DEDICATION
This book is for all women and men who have had challenges with weight and/or poor eating habits but especially for women of color who weren't loved enough, stroked enough, encouraged enough, told how pretty they were, how smart they were, how beautiful their hair is, how nice their legs are. In other words they had to generate their own self esteem. It's hard to come by naturally when your mother or father doesn't have it. Many families exhibit dignity and self worth, but is the individuals need for self image and self esteem that brings them to light.

materialism. Sex shifted from a spiritual union between two linked souls seeking spiritual elevation to personal gratification. It became two people masturbating with each other instead of connecting to each other. And so many people turn to food. Excess weight leading to obesity became a national epidemic. Seventy percent of Americans are overweight. Fifty percent are considered clinically obese and thirty percent are considered morbidly obese. For the record, in the U.S. anything over 20% of normal is considered obese. In the rest of the world it is only 15%. For example a 52 female should normally weight 110lb. If she gains 22 pounds and weighs 133 pounds on the scale she is clinically obese. However, if asked, she would still consider herself normal weight, not obese. When I teach Juice feasting classes to break food addiction, one of the questions I always ask is, If you have to choose between not eating for 30 days or not having sex for 30 days which one would you choose? Invariable I get the answer that they have already given up sex for more than 30 days. In Europe or Asia when I ask that question no one is willing to go without sex. American men claim to make love more frequently than other countries, even Italians and Russians. This is according to a Playboy magazine survey of 5000 young men in ten countries. Somehow I cannot believe these claims when I see all the divorces. Women tell me all the time that if the sex is good, they will stay in a bad relationship. So what is the truth? Are American men lying to themselves about their sexual prowess? After forty years of research the answer is still the same. The average couple makes loves twice a week. What about singles? Are they getting less or more than couples? My survey says way less. Why do women mostly and some men turn to food rather than sex? Are they looking for love in the refrigerator? You cant find a meaningful relationship in the refrigerator! You can Love the Food, but the food cant love you back. If you suspect you are attached to food then you need to cultivate new friendships centered around $
something other than food. And if you are already a sex addict then you need to find new love in the refrigerator.

cashier girl. Finally her husband forbid her to come to the store. She didn't want him to lose his job but every time she saw blond hair in the ashtray in the car she would gain five pounds. He would always bring food home that she liked. She inhaled it and then complained about the weight. Every advice I gave her she had an excuse why she could not do it. Was she stuffing her feelings? Sallys husband owned a hardware store in the neighborhood but they lived on the top (fifth) floor of a building with a broken elevator. He never wanted to move out and he always brought his wife a bag of doughnuts every night. She finally gained more than one hundred pounds. Her intuition screamed at her but she stuffed her feelings. Her niece investigated and found his girlfriend working at the store. She made her aunt walk down the five flights of stairs to come to my office. I made her walk up and down the stairs three times a day. Once she lost fifty pounds with periodic juice feasting she was finally able to confront the husband and get rid of the girlfriend. A nursing student who did not accept her own beauty gained thirty pounds in order to remove attention to her figure. After graduation she was placed in an inner city hospital where thirty extra pounds is normal. She continued to attract men so she gained even more weight to discourage them. Finally she gained one hundred pounds and realized that her morbid obesity was not healthy. I helped her lose one hundred pounds in just over one year. Within three months she gained it all back because the flood of attention was more than she could handle. Why did she stuff her feelings instead of coming to terms with her self-esteem? Why do car accidents lead to weight gain? Why does tragedy lead to weight gain? Why do you quit smoking and then gain weight? Why does having children mean you gain weight? Why do men and women with poor self esteem or poor self-image always gain weight? The answer is as you might suspect is lack of love and self love in particular. If no one loves us then maybe we are not worthy of love. So I will stuff myself with food in order to feel loved. Maybe this %2
scenario is not you but it fits enough people so that minor variations will all apply. Learn to love yourself and feed yourself good food so that you will not gain weight as you get older. If, as you get older, your metabolism slows down, you will gain 2 pounds a year. That means in ten years you will have gained twenty pounds. So between age thirty and fifty you will have gained forty pounds. Not a good look for you or your health because that extra weight affects your heart, lungs, kidney, spleen and liver and makes them work harder shortening your life span. If you only eat one extra bite at each meal you will gain one or two pounds a year. So as you get older practice eating less at each meal or skip dinner a couple of nights a week. LOSING WEIGHT IS EASY You can easily eat a pound of steak but not a pound of spinach because of the fiber. A quart of water weighs two pounds. Therefore a gallon of water weight eight pounds. If you drink a gallon of water each day you will weigh that much more on the scale but you will urinate it out with the toxins. No calories in water means that your stomach is filled up with no calorie weight gain. You can easily lose two pounds a week or eight pounds a month. I lost forty-two pounds in four months on a raw food diet. I have helped over five thousand people lose weight in a healthy way.
JUICE FEASTING AS A WAY OF LIFE BECAUSE EVERYBODY CHEATS If you are not willing to change your diet, i.e. give up meat, coffee, sugar, dairy etc., then regular fasting will go a long way to offset negative effects. Juice fasting 3 days every month will help detoxify poisons from liver. I designed the juice feasting program because no one wants to be deprived. Everyone knows the air is polluted not only from cars and fluorocarbons but also because the ozone layer is shrinking. Everyone knows that the water is contaminated because of industrial run off from artificial fertilizer and pesticides. And of course the soil is polluted from the acid rain, radioactive fallout from %3
nuclear power plants drifting from Asia and lack of mineral nutrients. Which means that our food is polluted and toxic. We are poisoning ourselves or allowing the food producers to poison us. Juicing with organic vegetables that are locally grown or home grown is the only way to protect your self from autointoxication. We call this detoxification. The recommended schedule located in your owners manual says every thirty days you need to juice feast for three days. When the seasons change you need to juice feast seven days. What you eat on the fourth of July is not the same food you eat at Thanksgiving. What you eat for Easter Sunday is not what you eat on New Years day. Your food changes according the season so you must clean out your digestive system to prepare it for the new food. Just like you change the filter when you change your oil you must detoxify your body to prepare it for the healthy food you are now going to switch to after reading this book.

with the bad. It reduces the food value to its caloric content. When milk is homogenized it prevents fats from separating from the water. It changes the shape of the fat molecule so that it is hard for the body to metabolize it. Milk fat cells coat the lining of intestines and don't always get eliminated. These residues create mucus. If you think nothing is wrong with cow's milk then why don't you drink other domesticated mammal's milk like goat's milk, bison milk or camel's milk. Mothers milk is for baby humans and cows milk is for baby cows. That is the way nature intended it to work. After the age of three there is no need for milk in our diet.
Yogurt and cheese are living foods. Proteins are predigested by fungus (mold) or bacteria. Hard cheese should be limited to 2 oz. per day. Yogurt should be limited to 4 oz. per day. Kefir is cultured (spoiled) milk with fruit sugar added. Limit on kefir is 8 oz. per day. Butter is essentially a dead food. It has no nutrients. Butter is 100% fat from homogenized pasteurized milk. Limit on butter is one pat per day (90 calories). Before Louis Pasteur the only people who drank milk were dairy farmers. These bright Frenchmen tried to sell milk to Parisians, but it would spoil in less than a day. They called on Louis Pasteur to find a way to save the milk. He invented the process named after him. Pasteurized milk unwittingly paved the way for a lot of illness in the U.S.

best wheat to use is called Hard Red Spring Wheat. It is high in protein and is the best flour for bread. Grains are easily stored but flour spoils. Grains found in Egyptian tombs 5000 old have been sprouted. One would be wise to purchase an electric grain mill and grind one's own flour as needed. With the advent of the Industrial revolution, packaged flour would spoil because the Germ (endosperm) had oil in it, which would turn rancid after approximately three weeks. So they took out the endosperm along with the bran. Then when the Sugar, Rum, Slave trade triangle was at its height, they decided to bleach the flour, like they bleached the sugar. Some of the early abolitionists created a storm of protest and public meetings against the concept of White representing purity. These abolitionists founded the Natural Food Movements. Sylvester Graham (of Graham Crackers fame) was the leader of the protest against bleached white flour. He was the father of the Natural foods movement in this country. Unfortunately modern Graham Crackers bear no resemblance to its original concept. HIGH FIBER FOODS Adding fiber to your diet can be very easy if you plan. Grains and beans are high in fiber. Fruits are high in fiber. Fresh or dried coconut is high in fiber. Cruciferous vegetables like celery, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, and string beans are high in fiber. Leafy greens like collards; spinach, kale, mustard, and chard are high in fiber.

another worker with a chain saw cuts off their head. Sometimes the worker with the sledgehammer misses the blow and the chain saw worker has to cut the cows head off without its being stunned. The screams are horrible. The cow directly behind the one being killed can see what is in store for herself and screams in terror. This fear is communicated to the herd waiting to be slaughtered. All beef eating Americans absorb the adrenaline that saturates cow flesh, at the time of slaughter. These adrenal hormones create a heightened degree of stress in the endocrine system. No wonder we are a nation ruled by fear. Chickens are just as poorly raised as beef so unless you raise your own chicken, a word to the wise is sufficient. Mushrooms and onions and garlic are extremely helpful in eliminating residue of animal products from the body. Black mushrooms, (Shiitake) and Ganoderma, (Ling Chi) mushrooms are quite expensive but they are the best. Sea vegetables are also helpful in removing toxic substances from the body. Wakame, Arame, Hijiki, and Kombu are just some of the delicious sea vegetables that are grown here off the coasts of North America. BALANCE BY Cut consumption intake in half. If you eat 3x/day, cut to once. If you eat 7x/week, cut to 3x/week. If you eat 1x/week, cut to 2x/month. Cut type of meat. If you eat pork and beef, cut to deep chicken and fish. If you eat poultry and seafood, cut to fish only. If you eat fish, cut to deep sea only. Limit to 1/4 lb./day. Better at breakfast, at lunch makes one sleepy. Eating

WHAT'S WRONG WITH CHICKEN? You've already eliminated red meat from your diet, and chicken and poultry is next. Although chicken is sweet tasting, versatile and inexpensive it is also potentially hazardous to your health. Salmonella food poisoning commonly comes from the bacteria in uncooked chicken spreading from the cutting board to other foods being prepared. Salmonella is now a health crisis. There have been numerous television stories about it. It is now being found in eggs as well as the chickens. Bacteria grow rapidly in meat packing plants where the chickens are not cleaned properly. After the chickens have been electrocuted and scaled to remove the feathers they are placed on a hooked conveyor belt. The guts are ripped out by machine. Oftentimes the guts explode before the are completely removed. The residue from the exploded guts is supposed to be rinsed out by a special bath. However the bath water is only changed once a day. So all the chickens in the second half of the days are picking up bacteria instead of it being rinsed off. The average chicken lives 30-60 days before its killed. Egg layers live to the ripe old age of 2 years before they are sacrificed. The average life span of domesticated chickens is 15-20 years. Chickens are fed hormones, erythromycin, sulfa drugs, nitrofurans, and arsenic compounds. This is probably what causes 90% of all chickens to have cancer. Why do you think chicken nuggets became so popular? The FDA approved the
2$
use of chickens with cancer if that cancerous part was removed. Chickens have their beaks cut off and have to wear red contact lenses so they cannot see or kill the five other chickens in their birth to death cage 16" x 18". They have their toes cut off so they won't scratch. They rub against the wire cages until their feathers fall out and get skin ulcers. It is common to see eye damage, blindness, bone and muscle deformity, brain damage, paralysis, deformed beaks and joints, slipped tendons, twisted legs and swollen joints all from Vitamin and mineral deficiencies in a poor diet and overcrowded conditions. These are not isolated cases. 90% of the industry have chicken factories not chicken farms. Mr. Frank Perdue says his chickens live in a house that's chicken heaven. What he meant to say is they live in chicken hell. WHATS WRONG WITH FISH? Deep Sea, cold water fish are usually recommended. However, how many barrels of oil have been spilled in the oceans in the last five years? How many whales and dolphins have committed suicide by beaching themselves? If you've been substituting fish for the other animal products you usually eat, then it is time to cut down on your fish consumption. Limit your fish intake to twice a week. You're getting plenty of protein in vegetables, and when properly prepared are quite chewy and delicious. If you must eat fish try to eat deep, sea fish like flounder, tuna, salmon, cod, and haddock. They are less likely to be polluted. Fresh

water fish are often contaminated from toxic pollution run off into the water table. Unless you know the area quite well it is better to safe than sorry. Sometimes fish farms provide unpolluted water for their produce. But unless you've been there to see it first hand, don't take anyone's word. You can tell fresh fish by looking at the eye. It will stay clear and bright for two days. Then it will turn cloudy. Especially if it is frozen and then thawed. Press the eye to see if it bounces back. If you push it and it stays in, don't buy the fish.

9. WHATS WRONG WITH SMOKING? Robs your body of oxygen & prevents self repair
Suppresses appetite and kills taste buds. Disturbs digestion by swallowing smoke. Tobacco alone is not deadly. Following are risk factors: High fat diet increases cancer risk. Reduces appetite - create nutritional insufficiencies Reduces oxygen in blood -impaired wound healing. Increase poisons and toxins in blood increase risk for 33
lowered immune function Reduces Risks: Beta Carotene B-Vitamin Complex 2 Salads per day 10 oz. serving or more of greens and yellow vegetables.
TOBACCO AS MEDICINE
The Africans used tobacco for magic, meditation, medicine, and money. African tobacco is mildly narcotic and will induce trance and visions. At the time of European invasion, smoking tobacco in decoratively carved pipes was common in Africa. Africans introduced the art of smoking to the Moors of North Africa as an innovative tranquilizing and meditative pleasure. The gluey viscous substance oozing from the tobacco leaf was used by the Moors as a dressing for fractures, poison antidote, remedy for mange or scabies, fevers of long duration, colic, jaundice, and obstruction of the liver. The Africans chewed tobacco to keep them calm during drought or famine. In America the natives did not develop the art and science of smoking. According to Leo Wiener it is evident that the act of smoking and the use of pipes by Native Americans came from Africa. In fact their word for smoking and the African word are identical but the native word for tobacco is completely different. Only the Chiefs and wealthy Native Americans smoked regularly. The common people smoked only on special ceremonial occasions. Among Canadian Indians the word Tabagie means ceremony. Tobacco was used medicinally in the form of powders, juices, leaf poultices, and chewing balls. They used it in direct application for war wounds, poison arrows and scorpion stings. They smoked it for toothaches, chest pain congested by phlegm, and shortness of breath. 34
What make tobacco harmful? The additives and flavoring agents that the manufacturers use to make you a continual smoker. Regular tobacco will not burn out by itself. Extending agents are used to make the cigarette burn. Nicotine is addictive but when offered real cigarettes made in Turkey most American smokers will only smoke about ten cigarettes a day, where the same heavy smoker will consume two or three packs of an American brand. The paper that is used is also a carcinogen. An effective filter decreases the taste so they continue to make filters that aren't effective in removing tar or nicotine. As advertisers, they continually lie, even when caught. They will pay the fine and lie again. Toxins store themselves in fat. A high fat diet in conjunction with cigarette smoking is a walking time bomb. The reason some smokers get lung cancer and others don't is their high fat diet. Cut down on your fats and oils. Eliminate butter, cheese, and ice cream. Avoid fried foods and salad dressings. If you must smoke, you must take extra vitamins like B complex and antioxidants like Vitamins A, C, and E.

FASTING Fasting is the key to changing your downward spiral. Every healing system that I've studied recommends fasting. Some people have convinced themselves that if they don't eat for three days, they will die. You can go 7 days without water and 30 days without food with no serious damage to the body. A 3 Day Detox is easy once you've determined to make the change in your life and you believe that you will derive some benefit from it. It is difficult to make a lifestyle change if you are under heavy stress. There are spiritual benefits as well as physical benefits from fasting. Moses, Jesus, Mohammed, and Buddha all fasted 40 days for spiritual enlightenment. You can fast three days and receive emanations from heaven while reducing the negative pull from earthly vibrations. MASSAGE A series of massages will go a long way in relieving some of the surface stress. There are many types of body work that come under the heading of masso-therapy. Rolfing is deep tissue massage. Hellerwork is deep tissue also but with a little lighter pressure. Trager is connective tissue massage. Shiatsu is Japanese acupressure. Tuina is Chinese medical massage. If massage is unaffordable or inconvenient then a hot tub or sauna and steam is advisable.

EXERCISE Everyone knows that we need exercise, but no one knows how much. Balance is the key. If you are a sedentary person, have a sedentary job, or have a lot of mental activity, you need to balance with strenuous exercise. Similarly, if your job is digging ditches or chopping wood, you need small amounts of fun exercise like roller skating. You need to commit yourself to a minimum of 3 hours per week of exercise, 1 hour/3 times a week; 45 minutes/4 times a week; or 1/2 hour/6 days a week. Only you can decide what is best of you. You want to go dancing or skating 3 hours on Saturday night in a smoke free environment. Or you may go hiking or biking for 3 hours on a weekend. That is a start. Some people prefer daily amounts like a 30 minute run/6 days per week. Please remember that in running, it is time, not distance, that is important. There are three types of exercise: 1. Aerobics - skating, skiing, running, swimming, dancing, biking, trampoline and jump rope. 2. Flexibility - stretching, calisthenics, yoga, Tai Chi, and Qi Gong. 3. Strength Training - free weights, nautilus and climbing. There are many sports that are combinations of the above, such as golf, tennis, bowling, and archery. Some sports only exercise one or two major muscle groups. So one must have variety in sports as well as food. For example, running won't exercise abdominals and biking won't exercise hamstrings. The all-around best exercise is dancing, free form. A few classes in fundamentals though, would be very beneficial.
42
Exercise reduces body fat, firms muscles, improves circulation and digestion, releases emotional stress, and increase alertness and energy. We don't believe in strenuous activity unless you have at least 3 months steady build up of stamina. Moderate exercise over the years is more beneficial than spurts of strenuous activity. MEDITATION AND PRAYER Everyone knows that meditation is useful, but not everyone knows how to use it. Meditation in our culture is particularly useful for calming the noise pollution, air pollution, rude and ungracious persons, crowded buses and subways, ungrateful bosses and co-workers, family invasion of privacy, unpaid bills and like. We need to meditate for clarity of thought and purpose, as well as to prioritize our intentions. Any project or commitment should be meditated on daily. Many of us meditate without even realizing that we are meditating when we stare out of a window or into space. We need to cultivate this habit more. 1. QI GONG Walking Meditation - Stand balanced as your arms extend upwards to the right, step out with your right foot. As you bring your arms down, shift all your weight to the right leg. As you extend your arms upward to the left, step out with left foot. Repeat motion, walking in a circular pattern for five minutes, breathing as your arm goes up, and out as arms go down. In the beginning this requires concentration, but if you practice everyday it will get easier
43
and easier, until you get in a space where you are not your body. 2. Chanting Meditation - 30 minutes - Can be done in sitting position. Back and spine must be fully erect. Breath from diaphragm, and your sound must emanate from there. What are we chanting? You must have a mantra. If you investigate you will find there are many hundreds of mantras. Depending on your religious upbringing there may already be a mantra for you. They are usually 3 or 4 measures, i.e., Je-sus-Christ; Al-lah-Hu; Ha-re-Krish-na; Namyo-Ho-ren-Geikyo; Om-Mani-Padme-Hum. These are all mantras. However, there are many that are longer. AMEN-RA SUTEN NTR, ATON RA NEBEN ANKH. HERU PU MAAT KHERU, HERU MAAT HERU Which mantra is for you? 3. QI GONG Standing Meditation - 5 minutes. Feet shoulder width wide apart, knees bent like sitting down, only tension in the body is in the front of thigh and back of calf. Arms held loosely in front of you like holding a barrel, hand relaxed. If you are familiar with horse stance in martial arts this is not a strict version but should be close to it. 4. Sitting Meditation - 30 minutes. If you can't cross your legs yoga style, don't worry about it. Sit on the edge of a chair with knees below hips, or on a cushion so that knees are on floor. Fold hands in lap so that thumbs almost touch. Elevate head so that eyes are looking 30 above horizon. Unfocused eyes, breath slowly and deeply, counting to 7, while exhaling only. Keep spine straight. 5. Lying Meditation - 30 minutes. Lie flat on floor, spread
44
eagle. Breath in one count of five heartbeats. Breath our on count of 10 heartbeats. When praying, have the intention of receiving what you ask for. Explain to the Creator why you need what your are asking for. Be very clear about it. Then visualize yourself receiving it. While you are praying, close your eyes and hold your hands so that the fingertips touch and your thumbs are directly over your heart. Send out rays of light to the Creator and focus on what you are praying for. REST AND SLEEPING PATTERNS Ideally, bedtime is 1-3 hours after sunset. Rising time is 1-2 hours after sunrise. One should see the sun rise and set every day. Best time for meditation is at those times. Best time for exercise is after meditation. Additional rest outside of sleeping is needed for people who have hard physical work. If you shower or bathe before bed you will sleep better. Cleanliness is next to Godliness means that water washes away negative vibrations. Scrubbing your self very hard stimulates acupuncture meridians. Use a shower massager if possible. Night work throws the body out of balance. After 6 months the brain begins to malfunction, because on your days off, you revert back to normal schedule. What does this mean for those of us who work 9-5 and have part-time jobs and extra curricular activities? What about those of us who have families? "I can't go to bed at 9 p.m., I have too many things to do". Think about those who work 7
4
a.m. to 3 p.m. They have to get up before 5 a.m. and be in bed no later than 9:30 p.m. If they can do it, so can you, and you'll be much better off. Ideally, if you work 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. you should sleep 9 p.m. - 5 a.m. If you work 11 a.m. - 7 p.m. you should sleep 11 p.m. - 7 a.m. If you work midnight to 8 a.m. you would sleep noon - 8 p.m. CHANGE OF EATING PATTERNS Breakfast is the most important meal because it fuels your brain. Protein should be eaten at the first meal for the same reason. Eat breakfast like a King, Lunch like a Prince and dinner like a Pauper. Prepare breakfast and lunch the night before. Fruit salad, cooked or dried cereal with rice or almond milk. Toasted 7 Grain bread with almond or cashew butter and dried fruit jam. Take lunch with you. Leftover rice & beans with stir fry veggies are delicious. Dont eat after 6 pm. Eat a larger lunch, late and skip dinner, or eat a fruit or small salad.

It is ideal to fast one day per week, three days per months and seven days when the seasons change. A 3 Day Detox on the new or full moon is ideal. You should fast on the day of the week that you were born. Some people prefer Mondays or Fridays however as they are starting or ending points. Find out what works best for you and then stick to it. When the seasons change you should do a 7 day Fast the week before to clean out your system to prepare it for the new food and new energy of the season.
6) Consume Herb Teas. Preferably Kukicha tea or Green tea 7) Cook with Garlic and Cayenne daily. 8) Drink Aloe Vera with pineapple or papaya as both cleanser and digestive enzymes 9) Consume blue green algae like spirulina for extra nutrition. If you've never fasted before, your PRE-DETOX should be at least one or two days, but it all depends on your metabolism and your intention. Persons with fast metabolisms and quick minds can start right away. Others who are not sure of themselves need more preparation. The preparation period could be as long as five days or as short as one day. You will eat fruits in season only. If you normally eat more than 40% of your diet as meat, including chicken and fish, then you should have two COLONICS or enemas during this preparation period. Just fruits and water (no juice) will prepare you physiologically and mentally for the reduced intake of the Detox. Remember, you are still eating, just restricting the amount.

weak followed by a burst of energy. If you exercise regularlysuch as jogging weight lifting or dancing class- then it is okay to continue. However if this is not what you normally do, wait until after your cleansing to start. Any discomfort you may feel is due to the release of toxins in your blood stream.

to smell toasty. I use a cast iron fry pan for this. Now transfer the GRAIN to your rice pot - A good rice pot is fairly heavy with a tight lid .
COOKING Then cook with twice as much water as you have grain for 30-45 minutes or according to directions. Corning ware, enamel over cast iron, or any heavy non-aluminum pan will do, though I prefer to cook my rice in ceramic pots from Chinatown. You may want to use a double boiler since the grain will cook more slowly and evenly and never scorch, and the final texture will be uniformly smooth. Don't worry about burning the bottom of the rice or other grain. Carbon is good for you. After you have rinsed and toasted your grain. Bring water to a boil and pour in grain. Bring to a second boil, stir once and lower heat to the lowest setting and cover. Don't fiddle with the pot, wait until the approximate time, then uncover and stir to see if bottom is done. Then let sit 5-10 minutes before serving. BROWN RICE - Brown Rice is a centering and nourishing staple food in many parts of the world. They are simple to prepare and delicious and satisfying to eat. Once you have become confident in making rice, the other grains are a snap So start with this recipe for "Perfect Brown Rice", then work your way through the others. First - Wash 2 1/2 cups rice in a colander or strainer under cold running water to remove any surface starch and dust. Then put fresh water on to boil- I use spring water and a teaspoon of salt. Then - TOAST RICE AS ABOVE Now - Add 4 cups boiling water - Do not stir! Bring back to gentle boil for 2 minutes, cover, turn heat low (use a flame tamer if your burner doesn't go low enough) and cook for 1 hour. (For Electric burner start on High then turn down to 3). Then turn heat up for a few seconds, turn off, and allow to sit with the lid ajar for at least 15 minutes before serving. Short grain rice is fine all year round, but some prefer long grain in the warmer months. Choose Short Grain, Medium Grain or Long Grain, but only buy organically grown brown rice, as commercial rice is one of the most highly sprayed crops in this country. BROWN RICE VARIATIONS: WITH SHORT GRAIN, MEDIUM GRAIN OR LONG GRAIN 19. ADD a handful of sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin !0
seeds, Pignoli nuts, pine nuts, cashews, or almonds 20. ADD 4-6 Umeboshi Plums 21. Cook with 2 or 3 strips of dried Kombu or Wakame 22. ADD a handful of washed and soaked Hijiki or Arame 23. Cook with 1/3 cup Wheat berries or Rye berries or 1/2 Cup Barley
YOU CAN USE DIFFERENT KINDS OF BROWN RICESeparately, or in a blend of Wild Rice, Basmati, Wehani, Sweet Rice, or Roasted Rice WHEAT BERRIES - Very chewy. Soak overnight, cook 1 cup for 1-2 hours in 2 cups water. I like to mix 1/2 cup of wheat berries to 1 cup of brown rice. Start cooking wheat berries for 1 hour then add brown rice. BARLEY - Called pearled barley because the indigestible, vitamin rich husk has been taken off. Look for a hull-less barley in Chinatown. Usually used in soups, barley, as a dish by itself is quite good. After toasting cook 1 cup in 2 1/2 cups water for 30-40 minutes. BUCKWHEAT - Buckwheat groats are actually a fruit. They are ground into fine, medium and coarse cut grain called Kasha. In China it is milled into flour and made into noodles called Soba. I like them as buckwheat pancakes. Kasha can be made as a hot breakfast cereal or sauted with onions and mushrooms and mixed with vegetables. RYE BERRIES - Very chewy. Make soups and casseroles. Cook 1 cup of grain to 2 cups of water for 1 1/2-2 hours. For Delicious rice dish cook 1/2 cup rye berries for 1 hour, add 1 cup brown rice cup 30-40 minutes more. MILLET - Main staple of China until they learned the art of cultivating rice. Millet is the main grain of West Africa because it can grow on poorly fertilized and watered soil . It is light and
!%
tasty. Great in winter time casseroles with red lentils. Cook one cup of millet in 2 cups water for 25-30 minutes. It is higher in B complex than other grains and loaded with Lecithin. OATS - Oat groats are hulled and then rolled flat and cut or vice versa depending on the manufacturer in order to shorten the cooking time. Don't buy Instant Oats. They are steamed before cutting, which ruins the flavor. Toasting your oats always improves the flavor. Oats can be made into more dishes than you would ever imagine. Mixed with other grains, sprinkled in soups, stirfried with vegetables, they are great for digestion, bowel problems and heart disease.
AMARANTH - Grain of the Aztecs. Unusually complete vegetable protein. High is calcium, iron and phosphorus. Try for breakfast cereal or dinner grain. Made into flour for baking cookies etc. Similar to Teff. Cook 1 cup of grain in 3 cups water for 25 minutes. QUINOA - Super Grain of the Incas. Complete vegetable protein. For breakfast cereal or dinner. Similar to millet. Cook 1 cup of grain in 2 cups of water for 10-15 minutes. TEFF - Ethiopian grain staple. The name means so small you could lose it. Use like Amaranth. Cook 1 cup of grain in 3 cups water for 25 minutes. BLUE CORN - Strain of wild corn now being cultivated regularly. Worshipped by Pueblo Native Americans of New Mexico and Arizona for centuries. The unique color and taste is great for people who normally have corn allergies. Try the flour for making pancakes, muffins etc. PASTA - Made from durum wheat, macaroni, vegetable

elbows, and spaghetti can be mixed with spinach flour, Jerusalem artichoke flour, tomato flour, Mugwort flour, etc. for a variety of shapes, colors, and sizes. CousCous The traditional dish of North Africa, Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia. Coarsely ground semolina wheat sauted with onions, mushrooms in sesame oil seasoned with a little soy sauce, thyme, basil, and saffron and mixed with vegetables. Add raisins and pine nuts for a traditional Nu-Afrakan treat. BULGAR WHEAT The Grain staple of Middle East and Eastern Europe. They are Pre-cooked wheat berries that are broken into smaller pieces.

BEAN RECIPES
In the fall, as the weather cools, beans are a warming part of our meals, but they should be eaten year round as they provide protein, vitamins and minerals. For some they also provide gas. To make your beans easier to digest, follow these suggestions: CLEANING - Always pick through your dry beans for stones and bits of dirt, then wash them very well in a strainer under running water. SOAKING - Soak 24 hours. By soaking you release the gas from the outer layer of the bean. All beans except lentils, split peas and red lentils will need soaking overnight. If there is not time for this you can do a "quick soak" with all but chick peas and soy beans ... Just bring the cleaned beans to a boil in water to cover them by 3 inches. Turn the heat off, cover, remove from the stove and allow to sit for 1 hour. Then pour off the soaking water, and proceed to cook the beans in fresh water. BEAN SEASONINGS: WHILE COOKING, Use 2-4 pieces of Bay Leaf, Mushrooms, Kombu, Wakame. ADD: Garlic, Cumin, Onions, Dill, Rosemary, Thyme, Parsley AFTER COOKING, Use To Taste, Miso, Or Tamari, Or Nori (Flakes Or Strips)
!4
BASIC BEAN COOKING A general guide is three parts water to one part beans for thick beans, four to one for a juicier dish, and 5 parts (or more) to one for bean soup. Bring the beans to a boil and add a few inches of Kombu or wakame seaweed to the pot to increase digestibility and add flavor. Then, turn the flame down so they simmer for 10 minutes uncovered This will allow some gases to escape. Then skim off any foam, cover the pot, and simmer until the beans are tender. Check them from time to time to see if they need more water but don't stir them. Never add sea salt or tamari 'til the beans are finished or it will toughen them. Save any liquid that remains for soup stock and storing or heating left over beans. If you want thicker beans, mash some and add then back to the pot to act as gravy. For approximate cooking time and tasty tips see below: GREEN LENTILS - You don't have to soak, cook with onions and mushrooms. RED LENTILS - No soaking! Instant beans -- They cook in 10 minutes, longer for soup. Best eaten with wakame, great cooked with onions and summer squash. Good with scallions and white Miso or a splash of tamari. ADUKI - Great for your kidneys, easily digested. Cook with wakame for 1-1 1/2 hours. Season with tamari, or enjoy plain! Cook with chunks of winter squash or Shiitake mushrooms or mix with sauted onions and ginger when cooked.
!
SPLIT PEAS - There are yellow and green split peas. No soaking -- best as soup cooked for 2 hours with wakame, onion, carrot, celery root and dill -- season with tamari or Miso. Caraway or sesame seeds can be added to the pot for a new twist.
NAVY & BLACK EYED PEAS - Soak and simmer with Kombu and Shiitake mushrooms for about 90 minutes or until tender. Cook them with lots of garlic for great soup seasoned with white Miso. Also good to recook by mixing with onions, herbs and bean liquid. Bake at 300 for 1-3 hours. Start them off with a lid, then uncover for a crusty top. LIMA & GREAT NORTHERN - Soak and cook with wakame for 1 - 1 1/2 hours -Great plain, with a dash of sea salt or tamari, drizzled with white Miso, or as soup with lots of chopped fresh dill or Bake as above BLACK BEANS - Soak, with Kombu for at least 2 hours (longer if for soup). When they're done, Recook them by removing half and blenderizing with sauted onions garlic, comido (cumin seed), and thyme added to the pot. Seasoned with Miso, it is quite delicious! KIDNEY or PINTO BEANS - Soak and cook with your choice of seaweed for about 1 1/2 hours. Cook them as for black beans or aduki. Pour over Blue corn tortillas CHICK PEAS - Must be soaked overnight and cooked with Kombu for about 2 hours. Taste great with a sprinkle of tamari or recooked with sauted onions and cumin seeds.
!!
Good also as humus -- Just blend with garlic, tahini and Miso diluted with bean liquid. Tasty as a sauce just blended with Miso, liquid and cooked onions -- Delectable over veggies! SOYBEANS - Hard to digest on their own, soybeans are made into tofu, tempeh, soy milk or tamari. Black Soy beans are balancing to the sexual organs -- soak and cook with Kombu and plenty of water for about 3 hours or more. Add Miso and chopped SCALLIONS for a healing soup.

and vitamins A, B-1, and B-2. Rinse Hijiki extra well, soak 20 minutes. Drain, soak again for 1 minute. Rinse well, then cover with fresh water, and lift Hijiki up out of water with your hands and place into another bowl. (This way any grit, sand or stones will be discarded). Cook the same as Arame. D U L S E - Dull red color, third lightest in flavor. Highest concentration of iron in any food source with protein, calcium, phosphorus, iodine, potassium magnesium, and vitamins A, C, B-6, B12, and E. The best brand of Dulse is from Maine Coast sea vegetables. Soak 5 minutes in water to cover, drain, add to salads, soups, or try it this way: Stir Fry in 1 Tblsp. of sesame oil with spinach, kale or other veggies. NORI - My favorite, looks like green paper. Very high in protein, calcium. iron, potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, and iodine. Very high in vitamins A, B1, B2, C, D, and niacin. It lowers cholesterol and aids digestion. If toasted (bright green) use as is. If untoasted (dark brown) hold over gas flame 1 minute until it turns green. Only toast one side. Cut or tear into strips for use as a sprinkle over vegetables, salad or soup. Use to cover brown rice balls or make Nori rolls. My Nori roll recipe 2 cups cooked brown rice, 1/2 cup minced onions and garlic. Add 1 Tblsp. cold pressed Olive oil or sesame oil. the juice of one squeezed lemon and 1 T of organic honey, one shot of rice wine (Sake),add tamari and cayenne to taste. Mix all ingredients in a bowl and then spoon over a sheet of Nori. wrap carrot sticks, celery sticks, cucumber sticks, tofu, tempeh, radish sprouts, burdock root, avocado or use your

imagination. Wrap tightly like a big cigar. Let sit five minutes rinse your sharpest knife and cut into slices. Garnish with pickled ginger, wasabi (horseradish) and tamari.

WAKAME -A little heavier in flavor than the other three. Has medium green color. Thin dried strips. I like it unseasoned, but you should experiment. High in protein, iron, calcium, magnesium, large amount of vitamin C and B-12, as well as A, B-1, B-2, and niacin. Milder and easier to digest than Kombu. Great for soups and bean dishes. Soak 20 minutes (or more).
KOMBU - Heaviest flavor. Looks like dried broadleaf kelp. High in protein, iron, calcium, phosphorus, vitamins A, B-2, and C. Kombu is good for high blood pressure, weight control, cleanses colon, aids kidneys and for anemia. Soak for one hour (or more) chop and add to salad or cooked with vegetables, or add unsoaked to cook in soup for wonderful rich stock. Use 1 dry 6"-8" stick in cooking any beans, and put a 3" piece in the bottom of rice pot before adding rice for a tasty change. AGAR-AGAR - 100 per cent fiber! Vitamins A, B-1, B-6, B12, Biotin, C. D, K, and silicon. Aids intestinal action, bonds with radioactive and toxic waste to carry them out of the body. Agar-agar is used to make aspics (vegetable jell) or gels (fruited jello). Agar-agar flakes or powder can be used to make jello, but I prefer bars. Agar-agar may also be sprinkled by the teaspoon into hot soups or teas for an instant fiber boost, much more gentle than bran. The following is my favorite recipe, but there will probably be a recipe on the package also. 1 bar Agar-agar, 3-4 cups Apple Juice (Cranberry 1 cup

also used as a meat substitute. It is milder, has a very light flavor and will easily adapt to any dish you cook it in (except beans or meats). Cubed and deep fried in sesame oil was an early addiction of mine. You can buy tofu in any Korean grocery or health food store and even some enlightened upscale grocery chains carry it. If you buy it open in a tub of water then it will keep approximately one week but you must change the water every day. If you buy it sealed then it will keep until the expiration date on the package but once you open it you must change the water every day. Tofu comes in three styles- soft, medium and firm. Use firm style for cooking w/ veggies and stir frying . Use soft style for soups and scrambled tofu.

SOUPS
Prepare soup stock from vegetable leavings. When making salad or cut up veggies, save the parts that you would normally cut off and throw away.

Food Therapy CHINESE DIETETICS WE are vegetarians, however we don't require our patients to become vegetarians. There are some physically demanding jobs that one might need to eat meat such as working outdoors or in a refrigerated space. However, if you are sitting at a desk 7 hours a day, eating meat will only clog your brain and make you less efficient. We have a general set of guidelines, which you will receive at the time of your Detox program. It will be tailor made for your lifestyle and working habits. You will follow these recommendations for 90 days. WE strongly recommend you take the class "Almost Vegetarian" offered on Wednesday evenings. Telling you what to eat is not the same as showing you how to prepare and season it. Culinary spices all have medicinal properties and you will learn how to use them. There are certain foods that have an affinity for each of your major organs or have a detrimental effect. You will learn about these foods as well. Chinese Dietetics is based upon the same diagnosis as herbal medicine. If you have a chronic imbalance or degenerative disease we will gradually ask you to change your diet. We may give you lists of foods to avoid and to include on a weekly basis. We realize that it is much easier to take pills 3x/day than to change your diet. Very often you desire the foods that are undermining your health. We can work with you and your family in explaining the process of toxicity from familiar, convenience foods.

on a diagnosis of the internal conditions of the body. There are several Chinese Medical theories, which can be used to describe the physical and emotional system of the human body. Depending on the face, tongue and pulse diagnosis, health history, and questioning, the doctor can determine which theory applies. The diagnosis is the treatment. Traditional Chinese Medicine is based upon a differential diagnosis call the eight parameters. Internal or External determines whether the illness is self-created or an infection that is viral, bacterial, fungal or parasitic. Yin or Yang determines the body type and the type of disease. Hot or Cold refers to the symptoms. Excess or Deficient refers how the patient is relating to the disharmony. Once we determine the energetic imbalance we can define our treatment principle. For example, Deficient Spleen Yang means the digestive fire of the Spleen is not working up to par. The treatment principle is to tonify the Spleen. Determining which formula to use is not an easy choice. There are a number of formulas that will tonify the spleen. The art and skill of the practitioner will make the determination of which grouping of symptoms are in what priority. The doctor then decides which formula most closely matches the other signs and symptoms. The initial formula is taken for two or three weeks and adjusted accordingly. You may end up taking a particular formula for 3-6 months, or even multiple formulas. There are 272 commonly used formulas, which can be modified by addition or subtraction to make a more specific formula for a particular person. Traditionally formulas are made of dried herbs and decocted into a soup (Tang) in a ceramic pot and then mashed and strained. This is very time consuming and not convenient for most Americans. We recommend granules (San) made into a tea or encapsulated. They can be pressed into tablets (Wan) or extracted in a tincture. The preference of the patient and the recommendation of the practitioner determines what form of the herbs are best. Herbs should be taken three times per day. Ziploc pouches are provided with gram spoons if you have access to hot water in the middle of the day. Tablets are convenient to carry. In between meals means 30 minutes before or one hour after meals with hot water or tea. However please use common sense. If you have just eaten a meal and will be traveling for several hours take your herbs right away. They can't work if %%$
you don't take them. In acute conditions take twice the recommended dosage for 3 days. In chronic cases if you don't see results in 7 days then increase the dosage. There is a lot of information to process and we can only cover so much ground in one session. So that you will absorb more, each session we will add a little more information at your own pace. It might even be helpful to bring a tape recorder.
Rejuvenation Institute under the tutelage of Prof. Li Bing Yuan former head of the Beijing Acupuncture College. He is a Primary Care provider in the state of Florida as a licensed Acupuncture Physician since 1986. Dr. Love is the former Dean of Acupuncture at Barna College of Health Science and professor at Community School of Traditional Chinese Health Care. His chosen role is to teach the teachers and heal the healers. In the West there is an emphasis on matching the appropriate drug or herbal medicine to alleviate the reported symptoms. Medicine is impersonalized, as physicians rarely produce the medicines they prescribe. Science relies on the purity or potency of pharmaceutical constituents, not on the content of the physicians spiritual purity. The superior physician teaches his patients how to prevent disease. The inferior physician treats his patients after they get sick. Ancient Chinese Proverb

Love Heals
Love is patient, Love is Kind. Love does not envy, Love is not proud. Love is not rude. Love is not self-seeking, it does not boast Love keeps no record of wrongs. Love rejoices with the truth. Love always protects, Love always trusts, Love always hopes, Love always perseveres. Love never fails. If I speak with the voice of clarity and authority but have not love, I am only a song on the radio that is soon forgotten. If I have the gift of knowledge and can solve all mysteries but have not love, I have no longevity. And if I have a faith that can move mountains but have not love, I have no strength. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to medicine, but have not love, I gain nothing. On the Spiritual Path these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is Love.
