Introduction to the C.U.R.E. Diet
The magic contained in fruits and vegetables are beyond words like love is to life. Passion for purpose and meaning in life is more essential than food. A human cannot live without love. We must give love, and in return we will get love and show love. Having gratitude for all in life will make us great and, in turn, bestow success. This is easily recognized when uniting this core belief that is shared amongst major religions and new age philosophies with your diet. When plants become your major source of food, healing is unleashed upon your body. You will heal yourself; plants (fruits and vegetables) allow you to do so.

The essence of love and gratitude as a thought towards what you are about to consume is as precious and essential as love. When love and gratitude is given to food and drink before consumption, the process empowers the food in ways we will probably never fully understand. This process changes the molecular structure in food, as studied by Dr. Emoto, a world renowned speaker and author, in The True Power of Water.
Fruits and Vegetables are best local and organic, this will ensure the food you are about to eat will encourage you to eat it as it looks delicious in your eyes. The taste of a food is often enjoyed before the food is actually placed in someone’s mouth, this can easily be observed when syllables of enjoyment are expressed when a food is close to a persons mouth. Fruits and vegetables vary drastically and a fruit can be spoiled or tart and cause resistance to eat it again. Bananas, for example, are 80% starch when they are green, and become 80% sugar when they are speckled with brown spots which indicate ripeness. A fruit with an inedible peel is usually considered ripe when it gives to the touch and the fruit restructures and does not leave an indention (when in doubt ask the person who supplied you with the fruit to learn how to visually inspect fruits), fruits with edible skin may be more firm such as an apple or peach.
To get calories in as fuel, you must have carbohydrates or your body will make a new carbohydrate (gluco-neo-genisis). This biochemical process will transform fats and proteins to sugars due to the critical process of putting glucose into the cell. Starches and all other carbohydrates break down into the simple sugar glucose to be absorbed from blood into the cell after digestion. Eating unprocessed whole foods, like legumes, grains, and fruits, provide this vital source of energy coated with vitamins and minerals in their unprocessed state.
When eating food in its purest unprocessed state, it is not cooked; it is eaten directly from the tree of the ground, and it contains much more of the 6 essential nutrients of man as so far defined by leading journals of medicine. The six essential nutrients are carbohydrate, fat, protein, vitamins, minerals, and water.
The choice is clear when eating uncooked and unprocessed food. It is possible to sprout all of the grains and eat them raw, which retains more of the six nutrients. Legumes can also be sprouted with proper instruction by books like The Sproutman. When sprouting or eating vegetables in their raw state, all of the six nutrients are abundant, except calories! It is challenging to eat the 20 pounds of produce that would make up 2,000 calories. The jump in volume is consistent when increasing the nutrient density of food, such as when abstaining from refined food and then eating less or no animal products.
In order to eat enough calories to fuel your body while eating unprocessed and uncooked food in their natural live states, fruit will provide. To eat around 2,000 calories is about 10 pounds of fruit. This is an increase in the volume of 5 pounds of refined food and animal products that base a typical American diet. This increase in bulk may make it more challenging to overeat, and in some cases not enough calories will be consumed.
2,000 calories is a base estimate as many may wish to eat less to cause more of a calorie deficit, or one may be extremely active. Your body will burn calories to fuel the basic metabolic functions like breathing and heartbeat; on average this will be about 1,200 to 2,000 calories based on size and surface area. A very active person may burn another few hundred calories, which may be as much as 50 to 100% of total calories for metabolic function (BMR).
Fat transports essential fat soluble vitamins such as vitamin A, D, E, and K along with many other essential functions such as cushioning organs. Protein is a building block of muscle in the form of amino acids which are present in all foods at different assortments. These two macronutrients have an essential function, although very little fat and protein are needed in the diet for essential and efficient health function. If you get enough calories in a variety of whole foods, you will get enough fat and protein. The addition of a handful of uncooked nuts and seeds daily provides added protein and fat to ensure needs are met and most likely exceeded.
The quality of the six nutrients is superior in plants due to their protective nature. The ever-growing science of nutrition and wellness will constantly research and develop new technologies of healing including infinite discoveries of how plant will benefit us. Many are mentioned within this book and at OrganicFitness.Org . The discovery of Phytonutrients followed the addition of vitamins and minerals as essential (to the already existing macro nutrients protein, fat, and carbohydrates) and are not yet deemed essential. Soon phytonutrients and fiber will be considered an essential nutrient. The complex balance of nutrients found in plants will always have new finds for the benefit of humans.
In short, it is not only the high amount of food we are eating; it is the lack of nutrients. We eat low on the totem pole of nutrient dense foods, which means they are calorie dense (or may be filled with chemicals to lower calories). This causes disorder and major diseases such as diabetes which is a hormonal imbalance (beta cells in the pancreas loose ability to produce insulin efficiently). When sugar (carbohydrates broken down to glucose) cannot get into the cells throughout the body, this is called insulin resistance and is the beginning of diabetes.
The root causes of this disorder and cardiovascular disease are the cholesterols and fats that we consume in lieu of dense nutrients. This is evident in the plaque formation (which is the cholesterols, fats, and refined foods binding to the arteries or nutrients passageways of the body) that causes arteriosclerosis. Consuming more of the foods that constrict and clog the flow of nutrients, giving the body less nutrients, and moving less (sedentary lifestyles) further restrict the flow of nutrients; this pattern is a self inflicted death. The constant imbalance produces acidic environments, which foster sickness and disease which fill our hospitals and plague our minds and society with depression and a lack of purpose.
Diabetes has been declared an epidemic by the United Nations. Obesity has made one third of the United States population obese. Over sixty percent of the United States is overweight. Poor nutrition is the number one reason for this as you can always consume more calories than you can burn. Lack of activity is another essential component of wellness and nutrition itself. You cannot separate athleticism from health. The transportation of vital nutrients is essential to health in many ways, and as intricate as calcium being dependent on weight bearing exercise to go into the bone (along with the synergistic effects of vitamin D and magnesium).
The simplicity of natural movements and natural foods has scientific proof to be the most effective treatment for health and longevity. Many specific works like The Blue Zone by National Geographic document this phenomenal clustering of people that withstand the epidemic proportioned sickness we live with in affluent countries. This sickness is given to cultures upon exposure to the environments of affluent cultures such as refined foods and animal products. The Dartmouth Atlas of Health documents other forms of environmental toxic exposure.
The most relevant and simple explanation and documentation of environmental health is the implication of diseases of poverty versus diseases of affluence. This documented phenomenon clearly shows how heart disease, cancer, diabetes, stroke, Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, asthma, and obesity (to name a few) are all restricted to affluent populations that have resources to eat refined foods and animal products as the base of their diet with a lack of activity. Cultures of (perceived) poverty die from communicable diseases, such as water born diseases like malaria, sexual transmitted diseases, like AIDS, and accidents.
Most countries and cultures that are studied have been shown to lose there healthy characteristics when placed in more synthetically refined environments much in the same way that eating disorders rise in countries where glossy magazines are recently introduced. When our food is altered from its natural state, it exhibits a consistent loss in healthy qualities, which has been documented in many texts that I have previously quoted and are readily available.
This 7 day fast is an experience of the true wealth you hold within. Your body can heal itself if it is not filled with toxins. Plants will assist in the cleansing of your body. Whole unprocessed and uncooked foods will benefit you most, although plenty of exceptions are usually the rule, so keep increasing the percentage of whole uncooked and unprocessed plant foods in your diet. Enjoy the transition to a whole food diet and C.U.R.E. yourself within 30 days.
