I believe the road to disease can be altered, and incubation cycles disrupted, simply by consuming living foods (uncooked, non-pasteurized, minimally processed, live-enzyme containing fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds) and green foods. In fact, green foods alone have the capability of reversing the trend toward disease. The power of the nutrients in deep green leafy vegetables to heal and rejuvenate a body is unmatched by any combination of synthetic medicines or supplements.

Green foods contain chlorophyll, the green pigment found in plants. The oxygen we breathe comes from the chlorophyll in plants. Chlorophyll is identical to human blood with one exception: the center element in chlorophyll is magnesium, whereas the center element in blood is iron. Some researchers claim that chlorophyll has the ability to release magnesium from its center and absorb iron, and thus become hemoglobin. Chlorophyll literally becomes human blood. More blood means our body has more ability to disburse oxygen!

Chlorophyll also releases carbon dioxide, which helps prevent disease incubation. Green foods take carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide, the toxic byproducts of our breathing in heat and pollution, and convert them into oxygen. So it's a simple equation: green foods = oxygen = the most powerful tool we have for disease prevention and recovery.

Additionally, live green foods have enzymes that aide digestion. Enzymes rejuvenate and are responsible for virtually every chemical reaction at the cellular level .

When we increase our food's digestibility, we increase the speed with which it is eliminated from our bodies, which, in turn, helps eliminate illness. Here's why: as undigested food goes through the intestinal system, it turns to waste, attaches itself to the intestinal wall, and becomes toxic. Toxic waste is slow-acting poison to the human body. When we start eating live green foods, with their rich digestive as well as antioxidant enzymes, those toxins that have built up over the years begin to slough off and evacuate. Once they're voided, the foods we subsequently eat will be fully digested and eliminated.

Besides digestive enzymes, green foods also contain potassium and cell salts, which encourage the normal elimination process. Potassium causes the bowel to contract, while sodium causes it to expand. Aha! Eating green food abundant in potassium and cell salts will cause your intestines to contract and expand, which will gently squeeze the bowel material downwards and the result is daily, easy elimination.
