 Organic and Other Natural Foods
Many people believe that organic, natural, and health foods are all about eating only vegetarian foods, such as tofu and bean sprouts. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Natural foods are usually simpler, less-complicated foods and meals. Health foods are any food that's healthy, in contrast to blatantly unhealthy foods. None of this means that natural foods have to taste bad. To the contrary, any good cook relies more on herbs and spices and less on salt and pepper to make a delicious meal. |

 BRUSSELS SPROUTS
POSSIBLE THERAPEUTIC BENEFIT:
• A good bet to inhibit cancer, especially colon and stomach
FACTS
Brussels sprouts look exceptionally good as a way to boost the body's defenses if you're worried about cancer, notably colon cancer. The sprouts are of the brassica, or cruciferous family that along with cabbage and broccoli are tops in the diets of people with low rates of cancer in general, and colon and stomach cancer in particular.
If you ask people around the world with low rates of cancer what they eat, green vegetables like brussels sprouts are mentioned consistently. |

 Edible Uses
Alfalfa's young leaves and flowers may be eaten as salad greens or potherbs. Seed sprouts can be added to salads. Alfalfa is often added to other teas to improve their flavor and nutrient profile. Its flavor is reminiscent of the scent of summer-cut hay.
Other Uses
Where alfalfa grows wild, it is an indicator of rich soil. In their search for nutrients deep in the soil, its roots can reach 120 feet in depth. Alfalfa often is planted in fallow fields and then turned under to enrich and fix nitrogen in the soil. |

 By this, I mean, for instance, cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cabbage, brussels sprouts, cauliflower, kohlrabi, and kale; fruits such as strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, melons, and oranges; and legumes, nuts, and seeds. Better carbs also include whole grains like brown rice, quinoa, and steel-cut oats.
On the other hand, the worst kind of carbs are those nutrient-deficient sweet desserts and other processed "treats" that so many Americans crave— candies, cookies, cakes, ice cream, and soda. |

A major factor in all cancer is iron. Males have twice the stored iron as females at age 40, and experience twice the rate of cancer. There is no test that tells how much iron is loose (unbound) or how much iron is actually stored in the liver. A great deal of iron is stored in the liver and also carried in red blood cells. If released from transport proteins, free unbound iron is the primary growth factor for tumors. |

 Place bell peppers and sprouts over the top of filling. Begin rolling the filling in sheet to form a tube. Use a little water to seal the edges. Cut and serve. For cucumber rolls:
Take both ends off of the cucumber. Use a vegetable peeler to peel all the skin off, discard. Use the vegetable peeler to peel the whole length of the vegetable. Keep peeling to get long thin strips of cucumber the same width of the vegetable peeler blade. Lay these strips overlapping each other approximately !4 to % inch, achieving a 6- or 7-inch width sheet. |

 General Vitality and White Light
First, we need to be open to the idea that all creations originate from Love and Light, which are then condensed into: sound vibration, electrically manifested shapes or forms, new life, such as human babies and seed sprouts. All new life is bursting with vitality, or life in action. Each has its own General Vitality (gv) at that stage. As it grows toward maturity, vitality begins to decrease. Compare, for instance, the energy exhibited by a two or three-year-old to that of a typical seventy- or eighty-year-old human. |
| There is no other food with higher enzyme content. sprouts are highly regarded for their detoxification, healing, and rejuvenation qualities.
The sprouting action of a raw seed causes it to be partially predigested, which breaks down concentrated starches into more simple carbohydrates. At the same time, protein is broken down into free amino acids. This predigestion means the sprout requires fewer enzymes from the body to complete the digestion process before use. The digestion and absorption of the food becomes more efficient. |
| Gene Monson of Lake Mills, Wisconsin has developed a system which requires no rinsing of most seeds and produces sprouts in a shorter period of time. His website, www.sproutamo.com, contains information about his sprouting device and helpful directions on sprouting various seeds, nuts, and grains.
Most of the fruits and vegetables in our supermarkets today do not contain the complete range of nutrients, compared to those of earlier times. Because of overfarming, soils have become depleted of many trace minerals that are required by our bodies for complete health. |
