Health Menace – Waxed Fruits & Vegetables!
Top medical experts reveal another menace to the nation’s health – a toxic wax on fruits and vegetables.
Next time you eat an apple, green pepper or cucumber, etc. take a good look at its surface. Is it bright, smooth and have a glossy look? If so, beware! Chances are it’s coated with a wax paraffin solution which is one of America’s most serious health threats, according to medical experts! Scratch surface to check for wax. The wax coating seals fruits and vegetables with a protective layer which they claim retains the water and juices, preserving the taste and creating a false appearance of freshness. It leaves a toxic wax residue that clogs the body!
What you are eating is a kind of wax that cannot be handled by your body – a paraffin wax which is a byproduct of petroleum. There is no organ in your body, including the liver, that can process petroleum. This deadly wax therefore runs wild in the body. That is one reason doctors are so baffled by the many new diseases that American people are acquiring from eating foods contaminated by commercial food interests. Demand organic produce and unwaxed fruits and vegetables from all your produce markets - this helps get results!
This wax can cause damage if it remains in the body. You must stop eating waxed fruits and vegetables. If you must, then be sure to peel the skin. Your weekly 24 to 36 hour fast combined with longer fasts during the year will help rid your body of this wax, if you do eat some.
Food Supply Poisoned by Greedy Men
Thousands of synthetic food additives, chemicals, fertilizers and pesticides dumped into the nation’s food and water supply are responsible for a great deal of sickness. For years our foods have been loaded with socalled “safe” chemicals that now have been discovered harmful to the human body. Sadly, many toxic pesticides are still being used! My friend, Rachel Carson, in her classic book, Silent Spring, exposed the harm the chemical industry was causing to the human population, as well as the environment and all wildlife. Please read Silent Spring, available at most libraries. It’s a must read!
Synthetic, Toxic Food Additives Can Kill!
A vast amount of chemical poisons contaminate our food. Most commercial interests are not concerned with our health and lives. The economic bottom line is their main concern. It’s best and safer to eat live, organically grown foods whenever possible. Avoid complicated, chemicalized, preserved foods. Read the labels of all foods you purchase! Ask questions about any special products and foods you like – even write the company and ask for a complete nutritional and chemical analysis.
Beware of Harmful Salt
Would you use sodium, a caustic alkali, to season your food? Or chlorine, a poisonous gas? “Ridiculous questions,” you say. “Nobody would be foolhardy enough to do that.” Of course not. But the shocking truth is that most people do just that because they don’t know that these powerful chemicals constitute the inorganic crystalline compound known as salt. For centuries, the expression “salt of the earth” has been used to designate something good and essential. This idea is erroneous! Salt may actually help to bury you!
Salt: Some Startling Facts
How Did the Salt Habit Originate?
Gustav von Bunge, a biochemist, explains that in prehistoric times there was a balance of organic sodium and potassium minerals in the earth. But continued rainfall over centuries washed away the more soluble organic sodium salts. In time, many land-grown foods and soils became deficient in sodium, but high in potassium. The result was that animals and humans developed a craving for something to replace this mineral deficiency. They found an ineffective and highly dangerous substitute in salt (inorganic sodium chloride).
Salt Causes Edema, Kidney Problems, etc.
The Myth of the “Salt Lick”
Is a low-salt diet a deficient diet? Don’t we need plenty of salt in our diets to keep us in top physical condition? This is a popular notion, but is it true? People will tell you that animals will travel for miles to visit so called “salt licks”. I investigated salt licks where wild forest animals congregate from miles around to lick the soil. Although all of these sites were known as “salt licks”, the one chemical property they all had in common was a complete absence of sodium chloride. There was absolutely no organic or inorganic sodium at the salt licks. But they all had an abundance of other organic minerals and nutrients which the animals craved.
Why Cows are Given Large Amounts of Salt
Death Valley Hike Proved Salt Dangerous
Most people have the preconceived idea that salt lost through perspiring must be immediately replaced. Many factories supply salt tablets to their workers. They mistakenly believe these are helpful! But are these salt tablets necessary? In my opinion: “NO!”
To prove definitely to myself that I did not need salt during extremely hot weather, I went to Death Valley, California, one of the hottest spots in the entire world during July and August. On my first test I hired 10 husky, strong young college athletes to make the hike in Death Valley from Furnace Creek Ranch to Stovepipe Wells, a distance of approximately 30 miles.
Historical Proof That Salt is Not Needed
Rommel’s German-Afrikan Corps swept across the gates of Egypt, fought and lost a hard battle at El Alamein.
Then they retreated over miles of blazing desert. Yet, when the war was over, the English found the captured troops in good physical condition, even though the German soldiers were not supplied with salt tablets. This story – just as my own Death Valley hike, which was also performed in the blazing desert sun – supports the findings of many experiments performed on humans with a non-salt diet under hot desert conditions. What happens, according to the scientific studies, is that: after the first few days of becoming acclimatized, the subjects stop losing salt through perspiration.

How Much Salt Can the Body Tolerate Daily?
There’s been a great deal of research on salt tolerance. The American Heart Association recommends that healthy adults reduce their sodium intake to no more than 2400 milligrams per day. But the body’s actual physiological sodium requirement is less than 500 mg daily. Unfortunately, the average American salt addict actually consumes daily 2 to 5 times his sodium tolerance!

Fasting De-Salts The Body Cells and Organs
I have had over 70 years experience with the science and use of rational fasting. And I have found that in 4 days of complete fasting we can de-salt the body. The urine will reveal the story of salt. Take a 4 day complete distilled water fast. Nothing must pass through your body for 4 days, except for distilled water and ACV drink.
Drink at least 8 to 10 glasses daily to flush the salt out. Each morning take a sample of the first urine your body passes. Put these urine bottles (labeled) on a shelf to settle for 3 weeks, then look at them in the sunlight.
