How to Make the Change to a Raw Foods Diet
By Paul Nison
I wrote this book to give support to anyone who decides to improve the quality of his or her life. The information in this book is true and correct, based on factual evidence, unless otherwise noted. I do not claim to know all the answers or everything there is to know about health. Rather than blindly accepting common beliefs, I have made every effort to be faithful to the laws of nature. They are there for all of us to learn, and once you accept them, life becomes simple.
This book will help you to learn about health. I will explain to you how to strive to be as healthy and natural as you can be, fearless about health, life and nature. The book will help you to achieve these goals, while having fun in the process.
The raw way of eating goes back to man's first days on earth. There is no mention of Weight Watchers or The Zone Diet in The Bible. What is stated in Genesis 1:29 is that the original diet of mankind consisted of "fruits and herbs" (i.e., green leafy vegetables.) Follow that advice today and you will become natural and healthy again.
The dictionary defines health as "The state of fitness of the body or the mind." Our health declines as soon as we are born, as soon as we are fed unnatural processed foods. It continues to decline from that point on.
We have all heard about calories, protein, and fat. If you ate the way nature intended, you would not care about any of them. If counting calories, burning fat, and eating high protein are so important, why are Americans, who engage in these practices the most, the most overweight, disease-ridden people in the world? Getting back to true, natural health is about preserving the energy of your body, which is accomplished by preserving its enzymes. Eating the best quality foods available and avoiding overeating will achieve that goal. "Eat organic raw foods in small but ample amounts and think positive thoughts all the time!"
Cooked food and too much food (overeating) will destroy you every time you put them in your body. Cooked and processed food is our biggest addiction. The longer you live with an addiction, the harder it is to break and most of us have been eating cooked food since we were born. We ate cooked foods before we learned how to walk or talk. To regain our health, we need to avoid cooked foods and to replace them with the best quality foods available; i.e., raw and organic foods. In addition, no matter how good the food you eat, if you are eat too much of it, your body will become clogged. When this happens, your body will not be able to use this good food. If you overeat, the food goes to waste; and in time, you too will go to waste. Never overeat!
Food, by itself, has no healing power. Your body does the healing. However, raw foods and a proper environment give your body the raw materials it needs to detoxify, to create energy, and to rebuild. Your body knows how to heal itself and is always trying to heal. The instructions for self-healing, in fact, are encoded in the genes of every cell in your body. As Dr. Hereward Carrington stated in his book Fasting for Health and Long Life: "Nature alone cures! All that anyone can do is to assist her efforts, and permit her to repair the damage." Trust the intelligence of your body and allow it to heal.
Most people have yet to touch the surface of good health. Clean and detoxify your body and you will become healthy. What doctors call a cold or an illness is simply your body working to get rid of waste. It is the effect of your body cleaning out all the unusable foods you have taken in, through overeating, consumption of poor quality foods and bad combinations. Learn and understand what detoxification is. That way you will be prepared to experience it and its tremendous benefits, physically and mentally.
There is really only one disease of the body. It is called Toxemia. Many doctors of natural hygiene have proven this in their work, but common knowledge of the way the body works, along with common sense, will also support this statement. In his book Toxemia Explained, Dr. John Tilden explains the definition of Toxemia as natures effort to eliminate toxins from the blood. He goes on to state that all so-called diseases are crises of Toxemia. His book he goes in deep detail of the cause of Toxemia and how to prevent it. He gives excellent information about Toxemia. Anyone interested in learning more about Toxemia should read this book. Simply put, the main causes of Toxemia are overeating and eating low quality foods. You are the one responsible for taking these foods into your body. Once you stop and start cleaning out the remnants of what you have already ingested, you will begin experiencing true health.
There are several stages to Toxemia. Medical doctors have named diseases for each of these stages. The first stage is usually referred to as diarrhea or constipation. The last stage of Toxemia is what doctors call cancer. There are many stages in between.
Toxemia is always reversible until it reaches the final stage, and nobody knows when that last stage will occur. Even a doctor doesn't know. What this means is that no matter how sick you may appear or how bad your disease may be, you should never give up hope or quit trying. 99.9% of any so-called disease is caused by your diet, your lifestyle, and the environment in which you choose to live. Toxemia is a self-inflicted disease of the body. You are in control of it. If you take care of your body, you will not get Toxemia. Eat only small amounts of the best foods, think positive thoughts, live in the cleanest environment possible and you will avoid Toxemia.
Dr. Tilden wrote the book Toxemia Explained in 1926 and the information stands valid to this day, because it is based on the truth. If today's medical doctors really want to prevent disease and cure sick people, they should learn about Toxemia. As Dr. Tilden stated in his book:
"Medical science is founded on a false premise. Namely, that disease is caused by extraneous influences, and that drugs are something that cures or palliates discomfort. The term 'medical' means pertaining to medicine or the practice of medicine. Anything used in a remedial way carries the idea of curing, healing, correcting, or affording relief; and this doctoring is all done without any clear understanding of cause."
No one knows your body better than you do. Most people would rather listen to an unhealthy person just because they have a degree and wear a white coat. It makes no sense to listen to doctors; instead listen to your own body. If you do choose to listen to what others tell you about your body, doesn't it make much more sense to seek advice from a healthy person? If you went to a gym, would you take advice from and strive to be like a person who looked unhealthy? So, why take advice from an unhealthy doctor? Stand outside any hospital in America and you will see doctors who are overweight and smoking cigarettes. What does that tell you?
Medical doctors know very little about good health. They do not study health in medical school, which teaches them only about drug therapy. If your car broke down, would you take it to a dentist to get it fixed? Then why go to a doctor when you get sick?
It is absurd. Why do you think doctors call it a practice? The answer is because they practice on your body. Yes, practice makes perfect but many mistakes also occur during practice.
In today's world, people tend to accept what they hear on the nightly news or what they read in the daily newspaper, without ever questioning it. People are brainwashed about health; they are taught lies and myths. Finding out the truth is the first step to becoming natural in an unnatural world. No matter how much knowledge you have and how hard you work, if your information is fallacious, you will not get the results you desire.
People tend to avoid the truth about health because once they realize and accept the truth, great effort must then be expended to change habits. Most people are too lazy to want to get involved. If you feel lazy, you already have a form of toxemia, as laziness is a symptom of disease. The truth will always be the truth, no matter how many people deny it or run from it. Here is a great saying from Mark Twain: "Whenever you find that you are on the side of majority, it's time to pause and reflect." Even back then, Mark Twain knew that just because you are different does not mean you are wrong.
Much of the information in this book comes from people I have met who have been living as nature intended, for many years. They have superior health and vitality to show for it. In this book, I am attempting to pass their valuable information on to you.
Use this information to your advantage. Use the information that makes most sense to you. Then see what happens. Many other people have also shared invaluable information with me, far too many to mention, so I've tried my best to pass their knowledge along to you too. We can also learn from people with poor health. In fact, every person you meet and every experience you live through can be a lesson.
Your goal may be to have a 100% natural diet or simply to eat more fruits and vegetables. The key is to get started. Have you ever said to yourself that you know you should eat more fruits and vegetables, but you don't like the taste of them? In this book, I will teach you how to enjoy their wonderful taste so you'll actually look forward to eating them. If you eat 100% cooked foods, you will feel awful and eventually get sick. If you eat 100% raw foods, after your body cleans out the residue of all the unnatural food you have put in it, you will feel true health and an amazing amount of energy. You must realize that the only path to true health is to take care of your body.
There are two ways to accomplish this. The first way is to just dive right in and do it. If you have the desire and feel that you can, then go for it! However, if you do decide to alter your eating abruptly, beware! Making such a drastic change will cause a discomfort and result in a severe detoxification that will hit your body hard and fast. Take this advice as a warning. I do know people who have changed abruptly and had great success, but it can also be deadly.
The second way is to make the transition in stages. Your detox will be much less severe and easier on the body but it will last much longer. For most people, I highly recommend this method over the first.
Attaining a raw life is a fight to the finish. Like two boxers duking it out, it is a battle with you and your new healthy life fighting against your old diseased body and its toxic life. When you win, you will feel like the world champion. Nothing will be able to stop you. Whichever way you decide, never say to yourself that you can't do it. If you even think it, guess what will happen? As you proceed in life if you fear anything it is because you don't have correct information about the object of your fear. Obtain the knowledge and your fears will disappear, because fear and knowledge cannot coexist simultaneously. Whatever you decide to do in life, be positive about your choices and you will succeed. Think positive thoughts at all times. You could. You can. You will. Put those positive thoughts into action and do it! I will help you. I will train you. Let's get started!
