WHY RAW?????
Reasons For The Raw Lifestyle
•ENERGY (electronegative energy)
•Enzymes
•Nutrient Density
•Fiber
•Water/Hydration
•pH
•Avoiding Toxins/Synthetic Hormones
•Avoiding Additives
•Build Better CELL MEMBRANES / Capacitors /

Free radical
theory of aging
Denham Harman,
M.D., Ph.D. (1954)
Aging occurs as
cells are
permanently
damaged by
continual attacks
from chemical
particles known
as free radicals.
(Oxidation)
Each 24 hours,
approximately
1 trillion molecules of
oxygen pass through
every cell of the body.
This results in
100,000 free
radical hits or
wounds on
the cellular DNA.
Dr. Bruce N. Ames, geneticist;
University of California at Berkeley.
ENERGY
• Cooked food steals energy
• Raw Food Adds energy
• Nutrient Density with lots of green and
brightly colored foods builds strong cell
membrane = better battery with more
CAPACITY to store a charge.
• GOOD FAT builds the framework (omega

I don’t have
energy to

balance.
Cellular Necrosis - The cause of death is usually
insufficient cellular energy to maintain the
membrane pumps that keep certain ions inside
of the cell and water out.
William R. Clark, Professor Emeritus of Immunology at UCLA, A Means to an End The
Biological Basis of Aging and Death. Pg 26.
Since 1970 there have been
over 2000 studies that have
utilized Impedance
Plythesmography (Fluid and
Nutrition Analysis). The
overwhelming conclusion is
that THE FIRST SIGN OF
FAILING HEALTH is a shift of
fluid from the inside of the
cell to the outside of the
cell.

required for
EVERY

Increased extra- cellular fluid (ECF) compresses the
blood vessels and reduces the amount of oxygen and
nutrients delivered to the cell.
3 outcomes of
low oxygen:

Dr. Otto Warburg.
1. Fatigue or Atrophy

2. Death of tissue or organism
3. Mutation (Cancer)

50%
“ We know, for example, that cells tend to lose water
as they age, probably reflecting an alteration in the
function of the membrane pumps discussed earlier.
This cellular dehydration in turn affects how the
organism looks; newborn infants are about 80 percent
water, whereas water is less than 50 percent of the
mass of the wizened, older individual.”
William R. Clark, Professor Emeritus of Immunology at UCLA,

The Brain of Your Cells Is...
The Cell MemBRAIN! It interprets the
environment and tells DNA what to do!
We are MASTERS OF OUR FATE NOT
Victims of our Genes!
THE PRIMACY OF DNA IS DEAD!!
Take the DNA out of a cell, the cell lives on.
Take the cell membrane out of the cell…
the cell dies immediately!
Cell membrane interprets your inner
environment and sends signals to DNA to
carry out the appropriate actions.
“IT’S THE ENVIRONMENT, STUPID!”
We are the drivers of our own biology by
the way we create, interact with, and, most
important, interpret our environment.
Create A Quality Membrane!
Cell membranes that are not made of fluid and
resilient fats (EPA/DHA) and low in the basic
framework of vitamin C and the potent antioxidants...Bioflavonoids (colorful foods, citrus whites
and peels, onions, blueberries, cherries, grapes, etc.)
will break open too easily and spill out the contents of
the membrane causing an inflammatory/immune
reaction. Lack of Omega 3 also means...
BAD CELLUALAR COMMUNCATION
Cell Membrane Health Can Be Measured by
Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA)!!

Foods for Detoxification
• Cruciferous vegetables : Broccoli, cabbage, Kale,
Collards, Brussel Sprouts, bok choy, arugula,
cauliflower, watercress (induce phase 2 packaging)
• High ellagic acid content foods: raspberries,
strawberries, cranberries, walnuts, pecans,
pomegranates)
• Green Food (plant nutrients) – grass drinks,. Helps
balance your pH and gives you tons of antioxidants
plus the power of chelation of heavy metals.
“These all dovetail with
findings that in every
species from worms to
monkeys, calorie restriction
increases longevity. The
leanest animals also look
and act younger. In the only
calorie analysis of people,
"The results clearly suggest
that humans react to such a
nutritional regimen similarly
to other vertebrates.””

Enzymes
• Denatured at 108 degrees
• Destroyed at 118 degrees
• Cooked food draws from your energy reserves
to digest the food = fatigue
Voltage
• Electrical potential
– Normal cells have an electronegative potential across
the cell membrane at -20 to -25mV
– Young healthy cell functions are about -30mV
– -10 mV = sick and tired
– Chronic disease is Low voltage
– Cancer (-5 to +50mV)
– Anti oxidants donate electrons
– Above 7.0 is alkaline and has electrons to donate and
heal
Acid/Alkaline and Electronegativity
• pH of 0 = +400mV (will steal electrons and create
lots of free radicals and oxidative damage
• pH of 7 = 0mV (still no electrons to give but at
least not causing damage
• pH of 14 = -400mV (intensely charged and
donates electrons to be a powerful anti-oxidant
• Blood is 7.35 to 7.45 (body will use buffering
systems to keep it there or you’ll die.)
