Kevin Gianni: When you talk about illness and you talk about people who have disease and who can heal themselves, it's more than just food, correct?

Brenda Cobb: It really is. I believe that it's much more than the food. I think that's one of the reasons that the program that I used now have developed over the nine years of have been doing this. It is become so effective to the healthy people because we look beyond the food. Now, we certainly do use a 100% organic, the raw food and the living food.

Now what we, the way we describe raw food and living food is raw food we believe fruits, vegetables and not seeds that have not been cooked. We believe a living food is a sprouted food, something that's growing when you eat it. Among bean and lentil sprout and sun flower, and buckwheat sprout. And so, that certainly is a part of the program. But we believe there has really four main reasons that people get sick. The number one reason we believed is because of how people think, we think it's more important to thinking than what we're eating and at the part of that number reason is emotional stuff because most, everybody and you can hardly avoid if you go through the human experience on the planet earth you're going to have emotional stuff sometimes that has got been buried so deep that you don't even really send there.

And so to work on the emotional and clear that out, there is sometimes issues with forgiveness for giving yourself or things or somebody else is maybe done you wrong you think and really letting go of those things. And then another part of that number reason is stress because the world we are living is stressful. It's never what happens to you it's always you're reaction to what happens to you and you can stress yourself out or you can learn how to deal with stress so that it becomes constructive rather than destructive. So that's the first area we help people with.

The number two area, we help people with it's toxicity because there's toxins that have build up over years of breathing the air, drinking water that is not pure, of eating processed foods with additive colors, chemicals, dyes, maybe foods that have been genetically modified, hybridized, taking prescription and over the counter medications, drinking alcohols, smoking cigarettes whatever it might be. Toxic relationship, toxic [inaudible 17:34], toxic job fills of toxicity in the body. So, we believe you have to get all the toxins that are already in there out so the body can do what it was created to do in that field itself.

The third reason we think people are getting sick is because there decisions and we are believing that deficiency is the vitamins, the minerals, and the enzymes. Now, we are doing our best to get these through the good nutrition, but also realize that the soil today is not what it was in great, great granddaddy's day and that there is not as much of the mineralization and so forth on the soil. So, there are some super foods and allergies and some products that we used that helped to boost that along with the good nutrition. But we do believe that you cannot take a product in place of good nutrition. You got to have good nutrition as your foundation and then if you want to do any supplementation, I like the supplement only with food sources, you know a raw food powder or an allergy and we also use herb and essential oils to help the body to cleanse and detox and nourish. We found that to be very effective.

And then the fourth thing that we found make people sick is the dirty toxic impacted colon. So, our program also focuses on cleansing the colon, getting out the impacted waste, mucoid plaque, worm, parasites. You know from years of eating, maybe foods made was flower and water that makes a glue or a paste and people get that gunk [ph] in that sticky stuff inside of their colon and it sticks in there and sometimes it can become really hard and there's a barrier than between the good nutrition even if you're eating good food. You've changed your ways and now you're eating raw in living food. If you got a lot of plaque built up in the colon, you can't really assimilate the nutrients as well. So, we like to simultaneously be putting in the good food while we also getting out the bad stuff and then when we do all of it together, we really feel that, that supporting the body, the mind, the spirit, the mental, the emotional, the physical, the spiritual, and that the body can bounce back from most anything.
