Our research has earned us praise from people all over the world. If you are one that likes to read then you can 'get lost' in our site.

However, we know that we live in a busy world with many demands on our time. We can summarize our research on this page. The rest of it you can read for yourself by clicking on the links to the left.

  • The plant Medicago Sativa (alfalfa) is unlike any plant in the world. Its roots can reach as deep as 130 feet into the earth pulling every know vitamin, mineral and trace element that the body needs into its rich green leaves.

  • The leaves are turned into a powder that can be mixed or blended with your favorite juice or beverage. This 'macronutrient' supplies perfect nutrition to the human body.

  • From the leaves we derive 'oXygenz' Chlorophyllins, now proven to prevent certain cancers, including breast and liver. It also aids in carrying oxygen to body cells.

  • "The risk of liver, colon, stomach, and lung cancer which include the leading causes of cancer death in the US and the world, may easily be cut in half by appropriate daily intake of simple, safe, inexpensive chlorophyll derivatives."  Dr. Richard C. Heimsch

  • Pure water is rare. The Natural Resources Defense Council report recently concluded that; "Therefore‚ while much tap water is indeed risky‚ having compared available data‚ we conclude that there is no assurance that bottled water is any safer than tap water."

  • Americans drink about 1/3 as much water per day as is needed for good health. The best way to prevent‚ treat‚ and in many cases cure illness is to give our body the right tools and let it go to work. With the proper intake of healthy water‚ the right minerals and nutrients‚ our body can overcome almost anything.

  • "Estimates of the impact of diet on human cancers suggest that from 35% to as high as 80% of cancers are related to diet" (Weisburger, 2000).

  • A simple life change is all that is needed for great health. The program.

Our research led us down many paths and thousands upon hours pursuing the cure to cancer and disease. Along the way we became aware that the body is the cure itself when once fed proper nutrition and pure water.

We were curious at how very few horses, dogs and other animals get cancer or major disease. Humans that eat animals do. We found the perfect food. Medicago Sativa and it's derivative chorophyllin.

We researched for the perfect water purifying system. We found it. In the end we simplified life. No diet! No fasting! No extreme exercise. Just the simple program.

CANCER--A DISEASE OF CIVILIZATION

"The major cancers of our time are diet-caused, mainly by fat and cholesterol."
Dr Ernst Wynder, American Health Foundation, addressing the US Senate Select Committee on Nutrition and Human Needs

   Cancer is a state of cellular growth which occurs when some normal cells of a plant or an animal become abnormal and continue to grow abnormally. It is characterized by the ability of the abnormal cells to subdivide and grow outside of the constraints which automatically limit the subdivision and growth of normal cells. It is uncommon in nature. It does not occur in properly nourished and vigorously healthy humans.

   Cancer, in the many forms we know it, is a disease of civilization, and is practically unknown among primitive people properly nourished on a simple natural diet. Whether such people live in the Arctic or in Africa, and whether they eat fish and whale meat, or mashed corn and bananas, cancer as it afflicts our society, is unknown. The book Cancer--a Disease of Civilization by Vilhjalmur Stephansson, describes studies of Eskimos* in the late 1800s and early 1900's specifically looking for cancer among them, and how not one case could be found. The only Eskimos to ever develop cancer were those who came to live in white man's settlements and who adopted white man's dietary and other living habits. Similar observations have been made by doctors in other primitive natural areas of the world.

*The name Eskimo is derived from a Cree Indian expression meaning "he eats meat raw". Although the primitive Eskimo diet comprised mainly animal protein and fat, most of it was consumed raw, thus providing enzymes favorable for the more efficient metabolism of these substances, as previously described, The Eskimo had no refined foods at all, and did not use salt. In addition, the large amounts of ecosapentaenoic acid (EPA) contained in the diet ensured a non-sticky, free-flowing bloodstream. At the same time, the Eskimos' life was simple and stress-free and they got plenty of outdoor exercise.

   In his book The Cradle of the World and Cancer--A Disease of Civilization (1927), Dr E.H. Tipper said: "Cancer has been suspected of being a disease of civilization. judging from my experience in general practice in London, twenty years in West Africa, and again in rural England, I am convinced that this is true. It is due to the conventionalism and bad feeding of civilization, and is an exact index of the degree to which the alimentary tract has deviated from its natural and normal state of health". And referring to the practice of natives eating only natural foods he said: "There is no such thing as constipation--there is no cancer. At the first dawn of civilization amongst them this disease makes its appearance; where civilization is advanced it is rife".

   Dr Roger Williams in 1898, writing in Lancet, blamed environmental factors of the alarming increase in cancer during the preceding 50 years, and noted the death rate in England had increased from 17 per 10,000 per year to 88. Dr Williams attributed the increase to the fact that meat consumption had doubled, and he advocated eating more vegetables and getting more fresh air and exercise. However, since then the very opposite to Dr Williams' advice has been adopted, and accordingly, cancer as a cause of death is now second only to cardiovascular disease, and continues to increase.

   The most common form of cancer in affluent Western countries is cancer of the bowel which includes cancer of the colon and rectum. The third National Cancer Survey by the US National Cancer Institute showed that this form of cancer now causes more deaths than any other. Previously, breast cancer caused more deaths among women, and lung cancer among men. The incidence of cancer is much lower among vegetarians, particularly those who consume no dairy products.

   Cancer growths are called tumors or neoplasms and may occur in many different forms and in different parts of the body. Arising from cells in originally normal tissue, the initial growth is called a primary tumor. Primary tumors usually occur in tissues which in their day-to-day function have a constant wearing out and renewal of cells--tissues such as the skin and the lining of the digestive tract, the respiratory tract and the female genital canal. Primary tumors also occur at locations in which there is cell renewal due to irritation or injury. Primary cancer rarely occurs in muscle or nerve tissue in which tissue the cells do not normally subdivide and renew, but these tissues are capable of supporting the growth of secondary tumors originating from stray cancer cells from a primary cancer elsewhere.

   Although they vary greatly in appearance and function, all cells of the body are basically the same, having developed from the same primitive cells of the early developing fetus after conception. Having developed into different specialized cells of the various body tissues, they are said to be differentiated. To become cancer cells, normal cells change in degrees to a primitive form capable of the unrestrained reproduction characteristic of primitive undifferentiated cells. The degree to which cells become de-differentiated determines the degree of malignancy of the cancer. If a tumor is composed of cells which are only slightly abnormal and grow slowly with near-normal cell division without spreading, it is considered benign, presenting no immediate threat to life.

   Tumors consist both of cancer cells and cells which are apparently normal, the latter sometimes making up 90% of the total, as if the body was attempting to contain the cancer cells by surrounding them with normal cells. Malignant cells frequently detach from the primary tumor and circulate in the lymph and bloodstream. Usually they are apprehended in the lymph nodes adjacent to the primary tumor and destroyed by the white cells. However, in cancer patients the immune system is defective in varying degrees, and the migrating cancer cells may not only survive in the lymph nodes, but proceed further to colonize elsewhere in the body as a secondary tumor. This process is called metastasis.

   Few people die from the primary tumor, but once the cancer has metastasized the condition is usually regarded in orthodox circles as "terminal".

   When cancer grows or metastasizes, it does not "infect" adjacent cells but grows as an entity, still reproducing abnormal cells the same as itself. For instance, if breast cancer metastasizes to the lung, the secondary tumor in the lung will be composed of cancerous breast cells.

   Whereas in the past, malignancy has been considered as a virtual death sentence, this is no longer the case. Many people have recovered naturally from "terminal" cancer and there now is sufficient knowledge of cancer to help others do the same. (See Spontaneous Remission of Cancer.) With this knowledge the complete avoidance of cancer is simple and easy.

   Some body organs such as the liver and the adrenal gland, having been substantially damaged, can regenerate to almost full capacity. Nerve cells and muscle cells, when destroyed, do not regenerate, but nor do they commonly become cancerous.

   A medical definition of cancer which may assist the reader's understanding and acceptance of the detailed explanation which then follows is given by Professor Otto Neunhoeffer of Hamburg, Germany:

   "The malignant disease is a syndrome characterizing results arising from abnormal biochemical reactions, which if not interrupted or reversed, result in a tumor, which then in itself becomes a very active source for abnormal primary reactions, thus accelerating the entire process.

   "It is an accepted fact that a malignant tumor develops only after an average eight-year period of pre-cancer. To understand this preliminary period when the condition actually existed, even though undetected, it is necessary to distinguish between biochemically malignant disease, and a malignant tumor."

   Whereas cancer patients usually die of cachexia, which is the wasting away of the body as its vital processes progressively fail, and whereas it is clear that the growth of diseased cells is only part of this degenerative process, it is obvious that the prevention and reversal of the disease depend not upon destruction of cancer cells with vicious medical procedures, but in correcting the underlying defects in body chemistry which initiated the whole process in the first place.

“Alfalfa contains an enormous quantity of nutrients, in a form that is easily digested and assimilated by man.  It is up to 50% protein, contains a good quantity of beta-carotene, chlorophyll and octacosanol.  Herbalists have used alfalfa for many different purposes.  Most of these applications bear one-to-one correspondence to the various nutrients in the plant.  The one word that keeps appearing is “tonic”.  The plant is a kidney tonic, prostatic tonic, reproductive tonic, musculoskeletal tonic, glandular tonic and so forth.  Alfalfa has traditionally been one of the best herbal treatments of arthritis, gout and rheumatism. 

 Alfalfa has a proven cholesterol lowering effect.  Steroidal anti-inflammatory action is suggested by its content of plant steroids, and by some research that found an estrogenic effect on ruminants (grazing animals).  Alfalfa has also been shown to possess antibacterial action against gram negative bacteria (such as Salmonella typhi), and it contains at least one protein with known antitumor activity.”

High in chlorophyll and nutrients.  Alkalizes the body and detoxifies the body, especially the liver.  Good for all colon disorders, anemia, hemorrhaging, diabetes, ulcers and arthritis.  Promotes pituitary gland function.  Contains antifungus agent.”


Dr. Donna Schwontkowski

Alfalfa has been used for centuries by people world-wide for overall support and rejuvenation.  Because of its deep root system, alfalfa is a rich source of the minerals calcium, magnesium, phosphorous, iron, potassium and trace minerals.  Specifically, it is one of the best sources of protein and is very high in chlorophyll, carotene, the Vitamins A, D, E, B-6 and K, and several digestive enzymes.  This may be why it is said to help reconstitute bone and when fresh, is beneficial for rickets.  Alfalfa is one of the most studied plants.  Research suggests that it may inactivate dietary chemical carcinogens in the liver and small intestine before they have a chance to do the body any harm.  It is commonly used for bladder infections.  Used on the skin or in the bath, Alfalfa is good for fatigue and muscle tenderness.  It is also used to reduce pain and inflammation of rheumatism and arthritis.  Alfalfa is used as an appetite stimulant, vitality augmenter (tonic), a digestive stimulant, for insomnia, and to relax the nervous system.


The World Preservation Society

 “Because of a long root system which absorbs abundant minerals, alfalfa is very high in minerals and vitamins, particularly iron, calcium, magnesium, potassium, trace minerals and vitamin K.  it helps to remove toxins and to neutralize acids.. It is good for anemia, menopause, arthritis, gout, stabilizing blood sugar levels, balancing pituitary gland, and detoxifying the blood and kidneys.  Alfalfa helps soothe ulcers, the liver and acts as a heart tonic.  It helps with estrogen production and morning sickness.  It has a natural fluoride and is a mild diuretic.  Alfalfa may be used for reducing fevers and rheumatism and has a mild laxative effect.  It is good for cystitis or an inflamed bladder and relief from bloating and water retention.”


The deep rooting system of alfalfa allows the plant to glean nutrients from deep under the top soil. This nutritional feeding system provides the plant with many nutrients. Alfalfa contains protein, fat beta carotene, vitamin E, vitamins B1, B2, C, D and K, isoflavonoid phytoalexins, isoflavone phytoestrogens, and the alkaloids asparagine and trigonelline. The plant is a rich source of chlorophyll and serves as the largest commercial source of chlorophyll.

Several studies have indicated that the ingestion of alfalfa reduces cholesterol absorption and atherosclerotic plaque formation in animals. Alfalfa plant saponins and fiber have been shown to bind significant quantities of cholesterol in vitro. In one study, cholesterol-fed rats actually had a decrease in liver cholesterol accumulation when concomitantly fed alfalfa. By providing a mild antithrombotic effect from its coumarin derivatives, alfalfa further aids the circulatory system.

Alfalfa's blood-purifying properties have been attributed to its high chlorophyll content. In fact, it is probably due not only to chlorophyll but also several other components. It appears that alfalfa works on inflammation (arthritis, rheumatism) and as a general tonic by removing toxins from the blood. High molecular weight alcohol (triacontanol, octacosanol) reduce cholesterol and serum lipids while the flavonoids relax the smooth muscles. The alkaloids help reduce blood sugar levels and the saponins support the digestive system by helping to balance the intestinal flora.

The high amount of beta carotene in alfalfa acts to strengthen epithelial cells of the mucous membranes of the stomach, and could be the source for its beneficial effect on ulcers. Extracts of alfalfa have also been shown to produce activity against Gram-positive bacteria.
