Let Food Be Thy Medicine & Medicine Thy Food

Among the Hippocrates quotes most widely shared — are ‘First do no harm’, ‘Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food’, ‘Walking is the best medicine’ and ‘All diseases begin in the gut’. — Hippocrates

” I see a world without sickness…a world in complete harmony and in perfect physical, mental, and spiritual balance by following nature’s laws of cause and effect. ” — Ann Wigmore


Living Foods Workshop Offered at Healing Gardens -|- [ Summary ]
The living foods way of raw nutrition is a safe and natural way back to health and vitality. Re-nourish your body, and you may notice numerous benefits:
⦁ Increased energy and vitality
⦁ Feeling more grounded
⦁ Emotional balance
⦁ Mental clarity
⦁ Brighter eyes, glowing skin
⦁ Improved muscle tone
⦁ General sense of balance and well-being
⦁ Living Foods Lifestyle®: Why Living Foods?
Dr. Ann Wigmore developed the Living Foods Lifestyle® to overcome disease and improve our quality of life. She believed that there are two main causes of disease: deficiency and toxemia.

Deficiency means that our bodies are undernourished because we are not getting the nutrients that we need from the standard American diet.

Toxemia is a term used to describe poisons that are stored in the body. Living Foods, which are easy to digest and rich in nutrients, combat this deficiency and this lifestyle addresses the problem of toxemia: when the body isn’t using all its energy to digest unnatural, cooked, and processed foods, it can turn to other tasks, such as releasing stored toxins and healing.

Raw Vegan Retreat

Raw Vegan Retreat.                                       tel:-   (505) 414-9796    Scheduled Dates: –

Why would eating  raw fruits & vegetables for 2 weeks be such a valuable experience?

We have been guiding Raw Foods type detox in the New Mexico Desert for almost 15 years, now. The challenge seems not so much just eating, but, what do we do with our minds between meals.

Why do I have to observe my mind in a way that I haven’t before?

Raw foods, especially the Green Juices & Cold Veggie Soups we make can very quickly stir up the pot. If we are gaining weight as the result of what we eat, we probably do not need to eat. We need to change what we eat.

Will I gain weight if I eat just Raw Vegan?

Very unlikely.

It is in the process of changing a habit that the mind gets challenged. What is that challenge…?

Release of the Past.

Raw Foods Retreat

Raw Foods Retreat

The Purpose of the Raw Foods Retreat at The Ann Wigmore Foundation in San Fidel, NM.

is to:

  • Educate on the value of Healthful Eating
  • Demonstrate what Healthful Eating is…*
  • Try various Raw & Living Foods meals.
  • Immerse for a 10 day experience eating all Raw Fruits’n Veggies.
  • FEEL … What Happens…

*…You would be surprised just what people think is healthy.

I moderation in all things are Healthy? [T/F]

Could be. It just depends on what it is you are trying to do. Be specific:

is it to:

  • Lose 10 – 15 lbs.
  • Be able to jog again
  • Get away from an addiction
  • Re-evaluate current habits –  that do not seem to be working.
  • Just feel better…*

*…How a person feels can be very subjective. What did work for a time no longer feels right. Coffee, Tobacco, Alcohol, Meat, Drugs (Various) may have lost their promise. Why would I want to eat Raw Foods.??

98% of the time the answer is LIVER LIVER LIVER. [answer] : Unplug the system.

Liver, Colon, Kidneys, Brain, Skin, Joints all get overloaded with toxic debris if we rely on too many substances that nature did’nt deliver in its original form. Remember it was DNA that defined your original form. It could be that now your DNA plus additional TOXINS define your FORM.

That’s why we eat RAW Fruits’n Veggies…………………….Try It!!

Raw Food Detoxification

Tags

Raw Foods Detoxification is a Complete Overhaul.

Why Raw Foods?

Initally raw foods can be hard to digest. It takes time to change habits. Even the bacteria in your intestines need to adjust their expectations. Not what they are used to.

Do I have to detox?

Eating raw foods will cleanse your blood, organs and colon giving your body an advantage over the toxins that it most certainly contains. No Insult. It is a universal problem even for ‘ experienced ‘ raw fooders. Our past – our environment guarantees this – FACT.

Can I eat raw foods & not Detox.

Yes. Just resist cleansing, stay emotionally devoid, pretend you are eating raw, but, just don’t eat the foods. Actually this is rare at a retreat, but, I have witnessed it.

Most people who start eating raw healthy choices will detoxify. These people are just ready. Are you ready?

Can I detox and go back my favorite foods?

Some not all. Common sense will tell. Not going to get into:- Enjoy yourself. Embrace some transformation.

What if I am not ready?

Take a yoga class, exercise. If you can’t touch your toes you are ready.

OK So Now I am ready – What Next:

The internet is so full of great ideas and people making the realization: raw foods is the path to cleansing : restoring health.

Just type: ‘ Raw Food Detoxification ‘ into your ‘web browser’…………..and GO!

Wheatgrass juice keeps the hair from graying. Dr. Ann Wigmore say’s …

Tags

, , ,

Ann Wigmore say’s; Wheatgrass ; Slantboarding ; Living Foods ; reversed her grey hair.

I see Dr. Ann. ” So, wheatgrass juice provides all of the amino acids in their proper balance. Could you briefly descibe these amino acids?”

Lysine is one amino acid that is receiving attention as a potential anti-aging factor. Body growth and blood circulation are fostered by this important amino acid. Without enough lysine, our immune response weakens, sight may be affected, and fatigue occur. Another essential, isoleucine, is also needed for growth, especially in infants, and for protein balance in adults. A deficiency of isoleucine could end in mental retardation, as it affects the production of other amino acids.

Leucine is an amino acid that keeps us alert and awake. An adequate supply of leucine is necessary for anyone who wants to experience high-energy living.

Another amino acid you may have heard of is tryptophane. It is essential for building rich, red blood, healthy skin, and hair. Working with the B-complex vitamins, tryptophane also helps to calm nerves and stimulate better digestion.

But I recently read at health sites that tryptophane caused some very severe conditions in people who took it.

My dear, as I said before, we cannot separate nutrients. You are talking about people who took large quantities of tryptophane in supplement form. Of course this would cause imbalance. We should only rely on nature’s storehouse of vitamins and minerals. Wheatgrass juice is the best, due to its perfect balance of living elements.

I’m sorry. Please continue with your description of the amino acids – Dr. Ann.

Other essential amino acids inlude phenylalanine, which aids the thyroid gland in its production of the thyroxin hormone — necessary for mental balance and emotional calm; threonine, which stimulates smooth digestion, assimilation of foods, and overall body metabolism; and valine, which activates the brain, aids muscle coordination, and calms the nerves. A deficiency of valine may lead to nervousness, mental fatigue, emotional outbursts, and insomnia.

The last of the eight essential amino acids in methionine, which helps cleanse and regenerate kidney and liver cells. It also may stimulate hair growth and mental calmness. Its effect is nearly opposite that of leucine; methionine calms rather than hypes the emotions and mental processes.

Briefly, some of the other amino acids in wheatgrass are: alanine, a blood purifier; arginine, which is especially vital to mens health, since seminal fluids contain large amounts of it; aspartic acid, a helper in the conversion of food into energy; glutamic acid, which improves mental balance and provides for smooth metabolic function; glycine, a helper in the process whereby cells use oxygen to make energy; histidine, which seems to affect hearing and nervous functions; proline, which becomes glutamic acid and performs the same tasks; serine, a stimulator of the brain and nerve functions; tyrosine, which aids the formation of hair and skin and prevents cellular aging.

So, why should everyone drink wheatgrass juice?

In essence, the same life force in nature that explodes into groceries every spring can be transferred into the human body via the consumption of wheatgrass juice. The body can then use this super-nutritious, vital energy to heal and repair itself as needed.

It will soothe sunburned skin…and also acts as a disinfectant. Rubbed into the scalp before a shampoo, it will help mend damaged hair and alleviate itchy, scaly scalp conditions.

Wheatgrass juice is soothing and healing for…cuts, burns, scrapes, rashes, poison ivy, athlete’s foot, insect bites, boils, sores , open ulcers, tumors & so on.

As a sleep aid…merely place a tray of living Wheatgrass near the head of your bed. It will en­hance the oxygen in the air and generate healthful negative ions to help you sleep more soundly. Use as a poultice and replace every two to four hours.

Add some to your bath water…and settle in for a nice, long soak.

Gargle with wheatgrass…to sweeten the breath and firm up and tighten gums.

Don’t cook it…We can only get the benefits of the many enzymes found in grass by eating it uncooked. Cooking destroys 100 percent of the enzymes in food.

Neutralizes toxins…Wheatgrass neutralizes toxic substances like cadmium, nicotine, strontium, mercury and polyvinyl chloride.

The benefits of a liquid oxygen transfusion…Wheatgrass juice contains liquid oxygen. Oxygen is vital to many body pro­cesses: it stimulates digestion (the oxidation of food), clearer thinking (the brain utilizes 25 percent of the bodily oxygen supply), and protective oxygenation of the blood (a defense against anaerobic bacteria). Cancer cells cannot exist in the presence of oxygen.

Turns gray hair to its natural color again, raises energy levels…Daily consumption of Wheatgrass and sprouts can turn gray hair to its natural color again, and give you a limitless energy level.

Beauty treatment that slows down the aging process…Wheatgrass will cleanse your blood and help rejuvenate aging cells, slowing the aging process down, way down, making you feel more alive now. It will help tighten loose and sagging skin.

Lessens effect of radiation…One enzyme found in Wheatgrass, SOD, lessens the effects of radiation and acts as an anti-inflammatory compound that may prevent cellular damage fol­lowing heart attacks or exposure to irritants.

Restores fertility…Wheatgrass restores fertility and promotes youthfulness.

Just soaking in it can double your red blood cell count…Dr. Bernard Jensen, found that none of the blood builders are superior to green juices and Wheatgrass. In his book Chlorophyll Magic from Living Plant Life, he mentions several cases where he was able to double the red blood cell count in a matter of days merely by having patients soak in a chlorophyll-water bath. Blood building results occur even more rapidly when patients drink green juices and Wheatgrass regularly.

Ann Wigmore on her own experience with wheatgrass…At fifty years of age my hair was gray, I had a terrible case of colitis and other colon problems, I suffered from low energy and had no clear direction in life. Out of desperation I turned to nature for relief. …In Wheatgrass, raw foods and exercise, I found what I feel is as close to the fountain of youth as we are going to get. Twenty-five years after my discovery, my hair was turned fully natural brown again. My weight has been a stable 119 and my energy level is limitless…Thank you Dr. Ann Wigmore .

So, why should everyone drink wheatgrass juice?

In essence, the same life force in nature that explodes into groceries every spring can be transferred into the human body via the consumption of wheatgrass juice. The body can then use this super-nutritious, vital energy to heal and repair itself as needed.”

The Health Benefits of Wheatgrass

Dr. Ann Wigmore is one of the pioneers in discovering the vast health benefits of wheatgrass in healing the body. Wheatgrass is used to help the body heal itself in cases of disease, injury, toxification, etc. Some animals are observed to eat grasses when injured or ill, but not when in good health. Likewise, it is not natural for people to rely on wheatgrass juice for nutrition when healthy. However, wheatgrass has many uses. Besides ingesting the juice, it can be applied in poultices to injuries, or cosmetically to tighten skin, or add luster to hair. It is also used in conjunction with colon cleansing. The grass itself can be chewed rather than juiced, and trays of wheatgrass can be placed strategically to freshen the air in any room.

Wheatgrass juice is an excellent healer because it acts to produce an unfavorable environment for bacterial growth. The main ingredient is the “crude” chlorophyll. Wheatgrass, which is one of the best sources of liquid chlorophyll, neutralizes toxins in the body, reduces high blood pressure, improves blood sugar problem, helps with skin and eye health, helps detox and cleanse the colon and purify the liver, increases heart function, improves digestion, increases strength and endurance, and can even prevent tooth decay.

Wheatgrass also contains over 100 elements including: vitamins A, B, C, E and K and the minerals Calcium, Magnesium, Iron, Phosphorus, Potassium, Sodium, Sulphur, Cobalt, and Zinc.
