"The Tibetan goji berries offered by the tree of life Rejuvenation Center have been grown in protected valleys in wild and cultivated areas of Inner Mongolia in million-year-old soil where pesticides have never been used. They have been dried and are packaged in a vacuum-sealed bag. In a Phase 1.5 cuisine, the berries may be eaten alone in their dried state as a snack (just a few), or they can be soaked and incorporated into recipes. FLAXSEED Golden flax seed is packed with nutrition and is an essential daily addition to a healthful diet." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The tree of life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"HERBS AND SPICES Where possible, fresh herbs and whole spices are used at the tree of life Cafe, as their flavors are so much richer and delightful than their dried counterparts. Spices such as fennel, dill, cumin, clove, cinnamon, and cardamom can be bought in whole form and easily ground in a spice mill or coffee grinder. STEVIA Stevia is a sweet herb native to North and South America. Only one species, rebaudiana, tastes sweet enough to be called "sweet leaf" in Brazil and Paraguay, where it grows wild. Stevia is a great sweetener alternative." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The tree of life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.) "I recommend in our tree of life recipes that one can try substituting these oils for olive oil. Conventional cooking oils should be avoided, as they have been highly processed. Even "cold-pressed oils" could have been influenced by heat at some stage of processing. Recommended oils include: ?Cold-pressed flax seed oil, which should be used within three weeks from date of pressing, as it is highly susceptible to rancidity ?Hemp seed oil, which should be used within six weeks from date of pressing, as it is highly susceptible to rancidity ?" - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The tree of life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"A Chilean farmer recently made international headlines with his "Tree of Life," covered in grafts of plums, peaches, cherries, apricots, almonds and nectarines. Sometimes, a graft mutates into a different fruit. This is what's known as a sport. Perhaps one in every million or two grafts will spontaneously mutate and develop different characteristics than its progenitor. If the bud mutation is interesting, yielding a different colors, or flavor, the sport can then be propagated itself. Exposing branches to mild doses of radiation is also done in order to expedite mutations." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.)

"He has a new book, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The tree of life 21-Day Program, as well as a documentary on the same topic, Raw for 30 Days. Also at the age of 60, he competed in the Native American Sundancing cycle. He completed three Sundance cycles of four days in the desert without food and water. No one else in the group of 52 people, which included dancers 40 years younger than he, was able to match his feat. He attributes this entirely to his live-food lifestyle. According to Dr." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.)

"Presently tired, however, of being alone, he went over to the gigantic tree of life. "Honored High Mistress, Mother of my Tree and my Dwelling Place," he prayed; "everything that lives exists in pairs and propagates descendants, but I am alone. I want now to travel and to seek a wife of my own kind; I wish to measure my strength against my kind; I want to become acquainted with men—to live according to the manner of men. Do not deny me thy blessing; I do humbly pray. I bow my head and bend my knee." - Joseph Campbell, The Hero with a Thousand Faces Joseph Campbell (Get the book.)

"Cousens runs the tree of life Rejuvenation Center in the United States and has written several books. My favorite is Conscious Eating, in which he talks about the importance of raw food, enzymes, enzyme therapy, and pH balance. In my opinion, this is one of the most thorough and balanced approaches to nutrition, health, and healing ever written. It is based on his experience and success in the clinic he founded and thus has real practical benefits. ELLEN CUTLER, MD Dr." - Tom Bohager, Everything You Need to Know About Enzymes to Treat Everything from Digestive Problems and Allergies to Migraines and Arthritis (Get the book.)

"Hara Berezaiti drink immortal haoma, distilled from the Gaokerena Tree, the tree of life. The Japanese gods drink sake, the Polynesian ave, the Aztec gods drink the blood of men and maids. And the redeemed of Yahweh, in their roof garden, are served the inexhaustible, delicious flesh of the monsters Behemoth, Leviathan, and Ziz, while drinking the liquors of the four sweet rivers of paradise.148 It is obvious that the infantile fantasies which we all cherish still in the unconscious play continually into myth, fairy tale, and the teachings of the church, as symbols of indestructible being." - Joseph Campbell, The Hero with a Thousand Faces Joseph Campbell (Get the book.)

"Plant this story in your hearts, nourish this story in the hearts of your children, and maybe it will grow into a beautiful flowering tree: a tree of life." - Pam Montgomery, Plant Spirit Healing: A Guide to Working with Plant Consciousness (Get the book.)

"The tree of life, i.e., the universe itself, grows from this point. It is rooted in the supporting darkness; the golden sun bird perches on its peak; a spring, the inexhaustible well, bubbles at its foot. Or the figure may be that of a cosmic mountain, with the city of the gods, like a lotus of light, upon its summit, and in its hollow the cities of the demons, illuminated by precious stones." - Joseph Campbell, The Hero with a Thousand Faces Joseph Campbell (Get the book.)

"Thus, by the time the dust had settled, in the 1970s, the hierarchical tree of life had two domains—Prokarya and Eucarya—and five kingdoms: Plantae, Animalae, Fungi, Protista, and Bacteiia.* A proper recognition of the status of bacteria, however, requires more. Long before it had an underlying theory like natural selection ot tools like biochemistty, life science became systematic by categorizing organisms accotding to motphological differences—legs versus wings, scales versus skin. The bias survives, and profoundly understates the variability exhibited by bacteria." - William Rosen, Justinian's Flea: The First Great Plague and the End of the Roman Empire (Get the book.) "Paleontologists regularly push back their estimate of the moment when Earth's tree of life first broke ground, and many of their discoveries are still somewhat controversial. But while professionals will continue to argue about the details, they long ago reached consensus on the big picture: The appearance of the first recognizable bacterial life more than 3 billion years ago, the first cells containing a nucleus about 1.5 billion years later, and the first multicellular life somewhere between 570 and 700 million years ago." - William Rosen, Justinian's Flea: The First Great Plague and the End of the Roman Empire (Get the book.)

"Twelve more fruits are found on the final page of the Book of Revelation, all growing on the tree of life that grows on both sides of and in the street of a river. These fruits are in season every month of the year. Beyond these fruits, God speaks, saying, "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last." He is all opposites, unified. Fruits are symbols that guide us across a threshold into a new reality. Cacao fruit was the "pathway to the gods" in Mesoamerica. In Norse mythology, the Goddess Frigga brought children to paradise bundled in floating strawberries." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.) "In his manuscript Eden and Its Two Sacramental Trees, Gordon created frenzied diagrams attempting to prove that the coco-de-mer was the tree of knowledge of good and evil (the breadfruit being the tree of life). While flipping through botanical textbooks, I learn that the immature fruit contains a luscious custardlike flesh beneath its salacious exterior. Until the 1970s, distinguished visitors were sometimes honored with a taste of the coco-de-mer's transluscent jelly, then known as the billionaire's fruit. These days, nearly endangered, it is even harder to taste." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.)

"Archangel Michael also stands at the gates of paradise "to keep the way of the tree of life" (Genesis 3:24). Angelica was so highly regarded it was called the "root of the Holy Ghost." My personal interpretation of this reference is that Angelica can serve as a spiritual guide in one's life. This indicates that people other than shamans have known for centuries that plants, at least this one, have a spiritual aspect that can be understood and worked with. Angelica is equally majestic in its ability to heal the physical body." - Pam Montgomery, Plant Spirit Healing: A Guide to Working with Plant Consciousness (Get the book.)

"When God had created this world and made a beautiful garden, He put the tree of life in it, the leaves of which were for the healing of the nations. The Lord told them to eat freely of this tree, because that tree was especially designed to keep them well. This tree corresponds with the tree of life that is found in the Paradise of God, of which the redeemed are going to eat freely. When man was driven from the Garden of Eden and had no more access to the tree of life, God added herbs to man's diet and God expects that we shall partake of them to keep us from getting sick." - Jethro Kloss, Back To Eden (Get the book.)

"Gabriel Cousens of the nonprofit tree of life Foundation in Patagonia, Arizona, decided that research needed to be published on the effects of live food diets on children since so many raw food parents get harassed by the authorities for "child abuse." Preliminary results as of June 2004 showed that the heights of 74% of the children were above the lowest 25th percentile and the weights of 68% of the children were above the lowest 25th percentile. All children were above the 10th percentile. The heights of 37% of the children were above the 75% percentile." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.) "Over the years, a significant number of people have returned to a normal, nondiabetic physiology from the diabetic physiology through our antidiabetic program at the tree of life. According to the research of the New York Times, there are 21 million diabetics and 40 million prediabetics, and diabetes is "incurable." In order to test our clinical experience, in February 2006, we invited six people who were eating the traditional American fast and junk food diet and had been insulin-dependent diabetics for an average of five years. It represented a final test of our program." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.) "He established the tree of life Rejuvenation Center, a live food retreat located in Patagonia, Arizona. He now offers a university master's degree course in the study of live foods. Gabriel wrote Rainbow Green Live-Food Cuisine, which explains how he has modified his raw food diet even more. He eliminated foods that push the "composting button," which means that they cause disease-promoting fermentation and putrefaction within the digestive system." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.)

"Even so, any picture of the tree of life that places bacteria at the bottom—or even, more correctly, at the center?runs the risk of forgetting something rather important: Bacteria didn't stop evolving once their descendants showed up. They haven't stopped doing so yet. When the demon began the last stage of its own evolution, its immediate ancestor may have been living anywhere between the River Nile and the Bay of Bengal,* but for now, it is probably more useful to adopt the creature's perspective, and to say that it lived in a somewhat more circumscribed universe: the mammalian gut." - William Rosen, Justinian's Flea: The First Great Plague and the End of the Roman Empire (Get the book.)

"Gabriel Cousens, an MD and raw foods pioneer, and the founder of the tree of life Rejuvenation Center in Arizona.

"The peach originated in China, and the peach tree was the tree of life to the ancient Chinese. Both peaches and nectarines have to be picked ripe—they don't ripen well after picking. You also have to be careful with them, as one small bruise and they'll go bad. Clingstone peaches are ones in which the pit clings to the flesh; freestone peaches are ones where the pit breaks free. Pineapple This delicious fruit not only looks healthy, but also it smells healthy. And most important, it is healthy.
