FruiticultureForeword
by Dr. Douglas Graham
The year 1967, “The Summer of Love, ” was a time of relative in-
nocence; a rebellion against the establishment (the Vietnam War was really hea ting up 
) by back-to-the-land “hippies, ” or 
“flower children, ” and fantastic change (fans were blown away by the first season of Star Trek in ’66-67, and the technologi -
cal possibilities it foreshadowed). In ’69, the acclaimed singer/songwr iter Joni Mit chell captur
ed the generation when she 
wrote and performed the classic and often quoted song, Woodstock. In Fruiticulture, David appropriately used this quote from the song, and I agree fully:  “And we’ve got to get ourselves back to the garden. ”  
Certainly that phrase caught my attention, and that of countless other young men and 
women at the time, as we were in our formative years and we looked to the musicians for guidance on politics, philosophy, and even religion. More than one hundred different musicians wrote songs against our involvement in the Vietnam War, but Joni’s Woodstock may have been the most influential. Grace Slick ranted against the poisoning of our Earth as she and The Jefferson Airplane 
co-led the counterculture revolution. In the song, Eat Starch Mom, she quipped, tongue in cheek, “I don’t care if there’s chemicals it in, as long as my lettuce is crisp”; a sad but all too true commentary on the apathetic mainstream view towards health and the chemi -
cal poisoning of our planet. As John Lennon and T he B
eatles came of age, they stopped writing catchy but meaning -
less ditties and began expressing their views on life, politics, and yes, the revolution. In 
their song , Revolution , 
The Beatles acknowledged that “we all want to change the world, ”  
but made it clear that they will not support “destruction” or “people with minds that h a t e .” 
Even Peter Townsend and The Who, authors of the song, My Generation, couldn’t resist 
the temptation to write about their frustration in trying to create the changes that they 
6
Fruiticulturecould see were necessary if society was to go in a healthy direction. The lyrics to their 
song, Magic Bus, profoundly express what it is like to be a young person being squashed by an older generation that wields all the power and all the authority. Youth: “I want it, I want it, I want it, I want it, ” Authority: “You CAN’T have it. ”  
n
As a youth and then a teen, David Klein was immersed in all of these influences. He also withstood a continual nonstop bombardment of brainwashing from the main-stream medical establishment that told him there was “no cure” for his ulcerative colitis. From ages 18 to 26, ulcerative colitis destroyed his health and made his life miserable. He was told that diet was not a factor in his disease (he ate the standard American diet), and he must conform and take medicines, even though the medicines did not in any way help him heal. One medicine even gave him temporary brain damage. Through it all, David never surrendered his passion to reclaim his health. His search led 
him to the Fruitarian Diet, and thirty-four years later he is still crowing about how it res -
urrected his life, and then some. In Fruiticulture, David, along with his great ecologist friend Don Weaver, brings their shared dream to light—they literally pour their hearts out in revealing their vision of global health. Their message was never more necessary. Over the past twenty-five years, David has persistently and consistently focused on help -
ing others regain their health, guiding them on issues of diet and lifestyle, while Don has 
taught the world the value of plant -
ing fruit trees, growing organically, and remineralizing the world’s soils to bring us the truly nutritious food we are lacking. In Fruiticulture, David and Don take their teachings another step deeper, addressing the heart of the matter. David and Don teach us how to create a culture of fruit, the world’s best food, and the best agri-cultural crop for the environment. Four Fruitarians

FruiticultureIn Section 1, David explains the science that identifies our need for fruit, tells us what 
will happen if we don’t eat enough fruit, and then describes exactly how to guarantee that our fruit intake is sufficient. In Section II, David and Don identify the substances, influences, conditions, and forces 
necessary for growing the highest quality fruit from the healthiest trees, and they ex -
plain why fruitarianism and fruit-based agriculture can restore the world to vibrant health. In Sec tion III, Da
vid takes on big issues, such as how to end world hunger, pollution and 
wars. True to the slogan of “Think globally but act locally, ” Section IV explains what we can do 
as individuals to join, and lead, the Fruiticulture revolution. David and Don are co-leading a health revival for humanity and the planet, and I am fully 
on board. Together with our Fruitarian health educator friends we have put on numer -
ous Fruitarian health education events and contributed to each other’s literary works for mor e than twen t 
y years. n
These days, our athletes may have even more influence than the musicians. I had the good fortune of being Martina Navratilova’s nutrition coach at the time when she ate the first banana ever consumed live on television on court at a major tournament. That sum -
mer, thousands of recreational level tennis players mimicked her actions. The banana has remained an on-cour t staple ev
er since; an important step of acceptance for a fruit that 
was considered uncouth to eat out of hand a mere 100 years ago. When Michael Jordan crashed into our consciousness, an entire generation wanted to 
“Be like Mike, ” unthinkingly eating and drinking whatever he promoted, none of which was healthy. “Sir” Charles Barkley didn’t want to be held responsible for the effect his self-destructive lifestyle was having on his viewers. His famous quote, “I’m no role mod -
el, ” was an ineffective attempt at a disclaimer. Our good friend and my former student, Bradley Saul, r esponded b
y creating OrganicAthlete; a nonprofit organization dedicated 
to helping people to live more healthfully, while also encouraging athletes to take a more responsible role when choosing their sponsors. 8
FruiticultureToday, vegan athletes are no longer uncommon, and you will find them disproportion -
ately represented in the top ten percent of almost every sport. For the 2018-19 season, 
the NBA welc omes 
to the league its first raw vegan athlete in superstar Michael Porter Jr., 
a client of mine whose diet consists primarily of fruit, and is rounded out by raw vegeta -
bles, nuts, and seeds. The next wave of youngsters will be eating fruit when they choose to be like this Mike. David
’s idea for writing Fruiticulture with Don is a grand slam homer, as it brings us all 
back to our naturally healthful ways of eating sweet and juicy fruit, to living in peace and 
harmony with Nature, to the nurturing embrace of Hygiea, the goddess of health—en -
abling us to live long and healthy lives by giving humanity and our planet the nurturing care it truly needs. I think F ruiticultur 
e is the most important “planetary healers manual”  
since Viktoras Kulvinskas’s seminal Survival Into the 21st Century book of 1975, and shar -
ing Fruiticulture may be the single most important thing you ever do for your loved ones. Dr. Douglas Gr aham

Let’s Get Back to Nature – Now! by David Klein, Ph.D.  
 
Our global crises can only be attributed to humanity’s dis-
connection from Nature. We’ve cut ourselves off from our natural biological r oots and lost t 
ouch with our true in-
stinctual selves. Trapped in unnatural lifestyles, most have lost t ouch with their sense of appreciation, empa th 
y, com-
munal spirit and ability to reason. Worst of all, most people eat toxic pseudo -f 
oods, accept toxemia, defile the environ-
ment, attempt to remedy disease with chemicals, pardon 
pollution, f orsake compassion, condone k illing and ig
nore Nature’s munificent provi-
dence. And now our planet and too many of us are sick, suffering and in turmoil, hoping our go vernmen ts and unna 
tural technologies will bail us out. The most aberrant and destructive human imprudence of all is not eating our natural biological diet: the Fruitarian Diet. This mistake is the prime cause of:
 •  unhealthy minds and bodies
 •   worldwide disharmony and tur
moil
 •   disrespect for life
, killing and wars
 •   neurological and endocrine biochemical imbalances (men
tal and emotional)
 •   inability to reason and solve pr
oblems for the good of society and the planet
 •   addiction to and dependence upon unnatur
al, toxic and unsustainable industries and   
technologies for our basic needs 
 •   extrav
agant cancer and other killer disease rates
10
Fruiticulture •   exorbitant human overpopulation
 •   perilous environmental/ec
ological degradation
 •   cataclysmic animal extinc
tions
 •   birth defects
 •   rising infertility
 •   great planetary suff
ering
Now here’s the good news! By making a change to the Fruitarian Diet Lifestyle and Fruiticulture, the degradation of our 
genes, inability to reproduce, deformities, stunted intelligence potential, sociological delinquen-cies and turmoil, moral and ethical erosion, extravagant disease incidences, increasing overpop -
ulation, environmental degradation and destruction of our planet will be reversed. To be healthy in mind, body and spirit, each of us must be more vigilant than ever in bringing 
Nature back into our lives on a daily basis, and connecting with our Fruitarian instincts. Nature is beckoning! Wholeness will only be restored when we reconnect with our natural instincts and follow Natural Law, living healthfully and cooperatively/symbiotically as one human race and community of life. That means embracing the spirit of giving: appreciation, help, restoration, fruit sustenance, and 
love—every day, at every turn, for the good of all. This also means disconnecting from toxic technologies, sacrificing no animal for food and sanctioning no wars. Embracing Fruitarianism and Fruiticulture begets vibrant health, contentedness and deep reverence for the gifts of Nature. It puts an end to 99 percent of medical procedures and the 99 percent of the pharma-ceutical industry’s drugs, and sets humanity on the path of sustainable health for planet Earth and all her inhabitants. Permaculture DefinedPermaculture is a 
conscientious, civilized, way of living in harmony with Nature—a culture of 
living integrously, reverentially, synergistically, wholistically, healthfully, and sustainably, em-
ploying biomimicry and diverse organic horticulture, and complementary  “green” design and regenerative practices.11
FruiticultureFruit Defined 
That part of a seed package developed and grown specifically by a plant (stalk, vine or tree) to 
induce consumption by its biological symbionts, begetting the incidental benefit of the spread-ing of its seed. Fruit is the only form of plant life grown specifically as food for symbiotic beings. Fruiticulture DefinedFruiticulture is simply Permaculture with a focus on fruit (or “fruit-centric”) agriculture, or agro-
forestry, and local and global communities and economies based on fruit growing and eating. Frugivore DefinedA frugivore is an animal or being whose biological, physiological and anatomical design, con-
stitution, and natural instincts indicate that a fruit-based diet is its natural and, therefore, most healthful diet. Fruitarian DefinedA fruitarian is a human who eats his/her natural biological diet of primarily raw fruits and, sec -
ondarily, raw vegetables, plus minimal-to-moderate amounts of raw seeds and nuts.A Look at HistoryThroughout the ages, the healthiest and most successful people have been those living in har -
mony with Nature. The history of the Essenes, Hunzakuts, Vilcabambans and various aboriginal 
tribes provide us with significant lessons that we can use to our benefit. Consider that before the Europeans descended upon North America 500 years ago, this was a glorious, pristine conti-nent with abundance for all its inhabitants, who coexisted nearly perfectly with the land and its natural gifts. There was no waste, no pollution, no excessive carnage, minimal interference with the balance of Nature and no unnatural human population overgrowth. Of course, we “civilized, ” technology-obsessed humans have changed all of that and we must now reverse the tide, re-turning to our innate natural ways, getting ourselves “back to the garden, ” as Joni Mitchell put it. The world view of indigenous North American people included a collective responsibility for 
stewarding the land and taking from it only the essentials for sustenance and shelter. With a spiritual awareness of the interconnectedness and interdependence of all life forms on the Earth, they lived by a credo of sustainability for many generations. The Great Law of the Haudenosaunee, for example, states that “in our every deliberation we must consider the impact 12
Fruiticultureof our decisions on the next seven generations. ”   They sustained themselves well by anchoring 
their diet with the “Three Sisters”: squash, beans and corn, plus berries and nuts—each of which, except for nuts, is botanically classified as a fruit. The theme of the wonderful book Original Instructions – Indigenous Teachings for a Sustainable 
Future, edited by Melissa K. Nelson (2008), is remembrance of the “original instructions” handed down to and taught by indigenous people of our lands—that is, how to live on Earth “in a good way, in a way that lasts. ”   This way is a sacred journey marked by peace and harmony for seven generations and more to come. Via a spiritually-aware attitude of gratitude and conscious giving back to Mother Earth, a respectful kinship with all life is cultivated, facilitating civiliza-tions living in intimate harmony with their local environments, maintaining wholeness and abundance. In accordance with a common ancient legend, Native Americans revere their continent as 
“Turtle Island. ”  As the story goes, a very large tortoise volunteered its shell as a home for the land animals; North America is perched on its back. As such, their “island” home deserves to be

treated with honor and respect, since, if it was tipped over, everyone would drown. It seems we 
have tipped our “island” and are treading water. Today’s aboriginal elders pray that we wake up, join the original “sacred circle” and return to Turtle Island, restoring peace, health and prosperity for all. The ancient Essenes’ lovely doctrine of “Sevenfold Peace” can help us get there. It is about spiri-
tualizing our lives by practicing peace of body, mind, heart, family, community, creative work, ecology and, ultimately, all of physical and spiritual reality. This a good way for all of us to “be” every day. The Promise of FruiticultureAs you will glean from this book, the Fruitarian Diet and Fruiticulture are not only a delicious 
way to eat and a better form of agriculture, but they are the keys to every personal and plane -
tary transformation we desire, and they can optimally nourish all of humanity. We’ll explain how and why this is possible, and how the Fruitarian Diet literally saved my life and at least greatly enhanced the lives of most of the other contributors, as well as a million or so of others who’ve gone Fruitarian. After assimilating this entire book, I’d love to get your response to all of this! f

FruiticultureVeganic Fruiticulture is the Fruitful Way
by Jesse Krebs, Ph.D.
Veganic Fruiticulture is an approach to growing food 
that encompasses a respect for animals, the envi-ronment and human health. It is a form of agricul-ture that goes above and beyond the standards for organic farming by e x
cluding the use of products 
derived from confined animals and by encouraging the presence of native wild animals on the farmland. Organic farmers are permitted to use animal prod -
ucts as fertilizers: manure, blood meal, bone meal, feather meal, and fish emulsion. Veganic Fruiticulture breaks the link between live -
stock operations for the production of organic plant-foods by using plant-based t
echniques for soil fer -
tility such as: glacial rock dust, mulching, fruit and 
vegetable compost, g r
een manure, wood chips, crop rotation, polyculture and other sus-
tainable methods. A veganic maxim states that by feeding the soil, the soil will feed the plan ts and trees. A dding or 
ganic plant-based materials to the soil produces a rich, living 
soil that has a plethora of microorganisms, which in turn feed the plants and create long-term sustainable fertility. Veganic Fruiticulture is the ultimate ideal for a sustainable, vibrantly thriving culture. There simply is no better way of living in harmony with Mother Nature and being true to our frugivorous nature than to create cruelty-free, abundant fruit forests in every open space available. Who needs a grass lawn anyway? Can you imagine a society where you can walk and freely pick your lunch from the trees that line the streets and fill the public parks and places? Fruit trees create fertility, abundance, and health. We have a naturally symbiotic relationship with fruit trees. They tempt us with their 
sweet, tangy edibles so that we, in return, will spread their seeds to sustain their spe -
cies. No life is lost in Veganic Fruiticulture—there is only a perpetuation of fertility, life, 
15
Fruiticulturehealth and abundance. That is a life in harmony with nature—the foundational design 
element for all human systems, integrated harmoniously with the planet’s ecology. That is Veganic Fruiticulture! n

FruiticultureUnderstanding & Meeting Our True Human & Planetary Needs
by Don Weaver
My primary passion is for “the causes of health” and see -
ing humanity awaken to these causes and go beyond mis-
guided preoccupation with disease, destruction and death. It is time to transf or 
m our relationship to ourselves, Nature 
and the Earth by understanding and meeting true human and planetary needs. Clearly, such understanding and suf -
ficient “applied love” can swiftly restore and regenerate our now largely degenera t
e species on our interdependently 
degraded and depleted Earth Biosphere. This total Earth Regeneration requires that we free ourselves from the psy -
chic and physical addictions of our false little fear-driven 
egos which futilely a ttempt to fill the v oids mean 
t to be filled to overflowing with the 
natural expressions of human love, wisdom, goodness and compassionate action. These expressions are generally smothered by the false beliefs and miseducational systems de -
signed to produce competitive, conforming consumers who passively accept the health-and- earth-destruc tiv
e mass media images of “how to live in the modern world. ”
If our passion is for knowing how to live sanely, healthfully and constructively in symbi -
otic (not parasitic) relationship with each other and our home planet, then we will dis -
cover, and remember, those wise ways. Will they include living lightly, planting gardens and orchards, g iving back c 
ompost and rock dust to the soil which gave us our body, em -
bracing living nutrition and health? Surely it’s our degree of passion-compassion-love of life and gra titude f 
or Life which energizes us to muddle or fly toward realization of truth -
ful answers. As more and more of us rise up on our human/angel wings, the total world consciousness will rise up with us. Possibly the h
ypnotic spell imprisoning much of natural human consciousness can be 
broken as enough of us live a life demonstrating healthy love between people, animals, plants, trees and all Creation. Perhaps the wise, responsible and compassionate thing to do is for each of us to assume it is our passion that will determine the fate of humanity

FruiticultureGenerosity Towards the Earth Can Swiftly Reverse Our Soil-Food-
Health Degeneration
by Don Weaver
An unknown author—perhaps it was “the human soul”—proposed that: “Unhappiness 
is the hunger to get. Happiness is the hunger to give. ”  I think we can see a lot of truth in this as we observe our individual and collective lives. Have you ever felt completely well-nourished, healthy and whole, in no particular need for “more?”  Isn’t that when we’re most likely to feel spontaneously grateful to be alive, with Love in our hearts, and naturally wanting our friends, fellow humans and all life to share this simple, natural happiness? Is there any good reason why humanity and the Earth can’t move into an awakened 
consciousness of health and happiness, where our primary motivations are giving and sharing “simply abundant” life on a rejuvenated planet? We’ve dragged some of the heavy, obsolete, “bad” reasons into the new century, e.g. our hyper-competitive, separa -
tive, egocentric systems in every field, creating a mental climate that encourages the horrendous exploita tion of humanit
y, animals and the whole crying Earth. While we 
are greedily getting and getting and sucking dry our generously giving Mother Nature, we’ve neglected our critical role as givers and replenishers. Now in 2018, while we’ve so far miraculously managed to avoid nuclear self-destruction, it is clear that Nature’s finite reserves of quality soil-water-vegetation-air-climate-and-beauty are being severely de -
pleted worldwide. Therefore, a future in which we and Earth are alive and healthy clearly depends on a dr amatic flow er
ing of our true, generous minds and hearts to enable the 
essential symbiotic human-Earth regeneration. Psychologist Abraham Maslow (The Farthest Reaches of Human Nature) wrote that we 
have a “hierarchy of needs” and, until our primary survival needs of adequate food, wa -
ter, shelter and security are met, our “higher” needs or aspirations to share in conscious evolution and giving from our deepest na tur 
e of Intelligence and Love cannot be real -
ized. Ecologist John Hamaker (The Survival of Civilization) wrote that most of us are more or less deficien t in multiple essential nutrien ts 
, thanks to the “efficiency” of modern 
agribusiness, based on mining and poisoning the soil and ignoring “the Law of Return, ”  19
Fruiticulture

imal and vegetable conglomerations, the alcohol, tobacco and other drugs used to sup -
press pain and “stimulate” vitality, and we see a human race in deep trouble: a naturally 
beautiful, intelligent, inspired and aspiring human race largely “on hold, ” having yet to meet even its primary need for natural, fresh, pure mineral-vitamin-protein-enzyme-rich foods. Consider very deeply how much this can explain the manifestations of a global sickness—including the worldwide epidemic of “the hunger to get” and the relative scar -
city of “a happy mind in a healthy body” and “the hunger to give. ”
Since neither the U.S. Department of Soil Fertility Mining nor the profit-driven Medical 
Symptom Suppressing (usually body-destroying) Business nor the largely “corporate-20
Fruiticulturesponsored” governments appear ready to eliminate the causes of disease and support 
the causes of health, I suggest we each let our own lives be meaningful in leading the way toward personal and planetary Regeneration. Since the “health care” bill is up to $3.3 trillion per year in the U.S. alone, 1 of every 2.15 people is expected to develop can -
cer, and soil depletion worsens annually, obviously it is time we each respond fully and wisely . Let us start with the soil as our f ounda
tional life-support system, and establish a new, 
consciously symbiotic garden-culture relationship with the Earth via soil, food, air, sun -
light, trees and vegetation. Where else would one start?! If enough individuals, families and local communities consume produc e fr 
om organic, remineralized and composted 
soil while extending their garden, orchard and farm land, and embracing the beautiful principles of the ever-more comprehensively described Natural Hygiene, I think we’ll see a Global Health and Earth Regeneration Revolution quickly underway. What is the cur -

As of 2018, I think a realistic view leans toward “sooner. ”  However, let us remember our great capacity for awakening, understanding, transformation, and love-in-action. Why not do all we can to nourish these possibilities? Let us each realize that we truly do reap what we sow! f21

FruiticulturePathologies of Modern Diets 
by David Klein, Ph.D., Dr. T. C. Fry & 
Wes Peterson, N.D. The Big Destructive Mistake
by Dr. T. C. Fry & David Klein, Ph.D. The #1 mistake humankind makes several times every day is eating foods which we are 
not designed to eat, that is, foods which are not suitable to our biological and physi -
ological constitution and which poison and destroy the body and mind, causing virtually every disease condition humans fac e 
. We are not omnivores! Omnivorous diets that are 
high in grains and their byproducts and/or meat and animal byproducts are acidifying, toxifying, and deficient in nutrients. They destroy human health, causing physical and mental degeneration, low fertility, most disease conditions from A to Z, stunted longev -
ity and they greatly contribute to the pollution of the world’s environment and the de -
cline of global societies. Just as ker osene fouls up an automobile or air plane eng
ine, which was not designed for 
it, so too will foods foul up human bodies if they are not designed to handle them. If 
you are not physiologically adapted to a diet, it will be repulsive to you in its raw natural state—you cannot relish the food nor sustain yourself on it in good health. When you eat an unnatural diet by artifice, that is, by denaturing it by cooking and modifying and camouflaging its taste with condiments and so on, you are doing the following:
1. Deranging and destroying most or all of the nutrients within the food. 2. Deranging your taste buds through excitation with toxic substances to make the  
unpalatable food acceptable. 3. Potentially inflaming your or
gans. All poisonous substances, including alcohol, pun -
gent spices, vinegars, salts, onions, garlic, chili peppers, hot sauces, and charred meat, 
are harsh irritan ts tha
t can cause inflammation and impose insurmountable burdens 25
Fruiticultureupon the body’s defense system and organs of 
purification and elimination. A host of diseases results from their habitual use. 4. Causing nutrient deficiencies by eating a par -
tially or wholly nutrient deranged “food. ”5. Causing protein malnutr ition. C
ooking de -
stroys proteins and amino acids. Once oxidized 
and destr oyed b y c
ooking, you can no longer de -
rive any benefit from proteinaceous substances other than, per haps “empt y calor 
ies, ” that is, nu-
trient-bereft fuel. Once oxidized, proteins are soil (food) for bact er 
ia which putrefy (rot) it. Bacterial 
putrefactive byproducts are highly toxic and car -
cinogenic. These byproducts are methane gas (the source for smelly gas emissions when y ou ea 
t 
beans, for instance), hydrogen sulfide and mer -
captans (which yield the rotten egg smell when carried out by the methane gas), cada v 
erine, putrescine, ammonias, indoles, skatoles, 
leukomaines and a profusion of other toxic and carcinogenic substances. 6. Laying the groundwork for putrefactive bacterial flora that will vitiate your intestinal 
tract. Eaters of cooked foods and wrong foods have about two pounds of bacterial flora up and down their digestive tracts. Raw food eaters have only a few ounces. 7. Laying the groundwork for alcohol and vinegar poisoning. Heated sugars and carbo -
hydrates are readily fermented by fungi and bacteria with, first, alcohol as a byproduct 
and then vinegar which is dozens of times more t o 
xic than alcohol. 8. Intoxicating your body with the toxic debris (deranged nutrients) of what once had nutrient value. Instead of materials your body can use, you have toxins that put the body into a frenzy and, if overwhelmed by the toxic load, into a pathological state. 9. Overstimulating your nervous and endocrine systems, which in some people sends 
their sex drive into overdrive, which is a prime cause of the world’s overpopulation. 26
Fruiticulture10. Deranging our brain chemistry, resulting in reduced cognition and disconnection 
from our elegant bio-spiritual nature, instigating aberrant behaviors and, consequently, worldwide turmoil. This new study helps make the point:  “Intake of Raw Fruits and Vegetables Is Associated With Better Mental Health, ” from Frontiers in Psychology maga -
zine: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5902672/. As you can see, c ooked f
oods and condiments are a curse to our well-being. There are many toxic substances that are commonly eaten. For instance, all cooked oils 
and fats, as in fried foods, meats, nuts and seeds, contain deadly carcinogens. Their aerated fumes are worse in the lungs than tobacco smoke! For the bare truth about cooking, refer to the landmark report Diet, Nutrition and Cancer (1983) that was commis -
sioned by the U.S. National Academy of Sciences (https://www.nap.edu/catalog/371/diet-nutrition-and-cancer). T
he list of toxifying pseudo-foods seems endless! We Americans poison ourselves so 
much that we have more health problems per capita than any other country on earth. More than 16% of our national wealth goes down the disease rat hole. Humanity must wake up to the fact that virtually all discomforts, illnesses and suffering are abnormal, unnatural and unnecessary. f
Slabs of carcinogens27
FruiticultureIs Cooked Food Good for Us? by Dr. T. C. Fry
In nature all animals eat living foods as yielded up by na-
ture. Only humans cook their foods and only humans suffer widespread sicknesses and ailments . Those humans who 
eat mostly living foods are more alert, think clearer, sharper and more logically and become more active. Best of all, live food eaters become virtually sickness-free! Cooking is a process of food destruction from the moment 
heat is applied to the foodstuff. Long before dry ashes re -
sults, food values are totally destroyed. If you put your hand just for a moment into boil-ing water or on a hot stove, that should forever persuade you just how destructive heat is. Food is usually subject ed t
o these destructive temperatures for perhaps half an hour 
or more. What was living substance becomes totally dead very rapidly with exposure to heat! Cooking renders food toxic! The toxicity of the deranged debris of cooking is confirmed 
by the doubling and tripling of white blood cells after eating a cooked food meal. The white blood cells are the first line of defense and are, collectively, popularly called “the immune system. ”     
As confirmed by hundreds of researches cited in the prestigious National Academy of 
Science’s National Research Council’s book, Diet, Nutrition and Cancer, all cooking quickly generates mutagens and carcinogens in foods. Proteins begin coagulating and deaminating at temperatures commonly applied in cook -
ing, and are devoid of nutritive value.Vitamins are ra ther quick
ly destroyed by cooking. Minerals quickly lose their organic context and are returned to their native state as they 
occur in soil, seawater and rocks, metals and so on. In such a state they are unusable and the body often shunts them aside where they may combine with saturated fats and cho -
lesterol in the circulatory system, thus clogging it up with cement-like plaque. 28
FruiticultureHeated fats are especially damaging because they are altered to form acroleins, free radi -
cals and other mutagens and carcinogens as confirmed in Diet, Nutrition and Cancer. Thus you can see that dead f oods make dull
, low vitality, and diseased people. f

FruiticultureCooked Food Effects
by Wes Peterson, N.D.
During the past few decades there has been much research done in the area of nutri -
tion. Some of this research casts light on some important insights regarding the foods 
Mother Nature off ers t
o us in its whole, raw state, and what happens when we tamper 
with them. What exactly happens to food when it is cooked? What happens to the body if we eat 
cooked food? Some key points are covered in this article. Key Points Regarding the Effects of Cooking on Food and Health•  The food’s life force is greatly depleted or destroyed. The bioelectrical (energy) field is 
altered and greatly depleted (as is graphically demonstrated with kirlian photography). Live and bioactive (raw) food is rendered dead and inert. •  The biochemical structure and nutrient makeup of the food is altered from its origi -
nal state. Molecules in the food are deranged, degraded, and broken down. The food is 
degenerated in man y w
ays. Fiber in plant foods is broken down into a soft, passive sub -
stance which loses its broom-like and magnetic cleansing quality in the intestines. •  Nutr ients (vitamins, miner als
, amino acids, etc.) are depleted, destroyed, and altered. The degree of depletion, destruction, and alteration is simply a matter of temperature, 
cooking method, and time. •  Up to 50% of the protein is coagulated. Much of this is rendered unusable. High tem -
peratures also create cross-links in protein. Cross-linked proteins are implicated in many 
problems in the body, as well as being a fac t
or in the acceleration of the aging process. •  The interrelationship of nutrients is altered from its natural synergistic makeup. For ex -
ample, with meat, relatively more vitamin B-6 than methionine is destroyed, which fos-ters atherogenic free radical-initiating homocysteine accumulation (which is a factor in heart problems). •  The w
ater content of the food is decreased. The natural structure of the water is also 
changed.30
Fruiticulture•  Toxic substances and cooked “byproducts” are created. The higher the cooking tem-
perature, the more toxins that are created. Frying and grilling are especially toxin-gen -
erating. Various carcinogenic and mutagenic substances and hordes of free radicals are gener ated in c ooked fa 
ts and proteins in particular. •  Heat causes the molecules involved to collide, and repeated collision causes divalent bonding in order for new molecules, and hence a new substance, to form. In an ordi -
nary baked potato, there are 450 byproducts of every description. They have even been named “new chemical composit es
” . •  Unusable (waste) material is created, which has a cumulative congesting/clogging ef -
fect on the body and is a burden to the natural eliminative processes of the body. •  All of the enzymes present in r
aw foods are destroyed at temperatures as low as 118 
degrees Fahrenheit, killing the living foods. These enzymes, named “food enzymes, ” play 
a small, yet perhaps important, role in digestion. (The body’s own digestive secretions do the bulk of the digestion work.) •  After eating a cooked meal, there is a rush of white blood cells towards the digestive 
tract, leaving the rest of the body less protected by the immune system. From the point of view of the immune system, the body is being invaded by a foreign (toxic) substance when cooked food is eaten. •  A general augmentation of white corpuscles in the blood and a change in the rela -
tive proportions of different blood cells occurs. This phenomenon is called “digestive 
leukocytosis. ”
•  
The natural population of beneficial intestinal flora becomes dominated by putrefac -
tive bacteria (particularly from cooked meat), resulting in colonic dysfunction, allowing the absorption of toxins from the bo
wel. This phenomenon is variously called dysbacte -
ria, dysbiosis, or intestinal toxemia (toxicosis). •  A buildup of muc oid matter is cr ea
ted in the intestines. Mucoid plaque is a thick tar-
like substance which is the long-term result of undigested and uneliminated cooked 
food putrefying in the intestines. •  Cooked starches and fats in particular are a major culprit in constipation and clogging 
of the intestines.31
Fruiticulture•  A buildup of toxins and waste material occurs in many parts of the body, including 
within individual cells. Some of these toxins and wastes are called lipofuscin, which ac -
cumulates in the skin and nervous system, including the brain. It can be observed as “liver spots”  or 
“age spots. ”
•  Malnutrition occurs at the cellular level. Because cooked foods are lower in nutrients, in addition to containing wastes and toxins, individual cells don’t receive enough of the nutrients they need. •  There is a tendency towards obesity caused by overeating. Because the cells don’t get 
enough nutrients they are, so to speak, “always hungry” and hence “demand” more food. Cooked food is also less likely to be properly metabolized, which is another factor in ex -
cess weight gain. •  From time to time the body e xper
iences detoxification crises (also called purification 
or healing crises). This happens when toxins are released through the skin or dumped 
into the bloodstream for elimination by the liver, kidneys, and other organs. The symp -
toms may include headaches, fever, nausea, vomiting, colds, bronchitis, sinusitis, pneu -
monia, diarrhea, etc. •  The body can become so t o
xic that all kinds of particles, such as pollen, can cause de -
toxification crises, called “allergies. ”  An estimated 80 million Americans suffer from such 
“allergies . ”
•  The immune system (which is more accurately described as our defense system), hav -
ing to handle the massive daily invasions of toxins and toxic byproducts, eventually be -
comes overwhelmed and weakened; this is a key factor in the aging process. •  Some of the waste ma t
erial builds up in the arteries and clogs them, leading to high 
blood pressure, atherosclerosis, arteriosclerosis, strokes, etc., killing an estimated 50% of 
Americans. •  The wastes, toxins, mutagens, and carcinogens that build up within cells, as well as the 
daily onslaught of excess free radicals, eventually causes some cells to become cancer -
ous, killing an estimated 30% of Americans. •  In gener
al, the natural aging process is accelerated by cooked food. People who switch 
to raw food often become biologically and visibly younger.32
FruiticultureFrom Cancerologist Dr. Bruce Ames regarding “Mutagenesis, Carcinogenesis, and the 
Degenerative Diseases of Aging, ” cooking food is plausible as a contributor to cancer. A wide variety of chemicals are formed during cooking. Four groups of chemicals that cause tumors in rodents have attracted attention because of mutagenicity, potency, and concentration:
•  Nitrosamines are formed from nitrogen oxides present in gas flames or from other 
burning. Surprisingly little work has been done on the levels of nitrosamines in fish or meat cooked in gas ovens or barbecued, considering their mutagenic and carcinogenic potency. •  Heterocyclic amines are formed from heating amino acids or proteins.•  Polycyclic hydrocarbons are formed from charring meat.•  Furfural and similar furans are formed from heating sugars. •  Heating fat generates mutagenic epoxides, hydroperoxides, and unsaturated alde -
hydes, and may also be of importance.Leukoc yt
osis and Cooked Food
In 1930, research was conducted at the Institute of Clinical Chemistry in Lausanne, 
Switzerland, under the direction of Dr. Paul Kouchakoff. The effect of food (cooked/processed vs. raw/natural) on the immune system was tested and documented. Dr. Kouchakoff’s discovery concerned the leukocytes; the white blood cells. Apparently, a well-known phenomenon occurred immediately after a person ate. It was found that after a person eats cooked food, his/her blood responds immediately 
by increasing the number of white blood cells. This is a well-known phenomena called “digestive leukocytosis, ” which means that there is a rise in the number of leukocytes, or white blood cells, after eating. Since digestive leukocytosis was always observed after eating, it was considered to be a normal physiological response to eating. No one knew why the number of white cells would rise after eating, since this appeared to be a stress response, as if the body was reacting to something harmful, such as infection, trauma, or exposure to toxic chemicals.33
FruiticultureA Remarkable Discovery
Back in 1930, Swiss researchers of the Institute of Chemical Chemistry studied the influ -
ence of food on human blood and made a remarkable discovery. They found that eat -
ing unaltered, raw food or food heated at low temperatures did not cause a reaction in 
the blood . In addition, if a food had been heat
ed beyond a certain temperature (unique 
to each food), or if the food was processed (refined, added chemicals, etc. ), this ALWAYS caused a rise in the number of white cells in the blood. The researchers renamed this reaction “pathological leukocytosis” , since the body was reacting to highly altered food. They tested many different kinds of foods and found that if the foods were not overheat -
ed or refined, they caused no reaction. The body saw them as “friendly foods” . However, these same f oods, if heat ed a
t too high a temperature, caused a negative reaction in the 
blood, a reaction that is found only when the body is invaded by a dangerous pathogen or trauma. The Worst OffendersThe worst offenders of all, whether heated or not, were processed foods that had been 
refined (such as white flour or white rice), or homogenized (a process in which the fat in milk is subjected to artificial suspension), or pasteurized (also seen in milk, flash-heated to high temperatures to kill bacteria), or preserved (chemicals added to food to retard spoilage or to enhance taste or texture). in other words, foods that were changed from their original God-given state. Good examples of these harmful foods are: pasteurized milk, chocolate, margarine, sugar, candy, white flour, and regular salt. The researchers found that if these altered, chemical foods were chewed very thoroughly, the harm to the blood could be lessened. In addition, another amazing finding was that if some of the same food in its raw state was eaten with the cooked counterpart, the pathological reaction in the blood was minimized. However, avoid these unnatural, processed foods; replace them with delicious whole foods for optimal health.

FruiticultureSome Outstanding Facts for Y our Consideration
by Dr. T. C. Fry
    
1. While in a state of Nature, humans and as well other species developed natural equip -
ment and faculties for finding, taking, consuming, efficiently processing and utilizing 
foods which they adapted to . 2. D
espite the many and varied diets consumed by humans over the globe, our instinc -
tual dietary nature and faculties have not evolved away from our pristine foods. 3. The foods upon which we dev
eloped in nature necessarily nourished us adequately to 
bring us to our high state of development. The foods to which we adapted in Nature will 
still sustain us adequately and amply by meeting all our varied nutrient requirements. 4. With our modern botanical and horticultural expertise, we are capable of producing 
our natural foods of a quality that will continue to meet our nutrient needs and enable us to attain our highest potentials. 5. Symbiosis and cooperation exist in Nature to an extent most people do not realize. Educational texts and media do not teach our symbiotic role in Nature. Humans existed symbiotically in Nature, as did (and still now do) all undomesticated and unfarmed ani -
mals; humans ate fruits and dispersed the seeds, thereby perpetuating the fruit species and the human species, fulfilling our integ r
al roles in the Grand Web of Life. f

FruiticultureComparative Anatomy 
by Dr. Douglas Graham
How does one determine the correct food for any given creature? Let us suppose that 
you were given a baby animal and you had no idea what it was or what it was supposed to eat. Perhaps it was a gift from a foreign land. How would you know what to feed it? The answer is relatively simple. All you would have to do is offer the creature differ -
ent types of foods in their whole, natural state. That which it was designed for, it would 
eat. It w ould likely ig 
nore all the other items, not even considering them as food. I have 
done this successfully with orphaned animals that I have saved. The same technique would work with a human child. Put the child in a room with a lamb 
and a banana. Sit back and watch to see which he plays with and which he eats. We can be fairly sure of the outcome. Try again with fats versus fruits by offering a choice of (natural, raw, unsalted) nuts, seeds, avocados, or olives on the one hand and any fresh sweet fruit on the other. Again, we can safely predict that the child will choose the sweet fruit. Humans vs. CarnivoresThe following is an incomplete list of the major differences between humans and car -
nivorous creatures.Walking:  W
e have two hands and two feet, and we walk erect. All of the carnivores have 
four feet and perform their locomotion using all fours.Tails:  Carnivores have tails.Tongues:  Only the truly carnivorous animals have rasping (rough) tongues. All other 
creatures have smooth tongues. Claws :  Our lack of claws makes ripping skin or tough flesh extremely difficult. We pos -
sess much weaker, flat fingernails instead.Opposable T humbs
:  Our opposable thumbs make us extremely well equipped to col -
lect a meal of fruit in a matter of a few seconds. Most people find the process effortless. All we hav e t
o do is pick it. The claws of carnivores allow them to catch their prey in a 39
Fruiticulturematter of seconds as well. We could no more catch and rip the skin or tough flesh of a 
deer or bear barehanded than a lion could pick mangos or bananas. Births:  Humans usually have children one at a time. Carnivores typically give birth to 
litters. ColonFormation:  Our convoluted colons are quite different in design from the smooth 
colons of carnivorous animals. Intestinal Length:  Our intestinal tracts measure roughly 12 times the length of our tor -
sos (about 30 feet). This allows for the slow absorption of sugars and other water-borne 
nutrients from fruit . I
n contrast, the digestive tract of a carnivore is only 3 times the 
length of its torso. This is necessary to avoid rotting or decomposition of flesh inside the animal. The carnivore depends upon highly acidic secretions to facilitate rapid digestion and absorption in its very short tube. Still, the putrefaction of proteins and the rancidity of fats is evident in their feces. 40
FruiticultureMammary Glands:  The multiple teats on the abdomens of carnivores do not coincide 
with the pair of mammary glands on the chest of humans. Sleep:  Humans spend roughly two thirds of every 24-hour cycle actively awake. Carnivores typically sleep and rest from 18 to 20 hours per day and sometimes more. Microbial Tolerance:  Most carnivores can digest microbes that would be deadly for hu -
mans, such as those that cause botulism.Perspiration :  Humans sw 
eat from pores on their entire body. Carnivores sweat from 
the tongues only.Vision:  Our sense of vision responds to the full spectrum of color, making it possible to 
distinguish ripe from unripe fruit at a distance. Meat eaters do not typically see in full color. Meal Size:  Fruit is in scale to our food requirements. It fits our hands. A few pieces of 
fruit is enough to make a meal, leaving no waste. Carnivores typically eat the entire ani -
mal when they kill it. Drinking:  Should w e need t
o drink water, we can suck it with our lips, but we cannot 
lap it up. Carnivores’ tongues protrude outward so they can lap water when they need to 
drink. Placenta:  We have a discoid-style placenta, whereas the carnivores have zonary 
placentas. Vitamin C:  Carnivores manufacture their own vitamin C.  For us, vitamin C is an essential 
nutrient that we must get from our food. Jaw Movement:  Our ability to grind our food is unique to plant eaters. Meat eaters 
have no lateral movement in their jaws. Dental Formula:  Mammalogists use a system called the “dental formula” to describe the 
arrangement of teeth in each quadrant of the jaws of an animal’s mouth. This refers to the number of incisors, canines, and molars in each of the four quadrants. Starting from the center and moving outward, our formula, and that of most anthropoids, is 2/1/5. The dental formula for carnivores is 3/1/5-to-8.41
FruiticultureTeeth:  The molars of a carnivore are pointed and sharp. Ours are primarily flat, for 
mashing food. Our “canine” teeth bear no resemblance to true fangs. Nor do we have a mouth full of them, as a true carnivore does. I am reminded of one of Abraham Lincoln’s favorite retorts: “If you counted a sheep’s tail as a leg, how many legs would it have?”  Invariably, people would answer, “five. ” To which Lincoln would respond: “Only four. Counting the tail as a leg doesn’t make it one. ”
Tolerance of Fat:  We do not handle more than small quantities of fat well. Meat eaters 
thrive on a high-fat diet. Saliva and Urine pH:  All of the plant-eating creatures (including healthy humans) main -
tain alkaline saliva and urine most of the time. The saliva and urine of the meat-eating 
animals, howev er
, is acidic. Diet pH:  Carnivores thrive on a diet of acid-forming foods, whereas such a diet is deadly to humans, setting the stage for a wide variety of disease states. Our preferred foods are all alkaline-forming. Stomach Acid pH:  The pH level of the hydrochloric acid that humans produce in their 
stomachs generally ranges about 3 to 4 or higher but can go as low as 2.0. (0 = most acidic, 7 = neutral, 14 = most alka
 line). The stomach acid of cats and other mea
t eaters 
can be in the 1+ range and usually runs in the 2s. Because the pH scale is logarithmic, this means the stomach acid of a carnivore is at least 10 times stronger than that of a  
human and can be 100 or even 1,000 times stronger. Uric ase:  T rue car
nivores secrete an enzyme called uricase to metabolize the uric acid in 
flesh. We secrete none and so must neutralize this strong acid with our alkaline miner -
als, primarily calcium. The resulting calcium urate crystals are one of the many patho -
gens of meat eating, in this case giving rise to or contributing to gout, arthritis, rheuma -
tism, and bursitis.Digestive Enzymes :  O 
ur digestive enzymes are geared to make for easy fruit digestion. We produce ptyalin—also known as salivary amylase—to initiate the digestion of fruit. Meat-eating animals do not produce any ptyalin and have completely different digestive enzyme ratios. Sugar Metabolism:  The glucose and fructose in fruits fuel our cells without straining 42
Fruiticultureour pancreas (unless we eat a high-fat diet). Meat eaters do not handle sugars well. They 
are prone to diabetes if they eat a diet that is predominated by fruit. Intestinal Flora:  Humans have different bacterial colonies (flora) living in their intes -
tines than those found in carnivorous animals. The ones that are similar, such as lactoba-
cillus and E. coli are found in different ratios in the plant eaters’ intestines as compared to those of the carnivor es 
. Liver Size:  Carnivores have proportionately larger livers in comparison to their body size than humans. Cleanliness:  We are the most particular of all creatures about the cleanliness of our 
food. Carnivores are the least picky, and will eat dirt, bugs, organic debris, and other items along with their food. Natural Appetite:  Our mouths water at the sights and smells of the produce market. These are living foods, the source of our sustenance. But the smell of animals usually puts us off. Meat eaters’ mouths water at the sight of prey, and they react to the smell of animals as though they sense food. f

FruiticultureHow to Determine Our Natural Biological Diet 
by Dr. T. C. Fry
Exogenous and Aesthetic Requirements of Our Natural Vibrant Foods
This concerns the properties foods must have to meet the human biological disposition. Needless to say, within the bounds of our concept, our natural foods self-evidently exist -
ed in nature sufficiently to supply the needs of the populace of the time. They had to be available in plenitude, otherwise adapta
tions would not have occurred that we can eas -
ily determine. In plenitude of its natural foods, a species thrives and increases in num -
bers. In times of scarcity a species suffers famine and, sometimes, starvation within the area affect ed 
. Humans normally have reserves sufficient to carry them through famines 
for 50 to 60 days. Almost all species have adaptations that enable them to survive depri -
vation for periods of time. Aesthetic Requirements of O ur Na
tural Foods
To have been a natural food for humans, their needs must have been met for a period 
sufficiently long to have occasioned the development of equipment and faculties that appreciated it, and that surely and efficiently apprehended, acquired, consumed, digest -
ed, absorbed and utilized it. Our natural f oods
, therefore, must arouse 
our attention and desires as they exist or existed in nature. To attract our attention as foods, our natural foods must be beautiful to the human eye. Our sense of beauty re -
volves around that which is consonant with our well-being. T his is called our aesthetic
 
disposition. This sense developed and be -
came fixed by experience interacting with and modified by that which yielded value ,
