Filmmaker Records Effects of Eating Only McDonald's For a Month
excerpted from www.rawfood.com/mcdonalds.html
Called Super Size Me: A Film of Epic Portions, this film is a sometimes comic but nevertheless serious look at America's addiction to fast food. Morgan Spurlock, a tall New Yorker of usually cast-iron constitution, made himself the guinea pig in this dogged investigation into the effects of fast food on the body. He ate only at McDonald's for a month - three meals, every day - and took a camera crew along to record it. Neither Spurlock, 33, nor the three doctors who agreed to monitor his health during the experiment were prepared for the degree of ruin it would wreak on his body. Within days, he was vomiting up his burgers and battling with headaches and depression. And his sex drive vanished. When Spurlock had finished, his liver, overwhelmed by saturated fats, had virtually turned to paté. "The liver test was the most shocking thing," said Dr Daryl Isaacs, who joined the team to watch over him. "It became very, very abnormal." Spurlock put on nearly 12kg [c. 25 pounds] over the period and his cholesterol level leapt from a respectable 165 to 230. He told the New York Post: "I got desperately ill. My face was splotchy and I had this huge gut, which I've never had in my life ...".
Comment by Healing Cancer Naturally
I have watched the DVD Super Size Me and it was both interesting and entertaining. I
have two critical thoughts, however:
1. One man’s experience obviously does not constitute proof that his personal results are applicable to everyone.
2. Spurlock’s developing health problems supposedly were due to his exclusively ingesting McDonald's fare 3x per day, containing among other “nasties” a daily pound of sugar. He was however also taking in about double the caloric amount his
nutritionist told him he required, i.e. instead of 2500 nearly 5000 calories. Now how many of his nascent serious health problems were attributable to the simple fact that
he “grossly” overate? In other words, would a person eating solely McDonald's fare but within their caloric requirements be less negatively affected? My feeling is that this would indeed be the case.
Let me hasten to add that I do consider most fast food rather unwholesome, unecological/non-sustainable and unethical and personally have never eaten it in my life (...oh yes, I once had a cheeseburger!).

Metabolic Typing
Strongly endorsed by natural medicine’s heavy-weight Dr. Mercola and with readers reviews ranging from ”The Metabolic Typing Diet is truly the missing link on the nutritional information scene ... Read it. It will change your life.” to ”Save your money!”, William Wolcott, author of The Metabolic Typing Diet contends, To Succeed at Any Diet, You Must Know Your Metabolic Type...
Excerpted from mercola.com/2002/dec/18/metabolic_typing.htm: ”...the idea of metabolic typing is not new. The roots of the concept of metabolic individuality can be traced to antiquity. The 5,000 year old East Indian system of medicine known as Ayurveda was based on the interaction of the 5 elements and the 7 energy centers in the individual and primary treatment addressed one’s dosha (one's metabolic type) before it addressed the symptom or disease. Similarly, the ancient system of Chinese medicine recognized 5 elemental, constitutional types. Diagnosis and treatment in ancient Egyptian medicine was based on the 7 organ systems in the body. Greek physicians were concerned, as Hippocrates stated, with the patient who has the disease instead of the disease that has the patient, and evaluated the 4 humors (liver-bile metabolic types). The ancient Roman philosopher Lucretius is attributed with the saying, ”One man’s meat is another man’s poison.”
”How can one best selling book say one thing about nutrition, and the other bestseller say just the opposite? Why will a certain diet give my friend energy and help to lose weight but make me tired and gain weight? How can someone eat the best organic foods, take the finest nutritional supplements that money can buy, get plenty of rest, exercise regularly... and still not feel well?”
Wolcott’s answer is that for genetic reasons, people are biochemically or metabolically different: ”Due to widely varying hereditary influences, we all process or utilize foods and nutrients very differently”, so ”[u]nless you match your nutrition to your metabolism, you'll only be wasting your time and money! ... Thus, the very same nutritional protocol that enables one person to lead a long healthy life full of robust health can cause serious illness in someone else. ... there is no one diet that is right for everyone, i.e., there never has been and there never will be a universally healthy diet. Second, the only healthy diet is the one that meets one’s genetically-based requirements -- not what some book or diet expert says is right. Eat a diet that is right for your metabolic type and not only can you stay healthy but you can reverse degenerative conditions as well.”
This metabolic individuality acc. to Wolcott includes things like foods classified as "alkalinizing" being actually acidifying to people who are ”oxidative dominant”, and likewise for "acidifying" foods:
”The metabolic type defines the way in which the body reacts to nutrients. Different metabolic types react differently to the same nutrient. For example, in one metabolic type 100 milligrams of potassium or eating, say, an orange (also high in potassium), will cause the body’s pH to shift alkaline and produce a sedating effect. But in a different metabolic type, the same amount of potassium or an orange will produce an acid shift and a stimulating response. This has been observed tens of thousands of times through both objective metabolic type testing as well as through changes in symptomatology.”
”ANY ADVERSE SYMPTOM OR DEGENERATIVE CONDITION CAN ARISE DUE TO VIRTUALLY OPPOSITE BIOCHEMICAL IMBALANCES.”
”This same principle applies to any adverse health complaint, from simple to complex, from cramps to cardiovascular disease (CVD), from rashes to rheumatoid arthritis. For example, we have seen just as many cases of high cholesterol and CVD resolve through a high carbohydrate, low fat, low protein diet as we have seen resolve through the opposite low carb, high protein, high fat diet. Match the diet to the metabolic type and any degenerative condition has a chance to reverse. But eat the wrong foods for the metabolic type, even high quality, organic foods, and degenerative processes will only worsen.”
”The implications of these premises are staggering. If they are true, then allopathic nutrition has no rational basis. Seeking a common therapy for all people for every condition is a wild goose chase and is doomed to failure. Any success with that approach has been and will continue to be by chance -- not systematic, reliable predictability.”
”If any nutrient or food can have totally opposite influences, biochemically speaking, in different people, how can there be a treatment, for any condition, that can work for all people?”
”The answer is that there can’t be only one treatment. This is precisely why what works for one person can worsen the same condition in another person. This is why what makes your friend thin can make you fat. This is why what improves energy and performance for one person can worsen it in another. As it turns out, metabolic typing explains why Lucretius’ adage, ”One man’s food is another man’s poison,” is literally true.”
”And, if it is true that two people with the same degenerative disease can have virtually opposite biochemical imbalances, and that when two opposite biochemical protocols are administered the problem resolves, then this clearly means that it’s not the diseases that should be treated but the underlying metabolic type imbalances that have caused the diseases that need be addressed.”
”From this viewpoint, the diseases are not the problems; they are the symptoms, the manifestations, the expressions of the underlying, foundational imbalances. The reality of metabolic individuality demands that the person who has the disease -- not the disease that has the person -- be treated!”
”These premises of metabolic typing also explain why scientific research on nutrition is usually so inconclusive and produces such inconsistent results. For example, researchers have been confounded why calcium can lower blood pressure in some but raise it in others. Similar findings occurred with the effect of potassium. Until research on the effect of a given nutrient on a given condition is performed on a like metabolic type subject population, you will always see variable results.”
”In summary: Biochemical individuality is responsible for the fact that nutrients behave differently in different metabolic types.”
”The variable influences of nutrients on different metabolisms along with the same condition arising from totally different biochemical imbalances make it impossible to treat conditions with a standardized treatment protocol.”
”Successful, predictable, reliable therapy can only be chosen once you know the metabolic type because only then will you know how nutrients behave in that person’s metabolism.”
”Degenerative conditions account for well over 80% of all of the adverse conditions that afflict the peoples of our country. This means that only a little over 1 out of every 10 people that go to doctors has crises or infectious conditions that require and respond to allopathic treatments.”
”...through the research that has been done over the past 25 years, there is available a systematic, testable, repeatable and verifiable advanced nutritional technology that enables people to discover their own unique dietary needs with a very high degree of precision. This technology is known as Metabolic Typing. Through metabolic typing those often mysterious, seemingly unanswerable questions become perfectly clear and answerable indeed.”

The same site also provides ”Research-Based Appraisals of Alternative Diet Lore” (at beyondveg.com/cat/research/index.shtml) with articles such as ”Comparative Anatomy and Physiology Brought Up to Date: Are humans natural frugivores/vegetarians or omnivores/faunivores?”, ”Drawbacks to relying exclusively on clinical studies of diet.”, ”Failure to thrive: Your health is more important than raw/veg*n dietary dogma.”, ”Rationalizations in response to the evolutionary and hunter-gatherer evidence for omnivorous diets.”, ”Fruit Is Not Like Mother's Milk: The Nutritional Fallacies of a Popular Fruitarian Myth Exposed.”, ”Longevity and Health in Ancient Paleolithic vs. Neolithic Peoples”, ”Evolution vs. Creationist Pseudoscience”.

On Food & Drug (Alcohol, Nicotine etc.) Cravings and Addictions: Release & Recovery Tips
When embarking on a healthier diet and lifestyle, some (or likely numerous) people will see themselves (occasionally or repeatedly) plagued by tantalizing visions of their former favourite dishes, treats and/or addictive substances which their planned new regimen doesn’t allow them to consume. Such cravings and desires could even be the bane of any attempt at living a healthier life. To come to terms with any such cravings, there seem to be several options available: More
Why do some health (food) ”gurus” get sick?
by Ulla, creator & webmaster of Healing Cancer Naturally, © 2004 & 2005
On this subject, I read the following in the editorial of Positive Health Magazine, Issue 76: “How many times have you heard over the years
of well-known figures within the complementary medicine community, who have suffered terrible back pain, cancer, ulcerative colitis, heart attack, anorexia, and the list can go on and on. I have
spoken to many highly respected practitioners over the years with many afflictions; in fact, it is well-known that many practitioners were originally introduced to their complementary vocations through
their frustration with ill-health and the repeated failure of conventional treatments to provide relief.
Celebrities and leading figures are hypocritical in their reluctance to
admit or talk about being ill; it is strangely perverse that often our first reaction to hearing that a renowned practitioner whom we respect highly is suffering from cancer, or has had surgery for back
pain, or has suffered a heart attack, is surprise or disappointment, as though people who are healers, physicians or whatever discipline, should somehow ‘know’ enough to not get sick. This is somehow
connected to the widespread, totally erroneous New Age notion that we are all responsible for our health and illness, and if we get sick and die, it is somehow our own fault; that we created it ourselves.
So, just as we don’t expect our revered religious or spiritual leaders or gurus to be found guilty of moral, financial or criminal improprieties, we don’t expect health professionals to get sick.
Complementary health professionals tend to be embarrassed by being sick; attitudes expressed by their colleagues can at times be viciously critical, even suggesting that their illness is proof that their
particular therapeutic approach is not valid. Ridiculous and cruel examples of such attitudes include suggestions that because Linus Pauling died of cancer despite consuming large quantities of vitamin
C, this proves that vitamin C is worthless against cancer, that because Aveline Kushi died from cancer Macrobiotics is an invalid dietary approach. I have heard similar sentiments expressed about
people who died despite undergoing the Gerson therapy, or about chelation therapy being invalid because individuals undergoing chelation therapy died from heart conditions.
Considering the enormous toxic chemical environmental assaults upon our lives, the depletion from the soil of vast quantities of hugely essential nutrients, the large number of harmful additives
added to our food and water, not to mention health- destroying drugs, chemicals and other poisons present throughout the entire food chain, it is a wonder that any one of us is relatively healthy at all.
Catherine Crawford’s dramatic tale of very serious illness and then recovery upon removal of her mercury amalgam dental fillings is an unimaginable tale of epic proportions, particularly when read in
conjunction with the battle by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) to overturn the gagging rule upon the dentists previously enforced by the American Dental Association (ADA) (sidebar within
the article). Becoming seriously ill due to ingesting powerful poisons such as mercury, should be recognized as inevitable, not as some imaginary figment of the poor individual’s imagination – the ‘it’s all
in the mind’ brigade, espoused for decades and imposed upon sufferers of chronic fatigue, and more latterly Gulf War Syndrome. It’s the poisons, stupid, as anyone with a brain can see.
We shouldn’t waste our precious energy in divisive actions such as blaming people for getting ill; rather, redouble our efforts to help them regain their health.
And as it looks as though health-conscious consumers will be
coming up against some of the most powerful corporations and lobbies in the world, including the might of the agri-business and the pharmaceutical lobbies, it is important, even vital, that those of us
who care deeply about genuine health and natural approaches to prevent and treat illness, do our utmost to try to protect ourselves and nurture our own health, as a prelude to what appears to be a
very long battle ahead to re-instate our basic health freedoms.” (© Positive Health Publications Limited, 1994-2002)
Personally, I agree with the statements above that the ubiquitous ”poisons” and negative influences coupled with long-standing soil depletion and often deleterious eating habits are a major culprit in making people ill. The rise in cancer incidence over the last 100 years (affecting c. one person in 50 in 1900, while c. 1 in 3 in 2003) is just one example bearing testimony to the fact that something in our environment incl. our food sources is seriously off the healthy norm.
What I would add however is that factors such as ”unhealed” wounded emotions, overwork, stress of all kinds, accidents and other physical harm shouldn’t be underestimated, in fact I think any of these elements can play a crucial role in making even an otherwise health-conscious person sick. See Emotions, Mind, Energetics and Dr. Ryke Geerd Hamer’s ”German New Medicine”.
I don’t quite agree with the remark ”the widespread, totally erroneous New Age notion that we are all responsible for our health
and illness, and if we get sick and die, it is somehow our own fault; that we created it ourselves.” I rather feel that the concept of ultimate (karmic) responsibility and ”learning (love and compassion)
through suffering” is the most compassionate view of worldly affairs. How else could one otherwise possibly ”live” with the fact that there are people starving to death, losing their eyesight due to
malnutrition, being tortured and otherwise abused right at this moment (in spite perhaps of one’s constant efforts through personal activism) without ”going insane” (and this is not even mentioning the
billion-fold suffering inflicted upon animals by man, both in conventional ”meat” and dairy production and vivisection)?
Compare the complete list of Healing Cancer Naturally articles on Cancer Research,
Toxicity Testing & Animal Experimentation: an Unholy Union?
So the same kind of thinking would indeed make everyone incarnated at this time karmically co-responsible, incl. for the polluted world we find ourselves in, i.e. for the toxins and environmental pollution.
I do feel that the question ”why suffering” is one of the most difficult and profound questions to answer and my personal feelings are just that - and preliminary. Incidentally, a channeled entity called Matthew (see matthewbooks.com) has repeatedly maintained that the suffering currently experienced in the world is going far beyond karmic lesson learning, and has attributed it to other factors.
Edgar Cayce’s General Nutrition and Diet Recommendations
by http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/seventhmoon/orion/ republished with permission
These are some of the nutrition principles taken from the Edgar Cayce research papers.
Cayce cautioned against combining starches with sweets as this can cause an alcoholic reaction. [Explanation: combining starches with sugar is likely to lead to alcoholic fermentation in the intestines. Compare Dr. F.X. Mayr’s (1875 - 1965) insights into the intimate relation of intestinal health to general health and beauty. For details re recommended proper food combining, see Food Combining Table according to Dr. Hay & Dr. Walb.]
Cayce advised people to use vitamin pills and the like for a duration and then to leave off and then to resume, stressing the point that the body must not get dependant on them and thus fail to make the necessary substances required for the proper digestion of food.
Vitamins do not, will not supply the energies as well as a meal a day consisting of raw salad.
Compare Edgar Cayce’s concise reading on vitamins.
Cayce also gave the principle that fresh food energies decrease in a matter of hours after being picked, in fact he advised that food
picked should be as fresh as possible.
Re benefits of fresh vine-ripened foods, compare Natural Dietary Sources: Which Foods Contain Glyconutrients? and On Supplementing, Natural & Commercial Glyconutrients and Cancer.
He also said that it would even be better to have foodstuffs from the local area to acclimatise the person to that environment.
Also mentioned was that freezing destroys much of the goodness in vegetables.
He cautioned that no one can hate his neighbour and not have stomach or liver trouble and jealousy and the anger of it will be damaging to the heart.
Compare Emotions.
People should eat slowly giving time to the process.
The specifics of Cayce nutrition
Wheat [rolled, crushed or cracked] featured highly in the Cayce regime stressing that it would be good for the body and the mental forces acting on the body.
Beware of all fried foods, fats of any kind and greases.
He cautioned against using any white bread at all.
He cautioned against too much red meat.
He was against too much sugars and starches saying sweets should
be obtained from natural sources like fruits, grapes, honey.
Highly recommended were fresh vegetables such as cabbage, celery, lettuce, carrots, watercress, onions, saying that one meal every day
should be composed of fresh if not raw vegetables.
Potato skins and plenty of the legumes, peas, beans and the like should be taken.
The ratio that was given on the consumption of vegetables was three
above the ground to one beneath.
More of the vitamins are obtained from tomatoes than any other growing vegetable. meridianinstitute.com/newslet/Vol6-2/6-2.html specifies: Edgar Cayce was a big advocate of tomatoes, both raw and
cooked. When asked about the effects of eating an abundance of tomatoes he responded, “Quite a dissertation might be given as to the effect of tomatoes upon the human system. Of all the vegetables,
tomatoes carry most of the vitamins in a well-balanced assimilative manner for the activities in the system. Yet if these are not cared for properly, they may become very destructive to a physical organism;
that is, if they ripen after being pulled, or if there is the contamination with other influences.”
In numerous instances, Cayce also advised eating canned tomatoes
unless they were fresh and vine-ripened: “Beware of raw tomatoes, unless well-ripened on the vine - not those gathered green and then ripened. Preferably use these cooked or canned, rather than raw
unless well ripened when gathered from the vine.” When canned, he cautioned against using sodium benzoate as a preservative. Cayce didn’t make any specific statements regarding tomatoes as protecting
against prostate cancer, but seemed to regard tomatoes, properly harvested and prepared, as having general health benefits. Perhaps future research will uncover additional positive effects of eating tomatoes!
According to the above, there is a big difference between tomatoes and tomatoes, one type being a powerful health-promoting influence, the other a destructive one.
Vegetables will build gray matter [of the brain] faster than will any meat or sweets.
There is no edible substitute for green foods. They appear to be
unique in the properties they have within them.
Almonds have some fantastic property, according to Cayce taking 2-3 of them every day will ward off any inclination towards cancer.
He said that almonds carry more phosphorus and iron in a combination more easily assimilated than any other nut.
Compare Almonds in the Cayce Readings Compared to Current Medical Research.
Water was to be drunk and about 6-8 glasses a day was recommended, the water was to be spring or distilled and not of the tap variety.
Coffee and tea should never be taken with cream or milk because it forms a curd, which hinders your digestion.
Fruit juice and milk should not be taken together.
Cayce often advised people to leave milk alone.
Compare Milk and the cancer connection.
Apples should not be eaten raw unless as part of the detox plan outlined later, cooked or boiled is fine.
Salsify is a vegetable recommended by Cayce, which also has advantageous ingredients such as gold, phosphorous, iron and silicon.
Cooking methods
Cayce said that you should not use aluminum cookware for some people.
A recommended method of cooking was to use the steam pressure
cookers as this preserves the value of foods.
The use of condiments destroys much of the value of foods.
An added advice not mentioned by Cayce is bin your microwave, a
gag order was tried to be placed on two Swiss researchers because they found more carcinogens in microwaved food.
Assimilation and elimination
These are the two keystones of what makes us tick, in fact Cayce said if we could control these aspects of the human form we could extend life to whatever we chose, that's how important these two principles are.
Assimilation is defined as the measure of the ability of any body to utilize foods that we eat. Some people think that having massive doses of nutrition will give them all that they need, they could not be more wrong, it is all right shoving nutrition in but it is quite another thing if the body can absorb it and use it in that form.
Typical assimilation rates might vary from 20% to 80% and nutrition supplied in some forms will not be absorbed at all.
What happens to the food after you swallow it depends to a large degree on the other three principles of your body namely circulation,
relaxation and elimination. Circulation is crucial if assimilation is to be maintained at high levels. Circulation is helped greatly by some important factors; exercise, massage, hydrotherapy treatments and
osteopathic adjustments. Because the blood stream carries the rebuilding forces to the body it is the circulation channels which need to be clear and stimulated so that the blood will flow to feed the cells and tissues.
Compare It’s not what you ingest, but what you usefully absorb.
Elimination
Everything which your body does, every activity produces waste and we get rid of that waste through the skin, the lungs, the kidneys and the intestines. Major problems start to occur when any of these channels are stopped from doing their job, we start to accumulate waste, bacteria start growing at alarming rates which leads to all sorts of problems as we become toxic.
The fact that poor eliminations are the most cited cause of disease within the Cayce papers totalling over 14000 gives you some idea of just how important this aspect really is: getting rid of toxins.
In extreme cases of toxemia Cayce recommended a controlled fast or a three-day raw apple diet to clear the system and restore balance.
A great deal of elimination takes place through the lungs by means of deep breathing and Cayce placed great emphasis on this aspect recommending some of the breathing techniques as used in yoga.
Of course exercise plays a very important role here driving out wastes into the lungs and speeding up circulation, helping digestion, helping elimination of wastes through the skin.
Cayce used certain foods to help elimination such as leafy vegetables and in the mornings or evenings stewed figs, raisons, apricots or
pears occasionally. Cayce said that it would be good for everyone to have a colonic occasionally.
Compare Detoxification.
Circulation
Just impeding the flow to the brain for a few minutes will cause permanent brain damage, such is the importance of good circulation.
The blood feeds our cells, our tissues, and the better the circulation the better we feel. For all the body’s rebuilding forces come through
quicker with good circulation. Not only does the blood carry the so important chemicals, which feed our cells, but also the lymphatic system carries away our wastes. Exercise helps circulation in a big
way as does massage, hydrotherapy, osteopathy and other manipulative therapies.
Compare Activate Your Lymphatic System.
The Cayce detox
Recommended in hundreds of readings was the Cayce detox, the elimination process was found to be poor in thousands of people and the subsequent build-up of toxins and poisons was found in hundreds of people. The Cayce detox was to help rid the body of these wastes.
The lay person can easily appreciate the situation, as in your very own kitchen if you did not clean up after every meal, bacteria would have a great time multiplying and contaminating places everywhere.
So many thousands of people have been helped greatly by helping the body get rid of waste, the importance of which cannot be overestimated.
Cayce prescribed the three-day apple diet where for three days you would eat nothing but apples of the sheep-nosed type, preferably organic types like Jonathans, Delicious, Oregon reds, Arkansas black, and water. At the end of the third day, a two spoons full of olive oil was taken.
The words people used to describe their success having done this regime are ”uplifting”, ”revitalizing”, ”feeling great”, an euphoric feeling, greater mental clarity and physically more energy. It is one of the most effective ways of preventing disease. In fact Cayce said that it would cleanse all toxic forces from any body. According to Harold Reilly’s book he himself tried to detox three times a year. [A world-famous practitioner who successfully treated many celebrities ranging from Nelson Rockefeller, George Meany, Mickey Rooney, Gloria Swanson and Leslie Caron to the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, Harold Reilly condensed his 45 years experience with the Cayce therapies into The Edgar Cayce Handbook for Health Through Drugless Therapy.]
Compare Detoxification.
Massage
Frequently prescribed by Cayce in hundreds of readings, massage has been used for thousands of years with extremely good effects, some of the benefits being increased circulation and increased elimination. It can provide relaxation or stimulation. Depending on how it is given, it can help with emotionally affected people, and children have developed better from its use. It will help with depression and a hundred more complaints. It affects every part of the bodynerves organs, glands, circulation and muscular tone. Massage will help all people and Cayce advised having one from thirty minutes to an hour and a half-using cold pressed peanut and olive oil at least once a week. It can free up joints, relieve pain and soreness.
Cayce often said that the person giving the massage have some affinity with the patient. It can also build bridges of brotherly or sisterly love between people. Children with major behavioral problems have shown marked improvements in their behavior. Cayce said those who would take a peanut oil rub each week need never fear arthritis.
Also as ever Spiritual healing has been shown to be of huge and extreme benefit in many illnesses, as millions have testified; this can also help those who are just about to pass to the other side of life.

Some Edgar Cayce dietary & nutritional recommendations for individual cancer patients
Note: The following are excerpts from several readings given to various individuals who asked for help with cancer challenges. Since Cayce recognized that what may “be poison for someone, to another may be a cure” (reading 1259-2), the reader is referred to the extensive Edgar Cayce’s Dietary Advice & Recommendations for Cancer Treatment & Prevention for more generally applicable and "generic" details of what Edgar Cayce recommended for cancer cure and prevention.
”(Q) Are there any foods that should be eliminated, and if so, suggest diet?
(A) Rather use the fruit and vegetable diet. The fats should be more from nuts than meats; for these, as we find, would be most helpful - and especially cashew nuts, almonds, filberts, and the like.” (Reading 1000-11)
”Citrus fruit juices should form the greater portion of the morning meals, as should the RAW vegetables the noon meals; while the fruits, cooked or prepared vegetables or the other activities for the system should furnish the evening meals. Nuts, especially almonds, filberts and the like, should form the greater portion of the oils or fats for the body.” (Reading 967-2)
”Hence, there should be a reduction in sugars - only taking those sugars from fruits and from the vegetables; with the fats that would be from nuts, preferably. Use rather almonds and filberts than black walnuts, English walnuts or even Brazilian nuts; though these will be helpful at times, but very small amounts of same.” (Reading 787-1)
Eliminate from the diet all fats, meats, heavy oils of any kind. (4438-1)
"Those who would eat two to three almonds each day need never fear cancer." (Reading 1158-31)
"If an almond is taken each day, and kept up, you'll never have accumulations of tumors or such conditions through the body." (Reading 3180-3)
Almonds were recommended in the following readings (breast cancer), as part of a diet emphasizing leafy vegetables and low (or no) meat and fat:
"Eat an almond each day - one almond - the body will have no more trouble or recurrence of this nature through the system." (Reading 3515-1)
"Almonds, Brazilian nuts, cashew nuts, and the like, are well. Almonds, especially." (Reading 4438-1)
