Hi Gale,

 

Welcome! I'm glad you're doing well and want to do better.

 

Dr. Barnard's book would be considered a transitiion approach to the Natural Hygiene lifestyle.

NEAL D. BARNARD, M.D.

The new four food groups are grains, legumes, vegetables, and fruits. Meat and dairy lose their food group status, and fruits and vegetables no longer share a single group. This straightforward proposal sets in motion the most powerful dietary policy ever, one charged with the potential to save tens of millions of lives, including your own.

In Food for Life, Dr. Barnard makes the clearest case yet for this dietary revolution. Citing overwhelming medical evidence (previously downplayed by powerful lobbying groups), Dr. Barnard reveals why a diet based on the new four food groups will sharply decrease the risk of cancer and heart disease and dramatically increase life expectancy. And, most important, the quality of those later years will take a dramatic turn toward vitality and well-being.

Dr. Barnard unveils a 21-day program for a smooth transition to the new four food groups. These foods are naturally low in fat, cholesterol, and salt; high in fiber, vitamins, and minerals; and will enable you to eat as much as you want and still lose weight! Dr. Barnard's program takes into consideration a wide range of special needs and situations, and each daily menu and recipe shows just how enticing and flexible the new four food groups can be.

Food for Life proposes a bold new remedy for a society burdened by health problems. It also provides a specific plan for everyday people, a program full of practical and appealing suggestions for changing the way we eat. Food for Life has the power to transform the future, to give us all the opportunity for a long and vital life.

This little booklet packs a big message. The negative side of grain production and consumption is explored from angles such as the history of grain use, nutrition, ecology, energy, environment, sports performance, health, addictions, disordered eating, and much more.

Also, many hygienists have trouble digesting legumes and do not use them much, preferring nuts and seeds.

 

You might want to see if Healthful Living International has a group or classes in your area.

Or you could do as I did, have personal consultations with the co-leader of our Toronto Natural Hygiene Support Group, Les, tel. 416-887-0333. He turned my health around from dismal to fully functioning, after I had years of attending lectures, presentations and seminars from many of the world's leaders in natural care and I had received years of patient care from several of the finest natural doctors in Toronto.

 

Best regards,

 

Dianne

Hi, I am interested in learning more about natural hygiene.  I have
used the FooD For Life book for a diet and it works really good but I
need more information.  Do you know if there are any support groups or
classes in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area in Texas. Thank you Gale Porter.
