Discerning Outside Threats, Bacteria, Germs and The Immune System

This is a contentious topic, and one where I think you will find there are extreme opinions on both side. On the one hand, you will find people who want you to go through life like a ‘Bubble Boy’, pumping gas while wearing latex gloves, sanitizing hands after each handshake, and living in a sterile environment devoid of any life. On the other end of the spectrum are individuals who would say bring on maximum outside organisms and the more

Raw Foods to Consider Avoiding

This segment more than any other will probably earn me the most criticism, especially from those in the raw food world who are supporting the same mission that I am on — which is to spread this message of self-healing and get information out there on how people can alkalize their bodies and empower themselves to solve their own health problems. The truth is, regardless of difference of opinions on certain fault lines, we are all on the same team if

Hierarchy of Raw Food Types

The term ‘raw foods’ is mentioned a lot throughout the course of Rapid Regeneration and the scope of different topics which are investigated here. I use this term loosely because this lifestyle is not really about living with strict, unbreakable rules. The exact definitions of what works best for each individual are best sculpted by that individual’s natural intuition and instincts about what works for him or her. You may have one person who is functioning at their best when they

Raw and/or Healthy-ish Foods to Cheat With

Trust me — you are undoubtedly going to run up on a time (or many times) when your willpower breaks down and you lack the discipline to continue eating the healthiest of foods. While much of this knowledge is mechanical, tactical, and anatomical, the journey of fixing your problems using raw foods is actually probably 80% mental, emotional, and in need of your innate spirit and energy to make this work. Emotionally speaking, you can get ratted out and will reach

Secret Healthy Fat Omega 6 to Omega 3 Fatty Acid Ratio

We have covered throughout this program about the role of fats and the importance of getting essential fatty acids. We have also highlighted the dynamic whereby you can actually consume excessive amounts of fat and the issues that this can present in terms of overworking your digestive organs as well as slowing down your lymphatic system in its cleansing and detoxification efforts. There is also something else to be considered, which would be — what kind of fatty acids are ideally
