Raw Food and Juice's Amazing Healing Power - part 1 of 2

Raw Food and Juice's Amazing Healing Power - part 1 of 2: "Most human illnesses and diseases are due to a deficiency of vital nutrients. When you supply your body with the proper nutrients, in a form that your body can use, it knows how to repair itself. 'The body has the inherent ability -the vitality -not only to heal itself and restore health, but also to ward off disease. Illness is not caused simply by an invasion of external agents or germs, but is a manifestation of the organism's attempt to defend and heal itself. Prevention Is the Best Cure. Health is a reflection of how we choose to live.' TC Fry"

ENZYMES: The tiny and enormous difference between raw and cooked foods

Virtually all chronic degenerative diseases are caused or aggravated by digestive problems.

This is no mystery: This is the gastro-intestinal tract, affectionately abbreviated 'GI.'
