The Law of the Physical Universe is that "In order for one organism to live, another must die". The corollary to this law is that "Live organisms survive by consuming other live organisms". Consequently, it can be observed that the more LIFE there is in a food, the more nutritional benefit it contains when consumed.
Is it surprising that the vast majority of Americans -- who are heavy meat eaters -- die of heart disease and cancer and suffer from arthritis, gout, sinus infections, constipation, obesity, high cholesterol and high blood pressure, to name a few? Fortunately, every cell in your body completely replaces itself every 2 years. 98% in less than 1 year. Cells require varying lengths of time to regenerate, for example:
BRAIN 1 YEAR
BLOOD 4 MONTHS
SKELETON 3 MONTHS
DNA 2 MONTHS
LIVER 6 WEEKS
SKIN 4 WEEKS
STOMACH LINING 5 DAYS
TASTE BUDS 6 DAYS

In addition to this constant rebuilding reprocess, the body has a built-in, natural defense against disease capable of preventing illness or fighting off illness. This defensive system is called the Immune System. The Immune System is composed of the various organs of the body which cleanse and rid the body of toxic or harmful substances.
The human body contains about 75 TRILLION CELLS. The blood contains a small corps of toxin fighters called "lymphocytes" or white blood cells. These comprise only about one percent of the total body mass. These little lymphocytes "eat" anything the body considers to be toxic, including cancer cells. They kill cancer cells by producing hydrogen peroxide, a form of oxygen.
Cancer cells are mutant cells. Medical physiology textbooks state that "all cancers are caused by a failure of the immune system to destroy mutant cells". Obviously, the workable solution for cancer is to strengthen the immune system of the body!
In spite of this obvious simplicity, the "cancer industry" now employs more people to "fight" cancer than the number of people who actually have cancer! This industry generates $100 BILLION a year in the US alone. The giant, monopolistic vested interests which comprise the "Cancer Industry" include the drug companies that manufacture chemotherapy drugs (a $50 Billion a year business!), American Cancer Society (which collects $400 Million a year), The National Cancer Institute, the AMA, the FDA, and "health insurance" companies who falsely promote the "fight" against cancer. (Charlotte Gerson, "The Gerson Therapy - Healing 'Incurable' Illness", Volume 1, video taped lecture)
To date these established vested interests have not yet produced one single workable solution to cancer. In fact, it has now been proven statistically that cancer victims who receive NO TREATMENT AT ALL have a longer life expectancy and higher survival rate that those treated with chemotherapy, radiation and surgery! (Albert Earl Carter, "The Cancer Answer", ALM Publishers, 1988)
Factually, medical doctors and alternative health care practitioners who REALLY CAN CURE CANCER are arrested, prosecuted, thrown in jail, fined and lose their license to practice medicine. However, all of this turmoil seems to be of little consequence as there is a large and growing body of documented evidence that you can prevent and rid yourself of cancer simply by eating a diet consisting exclusively of organically grown raw fruits and vegetables and juices.

It is easily demonstrated that the human body is essentially a living carbon/oxygen engine which runs on low-temperature combustion CARBON fuel, somewhat like any other internal-combustion engine. Like an automobile engine, a body takes in fuel, burns the fuel and expels the unburned part of the fuel as waste.
OXYGEN is required to be combined with the CARBON fuel in order for the fuel to burn. If too little oxygen is mixed with the fuel, the fuel will not burn completely. If too little fuel is mixed with the oxygen, the fuel will not burn completely. Either way, the result is less energy and more waste from unburned fuel -- higher exhaust emissions and lower engine performance.
If you put the wrong kind of fuel in the gas tank, the car will not run efficiently. Using the correct fuel for your engine will make your automobile engine and your body "engine" run more efficiently.
The unburned waste material from the engine is expelled out the exhaust system through the exhaust pipe. If the waste is not expelled, it backs up into the engine, clogs everything up and the engine "dies".
The principal organs of the body's "exhaust system" includes the lungs, skin, blood, liver, gall bladder, kidneys, intestines, colon, lymph glands and bladder. If the body is overwhelmed by low quality fuel or unexpelled "exhaust" from the wrong kind of fuel, the body's engine also dies.
What is the correct "fuel" for a human body? What building material is better for constructing a strong, durable house? Straw or bricks? Obviously, bricks are the building material preferred by long experience because the house built of straw is weak and decays quickly. Living food is the brick the body uses to build a strong, durable body. Living, organic fuel in which the living enzymes have NOT been removed by processing or killed with heat, radiation or toxic chemicals is the preferred building material of all life forms on Earth.
Since the human body is a living organism it must use LIVING food as fuel. Car engines are "inorganic" or dead and can therefore use inorganic fuel. In a human body, living fuel burns more efficiently than DEAD food. It produces more energy and produces less "exhaust" and higher performance.
How do you know that living food is a better fuel for the body than dead food? Try this experiment: place a small piece of cooked meat in a shallow dish of water. Also place a fresh, organic carrot top in a shallow dish of water. Leave them in a room which is heated to 98.6 degrees farenheit for several days. You will notice that the meat will rot, putrefy and smell very bad. The same thing happens to the meat inside your intestines! In contrast, the carrot top, being a living organism, will sprout and start to grow!
Just like a car engine which has been using the wrong fuel, a human body which has been using dead fuel for a period of time begins to "die". Death of the body begins when the white lymphocytes or white blood cells of the body can not get rid of the toxic waste materials left behind from the use of dead fuel. When too many cells die, the whole body dies.
Fortunately, the body has the ability to replace every single cell with a brand new copy of itself every year or so. Due to the continuous cell renewal effort of the body, we can recover from disease and improve the quality of the body - provided we are using the correct fuel and not adding too many toxic substances into the environment of the living cells. You can prevent illness from bacteria and degenerative diseases and rid yourself of illness simply by changing the kind of fuel you consume. Rebuilding healthy cells requires the following SIX conditions:
Cells have feelings too. A cell is a living organism which communicates with all other cells. It can be demonstrated that individual cells become upset or depressed by your spiritual mood or by upsetting events in the environment around them. When cells are upset or depressed they don't do their jobs well.
Living fuel means organic fuel. Cells need to be fed live food which contain unheated or processed enzymes. The food must be free of toxic substances such as pesticides, preservatives and irradiation. In order for cells to create protein to build your body they need all 22 amino acids. They need all the vitamins and all the trace minerals available in herbs, raw fruits and vegetables, and ocean vegetables such as kelp and dulce. They also need essential oils found in live food oils (nuts, olives, seeds, etc.).
The body is more than 70% water. Coincidentally, raw fruits and vegatables are also composed of 70% water. All of the cells of the body need clean water. The water must be free from contaminates such as the poisonous chemicals put in the municipal water systems of about one-half of US cities: chlorine and fluoride. Both of these chemicals actually cause cancer. Drink only distilled water from glass containers. Plastic containers may cause a toxic chemical reaction with the water, especially when exposed to sunlight.
Mixing heat with oxygen and fuel causes combustion, which produces energy. We use exercise to get oxygen into the body and get the oxygen to circulate through the blood so that it can carry nutrition to the cells. This requires three types of exercise: aerobic (oxygenating) exercise, strength exercises and lymphatic stimulation.
Walking, running, stretching, deep breathing exercises and nearly every active sport get more oxygen into the body.
Research indicates that using a "rebounder" supplies all of the needs for exercise without detrimental side effects. Rebound exercise accomplishes the following:
1. Gets nutrients to the cells via the blood
2. Improves circulation which helps take waste away from the cells for
elimination
3. Uses gravity to help "pump" fluids through the cell walls, which helps
get nutrients into and waste out of the cells
The by product of burning fuel is waste material, like smoke and ash. Often the fuel itself IS waste material as far as the engine in concerned. For example, would you put sugar in the gas tank of your car? Would you pour grease and toxic sludge into your gas tank? You don't because the engine treats it as waste. It won't burn and so must be eliminated. Too much waste clogs up the engine and it stops running. This principle extends to food as well. Eating dead food forces your body to work hard to push the waste out. This processs takes a tremendous amount your energy, and leaves you feeling sluggish.
Herbs are , in a sense , wild vegetables. Most herbs have an unpleasant taste. The reason being that they contain many times the vitamin and mineral content as the food we normally eat. As well as many other health giving propeties and benefits.
Louis Pasteur, the eminent French chemist who invented "pasteurization", the process of heating milk and foods in order to kill bacteria, was convinced that 'germs cause disease'. In his early experiments with bacteria he attempted to grow bacterial cultures on fresh fruit without success. However, he did succeed in getting bacteria to grow in rotting soup.
A contemporary of Mr. Pasteur was a man named Antoine Beauchamps. Antoine questioned the Pasteur theory that germs cause disease, observing that flies do not cause garbage. Rather, that garbage attracts the flies. Further, that if you kill the flies, the flies will return as long as the garbage remains. So it is with the human body.
Two conditions must be true for an infection to take place in the body:
1) The body must be weakened by something OTHER THAN the bacteria.
This is obvious in that bacteria like streptococcus, tuberculosis, pneumonia, etc., are present all around us and throughout our bodies, and yet we are not always sick.
2) There must be "food" for the bacteria to feed on in the body.
Healthy cell tissue, like the fresh fruit in Louis Pasteur's experiment, offers the bacteria nothing to feed on. All bacteria are scavengers. Like flies, bacteria eat ONLY dead, toxic, rotting or decayed tissue. Viruses, bacteria, fungi, etc., attack the body only AFTER the body has become weakened by accumulated "garbage".
For example, colds and fevers are NOT caused by germs. These are symptoms of THE BODY'S EFFORT TO CLEANSE TOXINS FROM THE BODY. BACTERIA FEED ON BODIES WHICH ARE ALREADY WEAKENED BY TOO MANY TOXINS OR MALNUTRITION WHICH CAUSE THE BODY TO DECAY.
Factually, the prevention and cure of "disease" is not just to "kill the flies" -- we must clean up and get rid of the garbage in our bodies which bacteria feed on! When the body is cleaned up, our own natural defense against disease and bacteria (the Immune System) will be strong enough to defend our body from illness.
(At the time of Louis Pasteur's death, he admitted that he had been wrong about his "germ theory" of disease.)
