End World Hunger... and Other Raw Foodist Ideas to Save the World

["End World Hunger... and Other Raw Foodist Ideas to Save the World" - last updated: 24th November 2012]

I will start with a provocative statament:
There is way enough food in the world to feed everyone. This is absolutely true. The main problem we have is that the efforts of fair food distribution are being misdirected.

The first point I want to make: don't trust charities! Check their backgrounds and accounting out before you make your mind up about them. Most of them today, very unfortunately, are businesses, which operate for profit. In practice this often means that most of the money donated to these charities go to businesses in Western countries, which then charge over the odds for providing a basic service, for example, to feed children in Africa.

Most of the money never gets to Africa.

It is also too often not in the charity's interest to end world hunger, since that's what they make their money from in the first place. Now, I'm not saying all charities are like this but unfortunately many are, so do your research and demand open accounting.

For more information on this problem, read, for example: Graham Hancock's book entitled: 'The Lords of Poverty: The Power, Prestige, and Corruption of the International Aid Business'.

But there are some good news to come so read on...

Before we get there I have to briefly mention couple of other problems. Firstly, we need political will. But also, there are many choices we, as societies together, can make to ensure that no-one goes hungry.

The quite obvious first solution is to drastically reduce meat consumption. One cow eats some 20x more than a human in its lifetime but provides only enough food for a few meat-based meals (when slaughtered). If the same area was planted with trees, or edible grasses, infinitely more people could be fed with the same piece of land than can be fed when a cow occupies it.

Solution to end world hunger #1:
Drastically reduce meat consumption

Secondly, if land was in large part used for sustainable (biodynamic) farming practices instead of commercial and toxic industrial farming practices, the benefits for the soil and environment would also be obvious.

But the benefits for the human and the farmer would be even greater. Fruit trees and vegetables grown in healthy soil have all the necessary minerals in them, in sharp contrast to the plant food we eat today, which is often quite devoid of minerals.

Better soil means stronger plans, which means much better resistance to bugs, and a drastically longer shelf-life. But to get these benefits the farmer has to be willing to go beyond organic and study volcanic rock dust-supplementation and traditional methods of building up the soil.

Non-organic mass-farming and the accompanying mono-crop farming of vegetables and fruit quickly depletes the soil of minerals and spreads toxins in the environment and the food source, as well as serves to efficiently pollute the oceans.

Ok, Where Are the Good News?

Well, it is in fact fairly easy to end world hunger with the help of raw living foods, if enough people understand the big picture and are willing to take action.

Firstly, why are the charities shipping cheap, processed, nutrient-depleted quick-fix foods to places like Africa, instead of investing the money to plant fruit trees or other crops in these villages? The quality of the food is extremely important, if you're trying to bring health to malnourished populations - surely bringing health should be the goal?

Have you heard of the charity which ships cows to Africa? Why not send seeds for sprouting instead? I can't remember where I read this but when I come across it I will post it here: Sprouts are the best food to combat world hunger because they include in them all the nutrients the body needs.

So the idea to end world hunger number #2:
Send sprout seeds!

In fact sprouts are the perfect survival food, with plenty of protein (bioavailable amino acids), minerals, natural sugars and life force. Sprouts are also among the highest natural sources of vitamins and they include female and male hormones as well. Sprouts of course have only a very miniscule amount of plant fats in them, which means that in the long term, some additional source of fat would probably beneficial. Read more on sprouting here: MK Raw: "Sprouting Foods - For Perfect Health & Wellbeing"

Farming all over the world could be made more efficient. Currently many farmers are in a vicious cycle of relying on pesticides and insecticides, and the companies that sell those, which causes the crops to grow weaker and depletes the soil, which causes even weaker crops and an increased need for pesticides and other chemicals. GMO crops pose an even more serious problem.

By contrast, "wild foods" harvested from wild nature or biodynamic foods grown with sustainable methods in mineral rich soils don't need preservatives because they are strong enough to survive!
The direct conclusion out of this realisation is also that if and when you eat mechanically farmed, mineral-deficient foods, you need to eat more to satisfy your body's energy and nutrient needs! For example, a non-hybrid wild banana is rumoured to be so filling, that it is a meal enough on its own! Unfortunately I haven't had the good fortune to taste one yet but apparently you recognise it from the larger seeds it has on the inside. I have spoken to some people who ate those somewhere in Asia.

The point being: natural, wild plants, which have not been domesticated and bred over hundreds of years like potatoes and carrots, are much more nutritious, filling, and able to defend themselves against pests, than industrially farmed foods.

The idea to end world hunger number #3:
Do away with industrial farming and the food will go further, grow bigger and better, nourish people better and less will be wasted because of much longer shelf-life!

That's all I have to say, for now, about world hunger and how to end it. On a personal level this is what you can do:

Spread the word.
Eat majority plant-based and if you can afford it, support biodynamic farmers - set an example.
Find good charities and lobby them. Research all charities and their accounts before giving them the time of the day.
Grow sprouts in large quantities just to prove the point! (I mean bucketfulls.)
Grow your own food using volcanic rock powders, probiotics, and other crucial things to mineralise the soil and yield a crop vastly more mineralised than any organic produce.
For more infomaton on how to do this, listen to this 2-hour talk by Ken Rohla: "How To Make Your Own Nutrient-Dense High ORMUS Probiotic Antioxidant Superfoods".
Set up a company transporting sprouts and sprouting equipment to areas where there is malnourishment. (Note, many Western Cities might need this form of charity, too...)
Plant fruit trees

The largest challenges, however, are the rogue charities themselves, the pesticide companies, and any other organisations linked to these, which may well include government bodies. Research, research, spread the word. And always fight for more equality in the world.

How Else Can the Raw Food Diet Benefit the World?

Interesting question... Let's take the problem with depleting energy sources and crude oil, for example.

Did you know that coconut oil and other vegetable oils are an equally good power source as crude petroleum oil? Really. Cars can drive on it (diesel engines) and some islands in the South Pacific are already using it. Philippines in fact are in talks with the USA to start exporting it as biofuel. Of course there are other sustainable energy sources too, such as various other biofuels (including manure), wave power, small windmills for personal use, not to mention the many scientific attempts to tap into the zero point energy.

Raw food can empower people. Another obvious point. Imagine the energy (physical and mental) of people saved if many of the 'lifestyle' diseases were obliterated by the mass-consumption of raw foods?

A lot of the reported diseases easier to cure on raw foods are: obesity and related illnesses, high blood pressure and heart disease, diabetes, cancer, common colds, depression, etc. If we add fasting to the protocol, even more diseases have been reported as cured and with better results, including arthritis, premature aging and many addictions. What a change this would make to the world and its societies - how much sadness, stress, money-problems, arguments between relatives, fear, worry and bad vibes could be wiped off of the face of the earth? Not only could illnesses be cured but general cooked-food -induced fatigue, laziness, depression and brain-fog could be lifted. People could actually start having the time and energy to have constructive hobbies, activities, social events and interests in their day to day life. Adhering to the raw food diet can empower people both on a personal and societal levels.

The raw food diet can end or at least drastically reduce our reliance on allopathic surgery and drugs. End of big pharma. End of fraudulent cancer charities. Point made.

Our bodies can be protected against many environmental pollutants when the immune system is strengthened with raw foods but also there are wholefood natural medicines which can further protect us, for example: spirulina is said to efficiently detoxify radiation from the body and thus protect us against the nuclear fallout and chlorophyll in all its forms is able to pull heavy metals out of the body.

Also, raw foodist mentality and information sources can further help to combat different toxins, such as chemtrails, electromagnetic pollution, etc.
Raw food diet and fasting also efficiently clear out old wastes such as drugs, energy blockages, and xenoestrogens, to name a few, from our bodies. See these videos to begin to explore this further:
Ken Rohla: "How to Neutralize Radiation and Chemtrails From the Sky, Your Garden, and Your Body"
Daniel Vitalis: "Looking for Some Inexpensive Radiation Detoxification?"

Okay, now we are starting to get to some wild ideas...

What are the mental/ psychological benefits of the raw food diet? There have been many reports on improved moods, mellow vibes and a natural high, as well as many examples of cured depression, when the body is fed high-quality nutrition and brought back to optimal balance. This kind of balance is something of much higher order than what the Western Healthcare system aspires to or even is aware of.

Admittedly, there are also many reports on reduced joy of life and energy on a raw food diet. But at least a raw food diet has never outright caused depression. I think that any time the body is deficient in essential nutrients, hydration (water), lifeforce energy, minerals, positive thoughts and vibrations, it can produce many symptoms, including problems of the mind.

That is why it is so important to be disciplined on a raw food diet and ensure that you eat enough, eat a varied diet and ENJOY the tastes of the foods you eat. Feeling deprived is not good for the mind whereas excitement of the new lifestyle is!

I, personally, discovered improved moods quickly on a 100% raw food diet. My mind felt more at ease and more balanced. I seemed to worry less. In my case, the diet seems to both put things into perspective and to help concentration on what is essential.

And this is only the very beginning. Have you seen the move "Limitless"? That's where I think we could end up as world society as a whole if we could use all our skills, intuition and enthusiasm to purify, mineralize and begin a new era of understanding and practising health. And we could do it all by relying purely on raw foods and some other cheap health practices. And without the drug pushers.

There is a community of raw foodists living in Israel, who call themselves the Africal Hebrew Israelites. Their home has also been called the 'village of peace' as apparently, they have not only unusually good health but also "...no weapons, no locks on doors, no perversion, no homelessness, no starvation, and no crime. The results are unprecedented." - Zakhah: The Joy of Living Live

I have, in fact, written my own article on the various ways diet affects moods here: How to Control Anger/ Cures for Moodiness

Could it be that fresh, clean, unprocessed, raw foods are able balance our minds and emotions in way that a non-competitive, peaceful human is brought into existence? It is a wild thought but not one that has not been entertained by before. Indeed, Dr. Philpott puts forward an argument in his book 'Brain Allergies' on how food and chemical intolerances, coupled with mineral deficiencies are the cause of a majority of mental illnesses. Another interesting read on the same topic is the book: 'Diet, Crime and Delinquency' by Alexander Schauss.

Expanding on the previous paragraph and just as one example, consider the power of chlorophyll. It is sunlight stored in the green of the plant. When humans soak in sunlight, they 'photosynthesise' as well. But the plant can do that for you...

The benefits of chlorophyll are endless. Basically it is able to help transport oxygen into your cells. If the cells do not get enough oxygen, in order to survive, they have to start using sugar as fuel, instead of oxygen. This means that they turn from aerobic to anaerobic cells.
Understand, however, that this is a survival mechanism of the cells, necessary in the absence of oxygen. However, anaerobic cells have another name: cancer cells. In limited amounts the body can replace them or even convert them back to aerobic cells but when the amount of anaerobic cells gets out of hand, the result is malignant growth, i.e. a tumor.
In addition, anaerobic cells produce lactic acid, among other toxins, which get dumped into the body. Lactic acid, specifically, is very acidic. Thus the connection between an acid body and cancer has been made numerous times. Apparently, cancer cells also thrive in an acidic body. This is because the body needs oxygen also to transport acid toxins out, which, in turn, causes the body to become more alkaline. And, incidentally, it is also oxygen which helps to convert cancer cells back to aerobic, or healthy cells.

Now, we can see why the fact that oxygen is not only breathed in but also transported into the cells by the body is crucial for cellular health, for the ability to maintain an alkaline body ph, and for the body to stay non-toxic. It is also absolutely crucial for energy. You see, the cell needs oxygen to transform glucose (sugar) into energy in a healthy way. If this happens without oxygen, energy results as well but the body toxifies rapidly, as seen above, which again depletes energy. So for healthy, energised cells, the best thing seems to be chlorophyll as it helps to transport oxygen into the cells.

But the benefits of eating greens (chlorophyll), an alkaline body, and oxygenated cells go way beyond energy and preventing disease. This also improves moods and according to many, creates quite a distinct "natural high".
Keep in mind, however, that we are talking large amounts of chlorophyll every day here. It seems from various testimonies that chlorophyll can make people generally more happy and less argumentative.

David Wolfe explains that the body being alkaline really just means that it is capable of holding lots of natural electricity. He explains this in one of the videos on his website ("Master Cleanse Programme Upgrade"). And the body's electricity is vital for everything. For example, the correct electromagnetic charge is required to hold nutrients suspended in blood (as colloid). But this requires much more explanation so I will soon write it into another article. Meanwhile, consider these quotes:

"I would go so far as to say that if a community, a country, or even the world consumes chlorophyll consistently (1-2 times a day): we would see an end to world famine, dis-ease and war." - Queen Afua

According to David Jubb, each of our cells contains very small biological units called "lifecolloid", which have a specific electrical charge. If the cell's function is compromised (e.g. with too little oxygen), the lifecolloid turns into a dysbiotic lifecolloid, which cannot function in an optimal way. This becomes very interesting as we move into a better understanding of what David Jubb actually means by lifecolloid. According to him, it consists of biophotons, which are miniscule sources of light in the body!

I have written more about biophotons in the following book review, which also includes links to recent scientific articles on biophotons: Barbara Wren: Cellular Awakening

It gets crazier. According to David Jubb's speculations, these biophotons are the missing link between matter and energy, body and spirit. They are able to tap into the zero point energy of the universe and draw not only actual energy to each individual cell but also to bring in information: universal wisdom, intuition if you like. Look out for my (up-and-coming) summary/ review of David Jubb's book for more explanation on this, as it is obviously beyond the scope of this article! But this explains why oxygenated, well-hydrated cells could be even more important for energy, as malfunctioning cells have a diminished light source in them.

Benefits of Raw Food Beyond the Physical Body

David Wolfe explains - in more esoteric terms - that raw food opens up your connection to the universal energy:

"When you naturalize your diet, you automatically tune into a different energy band of life. You allow more information from your higher self to penetrate your conscious mind. And what you consider reality will change. Naturalizing your diet aligns and strips away chemical debris and toxins from the endocrine glands allowing insights from infinite intelligence to flow more clearly into your thoughts. [...] When you eat raw plant foods, your instincts become stronger. Your intuition becomes more reliable - clearer - and decision-making becomes effortless. [...] ... the only thing we have which is not an illusion is our intuition." - David Wolfe: Sunfood Diet Success System, p. 83.

If this is true, the implications of such a simple thing as eating a specific diet are immense. Basically, IF it is true that raw foods first of all contain universal energy/scalar energy (and thus wisdom) in themselves - as appears on Kirlian photographs - and IF they are also able to increase our existing energy vibration and open up energy centres (such as the third eye), THEN what this basically means is that by just eating raw foods we will immediately start realising a paradise on earth. We will be guided by our higher selves and whatever universal energy connection they are capable of.

Vibrating on a higher level would also indicate better luck and we would draw towards ourselves all kinds of amazingly good things, people and situations.

Is it possible that raw food is able, energetically, to improve our vibrations and manifestation powers and bring all the benefits of the Law of Attraction within easy reach of us all? This is what David Wolfe seems to indicate.

In a way, judging from the amazing discoveries I have been exposed to in the recent years (of which this article only scratches the surface) I begin to feel that it may indeed be true that a big awakening is happening on the planet, and raw foods may well be a large part of that change. Nevertheless, I remain sceptic until I experience it myself. Thus the 100-Day Raw Food Challenge.

"Within three months of eating raw foods, I knew I had found a great key that could open and create many doors. I felt as if a great secret of the ages had been revealed. For me, it was an earth-trembling discovery. [...] Within three words - raw plant food - is a major key to unlocking humanity's dormant powers." - David Wolfe, as above, p. 13

I will leave the rest of the thought-process on how the raw food diet can end world hunger and save the world to your imagination! But there is a lot of interesting potential to explore within the raw food lifestyle, for sure.

For additional inspiration, specifically on indicating why the benefits of raw foods may be as extreme as many seem to claim, consider the benefits of just drinking natural (live and unprocessed) spring water, discussed in this article: Live Spring Water Benefits.
