Monthly Reading #4 (September 2008) Live Food Nutrtion

Rainbow Green Live Food Cuisine, Chapters 2 and 5, established the “Live Food Nutrition” scope of the readings for the month. According to the information presented, the calorie paradigm of 1789 is completely out of date or at minimum, is incomplete and the medical community may be in grave error for ever having endorsed cooked food. It is the wholeness of a food that is crucially important. It is the wholeness of raw foods which is health-producing and non-reproducible by science. Science does not fully understand why a raw-food diet is so effective, but it is clear that the whole is greater than the sum of the parts.

In the reading, Dr. Cousins discusses preventing the “composting” of western civilization and points to the health-promoting attributes of live foods. Chronic degenerative disease seems to be caused by a deranged biological terrain, especially from foods high in sugars, flesh foods, grains, and dairy. Cooking or other forms of processing destroy qualities and components of our food for which the significance is not yet, or perhaps never will be, known in its totality. Not only do live foods avoid the problems with cooking (leukocytosis), live foods provide phytonutrients, enzymes, and subtle organizing energy fields. Live foods offer a natural way of calorie restriction with optimum nutrition. How we eat even affects our gene expression; activator genes are given optimal phenotypic expression with fresh organic live food.

A great deal of information was given about the attributes of enzymes. Enzymes are not simple chemical catalysts, but vital life forces that initiate a host of biochemical interactions (digestion, nervous system, detoxification, RNA/DNA repair). There are about 50,000 different types of enzymes. The body’s capacity to make enzymes, however, is exhaustible. Hence you find a lower enzyme count in the elderly, and those that are sick or afflicted with chronic disease. Live foods bring their own living enzymes to the body so it does not have to dip into its limited enzyme reserve.

I am quite interested in the electrical theories provided in the readings about live food:

• Organisms are made of patterns of resonant energy. We are proverbial live wires. Subtle nutrients enhance electrical potential with micro-capillary charge (Dr. Israel Brekhanan)


• There is an ultra weak photon emission from living systems and a discernable coherence in 97% of DNA (Dr. F.A. Popp)


• Live foods are able to awaken inert molecules by the give or take of electrons (high redox potential). Electroluminescence is demonstrated in Kirlian photographs (Nobel laureate Szent-Gyorgyi)


• We can raise our micro-electrical potential (Professor Hans Eppinger)


• Electron rich foods act as solar resonance fields in the body to attract, store, conduct the sun’s energy in our bodies. (Dr Joanna Budwig)


• Processed foods may act as insulators to electricity (Dr. F.A. Popp)
  

So we are light beings. At the micro level, we are human photocells; our cell metabolism acts as a battery. All of our cells are fully charged with light (or electricity) when healthy. The ultimate bio nutrient is light. Light is the umbilical cord to the universe. Food with light brings that light into our bodies. Live foods bring light.

Light and consciousness are interconnected. The more conscious we become, the more we become that light. Food deeply and radically affects the way we think, feel and behave. The virtue of beauty is a function of inner cleanliness or light. The more perfectly clean or light your body, the more perfectly it will radiate the super-natural powers of an extraordinary human being with unlocked dormant powers.

That is the “secret” of conscious eating.

The secret of conscious eating, or the spiritual implications of the living foods lifestyle excite me most about this month’s reading. “We live in an environment of excessive stimulation, empty calories and negative thoughts. We are a country of overabundance in which overeating has become a major way of avoiding unwanted feelings such as intimacy, sexual desire, loneliness, feeling unloved, and anger. It can also be a form of self-sabotage and self-abuse, as well as a slow form of suicide. Overeating food has become one of America’s most serious addictions.” (Conscious Eating, p. 532)

Living foods provide prana to the body and mind, allowing us deeper perception of Truth and Oneness. “To heal oneself requires the ability to love oneself enough to have the intention to reconnect with the Culture of Life which is our birthright. In that way we perform an Act of Love for oneself as an individual person, and as part of the living planet. This results in the healing of the planet and all species. The healing of diabetes in this context is an Act of Love, Compassion, and Consciousness.” (There is a Cure for Diabetes, p. 359)

On a practical level, the optimal diet apparently is one that is organic, vegan, at least 80 percent live-food, high in mineral content, 15-20 percent plant-only fat (no animal fat), high-fiber, low-glycemic, low-insulin index, well hydrated, individualized, and prudent food intake ... a cuisine that is sustainable for the duration of one’s life, and prepared and eaten with love.
