 Tree of Life Rejuvenation Center in Patagonia, Arizona, also a raw food enthusiast and a spiritual... how would you describe yourself?
Cousens: Teacher, physician of the soul.
Mike: There you go. Thank you so much for taking this time.
Cousens: It's a delight to speak to you. I really appreciate the interview because your questions were so thoughtful and perceptive, so thank you. |

 My feeling and my experience is that balance begins with the right kind of nutrition and essentially, part of our diet should be raw food or natural food from the earth that has not been tampered with and therefore, we're connected to the earth directly.
Mike: You mention nature's balance here, and I want to take that one step further. Do you think this bird flu pandemic rises out of how we treat chickens and animals, the way we raise them in cages and deny them sunlight, air and good nutrition? Is that a fair statement?
Wolfe: I would say that's a fair statement. |

 So you simply get more health-enhancing food for your dollar.
This company is a great find! It was founded by a registered nurse (R.N.) / Natural Foods Chef named Alice Benedetto. Check their website (below) to read her full story.
I sure love these food bars. The brain-enhancing oils found in the raw nuts are good for everyone, but especially children who almost never get enough healthy oils. I'm ordering several boxes of these bars in various flavors so I can hand 'em out to friends. Five stars.

 With this decision, the Almond Board of California seems surprisingly out of touch with the California lifestyle, which is significantly based on fresh, raw food products like limes, avocados and almonds. The living foods / raw foods movement in the United States is largely a product of the natural California lifestyle, and yet the Almond Board seems to have no hesitation in intentionally mislabeling its cooked almond products as raw, misleading consumers into thinking they're buying live almonds when they aren't.
This isn't something that's being covertly pursued, either. |

 I read about everything: nutrition, raw food, juicing, kombucha tea, herbal medicine, yoga, Hulda Clark and Max Gerson and other alternative healers, ozone therapy, chelation, hypnotism, psychotherapy, the I Ching, and countless other therapies and schools of thought. For the most part, each group presented persuasive arguments to support their point of view. The raw foods people said that because we evolved from apes we should be eating only raw vegetables and fruits. The blood-type people said that your diet should be designed to work with and support the characteristics of your blood group. |

 In Phase 3, you eat primarily raw food, as our earliest ancestors did. For them, the opportunity to consume meat and other animal sources of protein was not a daily event; they relied instead on plant protein, consuming most of it raw. Eating food raw preserves more of the micronutrients, although there are excep-tions-notably the lycopene in tomatoes, which is more bioavailable in cooked tomatoes. Another benefit of raw food is that it is considerably more bulky than its cooked counterpart. A bag of spinach reduces to just a couple of serving spoonfuls when sauteed. |
| But I will tell you that after even a couple of days on the lecture circuit away from my own kitchen and favorite restaurants, my cravings for raw food, especially salads, become intense.
My most successful patient volunteers, meaning those who permanently change their body and blood chemistry, do so by evolving to a diet that is at least 60 percent raw food. Should you eat mainly raw? That's your decision. Again, do what you can, with what you have, wherever you are. |

 If you ever want to see a bunch of people with a really vibrant, healthy glow in their skin, just go to a raw food group. Those who have been eating raw foods the longest will probably have the best skin.
But most of the world isn't going to convert to raw foods, so most people need external nutrition for their skin, and in that case, I think this Lluvia product line is the very best I've found yet. If you're going to put something on your skin, let it be this. |

 In fact, a raw food diet with lots of fresh vegetable juices is just the thing for her. (This clinician couldn't sleep last night, and happened to watch a high-energy infomercial on the benefits of juicing. He is gung-ho to do this for himself.)
After a few days on the new regimen Donna again feels more energy, but she notices that now she is experiencing a lot of gas and distension after meals. Hearing good things about another practitioner, Dr. Tom, who does muscle testing for allergies, Donna decides to see what Dr. Tom can do for her. According to Dr. |

 Many raw food proponents are now drinking a combination of raw almond milk and raw goat's milk kefir. That's a combination I'm enjoying, too. It's good to have a balance of both plant and animal-based milks, but only if they're from ethically treated, naturally raised animals who are not exposed to antibiotics, toxic chemicals or conventional veterinary care (which is all based on chemicals, just like human health care).

 And finally, raw food enthusiasts say the diet is earth-friendly because the use of paper and plastic for processing is minimal.
TIPS FOR GOING RAW
At the end of this chapter, you will find a number of raw foods recipes designed to help with specific health conditions. All of these recipes are excellent for making fresh juices as well. When using these or other raw foods recipes, there are a number of general principles to keep in mind.
Shred vegetables either in a food processor or by hand, fresh for each meal. Use a blender for soft foods such as fruits. Do not store them for later use. |

 The last time I visited, I ended up buying a hundred dollars worth of raw food snacks. Thanks to Whole Foods, my monthly food bill now nearly exceeds my house payment! But I love every bite of it, and if it wasn't for this natural grocery chain being in Phoenix, I think I would literally have to move to California or Boulder, Colorado just to get near one.
But don't walk around blindly in a Whole Foods supermarket, buying up everything in sight under the assumption that it's all healthy and good for you. |

 In order to make sure that won't happen, raw food ingredients are processed at very high heats. This causes grains, fruits, and vegetables to lose most of their vitamins, minerals, and fiber, as well as other nutrients. Preservatives are then added in order to prevent germs from proliferating in the food while it sits in the jar or package on the supermarket shelf. That way, your food won't spoil or be covered with mold when you tear open the plastic packaging a week or a month or even a year down the road. |

 The majority of interviewees concurred that more raw food was essential to the good health of cats and dogs. raw food was more nutritious and could be better digested. raw food contributed to the increase of enzymatic activities within the gut and bowels of such animals, making them look and feel healthier. raw food strengthened the immune systems of such animals, enabling them to ward off infectious diseases more easily.
Also, raw-food diets prompted animals to eat less. |

 They take a perfectly healthy piece of raw food, loaded with vitamins and natural medicines, then nuke it in the microwave and destroy most of its nutrition. Humans are the only animals on the planet who destroy the nutritional value of their food before eating it. All other animals consume food in its natural, unprocessed state, but humans actually go out of their way to render food nutritionally worthless before eating it. No wonder humans are the least healthy mammals on the planet. |

 So now let's talk about a fabulous way to get most of the benefits of fruits and vegetables, plus the benefits of live enzymes contained in raw food. A terrific way to get a superpotency multiple vitamin and mineral "supplement" every single day without taking a single pill. A superb solution to the "I don't have time to cook" problem or the "I hate vegetables" complaint.
It's called: Juicing.
Look, let me be honest. I start every single day—and I mean every day, 365 days a year—with freshly made juice. |

 The concept of taste balancing, shared with the Tree of Life Cafe by our former master chef, Chad Sarno, has been incorporated into our program for making gourmet, multi-cultural raw food. Taste balancing is a major key to preparing delicious food. It supports wholistic food preparation that celebrates the balance of flavors and the balance of feeding each body, from the emotional body to the spiritual body, with intention. When we feed people's physical, emotional, and spiritual bodies with comforting food, it creates balance in a variety of ways. |

 New Raw Revolution Bars
The next "steal" I spotted is a steep discount on a new raw food bar that's so outstanding, I've written it up in a feature story to be published later this week. It's called the "Raw Revolution Bar" and it's available in a variety of flavors, including cashew, coconut, chocolate, spirulina and raspberry chocolate.
These raw food bars are simply outstanding in every way: They taste great, they're made with pure, organic, raw ingredients, and they contain absolutely no junk (like high-fructose corn syrup, soy protein, etc.). |

| This taste change most commonly happens when eating raw food. Think about it: It is not usual to overeat a salad. Eating a processed, cooked diet laden with excitotoxins (such as MSG) provides the double insult of low nutrient density combined with the supersensory stimuli of artificial flavorings, driving body and mind to continue to ask for food long after our calorie needs would have been satisfied by a tasty nutrient-dense meal. |
| The Culture of Life plant-source-only, 80-percent raw food diet is the primary foundation of the program and the herbs and supplements are secondary foundations that accelerate and support the healing.
A most important key to the success of the program is its sustain-ability. My clinical results with the use of live foods and green juice fasting leave no doubt that we can rapidly and safely take people off insulin and oral hypoglycemics with very rapid returns to a healthy FBS. |

 The initial boost in energy and vitality after going on a raw food diet is not due to the vitamins; it is rather caused by the sudden mobilization of the immune system which tries to counteract the massive influx of enzyme inhibitors and antibodies contained in the food. In time, the digestive system becomes increasingly dependent on large supplies of vitamins and minerals. And when suddenly there are not enough of them in the food we eat, the body begins to suffer from what is generally called a vitamin or mineral deficiency, which is just another word for weak digestion. |

NATUROPATHY
Diet: Most sufferers of this condition experience loss of appetite. Try to eat several small meals throughout the day to avoid irritating the gastric mucosa. Eat plenty of soluble fiber such as oats and oat bran, dried beans and peas, barley, apples, and flaxseeds. Soluble fiber has been shown to repair the gastric mucosa. Drink at least 5 cups of cabbage juice (made by blending cabbage and water) a day to heal the gastric mucosa. You can mix it with water or carrot juice if preferred. |
