| The next best thing to buying certified organic food is to buy fruits and vegetables at local farmer markets. Get to know local farmers who do not use pesticides on their crops. You can also purchase poultry and meat products made from chickens, sheep, and cattle that consumed nonpes-ticide feed and are free of hormones and antibiotics. Organic milk is now available as well.
Organic Is More Nutritious Than Other Food
One study compared the amounts of healthful and toxic minerals in organically and conventionally grown foods. |
| Because conventionally grown foods often contain toxins, buy organic whenever possible. If organic food is unavailable or too expensive, wash your food thoroughly before eating.
The antioxidant vitamins A, C, and E will combat damage from free radicals. Fresh fruits and vegetables are among the best sources of antioxidants, so have a couple of servings at every meal. For vitamin E, add wheat germ to salads, cereals, or juices. Nuts and seeds are other good sources of this vital nutrient.
The consumption of fish is very important. |
| If you cook meat and poultry at home, reduce your risk of food poisoning by keeping preparation areas sanitary and by cooking at high-enough temperatures. Eat organic food, if it is available. If organic products are not an option, at least wash your food with pure water to get rid of pesticides and other toxins.
Recommended Food
If you have HIV or AIDS, you absolutely must eat well. A good basic diet will include plenty of raw vegetables, seeds, nuts, grains, fresh fruit, and lean protein from quality sources. |
| To limit your exposure to pesticides, buy organic food wherever possible, and always wash your produce thoroughly.
Soy products and flaxseeds are good sources of phytoestrogens, substances that regulate the body's estrogen production.
Vitamin K will encourage proper blood clotting and may reduce an excessive flow of menstrual blood. Green vegetables are high in this nutrient.
Include sea vegetables like kelp (Ascophyllum nodosum) in your diet. These foods are high in iodine, a mineral that's necessary for a healthy thyroid. |

 The best is natural, organic food home-cooked or home-prepared with Love and consciousness or from organic restaurants based on such ideas.
Diet and the Mind
In Ayurveda it is established that certain foods affect the qualities of the mind in particular ways. These qualities or states of mind are latent in everyone. In Ayurveda they are divided into three categories, called gunas. Anyone who is in the physical body is subject to the subtle forces of the three gunas, which are called sattvic, rajasic, and tamasic. A sattvic state of mind is clear, peaceful, and harmonious. |

 All I did was stop buying food from the publicly traded corporations and started eating 100% organic food. Just by changing to "real food" without all the chemicals I lost 20 pounds! You are 100% right by saying the food companies are making us fat.
Kevin I'm sending you a small donation to help with this cause of greatness. Thank you very much. God bless you always.
Folks, I receive letters like this all the time. This gentleman sent me a wonderful donation, which I immediately gave to one of my nonprofit foundations to educate people about natural remedies and the corruption in government. |

| It identifies fresh, organic food produced by local growers who want to focus on what they are doing instead of what they are not doing. The concept of authentic goes right down to the fundamentals of how food was offered in the past. These principles are:
• All food is produced by the growers who sell it.
• Fresh fruits and vegetables are produced within a 50- to 150-mile radius of the place of their final sale.
• Seed and storage crops are produced within a 300-mile radius of their final sale. |

 I'm also excited about the organic food Bar, which is increasingly available everywhere. On the new company front, there's also Lydia's Organics which makes some outstanding dehydrated food bars that are simply the best I've ever found. I recently purchased around $60 worth of her food bars for some travel I had to do, and I couldn't have been happier. While everybody else on the airplane was suffering through foods loaded with sodium and additives, I was crunching away on Lydia's Organics food bars. |

 I pop it in the VCR, and I hear Barbara Walters asking, "Do you think organic food is healthier and safer for you, your family, and the planet? Millions of people do. But can they be wrong?"
Organics, I'm told, do not have higher nutrient levels, and are actually worse for us, than conventional foods. In fact, the report says, many ill- 5|* • nesses, even deaths, have been connected to the "nasty bacteria" that can be found in organic foods. Foods grown with chemicals, I'm told, are much less risky for our health. |

 Some of your bigger organic food supermarkets have it, as well as health food stores.
Mike: What's the retail price on this particular product?
Burt: It retails for $24.99, which is a month's supply. There are 33 servings in there.
Mike: It contains 33 servings?
Burt: We also have the single serving packets of them. There are 15 in a box, and let's face it -- today everyone is all about convenience. You just rip a packet open, you can dump it in your water and milk or whatever you like to drink. It's great for lunchboxes or after school. |

| This is why you must be eating 100 percent organic food. The multinational corporations are not interested in your health, but are only interested in their profits, and from my inside information I personally know that the food industry is purposely making us sick so that it can profit from the sale of drugs.

Another Needed and Recommended Book
Continuing on the theme of toxins in our environment, I want to recommend a book from a good friend of mine that offers you solutions. |
| This is why you must be eating organic food, but also why we need to fight and stop the use of these pesticides as they categorically 100 percent give us disease. These toxins are so powerful that it even shows in the documentation that it is proven that regular farmers who use pesticides and herbicides, in contrast to organic farmers, have more depression as well as cancer, birth-damaged offspring, and lower sperm counts. These chemicals, even in small amounts, cause disease. |
| This is why eating 100 percent organic food from small companies is a must. I continue to get thousands of e-mails every week from people who tell me they are amazed at how their health has dramatically changed after they stopped eating fast food and processed food, and simply changed to 100 percent food. When you stop putting all the poisons and chemicals in your body you can see dramatic health changes.

 Pregnant women should eat all organic food and avoid contact with any chemical cleaners or chemical pesticides during pregnancy.
PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls) are a toxin of industrial pollution that contaminates our food supply to this day. It is rapidly absorbed into white adipose tissue and will saturate breast tissue. Not only does this increase the risk for breast cancer in women with a particular genetic susceptibility, these poisons will readily enter the milk supply of the mother. |

Where the dollars flow, the largest corporations are sure to follow — and the inevitable question: how green is green going to be once Wall Street gets hold of it? The question hung heavy in the air, alongside the essential-oil fumes in the aisles of the world's largest trade show for natural and organic products. The Expo still attracts a diverse mix of small and owner-operated companies built on sweat equity and principles of social responsibility. |

The future tout court
When I give talks about my smell work, people occasionally ask me whether I think my vibration theory applies to other receptor-molecule interactions, such as those in the central nervous system. My answer is no, because I believe that the nose faces a unique task that has required what may turn out to be a unique adaptation: detecting any molecule that comes its way. |

 By applying for full certification with the California Certified Organic Farmers, the dining hall committed itself to serving 9 5 percent organic food at all times, and set a new standard for collegiate meal plans.
Farm-to-hospital: You're supposed to go to hospitals to get well, so why do most hospitals serve exactly the fare that makes so many of us ill? In the United States, 38 percent of hospitals have fast-food restaurants inside their cafeterias! In many cases, doctors and residents, some on twenty-hour shifts, can't get a healthy snack on the go. |
| We can buy organic food, use energy-saving lightbiilbs, drive hybrid cars. But even if we do all of those things, we are still probably sporting duds that support some pretty abominable practices. Unfortunately, buying an organic cotton T-shirt has less of an impact than buying an organic apple, as there are many more steps between the cotton field and the T-shirt we put on than there are between the orchard and the apple we eat. |
| With chapters on genetic modification, organic dairy, and everything in between, Lipson goes beyond simply explaining the benefits of organic food, to provide a plethora of resources for further reading on the organic-food movement. In her words: "If there is one thing the reader should take away, it is that we all have the power to create change that is felt at the highest levels. We do it with our choices every day and by sticking with those choices over the long haul. |
| How can you be sure your organic food is really organic? And how do you know whose pocket your money ultimately ends up in? The Organic Consumer Association and the Organic Trade Association both have abundant resources that help you learn some simple facts for better navigation of your grocery aisle. Here are a few tips to start you off: Be sure to read the ingredients list and not just the brightly colored ad box on the front of the package to learn which and how many of the ingredients are really organic. At the farmers' market, talk to the farmers and ask questions. |

| Unfortunately, there has been no research to show that washed or unwashed organic food has made a difference in lowering the MMA. One study, by Mozafar56 in 1994, has shown that when Bu analogues are placed in the soil with cow or human manure, the plants do absorb them. Unfortunately, many soils in the U.S. and around the world are deficient in B12. Many animals, aside from eating their own feces, will ingest a variety of eggs, insects, small vertebrates, or soils. For example, gorillas, who are the closest to vegan of all the species, will eat insects and sometimes their feces. |

 If they committed to finding the highest quality organic food, they would attract it, and not before.
The change must first come within you and then you will attract what you need.
Highly advanced beings in all fields walk the planet Earth, How do you meet them? How do you learn from them? You must learn to match their frequency and attract them into your life.
I have heard the stories of many people all over the world who persisted forward. They felt lonely, isolated by their diet and thus created that reality. |
| If one is more purified on a vegetarian or vegan diet and eating organic food, the detoxification may be more mild.
Just as it takes years for your tissues to become encumbered by improper materials, so too does it take years to dissolve and eliminate these improper materials. In general, I have found that it takes one month on a 100% Sunfood Diet to reverse one year on a cooked, toxic diet. So, for example, if one is 45 years young, then it will take 45 months to detoxify the body on a 100%
Sunfood Diet.
Every living organism strives always to remove obstructions and achieve perfect health. |
| Generally, restaurants do not serve organic food, but we have to do the best we can in each circumstance. I have found that the best approach is to intelligently avoid the situation altogether. Do something different. Business people are tired of doing the "standard business lunch." Take them to a juice bar or, where possible, a raw-food restaurant (see the Raw-Food Restaurants section at the back of this book). Take them to a park. Without food in the way, you can conduct business quickly and efficiently - this will save you the expense and time in your day. |
| By eating significantly more of all these foods, males will see a major increase in sperm count and females will experience a greater sex drive. (Eat organic food only. Pesticides, when absorbed into the body, end up in the sexual fluids; they decrease sexual vitality and cause sterility.)
THE MYSTERY OF SEX TRANSMUTATION REVISITED (SEEDS MUST LIVE)
1 Set a period of one month aside to use the power of sexual transmutation. For that one month eat no nuts, seeds or eggs of any type. |
| In my experience it is totally worth paying even three to four times as much money for organic food.
Vitamin B12
Although animal and dairy products are a source of vitamin B12, the natural soil microbes and bacteria found on wild food, unwashed garden plants, in earthy soil and also those supplied by plant fermentation, are typically adequate to supply some vitamin B12 needs. |

| Heart disease is also strongly aided by the vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients found in superfoods, whole foods, and organic food concentrates that you find in nutritional supplements. If you want to prevent Alzheimer's disease, simply avoid all excitotoxins such as MSG and aspartame. Make sure you avoid mercury and aluminum by avoiding toxic chemicals in personal care products such as deodorants and shampoos that are made with toxic fragrance chemicals. This also includes laundry detergents and anti-static dryer sheets that are loaded with fragrance chemicals. |

| Set a level of raw, organic food consumption that is appropriate and realistic for you now.
When you reach a stable level of 95% raw, it will be fantastic. You may experience that the body eventually starts to push towards letting go of all cooked foods in the diet - and this is in the natural course of things. After many years on a high-raw, but not all-raw diet, the body becomes more refined and goes into an immediate "detox mode" as soon as any cooked food is ingested, leaving one functioning at less than optimal capacity. |

 I do not use any pharmaceutical drugs, I eat organic food, and I do all the things that a person can do to be exceedingly healthy. If everyone were like me, the doctors would not make any money, so they do not want people to be like us; like you and me, Mike. They want people to be sick and go to doctors who are writing prescriptions for their drugs.
Mike: They actually depend on the continuation of sickness and disease in order to create repeat business, right?
John: Yes, exactly. They have a business with disease. |

 And only the very rich can afford it, the fruits of this work; the minorities don't eat organic food in the United States.**
I had seen confirmation of this a few hours earlier, and indeed, as Altieri flowed on:
In California, 2 percent of organic producers make 50 percent of the total amount produced by the industry in this sector; I use the term "industry" advisedly: we are facing the same problems as conventional agriculture. |
