17 Seconds Abraham
says that a thought reaches a combustion point at 17 seconds of pure
undiluted focus. It draws another thought to it and it is exponentially
more powerful. At the end of another 17 seconds, 34 seconds total, the
next thought combusts, and by Law of Attraction, evolves to a higher
level of energy. Again another 17 seconds to 51 seconds continues the
process, and finally, if you can continue a pure thought for 68 seconds
on any given subject, it will be on its way to manifestation. The key
word is pure, meaning positive focus, strong energy, no resistance;
to not slip into lackful thinking. Abraham

The Most Frequently Asked Question About the Raw Food Lifestyle
Where
Do You Get Your Protein?
In
the United States and in most Westernized countries, we have been conditioned
(more like brainwashed) to believe that the body needs LOTS of protein. Meat
protein is a part of the USDA's recommended food groups. We are taught from
the earliest age that we would not be healthy without including meat protein
because it is a "complete" protein and vegetable protein is made to
look inferior because it is "incomplete". Most nutritionists also
tell us that our body needs plenty of protein because our cells are made of
protein. Some say you need half as many protein grams as your body weight, so
for a 150 lb person, 75 grams is suggested. Athletes are encouraged to eat even
more protein to build their muscles. Most nutritionists do not see a problem
with eating too much protein, only too little.
Let's observe a few facts from the school of Nature. Mother's milk is the ideal
food for babies. During the time of our greatest growth, when our body weight
doubles in just the first six months of life, Nature says that we only need
2-3% protein. So why, when our bodies are completely developed as adults would
we need so much more?
The answer is that we don't. We actually need very little protein to meet our
needs. A little known fact is that our body recycles 70% of its protein waste?
Amino acids, which are the building blocks of protein, are abundantly available
in all fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds and grains. Vegetable protein does not
have to be "complete" with all the essential amino acids, because
the body maintains an amino acid pool which provides the missing amino acid
if it is not present in the meal of the moment. To deplete the body's amino
acid pool, so that the missing amino acid would not be supplied, one would have
to be severely malnourished.
When meat protein is eaten, the body first has to do the work of breaking the
protein down to its simple amino acid form. Amino acids are what the body uses
to build the various types of proteins it needs to repair the organs and tissues.
With fruits and vegetables, the body doesn't have to do any breakdown work first,
before utilizing them. That is one of the reasons why a vegan diet using lots
of raw foods is so easy on the body.
Diets with excessive protein put stress on the kidneys and liver.
Research
published in the New England Journal of Medicine states that "undigested
protein must be eliminated by the kidneys. This unnecessary work stresses out
the kidneys so much that gradually lesions are developed and tissues begin to
harden."
In 1991, the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine created a new Four
Food Groups Guide for consumers. The four groups were fruits, vegetables, grains
and legumes. Meat, fish, poultry and dairy were listed as optional only, but
not necessary for good health.
According to Dr. Johann Schnitzer of Germany, who has been successfully treating
patients with whole, unrefined raw foods for more than 40 years, consumption
of excess protein is contributing to the proliferation of diseases such as diabetes,
heart disease, kidney disease and cancer.
High blood pressure, according to Dr. Schnitzer, is a symptom caused by a high
protein diet. On a vegan raw food diet, a person would consume much less protein
and therefore blood pressure would normalize. Aside from the experience of his
own practice, Dr. Schnitzer cites the research of Dr. Lothar Wendt, who, working
at the Elisabethen Hospital in Frankfurt, Germany, proved that an oversupply
of protein was the main cause of the pathological alterations of tissues, blood
vessels and blood, which lead to hypertension and cardiovascular diseases.
Excess protein causes physiological changes to take place in blood vessel and
capillary walls – the walls thicken. Normally, in a healthy person, these
blood vessel walls are thin, flexible tubing. When the blood vessel walls thicken,
the inside diameter narrows. In addition, the blood also becomes thicker. If
under such changed conditions the same quantity of blood must pass, Dr. Schnitzer
says that there’s only one physical way: To increase the blood pressure.
Think of it as water in a hose. A certain amount of pressure is needed to push
the water through the hose. But if, instead of water, you have something thick
in the hose, like, let’s say oatmeal gruel, then more pressure is needed
to push that through. High Blood Pressure is only the body’s intelligent
response to the physiological changes caused by protein oversupply.
High protein diets also contribute to osteoporosis because of their acidity. To be healthy a body has to maintain its blood and tissues in a slightly alkaline state. The blood must be in the range of 7.35 to 7.47; below or above, life is threatened. When there is excess acidity, the body dissolves calcium and other minerals from the bones to buffer the acidity in the blood in order to keep us alive.
In westernized countries we are more likely to be suffering from the effects of too much, as opposed to too little, protein consumption.
3) Some Encouraging News About Genetically Engineered rBGH (recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone) - It Is Hopefully Being Phased Out of Our Milk Supply Finally
From
Food and Water Watch
October, 2006
Big Wins in the Fight Against Artificial Growth Hormones
Is
recombinant bovine growth hormone (rBGH or rBST) on the way out? This weekend,
two news articles underscore how the tide has turned against artificial growth
hormones in dairy. The New York Times' notes how rBGH-free milk brands have
spread throughout the United States, with many mainstream brands banning the
hormone. Dean Foods, the largest milk processor in the United States, now has
milk processing plants that do not accept milk from hormone-treated cows. While
many dairies have yet to adopt a policy against artificial growth hormone, the
article rightly notes "[W[hen one dairy company makes the shift to rBST-free,
it puts pressure on others." From farmers to company executives, the dairy
industry points to consumer pressure (this means you) as the driving force in
this growing tide against rBGH.
As a sign of how widespread this movement is, even state agricultural officials
are criticizing the use of recombinant bovine growth hormone. "'It's like
steroids for athletes," said Stephen H. Taylor, New Hampshire's commissioner
of agriculture, in the NY Times. He goes on to say that, a dairy farmer himself,
he tried the hormone but it "put stress on his cows and made them thinner."
Adding fuel to the fire, the frontpage headline of a Vermont newspaper this
Saturday was "Vermont Ag secretary backs milk hormone ban ". The Agriculture
Secretary, Steve Kerr, said it makes sense for dairy farmers in Vermont to stop
using the hormone "because the consumer doesn't want it and it isn't going
to work." While he doesn't criticize the drug's safety, he notes that consumer
demand is paramount and Vermont dairy farmers would be wise to stop using the
hormone. Kudos to all you shoppers who choose rBGH-free dairy and help move
this industry toward healthier and more humane choices!
4) Masai Barefoot Technology
I'm probably Johnny-come-lately but I've just discovered an advanced shoe technology that exercises and tones your legs, thighs, behind and stomach (all the lower body) while you walk, and it's also reputed to reduce or eliminate cellulite. But just in case you haven't heard about it, I'm passing it on. Masai Barefoot Technology (MBT) is an athletic shoe that was developed in 1997 by Swiss Engineer Karl Mueller to ease his own back and joint pain. Recognizing that the Masai people of eastern Africa are known for their elegant posture as a result of walking barefoot on irregular natural surfaces, Mueller named his design Masai Barefoot Technology in their honor.
MBT shoes are beneficial for the whole musculo-skeletal system, improving posture, gait, flexibility and easing back pain (if you have it), by their unique construction which mimics walking on soft ground or sand, challenging your muscles to be more active. You burn more calories when you walk in MBTs and every hour that you walk in them is said to be equivalent to three hours of exercise in the gym.
Instead of creating compression with every step, the gentle, rolling action of MBT encourages a relaxed, natural stride.
It's said that these are the shoes that Hollywood actresses use to help get rid of cellulite and keep their legs toned.
Well, I just started wearing mine a few days ago, so will give a report on them in approx. 2 months. They do take some getting used to because of the curved "rolling" heel. I believe that just the effort to stay balanced on them is part of what exercises the lower body. But it was much easier the second day. After a few days you can definitely feel that the muscles of your legs are being worked. The shoes are expensive but if this works, it's the greatest thing since... raw food!!
To get more information on MBTs, put the words into a google search.
5) Mediterranean Loaf with Kalamata Olives & Sun-Dried Tomato Topping
This is a festive dish, much appreciated at raw food potlucks.
NUT AND VEGETABLE BASE:
2
cups sprouted almonds, blanced (for 7 seconds only, then plunge into cold water,
and pop the skins off)
1 1/2 cups sprouted sunflower seeds
1 cup celery (slice the celery into 1/2" pieces to cut the threads)
1/2 cup carrot
1/2 onion
2 garlic cloves
1/4 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and desalted (to desalt, soak overnight in distilled
water, drain and rinse)
1 handful basil
Celtic sea salt, to taste
1)
First, put the sun-dried tomatoes to soak so they will be ready by the time
you get to the topping.
2) Next, put all the ingredients above, except the Celtic sea salt, through
a Champion or Green Power juicer with the blank (homogenizer) in place. Season,
blend well and set aside.
SUN-DRIED TOMATO TOPPING:
1
1/2 cups sun-dried tomatoes, soaked 1-2 hours in 1 cup of celery juice. You
could also soak the sun-dried tomatoes in filtered water
2 tbsp. olive oil (extra-virgin)
1 garlic clove
a few leaves of basil
handful of Kalamata olives
for garnish: Kalamata olives and parsley
3)
Blend the topping ingredients in a food processor with the "S" blade,
adding just enough water to make a thick paste-like sauce.
4) On a large flat plate spread out the nut and vegetable base about 1/2 inch
thick. Frost the top with the Sun-Dried Tomato Topping and garnish artistically
with minced Kalamata olives, and finely chopped parsley.
Serves 6-8. Keeps for 3 days in the refrigerator.
