The following is an excerpt from The Man Who Lived Forever, and is an introduction to the concept of “real food:”
“Let’s talk first about food. In order to create the
inflow necessary for health it is simply necessary to eat
food. Real food, that is. Eating real food–naturally-
occurring, unprocessed, so-called ‘organic’ fruits and
vegetables that humans were meant to consume–
nourishes the body, gives it what it needs to stay in
balance, replenishes what is lost, and aids the elimination
of waste quickly enough to avoid internal toxicity.”
“Makes sense,” I said.
“The challenge, however, is that very few of us
have a working definition of what real food is. So, first
let’s dispel a few misunderstandings.
“Just because something can be put in your mouth,
chewed and swallowed does not make it food.”
I smiled.
“Just because something is sold in a supermarket
or restaurant does not make it food.”
Ain’t that the truth, I thought to myself.
“Just because something tastes good, does not
make it food.”
There went 90% of my diet right there.
“And finally, just because something is referred to
as food by a great number of people, does not make it
food.
“Here’s a short list of things people put inside
themselves that are not food: milk, butter, eggs, cheese, chicken, all dead meats, processed sugar and salt, all
foods with artificial flavor, preservatives or color of any
kind, alcohol, cigarette smoke, sodas, fried foods, hybrid
rice and wheat products, processed white flour,
decaffeinated coffee and genetically modified foods. The
unfortunate thing is that this list comprises 90% of what
the average person in our society consumes.”
“So what can we eat?” I ask. “What’s left? Nuts
and berries?”
“Remember, nature is perfect and foolproof, right?
Therefore, the presumption is that everything that the
body ever has or ever will require for sustenance has
always existed and was provided at the beginning.”
“So how do we know what was here at the
beginning?” I asked.
“The answer to everything is in what I call the
Original Scene, my friend. So to answer your question,
let’s do a little exercise in observation. Close your eyes.
Now picture a landscape without supermarkets,
delicatessens, restaurants, hot dog stands or vending
machines. What do you have left?”
“Starbucks,” I said jokingly.
“Focus, my friend,” the Adept said.
“Grass and trees,” I said.
“Anything else?” asked the Adept.
“The sky?” I said.
“Anything else?” he asked again.
“Rivers, mountains, flowers…”
“And…?”
“Animals, birds, fish. Stones, rocks,” I continued.
“Anything else? Look in the ground, on the plants
and on the trees.”
“Oh, fruits, vegetables, nuts,” I said.
“Good, you’ve described just about everything that
existed in nature’s perfection. You’ve just described real
food.”
“I’m confused,” I said. “That’s what I eat now. I
eat fruits. I eat vegetables, nuts, seeds. But I’m still sick.
And so is everyone I know. What am I doing wrong? Are
you telling me I’m eating them wrong?”
“In a way, yes,” the Adept said. “Let’s go back to
our scene. Close your eyes again.”
“Now, imagine that you’re hungry. Walk over to a
fruit tree and pick the fruit. You’ll notice that there are no
cans, no boxes, no preservatives, no concentrates, no
pasteurization vats, no other processes or people in-
between you and your food.”
“I got that.”
“Now, reach into the ground and pull out a carrot.”
“Ok. Got it.”
“If you place this carrot in the ground, will it
sprout?”
“Yes,” I replied.
“If you steam it, even for just a minute, and then
put it in the ground, will it sprout?”
“Um, no,” I replied. “I don’t think so.”
“If you dehydrate it, pulverize it into a powder and
then put it back in the ground, will it sprout?”
“Definitely not,” I said.
“Correct. Can you see, therefore, that steaming or
pulverizing changes something fundamental in the
carrot? It is no longer a carrot. It may taste like a carrot.
It may feel like a carrot. But it no longer has all the
properties of a living carrot.”
“So are you saying that cooking our food is what’s
killing us? That we shouldn’t eat anything cooked?”
“I’m saying that in order to sustain life,” the Adept replied,
“you must eat live food. Remember, you are always free
to do anything you wish. Just remember the Essential
Truth that there are always effects from that cause. Look
to nature for your answers. If it isn’t in the original scene,
it isn’t food, and therefore, not part of the original code.
Do you see cows stir-frying their grass before grazing?”
he asked.
“Can’t say that I have,” I replied with a smile. “But
you’ve been cooking meals for me. Why not all live?”
“Well, it’s been sort of a transitional diet I created
just for you. Yesterday’s meal was heavy on the salad,
and the soup we had at lunch was
almost raw. Today,
since you asked, is going to be “Rawday.” You may have
heard of it? It’s on the Ageless Adept calendar right after
“Fry Day”, get it?” he said with a chuckle.
Let’s bring it all together with a definition of “real food!”
Excerpt from A Clean Cell Never Dies:
The cures or
therapies that exist as part of the Clean Cell Protocol are nothing
more than variations on these 5 themes:
1.
sunlight
2.
water
3.
earth
4.
air
5.
time
(SWEAT,
for short)
All individual
therapies, no matter how odd they may seem to you, are simply
variations on these themes. Here are some examples:
How
to replicate sunlight
The sun’s
ultraviolet rays are antiseptic and can kill bacteria, viruses,
fungi, yeasts, molds, and mites in air and water, as well as on
surfaces including our skin. It converts cholesterol in the skin to
Vitamin D, and regulates bodily processes. Infrared rays improve
neuralgia, neuritis, arthritis, and sinusitis. Sunlight regulates
hormones and bodily processes, stimulates the pineal gland, and
normalizes heart rate, blood pressure and respiration. It increases
oxygen to the blood and thus improves muscular
endurance.
Deficiency or
insufficiency of natural sunlight and vitamin D has been associated
with the following conditions: adrenal insufficiency, Alzheimer’s,
allergies, autoimmune disorders including multiple sclerosis and
rheumatoid arthritis, cancers of the colon, breast, skin and
prostate, depression, seasonal affective disorder (SAD), diabetes
Type 1 & 2, gluten intolerance, heart disease, hypertension,
Metabolic Syndrome, infertility, sexual dysfunction, learning and
behavior disorders, misaligned teeth and cavities, obesity,
osteopenia, osteoporosis, osteomalacia (adult rickets), Parkinsons,
PMS and psoriasis.
Don’t let
"conventional wisdom" scare you away from soaking in the
sun! Soak for at least one hour each day; shorter duration for people
with paler, melanin-poor skin.
There’s no
substitute for real, direct sunlight (i.e. there should be
nothing between you and the sun except air; glass blocks the sun’s
infrared rays). However, here are variations to
compensate:
VARIATIONS:
infrared saunas, dry saunas, physical activity to encourage sweating,
vitamin D supplementation.
How
to replicate water
Simply drinking more
and cleaner water can jump-start your body’s cure of itself and
immediately increase your energy. Purified, fluoride-free,
chlorine-free, room temperature rain water would be best. Spring
water is good. Reverse-osmosis, filtered water is good. Fill a
container with half-gallon to one gallon each day and drink
throughout the day.
VARIATIONS:
drinking more water, hydrotherapy, purified water, ozonated water,
oxygenated water.
How
to replicate earth
In our modern world,
and particularly in what Bob Marley called the "concrete
jungle," it is possible for someone to be born, live and die
without their feet ever touching the actual soil of the
earth.
Think about it. They
are born in a sanitized, concrete hospital. They are carried into and
transported in a car that touches asphalt. They live their lives in
high-rise apartments, and walk to school in shoes on cement
sidewalks. They travel to work in steel trains. They live their
entire lives–every waking and sleeping moment–separated from the
earth hundreds of feet above the ground. And if, on that infrequent
occasion they seek natural settings free of concrete or asphalt
cover, they wear socks and slippers and sandals and shoes that
separate them from the actual living earth. And, to take a few steps
back in time, remember, they were even conceived and began the very
instant of life in the womb of a woman who may never have touched the
physical earth herself.
For many people,
years can go by without them ever experiencing the grounding and
rejuvenating effect of actually connecting to the
earth.
What effect do you
think that might have on the world view, thought processes, bodily
functions, and even basic humanity of an individual, family or
society who has never touched ground—people who are not, you
might say, "grounded?"
In electrical terms,
to "ground" an object means just that, to connect it to the
earth. When an electrical appliance operates, for instance, it will
build up an electrical charge. The earth naturally attracts excess
electrical charge and dissipates it so that it does not accumulate
and cause harm to the user. You ground something to keep it
functioning properly and so it doesn’t cause harm to itself or to
others. I’ll let you ponder, the significance of that statement as
you consider that the radiation and unnatural magnetic fields of
electrical appliances, power lines, cell phones/towers and x-ray
scanners are all around us.
VARIATIONS:
Walking on the beach, touching soil, and even eating clay all keep
you "grounded." Also: magnet therapy and clay
baths.
How
to replicate food
Just because
something can be chewed and swallowed does not make it real food. I
define real food as "unmodified, raw, enzyme-rich nuts,
seeds, fruits and vegetables eaten in as close to their natural state
as possible." Boiled carrots, or carrots from a can are not
the same as raw carrots. If you can’t put it in the ground and grow
another one, then, generally speaking, it’s not real food.
VARIATIONS:
Eating real food, organic produce, raw food, super foods, supplements
and vitamins.
How
to replicate air
You can go without
water for a while, you can do without sunlight, you can even do
without soil/food for many days. However, without air, you die in
seconds. Therefore, since air is arguably the most important element,
when looking to heal a specific condition, rejuvenate and grow
younger, I suggest starting with air. As stated, there was a time
when the oxygen content in air was as high as 50%. Now it’s less than
20% and even lower in major cities. The more you can do to introduce
oxygen into the system, the more optimally the body will
function.
That’s why one of
the first things I suggest to my friends who seek my advice is to
start taking daily supplementation with food grade hydrogen peroxide
H2O2 actually increases oxygen uptake in the body.
VARIATIONS:
H2O2 (Hydrogen Peroxide), DMSO, Ozone therapy, MMS.
How
to utilize time
Nature has its own
pace for healing. The way to activate Nature’s healing pace is to
stop eating–to engage in an extended fast–to allow the body’s
healing code to take over and to heal itself. There is no way to
replicate time.
Each aspect of the SWEAT formula is explored in more detail in
A Clean Cell Never Dies. Now, however, let’s explore one particular concept within the “Earth” domain–and that is, the concept of food.
The Ageless Adept defines real food as “unmodified, raw, enzyme-rich nuts, seeds, fruits and vegetables eaten in as close to their natural state as possible.” Boiled carrots, or carrots from a can are not the same as raw carrots. If you can’t put it in the ground and grow another one, then, generally speaking, it’s not real food.VARIATIONS: Eating real food, organic produce, raw food, super foods, supplements and vitamins.
As an individual unit of Nature, your body is coded for healing, reversal, regeneration, renewal and rejuvenation. Cuts heal. Broken bones mend. Fevers kill germs. Yes, provided with the raw materials it needs, and left to its own intelligence, the body is designed to heal, survive, and thrive. Everything you currently define as illness is actually healing taking place. Diarrhea, colds and coughs, for instance, are all efforts by your body to cleanse and heal itself.
*Note: age reversal using the clean cell practices does not require belief in a deity. Universal order exists for all.
We’re even told by experts that the body’s organs renew themselves regularly, and that the entire body is completely renewed every seven years.
You might ask, “If the body is coded to heal, why am I and everyone I know deteriorating?” You’ll answer that question by the time you finish this book. First, we’ll explore how the body deteriorates.
In the book, A Clean Cell Never Dies, I state:
The reason [Herbert] Shelton and others can create a “stages of fasting” guide that predicts with almost pinpoint accuracy what will happen to you during your fast, is that after guiding over 4,000 people, he realized the process is the same! Even a body damaged by years of abuse and neglect still retains its healing code.
If there were not this consistent, reliable, predictable thread of order in the universe, things would fall apart. If everyone’s built-in code didn’t function in the same way, Nature simply couldn’t survive. A seed that fell into the soil, wouldn’t know what to do! Birds that got cold in the winter wouldn’t know where to go! Nature is, indeed, foolproof, and perfect! You are in good hands!
The body will be helped to function according to its coding, if you follow the S.W.E.A.T. philosophy and formula
There’s a formula I first encountered in Arnold Ehret’s Mucusless Diet & Healing System that holds V=P-0 (Vitality = Power – Obstruction). The degree of vim, vigor and youthfulness you experience (i.e. your vitality) is not only a function of your nutrition (power), but also a function of the degree of obstruction present in your system. In other words, the more blockage that exists in your system, –caused by toxins and accumulated, uneliminated matter in your colon, intestines, blood vessels–the less vitality you will be able to manifest. This explains why even several days–even weeks–into an extended water fast, you’ll experience tremendous surges of energy even though you’re not eating any solid food–fasting allows the body to purge itself of toxins and other obstructions.
I’ve modified it slightly to be V = P2 – O where P2 is “Potential Power”
Now, as is usually the case with universal truth, the VPO formula has applications to many other areas of life. So, expanding Ehret’s formula to living your passion and purpose, we can postulate that
Value = Passion * Purpose – Obstruction.
In other words, the value that you ultimately bring to the world is a function of your passion MINUS any obstruction (internal or external) that you allow to block your flow, whether those obstructions be your fears, your perceived limitations, or other people’s expectations of you.
Similarly, when it comes to your vision, we find that
Vision = Position * Perch – Obstruction.
What you envision for yourself and your future is function of where you stand–your position or perch–MINUS any obstructions that block your view.
Ageless Adepts only eat real food. If you can’t put it in the ground and grow a new one, it’s not real food!
Ageless Adepts don’t eat anything in cans or anything with preservatives.
Ageless Adepts know that the purpose of food is to survive. You eat food for survival and for health. Sometimes you eat things you don’t like in order to be healthy. You’re not a child. Grow up.
Ageless Adepts don’t compromise. If there’s no vegan restaurant where you’re vacationing, you eat fruit, prepare your own meals, or fast!
Ageless Adepts don’t eat anything that has a face, that has a mother, or that can run away from them.
Ageless Adepts don’t put anything ON the body that they wouldn’t put IN the body.
Ageless Adepts follow the S.W.E.A.T lifestyle formula.
Ageless Adepts know that a clean cell never dies, so they strive to keep their bodies clean through colonics, coffee enemas, sauna detoxes, and fasting.
Ageless Adepts know that “You may have freedom OF choice, but you don’t have freedom FROM the consequences of that choice.”
I’d like to challenge you to a little mental exercise. What do you think about when you think about healing a disease? In other words, what do health, healing and cure look like to you? If you’re like many people, the images that come to mind include: orange bottles with white labels, multi-colored pills, white lab coats, masks, high-tech machines in sterile rooms, chemotherapy, intravenous drips and the hair loss it often causes, hypodermic needles, patent-infringement cases and thousands of dollars in cost.
Is this the way it has to be? Is Nature that flawed and imperfect? Is that the best our society can do as a solution? Or, is there another way?
Is there a way to heal and cure, reverse and rejuvenate an individual’s body from deterioration and illness, without the use of harmful chemicals, radiation, invasive surgery, bodily dismemberment, mutilation, side effects and hair loss?
Following is a collage of the images most people call to mind when thinking of healing:
The old paradigm of healing (Fig 4. from A Clean Cell Never Dies)
I suggest to you, however, that in the search of a better belief system, and in the quest to reverse aging, become fit to breed or simply live a healthy, long life using these practices, that you re-imagine what healing and cure—in reality—look like.
Perhaps healing and cure really look like this: Sunshine, clean air, clean water, direct contact with the earth and soil and access to real organic food without fear of patent infringement, all achieved for pennies. Here is that image:
The new paradigm of healing (Fig 5. from A Clean Cell Never Dies)
Perfect health. Long life. The Fountain of Youth.
