Page 56 - How to stay healthy in an unhealthy world

One of the first books on juicing I ever read. And the best one. I was amazed that Norman was still healthy and working in his 90s
The Story Of Norman Walker
Norman Walker
vegetable juicing
(4 January 1886 – 6 June 1985)
was a British businessman and pioneer in the field
of
and nutritional health. He
advocated the drinking of fresh raw vegetable and
fruit juices, both to regain and to maintain one's
health.
His was one of the first books on juicing I ever
read. I still have it stored somewhere. What
amazed me was how healthy he was and how long
he lived. According to some who knew him, it was
actually 119 years not the 99 as officially stated.
Since he was not born in the USA, it’s possible.
Walker recommends a diet based solely on raw
and fresh foods like vegetables, fruits,
nuts
and
seeds. He considered cooked or baked food dead
and therefore unhealthful, saying that "while such
food can, and does, sustain life in the human
system, it does so at the expense of progressively
degenerating health, energy, and vitality."
He believed that dairy products especially, had a
negative effect on human health. He also, as I have,
testified to the disappearance of many ailments
upon the exclusion of dairy products. He explained
that pathogenic organisms find an ideal breeding
ground in the excess mucus that dairy products
generate.
He cited the following diseases as being
aggravated or caused by mucus conditions in which dairy products are the major offender:
undulant fever, colds, flu, bronchial troubles,
tuberculosis, asthma, hay fever, sinus trouble,
pneumonia and certain types of arthritis.
His diet suggestions avoided such staple foods as bread, pasta and rice, and sugar.
