“Before understanding the power of the foods around me, I was unhealthy, unhappy and confused. Constant visits to doctors and health food stores had little effect on my deep fatigue and constant hunger. That was 30 years ago when Western nutritional science was not as advanced as it is now.
It was the 5,000 year old Chinese herbal knowledge that made the difference for me. Using specific foods and food combinations to feed specific systems and create balance brought me back to the energy and joy I had as a teenager.
Since then I learned from all cultures. The message is always the same: Food can heal. Food can be your medicine. Food has POWER!” Randy Fritz

A Revolutionary Simple Approach To Healthy Eating
Hi – you guys do such a great job. The info is great and I love the recipes, even though I haven’t tried them all I know where to get good healthy ones. Sorry I don’t always take the time to comment.
Thank you June for letting us know that you like what we do as we do love to make this place useful.
It has been 3 months that my husband and I have been choosing to eat raw. Weight and a sense of depleting energy was a strong motivator for me to keep looking despite my many attempts and being a lacto vegetarian for most of my life. Becoming vegan was a major factor along with green juices and the support of Organic Lives where we both were eating our raw food meals for a fifteen day challenge – after which we were hooked.
So I really get your first principle of food chemistry. I’ve lost 18 pounds and feel stron and energized. I also can feel my body composition changing. So hats off to you for carrying the conversation forward. I get it. And it is so much more sustainable for our planet to eat this way. No looking back for us. No craving either. We are being nourished!
I enjoy reading those things, and I do know you are right. I am a nurse with background also in nutrition, However, I came down with condtion after eating healthy, called diverticulis, no matter what I eat, bothers me. high fiber absolutely sets it off. horrible pain, cramping.
Barbara, I had a very severe digestive problem and at the best could only eat 12 foods…..and the same for me: no high fibre foods could be tolerated at that time. That does not mean that foods like brown rice and millet were not powerfoods; they just were not for me with a digestive system that did not work. Now that my digestive system has healed and is doing the job it was made for I can eat almost anything…..nothing with chemicals and that I believe is my body’s intelligence not wanting to pollute it.
