FOODS THAT DESTROY HEALTH
In order to prevent or heal any disease, you have to stop doing what made you sick in the first place. Every degenerative and even most infectious disease begin here. Degenerative disease are caused by a high level of toxemia that causes the impairment and eventual breakdown of vital organs, the endocrine glands, and the immune system. Infectious diseases can take root when there is a high level of waste and toxins for the invading germ to feed on (like mosquitoes in a swamp- they are not attracted to fresh, clean water).
It is strongly recommended NOT eating anything that has been genetically modified or grown with the use of chemicals, pesticides, antibiotics, hormones, herbicides, insecticides, and so forth. Please seek out organic foods that are clean, pure and will not make you ill. For more on the healthy foods, please see Foods That Heal and information about eating a Vegetarian (Vegan) Diet see Vegetarian Food Guide for helpful tips about combining protein foods to obtain all essential amino acids required by the body. If you are on a vegetarian (vegan) diet, plan your menus carefully. You may need to include dietary supplements in your diet for complete nutritional balance.
Here are the major offending foods that may contribute to an unhealthy condition and bring you to the doorstep of disease. Cutting down or eliminating these foods is the most important step you can take toward getting and staying healthy:
