"Dr. gabriel cousens believes that what we are really facing is an epidemic of biologically altered brains caused by nutritional deficiencies. "In every generation on a universally poor diet," Dr. Cousens says, "there is a successive increasing degeneration in our mental and physical state. This has been shown in animal studies and we are now finding it in human studies. We have at least eight million children on Ritalin. At least 10 percent of our children have hyperactivity. We have 500,000 children on antidepressants, particularly Prozac. One hundred thousand children are active alcoholics." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"In his Natural Hygiene course, he explains in detail that the body is actually able to recycle proteins. Dr. gabriel cousens also notes that research on people fasting on water indicates that their serum albumin levels (the amount of protein in their blood) remained constant during fasting despite no protein intake. The body maintains a pool of amino acids, continually sending some free amino acids or protein complexes to wherever they are needed for tissue repair. This is explained in the classic physiology textbook authored by Dr. Arthur Guy-ton." - Susan E.

"Notice the term "generally speaking" in the previous sentence. gabriel cousens, in Conscious Eating, mentions the complexity of this topic. His research has shown that about 30 percent of the people he counseled responded exactly opposite to this claim. In other words, the fruits and vegetables they ate made them more acidic. So we must be willing to take the time to determine individually what foods will work best for us. Regardless of the cause, it is obvious that maintaining the proper pH in the blood, digestive tract, tissues, and fluids is essential in order to support optimal health." - Tom Bohager, Everything You Need to Know About Enzymes to Treat Everything from Digestive Problems and Allergies to Migraines and Arthritis (Get the book.)

"These minimum vitamin B12 requirements are inadequate to explain the needs of well nourished individuals with strong digestion who require even less vitamin B12 due to excellent gastric strength, enzymatic activity and a high ability to recycle vitamin B12. Dr. gabriel cousens, a long-term raw-food vegetarian, has included an excellent discussion of vitamin B12 in his book Conscious Eating and on the internet.

"In Spiritual Nutrition and the Rainbow Diet, physician and spiritual teacher gabriel cousens, M.D., includes an excellent chapter on fasting in which he describes his theories and his own forty-day regime. According to Dr. Cousens, "... fasting in a larger context, means to abstain from that which is toxic to mind, body, and soul. A way to understand this is that fasting is the elimination of physical, emotional, and mental toxins from our organism, rather than simply cutting down on or stopping food intake." - Elson M.

"Note: The information presented in this chapter is a condensed version of Chapter 4 in Rainbow Green Live-Food Cuisine by gabriel cousens, M.D. Chapter 31 A Conscious Approach to an Evolutionary Diet Purpose of Diet To design a diet for ourselves requires a clarity of purpose. Just as an architect does not design a building without the purpose of the building in mind, to transcend the unconscious gobbling of our food we also need a perspective of what we want from our diet. Six purposes of diet have been developed in this book." - gabriel cousens, M.D., Spiritual Nutrition: Six Foundations for Spiritual Life and the Awakening of Kundalini (Get the book.) "I had in the past made several attempts to meet Dr. gabriel cousens during my trips to California, but had to wait until we both shared the same flight to and from Yugoslavia, for the World Vegetarian Congress. Our first meeting was in total silence; I felt his special presence on the plane, without introductions. The return home was quite different. High above the clouds of confused earthly thinking, we shared experiences along the spiritual path that we had both traveled from slightly different directions. We touched upon Kun-dalini, kinetic mechanics of Love, God, and consciousness." - gabriel cousens, M.D., Spiritual Nutrition: Six Foundations for Spiritual Life and the Awakening of Kundalini (Get the book.)
