Eating for rejuvenation


For most people, being on a spiritual path brings with it the principles of vegetarian living.  I too wanted to uphold the precepts of not eating meat to obtain all the benefits that spirituality had to offer.  While it is certainly much easier to enter meditative states by abstaining from eating meat, it is not so easy to obtain perfect physical health through this alone.

When you move from a poor diet to a healthy diet, it doesn’t mean that you will automatically experience the effects of complete rejuvenation.  Only when you know the exact laws of hygiene does this become possible.  Therefore, you need to gather the right information and then make the choices that work for you.

“The greatest of all diet reforms is the change from meat-eating to a meatless diet. This is also the first step on the spiritual path, the first gesture that rightness, justice, compassion, purity are being set up as necessary to human and humane living, in contrast to animal living.” — Paul Brunton

Figuring out a game-plan to get back to health involves a commitment that is based on the PRINCIPLES of revering and honoring life.  Even though we never know when we are going to pass away, at least we can enjoy a quality of life that most others would never know.

“So it is, Manjushri. There is not a single being, wandering in the chain of lives in endless and beginningless samsara, that has not been your mother or your sister. An individual, born as a dog, may afterward become your father.  Each and every being is like an actor playing on the stage of life. One’s flesh and the flesh of others is the same flesh. Therefore the Enlightened Ones eat no meat. Moreover, Mahjushri, the dharmadhatu  is the common nature of all beings, therefore Buddhas refrain from eating meat.”  — Angulimala Sutra

The ideal:

For healing, rejuvenation, and regeneration to occur physically being on a completely raw-food diet is essential for optimal health to take place.  It does take time to get to this level of purity.  It also takes a certain willingness to get educated properly in order to have confidence that this process works.  Nonetheless, whenever you create the right conditions in your body, healing will eventually come about.

Abiding with nature is the slow and steady way to become whole.

In order to create the right conditions for healing to occur it would be wise to complete a liver-cleanse and then an extended OJ fast.  Once you accomplish these pre-requisites, then you can choose to continue eating well, modify your diet, or go completely back to your old ways.  It is entirely up to you.

You never want to become obsessed or extreme about this.  You just want to give your body some time so that it has the chance to recuperate, balance and regenerate itself.

It may be that you are ready to take the next step and eat even healthier than before.  It is important to note that you don’t have to worry that you will be eating this way forever.  You could simply set a time limit for how long you want to cleanse and purify this way.

Here are two alternative diet-plans that create the precise conditions to maintain a healthy body:

Food combining:

While you are in the transition from an ovo-lacto vegetarian to a raw food diet it is best to learn the Food Combining Protocols outlined by Dr. Hay.  If you cannot become a complete Raw Foodist right away, that is OK.  No problem.  At the very minimum, you can have one cooked meal per day.  Over time you can become stricter.

The reason to follow these food-combining rules is because you want your body to run more efficiently and not accumulate acids in your body.  This path is one of making better choices with awareness of what is correct or incorrect for your body.

For example, right food combining means you would NOT mix proteins and carbohydrates.  Eating pizza would be a wrong food combination because the cheese is protein and the bread is a carb.  If you eat the wrong combination then acidosis sets in and invariably disease is not far behind.

Mono-diet:

The mono-diet is something you can adopt to refine your system more precisely than food-combining does.  The mono-diet says to eat only one food at a time.  This is a more perfected method to assure you are not making any mistakes and accumulating acids.  It is a simple process.  If you desire grapes then you keep eating all the grapes you want until you are full.

As a general rule, ten minutes later your stomach should be empty of fruit.  Then you could pick another food.  Maybe you wanted almonds next.  You would eat all the almonds your body desires until you weren’t hungry anymore.  It may take your system about 45 minutes or more to digest these nuts.

This is how you will come to know your body in exact detail.  Just be mindful and see how your body handles each particular food.  In all cases, try to get into the habit of chewing all your food into a liquid.  Your stomach is not a grinder.  It needs all the help it gets from the enzymes in your salivary glands.

WARNING: the following information is for informational purposes and no one can encourage you to move in this direction unless you are willing to self-experiment and have guidance/permission from your doctor, lama, healer or guru.

It has been said that grains, fruits, nuts, and vegetables constitute the diet that obeys nature in the correct way.   But, how many really know that breads are poor choices for food?  The way breads are made today may actually cause more harm than good.  For example, the ingredient in white bread utilizes the same paste to put up your wallpaper in your home.  Not good at all.

“I have to agree with the old medical books, bread is the staff of death, but if a person could chew it to a liquid, it would do much less harm.” –MH

Furthermore, it may be surprising to hear what the Master Herbalist has to say about vegetables.  How many people know that most vegetables are not proper human foods?

“Vegetables are not natural, they grow too quickly. BUGS love vegetables, because nature wants them destroyed. Humans need very small minerals that fruits from the tree possess. Minerals in the fast growing vegetables are too BIG and are known to get in the blood stream and can’t get out the kidneys, so they stick to the veins and clog our circulation over time.” –MH

It may sound strange and even shocking to hear that.  The good news is, when we are healthy and our VITALITY and LIFE-FORCE is STRONG we can pretty much eat anything and everything.  But, when we are sick and debilitated and have a so-called incurable disease we need to take every precaution to get back to health.

Three signs:

Some signs to look for while cleansing and eating healthy and taking herbal supplements:

  1. the skin becomes clearer
  2. the hair grows in thicker and darker
  3. the teeth become whiter

This is very important to understand.  While experiencing the qualities of rejuvenation, the nails will begin to feel stronger and take on a clear sheen to them and will not look cloudy.  The hair will become thicker and appear wet, as if filled with life-force, and not dry or falling out.  And lastly, the teeth will become much whiter and not look sickly yellow.

TIPS:

With the above information you have a tool to gauge where you are at.  Even so, one needs to study extensively these PROTOCOLS of abiding with nature.  MH acquired lead-poisoning from the factory he worked at, and only got his health back after following Nature’s laws.

Likewise, Dr. William Howard Hay had renal disease or kidney failure.  In the old days, it was called Bright’s disease and now the term is chronic nephritis.  Both these men achieved rejuvenation by following Nature and went on to document their results for the benefit of all.

Discovering the truth certainly comes from self-applied prevention.  I advise anyone to start reading MH’s 108 Pages booklet and the Dr. Hay book, Health via Food to get started.

Good Luck!

The pre-cleanse process


Since it is so difficult to know the details that constitute a good cleanse, I thought it would be essential to put things together to show what the step-by-step process would look like.  Here is some information.  MH, the Master Herbalist, on his Ask Barefoot Herbalist forum agrees that doing three liver-flushes before attempting an extended OJ fast is an excellent idea.

The problem:

With the increase of heart-attacks, auto-immune disease, and neurological problems becoming more prevalent in our times it is important to know their root cause as well as the antidotes. 

On the subject of heart conditions, if you ever had Cardiac Catheterization you would most likely have some cause for alarm to have such an invasive procedure done to you.  A simple symptom such as acid reflux would cause you to take an over-the-counter medication.  Usually this works and you are fine and go about your life.  However, when the medication does NOT work you have something to worry about.  You get admitted to the hospital.  They do blood work and tell you that the tests reveal a possible heart attack has occurred.  You get more worried and they call in for more tests.  They give you a catheter through the arm or leg and scope your heart to see what valves are clogged.  They also inject you with a chemical die so they can see on the x-ray monitor what is going on more clearly. 

At this point there are only two available options.  If nothing is majorly wrong then you are advised attend to your diet and go on medication that is not without side-effects.  However, if something is more serious you must comply with having a stent placed in the artery to keep the blood flowing and your heart from shutting down.  At this point you really have no choice in the matter as it will be the discretion of your doctor on the condition of your body.  Click here for an animated video of how the Angioplasty Procedure works along with the insertion of a stent.

But what if you knew the CAUSE of disease and the REMEDY before hand? 

Prevention is the key for being in absolute control of your life.  MH says, “Cayenne is life saving when used correctly.  Outside on a cut is there best use for it.  If you just had a heart attack, it can stop you from dieing by drawing the blood from the heart, etc. many books are written on all the uses.”

“I believe that most deadly heart attacks, etc. are actual adrenal glands bursting.  The sudden adrenal secretion entering the blood stream is more than the heart can handle and the person is dead as their body falls backwards.  I think this is a chemical problem, mostly caffeine and anything used to speed the body up artificially.” — MH

Furthermore, MH says, “According to Richard Schulze old info, he claims if a man is down, already turned GREY, no pulse and you can get cayenne into his mouth before death, he claims the blood will come off of the heart area and travel to the cayenne and the person may come back to life and because of the cayenne they may avoid brain damage.”

The solution:

Not many people can change their dietary habits and addictions so easily.  It is so hard to have discipline that most would just choose medical and leave their health in the doctor’s hands and hope for the best.  Only those inspired by a good author will have the motivation and will-power to eat all raw foods such as fruits, nuts and seeds.

“Cancers and all diseases most likely ALL START when the stomach fails, I have read many times the kidneys fail first, but ODDS are the kidneys failed first because the STOMACH was adding acids to the body that over whelmed the kidney function.” — MH

There are many choices to achieve the same result.  If you know the right principles you can get back on track faster.  Here are a few alternatives to achieve a healthy body:

  1. Take the 2010 Longevity Spices along with 1 glass of water (per tablespoon) after each meal.
  2. Utilize Herbal Spray I, II, or III to remove the acids via the skin/lymph.
  3. The Orange Juice fast for 3, 7, 14, 21 or 40 days.

Longevity Spices:

The Japanese method to cure cancer was to drink 3-5 glasses of water after each meal along with a clove of smashed garlic.

“The stomach method is explained in a garlic/cancer book on the school website…basically the doctor had you drink 3 full glasses of water after each meal with garlic as a method to expand the dieing stomach and a cure for cancer.”  — MH

MH enhanced upon this concept with his 2010 Longevity Spices that has over 108 different herbs with the theory that your liver/body can absorb whatever it needs through a wide variety of herbs.

Herbal Sprays:

For an immediate concern (such as a heart-attack) the antidote is received through a roll-on or spray.  These are two NEW forms of application that MH invented.  They achieve the effects through the skin and lymph nodes which stimulate the blood.  It also enters, in a unique way, through the olfactory sense when sprayed on the face.

“With the roll on, a person can directly roll on the heart area. With the spray method the same herbs can enter the heart in about 3-5 seconds. In theory, the heart could be saved in 3-5 seconds.” — MH

For long term effects, the sprays add beneficial minerals through your skin.  Similar to the nitro patch a cardiologist might use on your heart to dilate the blood vessels so the blood can flow through your heart easier.  The herbal sprays increase heat and circulation and are great for managing pain, arthritis, asthma etc. without the toxic side effects.

The OJ fast:

If you are inspired to heal, cleanse, and regenerate your body to the fullest extent possible then accomplishing a 14 or 21 day OJ fast would BENEFIT you tremendously.

“NO HUMAN HAS BEEN ABLE TO FIND THE SOLUTION FOR BALANCE OF SALTS, IF THEY DID, THEY WOULD FIND THE FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH.  FASTING ALLOWS YOUR BLOOD STREAM TO SEEK THAT BALANCE, THE FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH!  IF YOU HAVE ENOUGH VITALITY TO DO IT.” — MH

The orange juice fast, done correctly, is a great method to expel a lifetime of salt.  MH teaches us that consuming potassium rich oranges and herbs is the primary way to balance your salt ratio.  He says that all illness is a result of the wrong balance of these salts.

The pre-cleanse:

  1. Take one Epsom Salts bath to replenish all the minerals you need.
  2. Begin taking the LBB (lower bowel balance) herbs to exercise the colon and move impurities down and out.
  3. Prepare yourself for doing 3 good liver flushes following the Dr. Hulda Clark’s recipe.
  4. Deworm and remove candida/parasites for 30 days straight with MH’s dewormer.

Epsom Salts

MH tells us that in 1919 Espom Salts was deemed the MIRACLE DRUG and was used in many European Hospitals which has been known as an acid magnet and drags the acids DOWN and OUT with it and that may be its truest healing effect.

“Ocean water is the same as our blood and has been used to cure all diseases in rapid time, maybe the best cure ever of the 1,000+ cures. It has the proper magnesium and one bath in Epsom Salts probably gives us a lifetime supply.” — MH

A good routine would be to put your feet in Epsom Salts each night for a week to draw out the toxins and see how that works for you.

“Humans die from having 900x too much calcium rock in their body that makes them shrink and turn HARD…….magnesium (epsoms salts) is a very cheap substance and mild antidote for calcium build up in the body…this is why people feel better after absorbing it.” — MH

At the very least give yourself one long Epsom-Salts bath in warm water to give your body the minerals it needs to rejuvenate.  It would be equal to the benefits gained by jumping directly in the salty ocean water.

The Lower Bowel Balance:

It is said that, “Death begins in the colon.”  Therefore, creating CIRCULATION is one of the key principles to understand and eventually master.  You need to get used to this LBB herbal formula.  It takes patience and some time for your body to adjust to this herb.  Just go slow.  It will immediately produce heat inside of you that you may not notice at first.

Your body will not do so well if you are still eating meat while on this product.  Since meat is  is already a warming food, just be careful taking this supplement with it.  At the bare minimum, you would take one or two capsules per meal while still eating meat with no serious side-effect.  The heat imbalance feels like a hot-flash that may only be noticed after seven to ten days.  As with everything, it dissipates quickly when discontinued.  I find it is best to take NO more than three capsules per day (one per meal) while still eating meat.

On the other hand, if you are a vegetarian you will take delight in the heating effect that is generated.  This is how it is originally intended to be used.  As most vegetarians get cold extremities, especially in the winter months, this supplement is important to have.  It is highly recommended to take it with a meal and not on an empty stomach until you become more advanced and detoxified.  With this herbal formula, you learn to adjust and increase your dosage so that you will have a bowel movement BEFORE your next meal.

“The standard rule is to take enough to have 1 bowel movement per meal eaten and normally have a bowel movement 15-20 minutes after each meal.” — MH

When your circulation is improving, constipation becomes a thing of the past.  However, when your hair gets dry that just means that toxins are going up and out the head.  To reverse this, take more LBB pills to get the toxins moving in the proper direction.

The Liver Flush:

MH offers a Liver Flush Kit that was designed for those wishing to do a Dr. Hulda Clark Epsom’s Salts Liver Flush as easy as possible.  If you can make it work, plan on doing three liver-flushes as part of your health protocol.  That would be great idea as part of a detox program.  For best results, space each liver flush two weeks apart.  Your body needs some time in-between to recuperate.  A reasonable amount of time to have completed three flushes would take you about six weeks.

For five to seven days prior to the liver-flush you NEED to deworm.  This is SO important and is often overlooked.  If you do not deworm prior to your liver-flush you won’t get any gallstones out.  That is a simple rule of thumb everyone should know.

Dr. Clark explained that you should lay on your right side as you rest after drinking the formula.  This is not the best suggestion as this could cause some harm from the pressure and contraction of the body’s weight against the liver.  It is important to know:

  • Deworm for six days prior to the liver-flush or you WON’T release any stones.
  • Rest on your left side after drinking the liver-flush formula and NOT the right side.

When I did the liver-flush correctly I felt terrific.  It felt as if there was a huge open channel between my liver and stomach.  These two organs were now working in harmony in a way that never occurred before!  With more space to digest, the flow of energy was really wonderful.

Deworm:

MH’s dewormer is, by far, the best and cheapest on the market for the size and quantity that he offers.  It is suggested that you deworm for a minimum of 30 days to thoroughly remove the most stubborn parasites and worms.  While you are deworming, be sure to take the LBB, to assist flushing these foreign invaders down and out.  If you follow this advice you won’t ever experience the Herxheimer Reaction.

The Herxheimer Reaction is the result of the die-off of the candida or parasites in your body too quickly.  This leads to binging on the foods that contributed to the over-growth of the yeast or parasites in the first place.  They will fight to survive if you are not mindful and careful to do this process correctly.

After experiencing a strong feeling of irritability and subsequent hunger pangs, you end up eating the wrong foods such as breads, chocolates and other sweats.  By taking the LBB herbal supplement while you are deworming, there will be almost zero chance for this to happen.

Summary:

After you do your pre-cleanse read my other article I posted by clicking here:  How to Fast so that you will have further information on what you need to know to prepare yourself for an extended OJ fast.  It is also important to know how to break the fast properly and I explain the best way to do that there.

TIP: Leading a virtuous life is one sure way to help increase your Life-Force which is the main condition needed for having a longer life. This is what a good Samaritan or pure Bodhisattva (hero) practices:

  • Generating positive karmic-actions by rescuing animals (who are about to die) and setting them free is an immediate way to increase your life-force.
  • Offering necessities such as food and clothing to the poor benefits you indirectly.
  • Offering real or imagined lights, canopies, food, clothing, precious metals, or jewelry to a Pure Field of Refuge such as Medicine Master Vaidurya Light Tathagata will generate unbelievable merits for this life and the future.

“Lord of Heaven, if someone at death’s door recalls this divine Dharani, even for just a moment, his lifespan will be extended and he will acquire purification of body, speech and mind. Without suffering any physical pain and in accordance with his meritorious deeds, he will enjoy tranquility everywhere.” — The Usnisa Vijaya Dharani Sutra
