VITAMIN ABSORBTION
Many multi-vitamins just pass through you, into the toilet. According
to a Nutritional Researcher," 80 % of the people who try vitamins are
not metabolizing properly. The vitamins run right through the body,
and out the other."
If you ever took care of a child, you probably saw undigested pieces
of food in the stool. That's because it moved out of the stomach
before it disintegrated. The same thing often happens with some of the
multi-vitamins currently on the market.
I was at a seminar once and spoke with a doctor in the hallway. He
stated that one time there was a test done on the many pills that were
constantly invading the sewer system. They all turned out to be
undigested vitamin pills. The sugar coating was dissolved in most
cases.
If you watch your own stool, there is a good chance the same thing is
happening if you are currently taking vitamin pills.
Scientists have taken x-rays and little piles of stones appeared in
their digestive tract.
The United States Pharmacopoeia has published a recommended standard
for the disintegration of a vitamin tablet in the stomach. Basically
a tablet is supposed to dissolve in up to an hour and a half.
The trouble is the tablet does not sit there in the stomach. It gets
dumped into the intestines. Each nutrient in the tablet is supposed to
be absorbed in a particular spot of the intestine. If the nutrient
isn't released by the time it gets to that precise spot, you're out of
luck for that nutrient.
Many think a vitamin is a vitamin. A very common coating is a shellac
made from boiled insect bodies, chosen for the effectiveness at
holding things together, instead of letting things come apart.
Calcium is essential for bones. The commonly used nutrient is
calcium carbonate. This can cause gas in the stomach and be difficult
to absorb.
Many people who are at risk for heart problems have shown to be low in
Magnesium. One of the least expensive forms of this nutrient is
magnesium oxide. This can cause bowel dysfunction problems. Magnesium
glycinate, can be absorbed 4 times better. Digestive imparements begin
at age 20 for many people. At age 40, the production of the
hydrocloric acid is probably down in the stomach.
I like to use to use a vitamin that is easily comes apart. When I am
burning fuels properly, my body benifits. People can have abnormal
amounts of fat on their body or surronding their organs. If the the
metabolic dysfunction is repaired by proper use of nutrients and diet,
they tend to burn their fats for energy much better.
I have used other kinds of vitamins in the past. For about two weeks I
felt energy from them. Then something happens and they do not work
anymore for me. When I use vitamins that are made properly, it's the
difference between dragging along at the end of the day and leaps and
bounds.
Live Foods Are Essential
Many doctors and nutritionists today can see clearly that lack of
knowledge of how our bodies work can be the cause of many of our
organic troubles. It is now known that if a person could eat the
right foods in the right amounts throught their lifetime, he would be
less susceptable to disease, more able to combat sickness and less
likely to need vitamin, mineral, and other supplements. The great
demand for vitamin and other supplemental pills have been on the
increase and manufacturers are making a darn good profit.
Years ago (1918) minute quanities of substances were discovered in
foods which were found to be necessary to prevent certain illnesses.
These substances became known as vitamins. In the never ending battle
to re-invent the wheel, there still remains what is known and unknown
substances. All these known and the unknown substances are still all
found in food. It is generally agreed that food, "including herbs," is
still by far the best sources of vitamins and minerals.
There is nothing wrong with taking vitamins when necessary. The proper
supplement should be prescribed by a physician and or under guidance
of a nutritionist. Especially when taking synthetic and hard inorganic
substances. Another factor is the possibility that dependence on
supplements will withdraw attention from a well-balanced diet, which
of course contain both the known and unknown nutrients to survive in
the first place.
Man is made up of four basic things; what he eats and drinks, what he
breathes, and what he thinks. Performing any one of these in the wrong
manner can cause an unbalance of his body chemistry.
One can eat four or five big meals a day, and yet the body may be
starved through lack of vital elements in the food.
There is not a drug in the world that will supply the river of life,
your blood stream with anything in a way in which the body can use it
for permanent repair. A drug is ment to stabilize a condition and
food for maintenance and repair. This is why it is so important to
follow up the doctors advice with the knowledge of a nutritionist.
After all a doctor is only taught around 20 or 30 hours of nutrition
to get his/her degree in medicine.
An overlooked Substance OXYGEN
If a person moved from low ground into high ground (mountains) and is
placed in a stressful activity, they could not play as long as the
rest that already live there. In a young body and in the period of a
year the body will grow new arteries to adept to the new enviroment.
"And God said, let there be a firmament (atmosphere) in the midst of
the waters, and let it divide the waters (above the atmosphere) from
the waters (lakes and streams on earth). And God made the firmament
(the 'expanse'-air or atmosphere), and divided the waters which were
under the firmament (lakes and streams on earth) from the waters (of
the great watery canopy or aqueous ring) which were above the
firmament (atmosphere) ..... And God called the firmament (atmosphere)
Heaven ....and God called the dry land Earth."
Genesis 1:6 to 11.
Planets in our own solar system have rings of water today, so why
not! This would certainly suggest Moses canopy of water that caused
the great flood of Noah's day. This watery ring could have been held
up with the earths own centrifical force creating a greenhouse effect.
The warm rays of the sun would penetrate the water and cause a even
distribution of almost perfect light and ideal climate, and the
great upheavals of nature being unknown.
Under such perfect greenhouse type conditions both plant and animal
life could thrive and attain such great length that they could
possibly grow to enormous size. The soil might even have produced
nearly perfect food so that men lived a thousand years as the ancient
religious scrolls suggest. The great flood would have filled the
great valleys, leaving only the tops of mountains and plateaus
protruding from the waters. Religious authorities claim from their
research, the flood raised the sea level about three miles.
Now if the atmospheric pressure was about 22 pounds to the inch in
those valleys, and the pressure is somewhere around 14-15 pounds
average on these plateaus, this could spell one thing OXYGEN! For
under such atmospheric pressure the air would be so heavy with oxygen,
it could act as a great oxygen tent. This same atmospheric pressure
might have caused humans deeper breathing, using all of his lungs,
as opposed to the top part of them we use today.
Not only could this deep breathing under those atmospheric conditions
contribute to his long life span, but the food that might have grown
there would be superior in oxygen to what we have available today.
This heavily oxygenated air would do more than that; it could
completely prevent any such thing as rot, or fermentation. If such a
condition ever existed, someone would have to either burn or bury it
in the ground to allow the chemicals of the earth to dispose of it.
This could also suggest that fruits and vegatables could be left in
the open oxygenated air and remain fresh for a very long time. Louis
Pasteur claimed the process of fermentation to be caused because of
the lack of oxygen, thus gaining the necessary oxygen from other
substances.
What would all this mean! It would mean that everything on the face of
this planet is constantly oxygen starved. Although this cannot be
absolutely proven, as with any religion, never the less, it is an
interesting hypothesis of historical literature.
For when "Noah began to be a husbandman (right after the flood) he
planted a vineyard: and he drank the wine, and was drunken; and he was
uncovered within his tent."
Genesis 9:20, 21.
We should be quick to point out that this historic literature is
looked upon as a fact, then Noah would have been completely innocent
of any wrong doing. Why! because Noah knew nothing about intoxicating
drinks, and he never heard of such a thing as drunkeness. Prior to the
flood fermentation could have been virtually unknown. It would have
been no doubt the custom of Noah to keep fruits and vegatables for
possibily years.
The Greek word for our English "soul", "spirit", or "life" is the word
"pneuma", and it too means "a current of clean air (oxygen)". This
same word "pneuma" is rendered "spirit", as "the Spirit of God" and
"the spirit of man". Can this also suggest that both words "spirit"
and "pneuma" mean oxygen. A few years back it was common to call our
automobile tires "PNEUMA-tic tires", meaning air filled, oxygen-filled
or spirit filled?
The Latin word for "spira" for spirit or life suggests even stronger,
this meaning "CLEAN FRESH AIR". Clean fresh air is oxygen, the most
cleansing agent upon earth then chlorophyl.
Man can live without food and water for possibly 30 days, but not more
than 10 minutes without the secret of life "oxygen".
Nothing shall hurt nor destroy anywhere in my holy mountain (or the
earth); for the knowledge of the lord is that the ocean bed that is
covered by the waters of the sea shall be the LAND (of the new earth).
Isaiah 11:9
Thus saith the lord God: In the day that I shall have cleansed you
>from all your iniquities (rot, decay, fermentation, etc.) I will also
cause you to dwell in the cities, and the wastes shall be builded. And
the desolate land shall be tilled, whereas it lay desolate in the
sight that all passed by. And they shall say, This land that was
desolate (covered by water?) is become LIKE THE GARDEN OF EDEN; and
the waste and ruined cities (covered by the sea in Noah's day?) are
become fenced, and are inhabited.
Ezekiel 36:33, 34 35.
Whether or not we want to believe the words of ancient historic
scrolls, of course is of little concern here; for we point out their
words only to suggest our point on the importance of life giving
oxygen!
Hippocrates, the "father of medicine" it is claimed, said "Your FOODS
shall be your remidies and your remidies your FOODS."
Chlorophyll and body cleansing
Healthy cows and sheep that are feed on green pastures sleep little!
Why? Because they live on a diet of oxygen grass filled with cleansing
and purifying chlorophyl, which leaves very little waste matter in
their bodies. With little waste matter in their bodies, this leaves
little sleep for body cleansing. Change their diet to waste forming
corn and bran, and you can rest assured they will sleep, just as the
horse will sleep on such a diet.
People who are fat and heavy eaters often fall asleep as soon as they
sit down. Sleep is simply a process of body cleansing.
Can this all suggest that the perfect diet - "the tree of life - was
food grown in an atmospheric pressure even greater than its oxygen
content and green, cleansing chlorophyll content gave man perfect
health, inexhaustible vitality, and everlasting life as long as he had
access to it!
But this fruit grew only in the garden that was "planted eastward in
Eden"Genesis 2:8, 9), not in other parts of the land of Eden, , and
man lost the benifit of this perfect fruit when he was "sent forth
>from the garden" (Genesis 3:22, 23).
To the first man and woman on the earth he said, You may eat "OF THE
FRUIT OF THE TREES OF THE GARDEN" (Genesis 3:2), and on expulsion from
the garden he added, "AND THOU SHALT EAT THE HERB OF THE FIELD"
(Genesis 3:18)! There it is - The diet of oxygen - pure and simple!
This would suggest outside the garden the food contained waste matter,
and the chlorophyl was added to dissolve the waste matter and carry it
off with the roughage!
Do not fail to examine the full scientific principle of the quotes
>from these ancient scrolls. For note it only includes the LIVING foods
- those that are still ALIVE with life giving oxygen and cleansing
chlorophyl!
This could suggest that we crave the very food that has built up in
our system. It could be charastic of the body to get used to and crave
the very posionous substance circulating in the blood stream just like
the person that smokes cigarettes or drinks alcohol for instance. To
sway away from this habit, most certainly will cause a healing crisis
to start in short order.
As a rule it will do no great harm to eat cooked foods, provided that
a sufficient quanity of live food is also taken. When food is cooked,
its oxygen is lost and much of the vital force is destroyed.
There is nothing morally wrong with eating meat. We just want to
point out that meat is non oxygenated food. Many people point to the
fact that the creator did not deprive, Israel, of meat, and that early
Christians was not opposed to meat as a food. However meat was not
even considered a food until after the flood of noah's day. It would
have been either eat the flesh or die of starvation. They had no
alternative! It was a question of -survival- and they were forced to
swallow it even with the knowledge that it would cut their life span
>from almost a thousand years to less than one hundred and twenty
years (Genesis 6:3)!
Washing Fruits and Vegetable's (dandelions)
All fruits and vegatables should always be washed before consuming
them. All foods that have been sprayed should be immersed in a strong
salt brine for as long as half an hour, then washed under cold running
water before being used.
Another way is to create a diluted form of hydrochloric acid to Remove
parasites and various pesticides from fruits and vegatables. To do
this, fill the sink with cold water and add the juice of 1 live lemon
and 5-8 tablespoons of salt. Soaking 10-15 minutes should do the
trick. Wash the food well under cold water before use.
Some sprays are poisonous to people who lack the normal digestive
acid. Also, in Mexico and the Orient, it is wise to wash all
vegatables period. Because the world is getting smaller, we do get
many of our fruits and vegatables from these Countries today. Try
this:
Buy from your druggist one ounce of chemically pure hydrochloric acid
and pour it into three quarts of water. This makes approximately 1
percent solution and is harmless. Place this solution in a large jar.
It can be used for a week or more. Simply place the fruits or
vegatables in the solution for ten - fifteen minutes, then remove and
rinse them well with cold water.
You can also get a wash solution from the health food store with
instructions just for this purpose.
When the fruits and vegatables are juiced, many of the chemicals will
not adhere to the juice. The chemicals will adhere to the fiber left
in the hopper or basket like a magnet to steel.
OUR BODIES
Pythagoras, "originator of science", taught that only living fresh
foods could enable man to apprehend the truth.
The body can be looked upon as an electrically charged battery. When
instruments are used on a person that is dead, there will not be any
electrical charge left.
When all dead atoms are eaten and no live food has been consumed, our
negative side of ourselves show up. The eyes are able to tell it all
too! The only exception is the condition of the gall bladder. The
fabric of the eye changes from the condition our body is in. The old
saying, you are what you eat. Look in the mirror and notice the
discrepancies with the fabric of the iris of your own eyes. Over time
this can show up as permanent damage. Put a drop of iodine on your
knee and it will appear immediately in the iris. The eye is the window
of the soul.
Chlorophyll is green and blood is red right? Put these under a common
ultra violet light and the blood turns green and the chlorophyll turns
red. The only molecular difference between the two is the atom of iron
in blood and the atom of magnesium in the plant.
We have heard of an experiment done with animals. The transfusion was
done with the green of the plant, not only did the animal survive, but
it thrived. The green of the plant was immediately transformed into
red blood by the liver according to the scientist Briukhonenko. Plants
reach up to the sky and grab sunlight and trap its energy into the
life blood of the plant called chlorophyll.
Animals are reported to be barely able to have a grasp on their
awareness, Man is supposed to be able to grasp awareness. We can
increase that awareness with live foods and time.
An excellent source of little known information is a book about a man
that claimed to have cured himself of a disease called Tuberculosis.
This book is called "MINERAL, VEGATABLE AND ANIMAL LIFE" by Edward
Leedskalnin. He laid in the sunshine completely uncovered for awhile
every day until he was cured. You will be glad you bought the book!
Also while you are at it consider the book called "MAGNETIC CURRENT"
or just order the complete writings in one packet. Coral Castle, 28655
South Federal Highway, Homestead, FL. 33030. Telephone (305) 248-6344
(we found it on one of our trips).
We have other documented cases from the days gone by, but this is the
most fascinating and informative for only $5.00 or so. Don't pass it
up!
A gorilla has a remarkable resemblance to many of mans intestines. For
example, the colon is real close to ours. Yet if a gorilla is forced
to fed on vegatables for a couple of months, I doubt if the gorilla
will have enough strength left to lift a man. If the gorilla is fed
fruits for the same amount of time instead, the gorilla will not only
have the strength to lift the man, but to toss him a considerable
distance. Force this same gorilla to eat meat for this same period of
time, and the gorilla will die.
Juicing Fruits and Vegetables
Do not mix vegetable and fruit juices together. The fruit acids are
not compatible with many vegatables and will upset your stomach. It is
better to wait around 2 hours between the two. The apple is an
exception to this rule.
New blood cells are created every 14 days and chlorophyll juices can
make them stronger than they were before. This can cause the tree of
life (capillary) to be preserved. Dr. Garnet Cheney of the Stanford
School of Medicine proved cabbage juice (vitamin U) to heal ulcers by
checking closely with x-ray examinations.
Around 100 pounds of cooked cabbage is equivalent in nutrition to 1-2
pounds of raw cabbage. From this cabbage example, you can see how the
grocery bill can go way up just because fruits and vegatables are
cooked. For many people, this can be an excellent start to bring the
price of food under control with the decision made right in the
kitchen.
The requirement of health in every living cell is obtained partly from
the air we breath, the water we drink, and the food we eat. The rays
of the sun send billions of atoms into plant life and this force
changes inorganic substances into organic elements for food. Any part
of the food intake which has been deprived of its natural and normal
nutrients dilutes the food taken by the individual, and cuts down on
his luck to resist infections.
Except in the case of accidents, all repair and regeneration of our
body and skin must come from within.
It has been proven beyond a doubt that supplementing our meals with
raw vegetables and fruits, especially the raw juices, supply the
quickest and most permanent way to replenish the body with the
elements it lacks to look and feel better.
How much juice can be taken safely? As much as you can drink
comfortably without forcing yourself. One pint a day as a general rule
is the least amount that will have any results. Bear in mind that
juices can be a short cut to more energy and a healthier body and the
more juices you drink the better the results will be. A gallon or more
can be better yet.
The green of the plant (chlorophyll) is one of the strongest healing
substances for man.
ALFALFA:
The world has yet to learn the value of alfalfa other than it being
"just a food for livestock." Many farmers are dying with various
diseases caused by mineral deficiencies of unnatural and unbalanced
diets while all around them are FIELDS OF ALFALFA!
This plant has ten times the mineral value of various grains. At times
the roots go down as deep as one hundred feet and bring up rich, vital
minerals unattainable by other vegetation. It is a rich source of the
anti-hemorrhage vitamin, K. Other vitamins are A,E,B,D and U. Also
contains other nutrients such as potassium, chlorine, sodium, silicon,
magnesium, and other known and yet unknown elements.
Alfalfa may be eaten fresh in a combination juice, or chopped and
cooked with spinach or other greens It is been known to help in cases
of diabetes, tuberculosis, rheumatism, Brightens disease, toxemia,
jaundice, neuralgia, insomnia, nervousness, syphilis, constipation,
lumbago, hardening of the arteries, dropsy, prostatitis, anemia, skin
eruptions and poor complexion. Alfalfa is a blood builder; also good
for teeth and bones. It is a splendid milk producer for nursing
mothers, ALFALFA TEA: made from dried leaves and sweetened with honey
if desired, is not only a good drink and tonic but it increases the
action of the kidneys; aids peristalsis of the bowels; is a good sweat
producer when taken hot. It increases the appetite and strengthens
digestive glands and is particularly indicated for inflammation of the
bladder, colds, fevers (drink unsweetened), Alfalfa tea greatly aids
the elimination of various drug poisons from the body. When the tea
is needed, drink it freely (hot or cold) instead of water. This is
very powerful, so consider mixing with other vegatable juices (1/4
glass).
ALMONDS (and Almond Butter)
Known as a good all-around muscle and body builder, being one of the
most nourishing foods IF DIGESTION IS GOOD. For teeth and bones and
in cases of emaciation (use the butter) and for nursing mothers.
Almonds or the other nuts are not recommended in the presence of
inflammation or congestion of the liver. Known for muscle and body
builders.
Note: (Botanically, nuts are fruits from trees and peanuts are
legumes).
APPLES
Eat them naturally raw skin and all! They should be crushed and
crunched in the mouth to bring out their richest flavor! The apple is
known as a natural stimulation to all body secretions and is truly a
health-builder and disease killer. It is a food, beverage, tonic,
medicine, cosmetic and bowel regulator all in one! It has been said
that plenty of apples will not only keep the doctor away, but will
also keep the children at home and the husband in at night!
Apples are excellent body cleansers and blood purifiers and are known
in cases of constipation, sluggish liver, brain fag, dropsy (dried
apples), dyspepsia, gout, obesity, skin eruptions, headaches,
jaundice, poor teeth, indigestion, tender gums, pyorrhea, anemia,
tuberculosis, neuritis, insomnia, catarrh, gall stones, rheumatism,
worms, arthritis.
FRESH APPLE JUICE (sweet cider) is one of our most delicious drinks.
Indicated for disorders mentioned above.
APPLE TEA, sweetened with honey is a healthful drink for cleansing the
urinary tract and for cases of male and female diseases. Wash some
apples, slice them, leaving the peeling on. Dry slowly in a pan lined
with white paper, leaving the oven door open. When thoroughly dried,
close the oven door and roast them until a dark brown color is seen.
Store in dry place until needed and make by steeping as regular tea.
APRICOTS
This fruit is known to be high in iron and richer in minerals than
most fruits. Apricots are good body cleansers and are known for in
cases of anemia, constipation, tuberculosis, catarrh, asthma,
bronchitis, gall stones, pimples, diarrhea and toxemia.
ARTICHOKES
Known for a kidney stimulant, also in cases of anemia, acidity,
diarrhea, jaundice, rheumatism, dropsy, halitosis, glandular
disorders, and neuritis.
(Jerusalem)
Known in cases of constipation, biliousness, gas, jaundice, catarrh,
asthma, dropsy, and may be eaten by diabetics as a potato
substitute.
ASPARAGUS:
Eaten raw it is known for breaking up oxalic acid throughout the whole
muscular system. Good for rheumatism, neuritis, arthritis. A certain
amount may be safely eaten by those in good health - but it is to be
definitely avoided by any one with kidney or bladder trouble,
arthritis, goiter, hepatitis or rheumatism. Asparagus increases the
formation of uric acid and irritates and congests the kidneys. It also
contains methyl mercaptan, a toxic substance which irritates and gives
a foul odor to one's urine.
AVOCADOS:
A known food for body building and for weak stomachs and
convalescents. Also indicated in cases of malnutrition, stomach
ulcers, enteritis, colitis, hemorrhoids, constipation, nervousness,
insomnia and impotency. When mashed and mixed with a little cheese or
other foods, it makes a delicious sandwich filling. Rich in nutrients.
BANANAS:
A good general energy food, needed more by muscular workers than by
sedentary workers. Known to be valuable in cases of diarrhea, piles,
stomach ulcers and colitis. When real ripe, bananas are easily
digested and safe for children. Powdered bananas can be used in many
ways.
HUBBARD: These are more starchy and more nourishing than the above.
Known in cases of diarrhea, piles, colitis and stomach and bowel
ulcers.
BARLEY:
Known as a body builder and valuable in cases of underweight, stomach
ulcers, diarrhea and good for teeth, hair and nails. Barley water is
known for cases of fevers and helps bronical spasms.
BEANS:
FRESH STRING BEANS: Closely akin to the green leafy vegetables, though
more nourishing - a good general vegetable food, Known for
constipation, rheumatism, bladder and kidney trouble and acidosis.
KIDNEY AND NAVY BEANS: A rich, building food for muscular workers and
known to be valuable for a person who is anemic or under weight.
LIMA AND BUTTER BEANS: Very rich in iron and easily digested,
therefore a wonderful food for anemics. Also known in cases of
tuberculosis, piles, emaciation, malnutrition and for all-around body
building and muscular development.
SOY BEANS: This ancient food has many uses. It may be your soup, your
bread, your 'meat," your spread, your butter, cheese, coffee, sauce,
milk, sausage, crackers, cake, loaf, salad oil or nibblers. IT IS ONE
OF THE MOST NOURISHING AND BODY BUILDING FOODS and easily digested. It
prevents pellagra and scurvy and aids growth and development of
children, and it is helpful in cases of neurasthenia and brain-fog
because of its lecithin content.
BEETS:
BEET ROOTS: (red)
When shredded or ground and eaten straw with a lemon-honey dressing,
they are known to be valuable in cases of constipation, jaundice,
dysentery, pimples and other skin disorders , kidney and bladder
disorders, obesity, stones in urinary bladder, tuberculosis, lumbago,
anemia, nervousness. Sugar beets are known for constipation, liver
disorders, gout, low vitality, poor circulation, low blood pressure
and poor teeth. Food for red blood.
BEET TOPS: (red)
Richer than spinach in iron and other minerals. These good greens are
known to be valuable in cases of anemia, tuberculosis, constipation,
catarrh, arthritis, poor appetite, kidney and bladder disorders, bad
blood, dysentery, tumors, tonsillitis, dyspepsia, gout, pimples, low
vitality, nervousness, and good for teeth and bones. Excellent for
pregnant or nursing women and as an aid in eliminating irritating drug
poisons from the system.
BLACKBERRIES:
Known as a good blood cleanser and general tonic. Excellent cases
have been reported for constipation, catarrh, anemia, dysentery,
weakened kidneys, rheumatism, liver trouble, arthritis, pimples,
diarrhea, menstrual cramps, lumbago and poor complexion.
BLUEBERRIES:
A good blood purifier and an antiseptic. Known for anemia, food for
the eyes, constipation, poor complexion, dysentery, diarrhea, obesity
and menstruation disorders. During WW2, many pilots were fed
Blueberry jam to increase their night vision.
BRAZIL NUTS: (and Brazil Nut Butter)
Reported to be one of the most nourishing foods, though not digested
by all people, a general body-builder for muscular workers and good
for teeth, bones, malnutrition.
Note: (Botanically, nuts are fruits from trees and peanuts are
legumes).
BREADS:
Known as a general body-building food, good for teeth, bones, hair
and nails.
WHOLE RYE:
Known as a general body-building, though easier digested than wheat
breads. Needed for muscles, energy, teeth, hair and nails.
WHOLE WHEAT:
Known to contain many of the elements needed by the body for
nourishment. An energy food and needed for teeth, hair, bones and
nails. Most people eat too much bread and other starches, which
causes a great deal of their constipation, gas and sour stomachs.
Unless starches are chewed well and thereby mixed with the ptyalin in
saliva, digestion is not complete.
BREADFRUIT:
One of the most nourishing starchy foods of the South Seas, known as a
general body-building food, particularly indicated for muscular
workers. When mature on the tree breadfruit are about the size of
large grapefruit. They are generally boiled and eaten as one would eat
a boiled potato.
BROCCOLI:
Known to be a good tonic food and indicated for obesity, constipation,
weak digestive glands, toxemia, neuritis and high blood pressure.
BRUSSELS SPROUTS:
Known for for catarrh, obesity, acidosis, constipation and hardening
of the arteries. Also known for bleeding gums.
BUCKWHEAT:
Known as an energy food and general body builder - good for hair,
teeth and nails.
BUTTER:
Known for energy and weight-building - the best animal fat—easy to
digest, but must be eaten moderately. Butter and other fats are not
recommended if there is any liver or gall-bladder disorders.
BUTTER: (sweet)
Applied externally to burns have reported good results.
BUTTERMILK
A fine calcium food, known to be good for teeth and bones, muscle
builder, easily digested and ideal for invalids and convalescents. It
is known for cases of constipation, acidity, pimples, tuberculosis,
diarrhea, insomnia and helps destroy putrefactive bacteria in the
bowels.
CABBAGE
RED AND WHITE: For all who can digest it - eat it raw for best
results. The common cabbage is known as a good muscle builder and
blood cleanser and valuable for teeth, gums, hair, nails and bones.
Excellent cases have been reported for weak eyes, asthma,
tuberculosis, gout, scurvy, constipation, kidney and bladder
disorders, obesity, diabetes, toxemia, lumbago, skin eruptions. Juice
>from a juice extractor is known to help heal stomach ulcers providing
the juice is consumed immediately after it is made.
Approximately 100 pounds of boiled cabbage is nutritionally equivalent

See melons for medicinal values.

rank high in medicinal value. Known in cases of obesity, toxemia, poor
blood, constipation, asthma, poor complexion, poor teeth, pyorrhea,

kid- kidney and bladder, colitis, neuritis, catarrh, dropsy

CARROT:
(From Raw Crushed Carrots): Its is reported to be a soothing, healing
action to ulceration's, inflammations and malignancies of the
digestive tract, its ease of digestion, plus its high alkaline mineral
content, make it valuable in many cases. Carrot juice is indicated in
cases of acidosis, sore throat, gastritis, stomach ulcers, colitis,
colon ulcers, bad blood, asthma, appendicitis, kidney and bladder
disorders, gout, neuralgia, nervousness, poor complexion, skin
eruptions, rheumatism, arthritis, insomnia, gall stones, high blood
pressure, diabetes, cancer, and as an aid in eliminating old
accumulated drug poisons from the body. When added to milk for babies
it is a good preventive of rickets, bow-legs, bad teeth.
CARROT JUICE:
According to the condition of the individual, raw carrot juice may be
taken indefinitely in any reasonable quantities, from one to six or
eight pints a day. It has been known to normalize the entire system.
It is the richest source of Vitamin A which the body can quickly
assimilate. It helps to promote the appetite and is an aid to
digestion. It is also a valuable aid in the improvement and
maintenance of the bone structure of the teeth.
Nursing mothers should drink plenty of raw carrot juice, to enhance
the quality of their milk, as a breast milk diet may under certain
circumstances not provide sufficient vital foods. During the last
months of pregnancy, raw carrot juice, taken in sufficient quantities,
tends to reduce the possibilities of puerperal sepsis at childbirth.
Raw carrot juice is reported to be a natural solvent for ulcerous and
cancerous conditions. It is a resistant to infections, doing most
efficient work in conjunction with the adrenal glands. It prevents
infections of eyes and of the throat, as well as of the tonsils and
sinuses and the respiratory organs generally. It also protects the
nervous system and is unequaled for increasing vigor and vitality.
Intestinal and liver diseases are sometimes due to a lack of certain
of the elements contained in prepared raw carrot juice. When this is
the case then a noticeable cleaning up of the liver will take place
and the material which was clogging it up will be found to dissolve.
Frequently this is released so copiously that the intestinal and
urinary channels are inadequate to care for this overflow and in a
perfectly natural manner it is passed into the lymph for elimination
>from the body by means of the pores of the skin. This material has a
distinctly orange or yellow pigment and while it is being so
eliminated from the body will sometimes discolor the skin. Whenever
such a discoloration takes place after drinking carrot or other juices
it is an indication that the liver is getting a well needed cleansing
(Nothing to worry about).
It is NOT the carrot juice itself that comes through the skin. To
facilitate the description of the juices most efficient for the
following ailments and their various combinations have been listed and
the number of ounces of juice indicated for each ailment.
For adults the formula combinations should be taken over a period of
several weeks in order to obtain any perceptible results.
The juices for each ailment are given in the order of their greatest
efficacy, those which are essential being indicated When possible, at
least one pint of the Combination should be taken daily.
Please remember that by combining one or more different juices changes
the chemical combination of each one completely, so that the effect of
the combination as a whole will be entirely different from that of
each juice if taken separately, therefore we are able to get results
that seem unbelievable to those who lack this experience.
NOTE: Use Tops AND Roots of Beets, Dandelion, Radish and Turnips. When
preparing Carrots cut off the tops one-half inch below the rings where
the green stems start. Do not peel carrots.
To remove sprays, etc., wash vegetables thoroughly with cold, running
water, using a stiff brush when necessary.

The "grape cure," whereby only grapes or grape juice are taken for
several days or weeks, is very beneficial as an aid in overcoming many
chronic diseases. Fresh grape juice is truly a "nectar for the gods."
The grape is probably the oldest domestic fruit we have. The fruit and
the wine made from it are frequently mentioned in writings reaching
back to the dawn of history. Apples are mentioned in the Old
Testament, but there is no certainty that the word which King James
experts translated as 'apple' meant an apple as we know it. "The grape
has a very high value to the body as food and medicine. It is mildly
laxative, diuretic, and like all other fruits, anti-scorbutic. It
contains one of the four beneficent fruit acids so useful to the body.
These acids in the process of digestion release potassium, sodium, and
magnesium, which are changed into carbonates and overcome by their
alkalinity the acids in the blood.
The average grape contains nearly 80 per cent water (pure-distilled)
and about 13 per percent sugar; and many scientists agree that grape
sugar is one of the easiest of all fruit sugars to digest and
assimilate.
"The grape contains (organic) iron, which helps to build up the red
corpuscles of the blood."
Few people realize peaches rank next to oranges and grapes as food for
man. In appearance there is no fruit more attractive and beautiful

inviting to the taste than a juicy, luscious peach. The main objection
against peaches is, that when ripe they will not keep like oranges and
grapes.
