Question: Hi Mike, I’ve been considering the raw foods diet, but wondering how to get started on such a lifestyle change. I live in Lansing, Michigan. Any suggestions? Thanks!
The key to making the kale salad is to first massage in the Celtic Sea Salt or Himalayan Salt, and let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes. Then add a little lemon juice, then mix in the remaining ingredients.
Eating raw is much easier with a high speed blender. A regular blender won’t make the staple recipes like almond milk, smooth cashew cream, and creamy soups. When I make a blended soup with a WalMart blender, there are big chunks of food that won’t blend. The cheap blenders cannot even blend soft veggies like red bell pepper and kale. The VitaMix and BlendTec blenders are the best, the Lequip blender is also great.
The best way to start is to pick a recipe or two, and practice it until it becomes easy and you can make it in just a couple minutes. For example, the nori rolls are awesome. When I first started it took me a half hour to prepare, and with a little practice it only takes a few minutes.
When I was there, I met Hiawatha Cromer. She is amazing! She is a kind and wise woman who has been eating raw vegan for many years. She is a senior citizen in excellent health, and occasionally teaches classes in Lansing and at Creative Health. There is not much info about her on-line, one site she works with is: Hiawatha Cromer and the Assembly of Yahweh http://www.assemblyofyahweh.com/rawfoods.htm
Quote
“Ms. Hiawatha Cromer, long time Program Director and head of the kitchen at Creative Health Institute in Hodunk, MI, has teamed with her church, the Assembly of Yahweh, in the farming community of Eaton Rapids, to open a new Raw Foods Teaching and Residence Health Center.”
You should meet both Bob McCauley and Hiawatha, they are great people! When I first met Bob, he was busy running his store and dealing with customers, but he still made a point to talk with me for about 45 minutes in the middle of the day!
To get started, I recommend a couple recipe books, plus a couple books on raw foods nutrition. My favorite nutrition authors are Brian Clement and Gabriel Cousens. They have some good articles on their websites: http://www.treeoflife.nu/articles http://www.aliveraw.com/Articles.aspx
I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks and have a great day!
Today I received a question, “I was curious if anyone has found difficulty in eating adequate calories on a vegan raw foods diet. I tried doing Doug Grahams 80/10/10 diet today and don’t feel hungry whatsoever. I ate ONLY sweet fruit and honestly feel great. but i only ate like 600 calories which is strange. is it recommended to really eat a certain amount even if you don’t feel hungry at all?? thanx =D”
Response by Mike Snyder:
Calories are interesting! They don’t neccesarily apply to raw and living foods.
A Calorie is a measurement, a unit of heat. 1 calorie = 4.18400 joules
A calorie is “a unit of food energy”
Another definition, “Food energy is the amount of energy in food that is available through digestion. Like other forms of energy, food energy is expressed in calories or joules.”
Another definition says “Any of several approximately equal units of heat, each measured as the quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1°C from a standard initial temperature, especially from 3.98°C, 14.5°C, or 19.5°C, at 1 atmosphere pressure. Also called gram calorie, small calorie.”
Since living foods are not subjected to heat, there is no way to measure them.
The calorie theory does not apply to living foods because they are never heated, so the unit of heat cannot be measured.
If you define a calorie as Food Energy, then living foods are the most calorie rich diet on earth.
> i ate ONLY sweet fruit
That’s not really 80 10 10. The 80 10 10 diet includes about 2 pounds of leafy greens, vegetables, and non-sweet fruits per day.
The best way to consume adequate Food Energy per day is to blend, juice, and sprout. The sprouts have the most Food Energy out of any other food, especially when measured by Kirlian cameras. Fresh vegetable juices allow you to consume 2 pounds of vegetables in one pint of juice. The juice gives you 99% of the nutrients, the only thing missing is the fiber. If you’re eating predominately raw foods, you don’t need fiber at every meal, some meals should be vegetable juice only.
Most Americans eat no fiber. They only eat white bread, meat, and cheese. No fiber!
If you are eating Boutenko Green Smoothies, Wigmore Energy Soup, and other blended foods on a daily basis, it is easy to consume adequate calories. If you are only eating whole fruits and salads, it will be very difficult to consume adequate quantites, because you will spend all day chewing. Boutenko said something about how Chimpanzee’s spend half of their day chewing leafy greens. Human’s are too busy to spend half their day chewing greens, so the only other option is to blend or juice.
This is an inspirational video about the benefits of a vegan raw foods diet. It was created by Markus Rothkranz and the GoRawNow.com team. It is the trailer to a movie he is putting together.
How did Dr. Robert Cassar go from being crippled and overweight… to being one of the world’s healthiest and most flexible natural health and raw food experts in just 3 short years?
I just watched a couple cool videos filmed by David Wolfe and his Longevity Now team, and I thought you would love to watch them.
He has a special guest with him, Dr. Robert Cassar. He is one of the healthiest 50 year olds I have ever seen! His flexibility and strength is impressive.
David spent some time interviewing Dr. Cassar at his home, and they are making the audio recordings available for you.
He demonstrates some pretty advanced yoga asanas! He is the real deal. In the next week, Dr. Robert Cassar will be sharing some of his most profound healing and longevity secrets. You don’t want to miss this!
My favorite natural health and raw foods expert is Dr. Brian Clement from Hippocrates Health Institute in Florida. In this audio, he shares with us tips for healing hepatitis c.
Transcript of Brian Clement’s discussion on healing hepatitus C:
Is there anything one can do to treat hepatitis C while taking interferon injections?
Interferon was a failed immune boosting medicine. It only came in to play in this country and around the world because the great American Armand Hammer funded that during his life. The original objective of interferon was to mimic the chemistry in the immune system with those titles.
The original idea was to take your blood out and mimic your personalized antibodies with interferon and or interleukin that would work for you. Tailored medicine that never came to pass. Armand Hammer’s passing the money dried up and it was placed on the shelf after the chemotherapy and radiation industry squelched it.
Hepatitis C was discovered approximately a decade and a half ago. Within six months after it hit the scientific news it was declared a fatal disease. First of all that is an impossibility to do legitimately in science. There’s a reason for that, when there is something called fatal.
There is a certain requirement for those pharmaceutical medicines are paid for in the process of healing. The track record with the use of interferon with hepatitis C, which in my opinion is not a fatal disease, if one takes care of him or her self. It has been at best, a failure. There are many in the field of viral research that has said to me that they think it is a greater determine than the disease itself.
We have seen the use of ionic sub-particluate silvers and ionic metals, be extremely helpful when they are IV’d in to a person. The elimination of all forms of sugar and anything that breaks into sugar is imperative, because as you know the liver is degenerating by viruses. You don’t want to further degenerate that and feed the viruses, by inputting their favorite food, sugar.
One has to rebuild the liver with a green diet. Lots of green juices, lots of wheat grass, lots of fresh organic green vegetables. We’ve seen so many people turn this disease around, and go from very sad sickly people to very happy and productive people.
If you don’t know who Angela is, she’s
lost over 160 pounds with a raw foods
lifestyle.
That’s an amazing accomplishment.
Since her incredible transformation, Angela
has been helping people change their lives
and release extra weight all over the world.
She’s got quite a story, as you can
imagine.
She was once tired, lazy, sick, cynical and
had a negative outlook on just about
everything.
Now she’s thin, energetic, healthy and
vibrant.
And the switch over actually didn’t take
too long.
The program that she just released (along
with Matt Monarch, and Kevin and Annmarie
Gianni) explains step-by-step through
video, email and workbooks exactly what
she did to gain back her health.
The program, The RevitaLive Plan is unique
in a few ways.
It has a different approach than the normal
“do-this” and “don’t-to-that” style many
health programs have.
It’s a program that allows you to
literally experience exactly what Angela
did to release all that weight and turn
her life around.
The program is also a multi-faceted system
that is delivered in a unique combination
of email, workbooks, support and videos, so
you don’t get overwhelmed and confused.
Today’s blog post discusses the benefits of superfoods. There is much confusion on the topic because of marketing hype surrounding many superfood supplements. In this article I review my top 7 raw vegan superfoods.
On a raw foods diet, my two favorite food categories are green smoothies and superfoods. I am often asked what a superfood is.
There are many myths surrounding superfoods. A recent article in Readers Digest had a list of their top 5 superfoods. It listed low nutrient, acidic junk foods such as peanut butter, oysters, tofu, and buffalo meat. Really?!? yuck!
Real superfoods are nutrient dense plant foods that are high in vitamins, minerals, amino acids, fatty acids, antioxidants, enzymes, and phytonutrients. Superfoods taste delicious and satisfying. They increase vitality and energy, prevent premature aging, boost the immune system, and they help prevent and reverse disease.
As a kid, I thought Cheerios cereal was a superfood because they make a big deal out of their “14 Vitamins & Minerals.” Today we all have access to real superfoods that contain over 90 vitamins and minerals per serving!
Eating superfoods will help us reach our full potential of perfect health, along with freedom from disease, aches, and pains! They help to eliminate food cravings which are often caused by a nutrient deficiency. When you eat nutrient rich superfoods, your deficiencies are quickly eliminated along with your cooked food cravings!
A couple of the bigger benefits are the anti-aging and longevity effects. When you eat superfoods, you receive all your essential nutrients in a small quanity of food.
Scientific studies on longevity reveal that people who eat large quantities of food have shorter life spans and higher rates of disease. People who eat a lower calorie, nutrient dense diet live longer with less disease.
On a raw superfood diet, you receive the same longevity and anti-aging benefits of a “Calorie Restricted” diet without being hungry! You can eat as much as you want and be completely satisfied after each meal. Raw vegan superfoods are the fountain of youth!
Here are my top 7 superfoods for achieving optimal health and longevity.
Sprouts:
Sprouts are the foundation of live food cuisine. There are thousands of foods that can be sprouted into superfoods.
They are inexpensive, easy to grow all year round, and they contain an average of 10 to 30 times more nutrients than the best organic vegetables. Sprouting removes the enzyme inhibitors and activate their full nutritional potential.
Some of my favorites include sunflower, quinoa, broccoli, lentil, alfalfa, mung, clover, mustard, and fenugreek. The sunflower sprout is one of the few plant sources of vitamin D!
At many of the raw food health retreats, such as Hippocrates, sprouts make up 50% of the diet. Sprouts are living foods. Living foods are more important than raw foods because they have more life force, more enzymes, more nutrition, and they are easier to digest. I usually make salads, nori rolls, or green smoothies with a mixture of three or four different types of sprouts.
The use of sprouts as food and medicine is an ancient practice that has been described in historical records thousands of years old. They are concentrated sources of nutrients and contain just as much protein by weight as red meat, without the harmful fat and cholesterol.
There are a few different techniques for sprouting. You can grow them with water only using a manual sprouter or a colander. There are also sprouting jars and bags. I like the “Sproutman Hemp Sprout Bag” designed by Steve Meyerwitz.
Sprouts can also be easily grown with an automatic sprouter such as the Freshlife or EasyGreen. Some sprouts can be grown in soil with simple plastic garden trays from your local nursery, and the EasyGreen sprouter can also use soil.
The use of ocean water to grow sprouts has been gaining popularity this past year. The Ocean Grown company carries a powerful ocean water solution which contains over 90 mineral elements, which you can use to water your sprouts and wheatgrass. The OceanGrown solution can also be used in the EasyGreen with great results.
Stay tuned for part 2 of the superfoods article coming later this week.

Many people feel that health is simply an absence of disease, but it is much more than that. I love your quote from your book, titled The Six Components of Great Health, “Perfect health is the point where the body is totally regenerating itself every moment and biological aging has stopped completely and each organ of the body is functioning to its capacity.” Can you discuss this and tell us about your definition of great health?
Bob McCauley’s answer:
Right. Well, you know it is that point where the body is totally rejuvenating itself and Peter Ragnar will tell you about that and Dean Coocoo will tell you about that. Some of these other guys that are out there doing raw food will tell you the same thing but the question is, how do we do that?
How do we rejuvenate the body? Because first of all people say, “Well, how do you know raw foods are healthy?” The thing I always come back with is, “Well, show me any evidence of chronic disease in the wild.” It does not exist.
Here in Michigan we are in deer season. Nobody is going to shoot a deer, bring it home, and find it full of cancer or arthritis or fibromyalgia or diabetes or high blood pressure or any of these problems. Again, we are talking chronic disease, not bacterial or viral. Somebody always comes back with, “Well, animals get rabies and they get tuberculosis.”
Okay, those are viral and bacterial and there are reasons why animals get
those diseases but chronic disease like that MS type of myalgia,
diabetes, cancer, we are the only species on earth that gets sick other
than the animals that we domesticate and put on a cooked food puppy
chow, cat chow, Purina chow diet. They end up with all of the diseases
that we have.
If you actually take your pet and you put your pet on the same diet that
you are on and feed him the same; you have spaghetti and Fifi has
spaghetti; you have steak and Fifi has steak and you have burritos and
Fifi has burritos then you are going to end up with cancer or
fibromyalgia or arthritis and so is Fifi over here. Fifi didn’t live on a
raw food diet just like you didn’t.
The only way we can really rejuvenate our body at a cellular level is by
eating raw fruits and vegetables. When we eat cooked foods for a
number of reasons we go back to a very key point here. A key term that I
use when I do a talk or when somebody interviews me I like to talk
about this term called oxidation reduction potential, ORP. It’s the ability
of a substance to reduce the oxidation of the body. What does that mean
exactly?
I will give you two examples of oxidation. Rust is slow oxidation. Fire is fast oxidation. You are burning yourself up. That’s what we are doing when we are aging. We are oxidizing.
What we want to do is reduce that oxidation. We want to retard the
oxidation of the body and we want to reverse the aging process as much
as we can. I have done that, but obviously I have done that biologically,
not chronologically.
I didn’t become younger. I didn’t turn back into a teenager or anything
but I have the body that I had when I was in my teens or when I was in
my twenties. As a matter of fact, I know that it’s a lot better now than it
was then for a number of reasons. I believe I was able to do that because
only raw fruits and vegetables have that potential to provide the body
with the proper nutrients that the body can rejuvenate itself with.
That’s what we call a nutraceutical. A nutraceutical is any type of a food
which all fruits and vegetables are nutraceuticals to some degree. We
talked about spirulina and chlorella. These are incredibly powerful
nutraceuticals. They are incredibly powerful foods.
Algae is the most incredible food when we get into juicing grasses and
herbs these are also very powerful foods. When you get down to fruit,
fruit does not have that really powerful nutraceutical quality to it. Still
they are nutraceuticals but they are just not as strong.
We get back to that whole question about variety. What you are trying to
do by being healthy is number one to reduce the oxygenation of the
body. Stopping the burning yourself up.
Every time you cook a food, you take a food that has a negative ORP, a
negative charge. That is what we are trying to put into our bodies. Our
bodies have a positive charge, a positive milivoltage, so we are trying to
reduce that oxidation.
There are only two substances I know of in the whole world that can do
that. One of them is roughage and vegetables. They all have a negative
charge. If you look at the MV or milivoltage of squeezed orange juice
you are going to see that it’s 115 negative to 250 negative.
When you cook a food, you have taken it from a negative and you’ve
turned it to a positive. What you have done essentially is oxidized that
food and now you are going to take it and put it into your body. That is
going to encourage and result in the further oxidation of your body. You
are accelerating the aging process.
This key point is only two substances have it, and one is raw fruits and
vegetables. The other one is ionized water which is why I always say
that this is one of the most incredible things that I’ve ever seen in my
life. It’s just something that is a nice little thing to add onto a health
regimen. This is a key component.
If you really want to be healthy you want to reduce the oxygenation of
the body and of course alkalize the body and detoxify the body. You
really want to put these kinds of substances into your body, the things
that have a negative charge. This includes only raw fruits and
vegetables.
All cooked foods have that positive charge and you want to stay away
from that. Raw fruits and vegetables and then ionized water that has that
negative charge. If we want to be healthy and I don’t care how sick you
are. If you have cancer, you have arthritis, you are a diabetic, you have
MS, or I don’t care what it is.
You only need to do three things to be healthy. You need to alkalize
your body and keep your PH up. You need to hydrate your body, give
you body the proper amounts of water and you need to detoxify the
body, alkalization, hydration, detoxification.
That’s all it takes but we always come back to the point or the question
of, “How do we get there?” That is what my Six Components of Health
is. That’s what I talk about.
Mike: The negative charge is the key reason ionized water helps with the
detoxification and provides antioxidants?
Bob: Water mimics many of the same properties of raw fruits and vegetables.
Ionized water has a negative charge. Raw fruits and vegetables have that
negative charge, that negative ORP. If you want to know one thing about
health, if there is one thing that you want to understand about it it’s to
understand that term ORP, oxidation reduction potential.
The people who interested me in ionized water were multi-level
marketers. They didn’t understand what they had in their hand. They just
knew how to regurgitate some of the points that were given to them but
when I finally realized one day and said, “Why is this an antioxidant?”
Ionized water is an antioxidant because of one thing, it has a negative
charge like raw fruits and vegetables and it has an abundance of
electrons like raw fruits and vegetables. The human body is starved for
electrons, but when you lose your electrons you develop in your body
what is called free radicals.
Most people have heard about free radicals and this is a kind of a
molecule or an atom that is missing an electron. When you put
something in your body that has an abundance of electrons they are free
radical scavengers. Once again that is why we need raw fruits and
vegetables and ionized water. They have that abundance of electrons.
There are no other substances out there that do.
When you have something that has an abundance of electrons then that
is going to be very alkaline. That is why when you have a high presence
of electrons in something it becomes very alkaline. When you have a
deficit of electrons through free radicals then that becomes very acidic.
You want to talk about ions because once again we always come down
to these very basic questions like ORP and then ions. Everything that we
want to do is put out our body into a negative ion environment. Raw
fruits and vegetables have negative ions. Ionized water has negative
ions.
I saw high density negative ion generators. It’s very important that you
put the air that you breathe have a lot of negative ions. I use magnets
extensively. They create a lot of negative ions when you put them next
to your body and that kind of stuff.
When I eat I have a plate magnet that I put my food on and the reason is
that changes everything on that plate to the negative side. Polarizing all
of the minerals that are in it and you are changing the position of the ion
to the negative.
Once again, I think we always make health way too complicated. On
paper we do confuse ourselves with all of these studies. People are
always confused about what is going on. A lot of people will say, “We
don’t have all the answers. There is not really one answer out there.”
That is not true. There is one answer to being healthy and it’s raw fruits
and vegetables. If you try to be healthy with supplements you are not
going to be healthy. When I say supplements I mean extracts and
concentrates, the typical vitamin and mineral supplement that you find
out there.
The medical community is always doing studies. What they do is they
answer some question and invariably they raise some more questions.
That is because they are always coming from the perspective of the
cooked world. They are coming from the perspective of the cooked food
diet.
It is just such a mystery why we get sick when the answers are right in
front of our face. Once again, let me just look at the common
denominators. Who gets sick?
Human beings get sick and the animals that we domesticate, not the
animals in the wild. Occasionally Mike, somebody will argue with me
and say, “Those animals they get cancer too but they don’t live long
enough for it to develop.”
Okay I always tell that person, “Could you please send me some
information, some kind of study, a book, or anything scientific to show
me where chronic disease existed in the wild. Animals naturally get
arthritis. They naturally get diabetes. They naturally get cancer. Just
show me some study.”
You know what? Nobody has ever shown that to me. I’ve been promised
that those e-mails would be coming to me. I’ll be a very old man waiting
for those e-mails because I know they are never going to come. Once
again, there is no evidence of chronic disease in the wild.
We make health so complicated when it is very, very simple. It’s not
easy. It’s not always easy to move to a raw food diet. There are some
easy things that you can that you could incorporate into your diet to
make yourself a lot healthier.
If you want to be healthy we should always strive for 100% raw but if
you only make it to 50% that is better than 100% or 80% cooked. If you
make it 60% raw that is even better but whatever you can do. We have
all kind of strived as much as we can if we really want to be healthy but
I want to say it one more time. Health is very simple.
We confuse ourselves by listening to the medical community and to the
pharmaceuticals and all of these guys. All pharmaceuticals ever do is try
to overcome the natural mechanisms of the human body. That’s why
they never work. That’s why they always have side effects. That’s why
they can’t give you a pill and make your diabetes go away.
If you become a diabetic they give you a pill or some kind of medication
or something and then you are on that stuff for the rest of your life.
That’s the way it always is when you are dealing with the premise that
cooked foods are healthy when of course they are not.
(Side note: Water Ionizers are available from Mike Snyder
at http://store.TheRawDiet.com or from Bob McCauley at http://www.WaterShed.net
Mike: There is a PH scale which runs from zero to fourteen where zero is
acidic and fourteen is alkaline and seven is neutral. You wrote that you
drink the water that is around 9.5 to 9.9? How does a high alkalinity
affect our health?
Bob: We are bombarded by acidic activity. What I mean is our cooked foods
are acidic. Stress is very acidic. Even exercise is very acidic. Pollution is
very acidic. That’s why when you get into a stressful situation you get
sick.
The classic example is when you say, “I’m going to go out on a big date.
I got up on Friday and I got a pimple. Well, why did you get a pimple?
You say it is coincidence. Well maybe it’s coincidence but every time?
The idea of a big date is psychologically very, very stressful. You are
worried about whether things are going to go right. “What am I going to
do when I pick up the girl?”
It becomes a very stressful situation and your body PH drops and it
opens you up to getting a cold, flu or a pimple. All disease lives in an
acid environment. It will not live or thrive in an alkaline environment.
I’m drinking a gallon to a gallon and a half of ionized water at a PH of
9.5 to 9.9 every day. I’m on 99% raw food diet. I do all of these other
things that are really healthy. I also do some exercises that I call
exercise. Some people call it Chi Gong. Peter Ragner and I are into Chi
Gong.
It is basically a martial art if you want to call it that. It is kind of like
what they call one of the soft martial arts. It’s basically chi is energy and
gong is work. It’s basically manipulation, you are working with energy.
These are all very alkalizing.
Meditation is very alkalizing for the body. Even with all of the things
that I do I still remain neutral right around 7. That’s where we want to be
at neutral. We don’t want to be too alkaline. The condition of being too
alkaline is known as alkalosis is extremely rare. It is always brought on
by some kind of disease.
The condition of acidosis is extremely common and is brought on
exclusively by life style. All disease comes from diet. We don’t inherit
any of our diseases. When you go into the doctor’s office they are going
to say, “What kind of diseases run in your family?”
That is a ridiculous question. Disease does not run in our family
genetically. It runs in our family’s dietary habits. You have the same
diseases that your mother and father had and that Uncle Frank had and
Aunt Sally had and all of your brother’s and sister’s because you live
under essentially the same diet.
There may be slight variations within that diet and there are other
components. There are other things in there that can make you sick or
that keep you from being sick. There is exercise. If you exercise a lot
you are going to be a much healthier person.
That’s why Sally got sick is that she is a couch potato and doesn’t do
anything and Mary didn’t get sick because she is an athlete and went out
for varsity sports and worked out every single day. There are other
components out there but it is almost impossible to over alkalize your
body if you are on a natural diet.
Just so I get this out there, everything I get out there is natural. I don’t
sell any supplements. People will say that spirulina and chlorella are
supplements. They are not. They are whole foods.
Spirulina and chlorella, consuming those is like eating a banana or
broccoli or any other whole raw food. They are not a bunch of things
that have been put together in something special. They are not anything
anybody invented. They are just whole foods that come from the wild
actually grown in a cultivated environment. I don’t really recommend
that people eat algae that comes from the wild.
The point I want to make is that when you do the things that nature
demands of us. When you go against nature like cooking your food, that
is not natural. I always tell people, “God grew an apple but he didn’t
grow a frying pan. That was our invention.”
When you cook your food that is unnatural. You consume it you are
going to get sick. When you flow with nature and do the things that
nature demands of us which you can see very clearly in The Six
Components of Health you will be very healthy.
Just as an example, all medicine is very unnatural. Pharmaceuticals are
very unnatural. People will say, “Boy, you must argue with doctors and
clash with them!” Not at all because the medical establishment and
medicine is in one direction and health is in an entirely different
direction.
I don’t even think about medications other than telling people, “Here is
an alternative.” You don’t have to go to the doctor when you get sick. I
think doctors are great when you get injured. That’s what they are there
for. They help you out with all sorts of injuries or any kind of trauma
situation or if you get injured in any way. That’s what they are there for.
When it comes to chronic disease of any kind, or even viral disease, they
are pretty much worthless. They always say, “Well, we have never cured
a virus.”
They have never cured a single disease, of any kind. Medical
science has cured nothing. They have got some vaccinations that have
prevented people from getting certain viruses such as smallpox and that
kind of stuff.
That is terrific, but you know you would not have to worry about
smallpox or any other viral disease including AIDS if we lived on a raw
food diet and we did the things that I have suggested. Since we don’t we
weaken our immune systems and weaken our bodies with this cooked
foot diet, this pale diet that is know as the cooked food diet.
You know, we require vaccinations and these kinds of things when we
get these terrible epidemics such as smallpox, which is a good example.
But cure a disease? The medical establishment never has cured a disease
nor will they ever cure any disease and everybody is waiting for a cure
for cancer.
I watched television, I watched some very smart guys on some of these
political shows and they were very smart people, you know, PhDs. Then
they write national columns and they are on television all the time. Here
they are telling you the cure for cancer is right around the corner. What
are they talking about? They have no clue.
I mean, the cure for cancer is never going to be found in the medical
world.
The cure for cancer is found in the raw world. If you have cancer, like any other disease, and I say this all the time to people, if you are sick it is because you allow yourself to remain sick.
If you want to be healthy, your body can cure itself of any disease if you stop putting the wrong things in it and start putting the right things into it. That is all it really takes.

For several years now I have been strongly recommending a detoxification product, Waiora’s Natural Cellular Defense activated liquid zeolite NCD. It is one of the most important supplements I have encountered in 35 years of medical practice, particularly for dealing with our modern polluted environment.
There are few supplements I recommend for everyone, but as long as one is breathing the air, drinking the water, and eating food it is important that one add NCD to one’s daily regimen.The levels of toxins we absorb from everyday life have increased to dangerous levels over the past 10 years to ridiculous levels.
Cancer which is accelerated by the toxic soup we live in is getting close to being the number one cause of death. WE do not have to suffer from the unconscious greed of the major pollutors and their lobbies because we have the ability as humans to adjust to most unheathly situations. NCD gives us this ability in a realitvley easy and tasteless way.
Reducing this involuntary toxic load improves digestion, aids the immune system, and protects us from the long term effects of these toxic wastes in our bodies. NCD is an effective chelator of heavy metals, with a high affinity for mercury, lead, cadmium, arsenic and antimony, the most common heavy metals we are exposed to.
Unlike traditional chelators, it does not remove beneficial minerals and nutrients from the body. NCD also clears out chemical toxins such as pesticides and Depleted Uranium. It has also removes some volatile organic compounds found in fertilizers and pesticides. We are also seeing beneficial action against viruses such as Hepatitis B and HIV.
The only ingredient in this product is activated zeolite, a mineral formed when volcanic ash is trapped under sea water for thousands of years. Zeolite is found on almost every continent. It is a shamanic miracle from God! NCD is classified by the FDA as a supplement, and has GRAS status (Generally Regarded as Safe).
Over the last three years of using NCD in my practice, I have found it to be helpful to children with such challenges as autism spectrum and attention deficit disorders. I have used it to treat people of all ages suffering from asthma, arthritis, allergies, diabetes, fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, acid reflux, MS, Alzheimer’s and other health conditions.
Because it has an action that seems to disrupt the reproduction of cancer cells, it has been used to good effect for assisting in the treatment of cancer. Because many cancers are formed when the body forms abnormal cells when exposed to carcinogens, NCD assists as a preventative by removing many carcinogens such as heavy metals and chemical toxins. NCD is compatible with most all supplements and pharmaceuticals and can even improve their effectiveness by clearing the digestive system so it is better able to absorb nutrients and treatment products.
The zeolite used in NCD goes through a patented process that renders it many times more effective than any powdered zeolite or any other zeolite product available. NCD is trustable as it is the most researched zeolite on the market. Shanti and I use it as well as all my children and grandchildren.
