Why I Tricked The Emergency Room Doctor

Why I Tricked the Emergency Room Doctor and Nurse

These doctors and nurses think they know it all. All that training and they don't know the simple basics about health. Their ignorance is deplorable to me. They don't even know the cause of infections and that germs (in most cases I'm aware of) don't cause disease.

At least this is the case with many physicians; I know this isn't so with more enlightened doctors. In fact, we have many of the more enlightened doctors who read the Superbeing Secrets Letter regularly. But for them to realize these concepts, they had to step outside of their medical school training.

Several years back I cut my left pointer finger with a very sharp knife and I went to the emergency room and got 18 stitches. That was a painful situation. I couldn't believe that the doctors were asking me to move my finger back and forth before they did any work on the finger. I was in enough pain as it was.

Anyway, that's beside the point. After they sewed me all up, the doctor said he was going to prescribe antibiotics for me. But I knew I had no need to take antibiotics.

Why the heck was I so confident that I wouldn't get an infection? Because I was eating a 100% Raw Food Diet.

When I used to eat cooked food, I often got infections in my mouth, but then when I switched to going 100% raw those infections never happened. I had gone back and forth with 100% raw many times and always I got the same results.

Each time I went back to cooked foods, I got infections in my mouth, each time I went raw I never had infections in my mouth. It becomes quite obvious after a while.

I also read many raw food books and knew from the authors that you won't get infections if you're body is clean. My experience proved this.

So when the nurse gave me an antibiotic to take right there in the hospital, I was a bit surprised. I thought I'd just get a prescription and then not fill it.

But she gave me the pill and to avoid confrontation I simply pretended to swallow it. I knew I wouldn't get an infection. I guess I did a little magic trick with the pill and made it disappear without it going in my mouth.

So what was the result of me not taking my "absolutely necessary" antibiotics? How about ZERO INFECTION. My cut even got wet and it never became infected. Was this luck or an accident?

No way, it was no accident. I was simply demonstrating the fact that if you're body is clean you won't get infections or colds for that matter.

The real cause of infections is not germs or virus, but the filth that builds up in the human body. You'll only get an infection if you have excess waste products and toxins in your body. Otherwise you can have all the cuts you want, hang out with people that have the flu or any other so called infectious disease and you won't get it.

I haven't had the flu in many years, I think at least 7 or 8 years if not more. I know many other raw foodists who have experienced the exact same thing. Everyone around them is sick, but they don't get sick.

If you want to take charge of your health, if you want to stop being the victim of allergies, if you want a superior life, then you need to feed your body with clean and superior nutrition and that is the Raw Food Diet.

The Germ Theory Lie

It was created to make a bunch of doctors very wealthy. It's one of the founding principles of medical science and it's a complete hoax, a frigin lie of mammoth proportions.

If you want to learn the facts about the Germ Theory and The Myth of Contagion, I have two suggestions for you.

If you happen to be in the New York City area on Monday night 5/14/07, that's tomorrow, by the way, then you really should find a way to come on over and listen to a master speak. Or maybe you have friends or relatives living near New York.

The name of this master communicator and educator is Matthew Grace, the author of A Way Out. Matthew is a powerful and totally inspiring speaker, you'll feel his deep emotions when he talks, he'll unwrap the web of lies created by the medical monopoly.

These lies are designed to make you a victim, to make you pay for needless and toxic druggings, chemical burning and surgery. I don't say these things lightly and neither does Matthew. He's put in many years of study into this field.

He's one of the leading raw food leaders of NYC and he's also an expert on AIDS. And yes AIDS is not caused by the so-called HIV virus. I'm sure Matthew will explain that as well. Matthew is such an incredible resource, I hope you get the chance to hear him speak.

You can learn about tomorrow night's talk that is sponsored by the Raw Health and Happiness Society by visiting this link.

http://www.rawfoodny.com/talks.htm

But if you don't have a chance to come to the talk then I highly recommend you read Matthew's book "A Way Out." That book is brilliantly written, he makes such powerful illustrations and mental pictures in your mind. His explanations make everything crystal clear in your mind.

The chapter to read is chapter 5, The Myth of Contagion. I'm awed by how well written that chapter is. When you read that, you'll understand why the germ theory is a bunch of crock. I do suggest more background reading, because Matthew doesn't get into all the details and citations to back up his points. But I know he's done the full research.

Visit:
http://matthewgrace.com/ to learn more about the book and see pictures of the muscular Matthew Grace. He's also a personal trainer and builds his muscles with a raw vegan diet and Natural Hygiene approach.

But those citations about the "myth of the germ theory" are out there. I know because I have done the research as well. What most people are unaware of is that Louis Pasteur (the main proponent of the germ theory) was a plagiarist and a second rate scientist, but a first rate politician.

But that's a story for another day. Just realize that much of what is passed on as medical truth, is nothing more than a lie calculated to separate you from your money, your health and yes your life. This is no joke, this is the most serious of information.

It's very likely you have family members that have suffered greatly and died well before their time because they made the mistake of trusting their health to doctors. At least you cannot say that you haven't been told. And hopefully, you are one of my enlightend readers who knows better.

So please try to come to Matthew's talk if you're in the area and otherwise I highly recommend you read his book.

24 Hour Special: Conquer Cooked Food Addiction In 30 Days Without Willpower

"How To Conquer Cooked Food Addiction In 30 Days Without Willpower!"

Get your copy of the brand new Your First 30-Days Raw, on CD

24 Hour Special - $10
(You save 67% off the normal price of $29.97)

Please Note: The price on the page will say $29.97 but during this 24 hour period when you click on the order link, you'll see that the price is actually only $10.00.

I’m offering readers of my newsletter and this blog 67% off for the next 24 hours (until 4pm Friday, Eastern time or EST, which is GMT-5) on my new audio CD program. It's a live teleconference in which Frederic Patenaude interviews me on the best techniques to thrive while going on a 100% Raw Food Diet during your first 30-days.

Frederic and I make quite team. He not only interviews me but shares several powerful concepts as well. You get the synergistic effect of the expertise of two experts on the raw food diet.

If you can stay 100% raw for 30 days or more, you're very likely to stay 100% raw (for as long as you want) and do so without struggle and willpower. The only caveat being that you must do a balanced raw food diet. Once you learn the motivational and dietary secrets to going raw, it's really very easy to go 100% raw and to stay 100% raw.

You just need the right concepts and to apply them consistently for 30-days and you'll find going raw isn't all the struggle you thought it would be or it's just much easier than when you've tried it in the past. In fact, my program will show you at least 3 ways to reduce cooked food cravings by 90% starting on your first day raw. But there's much more than that.

If I could directly implant my knowledge and experience into your brain, you'd instantly know you could go raw without a problem. It's not that going raw is so hard, it's just that there are some key psychological and dietary concepts that you don't yet understand. False beliefs are the only things holding you back from superior health and a superior life.

The right knowledge is the key to success. Have the right knowledge in totality, then going raw is easy. Try going raw with the wrong ideas and succeeding is like finding a needle in a haystack.

I’ll be setting the price at a very reasonable $29.97 for Your First 30-Days Raw, right after this special is over. However, for the next 24 hours… it’s yours for $10. Here is the URL to place your order:

Talk: How To Cure The So-Called Incurable Disease

Special talk for our local Raw Health and Happiness Society in New York City.

Topic: The Myth of Contagion - Special Lecture - The Real Reason There Are So Many So-Called Incurable Diseases and How To Regain Your Health Without Drugs, Doctors and Surgery.

Speaker: Matthew Grace click here for all the details of his talk.

Date: Monday, 5/14/2007

He Didn't Believe It... But It Worked!

He thought this was a good idea, but he just couldn't imagine it actually working for him.

Yet 30 days later he was still 100% raw and not craving cooked food. After 30 days, he finally realized this superior Anti-Addiction strategy really does blow the pants off cooked food addiction.

How did Rob, my raw food coaching client, smash through years of cooked food addiction and struggle with staying 100% raw? It's simple -- I gave him an advanced copy of my new CD program.

What is this magical anti-addiction strategy revealed on this CD? It's none other than the classic 21-day principle.

If you can follow a positive new behavior for 21 days, you'll automatically form a new habit. Once it becomes a habit, it becomes habitual. In other words... you don't have to think about it anymore, it becomes automatic.

In fact, it becomes so automatic, that doing the old habit soon becomes painful!

No more need for willpower or struggle. Get through the first 21 days and you've got it made in the shade.

I've taken this classic self-help strategy and customized it for succeeding with the Raw Food Diet except I extended this period from 21 to 30 days to make sure the habit really sets in.

Introducing: Your First 30-Days Raw

This is my brand new audio program on CD that will put you on the fast track to going raw, staying raw and loving every minute of it. My friend Frederic Patenaude, the author of The Raw Secrets interviewed me on the best ways to make it through your first 30-days of being 100% raw.

He also shared some really good insights. Together we make a powerful team.

Successful long-term raw foodists know that it's easy to stay raw. But people addicted to cooked food, just can't imagine it. They can't imagine never again being able to indulge in pizza, ice cream or cake or you name it.

This is exactly what Rob was thinking. He thought the idea made sense, but he just couldn't imagine it being easy no longer eating cooked food.

In fact, the difference between success and failure with going 100% raw, is just having and then implementing the right ideas for 30-days in a row.

If you want to gain the fat-burning, happiness producing and life altering benefits that the Raw Food Diet brings and do it without struggle or unnecessary cravings -- then you'll want to get yourself a copy of my new CD "Your First 30-Days Raw."

Be on the lookout. In the very near future, I'll be running a special sale in which you can get this at over 50% off the normal price. But this steeply discounted price won't last very long. So make sure to order as soon as you get the notification in your email.

In the meantime, I suggest you get a copy of Think and Go Raw as it is a perfect companion program to "Your First 30-Days Raw."

I'd also highly recommend you get yourself over to HowToGoRaw.com and get all the raw food coaching and support you need to succeed at staying 100% raw. The ridiculously low price for HowToGoRaw.com membership won't last forever.

Soon I won't be offering nearly as much on at HowToGoRaw.com and I'll be increasing the price. So get in there before I stop being so lazy and make the changes to the site. It could happen any day and I won't necessarily give you any further warning.

With the right ideas, with the right coaching and support and you'll soon realize you've become a completely new you. Going raw is like the caterpillar turning into the butterfly, a new birth into a life of sunshine, flight, freedom and the happiness that comes with it.

To Your Radiant Health, Happiness, Fitness and Freedom, Roger Haeske

P.S. I know you may not believe me, but going 100% raw is easy, if you know all the tricks. Use my ideas and you can save yourself needless pain and cravings. It doesn't have to be that way. "Your First 30-Days Raw," is coming soon, in the meantime, you should get a copy of Think and Go Raw and or join http://howtogoraw.com/.

P.P.S. Isn't it time you finally put your health and happiness first? What is life without health and energy to enjoy it? Going raw is a snap when you have the right ideas.

Organic Food to Become Extinct. Don't let it happen!

You're health and life are under direct attack by the world's most powerful corporations that want to completely monopolize your food and the supplements you take. The huge pharmaceutical, chemical, biotech, agribusiness and the medical industry are behind these dangerous moves.

This is simply another step in the removal of your freedoms and the creation of first regional governments, like the European Union and the coming North American Union and then to a World Government. The world is rapidly approaching the standards in the book and movie "1984" by George Orwell.

Part of these plans are the reduction of the world population in half. The current plans are a powerful step in that direction.

If you don't take action by April 30th, 2007, you may never again be able to take your favorite supplement and even worse, you may never again have access to truly organic food. Food standards in general will radically decline.

Have you heard of Codex Alimentarius? Don't be deceived by the lies telling you these regulations are for your own good.

This has already been passed in Europe. Don't let it be passed here in the United States. For thousands and possibly millions of people, this could be the difference between life and death and the difference between radiant health and disease.

The United Nations also supports this Codex Alimentarius. When this passes the United States won't be in control of it's own organic standards, that will be left up to a world body composed of the most powerful and dangerous corporations in the world.

Please watch this video that I've linked to below and then take action as recommended. Every email sent to Congress is considered as representing 13,000 people. So what you do really counts and could give us a chance to fight the further erosions of our freedoms.

http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/index.php

Remember, the commentary period ends this month on April 30, 2007. Take action now and fight for your health freedom.

You're at war and you don't even know it. This is a sneak attack on your health and that of your family, friends, and of all future generations of your children.

So please watch this video now and take action. They have easy pre-filled email forms to send in to your congressmen.

Raw Almonds are About to Become Extinct. Don't let it happen!

Below I'm including a very important letter from www.LivingTreeCommunity.com. They distribute raw nut butters, etc.

But this issue with almonds is only the tip of the iceburg. In my next post, I'm going to tell you about a new set of rules that is trying to be passed, that will destroy organic food. There will be no more organic food if the big companies in the drug, agra-farming, medical industries and more have their way.

Be ready to take immediate action, the well being of you, your family and your children's children hangs in the balance. This is an all out war against your health rights by a few giant corporations that want to monopolize business and kill millions of people in the process.

Please keep this in mind as you read the below letter.


Dear brothers and sisters,

On Friday, March 30th, the California Almond Board passed a mandatory almond pasteurization order. It requires that all almonds be pasteurized beginning September 1, 2007. This is an affront to the live food movement and an insult to organic farming.

It is all the more poignant that this is coming when an abundant new crop of California almonds is expected to be harvested in September. This, after several years of crop failures and a sharp increase in price. Instead of rejoicing with the new crop of almonds, what does Big Almond propose to do? It plans to fumigate them! The order requires that all almonds be treated either with steam or propylene oxide, a toxic chemical. Almonds treated in this delightful way are permitted to be labeled as “raw”.

To be understood properly, this must be seen in the perspective of a deep trend in the food industry:- Before long, it seems, all the food sold in the United States will be genetically modified, irradiated, pasteurized, homogenized, hydrolyzed and packaged for a two-year shelf life and it will all be labeled as “All Natural”. It’s no wonder, then that the United States population demonstrates the lowest levels of mental and physical health of any advanced nation. (Mike Adams, The Big Almond Atrocity, NewsTarget.com)

The most remarkable thing is that there is no distinction between conventional grown and organic almonds. Both are subject to the same pasteurization order. This, despite the fact that the standards of sanitation and cleanliness are higher with organic. Not only is organic thrown into the same boat, but the California Certified Organic Farmers (CCOF), the largest body of organic almond growers was not invited to participate in the hearings on before the mandate became law. Two weeks ago when we heard of it, we phoned Peggy Miars, the Executive Director of the CCOF. It was obvious that she had no prior knowledge. This despite the fact that, by far and away, organic almonds bring in more sales revenue than any other organic fruit or vegetable in California. Seventy-six members of CCOF are either almond growers or handlers.

The enlightened and progressive CCOF has the political clout and know how to contest this. They are the oldest and most reputable organic certification association. We suggest that you write to Peggy Miars, Executive Director at peggy@ccof.org and request that she mobilize in protest. At very least, they should ask for a separate marketing order for organic almonds. Should CCOF fail to act, they will be crushed. The same powerful forces that pushed for the fumigation of almonds are constantly seeking to chip away and erode organic standards. Moreover, just around the bend are yet more sinister threats, e.g. food irradiation.
The new regulation to sterilize almonds coincides with the recent announcement by the Food and Drug Administration that it intends to relax its labeling requirements for irradiated food. The FDA proposal will also allow irradiation... to be called pasteurization... (Press Release,The Cornucopia Institute, 4/6/07)
Then there is the FDA’s long-standing refusal to require that genetically engineered food be labeled.

There you have it:- fumigated almonds are to be labeled “raw”, irradiated food is to be labeled “pasteurized” and that tomato with pig genes is not labeled at all.
Please address Ms. Miars graciously and respectfully. Remember the CCOF folks are, for the most part, family farmers. Speak from your heart, and you’ll know what to say. She requests that people not phone her.

Please forward a copy to us. We’ll collate your letters and publish them on our site. For letters you’ve already written please click on Your Letters.

My Father Hated Exercising Until He Tried This Simple Idea

Wouldn't you like to enjoy exercising for a change?

Today I'm going to show you a really simple idea my father used to improve his health and to lose weight. The interesting thing about this idea was that it had the hidden side benefit making exercise enjoyable instead of hard work.

For some mysterious reason my father no longer had to force himself to exercise, he was really enjoying it now.

My Father's Story:

The other day I was speaking with my father over the telephone. We were discussing the health problem of another family member I'll call Joe.

By the way, my father is almost 67 years old, this should give you courage to try this out even if you're well past middle age. It's never to late to improve your life.

Now back to the discussion with my father. My father was quite sure that if Joe would switch to a 100% raw food diet, he would quickly heal his enlarged prostrate and avoid surgery and the negative side effects of drugs.

As for side effects. Within a week of taking this drug for his enlarged prostate, Joe had very little appetite, has slept much less than normal and has been depressed. I wouldn't call these symptoms side effects, I prefer to call them a "full frontal assault" as my friend, author of A Way Out, Matthew Grace calls them.

A Way Out is a fantastic book by the way. Read it if you want to motivate yourself to become a vegan, raw foodist and someone who doesn't get fooled into taking perscription drugs.

Unleash the Power of Raw Food

My father now knows the power of eating raw. A little while back he did a dietary experiment. For a solid week he replaced his normal dinner meal (which most people would consider super-health-food) with a large and totally raw, blended salad.

He filled up a large Vitamix container full of tomatoes, cucumbers, celery, lettuce and spices and then liquefied it into a soup. That's a blended salad or you can call it a vegetable soup. Or you can make it really thick into a pâté consistency.

You can find loads of quick, delicious and hearty raw food recipes and much more at my Raw Food Coaching and Training website http://howtogoraw.com/. Many of these recipes can be made in under ten minutes and all you need is a knife, cutting board and a blender.

He told me he noticed something unusual happened to him after eating in this way. When he did his daily exercise routine, for some reason he actually started enjoying it. It was like his body now wanted him to exercise it, to push him to his limits. His body was coming to life again.

Exercise Used To Be Excruciating

In the past, he did his daily exercise program because he knew it was important for his health. But he always had to force himself through it. He didn't like doing it, but he did it anyway.

But by simply replacing his dinner meal with a raw meal he started feeling energetic and he naturally wanted to exercise. Another benefit is that he was losing belly fat at a steady pace while eating this way.

My father is not the only one who's experienced this sudden urge to exercise. I often get the incredible desire to exercise, my body begs me to move it and to keep it active. It's this incredible urge and all I can think about is moving my body and just loving life.

The same thing happened to me today, even though I was up really late last night and didn't get nearly enough sleep. But my body still wanted to exercise. It wanted that super flow of oxygen created by the deep breathing and movement of exercise. The desire for movement and life is natural when you eat foods in their radiant natural state.

Raw foods transmit pure happiness and energy to you. We weren't designed to be sitting around all day and be vegetables. But we were designed to eat vegetables.

We Were Designed to do Daily and Vigorous Exercise

All humans before the advent of agriculture exercised considerably. They'd walk or run about 3 to 8 miles a day.

If they wanted to eat and survive, they had to move. If you've been living like a vegetable then I suggest you eat some vegetables and fruit and you'll start to feel an electric energy flowing through you.

With all the people I coach and have worked with, many of them have revealed the same phenomena. They'd often, out of nowhere, have a burning desire to exercise when they were eating a raw food diet.

Aren't You Curious What My Father's Normal Meal Was?

His normal dinner meal consisted of a package of frozen vegetables that he lets thaw out. Then he puts on those vegetables a liberal quantity of flax seed oil and he all add quite a bit of cayenne pepper and I believe some other spices.

So he didn't even cook his vegetables, but what most people don't know is that virtually all frozen vegetables have to be cooked or pasteurized before they are frozen. Certainly, there is some damage in the freezing process but much worse is what happens to a food after it has been cooked.

At least he didn't cook them twice.

And of course, everyone knows how supposedly healthy it is to drink or consume flaxseed oil. I'd bet his dinner meal is better than what 98% of Americans eat and yet it was lacking compared to eating a large raw salad.

So if you want your body to ask you to move it, then why don't you try by replacing one of your cooked food meals with a raw meal of either fruits, vegetables or both.

Remember, there is no other diet on the planet that can even compare to the life changing effectiveness of a raw food diet. Don't kid yourself; if it isn't raw, it doesn't work.

If you want to learn all the tips and tricks to make going raw as easy as possible, then I recommend you "get in your hands" a copy of my latest ebook, Think and Go Raw. Don't forget, you get the amazing Raw Food Warrior Technique included with that as well as a special bonus gift.

Harness The Power of the Raw Food Warrior

The Raw Food Warrior Comes to Your Rescue

You've had a hard day at work, a coworker is having a birthday party and she invites you to have some birthday cake. You're really tempted. Then you figure, this will make me feel better, I'll just have a little bit of cake.

Before you know it you're eating several pieces of cake, donuts and drinking coffee. Wow how did this happen. You were trying to stay 100% raw, but that food was so tempting and you wanted to feel better.

Later at night you decide to go out to your favorite cooked food restaurant. Might as well since you've already blown the day with the cake, coffee and donuts.

Soon enough you start to realize that the food only tasted good in your mouth, once it goes into your throat and digestive tract it's all downhill from there.

You know this and yet similar scenarios happen to you again and again. You know cooked food is toxic and yet you still eat it.

What can you do to get out of this vicious cycle?

You hire the Raw Food Warrior to protect you from cooked food addiction. For a very low, one time fee, you can harness his ultimate strength, power and self-discipline for the rest of your life. How's that for a cheap employee?

But he's not an employee, but a mentor and a personal power booster. You can tune into his power and blast through any addiction or problem. He has ten times or more power and determination than you have in your weakest moments.

He's never weak. He's never tired and he loves eating raw. He's your constant companion in times of trouble.

But he's not just for helping you go raw. You can use him for any bad habit you want to break. He'll help you generate dynamic desire-power so that you'll actually crave doing what is in your best interest.

He will man-handle and shred to pieces any bad habit you have. The Raw Food Warrior is the secret weapon I use to overpower and crush cravings and bad habits of any kind!

Personally, I don't need him to stay raw. That's now very easy for me. I instead use him for other areas in my life that I haven't mastered. Or when I'm facing a difficult situation in life and I need courage.

The Raw Food Warrior is someone you can have in your life. I've added him and his power generating technique as a special bonus for anyone who gets Think and Go Raw.

This is an extra technique added to the 33 strategies to crush cooked food addiction permanently, found in Think and Go Raw.

I must say this is truly a bargain. This is one of the best motivational techniques I have ever developed and you can have it at a bargain basement price at this link below.

Pastuerized Almonds To Be Labeled Raw

Pastuerized almonds are going to be deceptively labled as being raw.

This is a very good article on the subject.

http://www.newstarget.com/021776.html

Here's what Charlie Abel a leader in the raw food and fitness industry had to say about this forced almond pastuerization process.

I believe that what we're witnessing here is a prime example of the erosion of our freedom in America. It's been happening slowly, but surely, and now its touching each of your lives. I believe its only the tip of the iceberg, and a sample of unchecked government control getting out of hand. The first step in stopping this is to become aware of the problem, so I HIGHLY recommend that each of you go out and see the movie "America, Freedom to Facism" at www.freedomtofacism.com

Charlie Abel

I agree with Charlie and strongly recommend you see that movie to open your eyes to what's really going on behind the scenes.

No More Raw Almonds

California Almond Board To Cook All Almonds

The California Almond Board has decided to pasteurize all almonds. Needless to say I'm not for this policy as this process will in effect cook the almonds and therefore make them less than ideal. This new policy will eliminate almonds from the diet of raw foodists. At least California grown almonds which are the world's largets supply of almonds.

Here's an email sent from Living Tree Community Foods

Almond pasteurization protest

Dear Friend,

The
California Almond Board has passed a mandatory almond pasteurization order on
Friday, March 30th. It mandates that all almonds be pasteurized. This is a gross
insult to the live food movement and to organic farming.

The
enlightened and progressive California Certified Organic Farmers has the power
to contest this. Please write to Peggy Miars, Executive Director peggy@ccof.org.
Ask her to mobilize and protest. Speak from your heart and send us a
copy.

What Do I Have To Do To Get The CD?

You have to take a little bit of action, but I think you'll find doing this enjoyable, educational and inspirational.

I recently released my updated for 2007 version of Think and Go Raw. I have been working on improving the information on the page that promotes it. I've also added a really powerful bonus the Raw Food Warrior Technique that I've never before released to the general public.

As I was writing the letter describing Think and Go Raw I realized I was giving away valuable raw food and life success principles right in the very letter itself. I was giving away some of my secrets to success but only the perceptive would be able to unearth these principles from the page.

I didn't directly point out the success principles. They are hidden or imbedded in what I wrote but they are really there for you to use right now.

There are even some principles that aren't directly spoken about in the letter, but they are used in it. Only the truly perceptive will notice those. I might not even notice it myself on someone else's website.

No matter, whoever can come up with the most success principles in that letter, even if I didn't recognize them myself, will win themselves a free copy of Your First 30-Days Raw, and I also pay for the shipping in the United States or Canada.

How Do I Determine The Winner?

There's one other thing you need to do. You need to write your findings on your blog and then trackback to my post.

So just write a short post stating all the raw food and or general success principles you found on this page:

http://ThinkandGoRaw.com/book.htm

Make sure to list them: 1. 2. 3. etc. I'll choose the winner by the person who generates the most number of reasons and the quality of the answer. I believe there are at least five of those principles imbedded in the letter, if not more.

When you trackback or simply link back to my post I'll be able to see it on my blog. Here's the trackback link to include anywhere in your post:

http://roger-haeske.blogspot.com/2007/04/get-fre-copy-of-my-first-cd.html

Make sure it's a clickable link.

Most blogs are indexed by the search engines. At the bottom of my blog posts there's a link called "Links to this post".

You can check there if the link for your blog is has been picked up. From what I understand, it should show up within 24 hours or much less time than that. But I'm no expert.

If you don't have a blog but want one, you can use a free service just like I do with Blogger. Google automatically indexes all of their blogs because Google owns Blogger.

This is the quickest and easiest way to set up your own website and get it listed in the search engines quickly. This means you can start getting people from all over the world seeing what you have to say. It can be set up in less than 10 minutes.

Here's the link to start your own Blogger account in less than ten minutes.

http://www.blogger.com/start

What About 2nd and 3rd Place?

I'll also be giving away second and third place prizes. Anyone who I judge coming in second or third place, will get the downloadable version of Your First 30-Days Raw.

I bet you'll have a great time with this. Setting up a blog is really easy and it's a fun way to express yourself and your ideas. Every raw foodist should have their own blog. This way we can help spread the raw food message.

But also a blog can help to keep you accountable. You can post how you are doing with your raw diet on a daily basis. Some people have used this method to help them stay motivated and to make it easier to stay raw.

I urge you to get your own blog, I think you'll end up loving it.

Why You Can't Breathe Deeply!

Back when I was about 5 or 6 years old I was visiting my grandparents in Toronto and a startling thing happened to me. For the first time I noticed I had a hard time breathing.

Something was blocking the flow of my breathing. This bothered me so much that I was looking in the mirror, up at my nose to see what was blocking the passage way. What I saw was actually skin that was protruding out in the upper part of my nose. I was worried about this and told my mother. She basically said not to worry about it.

I didn’t like it, but I soon forgot all about it. Fast forward to when I switched to a diet of 100% uncooked fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds. Er, I mean a Raw Food Diet.

After less than a month of eating like this I was able to breathe deeply and effortlessly again. For most of my life I had forgotten what deep breathing was like.

Now I know that for me and many others eating cooked food not only poisons your body, but it also lowers your ability to intake a stream of mountain fresh oxygen.

At first I couldn’t believe the deepness of my breathing. Even when I was breathing indoor air, it felt like I was breathing air in a pristine pine forest up in the mountains. I also noticed that all the flem I had in my lungs completely cleared out.

Looking back, I think maybe I had a minor form of asthma. At least I certainly had an impaired ability to breathe. But going raw quickly cured that.

This kind of ease of breathing is great for any athletic endeavors. But it also does something else amazing, when you can breathe deeply you feel happier. Deep and natural belly breaths actually give you a natural high. I’d be willing to bet that you can’t breathe as deeply as you could unless you’re already eating a 100% raw food diet.

Your body recognizes cooked food as poison. This is has been scientifically proven many times and with many cooked foods. After you eat a piece of "good for you" whole grain bread, your white blood cell count will skyrocket.

Your body will also create mucus to help transport the poison out of your body. Thus the whole theory behind the classic book, “The Mucusless Diet Healing System.” Eat foods that don’t cause your body to produce mucus and you can live in paradise health. Some of the worst offending cooked foods are dairy products and grains. If you eat these foods, you'll never know what it's like to breathe properly.

If you want to know what it’s like to breathe truly deep breaths, then you’ll want the easiest way to thrive on the raw food diet. Think and Go Raw, the 2007 updated version will show you all the tricks you need to motivate yourself to go raw and without endless willpower.

By the way -- if you have to rely on willpower alone, you'll never succeed at staying raw for the long haul. You must learn the psychological strategies to grease your way to raw eating. Going raw doesn’t have to be a struggle, it can be as easy as sliding down a water slide, if you have the right ideas and the right training. Just one concept from my book, might be the one take you over the top to raw food diet success.

How I Squashed The Flu And So Can You!

Getting the flu sucks! One time I had the worst flu ever and it lasted 6 weeks. This was in the winter of 1997, during my first serious attempt at going 100% raw.

I used to get the flu about once a year. It's been over 6 years now since I've had the flu. Actually, I can't quite remember exactly how many years it's been. It could be more than six, but I'm sure it's been at least 6 years.

Who likes being out of commission, in bed with a fever, scratchy throat and constantly coughing and sneezing for a minimum of 1 to 2 weeks?

It's not my favorite way of getting time off. When you're self-employed, getting the flu is not only a miserable experience, but you're also losing plenty of money and opportunities.

This is true of employees as well but it's just harder to realize due to the benefit of sick days. But who do you think is going to get the first opportunity at a raise? The person who's sick for two weeks out of the year, or the person who never gets sick.

You'll simply be more valuable and productive to your employer if you don't get sick.

When I had my worst flu ever, in the winter of 1997, I was eating 100% raw.

Yes, that's right... I was 100% raw and I had the worst flu ever. Some of my raw food friends attribute it to the initial detox of going 100% raw, but I know now that wasn't why I had such a hard time overcoming the flu.

The reason I had the flu was because I was doing the raw food diet plain wrong. I was loading up on one kind of food as my staple that simply shouldn't be a staple.

After a month of eating like this, my body started changing. Every time I took a bite of this food at room temperature, it would send shivers down my spine. I was freezing all the time.

This is a fine raw food; I simply wouldn't make it something you'd eat on a daily basis as your main staple, for weeks on end.

This food has powerful natural cooling properties. This I found out in later readings, from several independent sources. One of those sources was the quasi raw nutritionist Paul Bragg.

It's crazy that I had to read this information somewhere else before I applied it in my own life. I should have known it from my own experience, but I was just too green when it came to eating a raw food diet to understand. I found out the hard way, through painful experience.

I was stubborn because I had faith in the raw diet no matter how much my health had deteriorated. But it wasn't the raw diet that was wrong, I just didn't know what the heck I was doing, even though I had read many raw food books.

So what is this food? Actually it's a whole category of food – citrus fruit.

I ate a ton of oranges in the winter of 97. They had really good oranges that year. I hardly ate any fatty foods because at the time they were hard for me to digest and because they weren't that interesting to me.

I barely ate bananas because at that time I didn't even realize that bananas are ripe when they start getting black spots on them. I had so much to learn about how to do a raw food diet in the right way.

But in my ignorance I blamed the raw food diet for my problems. I also thought that my body was damaged and couldn't do a 100% raw food diet. I held that thought for many years only to eventually realize I was wrong.

So why don't I get the flu anymore? It's simple. I eat an Optimal Raw Food Diet and do it correctly. This makes me much more resistant to colds and flues than the average bloke. It doesn't matter if you're around children all the time. I was a tennis pro, teaching children every day.

All that matters is that you eat correctly and do the seven other major things necessary for optimal health. I don't care how good your diet is, if you don't get any exercise, you aren't going to be healthy or reaching your full potential. Same goes for sleep, etc. It's not just about eating raw but about being healthy.

If you want to save years of trial and error in learning how to go raw, then I suggest you visit my coaching and support website, http://HowToGoRaw.com. If you want to avoid six weeks of the flu and all the other mistakes I made along the way, then I suggest you become a member.

I believe I have the best and most affordable training and support program to help you succeed with the Optimal Raw Food Diet. Coaching, mentoring and the support of like-minded people makes all the difference in the world.

Trying to make it by yourself with books alone is very hard. You need to be able to ask questions and get feedback. You need an expert coach there beside you when things seem to be going wrong and you're losing your faith in eating raw.

I can help you to pinpoint what isn't obvious to you. I can detect the subtle errors in your approach that a book just can't do.

Also keep in mind that if you join http://HowToGoRaw.com you'll also get my updated for 2007 version of Think and Go Raw. You'll learn my 33 strategies to crush cooked food addiction permanently! This is a $24.97 value and will really help you to make a painless transition to your natural diet, the Optimal Raw Food Diet.

HowToGoRaw.com gives you so much more. I can't possibly list all the great resources that you'll have at your fingertips. You'll learn quick, easy, hearty and delicious raw food recipes that you can make in 10 minutes. You get a whole library of educational raw food audios, ebooks and special reports.

This is the best way I know of to go raw besides having me live with you or give you personalized coaching.

Feel Like A Million Bucks

That's how I feel right now. Why you may ask.

For three reasons. Earlier today I reached a fitness goal I had set for myself on January first. When I reached that goal I shouted YAY and Hippee to myself. It felt fantastic. I boosted my self-confidence for the day. And after that I immediately set another higher goal.

But that was only a temporary satisfaction. The main reason I feel like a million bucks is because I just finished doing my bodyweight exercise routine the Lightning Speed Fitness Program. I actually feel a powerful natural high. It's like I'm on drugs but drugs with no negative side effects.

I literally feel like jumping for joy and you know what, I did just that. Jumping is a powerful way to build up your leg strength and speed. You're body is a powerful traveling gym.

Look for opportunities throughout your day to get fit. Take the stairs, park further away, run to the mail box, etc.

I'm just raring to go with energy and have to stop myself from exercising even more. I could be working out for hours because it feels so darn good. But I needed to share this feeling with you.

No matter, I'll just do more exercises as a break to my work. This is another great thing about Lightning Fitness, you can exercise just about any time and anywhere. Who needs to go to the gym when your body is the gym.

** I just took another quick exercise break and did two more sets of bodyweight exercises. I actually feel even better now. I'm breathing really hard but my natural high actually increased. Not only will you get a natural high, but you'll just have the best time while you're doing something powerful for your health and fitness.

Heck you can exercise while at work. There's no more excuse. You can get fit, even while you sit. You'd be surprised at all the powerful ways you can build up your body and do it without expensive and bulky exercise gadgets.

There's one more reason why I feel really good. It's my diet. I eat a 100% raw food diet. Before I started eating raw I went through 6.5 years of depression. But the first day I went raw, the depression went away. Six and half years of hell and all I had to do was eat at least 50% of my diet from raw fruits and vegetables.

If you too want to feel like a million bucks then I suggest you get off your behind and start moving and put your portable gym to work. The Lightning Speed Fitness Program will show you two powerful exercises that workout 95% of the major muscle groups in your body.

But I've included much more than just these two exercises. Beginners can start with those two and get fabulous fitness results. In fact, those two core exercises are already being used by top professional athletes all over the world.

Once you are ready, there's a whole library of other bodyweight, isometric, dynamic self and visualized resistance exercises to give you such an incredible pump you won't believe it. Check out my program here: http://LightningSpeedFitness.com

Don't forget the importance of diet and the other health factors. I highly recommend Dr. Doug Graham's Perfect Health Program for expert guidance on the Optimal Raw Food Diet. Imagine being able to attend 12 hour long lectures any time you want. It's like having Doug with you whenever you need some encouragement or inspiration.

It's a great way to inspire yourself daily to stay raw. Just listen to at least five minutes worth. Or listen in your car while driving to work. Doug's info will clear up so much of the confusion and myths people believe about raw eating. So take a look, if you're interested in achieving perfect health and feeling like a million bucks.

How to Increase Your Energy Levels By 50% In Three Days Or Less

Are you often tired, lethargic and feeling older than you should? Do you want to get more done and have the non-stop energy of a 7-year-old child? With this report, you'll learn my # 1 strategy increase your energy levels within the next three days.

Whenever I'm shopping or out walking in NYC, I notice, I'm always the fastest person by far. Everyone does things so slowly.

I literally move twice the speed of the average person and I don't use any stimulants. I'm not trying to impress anyone, I just have so much energy, that my body wants me to use it.

Question: What Bodily Process Uses The Most Energy?

Answer: Digestion

Digestion uses up the most energy out of all your bodily functions. For the average person it takes between 40 and 60% of your daily energy needs. You're brain is the next biggest user of energy. This explains why we often need to take a nap after a big Thanksgiving or holiday feast. We spend so much energy digesting, that the body needs to shut down the brain by putting you to sleep.

If you can lower your digestive energy expenditure from 60% to 40% or to even 30%, imagine how much more energy you'd have for your daily activities. What I'm going to show you will likely drop your energy expenditure on digestion from 60% to 40% and possibly even down to 30% because it's far from what the average person does. This would result in an immediate 75% increase in your energy levels.

By lowering the energy wasted on digestion, you can easily increase your energy levels by 50 to 75%. What you eat makes a tremendous difference in how much energy and time your body spends on the digestion process.

Certain foods are difficult to digest, the more processed, cooked, and complex the food, the more energy it takes to digest. The more kinds of foods you eat and the higher the quantity of the food, the more energy is drained in the digestion process.

Raw Fruit Is The Ideal Energy Food

Fruit is predigested fuel or simple carbohydrates which basically means sugar. Your body requires the least energy to digest fruit compared to any other kind of food. The former director of nutrition for the US Olympic Team said "Fruits are miracle foods for athletes."

Fruit provides your body with its ideal, cleanest burning and preferred source of fuel, which is glucose or sugar. Every cell in the body is fueled by sugar. After sugar the body prefers fat and the least efficient fuel source is protein.

The simple sugars contained in raw fruits are completely healthy. Most people don't realize that the body cannot directly use complex carbohydrates or starches. Those starches first have to be broken down into simple sugars. This breaking down process creates a much heavier energy burden and depletes energy from the body.

I remember when I first tried eating fruit for breakfast instead of cereal and toast. Wow was I running around fast on the tennis court. I couldn't believe how much more energy I felt than the previous day. I was like a 7 year old with non-stop energy.

Fruit is the most nutritious food on the planet. A diet rich in fruits and leafy green vegetables, supplies you with virtually all of your nutrient needs, even protein and the essential fatty acids. We all know that fruits and vegetables are the healthiest foods on the planet. So why not eat more of them?

Action Plan

Make fresh fruit your morning and lunch meals and watch your energy levels soar through the roof. Eat as much fruit as you need to feel full. You'll have to eat much more than an average person considers a normal serving of fruit. By lunch I've already eaten 8 to 10 bananas.

By following this eating plan, based on Nature's design, you should notice within 1 to 3 days an amazing increase in your energy levels.

Learning how to increase your energy levels is one of the most critical elements to feeling forever young and achieving your daily goals. When you have extra energy, you simply get more things done. When you get more things done, you're more likely to be achieving your goals and living your dreams.

That's one of the reasons I created the Lightning Speed Fitness Program: to teach you how to get massive increases in energy levels and how to mold your ideal body. In just 15 minutes a day and with only two types of bodyweight exercises, you can get into the most fantastic shape of your life.

You don't need to lift weights, you don't need to waste time travelling back and forth to a gym. You're body is the gym. All of those expensive infomercial exercise gadgets are a thing of the past. You can throw them out and make extra room in your home.

With the Lightning Speed Fitness Program, you can get a superior workout while travelling, or while at home or just about anywhere you have some floor space. And if you combine today's technique of eating lots of fruit with my Lightning Aerobics Energy Boosting Program, I know you'll feel your energy levels double, from where they are today.

Lightning Speed Fitness Program owners get full access to all the energy boosting details of "Lightning Aerobics" and so much more.

I encourage you to get a copy of the Lightning Speed Fitness Program - If you really want to double your energy levels and get back to your ideal bodyweight, then you owe it to yourself to check out what this training program can do for your life.

Click Here for more details (and testimonials).

You've just been given a very quick and easy way to increase your energy levels by at least 50%. All you have to do is start eating fruit for breakfast and lunch.

Logical Proof That The Zone & Atkins Diets Aren't Natural For Humans!

"What Is The Natural Diet For Humans?"

How do you know what diet to follow? Determining the right diet can be extremely confusing.

Every time you read a different diet book, the author makes a logical argument and seems to back it up with solid science. Each time I read a new book on nutrition, I thought this person had the answer. I had no sense of discrimination, most of these nutritional theories sounded plausible at first.

After much experimentation I found out these gurus were wrong more often than not. They all had some valid and useful information in their books but their actual diets didn't work.

So how do you know which diet to follow?

Are you like me and didn't know whom to believe? No matter how many diet books and theories I read, I still didn't have enough of an understanding to discern truth from falsehood. I remember reading and then doing the Zone Diet and later trying the Atkins Diet.

At the time of the reading, I was convinced that they were on to something. So I tried their diets. I wasn't trying to lose weight; I was looking for something to heal my depression, which these two diets claimed positive results with.

After trying the diets and really thinking about them, I realized they didn't work for me and they didn't make logical sense. My depression felt a bit better with the Zone Diet, but it didn't even come close to how much better I felt after eating a diet of at least 50% raw fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds. By switching to 50% raw foods, my 6.5 years of depression went away in one day.

With the Zone Diet, you are required to eat a ratio of 40% carbohydrates, 30% protein and 30% fat at every meal. The author claimed that early humans ate that way at every meal.

But after thinking about it and further study I realized how ridiculous a theory that was. Early humans ate whatever they could find and I'm sure it varied from meal to meal. They didn't even know about fats, carbohydrates and protein. They were nomadic and certainly didn't have a steady food supply. There is no way possible that these early humans ate 40/30/30 at every meal or even close to that.

If it was so hard for me to be able to eat 40/30/30 consistently at every meal, I know it would be impossible for early humans to attain this without any knowledge of calories, protein, etc. Most natural food sources wouldn't even come close to a caloric ratio of 40% carbs, 30% protein and 30% fat. Therefore, I concluded that the whole basis for the Zone Diet was false.

Later I learned there were many inaccurate scientific claims in that book. The problem with science is that it usually looks at the part and not the whole. So many nutritional theories are based on partial truths that aren't true when looked at from the whole picture.

It's so easy to fool people with diet books. Unless you have a deep understanding of nutrition, it's difficult to determine the truths from the falsehoods.

I tried the Atkins Diet and didn't last on it more than three days. I just felt horrible. Eating these high protein foods and not having fruit or carbohydrates felt terrible to me.

Everything felt dead and it certainly didn't help my depression at all. There is a fabulous electric energy from fruit. You can't get that feeling on the Atkins Diet because no fruit was allowed at all in the early stage. How could this be a natural diet, when so many supplements are needed? I soon realized for myself that the Atkins Diet wasn't even close to being the ideal diet.

Eventually I discovered "Fit For Life," and later the raw food diet. I went raw and had my best results by far. My health, energy levels, happiness and even clarity of thought improved by leaps and bounds.

The Easiest Way To Narrow Down The Diet Choices

This is really simple when you think about it. But since you've been eating this way your whole life, you may not have considered this idea.

Any diet that contains cooked food is not a natural or ideal diet for humans. No animals out in nature cook their foods, nor do they get the diseases that humans get. But for some reason our pets get the same diseases as us. It's because we feed them cooked food as well.

The cooking process damages vitamins and minerals, destroys enzymes and turns the food into a poison. In 1912, French chemist Louis Camille Maillard discovered what is now called the Maillard Reaction. Maillard was trying to discover the chemical substances that made the actual tastes in cooked food.

In one experiment he measured the types molecules in a raw potatoes. Then he boiled potatoes and discovered that by just boiling, 420 new types of molecules were created. These molecules never existed in natural and unadulterated foods.

In fact, when you cook, you are creating hundreds of thousands, if not millions of new molecules that the human body considers toxic.

One piece of strong evidence that the body considers cooked food toxic is leukocytosis. Leukocytosis is an excessive rise in the white blood cell count when a food is consumed that was heated between 120 and 190 degrees Fahrenheit. Dr. Paul Kouchakoff discovered this phenomenon in 1930. He conducted over 300 detailed experiments at the Institute of Clinical Chemistry in Lausanne, Switzerland, and he discovered some interesting facts.

1. After a person eats cooked food, his/her blood reacts immediately by increasing the number of white blood cells. This is well documented fact called "digestive leukocytosis."

2. Conversely, eating raw food did not cause a reaction in the blood. In addition, if a food had been heated beyond a certain temperature (unique to each food), or if the food was processed (refined, added chemicals, etc.), this always caused a rise in the number of white cells in the blood.

3. If however these same raw and unaltered foods were then heated, the person would then again experience a pathological rise in his/her white blood cell count.

Cooking also allows us to eat foods that aren't a natural part of the human diet. We couldn't eat grains without cooking them. Most people won't eat meat without cooking it. Most people don't find making a meal of raw broccoli appealing either. These are signs that nature did not intend us to consume these foods.

There is much more evidence of the damage of cooked foods including the latest findings in 2002 by Swiss studies on the creation of excessive levels of a carcinogenic substance called acrylamide in carbohydrate rich foods cooked at high temperatures.

Cooking is chemistry. Have you ever noticed how much an egg changes color and texture by being cooked? This is obvious visual evidence of the molecular damage done in the cooking process.

Cooking denatures proteins and caramelizes carbohydrates. Caramelization produces six different levels of chemical reactions in the sugar molecule. It has been well known for years that heated oils and fats are carcinogenic.

Why do you think the body seems to attack itself with autoimmune diseases? It's because we've built our bodies up with foods that are not natural to the human body and our body identifies these substances as toxic invaders. Most people switching to a raw food diet, quickly find their arthritis and many other illnesses no longer bother them.

I started getting arthritis in my mid twenties. Now I'm 39 years of age and haven't had any signs of arthritis in years. Age is not what causes arthritis but an unnatural diet.

Think About This

There are about 700,000 species of animals, all of which all thrive on raw foods exclusively. Only humans heat and cook what they eat. There are no gourmet restaurants, fast food joints or pizza parlors in nature.

You can never achieve perfect health while still eating cooked foods. No matter how good you feel now, you could be feeling better. Are you going to be healthier with more poisons or less poisons in your body?

Therefore, the answer seems clear. One of the first things to consider before you chose to eat food is whether or not it is raw or cooked. Raw fruits and vegetables plus limited quantities of nuts and seeds, are the most natural and healthy foods for humans.

If you want to start improving your health rapidly then consider gradually increasing the percentage of raw fruits and vegetables in your diet.

This is an absolutely beautiful and uplifting article by Sun-Rose, one of the members from our local raw food support group The Raw Health and Happiness Society. The article is excerpted from her newly published book called A Radiant Life.

I love what she wrote and how she wrote it. I wish I could write this well. I'm sure it is divinely inspired. If you aren't careful you'll miss the spiritual subtleties of the passage.

I remember quite well the meeting Sun-Rose was talking about. We're not just going raw for ourselves, but our example helps many hundreds and possibly thousands of people around us. I wish you all could have been at that meeting. We have some highly evolved souls who share their wisdom with us.

If you live or ever visit the New York City area then you might want to take a look at our local group's website: http://RawFoodNY.com. You can also sign up for email alerts for upcoming potlucks, meetings and other raw food and health related activities going on in the Metropolitan area.

Commitment by Sun-Rose

This came really clear in our raw food support group meeting last night, about how our purpose and commitment – or lack of it – can be a blessing – or a minus – not just to ourselves, but for all. We're not in this by ourselves – separate little egos wanting to be healthy and happy and gorgeous. What we're doing – being raw – is more about being conscious – alert, alive, awake and aware – than about healthy bodies. As Ralph pointed out in the meeting – the point is not only health but happiness.

Folks were sharing about being tempted by cooked or even junk food and giving in to it. – Commitment is a way to sail joyously through the sea of temptation. Commitment to what? To being a living blessing for others – not just for ourselves and our 'chosen' circle.

A larger purpose is always a tremendous help with commitment; perhaps because somewhere within consciousness we know that we have an Eternal Connection with everyone and everything. So when we aren't just doing this for ourselves, we get a wonderful support from the unseen Whole of Everything.

Temptation is only the little nasty voice (voiceunder) that loves to beat you up. First it puts on a sweet seductive voice, reminding you of how comfortable that baked potato is – how satisfying the pizza or whatever the poison is. And isn't this the same voice that says to the drug addict: "Time for another fix." – to the drinker: "Happy hour time!" – to the gambler: "This time you're gonna win big." – to the anorexic and obese: “junk time.” – and continues to whisper (although it's really a hiss): "Just one more (spin on the wheel, fix, drink, candy bar) ... "

As we're wrestling with our temptation, there may be millions of others wrestling – and our commitment may be the pivotal one in the world that either adds to giving in – or gives the strength to some or all of the others to say “No!” this time.

There was a church in seventeenth century Germany where all the members of the congregation had little stone lamps that they would bring with them, bearing a small candle inside. The service was in the evening, and the illumination of the church came from those candles. If the church was full, it glowed. If only a few members came, the light seemed faint and sparse.

We don't need lamps and candles. We are the Light, either hiding it under a bushel or – scary as it might be – letting it radiate forth.

Was Popeye Right?

*** Superbeing Secrets ***
Raw Food, Fitness & Self-Mastery

"Discover The Surprising Nutritional Content Of Popeye's
Power Food. Learn How To Get More Of It And How To Enjoy It!"

Have you signed up yet for the Green Cleanse we are
starting on December 11th? I highly recommend you learn
more about this. It's an easy way to improve your health.

The other day I was doing some research on discovering
which raw foods have the highest alkaline mineral content.
The major alkaline minerals are calcium, magnesium, sodium
and potassium. Any raw foods that are high in those
minerals will be alkaline forming.

As you may or may not know, it's very important to keep
your body properly mineralized and at the same time
functioning at the proper blood pH level of about 7.4.

Eating a cooked food diet will make you more acidic. Also
eating too much fat in the diet will make you more acidic,
because fat interferes with the body's ability to deliver
oxygen to the cells. Also nuts and seeds tend to be higher
in the acid forming minerals of chlorine, phosphorous and
sulfur. A high protein diet will also make you more acidic.

Keep in mind that it's also possible to be too alkaline.
The key here is the proper balance.

** A Common Mistake Many Raw Foodists Make **

A mistake I've noticed many raw foodists make is in not
eating enough mineral rich leafy green vegetables. This is
vital to your success. When you consume a high quantity of
mineral rich foods, you'll notice that your cravings for
cooked foods will go down dramatically.

We must eat lots of fruit to fuel ourselves, but fruit
alone is not enough for us to thrive in the long term. We
also need a food that is like a supplement, it's not high
in calories but it is high in nutrients. Dark, leafy green
vegetables are high in minerals, vitamins, fiber etc.

Finding a way to enjoy eating leafy greens and even more
important, finding a way to properly absorb the nutrients
from these foods is vitally important.

Victoria Boutenko and her raw family started seeing their
health deteriorate after many years of being raw. It turns
out they didn't really like eating greens. After extensive
research she eventually realized that the lacks of greens
in their diet was why their health was less than optimal.

In her book, greens for life Victoria talks about a way in
which anyone on any diet can improve their health. By
simply adding a quart of delicious green smoothies to their
diets.

On December 11th a new Green Cleanse is going to start
featuring extensive support and information from Victoria
Boutenko's research and experimental findings. This cleanse
is specifically for subscribers to my newsletter. Visit the

** Learn All About Popeye's Super Food **

The first food I analyzed for its alkaline mineral content
was celery. Then I analyzed spinach and found it was much
higher than celery in alkaline minerals.

In fact, spinach was high not just in minerals but in
virtually every major beneficial nutrient as well. Maybe
that is why Popeye was so strong when he ate his spinach.

Let me give you a quick rundown of the alkaline minerals
in 25-calorie servings of celery, spinach, kale, romaine
lettuce and banana.

Celery

Calcium: 62.0 mg
Magnesium 17.0 mg
Potassium 403 mg
Sodium 124.0 mg

Spinach

Calcium: 109 mg
Magnesium 87.0 mg
Potassium 614 mg
Sodium 87.0 mg

Kale

Calcium: 68.0 mg
Magnesium 17.0 mg
Potassium 224 mg
Sodium 22.0 mg

Romaine Lettuce

Calcium 48.0 mg
Magnesium 20.0 mg
Potassium 358.0 mg
Sodium 12.0 mg

Banana

Calcium: 1.0 mg
Magnesium 8.0 mg
Potassium 100 mg
Sodium 0.0 mg


As you can see, all of these green vegetables are alkaline
forming foods, but spinach is the overall winner. Even
celery is higher in alkaline minerals than kale is. That
was a surprise to me.

Spinach also has a better than perfect amino acid score of
119. Thirty percent of the calories from spinach come from
protein.

It's high in dietary fiber and its sodium is of course in
the organic form, which our bodies utilize naturally. It's
the inorganic form of sodium which is toxic to us and every
cell in the body.

** Sea Salt Is Not A Health Food, No Matter What You've
Read About It **

Sea salt or rock salt is not a health food no matter how
many unabsorbable trace minerals it has. If you drink a
glass of seawater you are going to get severely dehydrated,
drink enough of it and you'll die.

Why would consuming the salt, minus the water make it any
healthier for you? This is just another marketing gimmick
to get you to buy something which actually damages your
health.

Spinach is also very high in these vitamins: A, C, E, K,
B6, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin and folate. Spinach is
quite high in these other minerals as well: iron, zinc,
copper and manganese.

What many people don't realize is that per calorie,
spinach has over six times more potassium than bananas do.
In fact, most of the green vegetables I tested had a higher
potassium level per calories than bananas.

This is not to say you shouldn't eat bananas, it's just to
point out that we've been taught to think of bananas as the
highest source of potassium when they really aren't. In
fact, there are a number of other fruits that are much
higher in potassium than bananas.

** No Need To Worry About The Oxalic Acid In Raw Spinach **

Some people are concerned that they'll leach calcium by
eating spinach. It turns out this is quite unlikely to be a
problem for most people.

Here's a quote from Dr. Gabriel Cousens book "Conscious
Eating," on this very point.

"In one extensive study on children put on a high-spinach
diet and other high-oxalate foods, no evidence of any
alteration of calcium, vitamin D, or phosphorous metabolism
was found. It is possible, however, if a person has a low
calcium intake or poor calcium metabolism, that a high-
oxalate diet could cause a calcium deficiency."

Another factor is whether the spinach is cooked or raw. In
the raw form it's believed the oxalic acid will not bind
with the calcium. In other words, eat as much spinach as
you want as long as it's raw.

Did you know that many other raw foods naturally contain
oxalic acid? Foods like sesame seeds, nuts, citrus fruit,
tomatoes, asparagus, beets, Swiss chard, dandelion greens
and cranberries. So if you haven't been worrying about the
oxalic acid content in these foods, I don't think you need
to worry about it by increasing your consumption of spinach.

** How To Add More Spinach To Your Diet And Enjoy It **

I've been adding more spinach to my diet by putting it in
my smoothies. I've found that it doesn't change the taste
very much at all. And by blending the spinach in my
Vitamix, I make the nutrients from the spinach more
absorbable.

Most people don't take the time they need to chew
properly. Even if you are eating big salads, you are likely
not absorbing the nutrients from the vegetables well
enough, unless you've chewed every mouthful down to its
liquid form.

-------------------------------------------------
Banana, Blueberry and Spinach Smoothie:
-------------------------------------------------

3 ounces water. Add more or less depending on how thick or
thin you want your smoothie to be.

3 or more bananas

4 ounces of fresh or frozen blueberries

3 or more ounces of raw spinach

This makes for a delicious smoothie and at the same time
you are making sure to get extra mineral and nutrient rich
food into your body.

Salads, Blended Soups and Puddings and how and why they'll

You'll also learn in detail the scientific reasons why
this will improve your health. Make sure to read up on the
Roseburg study in Victoria's book, "Green for Life," which
you'll also get if you join our Green Cleanse. I think
you'll find the information on the chimpanzees fascinating
as well.

It doesn't matter what diet you are on, adding green
smoothies to your diet will improve your health and
happiness.
