Per Dr. Christopher:
Because of the years of improper eating, the body is now suffering from malnutrition. This is because food is not being assimilated, causing starvation of the bodies cells. It is not the amount of food that has been eaten matters, but the quality and how well it has been assimilated. We may take a healthy quantity of food into our bodies, but only that which has been properly assimilated can be utilized for rebuilding and repairing cells and malfunctioning areas. Proper assimilation is acquired by drinking the solid foods and chewing the liquid food. This is an old and true axiom. What this means is we should thoroughly chew our solid foods which mixes the saliva with the food until it becomes liquid, and then we drink it. The liquid foods must be swished (or chewed) in the mouth, then swallowed. The saliva thoroughly mixed with the foods is the key that opens up the doors of digestion. Without mixing saliva with the food, the balance of the digestive juices are not activated for good assimilation. By gulping or inhaling our food without properly mixing saliva with it, we get only eight to ten percent of its value. By properly chewing, we can raise this to forty or forty-five percent. The remainder is generally cellulose or indigestible fiber. We not only receive better health but also save money. Food is one of our largest expenditures. If we can get four to six times better assimilation and use four to six times less food, we are saving a lot of money! By this simple method alone, which gives better assimilation, we gain superior health and a happier life. With one fourth or one third of the food we have been used to eating, we can receive much more power and energy. Remember, a large part of attaining good health results from chewing both solid foods and liquid food.
Amen!

Hi Unyquity,
I'm so glad I'm here, every time I come to this forum I either learn something new and thats been loads of new stuff for me but I've also read about things like this article that I needed to be reminded of.
"Because of the years of improper eating, the body is now suffering from malnutrition. This is because food is not being assimilated, causing starvation of the bodies cells."
I know this has to be the case with me, my poor body wasn't assimilating much of anything, especially before I started cleaning it out.
"This is an old and true axiom. What this means is we should thoroughly chew our solid foods which mixes the saliva with the food until it becomes liquid, and then we drink it. The liquid foods must be swished (or chewed) in the mouth, then swallowed. The saliva thoroughly mixed with the foods is the key that opens up the doors of digestion. Without mixing saliva with the food, the balance of the digestive juices are not activated for good assimilation. By gulping or inhaling our food without properly mixing saliva with it, we get only eight to ten percent of its value."
This is what really caught my attention in the article. How many times have we gulped down a meal because we were in a hurry? I know its hundreds of times for me, probably more like thousands LOL. I can't remember but I think my mother taught me to chew each bite something like 50 times, well I did that as a child but when I got out on my own life took over and I was always in a rush. I don't think a lot of people realize just how important completely chewing our food is. I used to know but I'm glad you reminded me of this very important tiny little thing we can do to improve our health.
I learned a trick several years ago, Id like to share because it really does work. It has more to do with losing weight than health but it could address health issues too if we overeat, even if a person is thin. When you eat a meal start out with a small amount then wait 20 minutes and see if you're still hungry, nine times out of ten you won't be hungry and won't need to eat any more. But I bet we probably wouldn't have to use this trick if we we're masticating our food properly because the meal would take longer to eat which would give our brains time to figure out we're full.
Thank you for reminding me Uny, once I start on solid foods again I'll be sure to remember this pearl of wisdom.

That was a GREAT tip/reminder: When you eat a meal start out with a small amount then wait 20 minutes and see if you're still hungry, nine times out of ten you won't be hungry and won't need to eat any more. But I bet we probably wouldn't have to use this trick if we we're masticating our food properly because the meal would take longer to eat which would give our brains time to figure out we're full. ...and oh SO true!

Ruhroh, Rastro ...and here you thought you were "off the hook" since you're juicing!
There are somewhere around EIGHT different digestive enzymes in the saliva, and we create up to a pint and a half of saliva for every 'meal' we eat. On Dr. Christopher's "first" IP, he subscribed to the healing protocol of Johanna Brandt and her 'grape diet'...so his patient ate nothing but grapes & grape juice. Later he changed his IP to be a full week of carrot juice, then a full week of apple juice, followed by a third week of grape juice. (We use a more balanced juicing regime, per Dr. Schulze/Gerson)
But how can that BE? Cancer thrives on sugar and many of his patients were diabetic or hypoglycemic. Grape juice is particularly LADEN with sugar!. #1 Cancer thrives on white/processed sugar; and #2 (likely even more importantly), ALL of his diabetic & hypoglycemic patients had no problematic alterations in blood sugar IF they thoroughly 'chewed their juices'! So, the digestive enzymes in the saliva broke down the sugar in the juices enough NOT to adversely affect the blood sugar. WOW.Just THINK how much more nutrition we'll be assimilating (and how much smoother our digestive system will operate) if we actually USE the digestive enzymes with which we've been endowed.
Hmmm, whoever designed our bodies sure knew what they was a doin', eh? :::grin::: Too bad we humans have such a HORRIBLY difficult time letting go of our egos & intellects and just sticking with basic 'form & function'. ::::sigh:::: Like my mother-in-law is forever saying, "Well, we'll do it 'till we don't!"
Drink your solids & chew your juices! :)Blessings aplently -
