Plan Your Meals for the Week and Take a List With You to the Health-Food Store
I f your schedule is very busy, and you have a hard time thinking of what to fix, take some time before starting the diet to make a list of all of your favorite types of foods and possible meal plans. For ideas, look through cookbooks that specialize in hypoallergenic diets. |

For example, sesame seeds have three times the carbohydrate content of red cabbage, mung bean sprouts, green snap beans, and many other fruits and vegetables.18 Proteins contain an average of 25 percent oxygen. Fats have the lowest oxygen content, an average of about 12 percent. Although we need some unsaturated fatty acids for cell membrane formation, they steal oxygen. Another problem with fats, especially animal fats, is that most pesticides, herbicides, and other environmental toxins are fat soluble, so they increase our environmental toxin load and divert body oxygen for detoxification. |
The watery fruits and vegetables, because of their higher conductivity and their structured water energy, particularly enhance the activity. The closer we move to pure prana in our food, the easier it is for the pranic energy of the system to be drawn into the upper vortex field. The dense flesh foods and low-energy tamasic foods decrease the energy of the Kundalini vortex. Meat is so much denser than biogenic foods that it does not enter the pranic field as efficiently. |
The sea-solid-nourished garden fruits and vegetables were superior in taste. In general, the produce grown on sea solids seemed to be bigger and tastier than that grown on typical soil.
The message is clear: A highly mineralized body is a more disease-resistant and anti-aging body. Plants grown to maturity that do not have the proper minerals have a propensity to compensate. When we take in less than healthy plants, we do not get the proper nutrition. This takes us back to the concept of our inner biological terrain. |
After five years of forty-day fasts and living on fruits and vegetables with much meditation and other spiritual practices, it is reported that 1 percent of the Essenes were able to fast on prana as did Jesus, Elijah, and Moses.15 To live on prana is not the goal, but it does make the point that by a gradual process of Spiritual Fasting and meditation, the body becomes transformed into a perfect superconductor of the prana so that no other form of nutrition is needed. |

To derive this amount of vitamin C from our diet would require eating huge quantities of fruits and vegetables - more than 100 oranges each day, for example. Rather than overeat, we can supplement our diet with synthetic ascorbic acid, which is readily available and very inexpensive.
The maximum recommended oral dose of vitamin C is 75 g each day, but very few can tolerate this extremely high dose because it exceeds the laxative dose. While the majority of people take under 12 g per day, it is best to think in terms of the optimum tolerable dose. You can determine this for yourself. |

The most beneficial flavonoids for the eyes are the anthocyanosides, which are found in high concentrations in blueberries (especially the European blueberry, also called bilberry), grapes, and other fruits and vegetables. In addition to being powerful antioxidants, these compounds are thought to act as biochemical amplifiers in retinal photocon-duction (in other words, they help us see better)." In one study, administration of anthocyanosides to healthy individuals improved dark adaptation (night vision), macular sensitivity, and other aspects of visual function. |

It's about very, very busy people having a hard time getting fruits and vegetables into their life, and it's about making them easily accessible and making them taste good. Earth's Promise does all those things.
Enzymatic Therapy didn't copy other greens products. They had to reinvent it. They had to reinvent it in a way so it wasn't like putting your mouth over a lawnmower and sucking grass. Because the nutrients are so absorbable, we can see the wonderful pH changes in the urine of folks with osteoporosis and autoimmune diseases. |

We know that the hormonal system must have essential fatty acids, plenty of vitamins and minerals (from fresh fruits and vegetables, not tablets) to function optimally, but what we don't realize is that heated fats and fried foods such as fast food, margarine, and coffee and tea creamers prevent your body from utilizing those essential fatty acids and in so doing upset the hormonal system. Your skin may respond to this by "breaking out" in pustules, becoming dry and sensitive, or simply by aging faster. |

We've got to have everything present and that's going to include all those foods that we mentioned: fruits and vegetables, organic nuts, seeds and seaweed. I also recommend sprouts if you're into grasses.
We're really into distributing superfoods, which are things like spirulina and blue-green algae, and chlorella and bee products, like pollen and honey, maca from the highlands of the Andes Mountains and goji berries, the cacao bean -- which is the chocolate -- which is what all chocolate is made out of. These foods are extraordinarily nutritious and very fun to eat. |
What I recommend adding in are, of course, organic fruits and vegetables. Those things are very important, and when we're dealing with fruits, let's try to eat more of the lower sugar fruits. Things like tomatoes and cucumbers and even tart apples. Things of that nature are generally more supportive of our immune system than things like bananas or oranges, which can be very sugary and too sweet.
Of course, we want to add in raw nuts and seeds. That's very easy to do, since any health food store has these things. That is really a great source of fat and protein. |

But unprocessed, unrefined, wholesome fruits and vegetables right out of the garden cannot be marketed with any health claims whatsoever without running the risk of an FDA lawsuit.
And that, friends, is the current state of food politics in the United States: Foods that harm consumers are marketed with FDA-approved health claims, while foods that prevent disease are have their health benefits silenced by the FDA. Thank goodness we still have Freedom of Speech, or it would be illegal for me to even report this. |

Carotenoids
Population studies have shown that the risk of developing AMD is significantly reduced in individuals whose diet contains large amounts of fruits and vegetables rich in beta-carotene.12 Other carotenoids (compounds similar to beta-carotene) such as lutein and zeaxanthin may be even more important than beta-carotene. A survey of 876 elderly individuals revealed that those whose intake of lutein plus zeaxanthin was high (top 20 percentile) were 56% less likely to have AMD, compared with those whose intake of these carotenoids was low (bottom 20 percentile). |

Setting aside for now the question of whether it's even true that industry is providing healthier food, the sobering reality is that most people do not have access to truly healthy foods, such as fresh fruits and vegetables. I am fortunate to live in northern California, where fresh, seasonal produce is available throughout the year. My home in Oakland is within easy walking distance to one large grocery chain, two small local stores that sell healthy food, and a weekly farmers' market. I also own a car, which means I can drive to a nearby large natural-foods store when I need to. |
While it's true that government programs to promote fruits and vegetables pale in comparison to the marketing budgets of most corporations,20 a litde more funding from Uncle Sam is hardly going to make a dent. As former HHS secretary Tommy Thompson himself noted, "It's impossible to be in balance—the government is not going to spend that kind of money. |
Government surveys consistently confirm that Americans aren't eating anywhere near the government's daily recommended five to nine servings of fruits and vegetables.5 And our favorite "vegetable"? French fries.6
Another huge change is our obsession with sugary beverages. Sounds crazy, but humans used to just drink water. The nation's steep increase of sugar consumption directly follows the rise in soft drinks. Soft drinks are the biggest source of calories and provide more than one-third of all refined sugars in the American diet. |
I really hate to burst your bubble, CCF, but my resolve to support polices that promote the consumption of whole grains and fresh fruits and vegetables is based on decades of accepted nutrition science, not some twisted scheme to turn the world into Michele Simon clones. Indeed, "vegan" doesn't even accurately describe my position. Rather, I promote a whole foods, plant-based diet; there are plenty of vegan foods that don't fit that "agenda." But of course, CCF's smear rhetoric prefers to pass over a term like whole foods. |
Regardless of how much "whole grain" they add to Chips Ahoy cookies, companies like Kraft cannot provide us with the kind of optimal nutrition found in fresh fruits and vegetables. No matter how hard they try to convince you otherwise, the food and beverage industries have only their own best interests at heart. The rest is just a bunch of nutriwash.
"Responsible Marketing" to Kids

Other challenges include standardization and mass production of messy, perishable fruits and vegetables. Such annoyances of nature add up to more complexity and higher costs. As Matthew Paull, McDonald's chief financial officer candidly explained to the Economist magazine, "There is no question that we make more money from selling hamburgers and cheeseburgers. |

What we're saying here is, again, we want to make sure that we have the nutrients behind us, supporting us, the organic fruits and vegetables, nuts and seeds, seaweed, sprouts and wheatgrass, and that kind of thing. We want to make sure we have superfoods in our diet like bee products and spirullina and blue-green algae, and things like the cacao bean, which is the raw chocolate nut, and the goji berry and maca and these kinds of foods. We can have other foods, too, but we just want to make sure that we're not missing anything. |

In fact, fresh fruits and vegetables will prevent and even help reverse most chronic diseases. Foods will nourish your body, yet they are medicinal at the same time. All of the berries -- including blueberries, raspberries, cranberries, blackberries and strawberries -- are powerful medicines, especially the small, potent berries like blueberries and cranberries. They are packed with antioxidants and other vital nutrients that can help prevent and even reverse chronic disease in the human body.

The six measures of contamination used were:
• Percentage of the samples with two or more pesticides
• Average number of pesticides found on a sample
• Average amount (level in parts per million) of all pesticides found
• Maximum number of pesticides found on a single sample
• Number of pesticides found on the food in total
The guide does not present a complex assessment of pesticide risks but instead simply reflects the overall load of pesticides found on commonly eaten fruits and vegetables. The produce listed in the guide was chosen after an analysis of USDA food consumption data. |

There are health benefits from eating eight to twelve servings of fruits and vegetables each day. When you study the medical literature, you understand, without a doubt, that patients who take a complete balance of optimal levels of high-quality nutritional supplements have a health benefit over those who don’t.
So I don’t look at it as treating a disease. I look at it as a health benefit that improves their health. So we are just building up the body’s natural immune system -- the natural repair system, or what is referred to as the antioxidant defense system. |

It's astounding how many different fruits and vegetables are combined into this one product, this Berry Green powder. Ten years ago, they didn't have anything like this. Fifty years ago, they didn't even know about this stuff. Doctors thought there were only four vitamins. We sure learned a lot since then, right? Today, they think there's only "X" number of vitamins, and there's still more yet to be discovered.
Remember, the answers to health are right out there. It's up to you to decide which system you want to experience. |
We're talking about freeze-dried forms of these highly concentrated fruits and vegetables. This is what people need, and this is what people are lacking in their diets today. They need these foods to prevent disease and be healthy. Again, Berry Green is from Vermont-based New Chapter, which can be found online at www.newchapter.info.
Another great product: Zyflamend

In their carts, you'll notice they have lots of fruits and vegetables, lots of raw food ingredients, and you'll see that they tend to buy things in bulk. They'll buy bulk ingredients like brown rice, beans, or legumes. They actually pay attention to what they're buying by reading the ingredients labels, for example.
Contrast this to the everyday grocery shoppers: these are the everyday people who don’t really pay attention to nutrition. They don't make good choices. They basically pull things off the shelves that they've seen on television. |

If you want to be healthy, you have to give up the standard foods available in America, such as processed and manufactured foods, and replace them with natural whole foods such as nuts and whole grains, fruits and vegetables, and then supplement your diet with nutritional supplements and superfoods. If you do that, you're going to have greatly enhanced cardiovascular health, and you're going to have normal cholesterol levels. It's basic cause and effect. This follows the laws of biochemistry: if you eat the right foods, you can't help but to have healthy cholesterol levels. |

And if people started eating fruits and vegetables, if the food supply was cleaned up to remove metabolic disruptors and toxic ingredients, and if hydrogenated oils were banned, then the average lifespan in this country would increase even further. That will cost the government billions of dollars that it doesn't have. Which means, of course, we'd have to sell more treasury bills (government debt) to China and Japan. |

But even more interesting, when human beings consume these fruits and vegetables, they receive additional health benefits, such as enhanced immune system function, that would not be available if they were eating plants that were not treated with sea kelp. Sea kelp is something that's quite inexpensive to use, and it seems to offer tremendous benefits to the home gardener. |
