FLP eBook 1 - Regaining Your Health and Vitality Through Your Natural Body Cycles
Ask Yourself. Am I Present? Awaken the Observer and Come Present to Now.
With great gratitude, appreciation and praise we welcome you to the creation space of self love, courage, inspiration and the peace of mind that comes from gently balancing and lowering your brainwaves.
Listening to this THETA wave will assist you in creating a transformative meditative state, that will quiet your mind, relieve tension in your body, soothe your spirit, and help you remember how good it feels to be fully present in this beautiful moment of now.
Listen to this THETA brainwave as you study the following lesson.
All creatures including human beings throughout the world are bound and subject to three life cycles. These cycles have precise and established hours set by the Universal Laws Of Nature. Ask Yourself. Am I Present? Awaken the Observer and come present to now!
THE ELIMINATION CYCLE / BODY CYCLE #1
The elimination cycle starts at 4:00 AM and ends at 12:00 NOON. During this cycle the body eliminates body-producing poisons, waste matter and materials, salts, proteins, and uric acids in liquid, solid, and gaseous forms.
During this cycle, by feeding the body adequate amounts of fresh fruit, fresh fruit juice and natural fruits of the season, this creates an ideal condition to help in the cleansing and elimination processes of the body.
APPROPRIATION / BODY CYCLE #2
The appropriation cycle starts at 12:00 NOON and ends at 4:00 PM. During this cycle the body takes in and stores food to consume them. Then the body starts an absorption process of the foods. It is recommendable to eat fresh raw vegetables for lunch (a salad) with a starch source to help support the body's biochemical balance.
THE ASSIMILATION CYCLE / BODY CYCLE #3
The assimilation cycle starts at 8:00 PM and ends at 4:00 AM, which then starts the elimination cycle, etc. The assimilation cycle is the time to heal, build, and re-energize. During this cycle the body assimilates all the foods given that day and utilizes them for the rebuilding, reconstruction, and the regeneration of the entire human body.
****VERY IMPORTANT****
It is important to retire to bed early (sundown or before 9:30 PM at the latest) in order to receive the beneficial regenerative electro-magnetic fields of the earth.
Sleeping 2 to 5 hours before 12:00 midnight enables our bodies to increase the natural healing powers and immune system within us, to heal our body. It also increases the flushing effect of the elimination process that starts in the morning during the elimination cycle.
DAILY DIET PLAN
BREAKFAST (Fruit meal)
Have breakfast between 4:00 AM and 12:00 Noon.
Eat fresh fruit, freshly squeezed fruit juice or a fruit salad as a meal with the appropriate fruit combinations. EAT OR DRINK ONLY FRUIT.
EAT MELONS ALONE!
Melons are one of the simplest foods to digest. So simple, in fact that they proceed directly to the intestines. If they are held up in the stomach by other foods, they will decompose quickly and ferment. It is very good to make a meal of a melon.
NOTE: You can eat different variety of fruits throughout the whole morning. Do not mix sweet fruits with acid fruits. You may mix sweet with sub-acid or acid with sub-acid
ACID FRUITS- Lemons, Oranges, Pineapples, Strawberries, Grapefruit, Kumquats, Sour fruits, Tomatoes, Tangerines, Lime.
SUB-ACID- Apricots, Apples, Pears, Nectarines, Sweet Plums, Cherries, Mango, Raspberries, Blackberries, Cranberries.
SWEET FRUITS- Bananas, Papaya, Dates, Prunes, Grapes, Cantaloupe, Coconuts,
Mangos, Melons, Peaches, Pears, Watermelon, Dates, Figs, Grapes, Pomegranates, Honeydew melon.
MID MORNING SNACK- If you get hungry between breakfast and lunch, you may snack on 1 of the following items. Pick 1 only. Fresh fruit, fresh raw vegetable sticks, almonds, cashews and pumpkin seeds.
LUNCH
Vegetable and Starch meal
Have lunch between 12:00 NOON and 4:00 PM in the afternoon. Eat a large fresh salad first before eating anything else. Select two to four different fresh vegetables and have them raw, steamed, baked, sautéed, or as a soup. You may also have one "starch" source. MIX 2 TABLESPOONS OF FLAXSEED OIL, COLD PRESSED OLIVE OIL, OR GRAPESEED OIL OVER SALAD TO PROVIDE YOUR BODY WITH THE ESSENTIAL OILS IT NEEDS. You may use an organic salad dressing, or an oil and organic apple cider vinegar mixture. You may use Celtic sea salt instead of regular salt for seasoning or Braggs Amino Acid blend.

INFORMATION ABOUT FOODS
Fruits pass through the digestive system very rapidly. They usually leave the stomach within 30 minutes and enter the small intestine, where they continue to digest. But if you eat them with other foods (such as a protein or a starch) they take 3-5 hours to digest, the fruit is held up and starts to ferment. This means poor assimilation of nutrients but, more importantly, it sets up a perfect environment for yeast overgrowth, as they feed off the sugar produced from the fermentation
ACID / ALKALINE FOODS
When animal proteins (meats) and starches are metabolized (burned in the body) the normal end products are "acidic." Some of these acid ashes are:
· Uric acid // Sulfuric acid // Phosphoric acid
Fresh fruits and raw vegetables neutralize these acids. All fresh fruits and vegetables contain salts of alkalizing metals. Some of these alkalizers are:
· Calcium // Magnesium // Sodium // Potassium
The body uses these natural organic alkalizers to make all acid residues harmless. These live foods also help to eliminate acids in a natural and effective manner. A balanced food plan contains 20 percent acid-forming foods and 80 percent alkalizing foods.
PROTEINS & STARCHES
The gastric juices contain three enzymes, which act upon proteins, fats, and milk. They are pepsin, lipase, and rennin respectively. Protein digestion requires an acid environment initiated by the secretion of pepsin into the stomach. Pepsin splits the protein molecule forming hydrochloric acid. As the stomach gains in acidity, while digesting protein, starch digestion comes to an end. We may say that those conditions, which are optimum for protein digestion, exclude starch digestion and worse than that, the introduction of the starch almost neutralizes the acid, deactivating both enzymes, creating the climate for putrefaction.
** Beets, potatoes, rice, cauliflower, and other starches make poor combinations with proteins.
DO NOT MIX PROTEINS WITH STARCHES IN THE SAME MEAL
FATS & PROTEINS
Fat can lessen the activity of gastric juices by as much as 50%. Fat depresses the gastric secretion of pepsin in addition to insulating food particles with a protective fatty shield.
Green vegetables, especially raw, will counteract the effect of fat. Eat greens (raw vegetables) with a fat-protein meal.
ALWAYS EAT RAW VEGETABLES WITH FAT/PROTEIN MEAL
ACIDS AND STARCHES
The digestion of starches begins in the mouth with an enzyme called "Ptyalin." Saliva, high in ptyalin, is secreted by the salivary glands and reduces starch to maltose, which is reduced in the intestine to dextrose. Ptyalin will not act in a mildly acidic or strong alkaline environment. The old adage, "chew your food 100 times" is not only for mastication, but to mix ptyalin with starchy foods.
The acid in regular vinegar, grapefruits, lemons, or other sour fruits will completely stop the action of ptyalin, resulting in a poorly digested meal that will likely putrefy, decreasing the nutritional value and nutritional quality of the digested foods.
DO NOT MIX ACIDS WITH STARCHES IN THE SAME MEAL
ACIDS AND PROTEINS
Pepsin (a protein digesting enzyme) will act favorably in an acid environment, but one might suppose that the addition of more acids, such as citrus fruits, might improve the digestive process. This is not so. The addition of citrus or other acids stops the secretion of the gastric juices necessary for the digestion of the proteins. Either the pepsin will not be secreted in the presence of an acid, or the acidic environment will destroy pepsin.
Any acid eaten on a salad (vinegar or lemon), eaten with a protein meal stops the production of hydrochloric acid by pepsin interfering with protein digestion.
There is an exception to this rule; acids may be combined with nuts and seeds because the high fat content of these foods will postpone gastric secretion until the acids have been assimilated into the body.
DO NOT MIX ACIDS WITH PROTEINS
SUGARS AND PROTEINS
If two distinctly different high proteins (animal proteins) are eaten together, the amount of digestive secretions for each may serve to stop the action of the other. The body modifies the digestive process to the requirements of each food. Suppose milk was eaten with meat, this would initiate a highly acidic reaction, which would upset the proportion of pepsin and lipase acting on the meat. Both proteins would be incompletely digested. Non-starchy vegetables and succulent vegetables make the best combinations with proteins.
NOTES: You can eat any amount of fresh salad that you wish, but do not "over eat" on them. Use one or two varieties of lettuces that are real "green" such as spinach, romaine lettuce or Boston lettuce. Besides lettuce, you can choose other types of vegetables from the list above to put into your salad. Do not use iceberg lettuce
NOTE: Three fourths of our daily intake should be from the "Alkaline" group. They should be eaten separately from the acid group.
NOTE: All vegetables and fruits are alkaline-forming in their raw state.
NOTE: Cooked and fried foods are acid forming. All dairy products, meat, fish, poultry, sweets (except raw honey) and unsprouted flour products are acid forming.

Notes on Drinking Water
Drinking Water must be DISTILLED. You must drink 2 quarts of water daily. ADD 3 tablespoons of Organic Apple Cider Vinegar per gallon of distilled water.
The bodies of all living organisms are composed largely of water. About 70 to 90 percent of all organic matter is water. During the period of regaining your health, you must avoid all other drinks and liquids. This includes carbonated beverages, coffee, tea, alcohol, etc… Fresh vegetable and fruit juices can be used as meal replacements. Fruit juice for breakfast and vegetable juice to substitute the salad for lunch or dinner.
The chemical reactions in all plants and animals that support life take place in a water medium.Water not only provides the medium to make these life sustaining reactions possible, but water itself is often an important reactant or product of these reactions. In short, the chemistry of life is water chemistry. Water, which makes up over 70% of our body, has the most influence in determining how our body remains healthy. But in order for health to continue, our body requires that its water be clean and free from contamination.
The Nationwide Food Consumption Surveys have indicated that the majority of the population may be moderately dehydrated. Several factors may increase the likelihood of chronic, mild dehydration, including a poor thirst mechanism, dissatisfaction with the taste of water, consumption of caffeine, carbonated beverages and alcohol, exercise and environmental conditions. Dehydration of as little as 2% loss of body weight results in impaired physiological and performance responses. Water consumption can have an effect on the risk of urinary stone disease, cancers of the breast, colon and urinary tract, childhood and adolescent obesity, mitral valve prolapse, salivary gland function, and overall health in the elderly (Kleiner 1999).
Hydration or water availability to cells and tissues is important for increasing the overall function and health of cells. Research has shown that babies have a higher level of intracellular water typically than aging adults. Szent-Gyorgyi in the "Pathology of Water: made the association that muscle tissue, cartilage, connective tissue including skin, "aged" or became less pliable with time due to the lack of water provided to cells and tissues. Much of his early research was with muscle tissue and he realized that the aging process was substantially due to cellular and tissue effects of dehydration (Szent-Gyorgyi 1971).
Lack of intracellular water or dehydration is predicted today to be part of the "aging" process. It stands to reason that water and the many roles it plays generally and specifically for all parts of the body will enhance many biochemical and physiological functions important to overall health when it is available to cells and tissues.
