In the Dr. Ann Wigmore Raw Living Foods program we teach that cooking food destroys the digestive enzymes in the food, forcing the body to produce more enzymes to digest the food we've eaten. The following article explains why this is so important.
The Importance of Enzymes
by Junji Takano
You hear the word "ENZYME" nowadays, and very often you see posters and ads with a word "enzyme" on it. Even everyday products such as washing detergents have enzymes on it. But what is an "enzyme" and why it is important in our living?
During the postwar time, scientists thought that carbohydrate, protein and fat are the three nutritive substances in dietetics which are necessary to live. However, carbohydrate alone is not enough for proper metabolism. They then added vitamin and mineral to make up five nutritive substances. But then again, minerals were not digested. So, they added an overlooked substance, food fiber as the sixth nutritive substance.
These six nutritive substances are very important. However, other than the vitamins and minerals, there is one very important thing to keep life alive. It is the enzyme.
Enzymes are essential to sustain life. They work together cooperating with vitamins and minerals and act as a catalyst to accelerate chemical reaction, because most chemical reactions in biological cells would occur too slowly. Enzymes don't only act as a catalyst. When the body has an abundance of enzymes it can protect itself and repair the damage from almost all degenerative disease disorders! Without enzymes we age more quickly, get disease earlier in life, and acquire physical impairments and mental retardation as our bodies degenerate. Neither a human being nor an animal can live without enzymatic function. As it were the leading part of the life activities and it is the source.
If we take supplements in the correct form, most people would assume that the nutrients are being utilized to give the body the support it needs. Wrong. Without the assistance of digestive enzymes, many of the nutrients from the supplements are going to be used just for energy by the metabolic enzymes to clean up the bloodstream. It will not support the body's normal daily needs, creating another cause of deficiencies.
More than 5,000 enzymes are known. To name different enzymes, one typically uses the ending -ase with the name of the chemical being transformed (substrate), e.g., lactase is the enzyme that catalyzes the cleavage of lactose. In the near future, more enzymes will be named.
Each enzyme does one work. Therefore, 5,000 enzymes do 5,000 different works.
Enzymes weaken when heated. This is the reason why we are causing virtually all of our own disorders and diseases every time we eat a cooked or processed food. When we eat cooked or processed foods we're eating dead or denatured foods. Dead foods have no living enzymes and most nutrients are diminished significantly. Therefore, you should practice eating raw foods which contain enzymes.
What kind of food contains more enzymes? RAW fishes, meats, vegetables, fruits and specially fermented foods contains great amount of enzymes. Fermented foods have more enzymes called vegetable enzyme.
When eating broiled fish or roasted meat, try to add raw vegetables that contain rich vegetable enzymes which will help digestion.
Remember that lack of enzymes in the body makes the blood dirty, and it is the base of many kinds of diseases.
As I mentioned previously, protein alone does not work as energy in the body, because the body does not absorb protein itself. Protein should be processed and disassembled by enzymes, specifically, amylase (the enzyme that breaks down carbohydrates).
However, if amylase enzymes are not enough, the sugar called glucose which hasn't been digested is absorbed as it is, and floats inside the blood. This sugar which hasn't been digested makes the blood sticky, and sticks red blood cells together.
| Red blood cells join and become sticky |
Good blood with enough enzymes |
Even big red blood cells can pass thinner blood vessels because of flexibility. However, if the blood is sticky like the above left figure, blood won't pass efficiently. Then, various diseases may appear. This all happens because of overeating and eating only cooked and processed food, reducing enzymes significantly.
Researchers found that younger people had 30 times more amylase in their saliva than older people. This is the reason that, when we're young, we can handle a diet of bread, pasta and cooked foods without much problem. But this type of diet can cause rapid aging and depletion of enzyme supplies.
There are people who eat a lot of well-dieted food, yet remain thin (unhealthy). And there are people who eat less or are vegetarians, yet remain fat. So you understand that these maybe due to functions of enzyme in the body.
Bear in mind that when you feel weak, tired or sick, eat more of easily digestible foods with full of enzymes.
Things to Remember:
1. The source of most health problems can be traced directly back to improperly
digested foods.
2. The human body is designed to break down only half of the food we eat.
3. Cooked and processed foods overwork and drain the human body's energy.
4. Improperly digested food particles in the bloodstream distract the
protectors and repairers away from doing their job.
5. Fat is the best source of energy, fully digested fat is good fat. It has
been clinically proven that the more enzymes you take the more quickly your
body can restore, repair and strengthen itself.
6. The combination of digestive enzymes, vitamins, ionic minerals and clean
water gives your body the support it desperately needs.
7. We have a choice, to add to the body's ability to protect or repair, or to
continually and slowly drain the body's energy and enzyme reserves. Your choice
will be a determining factor in your long-term health.

Produce Protects Against Arthritis
Your morning glass of orange juice may be doing more than just helping you wake up; it might reduce your risk of arthritis. Researchers at the University of Manchester in England have found a possible link between consumption of brightly-colored fruits and vegetables, such as oranges, bell peppers, pumpkins, tangerines and papayas, and lower odds of developing inflammatory polyarthritis. The most common subgroup of inflammatory polyarthritis is rheumatoid arthritis: http://www.brewtonstandard.com/articles/2006/05/03/lifestyles/life04.txt.

Backslider's Corner
- by Jim Carey
This is a lifestyle choice, not a religion. Even if you're not eating 100% raw, how much better are you doing than when you were on the SAD (Standard American Diet)? Eating outside of the program is nothing to feel guilty about. One big Green Smoothie a day is a great start... By that we mean lots of greens, and just a bit of fruit. The rest of your healthier lifestyle will come with time. We can live on just a fraction of the food we normally eat.
------------------------------------- "Healing is Physical, Mental, Emotional and Spiritual." - Dr. Ann Wigmore. ------------------------------------- |
The average American is lucky to get two servings of vegetables a day. Nutrition experts would have us eating five to seven helpings a day. This pretty much captures America's health problems in a nutshell. If we ate more vegetables and fewer processed foods, we'd lose weight, clean our arteries, balance our blood sugar, and shut down a large number of hospitals: http://www.rd.com/content/openContent.do?contentId=15961.

Raw Living Foods Lifestyle - Home Study and Certification
Surrounded, as we are, with increasing toxicity in our food and environment, eating a pure and healthy diet is more important than ever. That's why the Raw Living Foods Movement is growing so fast.
There's a lot more to being a Raw Fooder than eating fruits and veggies. Now you can learn about the Raw Living Foods Lifestyle in the comfort and convenience of your own home. Learn how to detox your body, what to eat, why to eat it, and how to prepare yummy raw food meals that leave you feeling full and satisfied. The Home Study version of the Dr. Ann Wigmore Raw Living Foods Lifestyle includes over 45 hours of video instruction, and a comprehensive manual.
The Raw Living Foods Lifestyle has been taught by a series of visionaries in the past century. Dr. Ann Wigmore used it to cure herself of colon cancer in the 1950's, and then taught it for decades at Hippocrates Institute in Boston and Creative Health Institute in Michigan, teaching others to heal themselves naturally. If you can't get into a residential program, then the home study program is for you. There's so much material in the home study program - 15 lessons, 30+ videos, 350+ page handbook - that you'd have to spend at least a month at a place like Creative Health to learn as much.
The First Lesson is Free - Examine the program in your home for 30 days. Even if you don't elect to continue your subscription, the first lesson is still yours to keep. |

Eat More Fruits & Vegetables to Avoid Wrinkles
People who eat lots of fruit and vegetables are likely to have fewer wrinkles, says a new study which found that people with a high concentration of antioxidants in the skin look younger because they have fewer wrinkles. The study showed that vegetarians have more antioxidants in their bodies than non-vegetarians: http://news.webindia123.com/news/Articles/Health/20060418/308742.html.

Some foods naturally contain disease-fighting, health promoting properties, while others contain elements that may hinder your health goals. Find out information that may surprise you with these helpful food facts: http://www.mercola.com/nutritionplan/foodalert.htm.
Avocados are brimming with essential nutrients, including potassium, B-vitamins and folic acid. They also act as a so-called nutrient booster; when eaten with other foods, avocados enable the body to better absorb cancer-fighting nutrients. Eating avocados has been shown to lower cholesterol levels, and they are a rich source of monounsaturated fatty acids, including oleic acid, which offers significant protection against breast cancer: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/main.jhtml?xml=/health/2006/03/07/hsuperfood04.xml&sSheet=/health/2006/03/07/ixhright.html.
Eating broccoli sprouts while pregnant might help save your child from heart disease later in life. That's the intriguing conclusion of a new Canadian study. Broccoli's key antioxidant, sulforaphane glucosinolate (SGS), is up to 50 times more concentrated in sprouts than it is in mature broccoli: http://www.usaweekend.com/06_issues/060430/060430thinksmart.html#eatsmart.
(Reuters) - Poor diet is as bad for human health as smoking, a Dutch report said: http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20060529/hl_nm/food_dutch_diet_dc_1.
(AP) Lung cancer acts differently in women than in men, and major new studies are exploring if estrogen is a key reason - and whether harnessing the hormone might help fight the No. 1 cancer killer: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060529/ap_on_he_me/healthbeat_women_s_lungs_1.
(AFP) - The World Health Organization (WHO) has accused the global tobacco industry of continuing to use misleading labels to lure millions of people, including children, to take up smoking: http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20060530/wl_asia_afp/wh0healthtobacco_060530051829.

Remember the 1993 out break of E. coli 0157:H7 at Jack in the Box restaurants in the Pacific Northwest that sickened 700 people? The Clinton Administration told the USDA to start testing the public meat for E. coli. Since 2000, America’s agribusiness firms have donated over 140 million dollars to candidates running for Congress and the Presidency. In return the Bush administration and the Republican majority in Congress have worked hard to serve these private interests at the expense of public health: http://www.americanchronicle.com/articles/viewArticle.asp?articleID=8697.
A major review of the 89 best studies between 2002 and 2006 - published in the March 24, 2006 issue of the British Medical Journal - finds that there is no evidence of health benefits from eating oily fish or taking fish oil supplements. Researchers from nine institutions analyzed the 89 most rigorous studies that looked at the effects of omega-3 fatty acids on various health issues. Researchers said that they found no strong evidence that fish consumption had an effect on overall deaths or the prevention of heart disease, cancer, or strokes: http://www.fishinghurts.com/feat-omega3.asp?int=weekly_enews.
Cheese was a significant part of the patient's diet. Following a low carb diet could cause serious health conditions, doctors in the US have warned: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/4814314.stm.
Almost 60 percent of US medical schools do not meet recommendations for nutrition education for medical students, producing physicians - the first port of call for nutrition advice for many consumers - who may have inadequate nutrition knowledge... many medical schools did not offer nutrition courses: http://www.nutraingredients-usa.com/news/ng.asp?n=67000-nutrition-obesity-education.

Vegan Firefighters - The image of big brawny firefighters devouring platters of four-alarm chili, sizzling steaks and double cheeseburgers is as much a part of firehouse lore as brass fire poles and heroic Dalmatians.

Live
Sauerkraut Recipe
by Elaina Love
1 cabbage (red or green)
Optional: 1/2 to 1 tsp. Himalayan Crystal Salt
1/2 cup lemon juice
4 Tbs. dried dill or
1/2 cup fresh dill chopped
2 Tbs. caraway seeds
4 to 8 cloves garlic, crushed
1. Slice the cabbage using the 1mm setting on a mandolin
or food processor, or cut paper thin with a knife. Discard the outer leaves.
2. Mix all the ingredients together and massage it with your hands. Continue to
work the cabbage until the liquid starts to release. You may need to let your
hands rest, so leave the cabbage sitting and come back to it every 1/2 hour
until when you press on the cabbage, liquid rises to the top. [If you have a
kraut pot with weighting stone, you just have to mix thoroughly, and the stone
will do the rest.]
3. Place the kraut in a 1 quart glass jar. Press the cabbage down until the
liquid rises above it about 1/8 inch. The juice may sink back down a little and
that is okay.
4. Place a lid on the jar and let sit for 1-4 days, depending on desired
sourness.
5. Once the sauerkraut is ready, place it in the refrigerator.
Sauerkraut will keep for up to 8 months in the refrigerator.
