THE REGENERATIVE DIET - Part 1

by Dr. John Christopher

"Natural food should be eaten in moderation
and in simplicity.

"The fruits are especially good for cleansing
the system after your night's fast during sleep
and it will satisfy the need and craving for sweetness.
The green herbs of the garden, used fresh
and tender in salads and chewed well,
will build strength and vitality into the body tissues.
The bulbs, roots, and starches in grains will provide
fire and heat for the body, but these should be eaten
only as needed for the more strenuous physical labors.
The sprouted seeds are nourishing tonics to restore
the body constitution and in resisting ill health.
The nuts of the trees will provide the nutrient "meat"
(protein) for man and will season other foods.
The culinary herbs will provide variety, flavor,
and seasoning as nutritional agents. And in the whole
of your daily activities, you must achieve a varied
and harmoniously-blended whole: fresh air, sunshine,
exercise, work play, song, prayer, reading,
meditation, recreation, etc.

"More people have died of malnutrition, suffocation,
constipation than from all the wars, automobile
accidents, earthquakes and fires to date. Yet,
you seldom hear of it, and the poor, suffocating
and victimized organ that gives out is generally
given the official blame. When we speak of
constipation, we usually think of only the lower bowel
area, but this is only a small part of it. The entire body
is composed of flexible systems of tubing, much like
that of the intestines. It is of varied sizes, some of
which are even smaller than a hair. Life has
equipped the body structure with these rubber-like
pipes of all kinds and sizes, from the largest intestine
(which can expand to a terrific size) down to the arteries,
veins, and minute capillaries; and though the capillaries
are smaller than hairs, they are perfectly constructed
and pliable; but when they are not properly provided
and cared for, they age like an old rubber hose
and eventually break at the weak spots. This is the case
in varicosity, as the taut life-line gets clogged up like lime
inside the household plumbing. At times the mucoid
matter forms a hard lining in the bowel so that the peristaltic
action ceases, and this solid shield inhibits peristaltic action
upon the feces materials. We have seen this mucous lining
taken from patients that appeared like hard, black plastic,
shaped to the curvature of the colon walls. And, as you
progress in this program, do not be surprised to see some
of these linings coming from your body also. Usually
a person takes little notice of constipation and, instead of
getting at the real cause, just starts using laxatives, enemas,
bulk and volume remedies to break a passage through for
temporary relief. When constipation goes throughout the
entire body, and when it becomes extra bad and congested
in one area, the discomfiture will grow until a peak of pain is
reached, and this is really the nature of what we term "disease."
Do not allow yourself to become confused with thousands of
seemingly-sophisticated medicinal terms; just remember that
there is only one disease, and that is systemic constipation.
This mucus constipation will back up not only in the arterial
structure, but also into the cells and tissues; and it can
become so severe that it will eventually bring the entire
system to a standstill. Where does all of this mucus, sludge,
and waste come from? It is from those thinks that we eat
with our eyes and taste-buds, from what we put into the body
and incorrectly call "food".

"To make the change from an imperfect, mucus-filled body
to one of health, the taste buds will be a big factor with many,
while with others, it will be fear. We have heard persons say,
"Why, I enjoy the type of food I am used to, and I would
rather risk ill health than change." Well, at that moment,
they have made the choice of living to eat, instead of eating to live.
The average individual has grown up on the "great American diet"
of meat, potatoes, and gravy, and is naturally prone to panic
at the very thought of missing a meal--let alone fasting a few days,
and he is deathly afraid that he will starve to death. The truth
is that very few persons ever starve to death, but die first from
fear and panic. There are persons who have gone over a hundred
days without food and over two weeks without water and lived,
so missing a few meals will be most beneficial in a positive approach.
Anything that is worthwhile cannot be had without some sacrifice,
and though abstinence from food or from indulgence in over-eating
may seem like a sacrifice and a burden, the supposed "sacrifice"
will be realized as a blessing instead after the goal has been reached.

"Proper low heating of some fruits and vegetables will bring out
the natural low-heating or steaming a short while. If overcooked,
they become yellow, strong and unfavorable. There is an enticing
and savory sweetness in squash, pumpkin, and apples when baked
just right and not too much. And the sour lemon, as an extreme example,
can be "ripened" with dry heat to be as sweet as an orange, yet when
it is heated a bit more, it will turn bitter. The reason for heating foods
is to get the benefit and value of the natural grape sugar. Not only that,
but it will be much easier for those who are culturally-accustomed to
eating cooked foods for so many years."

------------------------------------------------------------

There are a plethora of delicious fruits and vegetables available. They
are capable of providing you with the maximum nutrition possible.
Along with this they are also easy to assimilate and digest and thus
to utilize for their purpose... feeding the body. So many people are
inadvertently suffering from a clogged up body. They don't want to
face the facts of their health until the last minute and then they are
screaming for any solution possible. In this society people do not seem
to look into the future and are primarily concerned with instant gratification.
Why is this? Because they are unable to relate with things like disease
and terrible health if they have no experience with it. Then once a traumatic
health condition occurs they will do anything. But if some time and
discipline is used (2 SHORT WEEKS), years of destructive activity can
be counteracted!

Think about it this way. If you had taken the time to clean and detox your
colon a month ago you would be far better off now. Sure, you would have to
have done the juicing, taken the herbs, eaten the salads and gone to
the restroom... BUT YOU WOULD BE FINISHED! If you start now you
can be saying these very words in a month for now... I DID IT!
The longest distance in a journey is the first step... the rest is easy.

Decide to take the first step, then do it. You'll be glad you did.
