Eat Organic foods and try to avoid foods that have been genetically modified or grown with pesticides, herbicides, hormones, antibiotics, insecticides, etc.  These chemicals, carcinogens and poisons may cause disease. The nutrients in organic foods have also been found to be much higher than in conventional produce. 

Eat Whole Foods instead of products that are refined, processed, preserved with chemicals and food additives to prolong their shelf life.  The body has a more difficult time digesting partial food, refined and partially hydrogenated oils, or anything else that is not in its natural, whole state.

Eat Raw Foods because food that has been cooked at temperatures over 118° F may no longer contain vital digestive enzymes.  In fact, your body may have difficulty digesting and assimilating nutrients found in foods prepared at high temperatures. Also, vitamins, minerals and other trace nutrients are greatly diminished during the cooking process.  Try to eat more fresh, raw fruits and vegetables.

Foods that Heal

Superfoods- So named, because of their incredibly rich nutrient content. These foods are the richest sources of vitamins, minerals, and trace elements on the planet!  Spirulina, Blue-Green Algae, Chlorella, Cereal Grasses (alfalfa, barley, wheat), Dulse Seaweed, Kelp, Acerola Cherry. See “Organic Nutritional Supplements” for more.

Grains- Whole wheat, millet, barley, rye, oats, quinoa, corn, buckwheat, bulgur, and brown & wild rice among others. [Eating Raw? Always soak nuts, seeds and grains before consuming to break down the enzyme inhibitors—nature’s defense mechanism to prevent these grains being eaten before they can sprout and grow—that interfere with digestion. Soak in a bowl of distilled/purified water for about 5-8 hours, depending on size. Overnight is usually a good amount of time. Remove and discard the grains that float as they likely have some rancidity. Drain, rinse well and enjoy!

Vegetables- Kale, spinach, potatoes, yams, taro, zucchini, carrot, squash, onion, broccoli, cauliflower, dandelion greens, mustard greens, parsley, beet, beet greens, celery, green/yellow/red bell peppers, cayenne peppers, corn, cabbage, wild lettuces, radishes, mushrooms, asparagus, cucumber, eggplant, artichoke, chives, leeks, green beans, and turnip greens- to name a few!

Fruits - Olives, avocados, grapes, raspberries, blackberries, mangos, honeydews, strawberries, apples, blueberries, lemons, limes, pears, apricots, oranges, cherries, bananas, cantaloupes, pineapples, grapefruits, papayas, peaches, and prunes.

Juices - Buy a Juicer.  Mix your own assortment of fresh, raw, organic vegetables and fruit and juice them yourself. Juicing is an excellent means of adding raw fruits and vegetables to your diet. Since more and more healthful substances in fruit and vegetables are being discovered all the time (i.e. phytochemicals- compounds that have been shown to prevent and combat cancer), it is highly recommended you consume 2-4 glasses of fresh juices a day. You''ll be getting easy to digest, concentrated nutrients and enzymes, which are a must for any healing or preventative health program. You will be amazed at how delicious they are and will also feel an immediate boost of energy and vitality. Always store leftover juice in tightly sealed glass jars to avoid losing the valuable enzymes to oxidation.

Legumes- Peas, lentils, and beans—kidney, white, navy beans, garbanzo, pinto, black.  Eating Raw? Always soak legumes before consuming to break down the enzyme inhibitors that interfere with digestion. Soak in a bowl of distilled/purified water for about 5-8 hours, depending on size. Overnight is usually a good amount of time. Remove and discard the legumes that float as they likely have some rancidity. Drain and rinse well and then enjoy.

Nuts/Seeds- Coconuts, almonds, walnuts, sesame, sunflower, pumpkin seeds, Brazil nuts, cashews, peanuts, and chestnuts. Eating Raw?
