Processed foods are products containing ingredients that do not occur in nature. People call them foods but they’re more like synthesized food-like products. So, what exactly are processed foods? These will often be the items that don’t need refrigeration, like chips, processed breads, candy, and sodas. One quick way to find out is to grab a can or box from your kitchen and read the label. If it has a long list of ingredients you cannot pronounce or cannot produce without a lab, it is processed…

Step 4: Hyper-Nourish Yourself with Raw Plant Foods                                                                                                                                    Did you know that all of the original medication came from plants? The key to getting the maximal nourishment from plants is eating them raw…Eat as much greens, raw fruits, and vegetables as you like. The most potent vegetables in terms of nutrient density are dark leafy greens like spinach and cruciferous vegetables like broccoli and kale. Most of your food intake should come from these raw vegetables.

Water is essential for most chemical reactions in the body to take place. This means you can have all of the essential ingredients for your health to improve, but without enough water the reactions will not take place or it will be sluggish.
The FDA recommends eight glasses of water a day (eight ounces each), which equals sixty-four ounces a day, regardless of body size. In my opinion, that is enough to maintain health, but not enough to improve health…(end)

Whitney Lee’s remarkable success is one of the many inspiring patient stories that are shared in Dr. Goldner’s book too. Ms. Lee was diagnosed with both Type 1 diabetes, and Celiac Disease, before she started following the book’s plant-based diet. In addition to dealing with the issues of multiple illnesses, Whitney also had chronic stomach pain. Although it was difficult for her to eat a mostly raw plant-based diet (she was a high school student surrounded by other students eating cooked food, and junk food), Whitney stuck with the 4 week Rapid Recovery Program. After eating fruit everyday in her smoothies, she discovered that her blood sugars were significantly lower, and that she could use a lot less insulin (carbohydrates and sugar do not cause diabetes btw, as the most recent studies point to the saturated fat from eating meat as a root cause). Whitney also noticed that her stomach pain went away and that she had more energy too. After 4 weeks of being on Dr. Goldner’s program (a raw vegan diet), she no longer tested positive for celiac. Whitney slowly reintroduced gluten foods and no longer had a negative reaction.

This is exciting news, and reminded me of Dr. Zachary Bush’s take on gluten and glyphosate (from an interview with John Robbins). Glyphosate is a biocide that is used on GMO crops by agrochemical companies like Monsanto. Glyphosate is not only linked with cancer, but it also destroys our microbiome, which negatively impacts our health in countless ways. Dr. Bush explains that when patients who are non Celiac, but still have typical gluten sensitive symptoms (bloating, poor digestion, irregular bowel movements, diarrhea and constipation cycles, brain fog, and other gut issues), are put on gluten free diets, over 85% still report symptoms. So, even though gluten keeps being blamed for the whole gluten sensitivity phenomenon and everything else, the deeper story is that glyphosate is the likely trigger for the population phenomenon to have occurred in the first place. And by eliminating gluten, we are only dealing with one of the many exposures that we’re going to have to glyphosate. As a result, Dr. Bush believes that 85% of the people who are suffering with gut issues that have been attributed to gluten sensitivity, are really showing that they’re sensitive to glyphosate. And so, even if we decrease the gluten in our diet, and possibly experience fewer symptoms, we are still going to be exposed to glyphosate due to its high prevalence in our food system. According to Dr. Bush, “the United States needs to come to terms with the fact that it doesn’t have a gluten problem, it has a glyphosate problem. If we get rid of glyphosate, not only can we tolerate gluten better, we’re gonna tolerate the vast array of dietary sensitivities and allergies that now afflict our children. Our children are sensitive to just about every food they put in their body, because the leak across their gut is so profound.”
