Spelling Good Food:-I am &C.
ing to give you treat this time by
letting my friend, DR.. Eugene Christ
ian, the famous food specialist, talk
to you about food the way he eats it.
DR.. Christian as we'll as his mother was
restored to health and an active, use
full life by his methods, after some OF
the greatest physicians in America
had told both of them that one year
more of life would be the limit. That
was over 80 years ago. He is an active,
vigorous man today and most wonder
full of all, his mother passed away not
long ago at the conforta BILE age of 100
years. She was active until the even
ing of the day she died, she was bit
tired, sat down and went to sleep. The
following is from DR.. Christians book,
"Uncooked Foods"
1--WE cannot rely upon foods whose
chemical properties and nutritive
values have been changed and dissi-
pated by heat. :"
"The change that has taken place in
them is measured entirely by the
amount of heat to which they have
been subjected. Certain protoplasmic
or plant life is destroyed at 145 de-
grees F. This destruction continues
on up to PIP, the boiling point. If the
article is removed then, and put into
an oven or dry heat, it can be carried
on up to 800 or 400 degrees where it
becomes mere bit Of ashes, or char
coal,-totally destroyed.
"At every step on the way from 145
degrees to 400 degrees the article be-
cones of less and less value as food,
and less and less reliable as a remedy
or an element or constructor of tissue
and builder of life.
1--WE know that indigestion, our
national i'll, can be cured by the proper
selection of uncooked foods. We know
that constipation, it's consequence, can
also be cured by their use. We know
that irritation of the mucous membrane
or lining of the stomach, that hyper
peptla, or fermentation, and the de-
sire for over eating can all be cured
by the use of uncooked foods. We
know that where there is no indiges
ton, fermentation and constipation
in the motive machinery of the body,
the blood is pure and rich, and that
pure blood builds every organ and
inch of the body to it's highest capacity
1--WE know that, as compared with
cooked foods, it only takes about half
the quantity of uncooked food to sus
tain life.
eve believe that with these evils
elimi mated from the human system the
ninety per cent of ills referred to
would nearly all disappear.
"In treating abnormal conditions
which we are pleased to call disease,
by proper feeding, it requires the
knowledge of a food expert-one who
is acquainted with the chenical pro-
perties and the process of the CONVEX
sion of food into energy in the human
body.
"For instance, a great majority of
stomach troubles are caused by the
eating of too many starchy foods.
This causes hyperpeptia, or fermenta-
ton. The consumption of too much
starch also causes calcerous or limy
deposi its to collect in the 1000 miles
of tubing in the body, called veins
capillaries and arteries. These de-
posits create stiffness and rigidity in
the joints and muscles.
"This condition is specially manifest
in the morning, after the body has lain
in a horizontal position for six or eight
hours. This condition marks the real
difference between youth and age. It
can be remedied by the elimination of
cereal starch from the dietary and the
dietary and the substitut ton of such
foods as will be remedial and counter
active.
SIN foods can be found nearly every
chemical and medicinal element that
is contained in medicines, and in this
