80/20 RAW Spinach & Mixed Greens Salad
Many people ask me almost every day – either at my local health food store(s), via email, or in person at the grocery store or at church – how… and each ‘how’ question is different – so I have put together this information to try to give you all a ‘hard-copy’. Anyone not interested may disregard it with my blessing.
Basic Italian RAW Salad
Long story/short: I became a vegetarian after being so sick (found out it was chemical [msg/chemical etc.] poisoning later) for a couple of years in my late twenties, and still doctors could not find a thing wrong with me. After doing a lot of research on my own – at age 30 — I went cold turkey Vegan… no dairy. I was always fit back then, but still lost 10 pounds and felt terrific. Of course I also ate predominantly ORGANIC and natural foods – and I continued on for years… then I had my first child Austin and surgery #1 — that did me in good!!! I Stayed vegetarian through my pregnancy with him, but added dairy back into my diet. Of course, I thought the weight would just fall right off — IT DIDN’T!!! I worked out regularly and still was SICK FOR A WHOLE YEAR – my gal bladder was failing and doctors wanted to remove it — I REFUSED — and went back to my books – I used the method in a book that has been in our family for years called “Back to Eden” by Jethro Kloss. I healed my Gal bladder in ONE WEEK — after being sick for a whole year… then got back into shape eating my vegan diet and dropping dairy products again…
Bell Medley RAW Salad
I was still ‘in process’ (had 5 pounds to go!) and was feeling terrific… then I got pregnant with twins. I added dairy and fish back into my diet for the duration of the pregnancy. After having twins and surgery #2 — I dropped dairy but kept fish in my diet. I immediately did the same gal bladder cure, so that I wouldn’t go through another year of being ill again. My skin went crazy, I never had such a skin problem in my whole life — not a zit one in younger years!!!
Well once again, my body was trying to tell me something… I listened — I learned that what I did in my 30’s wasn’t working so great in my 40’s (ah – that aging process we all so adore!). Now I wasn’t about to add meat back into my diet — I hate the stuff anyway… so I did more research and prayed more… the Lord led me to the RAW FOOD DIET — exactly as HE created it… another long story short — I now eat 80 percent raw foods and only 20 percent cooked or processed foods — and wow — do I love it — it tastes absolutely out of this world. One important note here: YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE A VEGETARIANto be healthy – if you eat 80 percent raw foods, and your meat content of your diet is only 20 percent – you should be quite healthy!
Corn Salad RAW Salad
I have been blessed with/led to numerous raw food ‘cookbooks’ (no cooking involved -ha). Most of them are usually purchased at www.amazon.com or www.bn.com . Many of them may also be checked out at your local library! Here is a short listing for you:
- “RAW The Uncook Book” by Juliano (my absolute FAVORITE – the man knows his food — everything in there is absolutely awesome — and he tells how to do it all in the front of the book such as how to sprout your grains etc.)
- “The Raw Gourmet” by Nomi Shannon (I make various modified versions of her ‘energy bars’ [page 184] using sprouted grains and eat two a day — they have helped me a ton in loosing weight [though that is not what she claims they are for] and feeling great).
- “Recipes for Life from God’s Garden” by Rhonda J. Malkmus. (Her husband wrote a book called “Why Christians Get Sick” – based on Biblical principle and how our bodies are created to use raw foods… you can see their web site at www.hacres.com I suggest you go to the site to learn a lot for FREE!!! The book teaches how to live a healthier life the way the Lord intended us to… and explains a lot).
- “Recipes for Longer Life” By Ann Wigmore (any book you can find by Ann Wigmore is great — she started the raw food health institute where many severely ill people go (some on their death bed — having had severe cancers/chemo/radiation etc.!!!) to be naturally HEALED and live to tell about it – PAIN FREE!!! You can learn about it all at http://www.annwigmore.org/ or below is a listing of more of the natural healing health institutes web sites — all have MANY LIVING ex-patients — healed of alsheimers (YES IT IS REPORTED AS [not by the medical association of course] REVERSABLE & CURABLE!!!) and many other things…
- “The Raw Truth – The Art of Preparing Living Foods” by Jeremy A. Safron
- “The Garden of Eden Raw Fruit & Vegetable Recipes” by Phyllis Avery
Garden Cucumber Tomato RAW Salad
Below is a listing of health and healing institutes:
- Ann Wigmore Institute (mentioned above): http://www.annwigmore.org/
- Creative Health Institute: http://www.creativehealthusa.com/
- Hippocrates Health Institute: (Hippocrates was the FIRST “medical doctor” – and he stated, “all medicine is food, and all food is medicine” – today’s doctors are required to take the ‘Hippocrates Oath’ when they graduate medical school and actually become a ‘doctor’ – the oath states “I promise to cause no harm”…yet the American Medical Association CLEARLY VIOLATES THIS OATH in many ways – Hippocrates helped heal many people of many ailments and wrote many published articles): http://www.hippocratesinst.com/
- Optimum Health Institute (located in San Diego CA & Austin TX: http://www.optimumhealth.org/
- Hallelujah Acres Health Institute (mentioned above – located in Utah): http://www.hacres.com/home.asp
Each site is informative (for free) and some of them sell various products (some I have tried, but prefer to use raw foods instead), have email newsletters and various links to other information. You don’t have to go to the institutes to learn and heal your body as God intended the body to heal – however, all information is available in the many books, and/or there is a lot of it on each web site for FREE.
God said clearly, “my people suffer for lack of knowledge” – may I suggest that you gain the knowledge so that you never suffer from illness or the “cures” provided by the American Medical Association. This in itself is another whole subject: you may learn some about it at a web site by Dr. Lorraine Day M.D. – she was an internationally acclaimed orthopedic trauma surgeon and best selling author was for 15 years on the faculty of the University of California, San Francisco, School of Medicine as Associate Professor and Vice Chairman of the Department of Orthopedics. She was also Chief of Orthopedic Surgery at San Francisco General Hospital (and is today recognized world-wide as an AIDS expert). Until she got breast cancer. She knew full well the ramifications of chemotherapy and radiation, and therefore REFUSED conventional medical treatment (though she did have part of her tumor cut out eventually). She is now HEALED of BREAST CANCER – using the methods from the various health institutes – and she tried MANY other ‘natural ways’ of healing BEFORE using raw foods – she sells many video tapes and her web site is very informative – she tells the truth as she sees it, about the American Medical Association and gives additional information as to where you can learn about it for yourself, (In my opinion – it is a multi-billion dollar industry – aimed at making $$$ – put simply – “follow the money”!). Her web site is www.drday.com
I’m also living proof that it all works, and I would personally choose to go to any of the institutes (should I ever need to – but I suspect I will not 🙂 rather than suffer at the hands of our current sciences. Of course our bodies are also created to MOVE — so I added exercise back into my life after both surgeries… however exercise alone did not help me a lot — because of my surgeries and the many drugs that were “pumped into me” — I had to give my body the things it needed to heal as it was created to do.
** NOTE: *** I am NOT a certified Health Expert, and cannot legally make any claims. Everything written here is strictly my opinion based on my own personal experiences. I have done a lot of research as well as ‘assisted’ (I believe that God of course is the ultimate healer!) in the healing of my own body.
Over the years the Lord has led many people to me who all ask various questions – some regarding weight, some regarding general health, some regarding foods, and some just wanna know “where does all my energy come from”… We each make our own choices and will suffer or reap the consequences of our choices, especially when it’s whom we trust with our own health/bodies — I have made my choices, you decide yours. I have simply been given a message to deliver :-).
May God Bless you Always,
