Proper Nutrition- Eating Gods Foods for A Healthy Body

Genesis 1:29 Then God said, I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the
whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food.
Genesis 2:9 "Out of the ground made the Lord God to grow every tree that is...good
for food."
Our lives have gotten too complex and so have the foods we eat. Selecting
healthy foods for everyday eating does not need to be difficult. You already have an
eating style that you developed without much conscious effort. You can modify the
way you eat without completely disrupting you life. What you need is a desire to be
healthier and an awareness of the nutritional value of the foods you eat. Gradual
modification is the key to developing a healthy eating lifestyle. Give the internal
value of food as much consideration as the exterior presentation. Evaluate the
quality of the food on a nutritional level. A hot fudge sundae may look more
appealing than a plate of broccoli but their nutritional values to the body are at
opposite ends of the spectrum.
We really are meant to eat foods as God created them. Sadly, most people are
on a diet comprised almost totally of the wrong building materials. We call it The
Standard American Diet, a DEAD food diet that is loaded with toxins. Thus, physical
breakdown (pinging and knocking) progressively gets louder as they go through
LIFE! Maybe it's a little high blood pressure or high triglycerides here. Maybe it's
high cholesterol there. Maybe it's a little arthritis or bursitis. Maybe it's
hypoglycemia, or acne, or dandruff, or, or, or...! These physical breakdowns are
almost always the result of placing the wrong fuel into our bodies, a predominantly
DEAD food diet, loaded with toxins. Almost every physical problem we experience
during our entire lifetime, other than accidents of course, is caused by our
attempting to nourish our beautiful, God made physical bodies with the wrong fuel.
When we change the fuel from the basically DEAD, Standard American Diet of
this world, to the LIVING plant and WHOLE food based diet with which God designed
our physical bodies to be nourished, the body will almost always correct a physical
problem! The pinging and knocking will cease, as the body literally rebuilds itself
and heals itself, just as God designed.
The more refined or processed a food is, the less it resembles the original food,
the more original nutrients are lost, and the longer the ingredient list on the food
label becomes. Some nutrients that are destroyed in the refining and processing of
foods may be added back, but since we don't know all the nutritional compounds in
a food, they cannot all be added back! Most refined grain products add thiamin,
riboflavin, niacin, and iron back in, but other vitamins, mineral, and phytochemicals
are lost. This is why it is best to only eat those foods in their original form and
unprocessed. Research shows that whole foods rich in natural vitamins, minerals,
antioxidants, phytochemicals, proteins, and fats are what make our body, and

especially our brain, function as it should. Manufactured, fast, and snack foods do
not!
Proper nutrition is vital to good health. Vegetables and fruits should be making
up the greater proportion of our meals, along with whole grains, beans, legumes,
and seeds. Nuts can be included in small amounts. Consciously choose whole
natural foods and begin to eliminate the processed foods with long lists of
ingredients. Reading food labels is essential. Beware of hydrogenated fats, sugars
and high fructose corn syrup, sucrose, maltrose, dextrose, hydrolyzed starch,
nitrates and food colorings. Chemicals are added to processed foods to improve
shelf life, storage time, flavor, nutritional value, and attractiveness and to make
food more convenient and easier to prepare. Various food additives have been
implicated in increasing the risks of allergies, asthma, behavioral changes, impaired
immune function, and cancer- just to name a few. The more ingredients listed on a
label, the more risk you are taking by eating it. When reading food labels
remember:
If it is hard to pronounce, it is probably artificial!
The first step to better health is to become aware of what you and your family
are currently eating. Begin to choose more local produce (organic if possible) and
shop at grocery stores that carry whole natural foods. Try to avoid as much
processed foods, GMO (Genetically Modified) foods, and food additives as possible.
A good rule of thumb is try to eat 85% good whole foods everyday which consists of
as much raw fresh, fruits and vegetables you can possibly eat. The other 15%
leave that as your area for improvement. Some days you may need to eat that
piece of birthday cake at a friend's party or an ice cream cone on a hot day with
your children. Leave a little room for forgiveness and it will make sticking with a
healthy lifestyle a lot more manageable. Just keep in mind, the more raw, fresh
vegetables you eat, the healthier your body will become. Refer to appendix A for a
proper diet outline for your particular blood type.
It may seem that this next remark is against all that you have been taught buttry to do as little cooking as possible. Yes---this is true. Since cooking involves
altering the nutrient characteristics of foods through the action of heat or dissolving
effect of water, it is wise to eat uncooked, raw food whenever possible. There are
however, some truly excellent foods that can't be eaten raw; beans and lentils come
to mind unless they are sprouted. These are nutrition powerhouses, inexpensive,
and rich enough in high-quality protein to make a good meat alternative. But they
are all but indigestible unless cooked. Fish may be cooked lightly and of course
your breads and whole grain pastas are cooked foods. Heat can destroy many
nutrients, notably some water-soluble vitamins, many antioxidants, and unsaturated
fats, including omega-3s. The beneficial effects of dietary fibers, both insoluble and
soluble, may be altered, and at times reduced, by cooking. Certain foods however,
must be cooked in order to digest them properly or protect our system from

bacterial or parasite invasion. Balanced nutrition demands that you follow a series
of dietary rules. Primitive humans followed them naturally without realizing they
were rules for healthy living. Here are some good eating habits to follow:
A. Eat an optimum amount of vegetable protein, minimal animal protein. Protein is
essential for several bodily functions. In fact, it accounts for 20% of our body weight
and helps us synthesize enzymes, hormones and important cellular structures. It
also helps us with fluid balance and with building antibodies that guard against
infection. Without enough protein we wouldnt survive.
Protein also helps us feel full after a meal. People who dont eat enough protein may
actually eat more
food and still have an appetite afterward. An over- consumption of animal protein
however, leads to many health related illnesses such as heart disease. The paradox
of protein is that it is not only essential but also potentially health destroying.
Adequate amounts are vital to keeping your cells healthy; but over consumption of
excess animal proteins congests your cells and forces the pH of your life-sustaining
fluids down to cell-stifling, disease-producing levels. Cells overburdened with
protein become toxic. The US Department of Agriculture recommends that all men
and women over the age of 19 should get at least 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram
of body weight per day (or 0.37 grams per pound). That means a woman who is 130
pounds should get at least 48 grams of protein. One cup of chopped broccoli has
2.57 grams of protein. This means by eating that amount men get about 5 percent
of their recommended daily intake , while women get about 6 percent of what they
should consume daily. The best part about getting protein from broccoli is that you
also get fiber and nutrients, but no fat and few calories. Some other good sources
of protein are chia seeds, green peas and rice and beans.
B. Eat an optimum amount of fat (lipids). Good fats build structure in the sheaths of
nerves; they participate in most body functions; they store energy. Each fat gram
contains nine calories of energy compared to four calories for protein and four
calories for carbohydrate. There are two types of essential fatty acids (EFA's):
Omega-3 and omega-6. Omega-3 fatty acids are highly reactive. They are needed
for growth, prevention of dry and flaking skin, integrity of cell membranes and many
metabolic roles. Fish oils are a very good source. Omega-6 EFAs play an equally
important role in maintaining health. One of the best sources of omega-6 is linseed
oil made from flaxseed.
C. Eat an optimum amount of unprocessed carbohydrates. These should be mainly
from fresh vegetables and fruits and less from the brown rice, wheat and potatoes.
All natural, unrefined or unprocessed carbohydrates are surrounded by and mixed
with protein, fat, vitamins and minerals. Naturally occurring carbohydrates are good
foods, unlike processed carbohydrates such as starch. The more starch is refined,
the more toxic it becomes to the body. Processed carbohydrates present a different

situation. These include all the food products rich in added sugar or prepared in a
way that has dissipated a large portion of essential nutrients. Processed
carbohydrates consist of such foods as polished rice, white flour and a variety of
substances made from them such as pretzels, pastries and pastas. Excessive
consumption of refined or processed carbohydrates is the major cause of a broad
group of neuroses and a great number of physical illnesses.
Additional rules of thumb for good eating habits:
D Avoid caffeine and sugar. Sugar is not good for the stomach, because it causes
fermentation. Milk and sugar clog the system, irritate the digestive organs, and
affect the brain. Sugar, when over used, is more injurious than meat. Caffeine
promotes stress. Coffee is the most popular caffeine product followed by soda and
energy drinks. Undesirable effects from the stimulating properties of caffeine
include: elevated heart rate, irregular heartbeat, increased blood pressure, frequent
urination, increased gastric acid secretion (which contributes to indigestion,
gastritis, and ulcers), nervousness, irritability, insomnia, loss of appetite, nausea,
and diarrhea.
E. Eat raw vegetable salads or raw fruits before the main course. This will stimulate
and assist digestion, and help avoid overeating cooked foods. Sometimes eating
them together causes abdominal pain or indigestion. If you are prone to digestion
issues you may be better off eating fruits at one meal and vegetables at another.
F. Get your fiber. Without fiber, waste gets blocked and it takes longer for foods to
pass through the colon. If your diet contains animal fats, they greatly increase the
blockage because animal fats are solid at body temperature. They clog up your
intestines just as grease clogs up drains. The longer food takes to pass through, the
more opportunity for the bowel walls to reabsorb the toxins the body is trying to
eliminate.
G. Eat a variety of foods. Don't continually eat the same foods day after day. Let
your diet contain a variety of fresh vegetables and fruits, herbs, beans, legumes and
grains. Each food offers a different variety of essential vitamins and minerals that
your body needs. Within a day's time, however, do not over tax your systems with
too many varieties of foods. Correct food choices are important for proper
digestion, utilization and assimilation of nutrients.
H. Eat slowly and do not over eat. Overeating slows and clogs your entire system
and leads to toxic build up. Eat just enough to feel content with out feeling overfilled. Take time to eat and to enjoy mealtimes. Avoid eating compulsively or when
emotionally upset, in pain, or overtired. Chew your food until the food in your mouth
becomes liquid. Chewing breaks your food down from large particles into smaller
particles that are more easily digested. This also makes it easier for your intestines
to absorb nutrients and energy from the food particles as they pass through, while

also preventing improperly digested food from entering your blood and causing a
wide range of adverse effects to your health.
I. Reduce the fats, oils, salt, and sugars in the diet and avoid consuming too many
high cholesterol foods such as eggs, cheese, butter, and meats. All animal foods
contain cholesterol, and that includes chicken and fish.
Quick list of foods to avoid

Refined sugars & sugar-ladened foods

Caffeinated beverages

Bleached and enriched flour products

Grease and fat

Excess of animal foods

Pasteurized dairy products and excess of dairy

Iodized salt & excess salt.

Liquor, drugs, tobacco

A great lesson that God gives us in the Bible is in the story of Daniel. Daniel
1:12-16 12Please test your servants for ten days, and let them give us vegetables
to eat and water to drink. 13Then let our appearance be examined before you, and
the appearance of the young men who eat the portion of the kings delicacies; and
as you see fit, so deal with your servants. 14So he consented with them in this
matter, and tested them ten days. 15 And at the end of ten days their features
appeared better and fatter in flesh than all the young men who ate the portion of
the kings delicacies. 16 Thus the steward took away their portion of delicacies and
the wine that they were to drink, and gave them vegetables.
Why do you think God choose this story to put into the Bible? The only benefit
was to show us that eating the right foods (vegetables), brings about better health
than eating rich foods (meats, sweets, heavy breads, alcohol) basically the standard
American diet.
Make The Switch
Certain foods we become accustomed to eating through habits. Other foods like
those high in sugar or MSG our body craves through addiction. In either case you
need to find a better choice to replace any foods you are currently eating that may
be harmful to your health. Some examples of better choices include unsweetened
organic almond, rice or soy milk instead of pasteurized cows milk. Whole grain and

unbleached breads and flours instead of white flour products. Xylitol, stevia,
agave, or raw honey should be used instead of processed sugar and artificial
sweeteners. Use of excess oils and fats simply need to be reduced to a minimum.
Healthy fats to use are coconut oil and ghee instead of vegetable oils and
margarine. Very little salt is needed on anything, but when you do need it
Himalayan pink salt should be the choice. Animal products should be kept to a
minimum because they are very hard on the body to digest. Things that need to be
completely eliminated from your lifestyle are carbonated beverages, energy drinks,
tobacco, alcohol, and drugs.
An over use of caffeine is a predominant problem for many people today.
Drinking coffee, soda and energy drinks are a bad habit to break away from. Many
like the rush of adrenaline it gives them. In many cases, we just keep drinking
whether we want to or not-- because we are addicted. Any habit becomes
comfortable after a while. Caffeine addiction actually starts to play an important
role in our daily lives. We find comfort in having our coffee, soda, or energy drinks
at the same time and in the same place day after day. This ritual becomes a normal
part of every day.
Before we can break away completely, we must have a replacement lined up to fill
the inevitable void.
I have found the act of juicing or making a smoothie in the morning instead of
making coffee an easy switch-over. The fresh fruit and vegetables energize the
system and give a greater morning boost than coffee or soda. The habit of heading
to the kitchen and making something to drink can then still be a part of my morning
routine but a much healthier way to start the day. If you want something hot there
are a variety of herbal teas that will give you a healthy lift and allow you to go
through the motions of having your hot beverage on time each day.
Other individuals can replace their daily caffeine regimen with an exercise
program. Physical exercise like walking or stretching elevates the heart rate and
releases adrenaline and endorphins into the blood stream. Adding a little exercise to
your day at the time when you previously relied on a dose of caffeine is a very
progressive, healthy replacement measure.
If you are having a difficult time switching to a healthier caffeine-free beverage,
make sure there are no emotional or psychological reasons behind your use of
caffeine. If you have consumed caffeine beverages for years- you will go through a
withdrawal and experience headaches and probably be a bit irritable. Do not be
discouraged. This is just the physical reaction to cleaning out your system and will
pass in a few days. Psychological issues are harder to deal with and you must come
before God and ask Him to show you where the problem lies. In order to quit a
habit successfully you need to be fully aware of what you are thinking and feeling

when you miss your caffeine. Food, beverages or drugs of any kind should never
serve as idols.
If you are struggling, write in your journal how you are feeling and pray for strength.
Accept the fact that you need to occupy your mind and your time with new, healthy
activities to improve your chances of successfully quitting caffeine or any other bad
habits for good.

ABC regiment to build your immune system and regain your health
STEP 1- Get your body Alkaline immediately
Disease thrives in an acid medium, and dies in an alkaline medium. If you are being
treated for cancer, you most likely have an acidic body. Test your urine with pH
strips available on-line or at some local pharmacies. Test it every morning for a
week and average the readings out to get a baseline.
Take these measures to reduce the acid level in your system immediately.
A. To build an alkaline body very quickly, add sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) to
the water you are drinking. I suggest you get your baking soda from the health food
store so you can be sure it will contain no additional chemicals. The best water is
mineral water, add 1 level tbsp. of baking soda per gallon to your water. Drink an 8
oz glass THREE times a day every day for TWO weeks.- then repeat TWO times a
day every day for FOUR weeks, for a total of SIX weeks.

B. Make an overall movement towards an alkaline body by eating more fruits and
vegetables, and eating less sugar and animal protein. - Disease thrives on sugar.
Eliminate all beverages and foods with processed sugars from your diet--especially
any processed foods containing high fructose corn syrup.
C. Take fossilized stony coral. It is a whole food mineral complex that is 87% calcium
-- the number one buffering mineral the body uses to neutralize acid. Always look
for an above the sea fossilized stony coral product with vitamin D added for
complete absorption. If it includes a little Betaine HCL for better digestion, all the
better.

STEP 2: -Build up the immune system by balancing the body

As we have already discussed, diet is essential to good health. You need the right
balance of vitamins, minerals, salts and amino acids. Start with a balanced plantbased diet. Incorporate a shot of wheat grass daily (1-2 oz) into your diet. If wheat
grass is not available to you, replace with Barley Max juice powder- three times per
day. Make sure you do not mix it with other juices. Take the Barley or Wheat grass
directly for quick absorption into your system. Wheat grass juice is truly a miracleworker. There are countless examples of people who were near-death, afflicted with
hopeless degenerative conditions who totally rejuvenated their bodies with the selfhealing qualities of the wheat grass juice. We will discuss more benefits of Wheat
grass in section 5- Probiotics and Herbs.
Your balanced diet plan should include these foods and herbs that help build the
immune system and help destroy free radicals.
Vitamins B-15 found in whole grains, seeds, nuts, whole brown rice and are more
effective when taken with Vitamin B- complex, Vitamin C, and Vitamin E found in
fresh parsley (parsley has many beneficial factors for helping the body build and
repair)
Amino acids L-Arginine found in organic, no salt added unroasted peanuts and
Cysteine an effective antioxidant and scavenger of free radicals. It is found in red
peppers, garlic, onions, broccoli, brussel sprouts, oats, and wheat germ.
Minerals- Germanium is a trace mineral salt found in garlic and barley.
Salts- Sodium Bicarbonate to neutralize the acid in your system. You can mix 1 tsp
of food grade baking soda with 8 oz. of distilled water and drink it twice daily.
Herbs- are nature's pharmacy. You can find every vitamin, mineral, and amino acid
in an herbal source. Buy organic herbs and infuse them in tea or take herbal
supplements. The following have the proper curative properties for cancer: Blessed
Thistle, Chickweed, Echinacea Root, Gentian, Ginseng, Golden Seal, Red Clover, and
Slippery Elm.
Beverages- Drink carrot juice, the sodium bi-carbonate water and a tea blend of
Red Clover, Indian Sage, Oolong Tea, cinnamon and clove. You can also make an
herbal poultice of violet flowers and leaves or fomentation of violet leaves and
flowers placed directly on the location of tumors. (See section 5 for more on herbal
remedies).

STEP 3: Cleanse the Toxins Out of the Body

In addition to the detox regiments and fasting we discussed above you can also
add these three regiments for a gentle detox program that will slowly cleanse the
system over an 8-week period.

1.
Hydrogen Peroxide Therapy-this works by giving the body a high
concentration of oxygen so that diseased cells die and normal cells are revitalized.
In addition, hydrogen peroxide maximizes the delivery of oxygen from the blood to
the cells. In the book, The One Minute Cure. Author Madison Cavanaugh suggest
using 3% food grade H2O2 (this is not what you buy at the pharmacy) in a small
spray bottle and spray it in the back of your throat 5-10 times while inhaling the
mist deeply into your lungs. Repeat this twice in the morning and twice at night.
2.
Incorporate Fiber Cleanse- This contains a balanced blend of 28 herbs in a
psyllium and flax seed base to help you cleanse the colon, restore optimal bowel
function, and ensure timely elimination of toxins from the body. Start with 1
teaspoon twice daily and gradually increase over 2 weeks to achieve the desired
results (2 - 3 healthy bowel movements each day). This product is intended for
short-term use up to 3 months. You can mix serving in 6 to 8 ounces of your carrot
juice or purified water. Drink immediately upon mixing.

3.
Drink fermented beverages such as Rejuvelac. Drink as much as you like in
between meals to flush the system out and help cleanse the intestinal tract. The
health benefits of probiotic's will be discussed further in section 5. For cancer
patients I recommend drinking a minimum of 8 oz of Rejuvelac per day.
If you are trying to naturally cure yourself of a disease such as cancer you may
find this sample daily diet plan helpful. I would suggest trying it for a minimum of
one month to give your body time to respond.
Begin 30 minutes before breakfast each day with either the 5-10 sprays of H2O2 in
mouth while inhaling or the daily baking soda regiment as previously stated. Thirty
minutes later take a shot of wheat grass. Allow the Wheat grass to absorb into the
system for about 20 minutes then proceed with breakfast. If you do the H2O2
method I recommend taking the fossilized stony coral with lunch or dinner.
You may adapt this diet plan to work in conjunction with the blood type diet. If your
blood type does not allow for certain foods that are listed below, make a
substitution for another food that is on your list. (e.g. if you are not allowed
carrots just substitute something from your list that is in the same category such as
broccoli).

Breakfast: Prepare a juice for breakfast of carrots, celery, kale, apples with a small
piece of fresh ginger and turmeric root.
Mid day snack- prepare a green smoothie with Rejuvelac, spinach or kale, 1 frozen
peach and frozen blueberries. Peaches have high amounts of two specific phenolic
acid components - chlorogenic and neochlorogenic and have been proven to kill the

cancer cells while not affecting the normal cells. Peaches and plums have the
highest levels of these compounds of any known fruits.
Lunch: Eat a plentiful organic fresh greens salad for lunch with sprouts, sprinkled
with kelp or other sea vegetables, red peppers, onion and fresh squeezed lemon as
the dressing. Plus you may have a 2 cup serving of any of these organic
vegetables- steamed brussel sprouts, spinach, kale, collard greens or broccoli,
served with black beans as your source of protein, or brown rice. Use only a
squeezed lemon juice for a dressing and you can add as much onion, garlic and
parsley as you like.
Animal protein is acidic and you should completely avoid all animal products when
trying to recover from any ailment. Allow food to digest for one hour then
administer your second H2O2 spray or sodium bi-carbonate drink. Always allow any
of your beverages or spray to rest in your system for 30 to 60 minutes before taking
in any food. This will allow maximized absorption into your system.
Snack- Rejuvelac straight or mixed into another smoothie.
Dinner: Eat a light dinner such as oatmeal and raisins or fruit (apples, peaches,
plums or berries). Oatmeal- organic from a health food store. Never buy
prepackaged with added sugars and preservatives.
After dinner-try this healing blend of teas-Red Clover, Indian Sage, Oolong Tea and
spices (Cinnamon, ginger, turmeric). If you can not find all of the ingredients
immerse some fresh ginger and turmeric in your hot water and sprinkle with
cinnamon. CONSUME NO SUGARS OR CAFFIENE. If you find you are no satisfied
and still hungry throughout the day, you may add more raw fresh vegetables at
lunch and snack times. Raw carrots, broccoli, celery cucumbers or cauliflower are
great for snacking on.
This diet is an excellent choice for anyone that is trying to heal from any ailment
or to lose weight. Any change in diet should be under the supervision of your health
care professional.
