The One-Week Dairy Challenge

THE CHALLENGE: CONSUME NO MILK OR DAIRY PRODUCTS FOR JUST ONE WEEK. NO ICE CREAM. NO PIZZA. NO CHEESE. NO YOGURT.

READ LABELS. IF YOU SEE "SODIUM CASEINATE" OR "WHEY," SAY "NO WAY!"

If you are the typical American who eats 29.2 ounces per day of milk and dairy products (666 pounds per year), during your one-week experiment you should expel four quarts (1 gallon) of mucous from your body. An internal "fog" will lift from your system. You'll sleep better, exercise better, have greater lung capacity, and you might even recapture your youth. You'll even be tempted to throw away your antacids, antihistamines, and other pills made unnecessary by your new discovery, NOTMILK!

On day eight, eat pizza for dinner and have ice cream for dessert, and your internal "sludge" will return in about 12 hours. That will be the most convincing moment of truth for you. My prediction: You'll forever give up all milk and dairy products.

Find a healer who has taken courses in nutrition in medical school. Many physicians have not. Find an alternative practitioner who recognizes the age-old wisdom that you are what you eat. I wish you the best of health.

Robert Cohen, 2001, MILK A - Z

Mind-Controlling Techniques Used to Deceive You Every Day

You are part of the most conditioned, programmed culture the world has ever known. Not only are your thoughts and attitudes continually being shaped and molded, but your very awareness of the whole design seems like it is being subtly and inexorably erased.

The doors of your perception are carefully and precisely regulated. Who cares, right?

It is an exhausting and endless task to keep explaining to people how most issues of conventional wisdom are scientifically implanted in the public consciousness by a thousand media clips per day.

This four-part documentary does an excellent job of explaining how Freud's theories have been used by politicians and companies far and wide. Over the past century they have mastered the ability to engineer your consent and grow mass consumerism throughout the free world.

And, you certainly can't trust the mass media to learn the truth, as they do nothing more than confuse you with misinformation, all in the pursuit of the corporate bottom line.

We have just seen too many examples where people are sacrificed for money. This isn't right and one of the primary purposes of this site is to help expose their fraud and awaken the consciousness of our culture.

COLON HEALTH: The Key to a Vibrant Life! By Dr. Norman W. Walker

Some Synthetic Vitamins Damaging Health of Consumers

Last week, major news publications reported on a peer-reviewed study from the Journal of the American Medical Association which found that a number of synthetic vitamins appear to be damaging the health of consumers.

The meta-analysis indicated that the synthetic form of Vitamin A increased death risk by 16%, beta carotene by 7% and Vitamin E by 4%. The results for Vitamin C were not so clear, but by looking at the best quality trials there was a suggestion that it increased death risk by 6%, either on its own or in combination with other supplements.

The study adds further fuel to the Organic Consumers Association's (OCA) new "Nutri-Con" campaign, which is designed to help educate consumers about the benefits of food-based vitamins and to stop fraudulent labeling of synthetic vitamins and supplements as "natural."

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?

How to read the little stickers on loose fruits and vegetables... These stickers can tell you a lot about the food you are buying.

A label with four digits indicates conventionally grown food.
Labels with five digits starting with an 8 indicate that the food is Genetically Modified.
Labels with five digits starting with a 9 indicate that the food is Organically Grown.

I've printed this, cut it out and kept it in my wallet. But then I developed a mental association and can remember it without looking - "Four digits - normal food. 5 digits - heads up!" Then I consider that 9 is higher than 8, and remember that Organically grown is superior to - higher than - Genetically Modified.

One great big Green Smoothie a day is a great start... The rest will come with time.

Every essential nutrient is provided by the raw vegan diet when a good variety of foods are eaten.

Raw Living Foods Home Study Program

"To eat is a necessity, but to eat intelligently is an art." - La Rochefoucauld

The Home Study Program about Raw Living Foods was developed from the teachings of Dr. Ann Wigmore at Creative Health Institute. We put this program together because we talked to many, many people who either didn't have the time, or the money, to attend the two-week hands-on program in Michigan. I was going over the books recently and realized that we've shipped 20,000 videos in the last three years! That truly amazed me. I knew that there was a demand for this training, but I had no idea it would be so popular.

Twenty percent of our orders have been International shipments. We've shipped to every continent; in order of per-capita popularity: New Zealand, Australia, Iceland, Canada, England and Japan. We've also given away many complete sets of the program, including DVD players and television sets, all over Africa.

Who received video number 20,000? Two friends from Wisconsin, Natasha and Georgina. They both ordered the complete Home Study Program on the same day, and we filled their orders at the same time. One of the videos we shipped to them was number twenty thousand.

That sure is a lot of videos. I hope that they're being well-shared, and being viewed often. Being a "raw fooder" requires more than just not eating meat. I hear from many people that have thrown their bodies out of balance by eating too much fruit, or nuts, or other raw foods.

Furthermore, the Living Foods Lifestyle includes other components besides just raw foods. There is the "living" aspect of our foods, as well as internal cleansing, colon health, lymphatic system health, proper exercise, wheatgrass juice, energy soup, proper food combining, dehydrating, nutritional and dietary balance (lots of greens), and yummy food prep. All of this we teach at Creative Health Institute, and in the Home Study Program.

Surrounded, as we are, with increasing toxicity in our food and environment, eating a pure and healthy diet is more important than ever. More and more people are starting to see that, and I believe that's why the Raw and 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 50 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.

ST. PATRICK'S DAY BONUS

Jerry and James,

I just have to tell you that I am LOVING both the book Green For Life and the DVD Greens Can Save Your Life. I read the book in one night and cannot stop watching the DVD. I really can't thank you enough, I feel it is really saving me right now. Victoria just gave energy soup the fashion makeover it so richly deserves. Who would have thought that kale and chard could be so yummy? As they say, the proof is in the smoothie.....

Thanks from the bottom of my heart,

Supressed study ties GM food to cancer - A Russian study has confirmed a link between genetically modified (GM) potatoes and cancer in laboratory rats, according to UK Greenpeace activists. The results vindicate the research of Dr. Arpad Pusztai, whose work was questioned by industry backers.

The research was conducted in 1998 by the Institute of Nutrition of the Russian Academy, but was suppressed until a recent victory for anti-GM activists in the Russian court system that released the findings to the public. The study showed that GM potatoes did considerable damage to rats' organs.

Skipping Sleep Hard on Your Brain - Your brain is an amazing organ that constantly produces new nerve cells -- unless you don't get enough sleep: http://www.mercola.com/2007/mar/1/why-skipping-sleep-harms-your-brain.htm.

A simple way to radically reduce your risk of cancer - Upwards of six hours of strenuous activity each week could reduce the risks of invasive breast cancer by as much as 23 percent.

A recent survey of over 15,000 women shows that exercise has a lifelong protective effect against invasive breast cancer:  http://www.mercola.com/2007/mar/8/staying-active-with-exercise.htm

Toxins leaking into canned food - An alarming new study from the Environmental Working Group analyzed samples of canned fruit, vegetables, soda, and baby formula on sale in the nation's supermarkets and found that more than 50% were tainted with a chemical linked to birth defects, ADHD and cancer.

The chemical, bisphenol A (BPA), is an ingredient in plastics that lines food cans. According to the study, the chemical has been leaching into foods at levels up to 200 times the government's recommended "safe" level of exposure.

According to Dr. Frederick vom Saal, a professor of biology at the University of Missouri-Columbia, and a long-time expert researcher of BPA, there are 94 scientific studies indicating deleterious health effects from BPA. "If BPA was treated as a drug, it would have been pulled immediately. This chemical can be replaced right now by safer materials, and the public would never notice the difference."

OCA is planning to launch a campaign later this year to pressure food companies, especially organic companies, to stop using BPA-tainted cans and other toxic or non-sustainable packaging.

US bees mysteriously disappearing - Beekeepers in 24 states are reporting record losses of honeybees. The exact cause of this problem has not yet been determined, but bee colonies across the U.S. are disappearing, with some states reporting a 70% drop in bee populations.

"I have never seen anything like it," said California beekeeper David Bradshaw. "Box after box after box are just empty. There's nobody home."

A Cornell University study has estimated that honeybees annually pollinate more than $14 billion worth of seeds and crops in the United States, mostly fruits, vegetables and nuts.

"Every third bite we consume in our diet is dependent on a honeybee to pollinate that food," said Zac Browning, vice president of the American Beekeeping Federation. The Organic Consumers Association is closely monitoring the situation with efforts to determine if the problem of disappearing bees is related to genetically engineered pollen or pesticide toxicity.
