Wonderful Service

They gave great service. The item was on back-order but still arrived pretty quickly. They sent samples of other products. I didn't expect to receive these. It was a pleasant surprise. Item was as described. Not a scratch on the cover. Congratulations on their Divine Union. Kat

SURVIVAL IN THE 21ST CENTURY Very rarely in life does one encounter a book with the magnitude of Viktoras Kulvinskas' Survival in the 21st Century. Within it's pages, Love consciousness springs forth from a master of body ecology. Viktoras' pioneering work has touched so many people, it is considered by many as a "new age bible" in the holistic and health field. Few can resist the wisdom and experience this buried treasure shares and although Survival was written 27 years ago, one would be amazed at how time stands still within it's pages. Learn how to heal yourself from the whole spectrum of illness and degenerative disease - from cancer and arthritis to heart disease and the common cold - by the use of living foods. Find out how to experience the esoteric realities and bliss of the universe, the energy of divine love, as proclaimed by the ancient masters. Various forms of yoga and meditation are thoroughly covered to attain vibrant health and perpetual youth. The phrase, "you are what you eat" cannot be more evident as Viktoras expertly breaks down what we eat, how we eat it and the effects of those foods have on our human temple. Food combining, vitamin and mineral content, calories, enzymes, water, wheatgrass and sprouting are all defined in very simple terms and in fact, easy enough for a child to understand the common sense of it all. Cooked food vs. raw foods, as well as various types of diet are discussed to achieve optimum nutrition. Sproutarian, fruitarian, vegetarian and macrobiotic are all choices that enlighten and inspire one to make positive change. Also covered are many methods of fasting, with advice on how to prepare and experience a glorious cleansing of the body. There truly is no territory that is not covered in Survival. The father, mother and child chapter touches on pregnancy, superior childbirth and how to raise the youth to achieve their fullest potential. A large amount of alternative therapies are included. Physiognomy, iridology, zone and color therapy, massage, acupressure and healing herbs are all supported by amazing testimonials. The first holistic book to be published with medical journal references. Few of the most outstanding features are: Insight into practical spirituality; development of positive mind set; how be free of menstruation; a new paradigm of cancer - theory and cure, as proven to work successfully at the Hippocrates; dietary/spiritual relativism and transition; back to the land orientation; love, tantra and karma. What was once the rebirth of the of the living food movement is now an even more relevant and precious gift. This book should be standard reading for anyone interested in the health and healing world. The range of topics are vast and have clearly been supported by science over the recent years. From students to teachers...Survival is the ultimate reference guide to a very unique and special lifestyle. I have 4 versions...different printings over the years...and would suggest the 2006

Somewhat dated, but teachings are timeless

Well, some things never change. Some things do. I believe what this book is trying to teach is part of the former. It costs some money, but if you are willing to use it towards your body/life (rather than putting it away after finished), it will pay itself over. It has a lot of valuable insights for today even though it was written by a guy part of the flower power hippie generation. Viktoras really loves every one of his readers; you can feel that as you read the book. Now, the editing and fonts used could be better, etc. The drawings are hand-made, and look childish (but they make their point very well). Sometimes he starts a subject, changes to something else then chapters later is back to the original issue - I'll try to put things together in my review. What's the story about survival? Well, you just need to study the religious books of every tradition, including Christianity - big things seem to be or will be happening in our lifetimes. Even if you are not religious you can just look around and feel that life is getting tougher... much tougher, lots of people starving, lots of pollution, global warming triggering disasters (tsunami, earthquakes, hurricanes, tornados).Basically the book is a manual on how to get a very good health and have a loving heart so that you can do well and even help others in case those catastrophes happen. The food plays an important part for basically everyone. And yet, it is being poisoned daily with hormones, chemicals, solvents and so on. People should move to organic food. The author strongly advocates a vegetarian diet (vegan actually - no diary, eggs or fish), saying that is better for the health, touching even the subject of the famous B-12 vitamin, supposedly lacking in vegetarians (who need less of it in the first place). Too much protein is harmless for health (this is consistent with other research I made - it seems to affect liver and kidneys). Similarly, too many carbohydrates aren't that good (liver and pancreas; have you heard of diabetes?). He explains that the best temperature for a food is as close as possible to the body's. Moreover, cooking could destroy up to 85% of the nutrients, so if the body could already digest them, they are better. He suggests eating sprouts, because they contain a lot of nutrients, much more than grown up plants. He says that fruits are the ideal food - not only from religious texts, but also scientifically, in addition to not harming the plant when harvesting them (no karmic consequences). However, one doesn't need to go overboard with them - fruits are after all sugars and could harm in too big a quantity. Also, weeds have incredible nutritive and healing powers (e.g. lamb's quarters contains much more iron than spinach), and if one takes time to learn and become accustomed with those weeds it will never be hungry even when lost in wilderness. Food is important, but isn't everything, so one could use the healing powers of nature. It so happens that chlorophyll (the g

Essential for anyone who cares about their future on earth!

This book is like burried treasure. Written years ago (updated 34th printing) the author explains things in such simple form that even a baby can comprehend. My seven year old son grasped many of the concepts offered in this book rather easily. We are raw foodists in a big city, with this new (old) information we learned more about how to obtain the maximum nutrition on such a diet. The breakdown of survival techniques are clear and to the point, with several options available in the case of different geographical location, economic status, or space available to the survivalist. The author obviously cares about his and the lives of others. Its fun, its interesting, its necesary information to have in the dawn of the promised calamities ahead. P.S. Not just for those confined to earth, if you know what I mean.The cost of this book seems to increase just about every year, and for a paper back it can seem rather pricey, but its worth it for the vast range of informatiion given.

A compendium of health food technology

I learned about this book 20 years ago, long before the health-food explosion. It was written by a computer programmer who got sick and healed himself with health foods. It is a true reference book, a compliation of hundreds of sources with an extensive bibliography. A true find!
