"When Body, Emotions & Mind are brought into harmony Vibrant Health is Inevitable"

~ inspired by Dr. Robert Morse.

FOOD AFFECTS EVERYTHING.

• Hormones, Mood, Behavior
• Skin, Nerves, Bones, Muscles
• Energy levels
• Clarity of the Mind
• Your Mental, Emotional, Physical bodies & Genetics.

"If we eat wrongly,
no doctor can cure us.
If we eat rightly, no doctor is needed "

Victor G. Racine

EVERYTHING IS FOOD

• FOOD itself
• Your beliefs & emotions
• Your habits (good & bad)
• Your relationships & environment
• Your job/career/ hobby
• Spiritual Practice
• Fitness/Exercise etc.

YOU ARE AROUND 35 TO 100 TRILLION CELLS

THE QUALITY OF YOUR CELLS DETERMINES THE QUALITY OF YOUR HEALTH.

Every Cell, every Organ and every System is produced from the FOOD we EAT.

THE HUMAN BODY SIMPLIFIED:

• Cells & Fluids
• Cells made into Organs & Glands
• Glands control everything
• Organs & Glands devided into Systems
• All Systems interconnect

THE 4 PROCESSES TO HEALTH VITALITY

• 1 Digestion. 3. Utilization
• 2. Absorbtion. 4.Elimination

ALL DIS-EASE BEGIN IN THE GUT

DUALITY

Very Real Dual
Chemistry of foods:
Alkaline Vs. Acidic

Alkaline state -Optimal
Acid state - Inflammation

INFLUENCES ON INFLAMMATORY PROCESS

• Diet
• Genetics*
• Environmental, ingested and injected Toxins
• Stress, Negative thoughts

INFLAMMATION DUE TO POOR DIET MANIFESTATIONS

• PAIN in joints, tissues, organs
• Swelling ( Water Retention)
• Use of Lipids ( Cholesterol)
• Use of Calcium or other Main Electrolytes to maintain Homeostasis
• Dis-Ease in the body
• Listen to these signs!

WHAT IS NEXT AFTER INFLAMMATION?

• Extracellular Acidosis vs. Intracellular Acidosis
• Mutation of DNA ( cellular Organ Damage)
• ➡️ "Bad Genetics"

Some Foods fill you full of mucus, congestion and inflammation, which leads to hypo-activity or failure of cells, tissues, organs and glands. Let your food be your health and medicine, not the cause of your disease.

Post-digestive Ash
Alkaline forming Minerals:
Calcium, Magnesium, Potassium, Sodium, Iron, Zion etc.

Acid forming Minerals:
Fluorine, Chlorine, Bromine, Iodine, Cooper, Phosphorus, Sulphur etc.

"Nearly all disease can be traced to a nutritional
deficiency"

Balance to strive for?
80/20
80% alkaline forming foods
20% acid forming foods

ENZYMES - biocatalysts
They come from our body
( pancreas, endocrine glands)
&
From RAW FOODs

Without proper enzymes to break down the FOOD, we begin to accumulate undigested materials in our system. This leads to:
1. Inflammation 2. Weight gain
3. Sluggish Digestion 4. Fatigue
5. Lymphatic Stagnation
6. State of Dis-Ease in the body.

*Any sustained heat of approximately 110-118F destroys ALL ENZYMES
*Overly-acidic environment also destroys or neutralizes digestive enzymes of the pancreas

PHYTONUTRIENTS

• Chlorophyll, Beta Carotin, Lycopene etc.
• Fight to protect your health
• Stimulate Immune System
• Modulate hormones & metabolism
• Contain anti-cancer/-viral/-bacterial properties
• Dark Green Vegetables and Sprouts
• Just like Enzymes phytonutrients are heat-sensitive
