| DR.
MARY RUTH SWOPE SPEAKS: |
The
greatest lessons I have learned after 68 years of study, research
and teaching in the field of Foods and Nutrition, mostly at
the university level, are these:
- Life can
only come from life. “Dead food” makes
dead people.
- Life begins,
is maintained and ends at the cellular level. Doctor’s
agree!
- Plant
foods grown organically, served fresh, raw and unprocessed
are our best sources of life. They also are our best “medicines”.
(The Father of Medicine, Hippocrates, said this in 450 BC – before
the birth of Jesus.)
- Man-made
foods are “dead foods”; they cause
disease and early death.
- International research studies have proven that the Jewish
dietary laws, when followed, produce the healthiest people
on earth. (Read Genesis 1:29)
- Herbs
made from stems, roots, bark, leaves, fruit and blossoms
of natural plants outperform synthetic drugs to restore sick
cells in almost all cases – and without dangerous,
expensive side-effects.
- The Bible
declares barley leaves to be God’s champion
food creation – the most perfect and complete of all
foods. Leviticus 23:9-11 (offerings had to be perfect!)
- I believe
almonds are God’s second most perfect food
creation. They are a near-perfect food. Like barley, they are
a first fruit.
- I do not believe in the germ theory of disease. Disease results
when the immune system is weak. Poor eating and lifestyle habits
cause a weakened immune system. We are then subjected to all
kinds of disease because of a lack of fighter cells.
- The “Real Doctor” is
in every cell. He has a recipe for changing any sick cell
into a healthy one. Man-made drugs are needed only for crisis
situations; Nutrients heal.
- We were made to have Divine health with an expected life-span
of 120 years. (Genesis 6:3)
- Following
are the basic rules of a healthy diet. I am gambling that
God is the most brilliant Scientist ever – and I
hope you, too, will follow His advice for your physical health.
Here is the record of His advice:
A. Plan
A of the Original Diet for Adam and Eve (Genesis
1:29). All of Nature’s foods are balanced sources of
protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals
(the natural medicines). Eat a wide variety in every category
for the best health.
- Eleven cereal grains (barley, wheat, rye, spelt, millet,
oats, etc.)
- Sixty-four vegetables.
- Beans, legumes, lentils, seeds and nuts.
- Forty-six fruits.
- Goats’ milk,
eggs, cheese and butter were allowed.
- God
allowed “a little” honey.
Then God cursed the soil and people began to lose their vibrant
health.
B. Plan B of the Original Diet.
In Genesis 3:18 God added the green herbs of the field to their
diet. (Things like garlic, capsicum, black cohost, bee pollen,
parsley, black walnut, catnip etc.).
C. Plan C of the Original Biblical Diet
In Genesis 9:3 God added meat to the approved diet with carefully
designed rules to distinguish clean from unclean meats. See Leviticus
11 and Deuteronomy 14 for guidance. Modern-day researchers confirm
this information.
These are the basic rules of a healthy diet. I am gambling that
God is the most brilliant Scientist ever – and I hope you,
too, will follow His advice for your physical health.
A very important
last point is this: the quickest, easiest most accurate way
to evaluate the status of your own health (before doctors get
involved) is to test the pH of your saliva and urine. “How
to” can be found in “IMPORTANT
FACTS ABOUT pH”.

| MY CONCLUSION ABOUT BARLEYLIFE® |
| After 15 years of study and extensive experience with AIM
BarleyLife® , I have a few well-founded
conclusions to share. I hope you will read on and see if my opinions make sense.
As one of the top distributors in AIM (the international company that distributes AIM BarleyLife®), I have been closely involved
with multiple thousands of customers that are regular users of AIM BarleyLife®. My book, The Green Leaves of Barley, has forty pages
of excerpts from letters telling of the changes in people's health since taking this product.
What are some of the most commonly expressed benefits? High blood pressure reduced to normal, arthritis pain and stiffness a thing
of the past, more energy, much, much more energy and also more endurance. No more bleeding gums and loose teeth. No flu or colds despite
constant exposure. Normalized cholesterol, cardio-vascular improvement, diabetes requiring much less insulin (or none at all). Allergies
and asthma, conditions of the past, - and on and on.
Let me tell it this way. If our cells could speak in the Greek language, I think they would say that AIM BarleyLife® is
Zoe to us. Zoe means life. Zoe's deepest meaning is that we have the highest quality, most abundant life. It further means that we are
saved, delivered, protected, healed, preserved, made whole, kept safe, and rescued from destruction. That's a more excellent way - a
way that involves the help of the one who created us, and the food supply that was perfect for our Zoe health.
The Greek word for "saved" is Sozo. Sozo means to save, deliver, protect, heal, preserve, do well, make whole, keep safe, to rescue
from destruction. If our cells could speak, they would tell us they think Zoe and Sozo are perfect words to describe how they feel after
receiving AIM BarleyLife®.

GREEN VEGETABLES
Nature's Healing Gifts |
| Green vegetables have become the focus for natural health
and healing. Living constituents of plants, and most importantly the chlorophyll, are receiving much attention today. They have become
health giants and are recognized universally as necessities, not accessories. These jewels of nature are consumed by all of the species
of animals, birds and fish in one form or another. Whether leaf or seed or sea plants each has a purpose to nourish, cleanse and detoxify
its environment both before and after consumption. Fortunately, the varieties designed for humans are varied in their flavor and texture
so that just about anyone can find one or more to enjoy.
The National Research Council has always recommended what any nutrition text book will tell you, YOU NEED ONE SERVING DAILY OF A DARK
GREEN LEAFY OR DEEP YELLOW VEGETABLE. So let me ask you, how many servings of kale, collards, turnip greens, mustard greens, spinach,
beet tops, carrots, pumpkin, squash or sweet potatoes have YOU had this week? You needed seven!
It's a problem! We don't like deep green leafy and yellow vegetables. We don’t eat them and increasingly we can't even find them where
we're doing most of our eating. Consequently, we are no longer getting enough deep yellow and dark green foods ( and especially not enough
raw greens) to stay healthy.
Why do we need a serving of deep green leafy vegetables every day ? Because of their unique nutritional contribution to the body's
requirements for health.
Green vegetables are excellent sources of complex carbohydrates (the best kind), dietary fiber (so good for colon health), beta-carotene,
chlorophyll and anti-oxidant activity. They are usually low in fat and high in minerals and vitamins. They also contain phytochemicals
that lower our risk of cancer.
One special virtue of these veggies is their green color - chlorophyll. Chlorophyll in plants can be compared to the blood supply in
humans. " Life is in the blood" and the life of plants is in the chlorophyll.
A recent discovery adds more importance to our daily need for green vegetables. When man (or animals) eat green plants, the blood molecules
of the plant can become the blood molecules of man by a process biochemists call porphyrin biosynthesis. This then is the clincher. God
in His infinite wisdom provided perfectly for the self-repairing, self-rejuvenating, self- energizing of the physical man through chlorophyll
- the blood of the plants.
So think of this, without plants there would be no animal life on earth, including us! Chlorophyll, the kind found only in green vegetables,
is absolutely essential to life. And we need one-half of a cup daily to meet our need for health.
One last thought. There is no substitute in nature for turnip greens, collard greens, mustard greens, beet tops, dandelions, broccoli,
kale, deep green lettuce leaves, parsley and other greens. They are the chemo-protectors, the chemo-preventers, chemo-attackers, chemo-reversers,
yes, chemo-healers.
If you fail to eat green foods, you are failing to protect, reverse sickness or heal your body's cells. Is that what you want? Only
you can decide.
