The Lion Who Would Not Eat Meat!

Earlier this century, a female African lion, born
and raised in America, lived her entire lifetime
of nine years without ever eating meat.

Why?

Read Genesis 1:30, and you will have your answer.

"And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl
of the air, and to everything that creepeth upon
the earth, wherein there is life, I have given
every GREEN HERB for meat: and it was so."'

From the beginning, we were designed to be
vegetarians or even better alkalarians - this
also includes all animals. Every living thing
that has the breath of life and moves on
this earth is alkaline by design, however acidic
by function. Eating the flesh and blood of other
animals was first introduced by the Babylonians
and is highly acidic to our body and destroys our
alkaline design. This is also true with animals.
When we started eating meat they started eating
meat. When we stop eating meat they will stop
eating meat.

The most loving of animals that I have had the
privilege of working with have never tasted the
flesh and blood of another animal. They love their
green herbs, like broccoli. These vegetarian or no
longer or never eating meat animals are strong
healthy and smart. Being strong, healthy and smart
is a promise to ALL who will eat green foods and
forsake the eating of animal flesh and blood.

We have a vivid reminder of the prophecies of Isaiah 11:7
and 65:25, which states, '...the lion will eat straw like
the ox.'

The day will soon come when the lion will lay down with
the lamb in love and peace. This will happen when we
lead by example by NOT eating the lamb. When we stop
eating the flesh and blood of other animals then the
animals will stop eating the flesh and blood of other
animals.

As Gandhi so elegantly stated, "we must be the change
we want of see."

In love and healing light,

The Most Common Cause of Vision Loss

The carbohydrates present in a diet can influence
the risk of age-related macular degeneration (AMD),
the most common cause of vision loss in older adults,
according to a report in the American Journal of
Clinical Nutrition.

"AMD appears to share several carbohydrate-related
mechanisms and risk factors with diabetes-related
diseases, including (eye) and cardiovascular disease,"
write Dr. Allen Taylor, of Tufts University, Boston,
and colleagues. "However, to date, only one small
study has addressed this issue."

To investigate further, the researchers conducted a
study of 4,099 participants, aged 55 to 80 years,
in the Age-Related Eye Disease Study.

The team classified a total of 8,125 eyes into one
of five AMD groups based on the severity of the
dis-ease and other factors.

Regular consumption of a diet with a high-glycemic
index -- a diet containing carbs (acidic grains, pasta,
high sugar fruits) that quickly raise blood sugar
levels -- significantly increased the risk of AMD
relative to regular consumption of a diet with a
low-glycemic index (alkalizing low sugar fruits
and vegetables).

The researchers calculate that 20 percent of AMD
cases could have been prevented if subjects had
consumed diets with a low-glycemic index.

"The eyes are 97% to 98% water and are very sensitive
to acidic water and foods. Using alkaline drops
such as a 1% saline solution in the eyes can be
very helpful in buffering localized acidity in the
eyes," states Robert O. Young, Ph.D.

"If you want healthy eyes you must maintain the
alkaline design of your body fluids by reducing
dietary and metabolic acids with the four
foundational food groups:

1) Alkaline water at 9.5 pH

2) 9 to 12 servings of alkaline vegetables and fruits

http://www.phmiracleliving.com/phruits.htm

3) Liquid mineral salts, and

4) Healthy long chain poly-unsaturated fats."

The Sun May Decrease Acidity that Leads to Breast Cancer

Staying out of the sun may prevent the crystallization
of acids on the skin causing cancer and wrinkles, but
it may also be increasing a woman's risk of developing
breast cancer.

A new study found that the lower the levels of
vitamin D in a woman's blood stream, the greater
her risk of developing cancerous breasts if she
is past menopause. Since most vitamin D comes
from sunlight on exposed skin being converted
into vitamin D, avoiding the sun may be setting
up older women for cancerous breasts.

Researchers from Creighton University in Omaha, Neb.,
studied 1,179 healthy women, ages 55 and older.
They were divided into groups and given either
supplements of calcium and vitamin D, calcium alone,
or a placebo. At the end of four years, the women
who took calcium and vitamin D had less than half
the risk of developing breast cancer than those who
took a placebo.

When women who developed cancerous breasts during the
first year of the study were eliminated, since they
probably had cancer that was present but undetected
when the study began, the results were even more
impressive. The rate of breast cancer in the group
taking both calcium and vitamin D was reduced by
more than three quarters.

Researchers said their findings underscored the
importance of keeping high levels of vitamin D in
the body. But so many women avoid the sun out of
fear of wrinkles and skin cancer, many aren't getting
the levels of vitamin D their body needs for optimum
health.

Cedric Garland of the University of California at
San Diego suggests that women should get 10 to 15
minutes of sun exposure daily without sunscreen as
well as take additional supplements to make sure
they are getting adequate amounts of vitamin D.

If you are spending more then 10 to 15 minutes a day
in the sun you may want to increase your alkaline
fruits and vegetables and reduce your acidic foods and
drinks, especially animal proteins, dairy, grains and
alcohol. This will help reduce the dietary acid load
coming through the pores of the skin that can interact
with the rays of the sun causing wrinkles and cancerous
skin.

To increase your alkaline fruits and vegetables may
I suggest supplementing with pHruits and pHolage.

http://www.phmiracleliving.com/phruits.htm

You can also protect your skin from acidic residues
interacting with the rays of the sun by using
Young pHorever pHilter Products. Dr. Robert O.
Young has developed a sunscreen product that
will also moisturize the skin and also provide
Vitamin D topically.

The pH Miracle Lifestyle and Diet Can Change Your Life

Plagued by a stubborn roll of belly fat that just
won't disappear no matter how hard you diet?

Worn down by the daily grind of life, but your
doctor only issues the standard "eat less,
exercise more, and get more sleep" advice?

Maybe you need to take a long hard look at the
pH Miracle Living Lifestyle and Diet Plan.

It's not really a diet at all in the usual sense,
but more of a change in the types of foods eaten.
The idea behind it is to eliminate foods high in
acid like animal protein and dairy, and metabolic
acids like lactic acid, estrogen and testosterone
which causes the body to retain fat to buffer those
dietary and metabolic acids.

Today scientists are concerned about the acidic
effects of the acid estrogen (an acidic waste
product from glandular function) on the health and
well-being of the body.

"Estrogen dominance is believed to be responsible
for age-related weight gain and metabolic disorders
in both men and women," Hofmekler says. In addition,
he says estrogen dominance has put the human race in
deadly danger.

As a species, Hofmekler says, we're on the fast track
to extinction. In the past 50 years, sperm counts in
men have dropped 50 percent, while the average man's
testosterone and sperm count has plummeted 20 percent
in just the last 20 years.

Women are no better off, Hofmekler says, citing
figures showing that one-third of women who are now
between 35 and 60 years old will develop breast cancer.

"If the human species were an animal, zoologists would
look at us and say, ‘This species is about to become
extinct. Something is seriously wrong. Let's see what
can be done.'"

The health crisis facing humans is obvious in high
rates of cardiovascular disease, arthritis, diabetes,
and obesity. Indeed, one recent study found that by
2015 — less than a decade away — 75 percent of Americans
will be overweight.

The main reason, says Hofmekler, is too much estrogen.
If you think you can't possibly be eating foods loaded
with estrogens, think again. "Most conventional food
is estrogenic." Meat and dairy products are laced with
acidic hormones, and vegetables and fruits are drenched
in pesticides. Once inside the body, all mimic estrogen,
the female hormone that causes estrogen disorders,
including breast cancer in women. It virtually castrates
men.

Synthetic acid forms, called xenoestrogens, are
industrial derivatives and are found in the air,
cleaning products, lotions and shampoos, water,
and foods. Natural estrogens, called phytoestrogens,
occur naturally in common foods, herbs, and extracts.
When the two are combined in the human body, as they
are in today's modern society, they overwhelm the
system.

Dr. Russell Blaylock, noted neurosurgeon and author of
"The Blaylock Report," agrees. "Hofmekler is absolutely
correct when he says that all of us are being exposed to
large amounts of estrogenic compounds which are wrecking
havoc with our hormone levels," he said. "Studies show
that xenoestrogens from plastics appear to cause
premature menses in young girls. Soy isoflavones
appear to increase aggressiveness and heighten
antisocial behavior in monkeys and appear to feminize
male animals.

"As he points out, obesity also raises estrogen levels.
I think the dramatic increase in benign breast disease
(fibrocystic disease) as well as some breast cancers,
is the result of too much estrogen.

Although the foods we eat have changed — from seeds,
nuts, beans, fish, and fruits to heavily processed
foods filled with acidic additives — our bodies have
not!

"We have never adapted to such a surplus of estrogen
in our food, so we're slowly eating ourselves into
extinction. "That's the bad news," says Hofmekler.
"The good news is that man has an amazing survival
mechanisms that have helped him survive incredibly
hard conditions such as famine, plague, and moving
from one area of the world to another. "But our
survival mechanisms are not being triggered today
because we live in a world that is totally different
from the rugged world our bodies are adapted to.
Instead, they remain dormant."

The key to triggering your body's survival mechanisms
is to adopt an anti-estrogenic diet or The pH Miracle
Living Lifestyle and Diet. This is not an ordinary diet.
Most diets are restrictive and don't offer real solutions
because they don't take the effects of estrogenic foods
into account. In addition, many diet products contain
processed soy and other estrogen-promoting ingredients
that leave our bodies bloated and sick.

The pH Miracle Living Lifestyle and Diet is simple and
delicious. It has three main points:

* Eat down on the food chain. Eat foods that are
more in tune with our genetic makeup such as alkaline
fruits, vegetables, sprouts, roots, long-chain
poly-unsaturated fat, nut milks and sprouted seeds.

* Minimize foods treated with chemicals. Eat as
much organic food as possible, and avoid synthetic
vitamins.

* Supplement your diet with nutrients that support
the alkaline design of the body. The flavones chrysin,
apigenine, quercetin, and narigenin all inhibit acids,
the indoles: indole 3 carbinol, diindolymethane (DIM),
and indole 3 acetate, as well as the peptides including
the most powerful of all glutathione.

http://www.phmiracleliving.com/glutathione.htm

The pH Miracle Lifestyle and Diet consists of a
twelve-week jump start program. The two to four weeks
is a skin, bowel, liver, kidney and lung detoxification
program that will cleanse the skin, bowel, liver,
kidney and lung and enhance their functioning to
create an alkaline environment that will allow your
body to efficiently eliminate dietary and metabolic
acids. This will equate into more energy!

The pH Miracle Living Lifestyle and Diet relies on
fresh alkaline green fruits and vegetables (heavy on
crucifers such as broccoli), and prepares the body to
switch from fuel based on carbohydrates, fats and
proteins to fuel based on the electrons or electrical
potential of foods. "Most people can tell a difference
in three days," says Robert O. Young, Ph.D., D.Sc.

Far from being a calorie-curbing, austere diet, the pH
Miracle Lifestyle and Diet offers possibilities for a
variety of delicious foods that probably include your
favorite dishes — with a few substitutions. For example,
substituting butter with organic cold-pressed olive
oil or hemp oil changes an ingredient from estrogenic
or acidic to anti-estrogenic or anti-acidic. And
regardless of your ethnic background, anti-acidic foods
fit right in. "Generally, any ethnic recipe based on
fresh vegetables or cooked crucifiers is anti-acidic
and anti-estrogenic," says Young, whose website,

www.phmiracleliving.com or

www.articlesofhealth.blogspot.com,

provides more information on the pH Miracle Living
Lifestyle and Diet.

Be patient, says Young, and even the most acidic fat,
including acid-estrogen-sensitive belly fat, will
eventually melt away.

New! Young pHorever Sun pHun Products

Despite increased education on becoming sun smart,
the incidence of skin cancer appears to be rising.

According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, more than
600,000 new cases of skin cancer are diagnosed each
year, and the figure is rising. Skin cancer is the
most common cancer in the United States and is
responsible for 8,500 deaths annually.

A hypothesis for this phenomenon are two-fold:

1) Most people have acidic skin with a pH of below
5. The radiation from the sun reacts with the acids
on the skin causing acid crystals and damage to the
skin cells leading to cancer,

and,

2) Harmful acidic chemicals lurking in cosmetics and
sunscreens are reacting with the radiation of the sun
damaging the cells of the skin leading to skin cancer.

International studies found the greatest rise in
melanoma occurred in countries where chemical
sunscreens are heavily promoted.

Robert O. Young, Ph.D., states that, "commercially
available cosmetics, lotions and sunscreens might
damage people's skin when it reacts with radiation
from the sun."

The Environmental Working Group's (EWG) in the
June 2007 study where 785 sunscreens were analyzed
showed that 84 percent provided inadequate protection
from the sun's radiation or contained ingredients
with safety concerns.

That is not the case with the all natural Young
pHorever Sun Screen with pure essential oil of
Citronella which contains no harmful ingredients.

Some experts suggest that many sunscreen formulas
may be cancer causing. The harmful chemicals identified
include allergy-creating PABA, benzophenone-3,
homosalate, octyl-methoxycinnamate (OMC) and
4-methyl-benzylidene camphor (4-MBC). While these
chemicals protect skin from sun damage, experts have
indicated the chemical octyl methoxycinnamate, which
is present in 90 percent of sunscreen brands, was
found to kill mouse cells even at low doses.

Recent studies on childhood illnesses linked these
findings to a possible cause of ADHD, asthma and
allergies.

Some sunscreen ingredients also change estrogen
levels in the body affecting DNA and causing cell
damage by creating an abundance of hydrogen ions
or acids.

As a result of these astonishing findings and
increased consumer demand, Dr. Young has created
a naturally derived sunscreen range which has no
harmful ingredients for longevity, fragrance or
moisturising purposes. Young pHorever Sun Screen
products consist of powerful antioxidants such as
Tea Tree Oil and Grapefruit Seed extract; Apricot Oil,
Avocado Oil, Almond Oil and colloidal Titanium and
Zinc to fight environmental stressors; moisturizing
and skin-conditioning oils; and vitamin E to assist
with skin reconstruction at a cellular level.

This combination of ingredients is suitable for
all skin types and will help combat the signs of
photo-aging.

The Young pHorever Sun pHun Screen range is a result
of extensive research and development and features a
new formula that is non-greasy, gentle, hydrating
and moisturising.

The Young pHorever Sun pHun Products include: SPF 15,
and SPF 30+, and in October 2007: Baby, Sport,
Lip Sunscreen, Sport Lip Sunscreen, and
Sun & Body Oil.

In addition to being naturally derived, the Young
pHorever Sun pHun products have been tested and proven
to have a sensitivity rating of zero which makes
them ideal for all skin types.

Young pHorever Sun pHun products are cruelty free
and stringently adhere to Food and Drug Administration
requirements.

Smoking Pot Is 5 Times More Acidic Then Smoking 1 Cigarette

Smoking one cannabis joint is as harmful to a
person's lungs as having up to five cigarettes,
according to research published on Tuesday.

Those who smoked cannabis damaged both the lungs'
small fine airways, used for transporting oxygen,
and the large airways, which blocked air flow,
the researchers said.

It meant cannabis smokers complained of wheezing,
coughing, and chest tightness, the study by experts
at the Medical Research Institute of New Zealand
found.

The researchers tested 339 people — those who
smoked only cannabis, those who smoked tobacco,
those who smoked both and non-smokers.

The study found only those who smoked tobacco
suffered from the crippling lung disease emphysema,
but cannabis use stopped the lungs working properly.

"The extent of this damage was directly related to
the number of joints smoked, with higher consumption
linked to greater incapacity," said the authors of
the report published in the medical journal Thorax.

"The effect on the lungs of each joint was equivalent
to smoking between 2.5 and five cigarettes in one go."

The British government is considering whether cannabis
should be reclassified as a more serious drug because
of the dangers associated with stronger strains.

"The danger cannabis poses to respiratory health is
consistently being overlooked," said Helena Shovelton,
Chief Executive of the British Lung Foundation.

"Smoking a joint is more harmful to the lungs than
smoking a cigarette and we have just banned people
from doing that in public places because of the health
risks."

Last week British researchers said using marijuana
increased the risk of developing a psychotic illness
such as schizophrenia.

"Smoking a joint will use up the alkaline reserves of
the body and create systemic latent tissue acidosis."

"The best advise I can give to protect the body and
especially the lungs from an acute or chronic acidic
dis-ease is not smoke pot! It is 5 times more
acidic then smoking one cigarette," states
Robert O. Young, D.Sc., Ph.D.
