Why Chew Your Food?

Unchewed food is one of the biggest culprits in the loss of nutrients supplied to the body. Whole living foods that are not completely chewed cannot be adequately broken down and assimilated by the body. Although the nutrient density and quality of whole foods is much greater in a raw vegetable versus a cooked vegetable of the same kind, the nutrients of the raw vegetable are relatively more difficult to access unless the food is adequately chewed.

All raw food naturally contains the proper types and proportions of enzymes necessary to assist in the process of digestion. In addition, when raw food is eaten, chewing ruptures the cell membranes and releases these indigenous food enzymes, many of which survive and contribute to the digestive process.

Retrain yourself to chew your food. Spend some time at it. The rewards are numerous. If you are still having difficulty, process or blend your raw foods for easier assimilation.

"Chew every mouthful until it is liquefied in your mouth."
- Dr. Robert Hoas, President of The American College of Sports Nutrition

"Chew your drink and drink your food."
- Gandhi

"One should not swallow any food without masticating it well."
- The Code of Jewish Law

"Chewing is most important. You have no teeth in your stomach nor in your intestines. The more you chew, the quicker you will master the principles of longevity and rejuvenation."
- George Ohsawa

"Nature will castigate those who don't masticate."
- Horace Fletcher, author and professor
- favorite admonition of my great-grandmother

"Liberty means responsibility. That's why most men dread it." - George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950)

The Natural Lifestyle

"Never would it occur to a child that a sheep, a pig, a cow or a chicken was good to eat, while, like Milton's Adam, he would eagerly make a meal off fruits, nuts, thyme, mint, peas and broad beans which penetrate further and stimulate not only the appetite but other vague and deep nostalgias.

"We are closer to the Vegetable Kingdom than we know; is it not for man alone that mint, thyme, sage, and rosemary exhale 'crush me and eat me!' -- for us, that opium poppy, coffee-berry, tea-plant and vine perfect themselves? Their aim is to be absorbed by us, even if it can only be achieved by attaching themselves to roast mutton."

- Cyril Connolly

The Immune System and its Relationship to the New Epidemics - Movie Review

- with Joe Bassett
- filmed at Creative Health Institute

I've been digitally re-mastering the Creative Health Institute training videos, and spent the last week fixing up this one. I've smoothed out the video, and increased the sound volume while removing the background buzz. In doing this I've viewed the entire movie at least five times, and I have to say I've certainly been reinspired by it.

In this video Joe Bassett, long-time owner of one of the largest health food stores in the United States, gives a 90+ minute report on the state-of-the-health of Americans. He quotes from numerous scientific studies and reports, and shows how we could wipe out disease in America within five generations, merely by switching to a Raw Living Foods lifestyle.

Bassett starts with the Price-Pottinger report, but he supplements it with 30+ years of experience in judging and recommending health foods, supplements and alternative therapies. He ties cancer, arthritis, diabetes, colitis, lupus, migrane headaches and a host of other dis-eases to the Standard American Diet and processed food.

For those of us who want "evidence" of why the Living Foods lifestyle is a good thing, this is the video to watch and share with friends.

Backslider's Corner

Backsliding but progressing is NOT about feeling guilty about slipping. Even if you weren't 100% raw this week, how much better are you feeling than when you were on the SAD?

Backsliding? Don't forget Morgan Spurlock's experience: http://supersizeme.com/.

Raw Living Foods Education at Home

Thinking about a Lifestyle Change? NOW is the time to do it. The kids are back in school, vacations are over, and it's going to be easier to find a bit of time for yourself again.

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. Dietary variety, purity, balance, sprouting and personal detoxification are important, too. Now you can learn about the Raw Living Foods Lifestyle in the comfort and convenience of your own home. Learn how to detoxify 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, where she taught 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.

In The News

After repeated discoveries of dangerously high pesticides levels in Coke and Pepsi products in India, six states have announced bans of the products in schools and hospitals. In response, the U.S. Under Secretary for International Trade, Frank Lavin, has threatened India with withdrawals of foreign investment. Although the Indian Centre for Science and the Environment have confirmed previous studies, and found levels of pesticides 24 times the legal limit in the Indian-made soft-drinks, New York-based spokesman for PepsiCo's international division, Dick Detwiler, said of the situation, "All of the data and all of the science point to the fact our products in India are absolutely safe." Learn more: http://www.organicconsumers.org/2006/article_1511.cfm.

A preliminary survey of beef and poultry sold in U.S. supermarkets conducted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration found relatively high levels of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, according to a report presented at the 101st annual meeting of the American Society for Microbiology in May 2001. FDA microbiologist Dr. David Wagner reported that investigators found "fairly substantial amounts of resistance to a number of drugs." For more information: http://www.organicauthority.com.

Why Grow GM Crops that need Pesticides Anyway??? The GM cotton initially proved useful in China - after three years of using it, farmers cut their pesticide use by more than 70 percent, and were earning as much as 36 percent more than their peers as a result. After seven years, however, the GM farmers needed to spray just as much as conventional farmers. Since the GM seed costs three times the amount of conventional seed, farmers using the GM plant were making less money in comparison: http://www.mercola.com/2006/aug/24/why_grow_gm_crops_that_need_pesticides_anyway.htm.

I like green smoothies so much that I bought an extra blender and placed it in my office, so that I could make green smoothies throughout the day. More than half of all the food I've had in last several months have been green smoothies. I have so much more energy and clarity that I have removed green juices from my diet. (Juicing has been something that I've been doing regularly for years.) Green smoothies have numerous benefits for human health, and are very nutritious.

Hi Jim!

Well, I was reluctant to print all 88 pages of the Ann Wigmore book you posted but I am glad I did! It was great. I'm not done yet but just wanted to pass along the kudos to you all for the know-how to get it up and on the web so we all can enjoy it. It's great to hear the whole background of Ann. I love hearing the stories about when she was a child. Very enlightening!

Thanks again,
Peace,
Michelle Plucinsky
