Super
Size Me is a MUST SEE! It's
a very entertaining color documentary on the dangers
of a 30-day "McDonald's only" diet. (It discusses
the reduction in our dieter, Morgan Spurlock's,
sex drive, so preview it before showing the whole
thing to your kids. Perhaps you'll only want to
show them excerpts.) You'll see the rapid deterioration
of Morgan's health as he enjoys his 100% junk
food diet. We also learn the results of his routine
physicals as we follow him on this diet: liver
damage, cholesterol skyrocketing, fatigue, depression
and mental confusion — the usual results
of the Standard American Diet.
You'll see a medical doctor's amazement that a person's
liver functions could be reduced that quickly. The doctor
tries to get our dieter to quit before the 30 days are up,
but our dieter is committed to investigate the effects for
the full 30 days. When the doctor can't convince him to get
off the diet, the doctor gives our dieter the number for an
emergency room in case of heart attack or stroke!
You'll also see the natural decomposition of real french
fries as compared to the unnatural preservation of McDonald's
fries and visit two schools' lunchrooms. In the traditional
one, there are soda machines and no system of ensuring the
kids eat real food (as opposed to junk food). In the other
lunchroom, all the kids with behavior problems are served
real food made fresh daily in their cafeteria. Guess what?
All the kids' behavior problems disappear!
This is definitely a MUST SEE, especially for parents and
those whose diet is normally fast food.

| Fasting
and Eating for Health : A Medical Doctor's Program
for Conquering Disease by Joel
Fuhrman, MD, covers much of what happens on the
Master Cleanse because the Master Cleanse functions
not only as a cleanse, but also as a juice fast.
Although this book contains some scientific and
technical jargon, it is fascinating to anyone
who's done the Master Cleanse longer than 10 days
or who is interested in learning more about how
the cleanse influences body processes. He talks
about the first two to three days being the worst,
the tongue coating, and the sense of energy and
clear headedness that Master Cleansers routinely
experience.
His own story will be interesting to anyone on the alternative
health "road." Dr. Fuhrman was injured as a young
man. After a year with no results from orthodox American medicine,
he rejected experimental surgery and looked for answers in
other forms of healing. He remembered his arthritic father
restored his health with fasting and that led him to Dr. Herbert
Shelton's Health School in San Antonio. After a fast of 46
days, Dr. Fuhrman could walk again. A year later he placed
third in the World Professional Figure Skating Championships!
Although Dr. Fuhrman repeatedly says in this
book that juice fasts do not produce the same
changes in metabolism and benefits as a pure water
fast, I have myself experienced and have heard
from and read the benefits and experiences of
literally hundreds of Master Cleansers, and the
results are the same without the need for bed
rest that water fasting requires.

Pottenger's
Cats: A Study in Nutrition reports
on an experiment that included 900 cats over four
generations. The cats were divided into five groups.
All the groups were supplied the same basic minimal
diet, but the major portion of the diets were
varied. Two of the groups were fed raw foods (raw
milk and meat - real foods for cats). The other
three groups were given processed foods: pasteurized,
evaporated and condensed milk.
All four generations of the raw meat and raw milk groups
remained healthy throughout their normal life spans. The first
generation of all three processed food groups developed diseases
and illnesses near the end of their lives. The second generation
of all three processed food groups developed diseases and
illnesses in the middle of their lives. The third generation
of all three processed food groups developed diseases and
illnesses in the beginning of their lives and many died before
six months of age. There was no fourth generation in any of
the three processed food groups. Either the third generation
parents were sterile or the fourth generation cats died before
birth! Remember, all four generations of the raw food groups
were healthy throughout their normal life spans.
Does this give you an understanding of why so many children
are now developing cancer? Why there were no fertility clinics
30 years ago?
There is no similar experiment in medical literature. The
findings were supervised by Dr. Pottenger along with Dr. Alvin
Foord, professor of pathology at the University of Southern
California and pathologist at the Huntington Memorial Hospital
in Pasadena. These studies met the most rigorous scientific
standards of their day.

Steps to Raw Foods: How to End Your Addiction
to Cooked Food is Victoria
Boutenko's 12-step approach to freeing people
from what she describes as cooked food addiction.
Personally, I think the Master Cleanse is an
easier way to enable people to change their diet
by eliminating or reducing cravings for the standard
American diet. I have found, and heard from many
others, that eliminating the toxins from the standard
American diet results in a natural
desire to eat healthy food and a disinterest in
the unhealthy, but tasty foods. So, less will
power is required.
However, Victoria makes some wonderful points. Her chapter
on living with people who are still eating the standard American
diet is great. My wife used it to get me to try the raw food
diet.
In addition, Victoria has some good recipes. My wife thinks
this is the best raw food recipe book because Victoria gives
you the basics of raw food preparation and her recipes have
been tested by thousands of people wanting to switch from
the Standard American Diet.
Whether you are going to change your diet to 100% raw vegetables,
fruits, seeds and nuts or not, this book is very worthwhile...by
the way, if you ever get a chance to hear Victoria speak live,
do it. She speaks straight from the heart and the information
is excellent.

The
Cause of Suppression by L.
Ron Hubbard offers a clear-cut method for eliminating
the worst kind of stress, suppression. The elimination
of being put down, being fed only bad news, and
being made to feel you're nothing can produce
an amazing result beyond anything you might imagine.
This book not only details what to watch for, but also gives
a straightforward method for handling suppression.
This booklet is based on Scientology, a non-denominational
applied religious philosophy that does not define
the nature of the Supreme Being, but leaves it
to each individual to determine it for him/herself.
Instead, Scientology offers simple, straight forward,
and practical ways to better understand and deal
with yourself and others.
While many experts talk about the negative effects of stress,
few offer such a clear cut, practical handling. Return to the

The
Hidden Messages in Water by Masuro
Emoto contains remarkable color photographs taken
through a microscope of frozen water crystals.
What makes Mr. Emoto's work fascinating is that
he has discovered that all water is not the same.
Polluted water does not form beautiful crystals.
It is muted and dull. Natural spring water creates
beautiful silver and gold crystals that are bright
and magnificent.
What makes his work even more unique is that he discovered
that music, the spoken and written word, and even thought
can change the crystalline structure of water! Since we are
made up of more than 50% water, it underlines the importance
of our thoughts and those of others in controlling our state
of mind and health.

| Eat
to Live: The Revolutionary Formula for Fast and
Sustained Weight Loss by Dr. Joel
Fuhrman demonstrates the connection between the
standard American diet, disease and early death.
In chapter three of his book, he graphs the relation
between the percentage of unrefined plant food
and the percentage of deaths from cancer, heart
disease, stroke and diabetes. It's an amazing
graph. A straight line showing that the more raw
vegetarian food a population consumes the lower
the death rate from those killer diseases. He
backs it up with 27 pages of footnotes and studies!
The message of this book is hardly surprising
coming from the doctor who previously wrote Fasting
- and Eating - for Health. Although
he doesn't mention the Master Cleanse in his fasting
book, he firmly establishes the science of detoxification
through fasting and trumpets its results.
Dr. Fuhrman is a firm believer in fasting to
restore health by letting the body detoxify from
the toxins of our artificially colored, flavored,
preserved and processed food. If you read my
newsletters on Aspartame
and MSG,
you won't be surprised to read in chapter four
that he links both of those chemicals with severe
headaches and other toxic effects. After reading
this book, you'll want to do the Master Cleanse
detox diet.
In chapter two, Dr. Fuhrman applauds the revised
dietary guidelines published in the July 27, 1999
issue of the Journal of the American Heart
Association. These guidelines encourage Americans
to eat more "unrefined" plant food and less food
from "animal sources." They are supported by eight
mainstream authorities including the Nutrition
Committee of the American Heart Association, the
American Cancer Society, the American Academy
of Pediatrics, and the Division of Nutritional
Research of the National Institutes of Health.

The
Fluoride Deception by award-winning
investigative reporter Christopher Bryson.
The history of fluoride is filled with secret
studies, falsified and rigged "science." This
book uncovers the reasons for this governmental
deception and documents it with more than 130
pages of notes and references!
Fluoride has been linked with increased risks of hip fractures,
permanent brown stains on teeth, infertility, lowered IQ,
arthritis, and now cancer. It has long been used by pharmaceutical
manufacturers to reduce thyroid activity, which sometimes
manifests in obesity and fatigue.
In August 2005, eleven employee unions at the
Environmental Protection Agency (including the
union that represents the EPA scientists) petitioned
the director of the EPA to declare a moratorium
on drinking water fluoridation. They also petitioned
Congress to hold hearings on fluoride to have
it declared a cancer causing substance!
For reasons best explained in Bryson's book,
the government would rather ignore these calls
for action. (Fluoride is essential to the production
of nuclear weapons and the acknowledgment of its
dangers would open the government and prime defense
contractors to huge lawsuits)
Here's what you can do to help:
- Go to http://www.powalliance.org/campaigns.htm .
- Sign the petition.
- Click the link to send emails to your congressmen
and senators supporting the EPA unions' petitions.
- Send the petition on to others.
