A gentleman (we'll call him "John") shared a story with us on a tele conference call I attended. John used to have a whole host of health problems, as well as being quite small physically. This was from a disorder which prevented him from growing to a normal adult size. Here's what John shared with us:

"I started at 134 pounds and was diagnosed with colon cancer and cancer of the esophagus. I went down to 63 pounds because my villi was completely clogged from all the years of anti-inflammatory medicine and all the bad food choices. And emotional issues of having arthritis as a child.

My villi was totally destroyed. I was told that at 63 pounds I was going to lose more weight to get rid of more acid and more fat which binds the acid.

I actually went down to 58 pounds. Yet after about 10 weeks of being on a liquid feast and following the program completely, the villi regenerated itself, the microscopy proved it, and I went back up to 109 pounds."

Wow. John is now healthy and full of energy. You can hear it in his voice as he tells his story of how he turned his health around.

And he did it by...

1) providing his body with the right kind of fuel and

2) using his body's innate ability to continually regenerate itself

Here's what happened. He started to create slightly better quality blood, which began to rebuild his intestinal villi, which then created even better quality blood, which then completely regenerated a whole new intestinal villi structure in his small intestine.

With his new blood supply and new intestinal villi that could now fully absorb the nutrition he was putting into his body, he reversed the decline in his health and built a whole new John. Cell by cell, organ by organ.

This is such an important concept for you to understand and remember that I'm going to give it to you again.

• You start by consistently putting the appropriate fuel into your body AND at the same time eliminating the wrong fuel.
  
  
• Even though your body's ability to create good quality new blood is still compromised, your body is nevertheless still constantly replacing itself by forming new cells to replace the many millions of cells that die every minute.
  
  
• So, when you are taking in the right kind of fuel, the red blood cells that you create next week are going to be a little bit better quality than what you are creating today.
  
  
• Now that you are creating better blood and eliminating the things that destroy your intestinal villi, as your body continues to naturally replace itself you start to create intestinal villi that function at a healthier and healthier level.
  
  
• This in turn allows you to more fully absorb the fuel you are putting into your body.
  
  
• This translates into better and better quality blood being produced day by day, week by week. Which in turn leads to the creation of better quality cells, tissues and organs.

See, it's like a snowball effect. An arresting of the downward health spiral that reverses and turns into a slow upward spiral that gradually increases in velocity towards a healthier you. Are you getting the idea?

So now you are probably saying, "Ok, Andy. I get it. So what kind of food creates healthy blood?" The answer is chlorophyll rich, alkaline foods. And healthy fats. The specifics of which we will cover in the next issue of Foundations of Health.

All the best,

- Andy
