"Over a period of thirty-five years, I have seen a variety of people heal diabetes naturally with live foods and fasting. Other live-food clinics have achieved similar results. Research reported in the literature by Dr. James Anderson, and by Dr. Neal Barnard, have validated the importance of a plant-source-only diet in the amelioration of diabetes. All we have done differently with our 21-Day+ Program is to take the next logical and common-sense step. As Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "Society is always taken by surprise by any new example of common sense." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"More than half a century ago in his book Prescription for Energy, Charles de Coti-Marsh explained, "By eating live foods you create a live body. live foods contain essential nutrients the body needs to create and maintain energy. Dead foods advance age, decrease ability, and decrease energy ... they are useless when dead, exposed to air, soaked with water or unduly dried." Convenience foods (pre-cooked, processed, or refined) not only lack these life-sustaining nutrients but they're loaded with chemicals that accumulate in the colon, thus forming toxic residue." - Dr. Edward F. Group III, DC, ND, DACBN, Health Begins in the Colon (Get the book.) "What are live foods? Raw fruits, vegetables, seeds, nuts, and whole grains are all good examples of live foods. The human body depends on these kinds of foods for energy to constantly restore and maintain health. What are Dead Foods? By contrast, dead foods have been robbed of their nourishing vitality. Also, these foods are laced with toxins from the artificial conditions employed to grow, process, and prepare them for sale. For instance, pasteurization uses heat to kill the valuable live enzymes in dairy products." - Dr. Edward F. Group III, DC, ND, DACBN, Health Begins in the Colon (Get the book.)

"John Douglass theorizes that live foods have a "higher energy ability to awaken relatively inert molecules in our systems by either taking an electron or giving them one. This high-energy electron transfer ability is described as the 'high redox potential' of a particular molecule" (Conscious Eating, p. 575). Dr. Douglass proposes that the high redox potential of living foods, which is destroyed by heat, is an important factor in their role of assisting the body to heal itself. Another raw food researcher, Dr." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.)

"In order to correct allergic conditions, the body must be detoxified and strengthened by a diet of whole live foods and a healthy lifestyle. Enzyme intake must be increased. All allergens must be avoided while the body is healing. Pasteurized dairy products, in particular, should be avoided due to their mucus-forming, acidic, and denatured nutritional properties. One should seek the guidance of a health practitioner who understands allergies and who counsels the detoxification and strengthening of bodily systems." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)

"Individualizing the diet ?Why live foods? ?Nutritional questions and answers ?Bringing it home SPIRITUAL FASTING RETREAT I have done fasting, yoga and meditation before, but never on the level of competence and integrity Dr. Cousens and his staff have designed to address medical, emotional and spiritual concerns in one fully integrated, lovingly supportive program. G. L. D?PHD, TUCSON, ARIZONA Hosted by Gabriel and Shanti Gold-Cousens, longtime experienced juice fasters, this retreat applies spiritual juice fasting to unblock the divine source of youth, vitality, and transformation." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.) "International Summit on live foods. On this diet, there are some variations, but a general pattern is needed to activate healing. The general pattern, according to Ayurvedic principles is that diabetes is a kapha disorder, although it can happen in any of the three doshas. The corrective diet for a kapha disorder is a low-fat, low-sugar diet with more of a focus on bitter, pungent, and astringent foods. Kapha imbalances are made worse by a high amount of oil, a high amount of sugar, and low exercise. Kaphas tend to have constipation, and they are made better by a high-fiber diet." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"I respected his knowledge concerning health and nutrition, and he was his own best example, since he always looked so vibrant, a condition he attributed to eating mostly raw, live foods. He showed me one of his books called Become Younger, originally written circa 1920 by Dr. Norman Walker, the originator of the raw-foods movement. I bought the book and began introducing more live foods into my diet. When I showed the guy from the health food store the numbers on my hair analysis tests, he said, "Wow! These are intense. You're having a couple of bowel movements a day, right?" - Timothy Brantley, The Cure: Heal Your Body, Save Your Life (Get the book.)

"He found that in addition to improving the intra- and extra-cellular excretion of toxins and the absorption of nutrients, live foods were the only types of foods that could help the body restore the microelectrical potentials of tissues after their electrical potentials and consequent cellular degeneration had begun. It is believed that living foods get their electrical charges from the highly charged electrons sent to them by the sun. Hormones The Pottenger cat study (page 151) was one study that showed that hormones are destroyed in cooked foods. Meat is a valuable source of hormones." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.)

"There may be many reasons for this, but it is usually due to a deficiency of proper nutrients from live foods, including complete proteins, vitamins, and minerals. Other contributing factors may be the lack of oxygen and enzymes, the inefficiency of the digestive system, congestion of organs such as the liver and kidneys, congestion of the elimination systems of the lymph and colon, and adrenal fatigue. When toxic wastes are stored in the body, the cells become less efficient at producing energy. What energy is produced must be directed toward survival as a first priority." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)

"He concluded, "The most powerful diet for bringing a diseased biological terrain back to normal is live foods." Dr. Robert Young, PhD, DSc, explains that a healthy or diseased body is determined by four things: (1) pH balance (acid/alkaline), (2) electromagnetic charge (positive/negative), (3) levels of toxic accumulation and (4) nutritional status (Sick and Tired? p. 21). He claims that an unhealthy blood cell can morph into a bacterium, which can later change into a yeast, or fungus, which could turn into a mold in an advanced state of bad health." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.)

"Taking probiotics can help this, but switching to a plant-based diet with some live foods is the only sure way of restoring elimination function. Consider how important these two functions are: ** If you can't digest, then you automatically violate principle #1 of the Unified Theory of Health—you can't get the nutrients into your body. •* If you can't eliminate, then you automatically violate principle #2 of the Unified Theory of Health—you can't eliminate the toxins that harm your body. That's why a colon detoxification process is absolutely crucial to achieving lasting health." - Mike Adams, Natural Health Solutions (Get the book.)

"If it's not in the produce section and if it doesn't spoil quickly, it is a dead food and it's not going to support human health in the same way that live foods or raw foods would. Where Do Human Foods Really Come From? Nutritional Law Number Seven: Foods popularly consumed by humans are nutritionally inferior to foods consumed by pets and farm animals. This is an interesting nutritional law and most people who aren't familiar with the food industry would initially reject that statement." - Mike Adams, The Seven Laws of Nutrition (Get the book.)

"His life's mission was then to offer the world the incredible healing power of juicing and live foods.

"Yet most people arrogantly cling to erroneous theories. Imagine having dedicated the focus of your entire life to a theory and then having to watch some radical upstart come along and pull the rug out from under it! The closed-minded always react with a staunch, egoistic desire to protect their theories. This is true especially when a lot of money has been invested in them, as is the case with today's global trillion-dollar-a-year medical system. Dr." - Susan E.

"On the other hand, when you eat raw and live foods that are unprocessed, coming directly from the earth, you'll derive more energy from your food than it takes to digest it. • Eat like the wild animals—directly from the earth. They don't change the form of food they eat, and they have great health. This means you should not eat any processed or junk food that will load your body with toxins. • Choose foods that don't create a quick rise and fall in your blood sugar. Avoid all refined grain products—bread, pasta, tortilla chips, and pastries." - Timothy Brantley, The Cure: Heal Your Body, Save Your Life (Get the book.)

"These mutations are often harmful to the body, whereas organic live foods are harmless and mostly water: water distilled by nature. Obstruction-Free Did you know that the human body is a Perfectionist? The body's dream come true would be for us to live in a pristine environment on water alone, breathing in the heavenly fragrance of pure clean air. I am not going to explain in detail the theory about how and why Breatharianism is possible; that's another book in itself." - Matt Monarch, Raw Success (Get the book.)

"Special diets are essential for life, and you're fooling yourself if you think you can get away without eating "live foods" that contain nutrients and enzymes instead of "dead foods" that don't contain any real nutrients. Now that you have read about my cancer diet you may want to go a step further in great nutrition for your particular blood type. I would recommend that you take a look at this great book. It's called, Cancer, Fight It with the Blood Type Diet by Dr. Peter J. D'Adamo. I have mentioned this book before, but I need to mention it again." - Gregory, A. Gore, Defeat Cancer (Get the book.)

"Our digestive system is naturally programmed to extract energy from live foods or complex staple foods, which contain plenty of Prana. The body regards such lifeless foods as meat, cornflakes or light-foods to be indigestible and tries to "dump" them as quickly as possible. All they do is to congest the intestines where they ferment and putrefy. This is the first location in the body where waste, meaning extra weight, starts to accumulate and, when the intestinal "vessel" is full, it begins distributing the waste to other areas of the body as well." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.)

"Try eating more "live foods" that are full of nutrients. Your body will feel full, you won't have to eat as much to be full and you will remain full longer. Additionally, eat smaller portions and eat more slowly. You will then start to lose weight and, with exercise, just think what could happen. You can do it, and you will be amazed at the results. If you want to feel better and not catch every cold or flu that comes along, and also increase your energy, buy fresh organic foods and start taking good nutritional supplements." - Gregory, A. Gore, Defeat Cancer (Get the book.)

"People moved away from healthy fruits and vegetables and stopped growing their own live foods in their gardens. Now, more and more people are avoiding exercise, avoiding natural sunlight and avoiding drinking clean water, instead opting for seductive products like soft drinks. This is what has changed, not our genetic makeup. Thus, the message that your genes are responsible for your disease serves primarily to strip away your power and make you believe you are not responsible for your current health outcome." - Mike Adams, Spam Filters for Your Brain (Get the book.)

"He explained that live foods begat live tissues, and dead foods begat dead tissues. Eat food from the earth, he told me, and nothing from a jar, can, or package. Vegetable juices are essential, and I was told to go no more than four hours between meals. The diet allowed no caffeine, no sugar, and no bread. I was to drink vegetable juices, not fruit juices, and let me tell you, never in a million years did I think I could drink something green. I just couldn't face it at first, so I started with carrot and orange juice, but it was way too sweet for me." - Timothy Brantley, The Cure: Heal Your Body, Save Your Life (Get the book.) "I bought the book and began introducing more live foods into my diet. When I showed the guy from the health food store the numbers on my hair analysis tests, he said, "Wow! These are intense. You're having a couple of bowel movements a day, right?" I was embarrassed to admit that I was lucky to have a bowel movement every second or third day. I thought back to when I was searching for alternative cancer therapies for my mom. Someone had recommended "colon therapy," more popularly known as "colonics." I decided to try it, and I managed to locate a colon therapist in Miami." - Timothy Brantley, The Cure: Heal Your Body, Save Your Life (Get the book.)

"My observation in working with many spiritually committed people is that yin food, especially a diet high in live foods, accelerates the consciousness process, and as consciousness increases, people are able to increase their percentage of yin live foods without becoming unbalanced. On a theoretical level, I hypothesize that God's Divine fire actually begins to add a yang element that balances the more yin foods." - Gabriel Cousens, M.D., Conscious Eating (Get the book.) "Food enzymes are present in all live foods and serve the function of specifically activating the digestion of those foods in which they occur. live foods contain a variety of metabolic enzymes as well, such as superoxide dismutase (SOD). There are an estimated 50,000 enzymes active in the human organism. Approximately 2700-3000 enzymes and their functions have been identified. Each organ has its own set of enzymes. Of the 50,000-plus enzymes, about 24 of them are digestive enzymes." - Gabriel Cousens, M.D., Conscious Eating (Get the book.)
