The Magic of eating delicious Bio-dynamic foods.

When we finally have the stomach to face it, so much a part of reversing the cancer and heart disease trends of the 21st century will have to do with changing that human behaviour which controls what we shove down our own throats and the gaping maws of our fledglings.

We've seen the future of cancer and heart disease, and the future is REAL, LIVING, WHOLE, ORGANIC FOOD, most of it eaten raw. Now what are you going to do?

Full of nature's goodness, raw fruits, vegetables, pulses, nuts and legumes provide a comprehensive spectrum of nutrients, including enzymes, carbohydrates, proteins and fats in their proper forms, which the body needs for continued sustenance.

Deny the body this kit, and you're headed for Baghdad. Also, the ratios of foods we eat today are doing us in.

Too many grains and cereals are killing us; we're chomping down 400% more meat than 80 years ago and we're guzzling so much cow's milk, butter and other dairy products, the resultant Niagara Nose is gluey enough to cement up the Channel Tunnel.

Australian physician Dr Dorothea Snook explains how imbalances of diet will eventually catch up with you, whether you believe they will or not:

Most believe the tommyrot they read in the newspapers and got scared into thinking that if they didn't eat the hind legs of three wildebeest and half the Serengeti before noon, they'd be struck down with a protein deficiency.

Never mind that you couldn't get a protein deficiency in the western world with a gun held to your head. The main problems facing western medicine today are the consequences of protein poisoning.

It has since been found that the human body requires no more than 30-40 g of protein a day. That's about half a McDonald's cheeseburger, in today's vernacular.

 Enzymes

The major differences between real and plastic food lie in the available enzyme, vitamin, mineral and antioxidant content. Real food, grown in mineral-rich soil, is busting out all over with them. Enzymes are vital for the continuance of life. I call them 'the life in the food'.

The absence of a single enzyme in the body can produce a metabolic disorder. Enzymes are long-chain proteins that cut apart other proteins, acting as catalysts, turbo-charging biochemical reactions in the body.

Enzymes are the do-it molecules in food, working synergistically with vitamins, minerals, fats, amino acids, co-enzyme factors, etc. to get the job of life working right inside you. Enzymes turn off healing processes in the body.

If they don't, those healing processes can become cancer. Enzymes cause food to ripen, to spoil and rot - hence the reason why they become the first target of food processing.

Cook anything consistently over 115F (47C) and you kill the enzymes within. Since the boiling point of water is 212F (100C), you become guilty of enzyme murder simply by heating food for any length of time.

The medical establishment, with its concerned expression of faint apology, tells us to eat our fruits and vegetables to protect ourselves against cancer, and yet refuses to train its doctors in nutrition, or even feed cancer patients with real, living, whole foods in hospitals.

This must mean that our medical supremos apparently believe that food is good enough to keep us alive but not good enough to fix us when we're sick, thus they fuel the cancer juggernaut further by condemning their patient, who was once a person, to the fate of medicines that kill and don't work, and doctors who can't heal.

There are faxes and letters and e-mails I receive every day testifying to the miracle of common sense when it comes to looking after ourselves and those we love by feeding the family proper nosh.

If you are still being wicked with what you put in your mouth, do something different and begin feeling absolutely great! Pick up a copy of Food For Thought today and start GETTING IN THE RAW.

You won't get arrested, I promise. Instead, your body, and those watching you through next door's twitching curtains, will love you for it.

Who knows, you might even end up with Kylie's bottom.
