Beyond Raw Food

Did you know you are probably being robbed of sleep without even knowing it? Over the years I have seen a rapidly growing increase in sleep problems with my clients and others. In fact most people in developed countries have sleep issues and are not even aware of them. Often seemingly unrelated health issues stem from a lack of deep, restful sleep. What is striking to me is how clueless almost everyone is to the mostly self-inflicted causes of their problems. Certainly there are also a growing number of external influences that negatively affect sleep, and people are for the most part not aware of them or how to resolve them. I’ve had friends with severe sleep issues that have resorted to tragic, unnecessary, and sometimes expensive therapies that ultimately don’t work or have damaging side effects, such as drugs, surgery, expensive sleep studies, expensive equipment, etc. It’s tragic and avoidable in most cases. But most people suffer the effects of poor sleep while thinking they’re sleeping just fine, because their brain wave states are not slowing down into the deeper and necessary levels of sleep. Here is a talk I did about the subject, with natural solutions. I hope you find it useful.

I have been testing organic food for months now and have confirmed what I have believed for a few years now: organic food has very little nutrition in it. I don’t mean processed organic food, I mean, whole, unprocessed organic produce from health food stores — you know, fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds, etc. (Yes, chemically grown food is much worse.) Unfortunately these days, even organic farm soils are heavily depleted (see Senate Document 264), organic farmers generally do not know how to build healthy nutrient-dense mineral-rich soils, and produce is picked unripe and shipped long distances. You don’t have to take my word for it, you can test the nutrient levels of your own produce with an inexpensive device that you can keep and use right in your own kitchen. It’s called a refractometer, aka Brix Meter. Some growers and regulating agencies use them to measure plant nutrient levels in the field. Sadly, marijuana growers are more likely to use them than farmers. You can buy them online at places like Pike Agri Labs or eBay. (Make sure you get one that measures from 0 to at least 32 Brix.)

So what do we do? Slowly starve, develop degenerative diseases, then age and die prematurely? I don’t think so! For many people, this will mean that increasingly, food-based true superfood supplements (not stimulants being marketed as “superfoods”) must become a part of their grocery bills. But the real solution is, like our ancestors of only 100 years ago, most of us will need to grow our own food again. “Yeah right,” you say! “I work 80 hours a week, I don’t have time to grow a garden!” or “I live in an apartment with no yard!” Growing much of your own food is still a possibility! Read on!

A Solution
One of the things I love about this reality is that as some of us come up with new ways to destroy ourselves, there are always others figuring out how to solve the problems. Thomas Giannou of T and J Enterprises in Spokane, Washington is one of the latter. A man of very high integrity, Thomas has developed nutrients and systems to grow high-ORMUS, nutrient-dense, high Brix food in gardens or containers! Say what? ORMUS elements are ceramic powders composed of discrete unconnected atoms of certain elements (the platinum group metals, gold, silver, and a few others in the periodic chart). They are so small, they act like lenses or antennae for very high frequency scalar healing energies, what some would call chi, or prana, or Reiki energy, tachyon energy, etc. ORMUS elements are superconductors, that is, they conduct electricity with no resistance. In the body, this makes them highly regenerative, and they are where the mind-body connection actually occurs, at the subatomic level. ORMUS is nature’s nanotechnology that has amazing quantum physical/energetic properties that are behind all healing and regeneration. Plants, animals, natural pure living spring water, fermented foods, and even air have ORMUS elements in them. But thanks to our pollution and irradiation of the planet; demineralization of soils through chemical farming; acidic, toxic, nutrient-deficient processed cooked food diets; and morally and emotionally bankrupt lifestyles; we have essentially become weak, nutritionally deficient, ORMUS deficient, irradiated mutants! (Just go into any conventional commercial grocery store and see how few people there even look healthy, much less actually are.)

90-Minute Interview With Thomas Giannou
So it was my great fortune to have a four-hour conversation with Thomas on the phone about exactly how to grow nutrient-dense food. He shared generously. The call was riveting, and I quickly realized his knowledge needs to be shared as widely as possible. So I later recorded a 90-minute interview with him, which is below. Thomas makes and sells products for growing “high Brix food” as he calls it, but he does not need to, he’s “retired” with a good pension! Enjoy!

Here’s a great video of Hippocrates Health Institute co-founder, Viktoras Kulvinskas, recalling the history of Hippocrates Institute, and giving bits of advice along the way. I had a week of enzyme nutrition with Viktor at Hippocrates Institute’s educator program. He is an absolute genius, awed the entire class.

Part 5 of a ten-part series filmed at the Hippocrates Health Institute in West Palm Beach, Florida in January 2008. The first three parts are of Brian Clement, Hippocrates director, sharing his thoughts on natural living while we waited for Gabriel to arrive. Parts four to ten are of Gabriel Cousens, MD, director of the Tree of Life Rejuvenation Center in Patagonia, Arizona talking about how diabetes is a disease of lifestyle, not a product of genetics. Dr. Cousens’ clinical research conclusively demonstrates that diabetes can be reversed and healed by assuming a raw and living vegetarian lifestyle with detoxification.

My favorite section of Brian Clements’ introduction for Gabriel Cousens is part 3. Brian hits on some very important and enlightened points. He can tell you better that I can so just watch the movie below, but I will elaborate a little from my own feelings. He states that “Everyone has an opinion about everything, but nobody will tell you how they really feel because they might be held responsible.” What a profound expression of truth. It really drives to the core of the lack of authenticity and responsibility in relation to others, ourselves, and the world around us. He talks about how we need to pay more attention to what really matters. I agree with him in stating what really matters is our own feelings.
They shape who we are, what we do, how we communicate, and most importantly how we perceive ourselves. If we do not perceive ourselves in a good light, how can we expect others to do the same. We are all striving one way or another to get to a place where we can be who we truly are. Brian says “That if you are not at that place where you can be who you truly are then at best all your communication is an embellishment, and mostly BS.” I agree with him again. If I had heard that statement a few years ago I would not have believed, let alone understood it. I feel blessed to be able to understand it now, and know that I still have much to unlearn form my past and a long way to go to before I can be who I truly am.

Brian Clement tells a story of when he met a Buddhist monk at Hippocrates Health Institute. In the story he talks about how the monk’s presence is overwhelming for the room. About how he has to stop his lecture so that the class can be introduced to the monk since all the students were starring at him anyway. I think the most interesting part of the lecture is when Brian talks about how the monk spoke broken English at best, and all the students were straining to try and intellectualize what he was saying. It was at this point that Brian stopped the monk for a moment and told the class to stop trying to process what the monk was saying, but to just feel what he was saying. I find this to be very true in my life. When I spend too much time thinking about something I can get into a state I call paralysis by analysis. When I realize it and can step out into the feeling of the situation, things flow so much better.
