By
any standard, the average Western diet is woefully inadequate for the
purpose of supplying sufficient nutrients to provide for optimum health
in today's world. The health of those who consume the average Western
diet is being destroyed, but this is nothing new. Degenerative diseases
are rampant, and we have an epidemic in adult-onset diabetes, sometimes
affecting children age ten, and under, and life-threatening infectious
diseases for which there are no treatments.
In the 1930s, Dr.
Clive McCay, a well-known and sometimes controversial Cornell
University Professor of Nutrition, and researcher, made a momentous
discovery — by feeding laboratory animals a low-calorie diet rich in
minerals, vitamins and protein, he could retard the onset of old age
and dramatically increase the animals’ longevity. His research
attracted the attention of New York state officials, who asked him to
help improve the diets of the state’s mental patients. McCay developed
a highly nutritious bread made with soy flour, wheat germ, wheat flour
and dry milk, acclaimed by The New York Times as the “Do-good Loaf.”
Dr. McCay warned, "the overeating of refined foods is the only form of
suicide tolerated by our customs, even though it is painful and
torturous. There is mounting evidence that civilization has tricked us.
Man has so tampered with our foods, either by food-robbery or
adulteration, that eating these deficient foods may bring us many
health problems."
Between 1932 and 1942, an experiment was
conducted by Dr. Francis M. Pottenger, Jr., MD. Dr. Pottenger was
dedicated to the cause of preventing chronic illness, and was
interested in the relationship between diet and health. His study
involved some 900 healthy cats and he chose to study the effects of a
raw diet vs a cooked diet. Dr. Pottenger found that only diets
containing raw milk and raw meat produced optimal health: good bone
structure and density, wide palates with plenty of space for teeth,
shiny fur, no parasites or disease, reproductive ease and gentle
natured cats. Cooking the meat or substituting heat processed milk for
raw milk resulted in heterogeneous reproduction and physical
degeneration, increasing with each generation. This early study made
significant contributions to the understanding of the day of the role
of nutrition in maintaining good health. The changes Pottenger observed
in cats on the deficient diets paralleled the human degeneration found
in tribes that had abandoned traditional diets. What Pottenger's
research clearly demonstrated was that even one generation of processed
food had powerful effects on following generations
Since the
post World War II discovery that nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium,
left over in large quantities from the war-time explosives industry,
could be used as fertilizer to produce enormous crop yields,
agriculture has departed radically from traditional, natural farming
practices, and we have been "guinea pigs" in a vast experiment on the
effects of highly industrialized living. Since then, our soils have
become progressively depleted of minerals which are vital to human
metabolism. The need for hybrid strains of plants that could adapt to
the chemicals have left us with constitutionally weaker strains that
have become more susceptible to insects, fungus and weed overgrowth,
which in turn, had required powerful insecticides, fungicides and
herbicides, most of which are synthesized from petroleum, and are toxic
to both animal and human life.
One of the first warnings about
modern agribusiness came in the early 50's from Rachel Carlson's book,
Silent Spring, yet, to this very day, the destructive practices of
agribusiness continue to wreck havoc with the health of nearly every
American, and others living in Western societies. Dwight McKee, a
medical doctor and research consultant, has noted, "The ancient
Egyptians perfected the embalming of the body; modern corporate
scientists have perfected the embalming of human food." It's accurate
to say that most of the food consumed today in Western societies is
chemically grown, denatured, enzyme and nutrient poor, highly
processed, refined, chemical-laced, and/or over-cooked. On top of all
that, we face yet another threat to our well-being, one that former FDA
Commissioner, Dr. David Kessler referred to as "a major challenge for
the future", that of contamination. Food-borne diseases affect millions
of Americans, and thousands die, every year. While it may be said that
our bodies are so wonderfully made that, in many cases, they seem to be
able to run on just about any fuel for a long time, but eventually the
accumulated health insults result in one or more of the degenerative
diseases that are rampant, and largely unchecked in our present world.
In 1981, C. Everett Koop, former US Surgeon General, said, "75 percent
of deaths in America are nutrition-related," and that certainly hasn't
improved any since then.
Dr. Paavo Airola, Ph. D., considered to
be America's foremost nutritionist, and one of the world's leading
exponent of biological medicine, has been quoted as saying,
"Those who advocate eating natural foods as the only source of vitamins
and minerals live in a dream world of yesterday. Yesterday's law is
today's folly. You simply can't eat enough to get the nutrition you
need to thrive in today's environment." Although awareness of good
nutrition has risen in the past few decades, fast food and junk foods
are still the staple of many people’s diets. Even the 'healthy'
vegetables we occasionally eat are usually grown in low quality,
chemically fertilized soils, and the beneficial enzymes are destroyed
through cooking. Current nutritional guidelines recommend consuming 4
to 9 servings of fruits and vegetables every day; most people eat only
1-2, even if you include the french fries. Moreover, even if
nutritional supplements are taken, most vitamin and mineral supplements
contain synthetic and inorganic nutrients, whose absorption and
utilization is questionable, and do not supply any of the hundreds of
enzymes and nutrients found to be naturally occurring in concentrated
whole food sources.
Another unfortunate side effect of the
average Western, unhealthy diet is what it does to our bodies’
acid-alkaline balance. Our body's pH must be kept at a slightly
alkaline level in order to preserve optimal health. When it falls below
this slightly alkaline level (7.2 to 7.4), virtually all cellular
functions are affected. If the pH deviates too far to the acid side,
cell metabolism will stop, and as connective tissue cells become
poisoned in their own toxic wastes, these cells will die. The average
American diet is very acid-forming in the body, which leads to ill
health, mineral imbalances and deficiencies, fatigue, and even more
serious conditions. Fast foods, sodas, sugar and heavy meat consumption
all tend to put the body dangerously on the acid side. Along with
transitioning to a healthier diet, supplementing with a high quality
vegetarian whole food complex can bring the body into a healthier
alkaline balance.
Beyond Greens is the first complete
oxygen-enhanced land and sea greens formula, super-charged with living
nutrients and enzymes. This oxygen-enhanced formula energizes and
alkalizes the system, improves the intestinal environment, and helps to
cleanse and deodorize the body. This unique and powerful blend of
natural, organic ingredients provides the elements of life, itself.
One
of the key components of Beyond Greens is chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is
the green pigment in plants that channels the energy of sunlight into
chemical energy through the process of photosynthesis. The structure of
chlorophyll closely resembles that of hemoglobin, the iron-containing
pigment found in the red blood cells that transports oxygen to all the
cells of the body. Dr. Bernard Jensen, the famous naturopathic
practitioner, points out in his book The Healing Power of Chlorophyll,
that chlorophyll is able to remove toxic pesticide and drug residues
from the body, as well as to bind with radioactive materials and remove
them.
Some of the major benefits of high chlorophyll consumption listed in Dr. Jensen's book are:
• Maintains body's pHbalance
• Detoxifies the blood
• Relieves bad breathand body odor
• Improves insomnia
• Functions as anti-oxidant
• Revitalizes and activates body cells
• Removes mucus | • Improves thyroid
• Increases red bloodcells
• Promotes healthy circulation
• Enhances metabolism
• Helps retard the aging process
• Strengthens defenses
• Improves digestion |
NOTICE:
The United States Department of Agriculture's National Organic Program
regulates the standards for any farm, wild crop harvesting, or handling
operation that wants to sell an agricultural product as organically
produced. The National Organic Program and the Organic Foods Production
Act are intended to assure consumers that the organic foods they
purchase are produced, processed, and certified to be consistent with
national organic standards. Organic farming systems rely on
ecologically based practices such as cultural and biological pest
management, exclusion of all synthetic chemicals, antibiotics, and
hormones in crop and livestock production. When a product says
"Certified Organic," that means something very exclusive and special.
Allicin Center's Beyond Greens contains the following healthful ingredients:
Certified
Organic Barley Grass: Certified Organic Barley Grass is a major
component of Beyond Greens, and is regarded as being one of the most
nutritious of all plant foods, containing a broad spectrum of essential
vitamins, minerals and amino acids in high concentrations. In its
natural state, it also contains thousands of enzymes which play an
important role in the metabolism of the body. One of these enzymes is
the cellular antioxidant superoxide dismutase (SOD), which helps
detoxify the body from chemicals and heavy metals. Research has shown
that SOD can even restore function and repair DNA in older and less
active cells.
The following enzymes have been identified in green barley:
•Aspartate aminotransferase
•Catalase
•Cytochrome oxidase
•Dnase
•Fatty acid oxidase Hexokinase
•Malic dehydrogenase
•Nitrate reductase
•Nitrogen oxyreductase | •Peroxidase catalase
•Phosphatase
•Phospholipase
•Polyphenoloxidase
•Rnase
•Superoxide dismutase
•Transhydrogenase
|
Very
few plants contain the full range of amino acids (the building blocks
of proteins) required for growth, repair and maintenance of tissue.
Young green barley leaves are 40 per cent protein. These plant proteins
are 90 per cent usable and easily digested and assimilated.
The following amino acids and related compounds have been identified in green barley:
•Alanine
•Amide
•Arginine
•Aspartic acid
•Cystine
•Glutamic acid
•Glycine
•Histidine
•Isoleucine
•Leucine | •Lysine
•Methionine
•Phenylalanine
•Proline
•Purines
•Serine
•Threonine
•Tryptophan
•Tyrosine
•Valine |
Certified
Organic Wheat Grass & Certified Organic Kamut Grass The Certified
Organic Wheat Grass & Certified Organic Kamut Grass in Beyond
Greens have very similar properties to the Certified Organic Barley
Grass. Wheat Grass has long been regarded as practically a fountain of
youth, and thousands of testimonials over a period of several decades
of consumption have attributed to it almost miraculously powerful
health benefits. Wheat Grass is truly one of the best cleansing,
healing and protecting superfoods that can be consumed. Kamut is
generally regarded as a grain that is the purest and therefore, least
allergy-inducing wheat on the market. Kamut is a strain of wheat that
was brought to the United States as a non-hybrid seed. It has remained
unchanged or tainted by "man," which is the reason for its
exceptionally high nutritional value. Both wheat grasses and Kamut, are
high in Chlorophyll, active enzymes, vitamins and other important
nutrients.
Certified Organic Hawaiian Spirulina: Certified
Organic Hawaiian Spirulina is another powerhouse super whole food
component of Beyond Greens. This tiny aquatic plant is a blue-green
microalgae, and contains 60% protein, essential vitamins and
phytonutrients such as the antioxidant beta carotene, the rare
essential fatty acid GLA, sulfolipids, glycolipids and polysaccharides.
Its deep green color comes from its rainbow of natural pigments that
harvest the sun's energy - chlorophyll (green), phycocyanin (blue) and
carotenoids (orange). The nutrients in Spirulina are easy-to-digest and
rapidly absorbed. The beta carotene in Spirulina is ten times more
concentrated than the beta carotene in carrots. Beta carotene is an
antioxidant pigment precursor to vitamin A that supports the body's
defenses. Spirulina is also rich in Gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), an
essential fatty acid that is also supplied in mother's milk, and
promotes the development of healthy babies. GLA is also essential for
the health and support of many of the body’s systems and tissues,
including the immune, endocrine, skin and mucous membranes. Spirulina
is also rich in iron, magnesium and trace minerals, vitamin B12 which
is essential for healthy nerves and tissues, numerous beneficial
polysaccharides, sulfolipids & glycolipids, as well as the rainbow
of natural pigments that give spirulina it's deep green color.
Apple
Pectin: Apple Pectin in the diets of humans and lab animals, has been
shown to increase the excretion of lipids, cholesterol and bile acids,
and reduce serum cholesterol levels. Apple pectin has also been found
to be useful in maintaining healthy blood sugar levels.
Soynatto:
Soynatto is a soy product that is produced through a unique and
proprietary fermentation process that yields a superior whole soy food
with enhanced bio-availability and digestibility. . Soynatto supplies
the clinically studied soy isoflavones, genistein and daidzein, along
with the added benefits of beta glucan. Isoflavones are a class of
plant estrogens that can help preserve the skeletal structure by
inhibiting bone resorption. Isoflavones also have antioxidant
properties that can protect the cardiovascular system. Beta
glucan, another component of Soynatto, activates an immunoreceptor in
the macrophages (a type of white immune cell), which in turn triggers a
general stimulation to the rest of the immune system which makes it
more effective at protecting our health and well-being.
Chlorella:
Chlorella is a green, single cell fresh water algae about the size of a
human white blood cell. Chlorella contains more chlorophyll per
gram than any other plant. Chlorella is also rich in protein, vitamins,
minerals, "C.G.F." (Chlorella Growth Factor) and other beneficial
substances. Chlorella strengthens body cells by supporting the
functioning of our metabolic pathways. In studies, Chlorella was added
to the diet of mice with 'fatty livers.' and over an extended period
there was a marked reduction in this fatty condition. Those mice that
were injected with cancer cells showed a higher resistance to this
challenge if they had been fed with Chlorella. Another test showed that
Chlorella Growth Factor (C.G.F.) will improve their resistance to
abdominal tumors and increase the number of immune cells in the
abdominal cavity. Chlorella can promote cell reproduction, reduce
cholesterol, increase hemoglobin levels and strengthen immune system
response. Since Chlorella is such a broad-spectrum product, it can help
to support and repair organs and tissues that have been injured by a
variety of causes. Chlorella is also a powerful detoxification aid for
heavy metals and pesticides. Chlorella's fibrous, indigestible outer
shell material has been proven in numerous studies in the US and Europe
to actually bind with the heavy metals and pesticides which can
accumulate in our bodies ( persistent hydrocarbon and metallic toxins
such as mercury, cadmium and lead, DDT and PCB). This detoxification of
heavy metals and other chemical toxins in the blood will take 3 to 6
months to build up enough to begin this process, depending on how much
Chlorella a person is taking. Since Chlorella is a food, it is almost
impossible to ingest too much of it. It is also this fibrous material
which greatly augments healthy digestion and overall digestive track
health. Chlorella's cleansing action on the bowel and other elimination
channels, as well as its protection of the liver, helps keep the blood
clean. A clean bloodstream, with an abundance of red blood cells to
carry oxygen, is necessary to a strong natural defense system.
Clean blood insures that metabolic wastes are efficiently carried away
from the tissues.
Dulse: Dulse is an edible sea vegetable that
is rich in more than 20 minerals, of which 14 are medicinal. Harvested
from the cold North Atlantic, it is high in iron, natural calcium,
vitamin "A" & "C", potassium, iron, trace minerals, and like
Spirulina, is a vegetable source of vitamin B12. It supports optimal
thyroid gland activity and function, and it is also naturally
detoxifying. Dulse is also a natural source of iodine, an essential
trace mineral that is needed by the thyroid gland to maintain proper
metabolism and regulate body temperatures, blood cell production,
muscle, nerve and other bodily functions.
Lactospore®
Lactospore® is the trade name for the friendly bacterial culture L.
Sporogenes. These microflora organisms are sturdy, spore-bearing lactic
bacteria that can survive as they pass through the highly acidic
environment in the stomach. Because they are highly stable and are not
easily affected by heat, acids, bile and other harmful chemicals, they
easily grow and multiply in the intestinal tract. Viable (living) cells
of L. Sporogenes have been observed in the feces long after taking the
probiotic supplement. Studies have shown that the L. Sporogenes spores
found in Lactospore®
Supplementing with probiotics such as Lactospore®:
•Helps prevent bacterial and fungal infections
•Improves the balance of intestinal flora
•Reduces intestinal toxicity
•Reduces toxic burden on liver and other organs, and
•Improves overall health and well-being
Green
Tea: Green tea antioxidant polyphenols are 40 times stronger than
vitamin C and 20 times stronger than vitamin E. They have
radioprotective, anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-tumor, anti-parasitic
and anti-cholesterolemic action. Green Tea’s potent antioxidant
polyphenols also protect the body cells from the toxins being released
from the storage fats being burned. These polyphenols include catechin,
epicatechin, epicatechin gallate, epigallo-catechin-gallate, and
gallo-catechin. These tea polyphenols, as well as the theophylline in
the Green Tea, enhance the process of thermogenesis, involving the
metabolism of fatty acids for heat production. The Green Tea Extract in
Beyond Greens contains 50% catechin.
Acerola Berry Extract:
Acerola is a bright red berry, and it contains the most potent source
of natural vitamin C and bioflavanoids known. Vitamin C is water
soluble, and because the body does not store it, vitamin C must be
replenished on a daily basis. The human body does not produce
bioflavanoids, so they too must be supplied by the diet. Bioflavanoids
work synergistically with vitamin C to protect and preserve the
structure of capillary blood vessels. They help to promote circulation
as well as stimulate bile production in the liver. The Acerola Berry is
also very useful in the colon where it helps to balance the pH levels
to allow for proper colon function.
Certified Organic Beet
Juice: Certified Organic Beet Juice has been used to facilitate
digestion as well as stimulate the kidneys and lymphatic system.
According to the research carried out by Drs. Ferenczi, Seeger and
Trub, red beet juice is believed to both stimulate and strengthen the
peristalic activity of the bowels as well as the neighboring organs and
glands: the liver, gall bladder, spleen and kidneys.
Royal Jelly
Biochemically speaking, Royal Jelly is very complex. It is a thick,
extremely nutritious, milky-white, creamy liquid secreted by the
hypopharyngeal glands of the nurse bees. It is a very rich source of
proteins and contains eight essential amino acids, important fatty
acids, sugars, sterols and phosphorous compounds as well as
acetylcholine. Acetylcholine is needed to transmit nerve messages from
cell to cell (cell communication). A deficiency of this compound makes
individuals prone to Alzheimer's disease. It also contains gamma
globulin, known to stimulate the immune system and fight off
infections. According to Steve Schechter, M.D., "Royal Jelly is an
excellent source of nutrients and is gentle to the system." It contains
vitamins A, C, D and E, and it is particularly useful for its B-complex
contents, including B1, B2, B6, B12, biotin, folic acid, and inositol.
Royal Jelly is also high in the B vitamin pantothenic acid, recognized
for its ability to reduce stress levels. It also supplies the minerals,
calcium, copper, iron, phosphorous, potassium, silicon and sulfur.
Queen bees live exclusively on Royal Jelly, and it accounts for their
incredible size and longevity. Queen bees average 42 percent larger,
weigh 60 percent more, and live 40 times longer than worker bees
(seven years compared to seven weeks).
Broccoli Juice Powder:
Broccoli Juice Powders are rich in indole carbinol, an enzyme substance
that breaks down estrogen, and comes from the phytochemical family.
Estrogen is a hormone which appears to promote the development of
certain breast tumors, among many other physiological functions. Some
researchers believe that a cup of broccoli a day contains enough indole
carbinol to help ward off these tumors. The responsible chemical in the
broccoli that makes this enzyme increase is sulforaphane. Sulforaphane
is also found in cruciferous vegetables, like kale, cauliflower, and
brussel sprouts (as well as non-cruciferous vegetables, such as carrots
and green onions.
Aloe Vera Extract: Aloe Vera contains a
remarkable constitutent called “mucopolysaccharide”, which is a long
chain sugar molecule composed of individual mannose and glucose sugar
molecules connected together. Mucopolysaccharides are inflammation
reducers, very effective intracellular antioxidants, free radical
scavengers, and effective anti-bacterial and anti-viral agents.
Ginkgo
Biloba Standardized Extract: Ginkgo Biloba Standardized Extract has
been shown to be profoundly beneficial to the brain and cardiovascular
system. It is believed that Ginkgo Biloba extract has a number of
vaso-protective actions, including a relaxing effect on blood vessels,
a contractile action resulting in an increase of tone in abnormally
relaxed vessels, a protective action against capillary permeability,
anti-thrombotic activity as well as anti-ischemic (ischemia is the
decrease in the blood supply to a bodily organ, tissue, or part caused
by constriction or obstruction of the blood vessels), and anti-edemic
properties. Ginkgo Biloba extract supports both cognitive and memory
functions, and overall brain energy levels. Platelet activating factor
(PAF) is an inflammation mediator involved in various harmful
conditions affecting heart, lung, brain and vessels. Ginkgolide B has
been found to be the most active PAF antagonist compound contained in
Ginkgo biloba, which makes it effective in inhibiting excessive
platelet aggregation and clumping.
Bilberry Extract: Bilberry
Extract contains compounds that are beneficial for the eyes. These
compounds, called anthocyanidins, have the ability to protect and
regenerate retinal purple (rhodopsin), and are the primary agents
responsible for its ability to heal and protect the eyes. The
anthocyanidins in Bilberry Extract decrease vascular permeability. How
this works is not fully understood yet, but it appears that bilberry
anthocyanidins interact with blood vessel collagen in such a way as to
slow down enzymatic attack of the blood vessel wall. This prevents
leakage of capillaries, decreases ocular pressure and relieves painful
edemas.
Magnesium Dioxide: The utilization of all the unique
superfoods and phytochemicals in Beyond Greens is further augmented
with the addition of oxygen-rich Magnesium Dioxide that helps enhance
cellular metabolism and ATP energy production for improved cellular
health. Magnesium helps in transporting glucose into each cell in the
body. It is also very necessary for burning or oxidizing glucose for
energy. For this reason, magnesium is essential for the body to
properly metabolize carbohydrates.
