MANKIND'S ORIGINAL DIET WHEN IT LIVED IN IT'S NATURAL HABITAT

Compiled and revised from excerpts from various writings of Prof. Hilton Hotema with extensive additional scientific input from Ben Adamah

Without transport, Mankind on making it's appearance on earth must have eaten of the food from his immediate surroundings, as and when nature presented it. Only sun-ripened fruit can completely satisfy all mankind's nutritional requirements with no deficiencies or excesses and hence no aging or diseases. *1.

Unless it is pleasant to smell, sight, touch and taste as produced by nature then it is not appropriate to eat and is defiling the constitution of the body. (refer section on Instincts when uploaded for an in-depth understanding of how one is perfectly endowed to select one's nutritional requirements without any knowledge of nutrition)

We had no implements (no agriculture) nor would we have had the least need for any, for mankind did not come into existence until all its needs were completely provided for, as those of the beasts of the field and the fowls of the air. It was not intended that mankind, in supplying its needs, should perform any more labour than is performed by any animal below it in its native state. All other creatures have economic freedom as did mankind before it began to develop nutritional habits contrary to the long-term health of it's constitution. In the tropics, where mankind first made its appearance we would have had the least need for clothing and elaborate dwellings. A dwelling would only have been needed for indoor activities and as sleeping quarters, especially during the rainy season. We would have had no need of kitchens and appliances, nor dining rooms. Time would have been of no consequence, one would have had the economic freedom, and the leisure, to do whatever one wished. Just think how simple and fulfilling life could be in a world without all the paraphernalia (enslavement, possessed by possessions including unfulfilled desires) one accumulates in modern society.

In the warmth of the tropics, nature to this day spontaneously produces the most luscious fruits to be found anywhere on earth. Without implements and without labour, except in gathering the fruit, early mankind took these substances from the generous hand of its earthly Mother (nature), and ate of them just as cooked and prepared for us by our wonderful provider the sun.

No scientist had yet appeared to immunise our body against disease. Mankind needed no expert advice, knew nothing of calories, vitamins and mineral salts and less about proteins and carbohydrates, but with our natural inborn instinctive wisdom (utilising the four selection instincts; viz pleasant to smell, sight, touch and taste), built a vigorous frame composed of material so lasting, that we saw the sun rise and set for almost a thousand years, ere we sank back into the bosom of the watchful one, who has always been faithful and true to her children.

Mankind was a purely frugivorous (and still is) animal then, but many millennium have elapsed since then and a great change has occurred in our relationship to the natural environment. Mankind has strayed from the happy home of our earthly Mother (Laws of Nature). We have cast her infallible teachings to the four winds, have levelled her beautiful forests with the axe, torn her bosom with shovel and plough, developed grass seeds into grains (the staff of death for mankind — the food for the fowls of the air), roots into tubers and animals into beasts of burden and victims of slaughter. These things, all the products of health-destroying and life-shortening labour, which nature never designed now appear on our table in place of the delicious fruits we once ate so freely and, with these things, we endeavour to sustain our body, which is telling us in every way it can, that we are failing in our task and violating the law of our constitution. But we have lived apart from the natural laws of our earthly mother (nature) so many ages, that we no longer understands her laws as we once did, and we continue to wander further from home while mother is constantly beckoning us back.

A few individuals around the world have woken instinctively in some case, and in others with a more inquiring nous, begun to come aware, but however not with the integrated understanding, which it now behoves us to re-acquire, of the natural relationship mankind once had with mother nature.

Despite the many years that have passed since mankind forsook fruit as its food, no change has occurred in our digestive apparatus.*3

Sun-ripened fruit *2 as it comes from the tree and the vine, is still the most nutritious, delicious and palatable of all food. It is the most agreeable food for child and adult, for the puny and the sturdy, the healthy and the sickly. Fruit is the oldest food known to mankind and the first mentioned in all ancient records.

For numerous reasons, it is very evident that fruit, in its natural state, was not only the first, but the principal substance used for food by mankind for the majority of its existence on planet earth, and we are told by some of the greatest authorities that they find no scientific reason why mankind should not have lived for centuries, and nothing has been found to indicate that any of them ever suffered from disease. Was this simple, natural diet the cause of such sound health and long life? We know that, in this age of disordered bodies and short lives, little or no fruit is eaten by many people, fruit being regarded by them as a luxury, more to be admired than to be eaten. Is this the practice that has produced the multitude of maladies from which mankind now suffers, and condemns the race to early death?

Not only our health, but the length of our days, depends upon suitable nourishment. Such nourishment is found only in those unsophisticated substances that supply the system with all the elements it must have, and without which it suffers and decays. Fruits are the greatest natural source of these vital elements.

Fruits should be eaten freely and frequently, just as it comes from the tree, bush or vine in a sun-ripened state. All unfired fruits are rich in organic mineral salts which have a natural, stimulating affect on all the vital organs. In the process of cooking, these organic minerals undergo certain destructive changes which inhibit their utilisation by our body. In many instances they return to a crystalline form, and by cooking they are not only of far less value but in many instances rendering carcinogenic substances to the body.

Cooked food is dead food as the vital force has been driven out

A diet of ripe unfired fruit only, tones up the whole system and enables it to free itself of deadly poisons with which it is filled by bad living habits, but the practice of eating a full meal of other food, then "topping off" with fruit, is decidedly detrimental.*5 Let the meal consist of fruit only. Preferably eat only one type of fruit at a sitting. In so doing not upsetting the digestive system of the body.

Nature produces various fruits that ripen at different times, according to the climatic conditions of the environment. Preferably only eat of those in the area in which you reside, and you will find, if eaten regularly as the only source of food, is the only diet in which the body is so completely supplied with solids and liquids in such correct proportion to its needs, that there is no demand for water to drink, because the body does not thirst, and no water can so perfectly fill the body’s need for liquids as the pure, distilled water of fruits. Nor does anything destroy the health quicker than the drinking of bad water, except breathing foul polluted air.

Fruits consist largely of thirst-quenching water, distilled by a marvellous process unknown to man. Blood is approximately 80 per cent water, consequently, if mankind lived on sun-ripened, naturally grown fruits and berries, it would need nothing to drink, and as we well know, we can only drink with difficulty, unless we use a contrivance invented by mankind to convey water to our mouth. There is much doubt as to mankind being a drinking animal.

The glucose and fructose found in fruits, of which there is considerable quantity, and the acids and juices, are fully prepared for the body by the ripening process in the sunshine, requiring only absorption to make them available for use. Due to this fact fruit may be eaten at any time, but should never be combined with any other type of food, without taxing the digestive organs.

How decidedly different in this respect is fruit from the common diet of modern mankind, which tries and wearies the digestive machinery by a long, laborious process, and in the end, renders up but a small quantity of nourishment of an imperfect quality, leaving a residue of life destroying wastes.

THE FIRST KNOWN FORM OF AGRICULTURE ON EARTH WAS THE PLANTING OF FRUIT SEEDS.

Trees are the guardians of the earth, and therefore of life on mother earth and are the principles developers of the natural environment. Mankind only made its appearance on earth after the trees had prepared the context necessary for it to do so.

Let the seeds of the trees be thy food and renew the earth and the atmosphere, with the only means possible, by replanting mother earth with trees.

Where ever possible every man, woman and child should be planting fruit and nut trees. There is no more fulfilling and rewarding pastime, than the planting of fruit trees, and think of the pleasure one would derive from watching them grow and the enjoyment of eating their fruits.

OVERVIEW OF SOME OF THE SECTIONS TO BE INCLUDED IN THIS WORK AS TIME PERMITS

(refer to the relevant sections (in black below) in the menu on the home page for in-depth detail on the following brief explanations)

*1a AGING AND DISEASE Aging is a disease from accumulation of wastes from an unhealthy diet, as is all physical diseases of the body, including degeneration of the functioning of the brain. Both of which is one's just reward for partaking of an unnatural, unhealthy diet and has nothing to do with time. Only you can save yourself from the effects of an unnatural diet and unhealthy living habits. Aging is the process of the accumulation of wastes which has not been eliminated from the body. Obviously then to reverse the aging process or eradicate any disease is to cleanse the body of the accumulated wastes. (will be added to site when edited)

*1b The AGELESS STATE OF BEING sometimes referred to as, THE FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH is attainable by ANYONE who is committed, prepared to subject oneself to a purification process and then making the necessary changes to all aspects of their LIFESTYLE including living in an unpolluted environment. (will be added to site when edited)

*2. Sun-ripened fruit includes all edible tree and vine crops, which includes all nuts, berries and melons grown in your climatic zone that are pleasant to all four basic selection instincts. Eaten when harvested will fully satisfy all the needs of the body and bringing correspondence between the prevailing environmental temperature and moisture and the body's requirements.

*3. Don't miss reading excerpts from “Man the Unknown” by Dr. Alexis Carrel when uploaded. Better still if possible get a copy and study it well. The book list page on this sight will give details on where to source it and other reference material. (will be added to site when edited)

*4. Cooked food, especially micro-waved food is no longer in a usable ionised state by the body. If one can't eat any type of RAW food and enjoy it as is, then it is definitely not fit to eat if one has any real interest in one's well-being.

*5. Not only do you not derive any nutritional value from eating fruit after a meal of other foods but it is upsetting the digestive process by introducing a food with a high alkaline ash in the gastrointestinal tract with foods that have with an acidic ash content. Nature never does it, nor would any chemist ever do it.

*6. WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION

Since the end of the last Ice Age, which ended approximately 10,000 years ago give or take a couple hundreds years, mankind has propagated weapons of mass destruction, to the detriment of it's well being and the sustainability of the planet. The agricultural production of three of them in particular have done more damage to the habitability of the earth than if it detonated most of the worlds arsenal of nuclear weapons.
