UNDERSTANDING HEALTH AND DISEASE-1

Report on an exciting experiment done on 3 distinct groups of Rats.

Rats fairly accurately reflect the dietary effects as in humans as they will eat anything people will.

1st group fed natural, raw food diet of fruit, veggies, nuts, seeds etc.

2nd group fed SAD diet (Standard American Diet)

3rd group—we’ll discuss later.

1st group rats grew into healthy specimens and never suffered any diseases. They grew rapidly but never got fat, their temperament was gentle, affectionate, playful and the lived together happily. They mated with enthusiasm and produced healthy offspring.

At what would be equivalent in humans of 80 years old, they were sacrificed and autopsied and found to be entirely free from aging, disease or degeneration in any organ or tissue.

2nd group—fed white bread, cooked food, meat, cakes, candy, soft drinks, vitamins and medicines for their ailments—etc.

During their life became fat—from earliest age contracted colds, pneumonia, arthritis, diabetes, heart disease, cancer and most common American health problems. Most died prematurely at early ages. Their temperament was vicious, fighting with one-another, stealing one-another's food, they had to be kept separated to prevent destruction of the entire group!

Offspring were all sick and exhibited the same general characteristics of the parents. As these rats died one by one or in epidemics or of vicious diseases, they were autopsied and showed extensive degenerative disorders in every part of their bodies. The few who survived until the end of the study were physical and nervous wrecks and when autopsied showed disease all through their bodies.

Group 3 was fed the SAD diet until the equivalent age of 40 and showed the same problems, and characteristics as group 2—but then they were put on a water fast for a few days, then changed to the natural, raw diet of group 1, alternating with short fasts for 1 month. They exciting thing is that after 1 month they never suffered any more illness.  Their temperament became gently, playful, friendly creatures that lived together in harmony.

Rats sacrificed and autopsied at the end of first part of program showed same degeneration and disease as group 2. But when the rest lived out their lives and were autopsied at end of 80 years equivalency—they showed no sign of aging, disease or degeneration. The disease evident in 1st part of their lives was reversed and perfect health restored!

Good News!—It’s not too late! We can change our diet and our ways & disease can be eliminated!

UNDERSTANDING HEALTH AND DISEASE

Since 1900 man has gained more knowledge in the area of health and disease than all of history combined.  He has spent more money on medical research than all of history combined!  America has the finest health care facilities of any nation on earth.  The Doctor-patient ratio in the USA is 1 doctor to each 8 patients.  This is the best of anywhere in the world.  The hospital industry is the 5th largest industry and I believe that the pharmaceutical industry is  either first or nearly so.  In spite of this, America is in the worse epidemic of chronic degenerative disease in  history!  Cancer, heart disease, arthritis, diabetes, etc. are rampant.

In recent years there have been 4 medical doctor’s strikes.  That is where the doctors didn’t show up at office or hospital to work.  In each city where this took place the death rate dropped 40-60% !! Something is clearly wrong!

A patient goes to a doctor—“here are my symptoms”

Doctors says, “fine, lets go to the hospital”.  Five days and $5,000 later the test results are back.  The doctor lines up the test results and the symptoms and comes up with the name of the disease—and the patient breaths a sigh of relief. Why? Because he believes if the doctor can name the disease, he must know how to treat it.   However in medical school something is very disturbing to discerning students—95%  of the diseases known today, the text books say “cause unknown”!  How can we treat something if we don’t know what caused it?

Yet the doctor will open his medical bible and look up that disease and across the page he will see the treatment of the day, drug, therapy or surgery.  How can he treat something if he doesn’t know what causes it?

If you call your doctor and you have a headache and he says take aspirin and you take it and your headache goes away.  What does that tell you?  Was it caused by an aspirin deficiency?  Think about it?

Are ear infections in children caused by a drainage tube deficiency?  The body forgot to put a hole in the eardrum so the doctor comes along and puts an extra tube in there.  Do you know that those little bodies will kick out as many as 12 pair of tubes?  And the doctor keeps putting them back—you'd think that maybe some doctor would go to bed and think maybe, just maybe—the body doesn’t want it in there!

What about heart disease—is it a lack of bypass surgery?  The body is too stupid, it put those veins in your legs instead of your heart!  So almighty doctor comes along and moves them.

We now have an alternate cause of heart disease—an artificial heart deficiency.

When we take a look at many of the so called natural healing arts we can be even more confused.  Are we sick because of an acupuncture deficiency?  You see most “natural therapists” are operating on the same principle as the medical doctors—symptomatic relief—without the patient having to change what they are doing wrong that caused the problem.

There is a law of cause and effect. If we violate a law of this body, there is a price to be paid.  We cannot get away with it. It’s like a drunk saying “Give me a pill to get me sober but let me keep on drinking.” That’s the current trend and we like it that way!  We like to go to the doctor and say, “Here are my health problems—you take care of them.”

Remember two things-  Everyone has a different opinion.  You can always find someone who’ll tell you whatever it is you want to hear.

If you want to believe there is no such thing as junk-food, the president of the AMA would be glad to tell you that—or you could go down the road and find someone who will tell you that all you need to eat is fruit.

Everybody has a different opinion—why?

Because the laws that govern this universe don’t always pay right now—The consequences are not always felt immediately.  Sometimes it takes a lifetime or even 2-3 generations.  So we feel; “I got away with it—it must work.”

Eccl.8.11-Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.

TWO REASONS WE ARE SICK:

1- Ignorance.  I just didn’t know about it. The law of gravity—does it wait for you to know about it?  If you step off a 20 story building, you are going to create a gooey mess down below whether you know about it or not!

2- We are lazy.  It is one thing to know and another to act on what we know.

Remember that every theory in history, right or wrong, has had its authority.  Don’t take my word for anything, test it out and find out if it works!  You are responsible for your own state of health!!

INNATE INTELLIGENCE

That first cell at conception is given innate intelligence—a life force from the Creator that will direct growth and development of that cell into a perfect human being.  And it does it the same way every time—and it does it without a doctor standing over it and telling it how.

In fact it is only when man interferes that we have problems.  Moms have morning sickness so doctor gives her a drug—we’ve all heard of the thalidomide tragedy.

When the baby leaves the womb, this innate intelligence does not stay behind.  It continues to lead and direct this body. The body is not designed to get sick—it doesn’t know how!  It only knows health—but—we interfere with it.

A friend called me up and said,  “My dog is sick.  He won’t eat—he has a fever.  What should I do?”

“Don’t worry about it.  All dogs are made with an instinct that tells them what to do when they have a fever—they know they are supposed to go to the vet so before long, he’ll ask you for the car keys.  Just let him have them.”

No! the dog’s body tells him how to overcome the problem—running a fever, fasting, resting.  Just put down some water and let him fast.  Call back on the 8th day and see if he did not lay there 7 days and on the 8th be fine and begging for food.

Innate intelligence operates in a definite cycle—no guesswork!  We only have guesswork when we interfere.

Innate intelligence strives to keep the body alive regardless of cost.  This cost can be disease.  This will mean more as we study further.

JUNK FOOD VS. REAL FOOD

What makes the difference between ‘Junk-Food’ (Edible Garbage) and real food?

The difference is what goes on in the cells of the body when we eat it.   What is food? Why do we eat ?  To get what our body needs:

1st -  Glucose This is the fuel our body runs on and our main reason for eating.

2nd - Protein  This is for body building and maintaining structure.

3rd-  Fatty-acids—essential oils  These are used in building, hormones, and transport in the body.

4th-  Minerals  These are used as catalysts in chemical reactions—they make the body function more effectively.

5th-  Vitamins  We do not live on vitamins and minerals—so taking a vitamin pill in place of a meal is a pretty useless activity. However, vitamins are needed to process our food into useable forms.

6th-  Water    Every process in the body requires water.

A real food, compatible with the body, contains all 6 factors. Everything the body needs to process it and put it to work.  There is also nothing in it to take away from life or hurt the body.

3 QUALIFICATIONS OF A REAL FOOD

1- Grown by nature.

This leaves a wide field- Bananas at one end of the scale and belladonna at the other.  What happens if you eat belladonna?  You die! So qualification #2

2- It can be picked and eaten  without any processing.  Well you can pick and eat belladonna.

3-  You can eat a whole meal of it and enjoy it, with no toxic side effects.

Junk foods do not measure up to this.  (neither does belladonna)

Let’s compare a carrot and a Twinkie—

There are 40 nutrients in whole wheat bread—when refined to white—0 to 1 or 2.  Then they added a few artificial vitamins and called it enriched!  It should be called depleted!

If a robber took all your money and then gave you a bus ticket home, would you feel enriched??

Now lets get back to our Twinkie—It had glucose in it right?  Now how does the glucose get used by the body? It can’t be used just as it is—No! It has to go through a cycle of 10 steps to be converted  into ATP which is the usable energy for our body. This process is called the citric acid cycle or cycle of Krebbs.  Each step requires a catalyst of some mineral or vitamin. Protein goes through a similar process.

Now our carrot comes with all these catalysts and so is a real food.

But what about the Twinkie?    Most food eaten on an American diet is deficient. How does the body use it? And it does use it.  It draws on our reserves!

Now reserves are designed by the body to be used only in emergencies.  Baby toddles into the swimming pool—mama doesn't have time to eat a carrot!  No,  adrenaline flows and the liver pours out glucose and mama runs and rescues baby.

So now the body has glucose to process and no catalyst—so it looks over at the bones and tissues and begins to draw on reserve supply and uses it to process the junk food and keep the body alive.  Remember, innate intelligence will keep the body alive regardless of cost.  The cost is disease!

TOXINS AND STIMULANTS

What is a toxin?  Something the body is not designed to run on.  If we put diesel fuel in a gas engine- it will run for a while but will soon clog up and quit.

Our body can get away with, for a while, running on fuel its not designed to run on—but it begins to slow down and get diseased.  We call it aging and we think it normal- It is common—but it is not normal!

There are peoples—well documented in the world—that live to 100-120 or more and are active and working right up to a few days before death.  These poor people do not have all the wonderful refined and processed foods we have! They live on the right fuel—we don’t!

No—that coffee won’t kill you today—but it is the long run that counts.  It will kill you eventually.

All toxins are stimulants.  What gets the body revving up the metabolism when we put in a toxin?  It is trying to get it out of the system before it kills you!

There is enough caffeine in 1 cup of coffee (120 mg.) to kill you if injected directly into the blood stream!

Why doesn’t it kill you?  Where does the energy come from when you drink coffee?  Don’t say caffeine—because our only source of energy is glucose.  There is no glucose in black coffee.  Where is the energy coming from? And why doesn’t the coffee kill you ?  When it hits the stomach the body senses it is about to be poisoned.  So it contacts the adrenals—adrenaline pours out and tells the liver to pour out glucose so the cells speed up to get the poison out of our bloodstream and save our life—one more time.

During this process- we feel great!  But what is the cost?  Did the coffee  supply the glucose or the catalyst? NO! Those came out of our reserves, and so at the cost  of feeling good- we get sicker!  After a while 1 cup is not enough and we need 2.

If a cell is healthy it will make 100 units of energy while we sleep.  During the day we use up this energy and by evening we are drowsy and go to bed.

But—if after years of abuse the cell is only able to make 50 units of energy—Do you cut down your activities by 50%—no. Then how do we get through the day?—We run on adrenaline the rest of the day.  Stimulation gets less and less effective requiring more and more stimulation, until finally the body doesn’t cover for us any more and we think we just fell apart—but it was coming on for years of abuse.

People can be eating junk food for years and go to the doctor—perfect health. Until—the adrenal, thyroid, and thymus glands can’t compensate any more and “suddenly” everything falls apart.

Ever get sleepy after a big meal?  Why?

Your sick body says, “I can’t keep you awake and still have enough energy to process this big meal.” So we learn the American desert habit—Coffee and a cigarette! and whip up those adrenals to keep you awake.

If you truly want to know how healthy you are—eat only raw fruits and vegetables for a couple of days and see if you can even get out of bed!  Then you’ll know how much adrenaline you are running on.

Some people run on several pots of coffee a day—they seem healthy but the day will come and they pay the price.  While we are revved up we think we are feeling good but in the mean time we are getting sicker and sicker!
