SECRET REVEALED Sunfood Diet

The Principle Of Life Transformation

1. Begin writing in a journal to record progresses and to release worries, doubts and fears
2. Focus inward to beautify one’s physical, mental, emotional and spiritual potential. Write down the answer to the following questions:
“What type of person must I be to experience radiant health?”
“How do I become that type of person quickly while enjoying the process?”
3. Proclaim daily: “I am fully responsible for my own great health. My daily habits create my great health.”

The Foundational Law

There is a law that was decreed during the foundation of the world. It is the law upon which all things are based. The law is that things produce after their own kind. It is the primal law of cause and effect: The Law of Production.

The Law of Production

• Excellent food choices lead to more excellent food choices
• Excellent habits create a fertile ground for more excellent habits
• Excellent decisions lead to more excellent decisions

As long as one nurtures the seeds of joy, achievement and destiny, these things shall follow in abundance; however, if the poisonous prickly weeds of doubt and fear are allowed to take possession of the garden, they too shall follow. Poisonous prickly weeds grown in the garden-mind lead to negativity, hopelessness, inferiority complexes and mental illness.

Advice:
1. Daily, upon rising, and before sleeping, envision perfect health, happiness and harmony. Hold this picture within the conscious mind for 30 unbroken seconds. This will plant a seed. By consistent focus this seed will grow.
2. Begin tracing health challenges (effects) such as addictions, illnesses, etc., to their “causes.” Record the answer to this question: “What is the true cause of my foremost health challenge?”

Thoughts Are Things

“All destiny begins with thinking.” - Percival

Thoughts are things. Thoughts are seeds. Thoughts are energy. Energy pulsates; it sends ripples into the fabric of time and space, affecting all things. Thoughts turn themselves into physical “objects.” Thoughts shape one’s being and character. Everything which happens to people, which is attracted into their lives, is a product of their thinking. Thoughts are felt. Negative thoughts produce acid throughout the entire tissue system. Thoughts of envy, jealousy, fear and resentment send waves of retentiveness and tension throughout the body. Those with a tendency to hoard typically suffer from constipation. Anxiety quickly weakens the whole body. Negative thoughts create havoc throughout the entire nervous system. Strong, pure and happy thoughts build fortitude and beauty. The natural body is a sensitive, finely-tuned instrument that responds readily to the thoughts it is repeatedly presented. Habits of thought will produce their own effects (good or bad) upon the body. One cannot think negative thoughts and achieve positive results. To eliminate negative thoughts, people must understand what causes them.


The primary causes of negative thoughts are:

• Cause 1: Living with love withheld in the past or present. Some people are living in situations right now where love is withheld and/or conditional. To reverse these situations, start by freely forgiving. Holding on to past injuries serves no purpose in creating a successful future.
• Cause 2: Enduring destructive criticism in the past or present. Associating with those who criticize spoils the climate of life. It is imperative to disassociate from people who have the tendency to make others feel inferior - this is absolutely critical to achieving excellent health.
• Cause 3: Ingesting too many acidic, phosphorus-rich foods or not ingesting sufficient alkaline, calcium/magnesium-rich foods. Food has a profound impact on the way people think, feel and behave. Flesh foods, as well as nuts and seeds have a contracting and acidifying effect.
• Cause 4: Ingesting excessively cooked and processed foods (food degraded by heat). These foods have lost their energy and vitality, thus causing people to feel less energetic and alive.
• Cause 5: A dietary lack of long-chain omega-3 essential fatty acids in brain tissue leads to neurological imbalances and potentially, depression. Sources of Omega-3 essential fatty acids include:
• Hemp seeds and oil
• Flax seeds and oil
• Purslane (a wild herb)
• Blue-green algae from Klamath Lake
• DHA/golden algae (dried and pressed for its raw oil)
• Cause 6: A lack of the amino acid tryptophan can lead to depression. In metabolism, tryptophan is transformed along with vitamin B3 into a compound called 5HTP, which along with vitamin B6 is then transformed into the neurotransmitter serotonin, our primary stress-defense shield and buffer against depression. Tryptophan is found in raw, high protein foods such as: (DO NOT heat / cook)
• Hemp seeds
• Pumpkin seeds
• Bee pollen
• Spirulina
• Blue-green algae
• Chlorella
• Goji berries
• Maca root
• Cacao

The Law Of Substitution

Once the causes of negative thoughts are known, they can be purged more effectively. The Law of Substitution can be used to totally eradicate them from one’s life. People can remove the clouds of negativity from their minds by eliminating the causes mentioned. Then just relax and substitute positive thoughts and habits in their place.

Goals

“Great dreamers’ dreams are never fulfilled, they are always transcended.” - Alfred Lord Whitehead

Imagine a beautiful garden with brilliant Sun, crystalline water, friendly insects and rich soil ripe for the planting. A garden, perfect in every respect, except there are no desirable seeds present because they have not been planted. The only seeds sprouting are those weeds and shrubs planted by others, or by the wind and birds. Yet those haphazard plants continue to be cultivated and tended. This perfect garden, containing none of one’s own seeds, is what the mind is like when no definite goals are present. If there is no crop to nurture to an edible state, one drifts along with the vagaries, whims and goals of others. Few realize that a major cause of stress (the great destroyer of health) is having no clear goals, no future plans.


Setting goals allows people to chart the course of their lives and control where they are going. The very first step before beginning a journey is an undiminished decision as to the direction. If one is determined to manifest the dormant powers within, they must first get clear about what they want and where they are going.

1. Develop an intense desire to achieve the goals
2. Develop a strong belief in the goals
3. Write down the goals
4. Determine the benefit from achieving the goals
5. Analyze the starting point
6. Set deadlines to achieve the goals
7. Identify obstacles
8. Identify the additional knowledge or information required
9. Identify the people whose cooperation is required
10. Make a plan to achieve the goals
11. Visualize the achievement of the goals
12. Persist until the goals are achieved

SECRET REVEALED ~~~~ The Sunfood Diet

“Kill neither men, nor beasts, nor yet the food which goes into your mouth. For if you eat living food, the same will quicken you, but if you kill your food, the dead food will kill you also. For life comes only from life, and from death comes always death. For everything which kills your foods, kills your bodies also. And everything which kills your bodies kills your souls also. And your bodies become what your foods are, even as your spirits, likewise, become what your thoughts are. Therefore, eat not anything which fire, or frost, or water has destroyed. For burned, frozen, or rotted foods will burn, freeze and rot your body also.”
- The Essene Gospel Of Peace, Book I translated by Edmond Bordeaux Szekely

What people eat deeply and radically affects the way they think, feel and behave. Food affects every aspect of one’s being. Food is the foundation of one’s physical body. If the foundation is stable, all that is built upon it will be stable. Improving food choices will dramatically improve the foundation upon which the human body is built.

Raw plant foods fall into fourteen major categories:

1. Fruits - raw plant foods that contain the seed within themselves for their reproduction
2. Leaves - contain life-giving chlorophyll pigments; are the best source of alkaline minerals
3. Nuts - the reproductive agents of certain trees
4. Seeds - the reproductive agents of plants; grains are seeds
5. Legumes - all peas, beans and peanuts; often sprouted before consumption
6. Flowers - the sexual organs of plants
7. Green sprouts - appear when sprouted seeds or legumes shoot forth green leaves.
8. Roots - the below-ground portion of plants
9. Shoots - young plants spread by underground runners from their parent plants
10. Bark - the outer, protective layer of trees
11. Sap - the life-fluid of a tree (maple syrup, bee propolis)
12. Stems - the fibrous, structural pieces of plants
13. Water vegetation - sea vegetables such as spirulina and algae
14. Mushrooms - non-chlorophyll fungus that grows primarily in darkness (reishi, cordyceps)

Of all the raw plant foods on Earth, “The Sunfood Diet” requires that more than 80% of food choices contain a balance of green-leafed vegetables, sweet fruits and fatty plant foods. The other 20% can contain any of the fourteen kinds of raw plant foods mentioned above, or other foods that one feels is appropriate for them. A diet of raw plant food puts people in touch with a new vital power. In the source of every vital power lies an endless abundance. A diet of raw plant food presents a whole new paradigm of health, wealth, success and possibility. Since “The Sunfood Diet” is in alignment with a natural way of life, it brings with it beauty, happiness, long-life and prosperity. The more perfectly clean one’s body is, the more perfectly it will radiate their supernatural powers. The first things to evaporate in a toxic environment are the super-natural abilities provided to people at birth. These powers are possessed by wild animals, and formerly by humanity. As soon as the body begins to be poisoned, the powers slip away.

When people adhere to “The Sunfood Diet”, the following applies:
Instincts become stronger
Intuition becomes more reliable and clearer
Decision-making becomes effortless
Less sleep is needed

It compels people to live naturally and in harmony with the Earth

When people eat with food packaging and wrappers, it leaves behind pollution. Landfills are filled with this waste along with old stoves and microwaves. This is not living in harmony with the Earth. People are water - magnetic water. Everything swallowed must be broken down into a liquid for nourishment. The first thing to go with cooking is the water. Cooked food is dense. It leaves a toxic ash, or residue in the body after it has been processed as fuel. Over years and decades, this debris accumulates in the form of mucus and is deposited throughout the tissues. Eventually, the toxins reach a crisis level and clog and poison the system leading to heart attacks, strokes and cancer. Many illnesses arise out of the toxic residues left by cooked foods.

Eating cooked and processed foods has results such as:
Grogginess
Mood-swings
Lower levels of awareness
Interfering with the body’s optimal vitality
Toxic residues that have a long-range effect on longevity

The nutritional properties of foods are degraded by the process of cooking. Heating converts foods into foreign substances, some of which are harmful. Cooked food is addictive. An addiction is a desire for a substance that has no connection with the true needs of the body. Certain cooked food behaviors have all the marks of a physio-chemical addiction.

The most common foods people have trouble releasing are:
Breads
Baked potatoes
Coffee
Potato chips
Corn chips
Tofu
Candy (cooked chocolate)
Fish

Typically these foods are attached to emotional anchors. When these foods are removed, emotional feelings come up to be detoxified out of the body. One may feel uncomfortable for the moment (as these feelings are released), but feel much better in the long-term. Every living organism is vibrating at a certain metabolic level. If the internal energy of the organism drops below a certain level, then the immune system is compromised. Illness is an energy crisis in the body - the body no longer has enough energy to hold together its integrity. Purifying the body through balanced, mineral-rich, raw-food nutrition raises the energy vibration, thus increasing the immune system.

Raw plant foods are the single most effective antidote to the following ailments:
Anxiety
Depression
Disease
Fear
Immobility
Insomnia
Pain
Stress
Worry

The Secret Revealed

There are three essentials to raw-food nutrition (actually to any diet). One can eat other foods, but these three elements must be there to achieve harmony. If one of these food classes is missing in the diet for a significant period (ranging from a few weeks to several months), imbalances will occur. For optimal results, all three food classes should be eaten each day. Keep in mind that each body has its own biochemical individuality, and that the exact ratios of green foods (protein), sugars (carbohydrates) and fats/oils differs from person to person.

1. Eat green-leafy vegetables (chlorophyll 33 %) for strength:

• Lettuce (all types)
• Celery (very important; an excellent source of sodium)
• All green herbs: parsley, cilantro, arugula, etc.
• Wheatgrass and sunflower greens
• Crane’s Bill
• Dark leafy greens - collards, kale (especially dinosaur kale), spinach, mustard(wild)
• Dark green cabbage and bok choy
• Endive
• Wild fennel and wild radish
• Spring onions (green)
• All wild edible greens - Malva, Purslane, Lamb’s Quarters (Goosefoot), Dandelion, Algae - blue-green, Chlorella and Spirulina; these are alkaline-green protein superfoods; they are not true leafy-vegetables; nevertheless they can be used in this category

The benefits of chlorophyll (raw) include:

• Ensures good, daily elimination
• Counteracts acid-forming foods such as nuts, seeds, durians, cooked foods, apple cider vinegar, proteins and animal products
• Counteracts acid-forming air toxins such as carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, sulfuric acid, nitrous oxide, chlorine, etc. and make the body alkaline
• Greens are the lung cleansers
• Deactivate, combine with and help wash out heavy metals
• Best source of alkaline minerals (calcium, sodium, magnesium, iron and trace minerals)
• Balances the endocrine system (especially if wild greens are eaten)
• Green-leaves naturally brush and clean the teeth
• Green-leaves naturally broom out the entire digestive tract as they pass through the body
• They ground the mind and calm the system
• Contain antioxidants

Symptoms of a chlorophyll overdose include:

Spaciness
Laziness
The feeling of being too passive
The feeling of being too cold (w/ the exception of wheatgrass juice which can make one feel too hot)

2. Eat sweet fruits/carbohydrates (sugars 33 percent) for brain and body fuel:

• Wild (not orchard-grown) honey
• Unfiltered agave cactus nectar
• Cherries (wild are best)
• Berries
• Pomegranates
• Apples
• Apricots
• Crab Apples
• Dates of all exotic types
• Figs of all types (wild are best)
• Goji Berries
• Incan Berries
• Grapes with seeds
• White Sapote
• Mangosteen

The benefits of sweet fruits (raw) include:

• Contain Glucose/Fructose/Sugar for immediate energy
• Karma: A positive role in spreading fruiting plants and trees about brings us good luck
• Pleasure
• Contain nutrients from the Sun
• A cleansing food: fruits are relentless cleansers and mucus dissolvers.
• Contain Vitamin C and other antioxidants

Symptoms of a sugar overdose include:

• Excessive urination
• Light-headedness
• Tooth sensitivity
• Edginess/anxiety
• Constipation
• Sores in the mouth - this can be caused by potassium overdose: eat sodium-residue foods
• Black circles under the eyes (adrenal exhaustion)
• Grogginess

3. Eat fatty foods (fats 33 percent) for beauty and as a lubricant of the body:

• Nuts of all types - almonds, brazils, cacao beans (chocolate nuts), cashews, hazelnuts, macadamia, pecans, pistachio, walnuts, pine nuts, Pili nuts
• Nut butters (almond butter is excellent)
• Young coconuts
• Seeds - flax, hemp, pumpkin, sesame (used to make tahini), sunflower, poppy
• Avocados
• Durians and Akee (a relative of the durian fruit)
• Olives - quite possibly the world’s most perfect food. They are a biblical fruit associated
  in the scriptures with symbols of goodness, happiness, purity, and prosperity. They must be picked fresh and sun-ripened. As it ripens in the Sun, the bitter component (oleuropein) is converted and the fruit becomes edible. The black olives reach their ripe maturity when the fruit softens and the internal flesh changes from white or red to brown or black.
• Seed oils (borage, coconut, hemp, flax, pumpkin) and olive oil

The benefits of fatty foods and oils (raw) include:

Builds better brain tissue
Insulates the nerves; protects the body against pollution
Helps reverse heart disease
Replaces trans-fatty acids which have hindered the respiration of each cell
Stabilizing factor in raw diets and they ground the body
Provide long-term fuel
Deliver minerals to the bones; they help with the assimilation of minerals
Help transport vitamins A, D, E, and K, along with other nutrients, to the tissues
Contain antioxidants
Symptoms of a fat/oil overdose include:
Mucus elimination
Liver stagnation
Edginess
Sluggishness
Oily pores and pimples
Constipation
Feelings of being too hot
Feelings of being “hung over”
Strong body odor

Raw organic dairy products may be used to fulfill the fat category for people with weak fat metabolisms or in need of vitamin B12. They may also benefit those who have become deficient in alkaline minerals (calcium, magnesium, etc.) from not consuming enough whole green-leafed vegetables and/or who are experiencing a lack of excellent intestinal flora.

Protein and Superfoods

The best, cleanest sources of protein are green vegetables, seeds (hemp, flax, sesame, poppy, sunflower, chia, etc.) and superfoods. Superfoods are plant foods with extraordinary properties. Usually they contain all essential amino acids, high levels of minerals, and a wide array of unique, even rare nutrients. Some prominent superfoods include:

• Spirulina - the highest concentration of protein on Earth
• Blue-Green Algae - Klamath lake algae has a phenomenal reputation in the health field
• Chlorella - another high-protein algae that has the special property of detoxifying heavy metals from the brain when used in conjunction with cilantro
• Bee pollen - wild pollen should be used. Bee pollen is nature’s most complete food
• Maca - this root increases the production of progesterone in women and testosterone in men. A warming food, rich in minerals and vigor-increasing properties
• Cacao beans - the raw form of chocolate. Cacao is the nut of the cacao fruit. This is likely the most chemically complex food substance in the world. It inhibits appetite.
• Goji berries or Wolfberries - the most revered food in Tibetan and Chinese herbalism, contain at least 18 amino acids, are a complete protein and a rich source of minerals
• Hemp seeds - the only seed with no enzyme inhibitors. Contains edestin, perhaps the most bio-available form of protein. Also contains the youthening sulfur-bearing amino acids and a unique array of minerals
• Wild young coconuts - not the white Thai coconuts found in markets. The coconut water and soft inner flesh are strength enhancing, electrolyte-rich and mineral-rich
