Explanation of Foods to Avoid
Beef & Cow’s Dairy Products:
Non organic beef and cow’s dairy contain hormones and steroids to increase size and speed of growth of cattle. These injected hormones cause imbalanced hormonal levels with human ingestion of the beef and cow’s dairy. Steroids are known to lower immunity. Antibiotics are injected into cows to attempt in the prevention of disease in these animals. Antibiotics are designed to kill bacteria — but what about viruses that circulate in the cows? These enter your body too. When you ingest these food products, you are also ingesting the antibiotics that increase the Candida albicans yeast levels in your body. Chemicals and coloring agents are are added to the meat to to enhance its appealing color for a “fresh look” and to increase its shelf life. Cow’s dairy products are known to contain the enzyme xanthine oxidase which has been scientifically studied and found to cause the initiation of vascular sticky plaque buildup and artherosclerosis. Cow’s dairy is high in phosphorus which may cause leaching of calcium out of bones.
Caffeine Products (Coffee, Cocoa, Chocolate, Cola):
May cause hypoglycemia by its continual quick raising and then quick dropping of blood sugar within approximately 20 minutes after caffeine consumption. May leach calcium from bones which may lead to Osteoporosis. May contribute to free flowing calcium in the blood stream that finds its way into joints causing arthritic effects as well as floaters or flashers in the eyes (other circulating toxins may also be the cause of floaters/flashers).
MSG:
May cause food sensitivities, headaches, the development of disease and serious neurological disorders.
Peanuts/Peanut Butter:
May contain afflatoxin mold, a common carcinogen. May also cause jaundice, cirrhosis. May be hidden in ingredients of some packaged foods.
Refined Oils:
Are heated producing trans fatty acids. Trans fatty acids consumption is not recommended since they cause damage to the body at the cellular level. Refined oils lose their natural taste and vital nutrition.
Refined White & Brown Sugar, Artificial Sweeteners and Refined, White Flour Products:
Increases predisposition to dental cavaties and produces a sticky plaque not only on the teeth but on the intestinal wall which inhibits proper assimilation and absorption of nutrients. Note: Brown sugar is white sugar with molasses added. These products may cause diabetes with their continued over consumption. The bleaching agents in these products may leach calcium from the bones, causing Osteoporosis and are toxic to the liver. Artificial sweeteners are known carcinogens.
Soda & Other Carbonated Beverages:
Leaches beneficial oxygen out of the body. Oxygen is needed to sustain life within the cells and tissues of the body and of course for the body itself. Contributes to upset digestion, abdominal gas, bloating and flatulence.
White Rice:
Is missing the hull that contains the beneficial nutrients.Bleaching agents used are toxic to the liver and may draw calcium out of the bones.
Yeast & Sourdough Products:
Aggravate the body’s normal intestinal flora and contribute to the related Candida albicans fungal overgrowth.Candida albicans is known to cause severe hormonal imbalances in the body that not only may cause the common symptoms of headaches, migraines, itchy skin, skin eruptions, etc., but also may contribute greatly in the increased rate of the aging process. Avoid all yeast products (bread, crackers, pretzels, pastry goods, etc.). Even when these products are cooked, the yeast they contain stimulates the Candida albicans growth which in turn contributes to its increased levels in the body.
