FOOD AS MEDICINE Part 4

Kirlian photography: reproducing a luminescence on photographic paper that emanates from all living things but is ordinarily invisible to human senses
Kirlian photography showed that plants also have an aura/energy field and there is a difference in the luminescence of a raw leaf and a cooked leaf. Researchers got consistent results that the energy discharge or corona caught on film, is significantly stronger, more radiant and wider than that from a cooked or damaged plant.
Using chromatography to measure energy differences between fresh and cooked foods, and between natural and synthetic vitamins, was developed by Ehrenfried Pfeiffer. He discovered that when he added extracts from living plants to a solution of copper chloride, it produces a pattern of crystallization. Strong patterns indicated health; and weak patterns ill health. Using this method, he successfully demonstrated the differences between natural and synthetic vitamins. Commercially made Vitamin C and the Vitamin C in acerola cherry looked very different. Man-made vitamins lacked the vivid colors, strong clear patterns, radial lines and fluted edges of the natural vitamins. The same differences appeared when fresh foods are compared with cooked and processed foods.
The addition of even minute quantities of common food preservatives has been found to disrupt crystallization patterns.
I have written in my book, Glimpses of God about the energy frequencies of food and emotions, and how it will affect the frequency of the body either in a positive or negative way.
In the same way, Andre Simoneton used a biometer to measure angstroms, which showed the effects of which I wrote
A 75% raw food diet creates high levels of energy and stamina. It will lead to deeper, more restful sleep, more endurance and stamina for work and exercise. You will eventually notice it in your skin and hair, better overall health. The over-full, bloated feelings will make place for a lighter feeling.
This I experienced and experience myself. I eat and/or drink (smoothies)in my 90% percent raw-plant food diet, with some fish. I call it the paleo-vegan way of eating. With that I eat raw nuts, seeds and sprouts of all kinds. No dairy products or eggs, sugar or refined starches. I use Kefir and drink Kombucha. Raw beetroot and spinach juices every day.
I don’t starve myself. I am never hungry. I don’t have cravings. I don’t “deprive” myself as people seem to think I do. My IBS and Leaky gut tummy is healed.
I do believe in working on root emotional causes, releasing energy blockages, nervous system and brain work, counselling, exercise, drinking enough water and getting enough sunshine, together with herbal remedies and raw-plant foods as a holistic way of healing. But there are many problems created by just living on dead and processed food, a high meat diet, sugar and starch laden food. Problems that can be resolved by just eating what your body needs and want.
This does not mean to say that you can never eat a piece of cake again, but the cleaner and healthier you start to eat, the less you will WANT to eat those things, and when you do, you will experience the effect of it on your body. You will actually be much more in touch with your body and what it needs.
More and more athletes -vegan, vegetarian and those on a low animal protein diet – are proving to the world that you don’t need so much animal protein to compete successfully. As far back as 1974 Swedish athletes started to follow the principles of a high raw, low protein diet.
Racing cyclists Fausto Coppi and Luis Ocana rode to victory on a diet raw fruits and vegetables, whole grains and honey.
Jehina Malik, Nimai Delgado, Zack Belknap are just a few vegan bodybuilders that won championships.
One of the most successful ultra-long-distance runners in history – Scott Jurek, has been a vegan athlete since 1999.
As early as 1866, two German physiologists, Pettenkofen and Voit, had done some experiments which showed that protein does not bring the quick energy for muscles that most sportsmen claims it does.
In the 1930’s, Prof Karl Eimer put top athletes into high-intensity physical training for two weeks. Then without an attempt at slow transition, changed their diet to one of entirely raw foods. Protein dropped from 100g per day to half that amount. The athletes grew stronger, faster and more supple.
More in my book about the effects of a high quantity meat-diet on the body.
– a high raw-diet offers a perfect combination of all the nutrients essential for maximum vitality for the whole body, to the cellular level.
– Raw foods cleanses the body of stored wastes and toxins
-raw foods increase the micro-electric potential of cells, improving the body’s use of oxygen, energizing both brain and muscles.
– Since a high-raw diet is almost inevitably low in animal protein and fat it makes for better functioning and health overall. Too much fat starves tissues of oxygen and too much protein exhausts the body’s mineral reserves and creates huge amounts of toxic wastes
Don’t let allopathic medicine and the pharmaceutical companies keep you sick – by promoting all sorts of indigestion and heartburn and acid-reducing etc. products. – it cures nothing. It is selling an unhealthy lifestyle and bad eating habits by offering quick fixes that just suppress symptoms.
