To the logical thinker it is plain that a sound body cannot be built of poor material.  Of  what does the right material for body-building consist?  How shall we judge?  We read many books, attend lectures, we hear divers theories expounded.

We must judge by results,  "By their fruits ye shall know them."  A system of living which will take us through life without sickness and without fatigue is sought by all.  Taking this as a criterion, the natural food system stands the test.  It gets results--not only the negative results of freedom from sickness and fatigue, but creates a  new feeling of well-being and vigor.  However, those who have built their bodies year after year of poor material and too much of it, must not expect to rejuvenate themselves quickly.  There are no miracles in nature.  Results of a lifetime of indulgence in cooked food cannot be expected to be eradicated by just a few meals of natural food.

People who have existed for years on devitalized food, when making the change to natural or uncooked food, sometimes complain of not feeling satisfied on their new diet.  This is because their body cells are clamoring for the old stimulants, cooked foods, of which they are built.  Such individuals usually do not realize that the artificial energy which they experience for a time on the cooked food diet is but due to whipping or irritation of the nerves by the poisons with which the system is loaded.

In cleansing a dirty house dust will arise and inconveniences must be endured.   When one resolves to cleanse the physical temple after a long period of wrong living it must be remembered that the eliminations which will occur are preliminaries in the re-building process.  Perseverance must be the watchword during these temporary conditions, in the knowledge that the disagreeable symptoms will soon give way to normal and healthy reactions.  It will be found that the cleansing period will be shortened if, in addition to natural food, sun and air baths are indulged in, thus encouraging elimination through the skin, also deep breathing and exercising.  Remember that "Nature cures, not the physician", and once the question of the proper care of the body is settled, the natural life bay be lived automatically.  It isn't necessary to talk and think food ad nauseam, but go about the real business of living, knowing that the body will not intrude upon our attention with the usual train of ills which mankind unnecessarily endures.

These recipes you will find simple, economical and satisfying to the unperverted taste--more so with time,  They are in use at our Dining Room, the Eutropheon.
