" … we don't have to be sick when we treat our body with the proper food and nutrition how God intended us to receive it"
 Very few if any of us would admit to choosing Death rather than Life, yet most of us do so every day simply by our Lifestyle and choices we make.
Hello, my name is Rodney and I am married to Catherine, and yes like most of us I was Choosing Death rather than Life.
How, you may well ask? Let me explain. My previous Lifestyle was that of a driven hard-working man who had buried grief, unresolved anger, and not able to love easily. Thus I was under stress. Coupled to all this, I was your average meat-eating, three vegetables, some salads, very little fruit, sweet tooth, coffee drinking, no regular exercise Kiwi. I believed that I was eating and living healthily although I was becoming more and more affected by colds and flu’s. I had no major health problems up until the age of 52.
In November 1994 after some pain in the stomach that was bad enough to send me to the Doctor, I was diagnosed as suffering with stage-two Non–Hodgkins Lymphoma (Cancer of the lymph system). This condition has no known medical cure but could be controlled for sometime by Chemotherapy which extended ones life. This I might add came as a shock as it was out of the blue.
In January 1995 the Oncologist informed us that as the tumours were the type that were very slow growing, he didn’t expect to have to treat me for many years and meanwhile I should carry on with my life as normal. However in May of the same year after yet another CT scan, the tumours were found to have grown alarmingly. I found myself on the ‘mildest’ form of Chemotherapy from June for the next six months. In December yet after another CT scan, the Chemotherapy was shown to have shrunk the tumours. This was good news but left me with some not-informed-of side effects which led me in February 1996 to a brain scan. The Oncologist told us he was looking for Spinal Meningitis, a possible side effect of the treatment. There were no signs.
This so alarmed us that Catherine approached a Nutritionist friend in March. She sent us a Barley product which I am still taking, and an audio tape on ‘Nutrition Gods Way’. This had a profound effect on me, so much so that I changed my Lifestyle and Diet which now consists of 85% raw vegetables and fruit. The other 15% is cooked, such as a baked potato or steamed vegetables etc and for variation occasionally brown rice or lentil dishes. During the day I drink lots of carrot juice with lots of leafy greens, in fact approximately two litres made in a Green Star Twin Gear Juicer, with inline Magnets surrounded by Bio-ceramic material. This method allows for the juice to be kept for up to 48 hours in the refrigerator by delaying oxidation without losing any nutritional value.
I also walk at least 3-4kms most days to increase my heart rate, create muscle movement to pump the lymph fluid around my body, and also by getting up a sweat I help rid my body of toxins.
The resulting benefits have been tremendous, clearing up the colds, flu and sinus problems, losing all joint pains, good blood results, and I have not felt this well for years.
Although the Oncologist told us that nobody had gone longer then four years between Chemotherapy treatments, I was discharged from there system toward the end of 2000 and have not been back.
The truth is …we don’t have to be sick when we treat our body with the proper food and nutrition how God intended us to receive it, rather that how Man has adulterated it in his greed for profit. We, of course, also need regular exercise and of course we ALL need to love and be loved.
In conclusion, I believed that as God says in his Word – as a man soweth so shall he reap. I have personally understood this truth but not to the depth as I do now particularly where my health is concerned. By this I mean that when I choose to eat processed, refined, devitalised food, I am indeed choosing Death. The good news is that when I choose Live Raw Food I am choosing Life.
