The Living Foods Lifestyle is based on one important principle - Life! Life comes from life.
Raw food * The life of our body is determine by the lives of our individual cells.Healthy cells make a healthy
body, lively cells make a lively body
* How do we cultivate healthy cells? The principle can be summarized by the "Life and Death
Equation", namely:
"Better Health" equals "Life In" plus "Death Out".
In other words: Better Health is the result of putting more Life (Living Nourishment) Into the body and
taking Death (Toxic Sludge) Out of the body.
* What does it mean to put Life Into the body? This means that we provide Living Nourishment to
our cells. What is Living Nourishment? Simply speaking, it is readily digestible food that hasn't been
killed (cooked). Thus we advocate good food served and eaten raw - like crisp colorful salads and
fresh ripe fruits and their juices. Sound appetizing? Yumm
Then what about raw chickens and raw pigs - complete with feathers, hair, bones, and blood? Probably
not so appetizing. [Unappetizing for us, perhaps, but not for true animals of prey - true carnivores -
with fangs and claws and industrial-strength digestive juices. For such predators these prey would
constitute Live Nourishment!]
But what about dairy - milk: "nature's most perfect food"? Well, if it's pasteurized: cooked, dead) even
a calf can't survive on it. But even in the live, uncooked state - cow's milk and mother's milk are quite
different - in fact - they are about as different from each other as calves are from infants! Obviously,
one is ideal for baby cows and the other is ideal for baby humans.
"Yes", you might say, "but does every food I eat have to be ideal for me?" Valid question... Straight
answer: "Well, no, not really." But, then again, remember that every choice we make has its
consequences. Now, certainly it is true that most of us can eat almost anything that we like - and not
experience any seriously harmful effects (at least up to age fifty or so). But, on the other hand - if we
knew that making certain diet modifications could enable us to live healthy and youthful lives - free
from drugs and surgery - well into our eighties, nineties, and beyond - wouldn't it be worth considering
such modifications?
The Living Foods program advocates a variety of fruits, vegetables, and sprouted seeds - processed in
various specific ways - blended, fermented, dehydrated, or juiced - but not cooked. Furthermore, we
recommend the use of wheatgrass juice (the juice extracted from wheat in its grass form) as one of the
most potent forms of cleansing nourishment on the planet. All animals instinctively seek out the
healing power of grasses - even domestic pets!
* What does it mean to get Death Out of the body? This means that we seek to make our bodies
pollution-free. Any dead and/or toxic substances in the body should be detected, neutralized, and
eliminated - pronto. This requires that the body's organs of purification be operating at peak efficiency
- in particular, the circulatory, lymphatic, and immune systems, the lungs, sweat glands, liver, kidneys,
and... last but not least, the colon.
"Ugh, do we have to talk about the colon?" Fairly common question. Unflinching answer: "Yes we
do." In fact, of all the organs in the body, perhaps the most important is the colon. Let's face it. When
the colon slows down, we get polluted and sick, and none of our other organs, especially the brain, can
work very well. If the colon stops working completely - or God forbid, ruptures - we get dead - very
quickly. Think of it as analogous to the sewer pipe from your house. When that clogs up - even
partially - you know that you have a serious problem. Right?? Right.
So that's why we advocate colon cleansing - enemas - colonic irrigations. Fun? No. Effective in
alleviating health problems? Definitely. Now, granted, we never want to become dependent on enemas
(there is no substitute for adequate dietary fiber) but when the job needs to be done, we say "Do it."
One more thing - almost nobody thinks that his or her colon is clogged. Actually, there are various
degrees of being clogged. Consider this: If my health is less than perfect, and /or I've been eating
mostly cooked (read: clogging) food all my life, it's a pretty good bet that my colon has seen better
days and my health and quality of life might really improve if I did some internal housecleaning.
Anyway, what have I got to lose? (And wouldn't I be better off if I lost all of it?!)

Is cooked food good for us?
In nature all animals eat living foods as yielded up by Nature. Only humans cook their foods and only
humans suffer widespread sicknesses and ailments. Those humans who eat mostly living foods are
more alert, think clearer,sharper and more logically and become more active. Best of all, people who
eat living food become virtually sickness-free!
Cooking is a process of food destruction from the moment heat is applied to the foodstuff. Long before
dry ashes results, food values are totally destroyed.
If you put your hand just for a moment into boiling water or on a hot stove, that should forever
persuade you just how destructive heat is. Food is usually subjected to these destructive temperatures
for perhaps half an hour or more. What was living substance becomes totally dead very rapidly with
exposure to heat!
Cooking renders food toxic! The toxicity of the deranged debris of cooking is confirmed by the
doubling and tripling of white blood cells after eating a cooked food meal. The white blood cells are
the first line of defense and are, collectively, popularly called "the immune system."
As confirmed by hundreds of researches cited in the prestigious National Academy of Science National
Research Council book, "Diet, Nutrition and Cancer," all cooking quickly generates mutagens and
carcinogens in foods.
Proteins begin coagulating and deaminating at temperatures commonly applied in cooking, and are
devoid of nutritive value.
Vitamins are rather quickly destroyed by cooking.
Minerals quickly lose their organic context and are returned to their native state as they occur in soil,
sea water and rocks, metals and so on. In such a state they are unusable and the body often shunts them
aside where they may combine with saturated fats and cholesterol in the circulatory system, thus
clogging it up with cement-like plaque.
Heated fats are especially damaging because they are altered to form acroleins, free radicals and other
mutagens and carcinogens as confirmed in, "Diet, Nutrition and Cancer."
Thus you can see that cooked foods make dull, diseased and sooner dead people.
