Seven Components of Great Health – No. 2: Spirulina and Chlorella

Posted on May 5, 2009 by Bob McCauley

Component 2: Introduce Spirulina and Chlorella to your diet

The most powerful foods on earth are Spirulina Pacifica and Chlorella Pyrenoidosa. They compliment one another in many ways because they are completely different foods with different nutrients. Spirulina is an extremely pure food, 95% digestible, extremely high in the Vitamin B-complex, iron, calcium and essential fatty acids such as Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA), which is excellent for relieving joint pain and inflammation. Spirulina is an excellent food to consume before a workout because of the explosive energy it provides to the body.

Chlorella has incredible immune building properties. Its unique fiber is great for the digestion, as well as heavy metal and synthetic toxin removal. It has large amounts of nucleic acids (RNA/DNA), which, along with amino acids (protein), are the building blocks of our cells. Chlorella can even be used topically on cuts, scrapes, infections, even serious wounds, as can Spirulina.

The second step in Achieving Great Health is to add these superfoods to your diet. Start slowly, gradually increasing them until you reach a dosage of at least eight grams of each daily. (See Appendix: Spirulina, Chlorella & Water Dosages.) You can never consume too much Spirulina and Chlorella as long as they are raw and their enzymes are intact. As you increase your dosage, gradually reduce your intake of protein from traditional sources, such as meat fish, eggs, soy and dairy products. Algae is best consumed with each meal because of its high protein content, the highest percentage of any foods known with 18 different amino acids that are in the proper ratio to one another. Protein must be consumed with everything you eat for proper digestion and nutrient absorption. Most vegetarians lack sufficient protein in their diet.

Great Health will be nearly impossible to achieve without these two powerful whole foods at the center of your diet.

Seven Components of Great Health – No. 1: Water

Posted on May 4, 2009 by Bob McCauley

By Dr. Bob McCauley

Component 1: Start drinking ionized water consistently

You need to hydrate your body because there is nothing more important regarding human health than a properly hydrated body, which translates into sufficiently hydrated cells throughout the body. If the body’s cells are not healthy, we cannot be healthy. Cellular health equals human health.

Ionized Water has four qualities that are perfect for the body’s health: Antioxidant, Alkalinity, Hydration and Detoxification. Start slowly and increase the potency of the Ionized Water you consume until you are drinking 1.5 – 2 gallons per day. Drink it all day except around mealtime. An extra trip or two to the bathroom is an extraordinarily cheap price to pay for your most precious possession: your health.

You are the only person who can consume enough water to start on the road back to the health you were born with, that which God intended you to have, not the body you have transformed it into from a lifetime of eating primarily dead foods that are acidic, dehydrating and void of any rejuvenating properties.

structured_waterHydration is the first step toward reversing chronic illnesses and strengthening the immune system. It is our first defense against disease and the very keystone of human health.

There is a certain calm and stillness that only water offers. It is impossible to sit by tranquil waters and not feel at peace. Herman Melville mused that “Meditation and water are wedded for ever.” He could not have been more right. We came from the sea.

The First Steps toward Becoming a Raw Foodist – Part 5

Posted on May 1, 2009 by Bob McCauley

by Bob McCauley, ND

Rice also tends to cause a lot of gas, which is created mainly in the large intestines and is the result of undigested starchy carbohydrates. Foods that cause these problems become their own reason for removing them from your diet.  I slowly removed rice from my diet over the course of several months until I was eating it only once a week.

Eventually, I got rid of it completely. Only giving up dairy products did more to remove mucus from my body. It was the last profound positive change in my health I experienced, for now I was nearly 100% raw.

The First Steps toward Becoming a Raw Foodist – Pt 4

Posted on April 30, 2009 by Bob McCauley

The next step would be to begin cooking your vegetables less and less, whether it is steaming, frying or baking. Start by steaming them only half the time you normally do, then reduce the time until you are merely warming them. If you keep the temperature of the vegetables below 105°F, you will not destroy the enzymes and other chemical nutrients in the food. Any raw food can be raised to a temperature of 105°F without the fear of damaging its nutritional potential. Many people miss warm food when first moving to the Raw-food Diet and if it makes you feel better to warm your food to 105°F or less, you should do it.

Juicing is another side door to the raw food lifestyle. Juicing is a world unto itself. The human body is essentially a juicer in the sense that it is the juice from plants that contains the nutrients that the body must extract. Anyone seeking to truly obtain Great Health must include juicing as part of their daily protocol. There are many types of juicers. Most separate the juice from the fiber, a valuable and necessary part of the food. Other juicers grind up the entire food, including the fiber. These are preferable. (to be continued . . . )

The First Steps toward Becoming a Raw Foodist – Pt 3

Posted on April 28, 2009 by Bob McCauley

This monumental task that you have placed before yourself of changing a lifelong belief system must be done first in baby-steps that become bigger steps that turn in to leaps as your body cries louder each day for raw foods. Your reward will be perfect health and a disease free body when the transition is complete. Your body will punish you when you sometimes stray and revert to your old deadly cooked-food ways. It is tough love because your body knows what is right. The more you consume raw foods, the more traumatic this punishment becomes as you realize once and for all what poison cooked foods really are.

Another important step we can make is to begin moving away from pre-packaged processed foods to fresh cooked foods. It helps bring us out of the repetitious habit of our daily lives that shackles us to the cooked world. It is merely habit to come home tired and look for something easy to prepare for dinner. There is nothing easier than something that is already prepared and simply needs to be heated. Of course the ultimate fast food is a raw food because it is immediately ready to eat at any time.

The First Steps toward Becoming a Raw Foodist – Part 2

Posted on April 27, 2009 by Bob McCauley

Another approach is to start eating a salad with each meal. Increase the size of the salad you have each day by 2% and shrink the amount of cooked foods you eat by a corresponding amount. Following through with this will leave you a 100% raw foodist in less than 50 days.

Another transition is to introduce dehydrated foods to your diet, foods that have had the moisture removed from them. They can be made into incredible raw food dishes such as sprouted bread, pizza, caramel apples, potato chips and many others, all of them raw and healthy. While dehydrated foods are not as healthy as fresh raw foods, they are the next best thing. They are an excellent transition food, but ultimately our goal is to consume 100% fresh raw foods. The closer you get to that goal, the healthier you will be. (to be continued . . .)

The First Steps toward Becoming a Raw Foodist – Part 1

Posted on April 25, 2009 by Bob McCauley

I have found it useful to stop thinking about meals in the rigid way we traditionally regard them. We are conditioned to build our day around three meals when instead we should only eat when we are hungry. Your body will crave cooked foods less and less when it is provided with raw nutrients at a cellular level. The constant companion of hunger will leave you. We do not need the three meals we are accustomed to, rather, that is programmed into us, which is a central component of the obesity problem today. We look at a clock to know if it’s time to eat instead of our stomachs.

We need to break our pattern and start thinking outside the norms we are accustomed to when it comes to food. When we eat only when we are hungry, we begin to view food as a supply of nutrients we require to be healthy, not as something we need to do at a certain time of the day so our stomachs are always full.

An easy way to begin is by increasing the percentage of raw foods in your diet while shrinking the size of the cooked foods you consume. The concept is simple. Begin the process with breakfast and carry that sentiment throughout the day. Start by adding a banana or apple to your cereal, for instance. Increase the portion of fruit in the cereal each day without increasing how much you eat; this means that the milk and cereal portion will decrease. Within a short time, you will have transitioned to an all fruit breakfast. If it is complemented with 4 — 6 grams of Spirulina and Chlorella, you will be meeting all your basic nutritional needs and then some. Your mornings will be full of energy when you eat this way.

Bob McCauley’s Story of Great Health – pt 6 (Final)

Posted on April 23, 2009 by Bob McCauley

This is how I got into natural health. I thought I was healthy before I started, but I was not even close to understanding how healthy we can all be. I am no one special. ANYONE can do what I have done. ANYONE can take their health to a level they never thought was possible. It only takes the will and desire to do so. I tell people everyday: The human body is capable of curing itself of any disease. All we need to do is hydrate the body, alkalize the body and detoxify the body. The question is how can we do this. The protocol is simple: Ionized Water, Spirulina, Chlorella, Raw Foods, Angstrom Minerals, Exercise & Maintain Positive Mental Attitude. And it works each and every time it is tried, meaning that when my health protocol is followed, Great Health will result.

Bob McCauley’s Story of Great Health – pt 5

Posted on April 22, 2009 by Bob McCauley

More than anything it takes understanding through experience and that is what I have done. This website provides the information of tools that I used to become truly healthy. I have reversed my aging process, rejuvenated my body at a cellular level. I am able to run six minute miles as I did when I was in my twenties because I have the body I had when I was in my twenties at a cellular level . I am in the best shape of my life, including my college days of track and cross country, although I don’t train as hard as I did back then. (to be continued . . . )

Bob McCauley’s Story of Great Health – Pt. 4

Posted on April 21, 2009 by Bob McCauley

As far as medical advice, I can offer none whatsoever. Anything regarding medicine should be between you and your doctor.
I am not a formally trained medical, health or nutritional professional in any way. What I know of health is what I have read, experienced and spoken with others about. I offer on this website no medical advice, but rather guidance and ruminations about health. The reason I know almost nothing about medicine is because medicine does not lead to health. This book is essentially one person’s opinion, that of my own. However, I challenge anyone to find flaw with the basic tenets of my health philosophy, which is that water and raw foods rule . What does it take to understand how to Achieve Great Health, a doctorate or a few letters behind your name? (to be continued . . . )
