The food produced from conventional
agriculture is harmful to human health
because they contain residues of
chemicals and in-organic fertilizers.
According to the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA)
90%-95% of all pesticides residues are
found in meat and dairy products.

• These crops, produced under
modern agriculture techniques using
large doses of pesticides,
herbicides, and fertilizers are being
blamed for intelligence problems
because they do not contain
essential brain nutrients such as
iodine, iron and vitamin A.
Modern agriculture or
Chemical farming has
damaged our
environment by
contaminating our

Bees Were Wiped Out This
Year – Who Will Pollinate
Our Crops?
Honeybees have become
widespread across North
America and are bred
commercially for their abilities
to produce honey and pollinate
crops—90 different farm-
grown foods, including many
fruits and nuts, depend on
honeybees.

Harmful Effect of Growth Hormones,
Growth Promotants and Anti biotics
to Human Health
• Livestock like chicken, pigs and cattle,
grown in chemical-industrial animal
farming systems are also sources of
chemicals harmful to health.
39
• The animals grown like
sardines in unhealthy
animal farms are fed and
injected with synthetic
chemicals to force them
to grow fast and survive
the pathogenic micro
organisms that abounds.

• Hormone residues in beef have been
implicated in the early onset of puberty in
girls, which could put them at greater risk of
developing breast and other forms of cancer.
Hormone residues in the meat of "growth
enhanced" animals and can disrupt human
hormone balance.
• recombinant bovine growth hormone (rBGH) is
said to be responsible for a number of
health issues ranging from premature
puberty in children, causing developmental
problems, and even leading to the
development of breast, prostate or colon
cancer due to the increased antibiotic.

In a worldwide study, it has found that the
Eskimos, Greenlanders and the Russian Kurgi
tribes had the highest intake of flesh foods.
• These groups had a lowest life expectancies -
in some cases averaging as low as 30 years.
• In comparison, population such as
the Pakistan Hunzas, East Indian

Yucatan Indians live under harsh
conditions and eat little or no

• These populations have the highest
life expectancies, as high as 90 to
100 years.
• The Hunzas eat almost no animal
products, living a vigorous life into
their 80's and beyond retirement
to unknown, and many pass their
one 100th birthday.
• According to Dr. Lorraine

Harmful Effects of Genetically
Modified Organism (GMO) to Human
Health and Environment
• Currently about 75% of all processed food in the USA has
GMO ingredients. The USA is currently the only country
that does NOT require labels for GMO foods. GMOs cause
cancer, sterility, farmer suicides, and many other
diseases.
• The European Union, Japan, China, Korea, Australia, New
Zealand and many other nations now require mandatory
GMO labeling.
• 10% of the worlds’ crops were GMO in 2010
• 29 countries worldwide grew GMO crops in 2011
• Over 50% of the GMO crops were grown in developing
countries in 2011
• In 2011 United States, Brazil, Argentina, India, Canada,
China, Paraguay, Pakistan, South Africa, Uruguay, Bolivia,
Australia, Philippines, Myanmar, Burkino Faso, Mexico
and Spain all grew GMO crops.

integrated practitioner and
organic farmer)

leukemia risk in men and
women (pooled analysis)
- 102 percent higher
multiple myeloma risk (in

Facts About Refined Sugars
• Animals reared on
organic farms are
treated properly
with room to behave
like animals and are
fed healthy food
sources not laden
with drugs and other
chemicals.
• Organic agriculture is healthy for
the farmers who produces our foods
to the environment because it
avoids poisonous chemicals for
consumers, who eat the organic 162
Health Benefits of
Organic Farming
Better Health
• Since organic food is not prepared using
chemical fertilizers and pesticides, it
does not contain any traces of these
strong chemicals that might not affect
the human body.
Better Taste
• People strongly believe that organic food
tastes better than non organic food. The
prominent reason for this belief is that it is
produced using organic means of production.
Further organic food is often sold locally
resulting in availability of fresh produce in
the market.
Environment Safety
• As harmful chemicals are not used in organic
farming, there is minimal soil, air and water
pollution; thus ensuring a safe world for
future generations to live in.
Animal Welfare
• Animal welfare is an important aspect of
producing organic milk, organic meat, organic
poultry, and organic fish.
• People feel happy that the animals are not
confined to a miserable caged life while
eating organic animal products.
Animal Welfare
• Animal welfare is an important aspect of
producing organic milk, organic meat, organic
poultry, and organic fish.
• People feel happy that the animals are not
confined to a miserable caged life while
eating organic animal products.
Higher nutrient content and concentration
• Organically grown fruits and vegetables contain higher
nutritional content than commercially farmed produce.
Different studies have shown organic produce to have
nutritional concentrations ranging from 30% more to 3
times as much as their commercially grown counterparts.
• Organic plant-based foods (fruits, vegetables,
grains) contain higher levels of eight of 11
nutrients studied, including significantly greater
concentrations of health-promoting polyphenols and
antioxidants.
• Organic food contains phenolic compounds, which
protects our heart from cardiovascular diseases
and reduces the risk of cancer.
• Because of this, the food produced are now
called “Power Charged” foods.
• Organic foods contain more phytochemicals
that are called “Medicinal Foods.”

Father of Medicine, 431 B.C.

HEALING NUTRIENTS
FROM FOODS
What are Antioxidants?
• Antioxidants are substances that help with
protecting the body against free radicals.
They are compounds that help delay or slow
the oxidative damage to cells and tissue of
the body.
• Free radicals are created when the body
breaks down food and are damaging to body
cells.
Organic “An Organic Apple Each day,
Apples Drives the Doctors Away”
• A Superfood that protects the body
from nuclear fallout, kills a wide
range of cancers, and keeps the
arteries unclogged. Studies shows
that apples reduce cancer risk such
as:
• Liver Cancer: Apple juice, apple
pectin and apple peel has been
experimentally confirmed to kill liver
cancer,[iv]
• Breast Cancer: Apples have been
found to both prevent and to
suppress mammary cancers in the
animal model.[v]
Organic • Multi-Drug Resistant Cancer:
Apples carotenoids extracted from apple
have been studied for its ability to
directly induce programmed cell
death within stomach cancer cells.[ix]
• Esophageal Cancer: An apple-derived
procyanidin has been found to
suppress esophageal cancer. [vii]
• Stomach Cancer: One of the ways in
which apple constituents prevent
stomach cancer is through their
inhibition of Helicobacter pylori, one
of the main infectious agents linked
to both ulcer and gastric cancer.[viii]
Guava (Bayabas)

Guava (Bayabas)
• The medicinal uses of guava is
extensively documented. Studies have
shown that the extracts from the
seeds, peel, and pulp of the guava have
anti-cancer effects as these parts

leaves are said to have higher amounts
of phenolic compounds.
Guava (Bayabas)
• These compounds can protect the body
from cancers and heart diseases. Diabetes
is another illness that can be treated with
the aqueous extracts of guava.

fibers in guavas were said to be the reason
behind the reduced blood pressure,
reduced cholesterol levels, and increase in
HDL
