PROPER
FOODS – PROPERLY COMBINED
Dead Foods
are foods that
are devoid of life. Remember that only LIFE begets LIFE.
Therefore, only LIFE can sustain LIFE. For a perfectly healthy
body, TRY TO EAT ONLY LIVE FOODS.
Live
Foods
are foods that will spoil, rot, ferment, sour,
mold, mildew; attract moths, weevils, bugs and worms; but
which are eaten before these situations occur. If these
microbes and creatures who cannot read, write, listen to
radio, and are not attracted to the beautiful models on TV –
if they will not touch or eat a product, it is DEAD – AVOID
IT. |

Only FRESH,
raw foods are ALIVE and have ENZYMES. The fresher and
healthier the food, the more the ENZYMES. Enzymes are killed
by light, heat, moisture and oxygen. Many other things also
kill enzymes such as cooking, pasteurizing, refining,
fragmenting, processing and chemical additives; and yet, these
enzymes are the “bridges” between your food and the ability of
the body to assimilate best nutrition.
Heat above
116 degrees Fahrenheit starts killing enzymes.
The higher
the heat, the more and the faster they are killed. Milk is
pasteurized at around 140 degrees Fahrenheit so as a source of
enzymes, it should be avoided. Insist on RAW milk or get
GOAT’S milk – they are usually not pasteurized.*
To
find out if the bread you are purchasing is of good quality –
leave it in the bag in which it was purchased. Set it in a
high, warm place. If in 7 days it molds THOROUGHLY on all
slices (not just in spots), and if in 7 weeks, it has all
turned to a fine green powder, it is a PERFECT FOOD.
Avoid bread that will not mold
completely through, but eat good bread before it molds.

ANTACID ANYONE
As we grow older many of
us find we cannot as easily digest or “handle the vast
assortment of conflicting foods that we once did”. Why?
Because for too many years we have imposed on our wonderful
digestive mechanism in many ways; one of these impositions may
have consisted of requiring it to do two opposing operations
at the same meal, namely:
1)
Digest proteins, which require a strong ACID
medium and at the
same time.
2)
Digest concentrated carbohydrates, which
require an ALKALINE
medium.
The
CARBOHYDRATES need the alkaline saliva of the mouth and the
alkaline juices of the intestine to complete digestion. The
PROTEINS activate the pepsin of the stomach needed to split
the protein molecule, and bring forth the hydrochloric acid
needed for complete protein digestion. Acids and alkalines
when brought together can neutralize each other so that
neither type of food is easily or thoroughly digested. Too
frequently, this results in fermentation of the carbohydrates
and undigested acid end products from the proteins. All this
may tend to add toxins and thus, the body’s vitality is
lowered. When one’s digestive system has been weakened, it
should naturally be given every aid in self-recuperation.*
Many so called “authorities” disagree with this proposition,
but why theorize or enter into a “scientific” discussion. We
believe that you can and should prove this nutritional wisdom
to yourself.

If for 30 days you will rigidly avoid WRONG
COMBINATIONS OF FOODS, YOU WILL UNDOUBTEDLY BE AMAZED at the
friendly, contented feeling in your stomach and at your
feeling of renewed strength and well-being.
