LEMONFAST

What if man does reach out and take the fruit from the tree of life, will he live forever? If you take Genesis 3:22-24 literally it seems to mean just that, and to expound the significance of a possible double meaning of most interpretations. We have all been told it is a fable, meaning to reach out to God by picking that fruit of knowledge to find the ways of the Lord and we as Christians believe in this Holy Scripture. But could it mean more? That is the question and a part of what this story is all about.

We, believe that fruit from the tree of life may be the lemon. And that trees play a vital roll in human life. As you read this you may want to come and learn with us the blending of the old and the new, and the sharing of the ancient wonders of the tree of life, and of the lemon and lime. We will see how modern medical doctors and ancient medicine together can help us to be healthier and live longer, and how we can best benefit by taking the best from both worlds. We will predict the limitless future of science and technology and how it is, effecting us now and for the years beyond. In fact, many predictions of the future are often nothing more than the narrow viewpoint of the predictor. Predictions are very hard to make with any real accuracy in regards to not only the future, but, how the future will effect us and our way of life and life itself. Since before the agrarian society we as human beings knew very well about pain and suffering that was associated with horrible diseases and many of those diseases are still with us even after the profound transformation of the unleashing of the industrial revolution and still today in the 21^st century we fear and suffer from Cancer, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and other incurable known and unknown diseases. Not so very long ago people on earth lived to be only about thirty and even now our life expectancy is a mere 75 for males and 78 for females. The Bible says that at one time men lived for centuries and that they were vegetarians. Adam fathered a child at the age of 130 and lived a full life and died at the age of 930 years. Noah finished the building of the Ark at the age of 600 years. Much evidence suggests that Noah and his family practiced a vegetarian way of life. He walked with God. He and his family did not partake in the evil ways of the Nephelian Race mentioned in Genesis 6:3-4. This race was formed from the intercession of the fallen angels. Genesis 6:2 states that "The sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. This most likely was the period when the eating of animal flesh became a regular practice. After the flood waters receded and the Ark came to its resting point on Mount Ararat, Noah and his family had no choice but to eat the flesh of animals. Interestingly enough, the life span of human beings went from centuries to 120 years. Meat as a staple food came along some time later. With the advent of refrigeration the amount of meat consumed in industrialized societies increased dramatically as did many previously unknown diseases. By the end of the 20^th century a period of intense scientific discoveries like unlocking the secrets of the atom and how to spit it creating the atom bomb, unraveling the molecules of life and building the computer. And remarkable advancements in medicine helped cure deadly and crippling diseases. The dynamic era of science marches on and as such we are on the brink of still another great revolution the hydrogen revolution, which will be, our next main source of energy. Everything from cars, trucks, buses, ships, airplanes, power generating plants and all industrial energy will come from efficient and water and steam producing hydrogen. Dirty fossil fuels will be a thing of the past. This revolution will change the entire economic structure of the world, as we now know it. As human knowledge doubles every ten years, computer power is doubling every eighteen months and the Internet is doubling every year. Perhaps the most important to human health and longevity is the doubling of DNA analyzing, and sequencing every two years. We have now mapped the human genome consisting of about 100,000 human genes that are hidden among 23 pairs of chromosomes in our cells. This was all accomplished years before researchers predicted they would and it was no doubt one of the most ambitious projects in medical history. Francis Collins who headed up that project for the U.S. National Center for Human Genome Research said, “ There is only one Human Genome Project. It will only happen once in human history, and this is that point in time. Without sounding corny, I do believe this is the most important scientific project mankind has ever mounted, this investigation into ourselves." The techniques of molecular biology will allow us to read the genetic code of life as we would read a book. Already, the complete DNA code of several living organisms, such as viruses, single-cell bacteria, and yeast, has been completely decoded, molecule-by-molecule. Embryonic and adult stem cells will heal most of man kind’s illnesses. (go to: www.abcdestemtechhealth.com Already new advancements in DNA research are making possible a new type of computer, molecular computers, which perform calculations on the atoms themselves, which computes with organic molecules, as a tiny living chip, much smaller than anything today with much more information capability. In fact the size of microchips will be on the scale of a molecule and will end the so-called Age of Silicon. Remarkably, DNA computers have already been built which can solve problems in mathematics faster than supercomputers. Even some visionaries predict a optical computer which will compute on dancing beams of laser light. Already we have computers capable of 3 trillion calculations per second (3 terraFLOP per second, with 2.5 trillion bytes of memory). Its believed that the US government’s computer secretly known as big Bertha may have been beefed up to calculate even more. In comparison it is understood that the human brain our in-house computer, that we all have, routinely calculates at 10 terraFLOP speeds per second or faster, which science believes will be surpassed any day now by supercomputers that the government may already process.

Robots will develop common sense and be able to converse with humans and will recognize and manipulate things in their environment as we do, only they'll be able to always learn from their mistakes. This will give them the ability to make independent decisions and perform other complicated duties such as shopping, housekeeping, cooking, provide secretarial services, and assist humans in many other untold ways.

Many advancements are expected in biotechnology, telecommunications and space travel. Without exception, every one of the technologies singled out to lead the twenty-first century are deeply rooted in the quantum, computer, and DNA revolutions. Quantum theory revolution discovered in 1925 in the twentieth-century by Werner Heisenbery, Erwin Schrodinger and others were able to reduce matter to some few postulates. So with this new knowledge they were able to mathematically predict properties of substances before they were created. These calculations is now the standard that predicts the properties of everything from microscopic subatomic quarks to the colossal supernovas in the known universe. That then makes it possible for the other two great scientific revolutions, the computer and the biomolecular revolutions.

Although the laws of computers are well known, only some of the basic laws of artificial intelligence and the human brain are known. At present, computers are our only way to determine if the buildup of carbon dioxide will starve us of oxygen in the atmosphere and will cause us to be bomb barded by the suns radiation. Which can endanger and change human life as we know it. At the very least the computers should tell us if our weather is being disrupted by the greenhouse effect, and if it is as many suspect it is, the economy of the entire planet will be adversely affected.

The quantum theory, too, will have a powerful influence in the next century in the area of badly needed energy production. And will create machines the size of molecules, these machines will become known as nanotechnology micromachines. Nanotechnology promises the very smallest of molecular machines because of the enormous advances in manipulating those atomic-size micromachines, they will be able to scavenge molecules from within our system by patrolling in our bloodstream and removing plaque from our arteries, and will be able to destroy infectious microbes of all kinds. They will be able to kill tumor cells, repair damaged cells and reverse the aging process altogether. They will be able to resolve engineering problems by cleaning up the environment by devouring hazardous wastes, eliminating world hunger by growing wondrously inexpensive but plentiful nutritious well balanced foods. Nanotechnology will enable us to build supercomputers the size of atoms, and build other types of machines, from booster rockets to microchips. These tiny machines will be able to multiply into trillions of molecular robots which will converge on site and destroy viruses and bacteria at will and will be able to solve other biological problems and reshape life as we know it. With the advent of new ways to power rockets through ionic engines we will see the beginnings of rockets that will reach nearby stars, and we will start developing colonies in deep space, and interplanetary travel will become commonplace.

All of this will have profound effects on biology and medicine. Most if not all genetic diseases like cancer will be eliminated. Chemotherapy, invasive surgery, and painful testing will all be things of the past. In fact life itself may well become perpetual by conquering death altogether.

What is helping to drive this quantum leap in biomolecular research is our remarkable ability to decode the secrets of life, using computers and robots to automate the sequencing of DNA. That means someday all organisms will have their complete DNA code unraveled. By then we will be reading the Encyclopedia of all life. It well soon be possible for anyone on earth to have their personal DNA code stored on a CD. Imagine going to your doctor for a routine checkup, he draws some blood without punching the skin, then places it into a computer, which instantly gives a personalized DNA read out including any of the then known genetic diseases. They well even be able to predict the mathematical chances of your getting a disease. Then preventive measures will be taken years before any symptoms appear. Gene and cloning therapy will then cure what ever ails you. Medicine is basically going to change from a treatment-based to a prevention-based discipline.

This shift to polygenic diseases will be the key for overcoming chronic diseases such as heart disease, strokes, diabetes, arthritis, Alzheimer's, aids and other autoimmune diseases, as well as mental diseases like schizophrenia.

But the bottom line is we know that Ian Wilmut of the Roslin Institute at Edinburgh, Scotland has already cloned Dolly the sheep. Monkeys, mice, pigs, cats and many other animals have also been cloned. That animal cloning will lead to human cloning, if it hasn't already and that alone will give control over the aging process and will extend our life time into the future where human cloning and cloning therapy will be commonplace. Some believe that human cloning has already taken place some where in the world. And that only high net worth individuals and highly placed government officials are privy to this secret science.

Cloning raises serious moral and ethical questions which we will leave to the clergy, politicians and humanity in general.

We will someday soon be able to grow entire organs in the laboratory such as hearts, livers, lungs, and kidneys for cloning therapies as replacement parts for our diseased or warn out vital organs. And through molecular DNA restructuring we will be able to grow new organs within our own bodies. But until than we must do all we can to stay healthy and try to stick around so we ourselves may one day be able to take full advantage of these wonderful new advancements in our lifetime. Of course if we fell, and if the world is allowed to go on long enough science someday in the distant future may be able to bring us all back from the dead. But I think Christ well most likely do that long before man develops that knowledge.

I first heard of the amazing Lemon/Lime and their wondrous properties when I was very young.

My granddad worked for the Southern Pacific Railroad as a member of the railroads work gangs in the Southwestern United States and some of the gang members that he help get hired were some local Apache and Yaqui Indians, who in turn told us about the Lemon and Limes.

The Yaqui's were well known for there amazing ability to go for long periods of time with very little to eat or drink. In fact, they could travel for days and even weeks with out food or water. This was one of the great advantages they seemed to have over there enemies and most likely contributed to the fact they never signed any treaties or concessions with anyone, then or to this day. Which included there so-called superior adversaries the US Calvary and The Mexican army. Who in the 18 and 1900’s pursued them relentlessly. They shared with us (my granddad) some of their secrets. They told him about how they would take Lemons or Limes with them and they would eat the whole fruit and nothing else and that would sustain them completely and they would not get hungry. They claimed they could just add some water from time to time from remotely scattered desert springs along with wild honey combs and an occasional herb tea (sage) and that would in able them to go even longer without any other food of any kind. Yet stay strong, healthy and mentally alert.

As a young boy I became aware of my grandfather's strong work ethic. I remember him going to work Monday through Friday and often on Saturdays. He would rise well before dawn with my grandmother. They would have their morning glass of Raw apple cider vinegar with some maple syrup or molasses, black coffee, eggs sunny-side up, thick well-done bacon with toast, a wedge of sweet white onion and a hot Chile pepper. The bacon cooked first in the big black iron skillet, then the eggs cooked slowly with the bacon grease splashed over them. One of my fondest memories was the wonderful aroma that would awaken me whenever I stayed overnight with my grandparents. That early morning coffee percolating on the kitchen stove, bacon & eggs frying in the frying pan, and fresh bread in the oven toasting I thought was a great way to start a day. But even to this day, when I am on one of my early morning walks with my wife, and we pass a home with a similar aroma drifting from the kitchen, it reminds me of those wonderful days with my grandparents. I have never felt that I belonged more, was welcomed more, or was more at home than when I visited with my grandparents. Every workday after breakfast Granddad, as I called him, would journey off to the bus stop two blocks away. In 27 dedicated years on the railroad he never missed a day and was late only twice. He worked long hard hours in the hot southwest summer sun and the bone chilling cold, and sometimes snowy, and often windy winters.

He was an honored member of the railroad’s work gang. The work gangs of those days repaired and built the railroad. Whatever needed to be done, they did it, be it laying the iron track or creosote wooden ties, or driving spikes using a 12 pound sledgehammer, or building wood, steel, or concrete bridges, he did all of this excruciating work with vigor and pride. My Granddad would tell me, “it’s a good job and I’m glad to have it.”

We now know we can't eat that way, if we want to lead stronger, longer and much healthier lives. Now is the time for all of us to realize and convince ourselves once and for all that good health is an acquired lifestyle, not just pills, exercise or one of the many diets that permeate the bookshelves in our libraries and bookstores around the globe. The basis of that life style starts with the LemonFastTM miracle drink. It is then followed up with the right foods and in proper amounts.

Many foods that are good for you are also great tasting and good for you. As a result of the LemonFast you stay healthy and you will not put on pounds and so with including a regiment of moderate walking and good fresh pure water your on your way to a healthier and longer life. The LemonFastTM drink benefits are tremendous and along with the right lifestyle, it will energize you, improve your mental alertness, your attitude, and it will invigorate you. Most importantly it may help to heal whatever ails you.

Forget diets, for the LemonFastTM miracle drink is a program a real change of lifestyle. Think of it as a permanent lifestyle change, not a fad diet like the kind that when you do lose weight it seems predestined only to gain it back. The LemonFastTM miracle drink is good for everybody, including diabetics.

There are so many diet books out there, some good, others not so good. Many are confusing at the very least, but together they are impossible to decipher what may really work from what doesn't.

From the get go, our coaching will be plain, simple and factual. The basic fundamentals of what you can do for yourself, which will contribute to a joyful, longer and healthier life.

The first and most important things you can do to make this lifestyle change is to make the decision to change what you eat. No more fast foods, refined sugars or refined and or enriched flours, especially refined white flour and all processed fats. Remember only animal products contain cholesterol. To derive the very best in vitamins and minerals that are absolutely safe for anyone use organic vegetables. A vitamin or mineral deficiency or both cause most all diseases.

DO NOT use vitamins/minerals that are derived from metallic sources, clays, sea beds, etc. Some are toxic and none are absorbed by the body as well as plant derived vitamins and minerals. And watch out for the gelatin capsules many vitamins come in.

As found on my web site at www.MichaelWebster.net you’ll find it says there are dangers in taking vitamin and mineral pills. Nutritional supplements in tablet or pill form have been around for decades. They're standard in today's quest for optimum health. Yet few people realize in order for the pill to take it's shape numerous binders are used. These binders have little to do with nutrition and are very hard for the body to dissolve.

The use of DCP to bind the pill ingredients is the problem. DCP can't be broken down by the body, so it passes right through along with the beneficial nutrients. That's why sewer systems have literally tons of undissolved pills clogging the pipes. But there is even more danger.

You should also know that there are raw animal parts sold over-the-counter as "brain tonics" or virility pick-me-ups and could provide an avenue for "mad cow" syndrome to enter the United States.

Could food supplements and medications be inadvertent media for the spread of prion based brain diseases? Multiple sources would suggest this is possible, even likely, due to the use of animal gelatins. This probability goes up even more when the medication itself is a glandular extract.

Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies)(TSI), BSE and others known as "Mad Cow" disease are becoming very important to society and something we should all be aware of! The Nobel Prize has been awarded to Carleton Gajdusek for his Kuru/TSE research on the subject and to Stanley Prusiner for his TSE/Prion research. Pulitzer prize winning author Richard Rhodes wrote "Deadly Feasts" a controversial expose on the subject, and Oprah Winfrey dedicated a show to BSE/Mad Cow, and was promptly sued by Texas cattlemen, but the Courts upheld her show's 1st Amendment right to Freedom of Speech! The Current official death toll stands at 81 in England, 2 in France, and perhaps still others may not yet be reported. Many French towns have ban beef use in school cafeterias, and France banned sale of beef thyroid glands in November, 2000, and many other countries have followed suit or are banding imports from many European and South American countries as well as England and customs upon entry are much stricter on even humans who have even traveled to those countries. Even more bans are expected around the world, due to both outbreaks of "mad cow" and foot and mouth disease. The Red Cross will not take your blood if you have been to England for an accumulated time of three years or more and five years from many European countries. Mad cow and many related diseases can not be detected by any known blood test so the Red Cross has been putting us all at risk. Health experts say Prions can not be killed by mere cooking or even by boiling. Humans, Cows, Sheep, Pigs, Mink, and wild animals have all caught and died of TSE' Over 30,700 web pages mention "mad cow" (AltaVista), and over 9,000 pages use the technical term "Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy". Web pages on Chaperonins, chemicals possibly preventing the mis-folding of proteins which are the basis for TSE's and Alzheimer's, jumped from 2 to over 6,000 in one year!

Clearly, Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies, such as BSE and CJD (one human form,) are a topic of some controversy, one we should all become more aware of. Yet those who profit strive to censor the topic.

There are natural thyroid extracts, such as Armour Thyroid, and synthetics such as Cytomel and Synthroid. The natural ones are taken from the thyroid glands of animals, such as pigs.

Some questions have been raised as to where natural thyroid supplements come from, and how safe they may be with respect to Mad Cow Disease.

In America and many other countries chicken excrement is fed to cattle as a good source of nitrogen. As for the American FDA's ban on feeding meat and animal by-products to cattle, that's a ban with exclusions big enough to drive a Hearst through. Their own TSE advisory committee urged the FDA to take stronger measures.

Chairman of the British government's Spongiform Encephalopathy Advisory Committee (SEAC), Dean of the University College of London Medical School, believes 500,000 people may already be incubating CJD in Britain. Dr. Alsleben, in his excellent Mad Cow web site, states that prions can be found in white blood cells contaminating milk, and even in the animal grease used in lipstick. Professor Richard Lacey of the Microbiology Department of Chapel Allerton Hospital, points out that "there was no certainty that the source of infection had been cut off."... "'If it seems that the incubation-period average for CJD in humans begins to be about twenty five years, maybe thirty years,' he said grimly, 'then the peak human epidemic will come around the year 2015. If the current numbers of variant CJD cases [the main human TSE,] increases by fifty percent per year compounded, as they well might, that would take it to about two hundred thousand cases a year by then'. Human cases, that is 200,000 deaths per year."

MORE of the Alzheimer's cases in America may be due to CJD and other TSE variants of TSE related deaths?

Several Prion variants have been found, some of which act quickly, some of which act far more slowly, so the 25 year estimate may be considerably off. There is also recent research on chaperonins, biochemicals that assist in folding proteins, which may be related to resistance to prion diseases. (Prion diseases are believed to involve folding of proteins, and what is similar to crystal growth of the mis-folded proteins.) See http://www.mad-cow.org/ and look up chaperonin at http://www.AltaVista.Digital.com , a site that only had two pages on the web last year, and now has over six thousand!

Will we find a cure in time? Tissue with a twenty five years incubation time is a long time but is it long enough?.... If one ends up with thyroid supplements in one's late thirties, it might be age 65 when some of the more noticeable effects begin to become evident. Those with less resistant genetics may display effects much sooner. Others may die of other dis-eases before the effects of TSE would become clearly visible. And most... may even avoid coming down with the disease.

We must all weigh risks v.s. benefits ourselves. We are not a doctors, we cannot advise you; you have to think for yourself. Like Oprah, we have stopped eating beef; as well as all other animal meats and animal products like gelatin. We dump the contents of all our gelatin capsules into a spoon, and discard the empty capsules. We also avoid all "Farmed" fish like catfish, salmon. Is that enough? I don't know. With luck, we may never find out.

The dietary supplement industry admits that even popular over-the-counter products like melatonin and condroitin sulfate - used to fight jet lag and muscle soreness - could contain animal parts.

A loophole in federal law may be allowing animal parts to be imported as dietary supplements from countries battling "mad cow" outbreaks.

Shipments between countries is making it difficult to determine the exact country of origin of many of the materials sold as dietary supplements or in health food stores. This is a $16 billion industry in the United States alone. Customs records show the United States last year imported 3.3 million pounds of dried animal glands.

Many of what the industry calls "glandular" products are made from ground-up cattle brains, thymus or "orchis," which is Latin for a bull's testicles and sold as products to improve brain power or virility. Some other over-the-counter products including melatonin and condroitin sulfate can contain parts of the trachea (throat) of cattle and still others can contain cattle organs, including brain, spleen, lung, liver, pancreas, pituitary, pineal gland, adrenal glands, lymph node, placenta, prostate, heart, kidney, intestine and thyroid can be found in some of these products.

Many binder compounds remain in your bloodstream long after the pill has been eliminated. And that's where the danger comes in. These remnant molecules can cause plaque to form on the walls of your veins -- leading to heart disease and possible stroke, even death. Not to mention pre-mature aging, painful joints, and kidney stones.

All this time you thought you were improving your health by taking your daily dosage of vitamin pills -- but reality says you could be causing yourself serious harm.

Next, because of these binder agents, 90% of the nutrients you were trying to get are passed through the body unabsorbed. That means 90 cents out of every dollar you spend on vitamin pills is being wasted. Only 10% of the nutrients make it into your system, and here's where the next danger begins.

Vitamins and minerals beneficial effect depends on the right balance of nutrients and in the right proportions. That small 10% that gets absorbed could be rendered useless if it's not balanced with the other necessary vitamins and minerals. Overtaxing of the kidneys can result because vitamin companies use mega-dosages to make up for the inefficiency of the pill and tablet form of nutritional delivery.

Add to this all the confusing advice out there. Misinformation, half-baked recommendations, and a lack of a discipline approach to health management increases the chance of poor results -- even causing the health problems you were trying to avoid.

Another concern is the prevalent use of synthetic nutrients in vitamin pill manufacturing. In order to cut costs vitamin companies try to duplicate nature by making synthetic vitamins. With the help of a chromatogram, a scientific technique for looking at the structure of whole food products vs. their synthetic counterparts, the difference is night and day. Despite mans best effort the synthetic pales in comparison.

A key element in the manufacturing process of synthetic nutrients is the use of heat, and chemical solvents like ether, benzene and toluene. First, heat dramatically reduces the potency of the nutrients and loses their action potential making them unusable by your body's cells.

Next, the chemicals they use are the same ones they use to manufacture insecticides, motor fuels, explosives and lacquers. Just think about that for minute!

Whenever possible one should eat fresh organic foods or if not possible take a whole food supplement, rather than a manufactured mineral or vitamin supplement. Plant derived vitamins and minerals are 98 percent absorbable whereas the others absorption rates are less or unknown. You can take all the vitamins in the world, but if you aren't taking minerals along with them, they won't do you much good.

There can be major differences between whole food and vitamin and mineral supplements. Rich and powerful pharmaceutical companies that also provide most all medical drugs and chemicals manufacture vitamin and mineral supplements. Many of these supplements are reported to be synthesized, by using coal tar, petroleum, discarded animal by-products, powdered rocks and shells. Vitamin B-12 comes from ground cattle organs, which can be loaded with steroids, antibiotics, herbicides, and pesticides. Perhaps the most sickening is their use of fecal matter in the form of activated sewage sludge. It is inexpensive to obtain and is loaded with B-12. It is always best however in our opinion to provide the human body with as much variety as possible of whole, uncooked natural organic foods; they retain their living enzymes and their full spectrum of bio-available vitamins, minerals, and trace elements.

Only eat plant foods that are centered around fresh vegetables, fruit, whole grains, beans, nuts, legumes, and all organically grown. Remember all claimed organically grown foods might not be. You really must know first about the soil the plants are being grown in. Is there now or has there ever been herbicides applied to the soil? Now or in the past has there been pesticides applied to the plants? DDT for an example once in the human system it can take weeks or even months before there are no detectable residue and can take years to be completely removed from some soils. And remember just a couple of decades ago chemical companies like Monsanto were claiming DDT was good for our health. While experts say toxic pollution levels declined dramatically in the Great Lakes since the 1970s, the decline in persistent chemical pollution leveled off in the 1980s. In some cases toxic chemical levels in the Great Lakes have recently risen, as atmospheric deposits of PCBs, DDT and other banned chemicals in the US are blown thousands of miles by winds from countries that still use these compounds. As a result, fresh samples of DDT can be found today in the tissues of Great Lakes fish, even though DDT was banned for use in the US in the early 1970s.

These chemical deposits are not limited to the Great Lakes. EPA reported that fish advisories against eating PCB contaminated fish rose 41% across the US from 1995 to 1996. Consumers need to educate themselves and make informed decisions. If you must eat fish you can reduce your exposure to PCBs in fish by the way you cook the fish and should avoid altogether certain types of fish for women of reproductive age if how and where the fish came from. It is believed that 95% of human exposure to toxic chemicals comes through the diet, and fish is a major route of exposure since they more readily bioaccumulate toxic compounds. Still, these fish advisories are too often ignored by consumers or not enforced by local health agencies.

The only sure and safe way to control the soil, plants and the water is to grow a garden yourself and you will know for sure what you allowed into the soil and what you put into the soil. Knowledge of what type of fertilizers and/or pesticides you used would help you understand what is in the plants. In most people's back yards or a shared community victory garden you can learn how to grow truly organically. If you believe you just are not ready to give up meat than eat only lean meats from organically fed animals, along with other sources of organic protein. You may want to consider, if you have access to some land the raising of your own Buffalo or Ostrich or Rabbit or a combination for Varity. These meats are very testy and have 50% to 80% less fat than commercial beef or pork, depending on what you feed them. Again you may have to grow your own animal feed to control what the animal is eating and you will know you used no hormones, fast grow chemicals or harmful medications that can be passed on to you and yours.

You should always exercise for at least 30 minutes everyday. That’s about 2 miles of walking per day or less jogging or swimming. Take SeaSilver everyday. Drink clean, pure fresh water daily, with a minimum intake of at least 8 or more 8-ounce glasses of water. Drink one eight oz. glass of water with a tea spoon of pure organic raw apple cider vinegar and one tea spoon of pure organic maple syrup grade B, before each meal when you are eating. Take one table spoon of fresh Bee Pollen daily and moderate amounts of Sea Salt, keep the overall volume intake down, don't overeat and wallaaa... the pounds start falling off immediately and health is more likely to be restored.

By taking the LemonFastTM miracle drink you should reach your best body weight for you and you can maintain this perfect body weight. Following this program you may live longer and be healthier. Do it, do it now, do it for you, do it for those who love you, and do it for the love of life.

I started dieting and read every book on the subject of dieting and that is saying something, and tried many diets. They all would help a little. I'd loss some weight and gain it back, the old yo yo trick. Nearly all of them overlooked the most important thing you need to know. And that is to get your pH back in tune and in balance with its self and Mother Nature. (See Chapter on pH)

How do you do that? An old Yaqui Indian told my granddad the secret to a long and healthy life was in the Lemon or Lime and that it is God's way of balancing the body and bringing it back into harmony with itself.

With that in mind I started a major campaign to learn as much as I could about the Lemon and Lime. It wasn't long after I started the program using the “LemonFastTM” Miracle Drink that my blood pressure returned to normal and my blood sugar stayed within normal limits and my pH became alkaline. I averaged loosing two lbs per day on my first “LemonFastTM” Miracle Drink that lasted 10 days with only the “LemonFastTM” Miracle Drink and nothing else. I felt better, looked better, my brain seemed to be kicking in better and a new wardrobe was now in order. I expect to be by the end of my 10 day lemonFastTM program hovering around 240 lbs. and hopefully feeling great. The “LemonFastTM” Miracle Drink that I have described has successfully and consistently demonstrated its ability to detoxify the body by eliminating poisons in the blood and cleansing the whole digestive system. It alters what normally goes into and comes out of a cell, permitting the flushing of toxins out of the cells. It can also help to bring your pH to a slightly alkaline state. Lemons and limes are claimed to be one of the richest sources of many minerals and vitamins. They are rich in Vitamin C ascorbic acid, potassium, manganese, selenium, boron, K vitamin, nickel, bioflainoids, antioxidants and high in fiber. They are available the year round.
No one knows just where lemons and limes came from. The cultivated lemon is possibly a natural hybrid of two wild species, most likely lime, C. aurantifolia, and citron, C. medica. Some believe it arose solely from ancestral versions of C. medica. The first written mention of the lemon was in an Sanskrit writing in India from 2,800 years ago. It's spread with agriculture and settlement was to the East, into south Asia, southwest Asia, and then to the eastern Mediterranean. Lemons went from the Middle East along the shipping routes to Spain and northern Africa in the Middle Ages. The Spanish and Portuguese soon introduced it to their colonies in South America and the Caribbean.

Lemons and limes have natural plant chemicals ('phytochemicals') called 'monoterpenes' in their skin that both protect against cells becoming cancerous, and help fight existing cancers. At least, as studied in laboratory mice - but there is no reason to think these chemicals wouldn't be active in humans.

Unless they are certified as 'organically grown', commercial citrus may have been dipped/sprayed with anti fungal chemicals to prevent storage rots (they may also be dyed to heighten the color, and waxed with a vegetable derived wax to heighten the appearance). Therefore it is advisable to select only organic fruit to chew on the peel. It is unknown if the tumor fighting chemicals survive heat and processing.

The “LemonFastTM Miracle Drink has been formulated, to cleanse your body and lose 2 lbs or more per day. It was created to give your internal body a rest by washing away unhealthy toxins and fat, starting at the cellular level and giving your digestive system a much needed, break.

Recipe Credit Given Master Cleanser lemon fast by Stanley Burroughs

Drink hot, cold, or room temperature whenever hungry throughout the day. Make more as desired, but drink at least one quart per day. You may drink hot herb teas and all the water you want.

On day 2, before preparing the daily LemonFastTM miracle drink, prepare the following:

Drink all at once first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. The salt and warm water will not separate but will stay intact and quickly and thoroughly wash the entire intestinal tract. Several eliminations may or may not occur, this is normal. The salt water has the same specific gravity as blood. Therefore the kidneys cannot pick up the water and the blood cannot pick up the salt. This may be taken as often as needed for proper washing of the entire digestive system. Diabetics may want to substitute the maple syrup with molasses in the same amounts. The molasses supplies the necessary elements for the pancreas to produce insulin.

Come off the fast gradually. You should start with a glass of pure, fresh orange juice in the morning, drink slowly. For lunch prepare vegetable and tomato soup. It is important to wash vegetables with soap and water. Some garlic and onion should be added, along with cayenne pepper, to taste. Supper should be fresh raw fruit, nuts or a hardy vegetable stew with garlic and onion to taste. (Don’t over cook). You are now ready to eat normally again. But be careful what you choose to put into your mouth. Stay on organic foods and take your SeaSilver.

Formula number two: For active and athletic people.

Follow the above herbal laxative tea and salt water drink as recommended.

Mix 10-12 ounces of Grade B maple syrup with 10-12 ounces of organic lemon juice. Mix the two items together and put into one gallon container. Then fill to top with distilled water. Add one level teaspoon of cayenne pepper (or to taste). Shake well. Drink twelve ten ounce glasses throughout the day.

LemonFast testimonials

“I’m a firm believer in the lemon fast. This is what it did for me: I lost 18 lbs. In 10 days, my symptoms of arthritis were greatly reduced, I experienced incredible energy, my mind was sharp as a tack, and I only felt hungry a couple of times.” -Tony Walker

“I was apprehensive about trying the lemon fast because of imbalances with my blood sugar level, but wanted to try it because of the positive results I witnessed firsthand in others. The first week was difficult for me as my sugar level fluctuated. However, the end result is that I can now sleep through the night without being awakened with a headache and shakes. My blood sugar is more level, and though I still eat regularly, I am not as abnormally enslaved to food in order to function.” -Deborah Walker

During a recent past Holiday season, world-renowned painter Michael Lavery visited his relatives back in New England with his wife and four sons. He had not traveled back east from California since he had started his family. Michael felt it was a great visit and the extended family was happy to see all of them. "My mom and step dad was a little surprised at my weight gain Michael remembers. They had remembered seeing me at close to my ideal weight (185 lbs.) a few years earlier. Now I was weighing 212 lbs. and they were kidding me about my spare tire around my waist. I tried to explain that I had injured myself playing tennis four months previously and that I could not exercise like I was accustomed to. "Let's face it Michael, you have to admit that you are getting older and those pounds just keep on adding on as the years go by". they said to me. I wanted to counter their ribbing but the evidence of my weight gain was obvious and there was no disputing them. I am a tournament tennis player and play in money events so whenever I mentioned my tennis aspirations they immediately reminded me of my present condition. Not only was there weight gain but also I was also experiencing stress, high blood pressure, dizziness and vertigo problems. I did not share this information with them and decided to seek medical consultation after the New Year. Upon returning to California, I saw a neurologist and he was surprised at my blood pressure reading and he explained that a lot of my symptoms were stress related. He prescribed a sedative medication to take at bedtime and he made another appointment for me one month later. He said that if the symptoms did not clear up that it might be necessary to take a scan of the brain. I left his office and immediately started to think about what natural means that I could take to regain my health. I told a good friend about my dilemma and he suggested that I do a cleansing diet. He said that, "it appears that the root of your problems stem from your diet and the only way back to optimum health is to do a ten day cleansing lemonade fast, eat the healthy way and exercise regularly." I looked at him as if he was crazy. When he explained that for ten days that no solid food would be eaten, I really thought he was nuts. However, my situation was serious so I decided to read up on his literature and within two days, I embarked on the journey. I went down to our local natural (organic) foods store and purchased twenty lemons, 2 bottles of grade B Maple Syrup, Some Cayenne Pepper and distilled water. Along with these I bought some uniodized Sea Salt and an herbal laxative tea. The procedure was to drink the laxative at bedtime and on the 2nd morning to drink a quart of sea salt water to further clean my digestive track. The directions said to prepare one whole lemon by blending it add maple syrup and cayenne pepper and distilled water in the following way. Two tablespoons of grade B maple syrup, one tenth of a teaspoon of cayenne pepper to nine ounces of distilled water. Between six and twelve glasses of formula could be consumed per day for the next ten days. Whenever there is a sense of hunger one is to have more of the LemonFastTM drink. I had never attempted anything like this in my life but for the cleansing sake of this LemonFastTM program, I was willing to give it a try. The first two days were the most difficult, and at the end of the second day as I was watching the rest of my family consume regular food, I nearly broke the LemonFastTM drink program. I said to my wife Diana, "I really need to have some regular food. She said, "You are a wimp." That was all she needed to say. I resisted the urge of "real" food and made myself a cup of herbal laxative tea. Day three was much better because I was already in the process of removing toxins from my body. I started to feel a sense of energy and I was reading up on nutritional information to prepare myself for the breaking of the fast in 7 days. At this time, I realized that I could do it. After day 4, I weighed myself and I realized that I had lost eight lbs. What was astonishing to me is that my work and exercise were in no way affected. Seeing these results was inspiring and feeling the diminished dizziness and vertigo problems was awesome. During the LemonFastTM drink program I even played a tennis tournament and won a few rounds in the open division against college players. When people at the tournament asked me what I was drinking, I explained it to them and they gave me a weird look. However, whenever I met someone who was complaining of health problems or interested in weight reduction they were all ears. On average, I lost two lbs. per day but more importantly, I felt great by the end of the 10th day. My skin complexion was much smoother and people that had not seen me in awhile and hardly recognized me. The most important thing that occurred during the LemonfastTM program was that I inspired my wife to follow suit. She noticed such a change in me that she started the program just as I was ending my tenth day. She claims to feel much better after going the full ten days and she reduced her weight 12 lbs. We both are staying the course of healthy eating and exercising and the benefits are tremendous. Once a person has done the LemonLimeFastTM drink, foods selected for consumption are given much consideration. The knowledge that the intestinal track was given a thorough cleansing as well as the organs is assuring. Nevertheless, more importantly, the rebuilding process that also occurs with the Lemonfast program is remarkable. Because of the cleansing properties of the fast the body can start to assimilate nutrients from the "good" foods that it was incapable when the intestinal track was clogged with the mucus and devitalized foods. I have even seen my gray hair changing back to its natural color. This makes me feel like the choices of our diet allow us to reverse our biological years. My desire to fully study the benefits of proper nutrition has been sparked by the LemonFastTM drink. I truly believe that I will add years of quality sports to my career as well as decades of optimum health to my life by staying on this path. To share this with others is a most satisfying experience. I believe that to this date I have directly or indirectly been responsible for many people from all walks of life going on the LemonFastTM drink.”

The health of the body and mind are very much governed by the pH levels of the blood and the bodily fluids. Normal pH level for the blood is 7.4 and the range goes from 7.35 to 7.45. This is pure scientific fact. For everyone the temperature of the body is 98.6 degrees and the pH of the blood is exactly 7.4 when it is operating at peak efficiency. This very narrow range is critical for homeostasis, otherwise the human system gets out of balance and disease can overtake the body.

The pH scale ranges from 1-14. The highest acid level possible is 1pH and the most alkaline level possible is a 14pH. What is measured is the proportion of hydrogen ions (H+) relative to hydroxyls (OH-) within arterial blood. It is expressed as a negative logarithm. This means that a drop in pH indicates an increase in hydrogen ions and a decrease in hydrogen ions is demonstrated by a rise in pH. It reflects a balance between acids and bases (alkaline) rather than a measure of total acids in solution. Body chemistry (fluids) has a delicate range between 6.8-7.4 pH for proper maintenance of health. Maintaining this pH range is necessary for the whole body to function well physically, mentally and emotionally. Tremendous amounts of research indicates that the cells of the body need proper pH balance for optimum performance.

The problem is that most people do not have any serious understanding of the major importance of monitoring and maintaining proper pH levels of the bodily fluids. It is very easy to do and the cost is minimal. Most health food stores or pharmacies carry such a pH testing kit. It can be done in the privacy of the home and takes only seconds. The urine is the best indicator of the state of the pH of the blood, although there is a test for the saliva. When a pH strip is place in the urine stream it will indicate whether this bodily fluid is acidic or alkaline. From this reading one can take the necessary steps to keep it at the right levels or bring it within a healthy range. So many people that are introduced to this idea are very curious about what all this means to them and they must read up on the matter for there to be any benefit

Urine runs slightly acid pH and it is normal for readings to range from 6.0 to the 7.4. Throughout the day, the readings will vary. Usually in the morning, the level will be lower because no food has been eaten for 8 to 10 hours. With the consumption of food, it will rise during the day, depending upon each individual’s circumstances. If the proper ratio of alkaline to acid foods is eaten, the pH of the urine will be the indicator. One has to understand that when the term alkaline or acid is used it is the state of the ash of the metabolized food that is being measured. This ash (waste) that is excreted by the cells, enters the extra-cellular fluid, makes its way into the blood stream and determines the blood pH. For example, the pH of milk is alkaline, however it is metabolized as an acid ash. Likewise the pH of lemon juice is extremely acidic, but it is metabolized as an alkaline ash. It is the amount of these waste products in concentration in the intracellular and extracellular fluid that determines the state of the pH of the blood. These waste products enter the blood stream and therefore increase the concentration of Hydrogen ions (H+) or Hydroxyls (OH-), thus either raising or lowering the pH of the blood. When Hydroxyls outnumber Hydrogen ions, the pH is a slightly alkaline. If the reverse is true, then the body activates the buffer system, by adding alkaline minerals into the bloodstream. This in turn brings the blood pH within the proper range.

By eating the wrong foods (too much acid ash), the body is in a state of stress. If the pH of the urine is constantly in the high acid range then this is called acidosis. When the urine pH is 6.0 and below for extended periods of time, it indicates that body fluids elsewhere are too acidic. This puts an extra burden on the body because it is constantly attempting to rid itself of an acid medium. Consequently, when the urine pH is normal, the blood pH is normal. However, when the urine pH is overly acidic the blood pH is likely below 7.35 and this state of acidosis is extremely dangerous. This is where depletion of important minerals occurs, resulting in a host of health problems. The magnitude of this information is of incredible importance to someone who is fighting a disease, overcoming an illness, or desiring to be in a state of optimum health.

The cell, the basic unit of life is slightly alkaline with pH is in the 7.3 to 7.4 range. Buffers in our body constantly adjust our pH balance, which keep our blood from becoming either too acidic or too alkaline. Our bones, lungs, kidneys, liver and other processes all keep our pH at normal levels. Healthy cells contain large amounts of alkaline substances such as oxygen, bicarbonate and certain minerals. However, the wear and tear of daily life gradually causes our cells to lose their alkalinity and become more acidic. This scenario makes us more prone to disease. Over 90% of Americans become overly acidic during their lifetimes, due in part to many factors. Diet is one of the major reasons. The saying “you are what you eat” is a true, but we are more about what we digest and assimilate. If our digestive tract is lined with mucus, toxins and dried fecal matter then we are not in a position to benefit from the right foods.

This is why using the potent detoxifying fruits of lemon and lime is so important. By doing the LemonFastTm, we can reestablish the small intestines’ natural pH climate. If we eat foods that metabolized as an alkaline ash (70% to 80%) then our bodily fluids will have a slightly alkaline reading. For most Americans this is not the case. The foods that they consume create mostly acid ash and consequently the bodily fluids become acidic. Keep in mind that the blood is composed of 85 percent water. It is the state of this water that by in large determines our health. As explained previously, water ionizes into hydrogen ions (H+) or hydroxyls (OH-). These molecules form with the molecules of other minerals to determine the pH of the bodily fluids.

Factors such as toxins, stress, lack of exercise, inadequate water intake and failure to control weight all push the body to a more acid state. They used to say that the body’s first line of defense is the immune system. However, there is a growing consensus amongst scientists that pH is a more important factor. Without the pH being in the right state, the lymph nodes are compromised. The adult human body is comprised of approximately 10 gallons of water. The pH of this fluid, which is contained in every cell throughout the body, is either acid or alkaline. The ideal situation is for all of these cells to be in an alkaline solution. However when the pH of the urine indicates otherwise, it means that all the water in the body is acidic. This affects the chemistry of the entire body. The human being was designed by God to be able to constantly heal itself. If we go counter to the manual that we have been given (The Holy Bible) then we will experience a diminished quality of life.

According to research, total healing of chronic illness only takes place when and if the blood, intra-cellular and extra-cellular fluids are restored to a normal, slightly alkaline pH. There are two organs of the body where acid is supposed to be in abundance. They are the stomach and the mantle of the skin. All other areas of the body are meant to be in an alkaline state. However, due to the poor diet and lifestyle of our modern culture, the intestines are generally more acidic than nature intended it to be. This creates a climate where parasites and bacterial infestation can manifest. Most people do not know that their diets create a toxic, acidic, anaerobic (oxygen deprived), parasite-laden, and systemically diseased body. If they knew how to reverse this trend then many would. This could happen by undergoing the LemonFastTM detoxifying program. By cleansing the whole digestion tract, the body is prepared to acclimate to the right foods, which restores the proper pH levels of the body. Would you prefer creating an alkaline, strong immune and oxygen rich cellular system? The decision is ours. However, the actions we take should be guided with irrefutable scientific fact.

Maintenance of pH depends on Hydrogen ion concentration, H+ ions produced by metabolism. The pH is a measure of expressing extremely small concentrations of acids in solution. The scale is exponential. A change of one unit is actually a ten-fold change. A pH reading of 6.0 is ten times more acidic than a pH of 7.0 or a reading of 5.0 is one hundred times more acidic than a level at 7.0

Acids are substances that can provide a hydrogen ion. Strong acids hold their H+ ion weakly, so that it is free to dissociate and act on other substances. Weak acids hold the hydrogen more tightly so it does not contribute as greatly to free hydrogen ion concentration. As a result the solution has a higher (less acidic) pH.

Natural buffer systems help blood keeps its pH constant. Alkaline minerals, Bicarbonates, phosphates, and intra-cellular proteins are ready to regulate the acid in our bodies and restore the necessary alkalinity in our blood. The human body has a buffering system by which substances can enter the bloodstream and resist changes in pH (acid concentration) by undergoing a reversible reaction. For example, when hydrogen ion concentration increases, alkaline minerals (calcium) neutralize the acid and only a small change in pH will occur. Without the buffer system the change in blood pH would be life threatening. Our lungs breathe in alkaline oxygen and eliminate acid wastes in the form of carbon dioxide. The kidneys eliminate excessive amounts of either acid or alkaline substances in the urine. Our bones constantly release their alkaline minerals—calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, zinc, boron, copper, and strontium in order to neutralize acids that the body produces or ingest.

An example of a buffer is the carbonic acid (H2CO3) and bicarbonate (H+HCO3-) system. This buffer is a pH shock absorber, which temporarily binds to the free hydrogen ion, and it becomes a rapid response. The carbonic acid dissociates to carbon dioxide (CO2) and H2O and the lungs expel the acid waste resulting in a small change in pH. Without the presence of bicarbonate the concentration of H+ ions would increase and the blood would become extremely acidic.

The uniqueness of this buffer system is that the reaction is reversible. The hydrogen ion can be given back. When alkali is added to solution, carbonic acid provides the proton to neutralize the alkali, resulting in only a small change in pH, that otherwise would be much greater with the increase of hydroxide (OH-) ions. Through the complex chemical regulation of carbonic acid (by the lungs) and of base (alkaline) bicarbonate (by the kidneys) the body maintains the hydrogen ion concentration (pH) which keeps the extra cellular fluid between 6.8 and 7.4

The pH range indicates the amount of oxygen in your system. Each .10 = 10% less oxygen in your system. This means that if your pH is 6.2, you have 20% less oxygen than someone who has a pH of 6.4. The correlation between high acid pH levels and chronic degenerative disorders is quite strong. The lack of oxygen in the blood creates a breeding ground for many of the diseases that confront our modern society. The body tries to neutralize the high acidity with oxygen (alkaline). When the body is in a chronic state of acidosis, the body is spending all its oxygen reserves trying to neutralize the acid. Consequently, it neglects the function of metabolism and toxic waste removal. This can lead to a chronically low oxygen levels and high toxic levels.

The foods that we eat can help increase our oxygen reserves. This is one of the reasons that alkaline foods should be between 70% and 80% of the diet. Foods that contain both fat and protein are low in oxygen-weight ratios and they can further deplete the body because it takes more oxygen to metabolize them. Foods that are metabolized as alkaline ash such as spinach, broccoli, collards and a host of green leafy foods are made up of almost 50% oxygen. This adds to the energy level of the body and mind because the alkaline oxygen is not being depleted through the metabolic process. Reduction diets that are low in complex carbohydrates and high in protein might work for temporary weight loss however low energy levels are the result.

In 1931, Otto Warburg of Germany won his first Nobel Prize for his discovery of oxygen deficiency in the cancer growth process. He proved that unlike healthy cells, cancer cells do not require oxygen. Their growth instead involves a process of fermentation. Thus when the pH is off, our bodies are running more acid, and our cells are getting less oxygen. The conclusion is that cancer thrives under an acid tissue, pH/oxygen deficient environment. With the amount of processed foods (acid forming) we eat along with other factors that push our pH levels more acidic is it any wonder why cancer rates are up?

Just how important is oxygen? Stop breathing for a minute and you can easily get the picture. All cells in the body need to breathe and the amount of oxygen they get is related to the pH of the body. Now can you see why it is important to monitor the pH and how this can directly improve the quality of life?

If these are some of the symptoms that you are experiencing it may be very much connected to your pH level and the diminished oxygen in the system. Doing the LemonLimeFastTM is the first step to the road to recovery. As stated before, healing of chronic ailments can only happen in a slightly alkaline state. When the pH is too acidic certain enzymatic reaction fail to occur and cellular metabolism becomes difficult to regulate Connective tissue repair is especially dependent upon proper pH levels. When extra-cellular fluid (ECF) is acidic then these cells bathe and eventually die in their own wastes. When connective tissue cells die, they close the critical bridges between the cardiovascular system and the rest of the cells and organs of the body. When these passages are closed, nutrients can no longer be supplied nor can wastes be removed. This situation if left untreated is disastrous. The storage capacity for wastes is exhausted and the body begins to corrode in its own acidic wastes. Over time, these accumulated wastes begin to damage the veins and arteries, destroying cell walls and eventually entire organs.

The LemonFastTM cleanses the digestive tract and allows for the colon and the small intestines to return to their proper pH balance. Now the climate is prepared to assimilate the proper nutrition for proper pH, healing and health. Many people attempt to correct their pH without going on a cleansing program and they do not see a major change in their pH levels. This is because the mucus buildup, toxins and dried fecal matter have not been removed from the digestive tract and the “good” foods seem to have little benefit because they are not being assimilated. When the cleansing program is strictly followed, the rewards in terms of enhanced health and vitality are phenomenal.

The knowledge that you now possess will help you make the right lifestyle changes. The adherence to the proper ratio of alkaline to acidic foods should be followed on a daily basis. Other factors such as water consumption, exercise, exposure to sunshine and proper rest play a very important role in keeping the pH levels in the safe range. Of course, smoking and drugs are extremely unhealthy and alcohol if consumed, it should be in very moderate amounts.

Western Civilization is experiencing a tremendous increase in Osteoporosis. The fact that men and women in their senior years are losing calcium from their bones is alarming to all. What to do about this epidemic has both scientist and layman puzzled. As calcium is lost, the bones and teeth become more porous until they become fragile and susceptible to breakage. Consequently, the RDA of calcium goes up and up. Our medical profession has responded by telling everyone, especially women that they need to consume more dairy products to prevent the disease. Current figures show that this has done little to stem the growth of the disease.

The question needs to be addressed as to whether this is a disease of old age or a symptom of improper diet and pH balance. As discussed previously, when the acid levels of the blood are too high the buffer system releases calcium and magnesium from the bones. Milk and cheese are rich in calcium, however they create acid ash when metabolized. Thus their intake makes the body more acidic. They also are mucus forming foods and they line the walls of the digestive tract thereby preventing assimilation of proper nutrition. As with any objective view of western disease, Osteoporosis is quite possibly a disease that reflects our modern lifestyle. Research into an African population reveals some startling facts that we should consider. The women of the Bantu race do not suffer from Osteoporosis. Their daily average in take of Calcium is 350 mg per day, and yet no one has the disease. Although on average they produce eight children in a lifetime, they maintain remarkable bone density. What does this suggest? That calcium intake from dairy products has nothing to do with preventing osteoporosis.

The cumulative research of the last 20 years has proven conclusively what causes Osteoporosis, however there are no serious campaigns to educate us of the facts. In fact, quite the opposite is true. There is a tremendous amount of money spent on marketing animal based foods and the consumption by the public is indicative of this successful campaign. The dairy and cattle industries are heavily subsidized by the U.S. government, which in turn establishes the recommended daily allowance of these foods.

The truth of the matter is that we take in too much protein, especially the protein that is found in meat, dairy products, poultry and fish. All of these proteins are metabolized as acid wastes thus lowering the body pH and stressing the buffer system. The human body has very low protein requirements. We cannot store excess protein. Once the protein is digested and converted into amino acids, if not used, it is left circulating in the blood. When the amount of amino acids and their bi-products accumulate in the blood, the pH level drops as Hydrogen ion (H+) concentration rises. In order to balance the blood pH the body must take its most readily available alkaline minerals (Calcium and Magnesium) and draw them from the bones. The result is high levels of uric acid, calcium and magnesium in the urine.

The facts are evident. The more protein we eat the more the calcium is taken from the bones. When people eat a large meal consisting of animal proteins, there is considerable loss of calcium and magnesium. Studies have shown high levels of these alkaline minerals in the urine after such a meal. These important alkaline minerals are not easily replenished when the pH level is too acidic. In fact, if the pH levels are too low the body can not assimilate additional calcium that is digested whether by animal or plant based foods. Experiments have shown that when fed a meal dominated by plant based foods, there is little or no calcium in the urine.

Why is this information not common knowledge? One has to look at the entire picture to grasp the truth. It all comes down to money. Warning the people to minimize protein intake would compromise the industries that sell dairy and animal flesh products. These industries are extremely rich and powerful. They have deep pockets to funnel into advertising campaigns and they use the image of sports celebrities to appeal to the masses. When you see your favorite sports star with a milk mustache, you feel comfortable about consuming many milk and dairy products. These athletes seem to be the epitome of health and we are induced to follow suit and be like them.

Should not your doctor be aware of this information? Most of the time they are too engrained in the system and their very diets often reflect a poor choice of foods. Often times the quality of their food intake and lifestyle is not as good as the patients that they attend. Most of these General Practitioners did not study much nutrition while in Medical School because it is not heavily stressed in the curriculum. Further, on going education that doctors receive is either in journals funded by the pharmaceutical companies or at Medical conferences funded by these same companies. The medical system is designed to treat and cure through surgery and prescription, rather than adherence to holistic lifestyle methods. If this were the case then the number of doctor visits would be diminished greatly as well as the need for the continuation of prescribed drugs.

Just imagine how quickly a doctor who promoted a program of pH balance would come under attack from his colleagues especially if his patients had total healing. It would be difficult for the Doctor’s patients to understand why the departure from what is considered normal medical practice. However after positive results occurred it would be easier for others to apply the principles. Word of mouth spreads very quickly. This practice would be counter productive to the inherent interests of the Medical Industry.

Thomas Edison had a wonderful vision of the state of medicine in the future but it is doubtful that he had any idea as to how big a business it would become. There is certainly much more profit to be made if people are ill than if everyone was experiencing great health. Thus the medical establishments are seen by people as a “cure it” with drugs rather than teach me to heal myself. Even the Bible says “physician heal thyself”. They (doctors) practice what they preach. Consequently, it is up to every individual to educate themselves to the best of their ability and to be the master of their own vessel, the human body. The Bible refers to the body as the temple and it is our responsibility to care for it.

Now that you have been made aware of the significance of maintaining a proper pH level for the health of your body, it must be put to practice. Most health food and drug stores carry testing kits. It is certainly worthwhile to make this small investment and find out where your levels are. Then as you adjust the diet more in line to the way God intended us to eat, the pH will start to normalize.

Most adults will be in for an awakening because of the diet that they have followed for years. Because the foods they consume have been creating acid wastes in the metabolic process, the urine will show an acid reading. This is important to recovering a balanced pH. The LemonFastTM is the first step to recovery. However do not expect the pH levels to rise immediately. The reason is that at first there will be many toxins in the blood that have been loosened from the digestive tract. If weight is also being lost during the cleansing period, the acid reading will be rather strong because of the fatty acids that have been metabolized. These waste products are carried by water and they show up in the urine. The pH levels will rise towards the end of the 10-day period. When the body is acclimated to whole foods again and the 80% alkaline to 20% acid are maintained, then the pH will begin to stay in the optimum range for good health. Remember that it is not an overnight process and reversing years of acidosis comes slowly. Everyone’s body is different and the ratio of alkaline to acid foods might vary from person to person.
