DEATH BY DIET According to Hippocrates, the father of medicine, all disease is caused by diet. Hippocrates also said that all food is medicine, and he treated all his patients with food. He claimed in his writings to have cured cancer, which he did with large doses of garlic and onions.

GARLIC AND ONIONS In 1988, the American Cancer Institute was looking for anomalies in the cancer rate around the world. They found a province in China where the cancer rate was practically zero; yet in the next province it skyrocketed. They found that the people who had no cancer lived in mountainous regions where there was plenty of sulfur, and garlic and onions grew like wildflowers.

Garlic has been used as an antiseptic since the beginning of time. In World War I, all surgery was done with garlic packs because of its ability to kill bacteria. Today, doctors use antibiotics to kill germs, but when you stop taking the antibiotics, the stronger germs thrive. On average, antibiotics only kill 72% of the germs. When you eat garlic and onions you kill all the germs as long as you continue to have them in your diet.

SATURATED FATS DON'T CAUSE HEART DISEASE There was a cholesterol study done in the US in which subjects were divided into two groups. Both groups ate plenty of butter, toast and eggs, but the second group was given, in addition, two grams of garlic. Their cholesterol count was monitored, and it was found that the cholesterol of the first group went up by 50%; however, in the second group, it was reduced by 50%. Does that mean that butter causes your cholesterol count to go up? No, it just means that you aren't eating everything you should eat.

When we did our initial studies, we went around the world looking for people who never got sick. There are 17 cultures, 7 major cultures. The first culture we found was the Canadian Eskimos before they started eating our food. They ate only meat, not even one vegetable, and what they ate was 78% blubber. Not only did they not have heart disease, they didn't even know the meaning of cancer. Another study found that women who ingest at least 20 grams (3/4 tbs.) of saturated fat daily have half the rate of breast cancer. High fat diets are also linked to fewer strokes. Another study demonstrated that men with the smallest amount of fat in their diets had twice the risk of suffering a stroke as men who had 10% more fat. In addition, all kinds of scientific studies show that eggs have nothing to do with cholesterol counts.

UNSATURATED AND HYDROGENATED FATS DO CAUSE HEART DISEASE Research shows that it is usually unsaturated fats which raise your cholesterol. A good example is margarine. In one study, the cholesterol levels of identical twins were monitored. One group was given butter and the other, margarine. The margarine group always had a 50% higher cholesterol level than the butter group. This occurs because the unsaturated fats and hydrogenated fats induce the body to generate high amounts of cholesterol. If an oil is man-made, watch out. Naturally occurring, saturated fats such as olive oil don't raise your cholesterol. We have been stuck with this myth about cholesterol for too long. Science says, eat the butter, eat the eggs. Everything God made for you is good. Anything artificial such as Crisco, margarine and man-made corn oil - all those things are linked to heart disease and cancer. So it's quite simple. Eat the things that are natural.

Biochemists know the most important molecule in the body is cholesterol. It is the building block of your cells and every hormone in your body. Testosterone and estrogen are cholesterol derivatives. The brain is made up of 78% cholesterol!

CALCIUM IN TRADITIONAL CULTURES We visited the Azerbaijans, the Hunzas of northern Pakistan, the Georgians, the Tibetans, the Chinese, the Titicaca Indians of Peru, and the Vilcabamba Indians in Ecuador. We found at least one common denominator: they all lived high in the mountains, and we knew that calcium was a factor. In the mountains, water comes from the glaciers, and the glacier water contains ground up rock; it looks very turbid and white. The Indians refer to it as "the milk of the mountains". Every liter of water contains 8,000 mg. of undissolved calcium, and they drink three to five liters a day. Their vegetables are also loaded with calcium. We calculated they ate 150,000 mg. of calcium a day. It was astounding. Doctors say more than 1,200 mg. could be toxic, yet these people never get sick. The only consequence is that they have no diseases and they live long. When we looked at their other nutrients, we found they consume 100 times the RDA of everything. There is no such thing as overdosing on vitamins and minerals. This is a myth designed to prevent you from consuming them.

CORAL CALCIUM There is one more culture that is an exception. The Okinawans of Japan do not live in the mountains, but they live on an island of calcium, a coral reef. For hundreds of years, the people have been consuming this calcium. Today, over 13 million people on mainland Japan take coral calcium in supplement form every day and Japan ships it all over the world, and the claims for what it does are staggering.

I discovered coral calcium in 1982 when we started our research, but it only came to North America a few years ago. I have talked to dozens of people who had multiple sclerosis and leukemia who don't have them any more. We have seen hundreds of terminal patients who are now healthy.

CORAL CALCIUM ABSORPTION The trouble with non-coral calcium is that it is hard to absorb. Studies show you only absorb 5% of most forms of calcium. However, coral calcium is predigested; it is ionized. Coral calcium shows up in your blood within ten minutes of taking it. That is unusual because your digestive process is a 10 to 20 hour procedure.

OXYGEN AND ALKALINITY The blood has a compound called calcium monoorthophosphate, and that is what keeps the blood alkaline. When something is alkaline it holds 20 times as much oxygen.
