Why Raw Food?
To live a long, natural, happy and balanced life is your birthright. It is not rocket science or
something you can get from a practitioner, doctor, expert or prescription. Somewhere along the
way we have been misled, conditioned, and distracted from what is essential; we have lost touch
with our innate knowing, naturalness and bliss. In nature, animals eat only raw food and don’t
consult experts on how to live healthy, active lives, they also don’t suffer the widespread sicknesses and ailments humans do.
My experience is that people who eat a high percentage of living, organic foods are free of most
illnesses, have greater mental clarity and higher energy levels. Our bodies were not designed to
be a dumping ground for dead, cooked and processed foods and as such there is a price to pay for
ignoring nature’s laws.
From a scientific viewpoint all cooked food is devoid of enzymes which are vital for the absorption and digestion of food. Enzymes are the ‘life force’ or energy contained in living food and
are essential for all the chemical processes within the body. Once heated above 45°C enzymes
begin to be destroyed and once food is heated beyond 50°C they are totally destroyed. Eating
enzyme-dead foods places a burden and eventually exhausts your pancreas and other organs.
Many people gradually impair their pancreas and progressively lose the ability to digest their
food after a lifetime of ingesting processed foods.
In 1930, under the direction of Dr. Paul Kouchakoff, research was conducted at the Institute of
Clinical Chemistry in Lausanne, Switzerland. The effect of food cooked and processed versus
raw and natural - on the immune system was tested and documented. Dr. Kouchakoff's discovery
concerned leukocytes, the white blood cells. It was found that after a person eats cooked food,
his/her blood responds immediately by increasing the number of white blood cells. This is a well
-known phenomenon called 'digestive leukocytosis', in which there is a rise in the number of leukocytes - white blood cells - after eating. Since digestive leukocytosis was always observed after
a meal, it was considered to be a normal physiological response to eating. No one knew why the
number of white cells would rise after eating, this appeared to be a stress response, as if the body
was somehow reacting to something harmful such as infection, exposure to toxic chemicals or
trauma.
Dr. Kouchakoff and his researchers made a remarkable discovery. They found that eating raw,
unaltered food did not cause a reaction in the blood. In addition, they found that if a food had
been heated beyond a certain temperature (unique to each food), or if the food was processed
(refined, chemicals added, etc.), this caused a rise in the number of white cells in the blood. The
researchers renamed this reaction 'pathological leukocytosis'. They tested many different types of
foods and found that if the foods were not refined or overheated, they caused no reaction. The
body saw them as 'friendly foods'. However, these same foods if heated too much, caused a
negative reaction in the blood, a reaction found only when the body is invaded by a dangerous
pathogen or trauma.

Living Food Recipes For The Art Of Organic Raw Gourmet
Food Preparation Class
A great visual example of what heating does to food can be seen in Kirlian photography. Kirlian
photography captures the bio-electrical energy field surrounding living organisms.
The following Kirlian photographs are of organically grown living lentil sprouts. The diagram
on the left shows a living organically grown lentil sprout. The diagram on the right shows an
organically grown lentil sprout, blanched at 60°C for 2-3 minutes. Which food has more energy?
Which food has more living nutritional benefits?
Which food would you prefer?
Living
or
Dead?
So should you eat more raw foods? Only if you want to live a longer, happier, more
radiant, disease free life!
If you have been eating a high percentage of cooked, processed food throughout your life or
have poor digestion you may initially have some challenges switching to a living food diet. Even
just increasing the percentage of raw foods in your diet can cause your body to go into what is
known as a cleansing reaction. Your body is an innately intelligent, self-healing mechanism and
when introduced to more living foods, it may begin to eliminate toxins which have been stored
in the tissues and organs for years. Headaches, nausea, rashes or even flu like symptoms are not
uncommon signs that you are experiencing a cleansing reaction. These reactions usually last for
3 or 4 days (or longer if you are particularly toxic). Drinking 2 to 3 litres of pure living water a
day can help with the elimination of toxins and make the ride a little smoother. Once through
this phase most people feel much healthier and have more energy than before. If you have issues
with digestion try green juices with a high percentage of celery. Celery is high in sodium and
conditions the intestinal tract. You can add lettuce, cucumber, parsley, kale and a little apple or
carrot for taste (under 10%).
To me a living food lifestyle is about self-empowerment. It’s about taking my health and wellbeing back into my own hands and returning to an easier more natural state of equilibrium. If
this resonates with you the good news is there are now so many amazing delicious living food
recipes available you will be able to eat better than ever before without the slightest sense of
deprivation – it’s just a matter of changing some habits and saying yes to life.
Enjoy the recipes and a radiantly healthy, happy life!

The Amazing Power Of Green Juice – calming, energising, alkalising and healing
Raw organic Green Juice is the best foundation for a raw food lifestyle. There is almost nothing on the planet that is
better for your body. Use celery as the base and experiment with the other ingredients to taste.
Tools: a Sampson (or similar) juicer. These are now quite reasonably priced, are easy to clean and most importantly work
on a powerful, slow rotation so the juice doesn’t become over heated (Many cheaper juicers spin too fast and reduce the
nutritional value of the juice by over heating)
Celery (make this the foundation of your juice) it is very high in sodium and conditions your
whole digestive tract, improving digestion. It is a much better option than carrot which
is high in sugar (even organic carrots these days have 17% sugar – wild carrots if you
can find them have only 3% sugar!)
Leafy Greens (Just as important as celery, though less palatable to begin with – leafy greens
are packed with chlorophyll and oxygen and are unparalleled in their ability to alkalise
and heal the body. Try Rocket, Kale, Cos Lettuce, (preferable over Iceberg Lettuce
which has fewer minerals) or any other dark green leafy vegetables.
Cucumber - Also a highly alkalizing vegetable and very refreshing.
Parsley - A cup of minced fresh parsley (about 100g) contains more beta carotene than a large
carrot, almost twice as much vitamin C as an orange, more calcium than a cup of milk,
and twenty times as much iron as a serving of liver.
Wheatgrass – What to say about wheatgrass? There are reams of information available on the healing, regenerative properties of wheatgrass. 20 ml of wheatgrass juice is the nutritional equivalent of over one kg of fresh fruit and vegetables. Wheat grass has only about 10-15 calories per teaspoon. It has nearly a gram of protein per teaspoon and includes all eight of the essential amino acids, as well as 13 of the remaining 16.
Tip: Try watering your wheatgrass using 1 part sea water to 19 parts water to get the correct balance of all 92 minerals needed for perfect health. Grass is the only plant which can absorb all 92 minerals, however, you can still add
diluted sea water when watering all your vegetables and sprouts for a highly mineralized diet.
Apple or carrot- Some people find green juice a little hard to take at the beginning. To make your green juice sweeter you
can add a very small quantity of carrot or apple to your juice (less than 10%). After a while when you grow accustomed to taste you can reduce or totally cut out the carrot and apple.
Water – We recommend you water down your juice 4 or 5 parts filtered water to 1 part juice. This is especially important
when using wheatgrass Green juice is a very powerful detoxifier and it is best to ease into it gently if you haven’t
been living a clean, raw food lifestyle. As you progress you can gradually decrease to amount of water to a 50/50
mix.
Probiotics - 1 teaspoon of In-Liven probiotic superfood. This is the only certified probiotic powder on the market. In-Liven
is the result of over 20 years research & development. The bacteria are produced from fruits and vegetables and not
fast-tracked from faecal matter. Contains significant enzymes, vital amino acids and a broad spectrum of essential
nutrients. In-Liven will re-colonise the gastrointestinal tract with the full spectrum of Lactobacillus (friendly) bacteria.
Detoxification - When you begin drinking green juice the pollutants which have been stored in your body will literally begin to be flushed out of your cells sometimes causing nausea, head aches or even flu like symptoms. Be happy if
this happens as it means you are on track to a healthier, more balanced existence. It can also be very helpful to be
in contact with someone who has already gone through the process themselves.
Quantity – Begin with 250ml of green juice a day (watering it down 4 to 1 with water) This will give you around 5 glasses
to down. As you progress, increase the amount of juice and decrease the water. You can eventually increase to
drinking 500 to 750mls of green juice no problems and your body will sing in total gratitude!
You will get optimum nutritional value if you drink your juice within 15 minutes of making it, however, you
will still get amazing benefits if you refrigerate it and drink it throughout the day. You can even add a little
5 lemon juice or vitamin C powder to help preserve it for up to 24 hours.

Smooth vanilla coconut ice cream
(Serves 4)
Tools: Blender; Champion juicer or food processor
Ingredients:
Meat of 2 to 4 young coconuts, depending on yield
1 vanilla bean
4 frozen bananas (whole if using a Champion juicer, finely chopped if using a food processor)
Directions:
Put the coconut meat in a blender. Scrape the seeds out of the vanilla bean, and add to the
blender. Blend until smooth.
Combine the bananas and meat and process through a Champion juicer using the blank plate
The easiest way to do this is to add one banana and a little coconut meat at a time. You may
need to mix the ice cream a little afterward to distribute the coconut evenly.
If you don't have a Champion, process the finely chopped frozen banana in a food processor.
When the "ice cream" is white and fluffy, add the meat, and process for a little while longer. If
you're not eating it immediately (a tough task!), put it into individual bowls and return to the
freezer.
Variation 1: Add chopped fruit or nuts.`
Variation 2: Make a fruit or carob sauce, and pour it over the top.
