The initial one he had was chromes disease which led to all the other diseases and the break down of his immune system and body in general. He was under the care of every modern doctor that we know, all modern or alternative medications, including folks like Dr. Atkins and many other specialist doctors in Germany, Mexico, and other countries trying anything to find a cure. He tried all modern medications, all of them, every alternative medication or approach to a cure, and all of them 100% failed. Every thing you have ever read about various diets, alternative cures, vitamins, all that stuff he tried and it didn't cure him. He was incurable. As a last resort, he went to California and tried a biblical approach to diet. The other option was to have his large intestine and colon removed. As a desperate measure, he tried this last resort diet and in 4 months he was 100% cured and his immune system was stronger than ever simply by eating the foods God outlines as acceptable to eat in the bible/vegetables and meats and fats. Prior to the diet, he was down to 100 pounds, no hair, and had only a few months to live with around 15 modern diseases in his body. The doctors that seen him said it was a miracle! He claims it wasn't a miracle, but simply eating the correct foods that our body is naturally composed to eat and digest to strengthen our immune system. This all happened in 1996 just a few years back. Now this man wrote a book about it, it is all medically and scientifically backed, no fluff in it at all. That is what makes this biblical based diet so amazing... everything in the book that is extracted from the bible to eat and so on is backed by current medical and scientific *facts*. This book is amazing. In a nut shell, this man states that what we eat in the United States causes nearly all our medical conditions. I.E the carb infested foods, the foods we eat with chemical preservatives in it, the water we drink with chlorine in it, the milk we drink that is pasteurized laced with antibiotics fed to cows/weakens our immune system since we drink it, and on the list of disease causing foods goes. He blames his decline to the point of death was because of his diet that he was eating. There is so much info in this book folks I have no clue even how to regurgitate it. All I can say is this is a read even if you have no faith or belief in a supreme power. This brings a balanced approach to a diet and is absolutely amazing and is backed by medical and scientific facts with each thing brought out in the book.

The Maker's Diet starts where other diets end, giving readers a roadmap that leads them on the path to lifelong wellness. 'The Maker's Diet' is truly a holistic approach to diet and lifestyle that will change your life now and forever. Phase 1 - Days 1-14 Maintain insulin levels, reduce non-disease related inflammation and bolster your immune system as you begin your journey. Establishing temporary food limitations - Phase 1 is the most restrictive, limiting disaccharide-heavy carbohydrate foods (grains, pastas, breads, sugars, etc.), resulting in a natural balancing of your body's core chemistry. Learning to choose healthier foods - A huge part of succeeding with The Maker's Diet comes from establishing and maintaining a higher standard for the quality of food choices you make. Understanding the value of Advanced Hygiene (Clenzology) - As important to overall health as diet or exercise, advanced hygiene is completely overlooked by most simple diet plans. The Prayer Factor - For greater resolve and appreciation, you can begin and end each day of your journey to optimal health with prayers of thanksgiving, healing and petition. The Purpose Factor - It's also good to set aside time each day to become centered and maintain your focus on achieving each of your health goals. As Phase 1 is focused on cleansing your body and correcting imbalances, it is essential to begin by eliminating foods or chemicals your body is addicted to. For many, these include sugars, artificial sweeteners, caffeine and preservatives. Phase 2 - Days 15-28 Establish and maintain healthy eating habits as you continue to progress toward optimal health and your ideal weight. Spanning days 15-28 of your 40-day health experience, Phase 2 continues your body's trend toward healthy weight loss and incorporates a greater variety of foods, while helping you establish the healthy eating habits that can last a lifetime. Prayer Reminder - Try to begin and end each day with prayers of thanksgiving, healing and petition. Purpose Reminder - Try to set aside time each day to reaffirm and focus on achieving each of your health goals. Foods to Enjoy or Avoid - As you progress from the most restrictive portion (Phase 1) of The Maker's Diet, into Phase 2, your food options expand considerably. You'll continue to enjoy all items allowed in Phase 1, while beginning to reintroduce some previously eliminated foods, such as increased fruits, dairy and sweet potatoes. Phase 3 - Days 29-40 and beyond Realize and sustain your complete body health and weight goals with the maintenance phase of The Maker's Diet. Even though The Maker's Diet is positioned as a 40-day journey to optimal health, we encourage you to maintain the healthy habits you have adopted. Doing so will help ensure that you sustain your achieved goals and continue to live in your ideal state of health. Prayer Reminder - Try to begin and end each day with prayers of thanksgiving, healing and petition. Purpose Reminder - Try to set aside time each day to reaffirm and focus on achieving each of your health goals. Foods to Enjoy or Avoid - As the maintenance portion of the program, Phase 3 of The Maker's Diet allows and encourages healthful, balanced eating from each of the food groups. In Phase 3, you'll reacquaint yourself with healthy grains and foods higher in sugars and starches, such as sweet potatoes. Excerpt from Jordan Rubin's The Maker's Diet - Chapter 2 - The World's Healthiest People Tilt Some Stereotypes. DO YOU WANT TO BE 'HEALTHIER' THAN YOUR NEIGHBOR?' One people group stands out among the many primitive cultures studied by anthropologists, health professionals and nutritional historians. This group carefully restricted scavengers from their diet, consumed foods rich in nutrients and lived a lifestyle that kept them free from illnesses and plagues throughout history. That group was the nation of Israel, the chosen people of God. The Israelites of antiquity followed a diet established by God, and were consistently healthier than all of their neighbors. Regardless of your religious preference, any honest student of the scriptures must admit that the wisdom of the Bible extends far beyond the spiritual issues to encompass every area of life-including dietary, hygienic, and moral guidelines. Rothschild, M.D., Ph.D., wrote an unpublished book entitled, The Art of Health. In a chapter called " Please Don't Eat the Wrapper, " he writes: It suddenly dawned on us that God, the greatest master nutritionist of all times, has given us an all-purpose diet more than 3000 years ago... There is abundant historic evidence that reveals that the average Israelite, up to the end of the 19th century, was much longer lived than the average Gentile. We wish to emphasize that we are referring to the Israelites up to the end of the last century, because up to those years, the overwhelming majority of Jews obeyed God's laws by and large. However, beginning with World War I, both diet and hygiene began to slacken among the children of Israel all over the planet, until only a small fraction remains true to Biblical tradition ...worldwide statistics bear witness to their changing eating habits. The trend of longevity is gradually vanishing among the non-observant. It appears that God indeed knew what nourishment to recommend. MODERN DIETS PRODUCE PHYSICAL DEGENERATION Dr. Weston A. Price, a Cleveland dentist, has been called the " Albert Einstein of Nutrition. " Alarmed by the number of cavities, the crooked teeth, and the deformed dental arches he saw in his young patients, Dr. Price wondered if these abnormalities were caused by nutritional deficiencies. With his wife Florence, he left his home in Ohio and embarked on a 6 year journey that took him to primitive societies on five contents. Wherever Dr. Price went, he photographed and studied the inhabitants' teeth. He made detailed notes about primitive people's diet, the state of their health, and their way of life. Dr. Price chose an opportune time to undertake his study. Dr. Price concluded that diet was the only possible factor accounting for such universal good physical health among primitive people. People who ate the modern diet suffered from physical degeneration, while those on primitive diets did not. He suggested that dietary deficiencies also contributed to poor brain development and associated social disorders such as juvenile delinquency and high crime rates. Price dared to suggest that modern humans learn from primitives (in an era when it was fashionable to disparage and sneer at primitive people groups), and strongly urged a return to the primitive diet that made our ancestors so healthy. No era in the long journey of mankind reveals in the skeletal remains such a terrible degeneration of teeth and bones as this brief modern period records. Must Nature reject our vaunted culture and call back the more obedient primitives? When Dr. Price analyzed the foods of isolated primitive peoples, he discovered that they provided at least four times the water-soluble vitamins, calcium and other minerals and at least ten times the fat-soluble vitamins such as A, E and D found in modern diets! The primitive diets derived these nutrients from animal foods such as butter, fatty fish, wild game and organ meats. The pioneering research of Dr. Price provided solid empirical evidence that the primitive peoples he studied did not suffer from obesity, heart disease, digestive problems or cancer at the rates we do. Thanks in large part to their primitive diets, these people groups enjoyed levels of vibrant health that have virtually been lost to modern civilization. PRIMITIVE DIETS NOT ALL HEALTHY However, not all primitive diets are alike. Many of the cultures surrounding the Israelites were " primitive, " but they were riddled with diseases instigated by their diets and destructive lifestyles. China allegedly possesses one of the oldest continually sustained cultures on earth. Yet many of the cultures represented in modern China eat foods far removed from biblical guidelines. A headline in the Palm Beach Post declared in bold letters, " China's taste for critters may have aided SARS, " referring to the deadly flu-like epidemic that first appeared in China. The article states: The possible origin of the SARS epidemic, which has claimed about 600 lives, infected 7,500 people and made places as diverse as China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore and Toronto no fly zones in the past two months, has been tentatively traced to civet cats, a delicacy in omnivorous southeast China. ....just as AIDS may have jumped to humans from monkeys, and the Ebola virus from rats, SARS may have found a new host in hungry human beings. According to the author of the article, civet cats are related to the mongoose. They are clearly unclean animals not meant for human consumption. I couldn't help but make a mental connection between the virtually continuous streams of " Hong Kong Flu " and " Asian Flu " to our shores from the Far East. The article's author added, " The Cantonese have a saying: `If it flies in the air and it's not an airplane, if it swims in the sea and it's not a submarine, if it has four legs and it's not a table, eat it. " ' THE CREATOR'S WISDOM Our Creator established our genetic and nutritional requirements long ago. He caused our ancestors to adapt to the types of foods they could gather, and there is no evidence to suggest that modern humans are any different. Despite our technological advancements, our physical bodies are still designed to consume and thrive on the same foods in the same proportions that our primitive ancestors ate thousands of years ago! The wisdom in our physiology and biochemistry cry out for a primitive, biblical diet with plentiful amounts of healthy meat, fish, fruit, vegetables, dairy and nuts. We have departed so far from the wisdom of our forefathers that fully 55% of the American diet is " new food " -not designed by the Creator nor eaten by our ancestors. If we ever hope to be counted among the world's healthiest people, we must leave behind our disease-producing diets and lifestyle and return to our Creator's dietary guidelines, as incorporated in the The Maker's Diet! Excerpt from Jordan Rubin's The Maker's Diet - Chapter 3 - Life and Death in a long Hollow Tube - The Importance of GI Tract A couple of years ago, while appearing on a series of television programs devoted to health issues, I took calls from a number of interested viewers. One viewer sent me a medical textbook written in 1896, which examined the problems associated with " autointoxication. " Surprisingly, autointoxication or " self-poisoning " from the bowel was a recognized cause of disease in the early 1900s. H. H. Boeker, D.C., stated in 1928, " It is now universally conceded that autointoxication is the underlying cause of an exceptionally large group of symptom complexes. " (Boeker, H.H. " Autointoxication. " Medical Journal and Record, Sept 19, 1928;128:293). Recent research seems to support these earlier conclusions about intestinal toxemia. Yet, many modern medical practitioners and researchers still dismiss intestinal toxemia as a concept that is " old and outdated. " The " gut " goes from your mouth all the way to the " other end. " It is fully self-contained, and yet intricately dependent and inter-linked with every other major system of your body. It is becoming clear that anything you consume or that otherwise exerts an influence on the body (e.g., swimming and showering in chlorinated water, swallowing fluoride toothpaste, wearing synthetic clothing, or even cleaning house with powerful chemicals)-may indirectly or directly affect your gut, and therefore, your health. In fact, virtually every state of health is affected by the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Even if you break a bone or undergo a surgical procedure, the time required to heal is directly affected by how well your gut is able to process nutrients and detoxify toxins! And even if you're the most intelligent person in the world, if you fail to fuel your body properly, your brilliant intellect may be dimmed or extinguished through poor nutrition and poor lifestyle decisions. CARING FOR YOUR COLON The colon is the number one repository for oxidative stress in the body. We hear a great deal in the media about antioxidants and the danger of free radicals, but very few of us realize most of the free radicals or oxidative damage is generated in the colon during the final stages of the digestion process! This explains why it is good to eliminate waste daily, rather than have it languish for days in the digestive tract, generating potentially harmful toxins all the while. Excerpt from Jordan Rubin's The Maker's Diet - Chapter 4 - Hygiene: The Double-edged Sword An obscure race of people, attempting to cross the Sinai Peninsula about 3,500 years ago, received a highly advanced system of disease prevention and medical hygiene. The people followed these instructions and somehow escaped the communicable diseases and social ills that devastated other civilizations over the millennia, as they were promised: If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God ...I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee. -Exodus 15:26 What was their secret? It sure wasn't the prevailing wisdom of the times. Moses, their leader, who received the dietary and hygiene system from God, had been trained as a prince of Egypt in the most " advanced " medical system of his era. Yet, Moses did not advocate to Israel the sure-fire Egyptian prescription for avoiding epidemics. They did not embrace Egypt's " two vulture feathers " and the promise from a god named " Flame-in his-face " to save them " from every sickness. " History records that the Egyptians treated pinkeye with " the urine of a faithful wife, " and favored other treatments such as the " blood of a worm " and a healthy plaster of the latest manure concoction! Forensic examinations of mummified Egyptians indicate the upper class Egyptians didn't receive much benefit from the best that Egyptian physicians had to offer. They suffered from many of the same diseases that afflict us today (they had a taste for unhealthy foods and a blatant disregard for hygiene). THE PRACTICE OF ADVANCED HYGIENE In contrast, the Israelites followed advanced hygienic practices according to the divine instructions given to Moses. And they enjoyed an extraordinary resistance to sickness and disease. God's hygiene system is remarkably up to date. In fact, modern hospitals everywhere follow nearly every one of the original guidelines God laid out in the Bible. For example, the biblical hygiene regimen recorded in Numbers 19:12-22 required strict separation of the corpses of the dead from the living. When a person died, those present and anyone who prepared the body for burial (mandated before sundown) were considered unclean for seven days. Those individuals were to wash their hands, clothing and utensils with running water, extensive scrubbing and a mild astringent. The water was treated with ashes-a key component of soap for millennia-and administered with hyssop, which contained the antiseptic, thymol (the active ingredient in Listerine brand mouthwash). This biblical hygiene system also required that hands be washed before meals and at other key times to ensure cleanliness. The Bible also prescribes specific techniques for purifying clothing and key instruments or utensils, along with the safe disposal of human waste, proper burial methods, childbirth procedures, sexual hygiene, feminine hygienic guidelines (for the menses) and more. Leviticus chapter 13 provides detailed instructions for the diagnosis of the disease called leprosy, with strict guidelines for the purification of fabrics contaminated by the disease. It also called for the quarantine of people with any highly infectious disease. THE PURPOSE OF ADVANCED HYGIENE Proper hygiene is as essential to optimum health as diet and exercise. You can significantly reduce infections, allergy attacks and other negative health conditions by cleansing your body of toxins, pollutants, disease-causing germs and allergens. The direct relationship between good health and good hygiene has long been established. In fact, the first cure for cancer was based in proper hygiene. In the 18th century, London's chimney sweeps had an extraordinarily high rate of scrotal cancer until it was learned that those who regularly washed away the carcinogenic soot on their skin did not contract the disease! PIONEERING MODERN HYGIENE One hundred years later, hundreds of thousands of European women were dying of childbirth fever until a Viennese obstetrician named Dr. Semmelweis rediscovered biblical hygiene. His medical students routinely dissected cadavers barehanded in one room and then walked into the next to perform pelvic examinations or help deliver babies-without washing their hands! Death rates often approached the 50 percent mark. Dr. Semmelweis went against the grain of established medical practice and asked every doctor and medical student to wash their hands between deliveries (and autopsies). When they did, the death rate dropped by 90 percent! However, Dr. Semmelweis was ridiculed for his hygienic practice, and his staff insisted on going back to the old way! Even as late as World War 11, it is estimated that poor hygiene caused three times more deaths than battlefield wounds. GERMS DON'T FLY - THEY HITCHHIKE We've come a long way since then. We now know that the body's immune system is an autonomic or " automatic " function. The body reacts automatically when it senses an invasion by the disease-causing bacteria, fungi, viruses and allergens that surround us in our homes, job sites or backyards. Normally, the human immune system effectively fights off these diseases, but it easily becomes overloaded in today's toxic world. To make matters worse, our trams-global travel rapidly transports new diseases around the world in a day! We also understand that germs don't fly-they hitchhike. Germs generally travel via hand-to-hand contact or hand-to-surface-to-hand transfer. Your hands come into contact with the chief agents of infection on hundreds of surfaces daily, including other hands (and whatever they have touched). More than 90 percent of the germs on your hands reside under your fingernails. The same is true for allergens and environmental contaminants. Unfortunately, it is difficult to reach this area with normal hand washing techniques. And these germs easily enter the body through the nasal passageway or the tear ducts of the eyes when we touch them-which occurs at least twenty times a day. Typically, your fingertips come in contact with your eyes and nose more than 12,500 times each year. Each time there is the potential of auto-inoculating yourself with germs, allergens, environmental toxins and viruses. Autoinoculation of the eyes and nose from contaminated fingertips is particularly dangerous because the eyes and nose provide a direct pathway to the upper respiratory tract. (Some diseases enter the body through the mouth, but fluids in the mouth and stomach combat pathogens very effectively.) Upper respiratory problems, including sinus problems, account for 8 of every 10 visits to doctors' offices. The average adult battles four colds per year (six colds annually for children) and nearly 1 in 3 people have allergies. As with most instinctive human behavior, autoinoculation also serves an important positive purpose. When a baby first touches its fingertips to its eyes and nose, it introduces its immune system to the outside world, triggering the production of key antibodies to protect it from infection and preserve health. This natural process continues throughout life, keeping the immune system " attuned " to changes in the outside world. REDUCING STRESS ON YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM The good news is that the potentially deadly autoinoculation process is entirely avoidable. Several years ago, I found a modern hygiene system called the Advanced Hygiene system, which is scientifically designed to remove the overload from the immune system. This program of advanced hygiene represents the first real advancement in how we wash since the bar of soap was invented about 150 years ago, allowing the body to more effectively defend and protect itself against invasion from diseases. It addresses the proper cleansing of the areas under the fingernails and the membranes around the eyes and nose. These staging areas for germs are virtually neglected by other popular hygiene methods. The Advanced Hygiene system preserves the balance between the proper function of autoinoculation in building the body's natural defense capabilities, and its negative role in promoting infection by mass contamination through the eyes and nose. Careful cleaning under the fingernails and the membranes around the eyes and nose through Advanced Hygiene techniques reduces stress on the immune system and helps reduce the occurrence of infectious disease and allergies. Once the overload is removed from the immune system, it can devote energy to eliminating other infections that are present in the body, such as lingering bronchitis or sinusitis. I have personally been using this simple hygiene program faithfully morning and evening for several years and it has kept me virtually free from all respiratory illness and sinus infections. With my frequent North American and international travel, it is comforting to know that I am providing myself a daily measure of protection. DETERRING ALLERGIES The Advanced Hygiene techniques thoroughly cleanse or wash away contaminants, but they do not sterilize the fingernail beds and body membranes around the eyes and nasal passages. Sterilization using anti-microbial substances does more harm than good, preventing the immune system from adapting to the outside environment; this is especially important where allergies are concerned. More than 50 million people suffer from allergies, and the suffering continues even though many have visited allergists, taken tests, tried shots and ingested recommended drugs. Allergies are caused by mistaken immune system responses to harmless substances such as pollen, cat hair or dust mites. These responses produce defensive immune symptoms such as runny noses and watering eyes. The allergy industry treats allergies through the exclusive use of drugs that either desensitize the immune system toward potential allergens or suppress its natural response system altogether. Most of these drugs have multiple side effects and are only marginally effective. While we can't ignore the suffering, we can take a more simple commonsense approach to the problem. The concepts of advanced hygiene offer better cleansing techniques that will keep most of the offending substances away from your body (and may even avoid triggering an immune system response altogether). I am astounded that this simple approach of keeping allergens away from the body is not more prevalent. It is the failure of traditional pharmaceutical allergy treatments (pills, sprays, and injected drugs) to genuinely relieve allergy symptoms that has triggered the resurging interest in alternative methods of treatment. If you or your family suffers from frequent colds and flu, nagging allergies, upper respiratory problems, weakened immunity or other chronic health problems, I urge you to try the age old proven method of advanced hygiene.

The Maker's Diet starts where other diets end, giving readers a roadmap that leads them on the path to lifelong wellness. 'The Maker's Diet' is truly a holistic approach to diet and lifestyle that will change your life now and forever. Phase 1 - Days 1-14 Maintain insulin levels, reduce non-disease related inflammation and bolster your immune system as you begin your journey. Establishing temporary food limitations - Phase 1 is the most restrictive, limiting disaccharide-heavy carbohydrate foods (grains, pastas, breads, sugars, etc.), resulting in a natural balancing of your body's core chemistry. Learning to choose healthier foods - A huge part of succeeding with The Maker's Diet comes from establishing and maintaining a higher standard for the quality of food choices you make. Understanding the value of Advanced Hygiene (Clenzology) - As important to overall health as diet or exercise, advanced hygiene is completely overlooked by most simple diet plans. The Prayer Factor - For greater resolve and appreciation, you can begin and end each day of your journey to optimal health with prayers of thanksgiving, healing and petition. The Purpose Factor - It's also good to set aside time each day to become centered and maintain your focus on achieving each of your health goals. As Phase 1 is focused on cleansing your body and correcting imbalances, it is essential to begin by eliminating foods or chemicals your body is addicted to. For many, these include sugars, artificial sweeteners, caffeine and preservatives. Phase 2 - Days 15-28 Establish and maintain healthy eating habits as you continue to progress toward optimal health and your ideal weight. Spanning days 15-28 of your 40-day health experience, Phase 2 continues your body's trend toward healthy weight loss and incorporates a greater variety of foods, while helping you establish the healthy eating habits that can last a lifetime. Prayer Reminder - Try to begin and end each day with prayers of thanksgiving, healing and petition. Purpose Reminder - Try to set aside time each day to reaffirm and focus on achieving each of your health goals. Foods to Enjoy or Avoid - As you progress from the most restrictive portion (Phase 1) of The Maker's Diet, into Phase 2, your food options expand considerably. You'll continue to enjoy all items allowed in Phase 1, while beginning to reintroduce some previously eliminated foods, such as increased fruits, dairy and sweet potatoes. Phase 3 - Days 29-40 and beyond Realize and sustain your complete body health and weight goals with the maintenance phase of The Maker's Diet. Even though The Maker's Diet is positioned as a 40-day journey to optimal health, we encourage you to maintain the healthy habits you have adopted. Doing so will help ensure that you sustain your achieved goals and continue to live in your ideal state of health. Prayer Reminder - Try to begin and end each day with prayers of thanksgiving, healing and petition. Purpose Reminder - Try to set aside time each day to reaffirm and focus on achieving each of your health goals. Foods to Enjoy or Avoid - As the maintenance portion of the program, Phase 3 of The Maker's Diet allows and encourages healthful, balanced eating from each of the food groups. In Phase 3, you'll reacquaint yourself with healthy grains and foods higher in sugars and starches, such as sweet potatoes. Excerpt from Jordan Rubin's The Maker's Diet - Chapter 2 - The World's Healthiest People Tilt Some Stereotypes. DO YOU WANT TO BE 'HEALTHIER' THAN YOUR NEIGHBOR?' One people group stands out among the many primitive cultures studied by anthropologists, health professionals and nutritional historians. This group carefully restricted scavengers from their diet, consumed foods rich in nutrients and lived a lifestyle that kept them free from illnesses and plagues throughout history. That group was the nation of Israel, the chosen people of God. The Israelites of antiquity followed a diet established by God, and were consistently healthier than all of their neighbors. Regardless of your religious preference, any honest student of the scriptures must admit that the wisdom of the Bible extends far beyond the spiritual issues to encompass every area of life-including dietary, hygienic, and moral guidelines. Rothschild, M.D., Ph.D., wrote an unpublished book entitled, The Art of Health. In a chapter called " Please Don't Eat the Wrapper, " he writes: It suddenly dawned on us that God, the greatest master nutritionist of all times, has given us an all-purpose diet more than 3000 years ago... There is abundant historic evidence that reveals that the average Israelite, up to the end of the 19th century, was much longer lived than the average Gentile. We wish to emphasize that we are referring to the Israelites up to the end of the last century, because up to those years, the overwhelming majority of Jews obeyed God's laws by and large. However, beginning with World War I, both diet and hygiene began to slacken among the children of Israel all over the planet, until only a small fraction remains true to Biblical tradition ...worldwide statistics bear witness to their changing eating habits. The trend of longevity is gradually vanishing among the non-observant. It appears that God indeed knew what nourishment to recommend. MODERN DIETS PRODUCE PHYSICAL DEGENERATION Dr. Weston A. Price, a Cleveland dentist, has been called the " Albert Einstein of Nutrition. " Alarmed by the number of cavities, the crooked teeth, and the deformed dental arches he saw in his young patients, Dr. Price wondered if these abnormalities were caused by nutritional deficiencies. With his wife Florence, he left his home in Ohio and embarked on a 6 year journey that took him to primitive societies on five contents. Wherever Dr. Price went, he photographed and studied the inhabitants' teeth. He made detailed notes about primitive people's diet, the state of their health, and their way of life. Dr. Price chose an opportune time to undertake his study. Dr. Price concluded that diet was the only possible factor accounting for such universal good physical health among primitive people. People who ate the modern diet suffered from physical degeneration, while those on primitive diets did not. He suggested that dietary deficiencies also contributed to poor brain development and associated social disorders such as juvenile delinquency and high crime rates. Price dared to suggest that modern humans learn from primitives (in an era when it was fashionable to disparage and sneer at primitive people groups), and strongly urged a return to the primitive diet that made our ancestors so healthy. No era in the long journey of mankind reveals in the skeletal remains such a terrible degeneration of teeth and bones as this brief modern period records. Must Nature reject our vaunted culture and call back the more obedient primitives? When Dr. Price analyzed the foods of isolated primitive peoples, he discovered that they provided at least four times the water-soluble vitamins, calcium and other minerals and at least ten times the fat-soluble vitamins such as A, E and D found in modern diets! The primitive diets derived these nutrients from animal foods such as butter, fatty fish, wild game and organ meats. The pioneering research of Dr. Price provided solid empirical evidence that the primitive peoples he studied did not suffer from obesity, heart disease, digestive problems or cancer at the rates we do. Thanks in large part to their primitive diets, these people groups enjoyed levels of vibrant health that have virtually been lost to modern civilization. PRIMITIVE DIETS NOT ALL HEALTHY However, not all primitive diets are alike. Many of the cultures surrounding the Israelites were " primitive, " but they were riddled with diseases instigated by their diets and destructive lifestyles. China allegedly possesses one of the oldest continually sustained cultures on earth. Yet many of the cultures represented in modern China eat foods far removed from biblical guidelines. A headline in the Palm Beach Post declared in bold letters, " China's taste for critters may have aided SARS, " referring to the deadly flu-like epidemic that first appeared in China. The article states: The possible origin of the SARS epidemic, which has claimed about 600 lives, infected 7,500 people and made places as diverse as China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore and Toronto no fly zones in the past two months, has been tentatively traced to civet cats, a delicacy in omnivorous southeast China. ....just as AIDS may have jumped to humans from monkeys, and the Ebola virus from rats, SARS may have found a new host in hungry human beings. According to the author of the article, civet cats are related to the mongoose. They are clearly unclean animals not meant for human consumption. I couldn't help but make a mental connection between the virtually continuous streams of " Hong Kong Flu " and " Asian Flu " to our shores from the Far East. The article's author added, " The Cantonese have a saying: `If it flies in the air and it's not an airplane, if it swims in the sea and it's not a submarine, if it has four legs and it's not a table, eat it. " ' THE CREATOR'S WISDOM Our Creator established our genetic and nutritional requirements long ago. He caused our ancestors to adapt to the types of foods they could gather, and there is no evidence to suggest that modern humans are any different. Despite our technological advancements, our physical bodies are still designed to consume and thrive on the same foods in the same proportions that our primitive ancestors ate thousands of years ago! The wisdom in our physiology and biochemistry cry out for a primitive, biblical diet with plentiful amounts of healthy meat, fish, fruit, vegetables, dairy and nuts. We have departed so far from the wisdom of our forefathers that fully 55% of the American diet is " new food " -not designed by the Creator nor eaten by our ancestors. If we ever hope to be counted among the world's healthiest people, we must leave behind our disease-producing diets and lifestyle and return to our Creator's dietary guidelines, as incorporated in the The Maker's Diet! Excerpt from Jordan Rubin's The Maker's Diet - Chapter 3 - Life and Death in a long Hollow Tube - The Importance of GI Tract A couple of years ago, while appearing on a series of television programs devoted to health issues, I took calls from a number of interested viewers. One viewer sent me a medical textbook written in 1896, which examined the problems associated with " autointoxication. " Surprisingly, autointoxication or " self-poisoning " from the bowel was a recognized cause of disease in the early 1900s. H. H. Boeker, D.C., stated in 1928, " It is now universally conceded that autointoxication is the underlying cause of an exceptionally large group of symptom complexes. " (Boeker, H.H. " Autointoxication. " Medical Journal and Record, Sept 19, 1928;128:293). Recent research seems to support these earlier conclusions about intestinal toxemia. Yet, many modern medical practitioners and researchers still dismiss intestinal toxemia as a concept that is " old and outdated. " The " gut " goes from your mouth all the way to the " other end. " It is fully self-contained, and yet intricately dependent and inter-linked with every other major system of your body. It is becoming clear that anything you consume or that otherwise exerts an influence on the body (e.g., swimming and showering in chlorinated water, swallowing fluoride toothpaste, wearing synthetic clothing, or even cleaning house with powerful chemicals)-may indirectly or directly affect your gut, and therefore, your health. In fact, virtually every state of health is affected by the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Even if you break a bone or undergo a surgical procedure, the time required to heal is directly affected by how well your gut is able to process nutrients and detoxify toxins! And even if you're the most intelligent person in the world, if you fail to fuel your body properly, your brilliant intellect may be dimmed or extinguished through poor nutrition and poor lifestyle decisions. CARING FOR YOUR COLON The colon is the number one repository for oxidative stress in the body. We hear a great deal in the media about antioxidants and the danger of free radicals, but very few of us realize most of the free radicals or oxidative damage is generated in the colon during the final stages of the digestion process! This explains why it is good to eliminate waste daily, rather than have it languish for days in the digestive tract, generating potentially harmful toxins all the while. Excerpt from Jordan Rubin's The Maker's Diet - Chapter 4 - Hygiene: The Double-edged Sword An obscure race of people, attempting to cross the Sinai Peninsula about 3,500 years ago, received a highly advanced system of disease prevention and medical hygiene. The people followed these instructions and somehow escaped the communicable diseases and social ills that devastated other civilizations over the millennia, as they were promised: If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God ...I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee. -Exodus 15:26 What was their secret? It sure wasn't the prevailing wisdom of the times. Moses, their leader, who received the dietary and hygiene system from God, had been trained as a prince of Egypt in the most " advanced " medical system of his era. Yet, Moses did not advocate to Israel the sure-fire Egyptian prescription for avoiding epidemics. They did not embrace Egypt's " two vulture feathers " and the promise from a god named " Flame-in his-face " to save them " from every sickness. " History records that the Egyptians treated pinkeye with " the urine of a faithful wife, " and favored other treatments such as the " blood of a worm " and a healthy plaster of the latest manure concoction! Forensic examinations of mummified Egyptians indicate the upper class Egyptians didn't receive much benefit from the best that Egyptian physicians had to offer. They suffered from many of the same diseases that afflict us today (they had a taste for unhealthy foods and a blatant disregard for hygiene). THE PRACTICE OF ADVANCED HYGIENE In contrast, the Israelites followed advanced hygienic practices according to the divine instructions given to Moses. And they enjoyed an extraordinary resistance to sickness and disease. God's hygiene system is remarkably up to date. In fact, modern hospitals everywhere follow nearly every one of the original guidelines God laid out in the Bible. For example, the biblical hygiene regimen recorded in Numbers 19:12-22 required strict separation of the corpses of the dead from the living. When a person died, those present and anyone who prepared the body for burial (mandated before sundown) were considered unclean for seven days. Those individuals were to wash their hands, clothing and utensils with running water, extensive scrubbing and a mild astringent. The water was treated with ashes-a key component of soap for millennia-and administered with hyssop, which contained the antiseptic, thymol (the active ingredient in Listerine brand mouthwash). This biblical hygiene system also required that hands be washed before meals and at other key times to ensure cleanliness. The Bible also prescribes specific techniques for purifying clothing and key instruments or utensils, along with the safe disposal of human waste, proper burial methods, childbirth procedures, sexual hygiene, feminine hygienic guidelines (for the menses) and more. Leviticus chapter 13 provides detailed instructions for the diagnosis of the disease called leprosy, with strict guidelines for the purification of fabrics contaminated by the disease. It also called for the quarantine of people with any highly infectious disease. THE PURPOSE OF ADVANCED HYGIENE Proper hygiene is as essential to optimum health as diet and exercise. You can significantly reduce infections, allergy attacks and other negative health conditions by cleansing your body of toxins, pollutants, disease-causing germs and allergens. The direct relationship between good health and good hygiene has long been established. In fact, the first cure for cancer was based in proper hygiene. In the 18th century, London's chimney sweeps had an extraordinarily high rate of scrotal cancer until it was learned that those who regularly washed away the carcinogenic soot on their skin did not contract the disease! PIONEERING MODERN HYGIENE One hundred years later, hundreds of thousands of European women were dying of childbirth fever until a Viennese obstetrician named Dr. Semmelweis rediscovered biblical hygiene. His medical students routinely dissected cadavers barehanded in one room and then walked into the next to perform pelvic examinations or help deliver babies-without washing their hands! Death rates often approached the 50 percent mark. Dr. Semmelweis went against the grain of established medical practice and asked every doctor and medical student to wash their hands between deliveries (and autopsies). When they did, the death rate dropped by 90 percent! However, Dr. Semmelweis was ridiculed for his hygienic practice, and his staff insisted on going back to the old way! Even as late as World War 11, it is estimated that poor hygiene caused three times more deaths than battlefield wounds. GERMS DON'T FLY - THEY HITCHHIKE We've come a long way since then. We now know that the body's immune system is an autonomic or " automatic " function. The body reacts automatically when it senses an invasion by the disease-causing bacteria, fungi, viruses and allergens that surround us in our homes, job sites or backyards. Normally, the human immune system effectively fights off these diseases, but it easily becomes overloaded in today's toxic world. To make matters worse, our trams-global travel rapidly transports new diseases around the world in a day! We also understand that germs don't fly-they hitchhike. Germs generally travel via hand-to-hand contact or hand-to-surface-to-hand transfer. Your hands come into contact with the chief agents of infection on hundreds of surfaces daily, including other hands (and whatever they have touched). More than 90 percent of the germs on your hands reside under your fingernails. The same is true for allergens and environmental contaminants. Unfortunately, it is difficult to reach this area with normal hand washing techniques. And these germs easily enter the body through the nasal passageway or the tear ducts of the eyes when we touch them-which occurs at least twenty times a day. Typically, your fingertips come in contact with your eyes and nose more than 12,500 times each year. Each time there is the potential of auto-inoculating yourself with germs, allergens, environmental toxins and viruses. Autoinoculation of the eyes and nose from contaminated fingertips is particularly dangerous because the eyes and nose provide a direct pathway to the upper respiratory tract. (Some diseases enter the body through the mouth, but fluids in the mouth and stomach combat pathogens very effectively.) Upper respiratory problems, including sinus problems, account for 8 of every 10 visits to doctors' offices. The average adult battles four colds per year (six colds annually for children) and nearly 1 in 3 people have allergies. As with most instinctive human behavior, autoinoculation also serves an important positive purpose. When a baby first touches its fingertips to its eyes and nose, it introduces its immune system to the outside world, triggering the production of key antibodies to protect it from infection and preserve health. This natural process continues throughout life, keeping the immune system " attuned " to changes in the outside world. REDUCING STRESS ON YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM The good news is that the potentially deadly autoinoculation process is entirely avoidable. Several years ago, I found a modern hygiene system called the Advanced Hygiene system, which is scientifically designed to remove the overload from the immune system. This program of advanced hygiene represents the first real advancement in how we wash since the bar of soap was invented about 150 years ago, allowing the body to more effectively defend and protect itself against invasion from diseases. It addresses the proper cleansing of the areas under the fingernails and the membranes around the eyes and nose. These staging areas for germs are virtually neglected by other popular hygiene methods. The Advanced Hygiene system preserves the balance between the proper function of autoinoculation in building the body's natural defense capabilities, and its negative role in promoting infection by mass contamination through the eyes and nose. Careful cleaning under the fingernails and the membranes around the eyes and nose through Advanced Hygiene techniques reduces stress on the immune system and helps reduce the occurrence of infectious disease and allergies. Once the overload is removed from the immune system, it can devote energy to eliminating other infections that are present in the body, such as lingering bronchitis or sinusitis. I have personally been using this simple hygiene program faithfully morning and evening for several years and it has kept me virtually free from all respiratory illness and sinus infections. With my frequent North American and international travel, it is comforting to know that I am providing myself a daily measure of protection. DETERRING ALLERGIES The Advanced Hygiene techniques thoroughly cleanse or wash away contaminants, but they do not sterilize the fingernail beds and body membranes around the eyes and nasal passages. Sterilization using anti-microbial substances does more harm than good, preventing the immune system from adapting to the outside environment; this is especially important where allergies are concerned. More than 50 million people suffer from allergies, and the suffering continues even though many have visited allergists, taken tests, tried shots and ingested recommended drugs.

These responses produce defensive immune symptoms such as runny noses and watering eyes. The allergy industry treats allergies through the exclusive use of drugs that either desensitize the immune system toward potential allergens or suppress its natural response system altogether. Most of these drugs have multiple side effects and are only marginally effective. While we can't ignore the suffering, we can take a more simple commonsense approach to the problem. The concepts of advanced hygiene offer better cleansing techniques that will keep most of the offending substances away from your body (and may even avoid triggering an immune system response altogether). I am astounded that this simple approach of keeping allergens away from the body is not more prevalent. It is the failure of traditional pharmaceutical allergy treatments (pills, sprays, and injected drugs) to genuinely relieve allergy symptoms that has triggered the resurging interest in alternative methods of treatment. If you or your family suffers from frequent colds and flu, nagging allergies, upper respiratory problems, weakened immunity or other chronic health problems, I urge you to try the age old proven method of advanced hygiene.

The Maker's Diet starts where other diets end, giving readers a roadmap that leads them on the path to lifelong wellness. 'The Maker's Diet' is truly a holistic approach to diet and lifestyle that will change your life now and forever. Phase 1 - Days 1-14 Maintain insulin levels, reduce non-disease related inflammation and bolster your immune system as you begin your journey. Establishing temporary food limitations - Phase 1 is the most restrictive, limiting disaccharide-heavy carbohydrate foods (grains, pastas, breads, sugars, etc.), resulting in a natural balancing of your body's core chemistry. Learning to choose healthier foods - A huge part of succeeding with The Maker's Diet comes from establishing and maintaining a higher standard for the quality of food choices you make. Understanding the value of Advanced Hygiene (Clenzology) - As important to overall health as diet or exercise, advanced hygiene is completely overlooked by most simple diet plans. The Prayer Factor - For greater resolve and appreciation, you can begin and end each day of your journey to optimal health with prayers of thanksgiving, healing and petition. The Purpose Factor - It's also good to set aside time each day to become centered and maintain your focus on achieving each of your health goals. As Phase 1 is focused on cleansing your body and correcting imbalances, it is essential to begin by eliminating foods or chemicals your body is addicted to. For many, these include sugars, artificial sweeteners, caffeine and preservatives. Phase 2 - Days 15-28 Establish and maintain healthy eating habits as you continue to progress toward optimal health and your ideal weight. Spanning days 15-28 of your 40-day health experience, Phase 2 continues your body's trend toward healthy weight loss and incorporates a greater variety of foods, while helping you establish the healthy eating habits that can last a lifetime. Prayer Reminder - Try to begin and end each day with prayers of thanksgiving, healing and petition. Purpose Reminder - Try to set aside time each day to reaffirm and focus on achieving each of your health goals. Foods to Enjoy or Avoid - As you progress from the most restrictive portion (Phase 1) of The Maker's Diet, into Phase 2, your food options expand considerably. You'll continue to enjoy all items allowed in Phase 1, while beginning to reintroduce some previously eliminated foods, such as increased fruits, dairy and sweet potatoes. Phase 3 - Days 29-40 and beyond Realize and sustain your complete body health and weight goals with the maintenance phase of The Maker's Diet. Even though The Maker's Diet is positioned as a 40-day journey to optimal health, we encourage you to maintain the healthy habits you have adopted. Doing so will help ensure that you sustain your achieved goals and continue to live in your ideal state of health. Prayer Reminder - Try to begin and end each day with prayers of thanksgiving, healing and petition. Purpose Reminder - Try to set aside time each day to reaffirm and focus on achieving each of your health goals. Foods to Enjoy or Avoid - As the maintenance portion of the program, Phase 3 of The Maker's Diet allows and encourages healthful, balanced eating from each of the food groups. In Phase 3, you'll reacquaint yourself with healthy grains and foods higher in sugars and starches, such as sweet potatoes. Excerpt from Jordan Rubin's The Maker's Diet - Chapter 2 - The World's Healthiest People Tilt Some Stereotypes. DO YOU WANT TO BE 'HEALTHIER' THAN YOUR NEIGHBOR?' One people group stands out among the many primitive cultures studied by anthropologists, health professionals and nutritional historians. This group carefully restricted scavengers from their diet, consumed foods rich in nutrients and lived a lifestyle that kept them free from illnesses and plagues throughout history. That group was the nation of Israel, the chosen people of God. The Israelites of antiquity followed a diet established by God, and were consistently healthier than all of their neighbors. Regardless of your religious preference, any honest student of the scriptures must admit that the wisdom of the Bible extends far beyond the spiritual issues to encompass every area of life-including dietary, hygienic, and moral guidelines. Rothschild, M.D., Ph.D., wrote an unpublished book entitled, The Art of Health. In a chapter called " Please Don't Eat the Wrapper, " he writes: It suddenly dawned on us that God, the greatest master nutritionist of all times, has given us an all-purpose diet more than 3000 years ago... There is abundant historic evidence that reveals that the average Israelite, up to the end of the 19th century, was much longer lived than the average Gentile. We wish to emphasize that we are referring to the Israelites up to the end of the last century, because up to those years, the overwhelming majority of Jews obeyed God's laws by and large. However, beginning with World War I, both diet and hygiene began to slacken among the children of Israel all over the planet, until only a small fraction remains true to Biblical tradition ...worldwide statistics bear witness to their changing eating habits. The trend of longevity is gradually vanishing among the non-observant. It appears that God indeed knew what nourishment to recommend. MODERN DIETS PRODUCE PHYSICAL DEGENERATION Dr. Weston A. Price, a Cleveland dentist, has been called the " Albert Einstein of Nutrition. " Alarmed by the number of cavities, the crooked teeth, and the deformed dental arches he saw in his young patients, Dr. Price wondered if these abnormalities were caused by nutritional deficiencies. With his wife Florence, he left his home in Ohio and embarked on a 6 year journey that took him to primitive societies on five contents. Wherever Dr. Price went, he photographed and studied the inhabitants' teeth. He made detailed notes about primitive people's diet, the state of their health, and their way of life. Dr. Price chose an opportune time to undertake his study. Dr. Price concluded that diet was the only possible factor accounting for such universal good physical health among primitive people. People who ate the modern diet suffered from physical degeneration, while those on primitive diets did not. He suggested that dietary deficiencies also contributed to poor brain development and associated social disorders such as juvenile delinquency and high crime rates. Price dared to suggest that modern humans learn from primitives (in an era when it was fashionable to disparage and sneer at primitive people groups), and strongly urged a return to the primitive diet that made our ancestors so healthy. No era in the long journey of mankind reveals in the skeletal remains such a terrible degeneration of teeth and bones as this brief modern period records. Must Nature reject our vaunted culture and call back the more obedient primitives? When Dr. Price analyzed the foods of isolated primitive peoples, he discovered that they provided at least four times the water-soluble vitamins, calcium and other minerals and at least ten times the fat-soluble vitamins such as A, E and D found in modern diets! The primitive diets derived these nutrients from animal foods such as butter, fatty fish, wild game and organ meats. The pioneering research of Dr. Price provided solid empirical evidence that the primitive peoples he studied did not suffer from obesity, heart disease, digestive problems or cancer at the rates we do. Thanks in large part to their primitive diets, these people groups enjoyed levels of vibrant health that have virtually been lost to modern civilization. PRIMITIVE DIETS NOT ALL HEALTHY However, not all primitive diets are alike. Many of the cultures surrounding the Israelites were " primitive, " but they were riddled with diseases instigated by their diets and destructive lifestyles. China allegedly possesses one of the oldest continually sustained cultures on earth. Yet many of the cultures represented in modern China eat foods far removed from biblical guidelines. A headline in the Palm Beach Post declared in bold letters, " China's taste for critters may have aided SARS, " referring to the deadly flu-like epidemic that first appeared in China. The article states: The possible origin of the SARS epidemic, which has claimed about 600 lives, infected 7,500 people and made places as diverse as China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore and Toronto no fly zones in the past two months, has been tentatively traced to civet cats, a delicacy in omnivorous southeast China. ....just as AIDS may have jumped to humans from monkeys, and the Ebola virus from rats, SARS may have found a new host in hungry human beings. According to the author of the article, civet cats are related to the mongoose. They are clearly unclean animals not meant for human consumption. I couldn't help but make a mental connection between the virtually continuous streams of " Hong Kong Flu " and " Asian Flu " to our shores from the Far East. The article's author added, " The Cantonese have a saying: `If it flies in the air and it's not an airplane, if it swims in the sea and it's not a submarine, if it has four legs and it's not a table, eat it. " ' THE CREATOR'S WISDOM Our Creator established our genetic and nutritional requirements long ago. He caused our ancestors to adapt to the types of foods they could gather, and there is no evidence to suggest that modern humans are any different. Despite our technological advancements, our physical bodies are still designed to consume and thrive on the same foods in the same proportions that our primitive ancestors ate thousands of years ago! The wisdom in our physiology and biochemistry cry out for a primitive, biblical diet with plentiful amounts of healthy meat, fish, fruit, vegetables, dairy and nuts. We have departed so far from the wisdom of our forefathers that fully 55% of the American diet is " new food " -not designed by the Creator nor eaten by our ancestors. If we ever hope to be counted among the world's healthiest people, we must leave behind our disease-producing diets and lifestyle and return to our Creator's dietary guidelines, as incorporated in the The Maker's Diet! Excerpt from Jordan Rubin's The Maker's Diet - Chapter 3 - Life and Death in a long Hollow Tube - The Importance of GI Tract A couple of years ago, while appearing on a series of television programs devoted to health issues, I took calls from a number of interested viewers. One viewer sent me a medical textbook written in 1896, which examined the problems associated with " autointoxication. " Surprisingly, autointoxication or " self-poisoning " from the bowel was a recognized cause of disease in the early 1900s. H. H. Boeker, D.C., stated in 1928, " It is now universally conceded that autointoxication is the underlying cause of an exceptionally large group of symptom complexes. " (Boeker, H.H. " Autointoxication. " Medical Journal and Record, Sept 19, 1928;128:293). Recent research seems to support these earlier conclusions about intestinal toxemia. Yet, many modern medical practitioners and researchers still dismiss intestinal toxemia as a concept that is " old and outdated. " The " gut " goes from your mouth all the way to the " other end. " It is fully self-contained, and yet intricately dependent and inter-linked with every other major system of your body. It is becoming clear that anything you consume or that otherwise exerts an influence on the body (e.g., swimming and showering in chlorinated water, swallowing fluoride toothpaste, wearing synthetic clothing, or even cleaning house with powerful chemicals)-may indirectly or directly affect your gut, and therefore, your health. In fact, virtually every state of health is affected by the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Even if you break a bone or undergo a surgical procedure, the time required to heal is directly affected by how well your gut is able to process nutrients and detoxify toxins! And even if you're the most intelligent person in the world, if you fail to fuel your body properly, your brilliant intellect may be dimmed or extinguished through poor nutrition and poor lifestyle decisions. CARING FOR YOUR COLON The colon is the number one repository for oxidative stress in the body. We hear a great deal in the media about antioxidants and the danger of free radicals, but very few of us realize most of the free radicals or oxidative damage is generated in the colon during the final stages of the digestion process! This explains why it is good to eliminate waste daily, rather than have it languish for days in the digestive tract, generating potentially harmful toxins all the while. Excerpt from Jordan Rubin's The Maker's Diet - Chapter 4 - Hygiene: The Double-edged Sword An obscure race of people, attempting to cross the Sinai Peninsula about 3,500 years ago, received a highly advanced system of disease prevention and medical hygiene. The people followed these instructions and somehow escaped the communicable diseases and social ills that devastated other civilizations over the millennia, as they were promised: If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God ...I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee. -Exodus 15:26 What was their secret? It sure wasn't the prevailing wisdom of the times. Moses, their leader, who received the dietary and hygiene system from God, had been trained as a prince of Egypt in the most " advanced " medical system of his era. Yet, Moses did not advocate to Israel the sure-fire Egyptian prescription for avoiding epidemics. They did not embrace Egypt's " two vulture feathers " and the promise from a god named " Flame-in his-face " to save them " from every sickness. " History records that the Egyptians treated pinkeye with " the urine of a faithful wife, " and favored other treatments such as the " blood of a worm " and a healthy plaster of the latest manure concoction! Forensic examinations of mummified Egyptians indicate the upper class Egyptians didn't receive much benefit from the best that Egyptian physicians had to offer. They suffered from many of the same diseases that afflict us today (they had a taste for unhealthy foods and a blatant disregard for hygiene). THE PRACTICE OF ADVANCED HYGIENE In contrast, the Israelites followed advanced hygienic practices according to the divine instructions given to Moses. And they enjoyed an extraordinary resistance to sickness and disease. God's hygiene system is remarkably up to date. In fact, modern hospitals everywhere follow nearly every one of the original guidelines God laid out in the Bible. For example, the biblical hygiene regimen recorded in Numbers 19:12-22 required strict separation of the corpses of the dead from the living. When a person died, those present and anyone who prepared the body for burial (mandated before sundown) were considered unclean for seven days. Those individuals were to wash their hands, clothing and utensils with running water, extensive scrubbing and a mild astringent. The water was treated with ashes-a key component of soap for millennia-and administered with hyssop, which contained the antiseptic, thymol (the active ingredient in Listerine brand mouthwash). This biblical hygiene system also required that hands be washed before meals and at other key times to ensure cleanliness. The Bible also prescribes specific techniques for purifying clothing and key instruments or utensils, along with the safe disposal of human waste, proper burial methods, childbirth procedures, sexual hygiene, feminine hygienic guidelines (for the menses) and more. Leviticus chapter 13 provides detailed instructions for the diagnosis of the disease called leprosy, with strict guidelines for the purification of fabrics contaminated by the disease. It also called for the quarantine of people with any highly infectious disease. THE PURPOSE OF ADVANCED HYGIENE Proper hygiene is as essential to optimum health as diet and exercise. You can significantly reduce infections, allergy attacks and other negative health conditions by cleansing your body of toxins, pollutants, disease-causing germs and allergens. The direct relationship between good health and good hygiene has long been established. In fact, the first cure for cancer was based in proper hygiene. In the 18th century, London's chimney sweeps had an extraordinarily high rate of scrotal cancer until it was learned that those who regularly washed away the carcinogenic soot on their skin did not contract the disease! PIONEERING MODERN HYGIENE One hundred years later, hundreds of thousands of European women were dying of childbirth fever until a Viennese obstetrician named Dr. Semmelweis rediscovered biblical hygiene. His medical students routinely dissected cadavers barehanded in one room and then walked into the next to perform pelvic examinations or help deliver babies-without washing their hands! Death rates often approached the 50 percent mark. Dr. Semmelweis went against the grain of established medical practice and asked every doctor and medical student to wash their hands between deliveries (and autopsies). When they did, the death rate dropped by 90 percent! However, Dr. Semmelweis was ridiculed for his hygienic practice, and his staff insisted on going back to the old way! Even as late as World War 11, it is estimated that poor hygiene caused three times more deaths than battlefield wounds. GERMS DON'T FLY - THEY HITCHHIKE We've come a long way since then. We now know that the body's immune system is an autonomic or " automatic " function. The body reacts automatically when it senses an invasion by the disease-causing bacteria, fungi, viruses and allergens that surround us in our homes, job sites or backyards. Normally, the human immune system effectively fights off these diseases, but it easily becomes overloaded in today's toxic world. To make matters worse, our trams-global travel rapidly transports new diseases around the world in a day! We also understand that germs don't fly-they hitchhike. Germs generally travel via hand-to-hand contact or hand-to-surface-to-hand transfer. Your hands come into contact with the chief agents of infection on hundreds of surfaces daily, including other hands (and whatever they have touched). More than 90 percent of the germs on your hands reside under your fingernails. The same is true for allergens and environmental contaminants. Unfortunately, it is difficult to reach this area with normal hand washing techniques. And these germs easily enter the body through the nasal passageway or the tear ducts of the eyes when we touch them-which occurs at least twenty times a day. Typically, your fingertips come in contact with your eyes and nose more than 12,500 times each year. Each time there is the potential of auto-inoculating yourself with germs, allergens, environmental toxins and viruses. Autoinoculation of the eyes and nose from contaminated fingertips is particularly dangerous because the eyes and nose provide a direct pathway to the upper respiratory tract. (Some diseases enter the body through the mouth, but fluids in the mouth and stomach combat pathogens very effectively.) Upper respiratory problems, including sinus problems, account for 8 of every 10 visits to doctors' offices. The average adult battles four colds per year (six colds annually for children) and nearly 1 in 3 people have allergies. As with most instinctive human behavior, autoinoculation also serves an important positive purpose. When a baby first touches its fingertips to its eyes and nose, it introduces its immune system to the outside world, triggering the production of key antibodies to protect it from infection and preserve health. This natural process continues throughout life, keeping the immune system " attuned " to changes in the outside world. REDUCING STRESS ON YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM The good news is that the potentially deadly autoinoculation process is entirely avoidable. Several years ago, I found a modern hygiene system called the Advanced Hygiene system, which is scientifically designed to remove the overload from the immune system. This program of advanced hygiene represents the first real advancement in how we wash since the bar of soap was invented about 150 years ago, allowing the body to more effectively defend and protect itself against invasion from diseases. It addresses the proper cleansing of the areas under the fingernails and the membranes around the eyes and nose. These staging areas for germs are virtually neglected by other popular hygiene methods. The Advanced Hygiene system preserves the balance between the proper function of autoinoculation in building the body's natural defense capabilities, and its negative role in promoting infection by mass contamination through the eyes and nose. Careful cleaning under the fingernails and the membranes around the eyes and nose through Advanced Hygiene techniques reduces stress on the immune system and helps reduce the occurrence of infectious disease and allergies. Once the overload is removed from the immune system, it can devote energy to eliminating other infections that are present in the body, such as lingering bronchitis or sinusitis. I have personally been using this simple hygiene program faithfully morning and evening for several years and it has kept me virtually free from all respiratory illness and sinus infections. With my frequent North American and international travel, it is comforting to know that I am providing myself a daily measure of protection. DETERRING ALLERGIES The Advanced Hygiene techniques thoroughly cleanse or wash away contaminants, but they do not sterilize the fingernail beds and body membranes around the eyes and nasal passages. Sterilization using anti-microbial substances does more harm than good, preventing the immune system from adapting to the outside environment; this is especially important where allergies are concerned. More than 50 million people suffer from allergies, and the suffering continues even though many have visited allergists, taken tests, tried shots and ingested recommended drugs. Allergies are caused by mistaken immune system responses to harmless substances such as pollen, cat hair or dust mites. These responses produce defensive immune symptoms such as runny noses and watering eyes. The allergy industry treats allergies through the exclusive use of drugs that either desensitize the immune system toward potential allergens or suppress its natural response system altogether. Most of these drugs have multiple side effects and are only marginally effective. While we can't ignore the suffering, we can take a more simple commonsense approach to the problem. The concepts of advanced hygiene offer better cleansing techniques that will keep most of the offending substances away from your body (and may even avoid triggering an immune system response altogether). I am astounded that this simple approach of keeping allergens away from the body is not more prevalent. It is the failure of traditional pharmaceutical allergy treatments (pills, sprays, and injected drugs) to genuinely relieve allergy symptoms that has triggered the resurging interest in alternative methods of treatment. If you or your family suffers from frequent colds and flu, nagging allergies, upper respiratory problems, weakened immunity or other chronic health problems, I urge you to try the age old proven method of advanced hygiene.

I am in favor of eating beef, lamb and other " healthy " red meats. 2. You should spend time in direct sunlight. 3. Make sure you take your children out to play in the dirt. 4. You'll be healthier if you consume saturated fat every day. " list end Jordan Rubin from Garden of Life continues, " While I readily admit that we can't go back to the old ways of our primitive ancestors completely, we can learn from their wisdom in order to overcome or avoid the modern diseases of civilization. We can make our bodies strong and more disease resistant if we take the necessary steps to do so. " " The ultimate health wisdom available to us is a diet based on health principles clearly described in the Bible, which I have called 'The Maker's Diet'. It is remarkably well balanced and extremely healthy. Returning to The Maker's Diet as the ultimate primitive diet, based on instructions from the Creator Himself, is certain to contribute to better health for all who choose to do so.

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 OH BTW one thing I failed to mention is that I am not sharing this information about the makers diet with the list to say it will cure diabetes, no way, it isn't going to cure it but one thing it will do is sustain our life and prevent a lot of diseases that we all face in life. That is basically why I am reading it ... to figure out a way to prevent the onset of modern diseases and prevent them while also increasing the strength of my natural immune system!
