"In the past fifteen years I made several trips to the large cities of India to set up healing camps with doctors and government administrators there.  Hundreds of people with all sorts of problems – from heart disease and cancer to leprosy and malnutrition – were admitted to these camps.  The patients stayed in the camp and ate sprouts, wheatgrass, and other living foods until they recovered."

      "The recovery of starving children who were placed on a diet combining sprouts and fruits was truly amazing.  In less than thirty days, their sores and scars disappeared, and abdominal swelling was in every case reduced to normal.  Above all, these children became able to run and play, instead of having to be carried around."

Lose Weight Naturally

Are you obsessed with going into every photocopy shop?  No, because there is nothing there you want.  So why do cake shops or hamburger joints give you so much angst?  Because they have something you desire.

When you don't want it, you don't even notice the front door.  You walk past.  You're free!

For nearly 30 years of my life (1966-1994) I was addicted to sugar – first as alcohol, then as cake, chocolate and soda when I got sober.  Not go into the cake shop?  You're kidding.  I had to go in even if I were stuffed to the hilt.  I had to destroy myself, didn't I?

We think it's psychological – we're weak-willed.  Or it's in our genes.  Or we're switched to self-destruct because of something that happened in our childhood (for me it was my father's sudden death in an accident and my 15-year-old brain computed life wasn't worth living if it could be snuffed out in an instant).

Baloney!  It's got little to do with psychology or genes.  And everything to do with balanced biochemistry.  When your biochemistry is imbalanced, you over-eat.

When your body-mind is balanced, biochemically, you don't binge. You eat whatever you like as much as you like, and what you like is nourishing and gives you energy and peace.

Your biochemistry will balance itself with living greens and alkaline water. For the first time in your life, you see light at the end of your tunnel.

All desire for junk food falls away from you, like leaves from a tree in autumn.  You pass a cake shop, and it's like passing a photocopy shop.  You don't even notice it.

Dr. Ann Wigmore (D.D., N.D.) – the doctor who discovered the power of blended sprouts and greens – writes in The Sprouting Book:

"With the Living Food Lifestyle, there is an average weight loss of four to fifteen pounds per week ... Easy-to-digest, nutritious, and cleansing sprouts, greens, and other living foods are the key. ... The pungent, cleansing sprouts radish, fenugreek, cabbage, alfalfa, and clover are especially good for weight loss."

Heal Heart Disease Naturally

When surgeons pull the sausage-like blockage out of the artery with tweezers and send it to the lab for analysis, it always comes back tabbed "saturated fat and cholesterol" – never "broccoli sprouts."

Plants have NO cholesterol, and only a few tropical plants have saturated fat (like cocoa, palm nut and coconut).  All plants have healthy polyunsaturated fats to keep your arteries supple.

Heart disease is reversible.  Even blocked arteries can be unblocked with fresh plant foods.  Please read any book by Dr. Dean Ornish, who heals heart disease with a plant-based diet, meditation, exercise and group therapy.

Wouldn't you agree that the best plant to eat is a freshly picked organic one?  With my automatic Sprouter, you can easily grow fresh plant foods every day, in your kitchen!

As for the little blood clots that are the final cause of a stroke or heart attack, Doctors Lopez, Williams & Miehlke (all M.D.'s) report in Enzymes, the Fountain of Life (Neville Press, Charleston, SC, 1994):

"the Enzyme Research Institute has demonstrated in countless double-blind studies ... that oral enzyme mixtures are able to dissolve the little clots referred to as microthrombi and normalize the blood flow equilibrium." (ch.14)

Enzymes are the workers who perform the magic of chemistry in all living organisms.  They join molecules or split them up.  Molecule by molecule, enzymes string us together!

When plants are still growing as you eat them, they're rich in living  enzymes, busy as bees.  Only home-grown sprouts are alive and growing and dancing with enzymes.  Sprouts in the store are dead – look at their oxidized brown roots.  As for enzyme capsules – how alive are they when you know they won't grow if you plant them?

Enzymes break down fat deposits and clean out your arteries.   Drs. Lopez, et al. show how easily plant enzymes are absorbed through your intestinal wall, ready to go to work instantly.

If you're at risk for heart attack, please try the enzyme-rich Energy Soup recipe with living greens from a Sprouter.

Healing Cancer Naturally

Previously a 1994 study had shown that sulforaphane reduces cancer development by 60-80%.

Well!  At last the scientists catch up with the late Dr. Ann Wigmore, who used sprouts to heal cancer way back in the 1960's.

That is not to say you can buy a tub of broccoli sprouts at your local supermarket, and never get cancer.

Dr. Wigmore's living foods diet includes blended sprouts and living greens grown at home, fermented seed yogurts and milk, cookies made with sprouted grains, and green drinks especially wheatgrass juice – follow the links for what to do and how.

With this program, the late Dr. Ann Wigmore was one of the most successful naturopathic doctors in the U.S., possibly in the world, for healing cancer.

An excellent patient's book is Eydie Mae's How I Conquered Cancer Naturally (Avery Publishing, 1992).  When Dr. Wigmore helped Eydie Mae, she had not then discovered the Energy Soup recipe – so Eydie's book focuses on juicing sprouts and greens.  In later years, Dr. Wigmore found that blending was quicker and it worked better.

Dr. Neal Barnard, M.D., reports in Foods Can Save Your Life (Magni Group, McKinney, TX, 1996):

"In 1982, the National Research Council released a technical report, Diet, Nutrition, and Cancer, showing that diet was probably the greatest single factor in the epidemic of cancer."

You'll find it easy to switch to a clean diet with my delicious and simple recipes (I'm not a kitchen lover, so all my recipes are instant!).

Dr. Kristine Nolfi in Denmark cured her breast cancer with living foods.

"Being a medical doctor, she put her experience to good use in helping thousands of other cancer sufferers to gain similar remissions," Joe Alexander writes in Blatant Raw Foodist Propaganda! (Blue Dolphin Publishing, Nevada City, CA, 1990).

Natural Healing for Children

Energy Soup cured my ear infections, which flared up repeatedly for thirty years from my teens.  Those ear-aches had me sitting in the emergency rooms of hospitals for countless hours!

I ate Energy Soup for my toothache, and it healed my ear as well!  Today I grow fresh food in my kitchen, and dentists and ear-ache are totally a thing of the past.

With asthma, too, many authors write that a healthy whole foods diet takes away the need for drugs, sprays and other bronchodilators.

Ron Roberts reports on his experience, in Asthma: An Alternative Approach (Keats Publishing, New Canaan, CT, 1996).  Ron was severely asthmatic from the age of eight, then improved his health so much he ran a full marathon without breathing problems: 

"The most effective ways to treat your asthmatic condition are to revitalize your immune system with good nutrition, decrease the toxins in your body, avoid allergy triggers and conditions and exercise regularly ... if you eliminate asthma triggering preservatives and additives from your diet, eat nutrition loaded foods and increase your fluid intake, you will feel better." 

Children love sugar.  So I'd make their Energy Soup as sweet as they want it.  Best is soaked dried fruit like figs, raisins, dates or currants.

Or use apple juice concentrate (high in pectin to help flush out unwanted toxins and metals) or the grain malts as sweeteners – brown rice syrup, barley malt and amasake.  They don't destroy your child's mineral balance (as refined sugar does, it leaches minerals out of bones).

The grain malts (not a raw food) also have the nutrients of whole grains (like chromium, a national deficiency in the U.S.) and their complex sugars take longer to digest – so there's not the blood sugar highs and lows you get with other sweeteners.
