Grains are for the Birds!
by Jenny Silliman jennysilliman@juno.com
Grains are for the birds! A bird has an anatomical pouchlike organ called a crop, which is an enlarged portion of their throat or gullet, in which grains and other foods are held and partially digested by maceration, which is a soaking in liquid which their body produces for this purpose. Dr. Edward Howell, author of Enzyme Nutrition, writes: "When birds, for instance, swallow seeds or grains, these grains lie in the crop for 8 to 12 hours. As they sit, they absorb moisture, swell up and begin to germinate. During germination, enzymes are formed which do the work of digesting the seeds and grains."
Most Americans are overweight and about half are obese—probably in a large part because of overuse and abuse of this popular food group. We are raised with grains as a filler at every meal—you know they are the basic foundation of the food pyramid in the SAD Standard American Diet. Bread, even whole grain bread, grains flavored with the five deadly whites (sugar, white flour, salt, cooked dairy and fat), does not promote health. The fact is that baked goods are one of the most addicting foods on the planet.
Bread, bread, bread! Bread used to be my favorite food group. I used my own recipes for fresh ground organic whole grain bread, muffins, pancakes, biscuits, sweet rolls, donuts, cakes and cookies. I used only the best ingredients, such as celtic salt, honey straight from the beekeeper and organic wheat berries that I ground myself. How do you think I got to be 80 pounds overweight? Yes, even with WHOLE grain breads and whole grain casseroles and brown rice and oatmeal that are supposedly SO healthy, I became obese. These are the starchy foods, (along with the butter, oils, sugar, and salt that makes them yummy) that I used to fill up on. These baked goodies, especially when chocolate is added into the mix, are still my downfall. I am a carbohydrate addict.
I believe we are supposed to fill up on the food we were created to eat, fresh, raw, living, fruits, vegetables and green leafys. These truly satisfy the hunger and the nutritional needs of the body. RAW is the one and only food group--NO more pyramids!
For a treat, or a dessert, we can enjoy a few raw nuts and seeds. Nuts and seeds are harvested in the fall and store through the winter well. God provided them as a food to get us through the winter months when our supply of fresh produce becomes slim. Grains actually are seeds and they serve the same purpose. They are easy to store and hard to spoil. In times of famine, flood or fire, they have enabled us to survive. Bread became “the staff of life” because it is a crutch to lean on or fall back upon in an emergency. In times of plenty, when there are more nutritious choices, however, grains are not needed as a staple.
Grains are seeds; however, they are not edible in the raw unprocessed form. Grains are rather flavorless on their own. We would probably turn up our noses at the plain barley flatbread eaten in Biblical times. Man, with his clever ideas and desire for food that is sweet, has taken grains--which are raw seeds--pounded them and ground them up and added sweetness, fat, dairy (in the form of milk, butter or cheese) and salt and then he cooks them to death. Did you ever eat plain whole grains? Horrible. Try eating cooked wheat berries or try eating flour by itself. Yuk! Baked goods, with all those “health robbers” added in, the sweet, the fat and the salty, induce overeating and even food addiction.
One cause of overweight and obesity is grains, whether whole grains or refined. Grains are highly addictive and they are the food most often binged upon. When an overweight person eliminates grains from their diet they lose weight and will probably never be overweight again. If you think they are not addicting, try to completely eliminate all starches for one week. This includes hot and cold cereal, rice, pasta, chips, tortillas, bread, corn, cornbread or anything made with flour or wheat. You might go through withdrawals for a few days. It might be more difficult than you imagine.
If you don't believe me, read "The NO-GRAIN Diet" by Dr. Mercola. The subtitle is: "Conquer Carbohydrate Addiction and Stay Slim for Life." I don't agree with everything Dr. Mercola says, but you might be interested to read what he says about corn. Corn seems so harmless. He states that it has no nutritional value to our system, is hard to digest, and causes the body to react the same as when sugar is ingested since it is a grain. Corn is a definite no-no in his suggestions!
It has become traditional to consume generous quantities of grains at each meal. Bread, cereal, pasta and rice are thought to be healthful. GRAINS ARE NOT HEALTH FOOD. Grains are acid-forming and mucous-forming in our system. The use of grains contributes to various ailments and diseases such as allergies, arthritis, asthma, colitis, colon cancer, irritable bowel syndrome, fibro myalgia, sinus infections, headaches, osteoporosis, chronic fatigue and ulcers.
Our system gradually breaks down our food into small molecules so that it may be absorbed into our bloodstream. Starches are very complex carbohydrates (complex sugars), polysaccharides, and they can be broken down partially by our salivary ptyalin, but this substance is weak in humans. We are not meant to break down tough starches. God designed us with a digestive system perfectly suited for a diet of raw fruits, vegetables and green leafys. When fruit and vegetables are ripe, the starches have turned to monosaccharides, or simple sugars, and are easy for us to digest, and in fact the optimal food for us. Our body requires the soft or soluable fibers of raw vegetation. The “non-soluable” fiber that is found in grains is sharp and acts as an irritant to our intestines.
In addition, wheat and many other grains, contain “gluten” which is a protein that is just that, gluey. The human digestive system, unlike the birds, was not designed with the enzyme needed to digest this substance. The chemical reaction that gluten produces in the body is similar to a morphine-type molecule, which reeks havoc on the central nervous system. Gluten in the diet has been shown to be a contributing factor in behavioral problems, attention deficit disorder, learning disabilities and even autism and schizophrenia.
Grains are acid-forming and humans need alkaline-forming food (raw fruits, veggies and green leafys!) to be healthy. When we ingest acid-forming foods our body has to utilize calcium, with the alkaline pH, to balance our system again. This is how we lose calcium from our bones and osteoporosis develops. A diet high in grains is dangerous for the bones! Grains also have a natural coating, called phytic acid, to inhibit sprouting. Ideally grains should be soaked and the soak water poured off, before they are used, so that the toxic phytic acid is not ingested. In fact, soaked and sprouted grains are wonderful nutrition. Of course, then they become a green leafy and we already know how wonderful those are for us!
If all of this information isn’t enough to convince you to give up grains, or at least minimize them in your diet, take a look at the toxic chemicals used in grain production: aspartine, ammonium salts, fluorine, mercury, cyanide and chlorine. Then take a look at packaged grain products and read the list of preservatives, additives, chemical flavorings, and coloring agents. These are all in addition to the typical ingredients, oils, sugar, salt and cooked dairy, that are all hazardous to health and promote carbohydrate addiction.
One idea is to save grains and fresh baked goodies for a celebration food or a special treat. In the Bible we read about special feasts and celebrations throughout the year. However, for the bulk of our diet, grains are not a good idea. I know this may go against the grain (pun intended), but I believe God when He gave us fruits, vegetables and green leaves and said they were for our food and do you know what God said about raw food? He said, “Behold, it is very good.”

"Cancer, Cause and Cure"
by Jenny Silliman jennysilliman@juno.com
Cancer can't grow in the presence of oxygen. Cancer also does not grow in an alkaline environment. Cancer grows in an acidic environment and it grows in the presence of fermentation which is anerobic, which meanswithout oxygen.
The Standard American Diet (S.A.D.), with lots of meat, sugar, wheat and dairy, and cooked and processed foods, is acid-forming. Cooked food contains almost no oxygen. Coffee and soda are especially acid-forming and so are baked goods. Baked goods, (grains and sugar) create fermentation (actually alcohol!) in the body and this is perfect for cancer to grow. Raw fruits and raw vegetables, especially dark green leafys (and the king is wheatgrass!), are alkaline-forming in our system and they also have a high oxygen content that is easily assimilated into the cells of our body.
Raw produce in abundance in our diet is our best line of defense in the prevention and cure of cancer. (and eliminating sugar, wheat and dairy from the diet--except maybe someone might include raw dairy products. For more on dairy read Health Seeker E-Newsletter "Milk is ForBabies.")
In addition, to prevent (or cure) cancer we need to do all we can to live a healthy life which means fresh air, (oxygen!) plenty of good water(which contains oxygen also), sunshine and placing a big priority on exercise, exercise, exercise. Exercise is another avenue to circulate oxygen into the bloodstream. Remember cancer can't grow in the presence of oxygen! Aerobic exercise and muscle building or strength training (I joined Curves!) for at least a half an hour 3 times a week isrecommended. This is only an hour and a half a week--surely we can find that much time in our busy schedules for the sake of our health and to prevent cancer.
For more on the subject of "Cancer, Cause and Cure" read
"Eat to Live" byDr. Joel Fuhrman www.drfuhrman.com
"Cancer Doesn't Scare Me Anymore"by Lorraine Day, M.D. www.drday.com P.O. Box 8, Thousand Palms, CA 92276 1-800-574-2437. You can see the cancerous tumor on Dr. Day's chest on her website. She is now cancer free and alive and well and over 60 years oldand happily spreading the news about raw vegan food, exercise and ahealthy lifestyle for the cure and prevention of cancer.
Also read AnnWigmore's books or "How I Conquered Cancer Naturally" by Eydie MaeHunsberger, one of Ann's followers. www.wheatgrassman.com
Or contactElizabeth Baker, age 91 and raw food advocate, that healed from 4 different illnesses including cancer deana.m.healy@att.net
I have known many people to recover from cancer by adopting an all rawproduce diet OR a high raw program like Eat to Live www.drfuhrman.com
or the Hallelujah Diet www.hacres.com
IF they eliminated all sweets except fresh fruit (no dried fruit or honey etc.) and they eliminated meat, wheat and dairy. In other words, they became vegan vegetarian and either 80-90% raw or 100% raw and had no acid-forming sweets, meat or wheat.
If you begin such an eating program plan to detox (feels like the flu) for a few days each week or each month in diminishing cycles. The body will clean house and you will feel worse at first, but hang in there because then you will have a break through in healing. This is also called "a healing crisis."
For six months now I've been juicing wheatgrass and vegetables in a SoloStar juicer. (For more info: www.wheatgrasskits.com or call (801)375-2250. Give them my name, Jenny Silliman, and get a special reduced price of $199.95 when it normally sells for $239.95 on the website. Also can get a discount on books on wheatgrass. The best one is "Wheatgrass,Nature's Finest Medicine" by Meyerowitz and also excellent are Ann Wigmore's books.)
When I broke my arm in January I had to have surgery and when the nurse tested my blood she said in astonishment, "WOW! Your blood is 99% oxygenated. I've never seen it this high!" RAW RAW RAW!
It is estimated that in the year 2020 approximately 80% of all Americans will have cancer. Right now it is the second highest cause of death in children ages newborn to 13. Health is not an accident, it is an achievement--a very worthwhile achievement. You can't get it out of bottles of medicine or bottles of expensive vitamins. You can't buy back your health when it fails, but you can become a health seeker and learn how to nourish the temple body that God has entrusted into your care. You can change and live a healthier lifestyle. You can find time, MAKE time, o exercise each day. You can rebuild a healthy body with a strong immune system that is resistant to disease, illness and fatigue.
God has prescribed raw, living, enzyme charged food from the good of the land--fruits and vegetables and nuts and seeds. In the very beginning God said, "I give you every fruit bearing seed and green leaves (herbs) and they shall be for your food." Nothing compares to the way I feel on an all raw vegan diet with daily exercise. As God said, "It is very good."
Love in Jesus,
Jenny, your health seeker friend

Dear Jenny, I shared your newsletter with my mother-in-law and she said it was a similar program that helped her lose over 100 lbs before I met her. She had been told by several doctors that her numerous health problems could not be controlled and she was going to die in her 50s. Fortunately a Seventh Day Adventist doctor with the Weimar Institute (if you aren't familiar with them check them out, you would love them, very much like your program) told her that if she was willing to make a lot of radical changes in her life she would live. So she started eating raw (eventually moved to vegetarian after getting her weight down and health under control) and exercising, drinking water, getting fresh air and sunshine, and she is still going strong at age 76. She has a wonderful story, she's the best one to share with you, as it was before I came along. She got to be so good at it she helped with some classes and gave inspiriational talks at Weimar and some Seventh Day Adventist churches. Well I just wanted to tell you how happy I am for you and what a blessing your encouragement in this area has been. God keeps hitting me over the head with things telling me I need to lose weight and more importantly put food in its proper perspective in my life, right now it is my friend and consolation (God wants to be the ONE) When I am ready to change you have given me the tools. Love in Christ, -----

"Eat to Live" by Joel Fuhrman, M.D.
Dr. Fuhrman is a Natural Hygiene Health Science board member and regular contributor of articles to their excellent magazine called Health Science. He provides online support to those who wish to heal from sickness or disease, such as cancer, or would like to lose excess weight.
This excerpt from his book,"Eat to Live" (80% raw eating program) is entitled: "Cancer is a Fruit and Vegetable Deficiency Disease"
"Not surprisingly, fruits and vegetables are the two foods with the best correlation with longevity in humans. Not whole-wheat bread, not bran,not even a vegetarian diet shows as powerful a correlation as a high level of fresh fruit and raw green salad consumption.
The National Cancer Institute recently reported on 337 different studies that all showed the same basic information:
1. Vegetables and fruits protect against all types of cancers if consumed in large enough quantities. Hundreds of scientific studies document this. The most prevalent cancers in our country are mostly plant-food-deficiency diseases.
2. Raw vegetables have the most powerful anti-cancer properties of all foods.
3. Studies on the cancer-reducing effects of vitamin pills containing various nutrients (such as folate, vitamin C and E) get mixed reviews; sometimes they show a slight benefit, but most show no benefit. Occasionally studies show that taking isolated nutrients is harmful, as was discussed earlier regarding beta-carotene...
Though Americans would prefer to take a pill so they could continue eating what they are accustomed to, it won't give you the protection youare looking for. You can close the cover of this book and put it away right now as long as you can incorporate this crucial dietary change into your life: consume high levels of fruits and green vegetables..."

HEALTH SEEKER: "Juice!"
by jennysilliman@juno.com
QUESTION FOR JENNY
>What do you think of
> the Champion juicer?
>Would you recommend it?
Yes, I like my Champion juicer. It is a fast juicer. However I have a SoloStar Juicer also. It is for wheatgrass juice and greens but it is slow and I'm often in a hurry. Pulp is drier but machine is slower.Champion pulp is wetter but the machine is FAST. The Champion is as SOLID as can be and has served me well for many many years. It costs about $250. You can put the pulp back through a second time for drier pulp.
I also use Champion (with a blank plate) for nut butters and to make atype of soft serve "ice cream" made of all fruit and frozen banana base, but don't really taste bananas. Add blueberries for blueberry flavor, strawberries for strawberry flavor, vanilla bean gound up for vanilla flavor, raw carob powder for choco-like flavor etc. Everyone I've tried this soft serve "ice-cream" on just thinks it is delicious. Great for a celebration food!
I do use my SoloStar juicer every morning. It wrings the blades ofwheatgrass, sprigs of parsley and green leaves or celery DRY. I growwheat sprouts on my kitchen counter in a half inch of soil in a Rubbermaid bin lid and then layer of wheat berries thick and water dailyand sprout and grow till 5 to 7 inches tall then cut with scissors and JUICE with SoloStar. Easy and fun! The juice is AMAZING! Has everynutrient known to man! Protein, calcium, b-vits for energy, even B12!
This cup of green juice I drink every morning is like insurance. I know I'm getting what nutrients I need. I have soft skin, clear eyes, amazingmental clarity--I credit nourishment from my green juice breakfast! If you have overweight or craving struggles--here's your solution! Juice! Ahhhh so satisfying! Floods cells immediately with nourishment cells arecraving! Fiber removed to bypass broken down, faulty, or coated digestive system. Have a second juice for lunch then fruit snacks, green fruit smoothies, daily grind flax seed for essential fats, and a huge green leafy salad for supper and you'll be amazed at health and healing, no more cravings and excess weight will fall off of you!
Be aware this potent healing juice may put body into cleaning out toxins also known as detoxing or healing crisis. However this is SO healing andprevents/heals any disease or ailment known to ma--even cancer. Always rise to new level of health, lose excess weight and feel high on healthafter a cycle of detox. SoloStar is best for greens and especially stringy things like celery andwheatgrass and dry green leafys like kale, romaine or parsley. It is sortof hard/slow to do carrots. Also apples, which I add to make juice yummy,make a mess with the foamy pulp overflowing the strainer. I usually just juice 1 apple then it is fine. Other veggies are doable, just slower.
If want a fast juice I use my Champion without wheatgrass or drier leaves.Champion does spinach, apple, cuke, carrot, celery, beet juices very well. In SoloStar I usually juice 1 carrot, 1 celery stick, 1 apple, 1 zucchini, parsley, spinach or kale and lots of wheatgrass to make a cupof potent healing energizing green juice. You can call and order the SoloStar for a big savings and it is only $199.99 if you give them my name Jenny Silliman. Also look it up online at http://www.wheatgrasskits.com/ Call Kay K. at 866-948-4727 Be SURE to tell her Jenny sent you for a discount!
The same company/site also sells books on wheatgrass juicing and the BEST BOOK ON SUBJECT..."Wheatgrass: Nature's Finest Medicine"by the juiceman Steve Meyerowitz. Read about Ann Wigmore in his book. Also excellent is:"The Wheatgrass Book"by Ann Wigmore--she was pioneer in healing w/ wheatgrass and helped 1,000s and opened healing centers that still operate today. Read how to beat cancer!AGAIN if order books be sure to tell Kay K. at 866-948-4727 that Jenny Silliman sent you for discounted prices! To have wonderful miraculous wheatgrass juice makes it worth having 2juicers to me. Hope this helps!

HEALTH SEEKER: "Juice!"

QUESTION FOR JENNY
>What do you think of
> the Champion juicer?
>Would you recommend it?
Yes, I like my Champion juicer. It is a fast juicer. However I have a SoloStar Juicer also. It is for wheatgrass juice and greens but it is slow and I'm often in a hurry. Pulp is drier but machine is slower.Champion pulp is wetter but the machine is FAST. The Champion is as SOLID as can be and has served me well for many many years. It costs about $250. You can put the pulp back through a second time for drier pulp.
