Acknowledgements

As I feel “called by God” to write this book to help people, I acknowledge God first & foremost. I have been encouraged by thousands of my patients – as well as many nurses, therapists, and physicians (& other “friends & family” members) – to write this book for the past 18 years! I am grateful to them. However, it was the Lord who convinced me to get over my fears and made it very clear I was to write this book to reveal the truth about nutrition, diets, & the health of our bodies, minds, & souls (whether I wanted to or not)! “For He has NOT given us a spirit of fear – but one of: power, love, & understanding!” (2Timothy 1:7) In 1990, God used me (someone who previous to this did not know the difference between a Phillips head or flat head screw driver!) as a vessel to invent a prosthetic robotic arm (in one week) & an android (in 10 weeks) to help people with disabilities! In 2014, God used/inspired/convinced me to write this book to help people maximally cleanse (& optimize the health of) their bodies, minds, & souls! Unless otherwise noted, all Scriptures quotations are from the New American Standard Bible (Copyright 2000 by: The Zondervan Publishing House).

I also thank God for the many pioneers in the field of nutrition. Jordan Rubin, ND, C.N.C. is the author of “The Maker’s Diet.”¹ This fantastic book combines Scripture & nutritional science. Phyllis Balch, CNC is the author of “Prescription for Nutritional Healing.”² This thorough book (most recent edition) is an excellent resource on disorders – as well as giving advice on how to achieve optimal health. Dr. Sherry Rogers (in her book Detoxify or Die) & Dr. Linda Greenfield (in her online self-instructional program for healthcare professionals entitled “Over the Edge: Biological Stress & Chronic Conditions”) illustrate how everyone in the world is “FULL OF” more direct body toxins (AKA: toxic heavy metals, industrial chemicals, pesticides, etc.) than ever before. Dr. Rogers & Dr. Greenfield are referenced throughout chapter 3.

I am also grateful to www.naturalsociety.com – a fantastic nutrition & health-based website – whose articles I reference throughout this book.

I also thank God for “Moody’s Radio” (a National radio station) & “Trinity Broadcast Network” (TBN = a National television station) that uses wonderful teachers to bring millions of people closer to God & God’s love (one of the major goals of this book). These wonderful teachers include, but are NOT limited to:

- Bishop T.D. Jakes, Charles F. Stanley, Dr. David Jeremiah, Clarence McClendon, Joyce Meyers, John Hagee, etc.

While they all have extremely different styles, their message is the same (God LOVES you: He always has & He ALWAYS will – this is actually the title of one of Dr. Jeremiah’s books).

I also thank God for all the times I was humbled in life:

- Having the physicians who delivered me tell my parents I would have cerebral palsy – or “be mentally challenged” the rest of my life.

- Having a child-prodigy older sister (who spoke fluently at age 6 months & wrote novels at age 4) & other brilliant cousins (who played piano in front of Carnegie Hall @ age 7) & family members who looked at me as “the good, but slow child.”

- Having all the so-called “Christian” kids hate me from age 8-13 when they found out I was the only Jewish boy in the school. God used me & instructed me to do one more push-up every day until I could do over 1,000 consecutive push-ups. Every time a boy attacked me physically (due to their hatred of me being Jewish): they miraculously tripped over their feet & fell to the ground (God protected me so that I would not be physically harmed –nor would I physically hurt those who attacked me)! Every time a boy or girl threw coins, rocks, or snow balls at me (due to their hatred of me being Jewish): God protected me so that I was never physically harmed. I look back & believe God was using me to send the anti-Semitic children a message: “I, God, will be your shield.”

- Having extremely difficult university courses & being surrounded by all “geniuses” in college making me consider dropping out in my first week of college (By the second semester, God used me to tutor these “geniuses.” These “geniuses” –who initially intimidated me with their superior intelligence, were later paying me to teach/tutor them in the courses we were taking!).

- Having all 3 physical therapy schools reject me in 1990 despite studying 100 hours/week & having close to a perfect GPA & score on the AHPAT test (similar to the “MCATs” for medical schools).

Every time life humbled me (every time life/”the world” knocked me down), I asked God with ALL my heart (& tears in my eyes) to help/USE me (& He “lifted me up”). Every time, God USED me to do miracles in my life that I would have never been able to (or even conceive to be able to) accomplish on my own accord if I was not first humbled. Every time God has done wonderful miracles in your life (as well as mine & probably everyone in the bible), you were probably first humbled - & then worshipped God more than ever & then asked God to help you! Perhaps we should ALWAYS be humble & ALWAYS praise & be thankful to God & then we can receive ALL the blessings God has for us!

I also thank God for giving me an earthly Dad who always gave me love –the greatest gift an earthly Dad can give to their children. I also thank God for an earthly Mom who gave me love & worked 3 jobs (as a single Mom) to support me when I was growing up. I am also thankful to God for having my loving Grandparents & the rest of my Jewish family recognize the dramatic change in my life when God USED me to go from the “weakest brain” of the family (as a child) to the “top 20 college students (in 1990 – at age 20) in the U.S.”^,,v,

Preface

God has inspired me to write this book to help everyone (you, our nation, & hopefully the entire world) become closer to God & to maximally cleanse (& optimize the health of) their bodies, minds, & souls. Authority figures (such as corporate, governmental, &/or religious leaders) have “failed to disclose the truth” to us in order to gain or maintain money &/or power. This has led our nation to become misled & more “FULL OF IT” in the following areas: The word of God, Jesus Christ, our nation’s anti-Godly tax & government policies, Diseases, Obesity, Chronic Pain, Disability, & especially Nutrition. This has led to Americans currently being “FULL OF” more body, mind, & soul toxins than ever before!

“For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their OWN desires, and will turn away their ears from the truth& will turn aside to myths.” 2Timothy 4:3-4

If you don’t want to hear the truth of how to maximally cleanse (& optimize the health of) your body, mind, & soul, don’t read this book! If you want to have your ears tickled & turn away from the truth (& stay “FULL OF” toxins in your body, mind, &/or soul), don’t read this book! If you are not concerned about the growing level of our body, mind, & soul toxicity: then do not read this book! If you do not want to learn how the toxins (including pain) in your mind & soul are connected to the toxins (& pain) in your body, then don’t read this book!

Society’s “irrational apathy & acceptance” regarding the rising flood of body, mind, & soul toxins we are bombarded with (&, unfortunately, “FULL OF”) is very analogous to those who drowned in the flood during the days of Noah! As this “flood” continues to grow on a yearly basis, my goal is that everyone jumps on the “arc of salvation” to cleanse (& optimize the health of) their bodies, minds, & souls!

My personal journey on writing this book came in 1/1/1997 when I became (what society labels) a “Messianic Jew.” Later that year (not a coincidence – but a “God-incidence”) – after researching tons of articles, research studies, & reading many diet-books on colon cleansing (like Robert Grey’s Colon Health Hygiene Handbook) & food-combining (like Mr. & Mrs. Diamond’s Fit For Life) – I “created” a diet (a one-page handout of dietary rules) for myself (as well as over 1,000 of my ADULT friends & family).

Since 1997 I have updated & improved this “diet” to create (what I strongly believe) are the 10 best dietary rules/commandments in the world to create optimal health! This “diet” now includes “super-cleansing foods/supplements.” By simply following these “10 Dietary Commandments,” I & over 1,000 of my “friends & family” (Patients, coworkers, etc.) have received dramatic, life changing improvements in weight loss &/or body fat percentage (if needed), digestion/absorption, elimination, & overall health (& appearance).

As a physical therapist, I see patients (daily) suffering from the consequences of being “FULL OF” physiological, intellectual, & spiritual Toxins. These toxins are destroying their bodies – causing/contributing to chronic pain, obesity, musculoskeletal, neurological, cardiovascular, & immune diseases (as well as other, if not ALL diseases)! Being “FULL OF” toxins in their intestines leads to a whole host of postural dysfunctions (which leads to more chronic pain, weight gain, &/or diseases – which leads to more dysfunctions/diseases). These toxins are also being stored in their neurological system, cardiovascular system, &/or possibly every cell in their bodies.

It is God’s desire that we maximally cleanse (& have optimal health of) our bodies, minds, & souls. God does not want you to be “FULL OF IT!” :) However, like my Jewish ancestors whom God freed from Egypt, most of us do not know (& therefore break: every day – sometimes 3 times per day!) these “10 Dietary Commandments!” As the people of “this world” have gone so far away from God & God’s 10 Commandments, we have strayed farther away from (not ironically) these “10 Dietary Commandments.” Haven’t we wandered through the wilderness long enough?!

This is not your typical “diet book.” This is the only diet book I know of that incorporates: ALL “10 (of what I strongly believe are scientifically – as well as scripturally based) Dietary Commandments.” This book also includes the “10 best non-dietary cleansing methods.” This is the only diet book I know of that connects the body, mind, & soul in such a scientific, scriptural, academic, & intellectual (&, hopefully, educational, entertaining, & helpful) manner.

Thousands of my “friends & family” (which I include as nurses, therapists, physicians, patients, & their family members) have encouraged me write this book to help millions maximally cleanse (& optimize the health of) their bodies, minds, & souls! No more excuses. This book NEEDS to be read by all the peoples of all the nations!

So let it be written, so let it be done!

ENDNOTES

Introduction

The title & sub-title of this book are better understood if these terms are defined.

Definition of a “Toxic Body” (AKA “Physiological Constipation”) =

- Being “FULL OF” intestinal putrefaction (“IT”) stored in your intestines.

- &/or Being “FULL OF” (storing) anti-Godly “direct body” toxins (AKA: “biological, material, &/or environmental toxins” – or “IT”) in your intestines &/or anywhere else in your bodies -including, but not limited to your cardiovascular, neurological, musculoskeletal, & immune systems. I use the term “direct body toxins” as these are toxins (like those from toxic heavy metals, industrial pollutants, harmful microorganisms, drugs, cigarettes, etc.) that directly attack the body. Due to the strong body, mind, & soul connection: there are mind & soul toxins that indirectly attack the body. In addition, this “Physiological Constipation”: can destroy the health of your entire body (as well as your mind & soul)!

Definition of a “Toxic Mind” (AKA “Intellectual Constipation”) =

- Being “FULL OF” anti-Godly Intellectual ignorance, incorrectness, & sinful thoughts (also “IT”) that destroys your mind (as well as your body & soul).

“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.” (Hosea 4:6) Governmental, Corporate, & Religious leaders have “failed to disclose the truth” to us often for financial gain. This has led us to become more misled & “FULL OF” ignorance in the following areas: The living word of God; Jesus Christ; Our nation’s anti-Godly tax & government Politics; Diseases; Obesity; Chronic Pain; Disability; & especially Nutrition! I am not attempting to judge or offend. For example, I have no problem or issue with anyone eating “junk food.” However, when makers (& often political leaders who are financially supported by these makers) of this “junk food” lie to us & tell us that this junk food is part of a healthful, nutritious meal: That is my issue! When this “junk food” breaks all of my “10 Dietary Commandments” (chapter 5), should we tell the consumer that it is healthful? I think not. The truth shall set you free!

Definition of a “Toxic Soul” (AKA “Spiritual Constipation”) =

- Being “FULL OF” anti-Godly Spiritual Toxins (SIN, ignorance &/or incorrectness - also “IT”) that destroys your soul (as well as your body & mind).

Definition of “IT” = therefore, body, mind, &/or soul Toxins! “IT” can be considered “direct body” toxins that directly attack our bodies (& indirectly harm our minds & souls). “IT” can also be “indirect body toxins” (like greed, fear, hatred of others, etc.) that directly attack our minds & souls (& indirectly harm our bodies).

Definition of “FULL OF IT Level of Disease, Obesity &/or Chronic Pain” is the level at which the accumulation & compounding of the combination of all the body, mind, & soul toxins cause or exacerbate diseases, chronic pain, &/or obesity! This is analyzed in chapter 4.

Realize the term “FULL OF IT” is similar to the concept of “absorption &/or storing” toxins in our body, mind, &/or soul. Intestinal waste matter is not truly absorbed “in” the body (it is “stored” in the intestines). Jesus Christ was bombarded with mind & soul toxins – but never sinned (or had any sin “in” Him). One may say that Jesus Christ never became “FULL OF IT!”

Before I discuss the “Goals of this book,” let me preface by informing everyone what my intent is not! My intent is NOT (& NEVER has been) to offend anyone! My intent is NOT to offend:

- Believers or Non-Believers in Christ

- The obese or the emaciated

- &/or the diseased or those who want to optimize their health!

Remember, Americans (whether thin or overweight) - as well as possibly everyone else across God’s planet - are currently “FULL OF” more toxins (“IT”) in their body, mind, & soul than ever before. The question is: at what level does the accumulation & compounding of these body, mind, & soul toxins cause or exacerbate diseases, obesity, &/or chronic pain – in you? I term this “level” the “FULL OF IT Level of Disease, Obesity, &/or Chronic Pain.” This increased level of toxicity is the largest health care crisis of the 21^st century as it is destroying the health of the bodies, minds, & souls of everyone on God’s planet!

If this book improves or saves the life/lives of you &/or anyone else you know, then the book has served its’ purpose! I feel very strong that the number one goal of any health care PROVIDER (whether you are a Home Health Aide or the Wealthiest Physician) is to HELP PEOPLE! There is nothing wrong with enjoying the financial fruits of your labor. However, money should not be the number one reason why any health care provider works! No carpenter on this earth has ever built anything better than what my carpenter in Heaven has built for us!

Thus, the major goals of this book are to help you:

Share/disclose the truth (to set you free) in the following areas: The living word of God; Jesus Christ; Our nation’s anti-Godly Tax & Government Policies; Diseases; Obesity; Chronic Pain; Disability; Health of your body, mind, & soul; & especially Diets & Nutrition

Become closer to God (& God’s Love)

Maximally CLEANSE (& optimize the health of) your body, mind, & soul.

& prevent from becoming “FULL OF IT” again – or possibly in the first place! Our environment is more toxic (“FULL OF” an enormous, & growing, amount of direct body toxins – as well as mind & soul toxins) than ever before in the history of God’s earth. However, we don’t have to become “FULL OF IT!”

This book teaches us how to do this via dietary AND non-dietary methods (natural AND super-natural means). To achieve these major goals, smaller below-mentioned goals should be achieved.

Goals of this book – Read this book if you want to learn the following:

- 1. We are “FULL OF” more mind & soul toxins (“IT”) than ever before (Chapters 1 & 2).

Being “FULL OF” these sins is a major reason why we are “FULL OF” more disease, chronic pain, & obesity than ever before. We are being exposed to/bombarded with more mind & soul toxins than ever before from the internet, television, radio, strangers, co-workers, even friends, family, etc.! What’s worse is that we are “holding on”/storing/accumulating (becoming “FULL OF”) these mind & soul toxins – which indirectly (if not directly) hurt your body.

- 2. We are “FULL OF” more “direct body toxins” (“IT”) than ever before (Chapter 3).

Being “FULL OF” these “direct body toxins” (toxic heavy metals, industrial chemicals, pesticides, harmful microorganisms, etc.) is a major contributing factor to why we are “FULL OF” more disease, chronic pain, & obesity than ever before. We are being exposed to/bombarded with more “direct body toxins” than ever before from the food we eat, air we breathe, water we drink & bathe in, etc.! What’s worse is that we are storing/accumulating (becoming “FULL OF”) these direct body toxins (in our intestines, brains, cardiovascular system, &/or every cell in our body) – which indirectly (if not directly) hurt your mind & soul. Remember: treating your body (the temple of the Holy Spirit) like a sewer is also a sin!

- 3. We should “blame” our being “FULL OF” more diseases, obesity, & chronic body pain than ever before on the increased exposure to - & accumulation & compounding effect of - the COMBINATION of the increased body, mind, & soul toxins reaching our “FULL OF IT Level of Disease, Obesity, &/or Chronic Pain.”

WHY/HOW we become diseased, obese, &/or in chronic pain is best explained (in my strong opinion) by this “FULL OF IT Level” concept.

Although we are living longer, we are NOT thriving longer. We are living longer – with a lower level of health & fitness. More Americans are at or above this “FULL OF IT Level” than ever before. Therefore: We are “FULL OF” more diseases (especially chronic diseases), obesity, &/or disability – with chronic pain than ever before.

Our being “FULL OF” “direct body toxins” (“IT”) is strongly related to the Mind & Soul Toxins (“IT”) we are “FULL OF!” Said differently: Our “Physiological Constipation” (toxic build up stored in our intestines & the rest of our bodies) is strongly related to our Toxic Minds & Souls!

The strong similarity amongst all 3 abovementioned definitions is by no mistake or accident. The mind-body-soul connection has been studied & written about before –but is still extremely under-recognized. In addition, no other book has ever come even close (in my strong opinion) to connect all 3 in such an educational (&, hopefully, entertaining) manner! One may say that: if you do NOT believe there is a strong connection between the health of your body, mind, & soul – then “YOU’RE FULL OF IT!” This book will help the reader decide the answer to the following questions (pertaining to the body-mind-soul connections):

Have our “Toxic Bodies” caused our minds (including our personalities) & souls to become toxic!?

Asked differently: Has our “Physiological Constipation” (Being “FULL OF” direct body toxins) caused our minds & souls to become “FULL OF IT!?” Additionally: Can our chronic body pain cause “pain” in our minds & souls?

Have our “Toxic Minds & Souls” caused our bodies to become toxic!?

Asked differently: Has our “Intellectual & Spiritual Constipation” caused our bodies to become “FULL OF IT!?” Additionally: Can the “pain” in our minds & souls cause our chronic body pain?

Should we blame diseases (including obesity & chronic pain) on just one body, mind, or soul toxin?

Should we blame diseases (including obesity & chronic pain) on just one type (body, mind, or soul) of toxin?

What is causing us to be more “FULL OF” of diseases, obesity & chronic pain than ever before? Is it our increased exposure to - & becoming “FULL OF” – more “direct body toxins” (“IT”) than ever before? Or is it our exposure to - & becoming “FULL OF” – more mind & soul toxins than ever before? Our being “FULL OF” more diseases, obesity, & chronic pain (as well as disability) than ever before should be blamed on our increased exposure to - & accumulation & compounding of - the combination of the increased body, mind, & soul toxins reaching our “FULL OF IT Level of

Disease, Obesity, &/or Chronic pain!” It is not wise (in my humble opinion) to believe that diseases, obesity, &/or chronic pain are caused by just one (or even one type/category of) body, mind, or soul toxin. There are thousands of peer-reviewed scientific studies showing how being “FULL OF” one specific direct body toxin (a certain pesticide, toxic heavy metal, industrial pollutant, etc.) can increase the risk of one or more diseases. However, I strongly believe (& hope to prove) that our increased exposure to - & accumulation & compounding of - the COMBINATION of increased multiple body, mind, & soul toxins to the “FULL OF IT level of disease, obesity, &/or chronic pain” is the #1 reason why we are “FULL OF” more diseases, obesity, & chronic pain than ever before! This concept of combining & multiplicity is important to understand when attempting to optimize the health (“CLEANSING”) of your body, mind, & soul.

At what level does the accumulation & compounding of “IT” (these body, mind, & soul toxins) cause or exacerbate diseases, obesity, &/or chronic pain - in YOU? You may be “FULL OF” a level of toxicity just below the amount that would trigger diseases (including obesity &/or chronic pain). If you become “FULL OF” more toxins, then you become so “FULL OF IT” that you cause or exacerbate diseases (including obesity &/or chronic pain). You may pray, get a colonic, go to a sauna, go on a raw organic vegetable juice fast, etc. - to reduce the amount of toxins (in your body, mind, &/or soul) “YOU’RE FULL OF” so that you no longer have the disease (or an inflammation/exacerbation of the disease). But because of our ignorance of nutrition, diet, & health (of our bodies, minds, & souls): we soon become “FULL OF” more toxins which bring us back into this diseased &/or inflamed state (I call the “FULL OF IT Level of Diseases, Obesity, &/or Chronic Pain” – analyzed in chapter 4). Chapters 1-4 basically explain how/why we raise our “FULL OF IT Level.” Chapters 5-7 show how/why we can lower our “FULL OF IT Level.”

This book can change your life - & hopefully change the world for the better. This is not just some diet book. It is a way of life. It is a cleansing of the body, mind, & soul! Should we ignore the truth that most of our “media,” “Hollywood,” our anti-Godly tax & governmental policies (as well as our so-called governmental “representatives”), & the rest of “society” are poisoning our minds & souls?

We should not ignore the truth that our nation has become “FULL OF IT” in the following areas:

- Health & Nutrition (including our diets, exercise –or lack of exercise, posture, obesity, diseases, disability, chronic pain, & our overall health);

- Intellectually (in the above areas –as well as other areas like tax policies, politically, & socio- economically that are hurting ourselves & our nation);

- spiritually (including morally, socially, & attitudinally)!

Should we ignore the connection between the satanic poisoning (“IT”) of our minds & souls & the poisoning of our bodies! We have ALL gone astray so far away (& so often) away from God? Is our wandering in the intellectual & spiritual wilderness NOT destroying our bodies - as well as our minds & souls!? Is our wandering in the wilderness of health & nutrition NOT destroying our minds & souls – as well as our bodies!?

4. To recognize the strong connections between all of our nation’s largest deficits in the following areas:

God deficit. This is indubitably a mind & soul toxin – but (as seen in chapter one) an extremely under-recognized body toxin. For non-believers: this is a direct body toxin (see chapter 1). However – even for believers: This is an indirect body toxin our “God-deficient” society puts on us. We are more deficient in God as a country than ever before. More Americans consider themselves “convinced atheists” than ever before (this is mentioned & referenced in Chapter 2). As our country has strayed farther away from God than ever before, the financial debt of our country has skyrocketed. We have seen an increase in divorce rates, & the amount of money we spend on health care. We have an increased number of working aged Americans on disability benefits. We are “FULL OF” more diseases, obesity, & chronic body pains than ever before. These are NOT coincidences. As our “God-deficit” has grown in our nation, we have become (as a nation): less healthy, more in debt, less intelligent, & more immoral.

Health Deficit. We are “FULL OF” more disease(s), obesity, & chronic pain (as well as disability) than ever before! We often treat our toxic bodies - “FULL OF” diseases - with more toxins (“IT”)! As our health deficit has grown in our nation, we have become (as a nation): more “God-deficient,” more in debt, less intelligent, & more immoral.

Financial Deficit. Our nation is in more financial debt than ever in our history! Our society (“the world”) wants to remove the words: “in GOD we trust” from our currency. If we don’t trust God, who do we trust? Our country was built & blessed “under God.” As we remove God from our country, we become less blessed & more cursed. It is easy to see how our health & moral deficits have also contributed to our financial debt. This financial debt is a mind & soul toxin – as well as an indirect body toxin. As our nation’s financial debt hits record highs, we have become (as a nation): more “God-deficient,” less healthy, less intelligent, & more immoral.

Intellectual Deficit. This is a mind & soul toxin – as well as an indirect body toxin. We have more access (via T.V., radio, internet, cell phones, books, etc.) to the Living Word of God. However, we have replaced the Living Word of God with immoral sinful food for our brains? It is simply a coincidence that our country has become more ignorant in health, nutrition, diets, exercise (or lack of exercise), posture, chronic pain, obesity, diseases, economics/tax-policies, & of God’s Living word than ever before? Have we become lazier than ever before –physically & mentally? Is it a coincidence that our elementary schools (K through 12) have become similar in quality to some 3^rd world nations?! We can’t teach children “creationism” – but are forced to teach them “Darwinism!” Have we removed God from our schools? We have removed praying - & “I pledge allegiance UNDER GOD!” If you believe in the bible, you are considered “arrogant!?” If you are 100% convinced that God does NOT exist, you are considered “open-minded,” a “free spirit!?” Do we really have to wonder why we have fallen so low intellectually!? As our nation’s “intellectual deficit” has grown, we have become (as a nation): more “God-deficient,” less healthy, more in debt, & more immoral.

Moral Deficit. This is a mind & soul toxin – as well as indirect body toxin. Despite the difficulty in objectively measuring our country’s over-all immorality being greater than ever before, this book will attempt to prove just that. We have removed God from our culture & have become more sinful. Are we surprised at how low we have fallen? If morality was listed on the stock exchange, we would be at an all-time low! :) As our nation’s immorality hits record highs, our nation has become: more “God-deficient,” less healthy, more in debt, & less intelligent.

We have failed to recognize how GOD, our morals, finances, & health (of our bodies, minds, & souls) are ALL strongly connected to each other!

Our nation’s largest God, Financial, Intellectual, & Moral Deficits are toxic to your mind & soul – as well as your body. As these deficits are larger than ever before (&, unfortunately, growing), we are more “FULL OF IT” than ever before. Thus: we have become “FULL OF” more diseases, obesity, disability, & chronic pain – than ever before in our nation’s history!

Society’s “irrational apathy” to the flood of body, mind, & soul toxins (including the abovementioned “deficits”) we are “FULL OF” is very analogous to those who drowned in the flood during the days of Noah! How much more time or warning do we need?

- 5. The “10 Dietary Commandments” illustrated in Chapter 5 may be the best “diet” in the world to cleanse (& optimize the health of) our bodies –as well as our minds & souls.

If you believe simply avoiding physical laziness & gluttony (both part of “Dietary Commandment #1”) are the only 2 factors responsible for achieving optimal health of your body, mind, &/or soul – then “YOU’RE FULL OF IT!”

Is the field of nutrition a science or an art? I consider it a scientific ART because every human is different & ever changing. Every human has their own genetic predispositions for diseases. In addition, every human has their own individual preferences (which can change during their lifetime) for food: Tolerances; Allergies; Taste preferences or dislikes; Positive & negative reactions.

Even the “super-cleansing foods &/or supplements” (mentioned in chapter 6) may have a negative reaction on certain individuals. However, every human adult (& most teenagers) will benefit from reading (& absorbing the information) in this book. Every human adult (& most teenagers) may benefit from following ALL of these “10 Dietary Commandments” (which are based on scientific & scriptural principles) to “cleanse” (& optimize the health of) their bodies (as well as their minds & souls). This is because we are “FULL OF” more direct body (as well as intellectual & spiritual) toxins than ever before in our world’s history. Considering the growing level of toxicity we are “FULL OF” in our bodies (as well as our minds & souls), every adult may benefit from reading this book & following these “10 Dietary Commandments.”

Despite the body of knowledge in nutrition doubling every 7 years, we have become “lost” wandering through the wilderness of diet & nutrition. We have become slaves to our “physiological constipation” we intentionally & ignorantly put our bodies through –mostly via breaking these “10 Dietary Commandments!” Most adults are breaking ALL of these “10 Dietary Commandments” – often a few times per day! Is it any wonder why we are more diseased, obese, & in chronic pain than ever before! Imagine if you broke ALL 10 of God’s Commandments every day – three times per day! How healthy would your body, mind, or soul be? :) As society has strayed farther away from God’s 10 Commandments, we have (by no coincidence) strayed farther away from these “10 Dietary Commandments.”

God’s Commandments = His “EMPOWER-ments”

When God commands you to do something: He always enables/helps/empowers you to accomplish it. (Isaiah 41:10)

By simply following these “dietary rules/commandments,” thousands of my “friends & family” have received/reported dramatic, life- changing empowered improvements in the following areas:

- Achieved optimal health & appearance (as per themselves others. However, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.);

- Lost intestinal putrefaction – created optimal elimination;

- Lost hip &/or waist size, weight & body fat (if needed, to an optimum weight & body fat percentage);

- Improved mental functioning, energy, & vitality (reported);

- Felt “cleaner,” “more spiritual,” &/or “closer to God;”

- Reduced or eliminated allergy symptoms;

- Improved their immune function & reported a “decongesting” of their nasal sinuses – with reports of improved air flow &, therefore, sense of smell & cardiopulmonary functioning;

- Detoxed from the bombardment of toxins we are “FULL OF!”

- Reduced or eliminated colitis, heartburn, &/or other acid-reflux symptoms.

- & improved digestion/ABSORPTION of the healthful foods they consumed!

What I’ve said for years: Just because you break these “10 Dietary Commandments” – does NOT mean you will be diseased! Nor am I promising to reverse your disease process. However, you will never achieve your own personal optimal health by breaking “My 10 Dietary Commandments” (on a daily basis)! How well did my ancestors do when they broke God’s 10 Commandments? Haven’t we wandered through the nutritional/dietary wilderness long enough?

As Americans have been increasingly breaking these “10 Dietary Commandments” since the 1970s (if not longer), we have become: more diseased, obese, disabled, & in more chronic pain – than ever before in our nation’s history.

Some “Diet books” mention part of 1 or even a few of these commandments in their Diets. However, this is the 1^st “Diet Book” (that I am aware of) to include ALL 10!

Thus, one of this books goals is to “set you free” from the nutritional & dietary “bondage” (or ignorance/misconceptions/”con jobs”) that we have believed. We have believed that many healthful foods are harmful & many harmful foods are healthful. Even when we get it right – we get it wrong! We believe certain foods have “no value” – when they actually should be considered “super-foods!”

This concept of optimal absorption benefit can be applied to what we “feed & absorb” in our bodies – as well as our minds & souls. Your mind & soul becomes what you feed it & ABSORB! If an atheist reads the entire bible & remains an atheist, they did NOT ABSORB it! If a believer in Christ reads & listens to God’s word in the bible - but does not have love (for all humans) & forgiveness in their heart, they did NOT ABSORB His message!

Said otherwise, when you feed & ABSORB satanic violence & pornography in the movies, video games, televisions, & the internet: you become FULL OF IT! In fact, we have become “desensitized” to this - & other forms of anti-Godly toxicity – that we have polluted our minds & souls with them! Our minds & souls have strayed so far away from God. We have accepted this - & other forms of “Intellectual & Spiritual Constipation” as the norm. Murderers, terrorists, vampires, & other satanic creatures have become “famous,” popular, & accepted as “normal” parts of our culture. Believers in God & God’s word are considered “radical!?”

When you read &/or listen (& ABSORB) God’s word in the Bible: you become alive, full of peace, love, & joy! God wants us to renew like Eagles. Eagles only “eat” living things! God wants our minds & souls to eat & ABSORB the living word of God! God also wants His creation to have optimal physical health –as well!

In summary, goal # 5 of this book is to illustrate how following all 10 of these “10 Dietary Commandments” on a daily basis is a major dietary method to achieve OPTIMAL:

- Digestion & ABSORPTION of the healthful nutrients you consume

- Elimination of the toxins in your intestines – as well as the rest of your body

- & health (“CLEANSING”) of your body (as well as your mind & soul). However, it is NOT the only method. There are Non-Dietary – as well as other dietary (such as certain “Super–Cleansing Foods & Supplements”) methods needed to follow to truly achieve optimal health (& “CLEANSING”) of your body, mind, & soul.

6. To achieve optimal health (& “CLEANSING”) of your body, mind, & soul by using a COMBINATION of: Dietary & Non-Dietary Methods. This includes “Natural” –as well as - “Super-Natural” Methods. This is the major goal of this book. Too many of us believe the lie that simply consuming one “Super-Cleansing Food or Supplement” (listed in Chapter 6) or performing one non-dietary cleansing method (chapter 5) or following one “Dietary Commandment” will create the optimal health of our body (or our mind or soul)! Therefore, optimal health (& maximal “CLEANSING”) of your body, mind, & soul may be achieved by following ALL of the below mentioned methods:

- Trying your best to avoid all spiritual & intellectual toxins you’re bombarded with (chapters 1 & 2)

- Trying you best to avoid all direct body toxins you’re bombarded with (chapter 3)

- Following most, if not ALL, of the “10 Non-Dietary Cleansing Methods” (chapter 5)

- Following ALL of the “10 Dietary Commandments” (chapter 5)

- & consuming many of my “Super-Cleansing Foods & Supplements” (chapter 6).

Remember: God wants you to have optimal health of your body, mind, & soul. God wants you to have a perfectly “clean” body, mind, & soul. These goals can only be achieved by lowering your “FULL OF IT Level” to zero – or as close to zero as possible (God does not want you to be “FULL OF IT)!” I believe this book shows you “the way.”

“Life is but a school. Sometimes you are the teacher - & sometimes you are the student.” I have been stating this since 1988 when I began my college studies. This favorite quote of mine is derived from the famous theater quote: “Life is but a stage -.” However, I believe my quote is more appropriate here. Time to go to school! :) Hope this book achieves its’ primary goal of bringing you (the student when you first read it &, then, the teacher when you teach others) closer to God & cleanse (& optimize the health of) your body, mind, & soul!

CHAPTER 1: “YOU’RE FULL OF” SIN - causing More Diseases, Obesity, & Chronic Pain in our world’s history

This chapter’s primary goal (as well as the primary goal of this entire book) is to bring you closer to God (& God’s Love) & maximally cleanse (optimize the health of your) body, mind, & soul.

This chapter should demonstrate the following facts:

- Every human (whether obese or not) is “FULL OF” SIN (a type of “IT”). Said differently, “YOU’RE FULL OF IT” – whether YOU’RE obese or not!

- Sins are directly toxic to the mind & soul - & indirectly toxic to the body. Said differently, YOU’RE overweight, in chronic pain, &/or DISEASED: because “YOU’RE FULL OF IT” (body, mind, & soul toxins). Said differently: the “pain” (sins) in our mind & soul can exacerbate or even cause our body pains (as well as obesity, diseases, & even death)!

- The accumulation of these sins (added to the direct body toxins – AKA “biological,” “material,” “environmental” toxins –discussed in chapter 3) can reach your own “FULL OF IT Level of Disease, Chronic Pain, &/or Obesity!”

This chapter may also help the reader answer the following question:

- Does being “FULL OF” SIN cause diseases (including obesity) & even death – DIRECTLY or INDIRECTLY? This is similar to the chicken or egg question (of which my answer has always been = eat chicken & eggs - in the “Lifestyle Phase” of this diet book – illustrated in chapters 5 & 6).

Consider the following 2 examples:

“- Example #1: “YOU’RE FULL OF” laziness & gluttony (under-recognized sins illustrated later) on a regular, prolonged basis. According to God’s living word, these sins (like all sins) can DIRECTLY cause diseases (including obesity) & even death. Being “FULL OF” these 2 sins may directly cause the following immediate physiological stress: Weight gain & obesity; Abdominal/gastrointestinal discomfort; Bloating, gas, acid reflux, indigestion, poor absorption of food, & constipation. Thus being “FULL OF” these sins can make you “FULL OF” intestinal putrefaction (one type of “IT” for this book)! This way the body, mind, & soul toxins truly begin to compound destroying your entire body, mind, & soul!

According to the living word of God, being “FULL OF” these sins (like all sins) causes psychological stress because only God can give you optimal peace. The prolonged physiological (mentioned above) & psychological stress of being “FULL OF” these 2 sins can (indirectly) eventually lead a cascade of “physiological stress reactions.” The sympathetic nervous system (the “flight or fight” response) dominates over the parasympathetic (“relaxation” response) nervous system.

This can lead to prolonged elevated cortisol (a stress hormone released by the adrenal cortex in response to stress) levels which may predispose you to the following long-term physiological reactions (illustrated further in chapter 3):

- Atherosclerosis (due to constricting of blood vessels, increased heart rate & blood pressure); Insomnia, chronic fatigue syndrome; Thyroid disorders (which can make you “FULL OF” intestinal waste matter); Dementia, Alzheimer’s, learning difficulties, ADD, ADHD, & OCD; Depression, panic attacks, & anxiety;*** Erectile & fertility dysfunctions (which can make you “FULL OF” more psychological stress reinforcing the cycle); Immune system suppression (which can predispose you to cancers, autoimmune diseases –as well as the cold & flu); Diabetes; Chronic pain (which can lead to physical inactivity – an under-recognized killer); & (as mentioned above) weight gain, obesity, mal-absorption, acid reflux, indigestion, & constipation! It is obvious to see how all of the abovementioned “stress reactions” can lead to more physiological & psychological stressors & diseases. Thus, the cycle of SIN causing diseases directly & indirectly continues.

- Example #2: “YOU’RE FULL OF” fear (an under-recognized SIN discussed later). You may be fearful of losing your finances, health, &/or relationships. According to God’s living word this sin (like all sin) can DIRECTLY cause diseases (including obesity & chronic pain) & even death. In addition, being “FULL OF” this sin (like all sin) for a prolonged period of time can directly create tremendous psychological stress (as you are not trusting God with your problems in life & only God can give you optimal peace) – leading (indirectly) to the abovementioned physiological reactions.

***Thus, being “FULL OF” fear for a prolonged period of time can actually cause your body to create more anxiety, panic attacks, & fear. This way the cycle of SIN causing diseases directly & indirectly continues! “YOU’RE FULL OF” SIN - & this directly & indirectly leads to becoming “FULL OF” diseases (including obesity, chronic pain, & even death)!

I. “YOU’RE FULL OF” SIN = an under-recognized & Modifiable cause/risk factor of ALL Diseases - including Obesity, Chronic Pain - & even Death

Asked differently: Is our “Intellectual & Spiritual Constipation” the #1 modifiable cause of: ALL diseases & even death? Additionally: Is the “pain” in our minds & souls causing the pain (as well as obesity &/or diseases) in our bodies?

Most diet books usually put a “spiritual” aspect of their diet towards the end of the book. However, I believe this is part of the problem we have in society. We turn to God for help -AFTER we have tried things every other way. After “the world” has failed us, then & only then, we (hopefully) turn to God to help us. No matter what, He always has time to listen & help us! There is no better Physician in the world than God. You don’t need health insurance or have to make an appointment (waiting days or weeks) to see Him! :)

Is a “Toxic Mind & Soul” modifiable?

God’s word defines the word “repentance” as a change of your mind/attitude resulting in a turning away from wickedness & towards belief & acceptance in a relationship with God. (Jeremiah 8:6; 31:19, 20) If you “feed” your mind/soul (& ABSORB) wicked sins of the flesh (Galatians 5:19-21), you will become wicked! If you “feed” your mind/soul (& ABSORB) the word of God, you will bear the fruits of the Holy Spirit = love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, & self-control. (Galatians 5:22-23)

This foundation of this entire “diet” book is based on the law of ABSORPTIONFULL OF
