NEWS The Fountain of Youth World Summit with Dr. Gabriel Cousens, the founder of the Tree of Life Rejuvenation Center and author of “Conscious Eating” and “spiritual Nutrition. ”
KEVIN NEWS: I am extremely excited about it. So why not start talking about detoxification? What’s your story? How were you involved there?
GABRIEL NEWS: Well, first I explore a spiritual perspective. In 1982, the mine was one of 40 days of fasting.
KEVIN NEWS: A-ha.
GABRIEL NEWS: is the file. . . probably the best way to start – it was a great way for me to start but I really do not recommend for most people.
KEVIN NEWS: [Laughs]
GABRIEL NEWS: In 1988 I really started doing retreats for fasting people.
KEVIN NEWS: A-ha.
GABRIEL NEWS: and a lot of different searches. We have, in fact right now we are in the midst of a spiritual yoga juice fast.
KEVIN NEWS: OK.
GABRIEL NEWS: So it’s really fun to share together. In the tree we do, we actually changed 2 different fasts. It is where people come every once a week, and what we had just called a detox fast.
KEVIN NEWS: OK.
GABRIEL NEWS: Then we had a spiritual fast, which is like a week at a seminar. It’s really a 9-day fast. So, that’s kind of what we do. This is one of the main things we focus. We have developed a lot of research in technology along the way with it. I think the most important thing to understand is that fasting is the most natural and most potent means of detoxification. Paracelsus, the great physician of the Renaissance in the 16th century and so on, discussed the most powerful healer is fasting.
KEVIN NEWS: A-ha.
GABRIEL NEWS: and Hippocrates, one of the great Greek physician, also said that fasting is the medical procedure. So why not work fast? Because it activates a vital force, and is the life force that stimulates the body that gives him enough energy for detoxification.
KEVIN NEWS: OK.
GABRIEL NEWS: So, the model we can take is that the cells are filled with toxins, but they are also overloaded.
KEVIN NEWS: OK.
GABRIEL NEWS: And they are not as able to get the toxins. So when we fast, we stimulate a process of activating cells, and also, I’ll use it to call it a diffusion process. What we mean, as you’re pulling toxins through the law of fasting by doing what we do, eliminating in many areas, we do brushing of the skin which we’ll talk. . . we enemas and colonics.
KEVIN NEWS: A-ha.
GABRIEL NEWS: We do not clean the kidneys and liver. We breathe to clear the toxins out of the lung. We help people to gas, so that they – here in Arizona, you can be outside naked in certain areas, so you are getting a full body cleansing in the air. So all these things begin to reduce the toxins naturally. And in this way, it starts with. . . cells. But the key is truly vital force, which is strongly activated by the power of fasting.
KEVIN NEWS: OK. And you spoke about detoxification, I mean, what are some things that we need to detoxify from?
GABRIEL NEWS: Life!
KEVIN: [laughs]
GABRIEL NEWS: Really We have physical toxins, emotional, mental, spiritual and toxins.
KEVIN NEWS: OK.
GABRIEL NEWS: And when people come here to Patagonia, Arizona, they received a very, very clean air and the clean water. People are then able to rest and relax because in most people in the modern world have lost touch with their pace.
KEVIN NEWS: OK.
NEWS GABRIEL: touch What life is about, they have lost the sense of what life is like, and substance of their mission, their sacred mission in life. And if the fast is a time to restore and put us in contact with your sacred rhythm, your sacred design, and also get in touch with the rhythm of the planet. We live in the cities, the pace of the planet, you know?
KEVIN NEWS: Yeah.
GABRIEL NEWS: You can not see the sunset because the skyscraper is in the path, and it is as if kind of thing. So fast, in a deeper sense, helps you reconnect with your essential self. Now, that said, we will focus a bit more about the physical part of it and various fasts have different effects.
KEVIN NEWS: OK.
GABRIEL NEWS: At 7 days is fast that we do. Now we – just to be clear, there are people who come here and they fasted for 80 days.
KEVIN NEWS: Wow.
GABRIEL NEWS: 90 days, and had enormous benefits. We’ll talk later. I think a week is fast may be more appropriate for people and a good place to start. First, fasting is not something new. It is 5000 years old. Almost every culture has.
KEVIN NEWS: A-ha.
GABRIEL NEWS: and in the animal world, dogs can fast until 60 days. Salmon swim upstream for months without food. Penguins go 3 months without food. It’s part of it – the cycle of nature.
KEVIN NEWS: OK.
GABRIEL NEWS: But why a week, and why is it worked. What we found is that it takes about a week according to my research to get rid of toxins from the colon. Now, where do toxins from the gut? Well, they come to this – most people have pathogenic bacteria in the intestine.
KEVIN NEWS: OK.
GABRIEL NEWS: And because we eat too much, and we are not digesting well. To. . . pathogenic bacteria begin to eat the food rotting, and it turns into toxins.
KEVIN NEWS: OK.
GABRIEL NEWS: This is what we are talking about in particular.
KEVIN NEWS: And those are reabsorbed?
GABRIEL NEWS: And they get reabsorbed into the body. They come in the nervous system. They go around the body. In 1917, just to make it clear, this is not some sort of an idea found in 1917 and Sedderly Eldrich, two doctors at the AMA, okay?
KEVIN NEWS: -ha.
GABRIEL NEWS: Now, this is the way that the AMA people do now. But this time they were on it. They have cited 517 cases of compensation whereby the intestinal toxicity, people return to their depression, their anxiety, their paranoia, their lethargy, their amazement, their general feeling of malaise.
KEVIN NEWS: Wow!
GABRIEL NEWS: Really impressive! Okay, so they understood that the toxicity in your gut has been affecting your – how your mind. It has been affecting your mood. It was touching your clarity. OK, it’s true! The Russians had done research with schizophrenics. And they took the supposedly incurable schizophrenic and put on a water fast. We do not recommend the water really fast. There are a danger to her, but I do not even know if they have juicers, Russia, so I’ll just say it like that.
KEVIN NEWS: [laughs]
GABRIEL NEWS: and especially when the research has been done and what they found was 28-35 days in water that is a severe water fasting. That 65 percent of schizophrenics is now cured.
KEVIN NEWS: Wow!
GABRIEL NEWS: and the only time they relapse is that they ate meat. Now, what the reason is that schizophrenics have a certain pathway or some schizophrenics at least 65 percent.
KEVIN NEWS: A-ha.
GABRIEL NEWS: or when they eat meat, the bacteria of putrefaction produce 6 times higher 5-hydro skatole. Skatole is one of the toxins from the bowel. And it was literally that – have a nervous system schizophrenic.
KEVIN NEWS: OK.
GABRIEL NEWS: So that’s how powerful it can be. Now, in 1933, Dr. Bassler 5000 cited cases where people healed sinus, sciatica, nearly all the items that you may think you know that arthritis, new emotional problems, and related fields again clearing of intestinal toxicity. This is not a metaphor in other words. These are real – toxins are real things. You got skatole. I will not enumerate all of the ammonia.
KEVIN NEWS: And how do you know if you?
GABRIEL NEWS: Well, everyone has them.
KEVIN NEWS: OK. [laughs]. So it’s like there is coverage, everyone has that. It’s just a matter of
GABRIEL NEWS: Exactly. Now, when you are fasting, when we fast because we are fasting the whole world, we have a youth center in Israel.
KEVIN NEWS: A-ha.
GABRIEL NEWS: By the Dead Sea, so strong and they have to be viewed kindly.
KEVIN NEWS: A-ha.
GABRIEL NEWS: and have been quick here, or you – you know, often outside of our weekly 10 days detoxing. And basically if you do not like the food, and you’re not overeating. . . food while you are fasting frequently, you do not have a lot of toxins in the colon. You’ll get a little bit.
KEVIN NEWS: OK.
GABRIEL NEWS: Most people tend to accumulate overtime, especially if they do not have much acidophilus. So, it’s pretty endemic. And the good news is really in a short time within 1 week, we measured the indican which is a measure of intestinal toxicity.
KEVIN NEWS: OK.
GABRIEL NEWS: In 1 week, 6 days, most people, no excuse me, one hundred percent of the population we we tested showed no indican in urine.
KEVIN NEWS: OK.
GABRIEL NEWS: So we know roughly 6 per day on a juice fast, you do with your colon toxins. And it’s also about time the mental condition of the individual begins to emerge. And they are beginning to have an enormous amount of energy. There is a large amount of energy you get when you get the toxins. On a 60th birthday 4 years ago, we – day 5 or 6, I’m not 601 push-ups.
KEVIN NEWS: OK.
GABRIEL NEWS: and this is something I could not do while I eat. I was up to 550 something like that. I do not break the barrier.
KEVIN NEWS: A-ha.
GABRIEL NEWS: The reason is, there is this – even if someone who is – you know eating the right foods, 100 bills Food per cent, and you know that the manufacture of juice, and do all that on a regular basis, there is certain amount of toxins that you build. It’s something for everyone.
KEVIN NEWS: OK.
GABRIEL NEWS: and just that the difference in 5 days jus dissipated the toxins to give extra strength. Once after a fast of 7 days, we did the Mount Chester who was in the 90s. We walked a group of us walked on the mountain of Chester. Usually it is a journey of 2 days to go to 10,000 feet, and the 2nd day you go, and camping, then you go over 2000 feet.
KEVIN NEWS: A-ha.
GABRIEL NEWS: We started at 3 ‘o clock in the morning. We reached the peak of about 11.
KEVIN NEWS: Wow.
GABRIEL NEWS: and we just walked right too because we had that extra energy.
KEVIN NEWS: Wow. That sounds good. I think that is probably almost everyone in this appeal could use a little extra energy. [laughs].
