SLIMMING The high-quality diet, and even more so the raw-food diet, will normally ensure gradual weight loss for overweight individuals, while at the same time maximizing health improvement. I always put the main emphasis on the health aspects of the diet rather than its slimming potential. As we become healthier, we automatically find the right [...]
RAW-FOOD DIET From my own experiences of healing as well as from reading many published reports it is obvious to me that a raw-food diet is not only the most natural but also the most effective nutritional measure for healing and rejuvenation. While only few will be strong enough to adopt a complete raw food [...]
RESTRICTED FOOD Restrict food that commonly has a negative influence on our health and especially if you are already in poor health. You must decide for yourself how strict you want to be and how much willpower you can muster to remain on the high-quality diet. If you have cravings for a restricted food, it [...]
HIGH-QUALITY DIET This is a low-allergy diet based on freshly pressed vegetable juices, sprouted seeds, fermented and purple food, legumes, non-gluten grains and a high intake of raw food. It is most important to eat proteins, fats and oils predominantly raw, while vegetables may be cooked in addition to using them juiced and as salads. [...]

GENERAL DIET RULES In a nutshell, the most important diet rule is to eat our food as much as possible whole, live, organic and free of added chemicals. Other important rules are to chew well, enjoy what we eat, combine the food correctly and deliberately under-eat rather than over-eat. WHOLE FOOD Whole food means that [...]
ALLERGY TESTING Usually we are addicted to any daily-used food or substance to which we are also allergic and vice versa. Initially when we eat allergenic food we experience stimulation due to the release of adrenal stress hormones. However, eventually the adrenal glands become exhausted and we develop a chronic degenerative disease and lack energy. [...]
FASTING AND CLEANSING Fasting is a period of restricted food intake, and cleansing is the removal of waste products from the body as a result of fasting. This combination of fasting and cleansing is a most effective healing method. It is essential for overcoming chronic diseases, and for rejuvenating an aging body. It is also [...]
INTESTINAL SANITATION One of the first and most important causes of our health deterioration at the biological level is an inability to digest all the food we eat. This may be because of habitual overeating; insufficient chewing; consumption of too much milk, bread, meat and other problem foods; wrong food combinations; emotional problems; vitamin and [...]
