Section 11

Enzymes carry life and energy. We are not only human beings but also spiritual beings. We need energy to move and work, as well as to love, communicate, empathize and share with each other. Every time we eat cooked food, we lose enzymes. In our cooked food-filled bodies, enzymes have a very hard job to do. Since there are no enzymes in cooked food, our bodies don't need it. Therefore, the body sees cooked food as a toxin and tries to digest as little of it as possible.

Trust your intuition and don't assume that anyone knows what your body needs better than you do. Your body is beautiful and wise. All 35 trillion cells in your body have their own soul and their own wisdom and know what they need. Imagine a speck of snot gets in your right eye. Which eye would close? The right eye, of course. The left eye will not close by mistake - your body never makes mistakes. Your mother produced a beautiful child. Our bodies are perfect. When we start commanding our body and we don't listen to its wisdom, then we are in trouble.

The body of every living thing is constantly adapting to its environment in order to survive. The body does whatever is necessary to protect itself and ensure the survival of the species by overcoming any obstacle. If the body has a choice between possible destruction and survival at all costs, the body always chooses survival. This is called the law of survival.

Bacteria are the world's greatest wizards. Just think about it: by recycling all dead organic material into the earth, bacteria recycle completely unnecessary, disgusting garbage into the original source of all life. Bacteria are unique - they are microscopic and huge at the same time. Smaller than any living cell, bacteria can increase their power in the blink of an eye by endlessly multiplying. Bacteria are ingenious inventions and a gift from God to us all! We are constantly trying to kill as many bacteria as possible because we don't understand their purpose on Earth.

Detoxification is an effort by our body to cleanse itself. Detoxification is necessary if you want to become healthy. It takes a lot of energy for the body to cleanse the body of drugs. After one illness, we may not get sick for quite a long time. This is because there is no energy left in the body to detoxify. The body has to build up energy before it can start cleaning your system again. This is why most adults never have the high fever that children do.

Starvation is a privilege. Starvation is a joy. When is it time to fast? You'll know it's time to fast when any food starts to taste bad - even your favorite foods. It's your body giving you a sign that it's time to fast. I have fasted on water many times from one day to twenty-one. Sometimes I've fasted on juices for a few days. We like to fast as a family at the same time. Very often we fast for one or two days when we travel to teach our classes. It makes it easier to endure long trips - we don't get tired at all. We have fasted several times as a family for seven days on juices and many times one or two days on water.

When we open the "Big Book" of AA (Alcoholics Anonymous), we find that only one in a thousand can quit drinking by simple willpower. You will also read that the 12 Step program has helped hundreds of thousands of people quit drinking. I have been convinced that if this program helps alcoholics, go it can also help those who depend on cooked food. I now realize that it is not enough to simply teach people the virtues of raw food. Only one in a thousand will be able to stay 100% raw by pure willpower without any support.

These stories show that addiction to cooked food is stronger than the fear of death. Stronger than the fear of any disease, stronger than suffering and pain. The only way to overcome our addiction to cooked food is to become aware of our addiction and the fact that cooked food controls our lives, and to apply the 12 Steps program.

We agreed earlier that for most people, food is the primary pleasure. Therefore, most people will not stay on raw food diet if the food is not delicious. Can raw food be as appetizing as cooked food? Absolutely!!! If you want to learn how to make delicious raw foods, get out your new blender, food processor, juicer and dehydrator (dehydrator) and put them all in your kitchen. Don't just look at them, use them.

I can give you many other good examples that show you how important it is to live in peace with those who eat cooked food. Do you realize how important it is? It is simply essential! And what do we do in real life? Just the opposite. We destroy everything around us. We start wars. We annoy people with our raw food. Please make a conscious choice to live in peace with everyone around you. You can do that. And then miracles can happen. When those around you stop being afraid of your pressure, they become very cooperative. We do not have the right to control others. We do not have the right to demand others to change when they are not ready. We have no right to dictate to them what to do. On the contrary, we have the responsibility to explain to others that we do not expect them to change.
