Detoxing is essential to achieve pristine health, mental clarity and longevity. Our body is constantly being attacked by chemicals in our foods, toxins used in our home, the air we breathe on a busy street, eating in a restaurant, just about everywhere we turn our well being is compromised.

mes. I am juice organic juices like kale, spinach, cucumber, beets, carrots, red cabbage, parsley, chard and other dark intense vegetables. I eat tons of raw vegetables, fruit and nuts.
I love it when someone my age tells me that Veganism is a bunch of "hog wash." They are usually over weight, look old, tired and their skin is terrible. I am always told that I am not getting proper nutrients, calcium and proteins. It makes no sense to me because I can do things that people half my age cannot do. I have never had an ailment, gone to the doctor or taken a prescription drug. I have no pains and aches and feel better than I did when I was twenty.
Today I was in the health food store that I frequent regularly and there was a middle aged woman that wanted help choosing a detox formula of powders and pills. The young man that worked the store knows me well and asked me to talk to her as she was completely naive of detoxing and her main motivation was to lose weight. So, I took her by the arm and we walked over to the produce section which was loaded as Tuesday is their day to receive organic produce. I picked out carrots, parsley, red cabbage, chard, kale, beets with tops, celery an avocado and I told her to just go home and make salads out of all these vegetables and use the avocado as the only dressing, no salt or any other seasonings except for maybe fresh lemon.
I told her that those powders and pills are worthless and the only benefit to them is the people selling them who make a ton of money. I told her that you cannot detox with powders for ten days and expect a miracle. Detoxing for ten days or twenty days or even a month with "superfood" is ridiculous. First of all you are not benefiting any nutritional value. Secondly, by detoxing for just a certain amount of time is like taking a shower for a limited amount of days per year and not showering the rest of the year. The reason they call those powders "superfoods" is because they make a "super amount of money" for the people marketing them.
The problem is that you cannot just make a ton of money selling organic fruits and vegetables so a good marketing company invented expensive vitamins, drinks and powders that they call "superfood" without any actual evidence that any of this crap is good for us.....It is good for them because the supplement business is a $Billion industry. So, if Americans are swallowing and drinking "power drinks" and making superfood smoothies more than any other country in the world, why is America the sickest and fattest country in the world?
Eating a mostly raw vegan organic diet is the only path to good health. Many people will tell me that my diet is "to restrictive," "to difficult socially," "to time consuming and costly." My answer is always, "have you priced cancer lately? Have you thought about taking handfuls of prescription drugs, sitting in doctor's offices, undertaking a major surgery, chemotherapy? That seems so much more restrictive and time consuming than eating an organic salad everyday and drinking fresh organic juice."
So, to have someone tell me that my lifestyle is a fantasy and they look like they have one foot in the grave is proof that my lifestyle is the "fountain of youth." I have been a Vegan for most of my life, I don't drink alcohol, never eat processed foods and refrain from eating in restaurants at all expense. I also never use salts, oils except for flaxseed and hemp seed oil and I try and eat a raw organic diet except for baking yams, squash and grains.
Becoming Vegan is beneficial at any age but honestly, when you are older and experiencing cancer and heart disease, a drastic lifestyle change will not repair the damage of decades of abuse. It is absolutely necessary to veganize your life for health, well being and morality............
