FRESH, RAW VEGETABLES ACT AS OXYGEN CATALYSTS

Many countries have found that raw food has an energy-tuning effect on the oxygen consuming cells.

Raw foods are now known to increase cellular respiration.  They increase the rate at which the cells can use oxygen, and also the rate at which they absorb nutrients and excrete wastes.

The Russians believe that this 'oxygen catalyst' effect of raw foods at the cellular level lies at the very heart not only of improved athletic performance, but in defeating and triumphing over the ageing process itself.

This is exciting research which is quickly extending the frontiers of our understanding.  With the right sort of food and exercise, it is possible to have, 'a longer youth and a longer middle age'.

HORSERADISH - Another natural immunostimulant with powerful anti-germ qualities.  Gallops through the system and unblocks mucus and congestion.
