This is a comprehensive step by step guide to increasing your health and vitality so you get the most out of your investment. Retail Value AU$39.00 This manual is the culmination of years of dedicated research by world leaders in the field of natural and holistic health education, The Hippocrates Health Institute in Florida. Founded by visionary and humanitarian Ann Wigmore along with Victor Kulvinskas in 1957, the Institutes’ philosophy is based on the concept that the human body is a self–healing and self rejuvenating organism, if given the proper tools and environment. After decades, the Hippocrates Institute continues on the cutting edge as a natural health innovator. This manual shares the immense knowledge accumulated by the Institute.  How our food affects our life This manual will tell you the sometimes shocking truth about how our food has deviated over time. Did you realise that the pineapple flavour in your food is probably Ethyl Acetate which is also leather cleaner and its vapours have been known to cause chronic organ damage.  "We produce pesticides today at a rate more than 13,000 times faster than we did only 35 years ago. Our environment and food chains are being inundated by a virtual avalanche of pesticides. What three decades ago took us six years to produce, we now produce every couple of hours." John Robbins – Diet for a New America However, the way to natural health is really very simple. Supernutrition through germinating and sprouting "The use of sprouted seeds for food and medicine is more than twice as old as the Great Wall of China and was even noted in their historical records." Have you always liked the idea of spouting and germinating but didn’t quite know how to do it effectively? This manual takes you through all the advantages, with step by step advice on how to grow, sprout and incorporate living sprouts, seeds and leafy greens into your diet. Optimum assimilation and digestion A primarily raw food diet is the best way to go. However, the Hippocrates Program will tell you how to correctly combine your foods, how to achieve colon health, and incorporate juice fasting into your health regime. Expanding the parameters of health Who will deny the importance of sunlight, air and water in a full natural life? Yet in today's polluted environment the search for these elements, which are so necessary, has become problematic. This manual provides practical tips on how to improve your environment by detoxifying your home, wearing natural fibres, and seeking the freshest air possible.

What is living juice?
The concept of living juice was first introduced by Dr. Norman Walker (1874-1983). Walker declared that the enzymes in fruit and vegetables die at temperatures which exceed 50 degrees Celsius. Walker explained that any juice extractor that used high-speed blade or centrifuge created friction heat leading to the destruction of enzymes.

In 1930 Walker designed the 'Norwalk' juicing machine. This is still sold today for $A5,500. Until the early 1990's the Norwalk remained the only machine that produced a living juice. After Walker retired, Max Gerson took over his work and won a Nobel Prize for his achievements using living juice therapies for people with cancer.

'Living juice' retains the integrity of minerals and enzymes. Similar to whole fruits and vegetables, the juice extracted by the gentle crushing of the cell wall (without exposure to massive amounts of air which is sucked into centrifugal juicers), is alive with all that is needed to keep the elements living.

Bottled juice
There are many bottled juices available on the market today. One of the problems with these is that many of the valuable nutrients are lost during the juicing process. If you make your own juice and drink it fresh, you will have control over the quality of the fruits and vegetables you are consuming, and in many cases you will save money. Your local Farmer's Market is a great place to buy fresh, inexpensive and often organic produce. 

No matter what your age, it is never too late to start drinking your fruits and vegetables. Juices can flush toxins from your body, are good for your weight, heart, circulation and overall well being. Juices contain no saturated fats or added sodium and can be helpful in lowering your cholesterol.


A 'living juicer'
A 'living juicer' is a term we have developed to describe a juicer which extracts a juice which still has substantial amounts of enzymatic activity, nutrients and vitamins. 

These types of juicers are relatively new to the market, particularly at an affordable price. A true 'living juicer' not only has a slow turning screw or gear mechanism, but is capable, through intelligence of design, to effectively open the cell wall of the produce and release the nutrients. Some single gear juicers produce significant pulp which means the goodness is thrown into the bin or the compost.

What is the Living Food Lifestyle™ ?

Living food is provided by nature, organically grown in its original, uncooked state.

Live foods provide the body with the life-giving, easy-to-digest nourishment needed to strengthen the immune system. Seeds, grains, nuts, fruits and vegetables in their natural, uncooked state are the living food used to rebuild health - physically, mentally, and emotionally.

The teachings of Ann Wigmore are simple, yet deeply rooted in the fertile grounds of love and compassion for humankind - planting generous and global seeds of hope and inspiration for those open and willing to receive change.

Natures Vitamin and Enzyme Factories
Most sprouts are ready to eat in 3-10 days.
All our sprouting seeds are un-treated and chemical free and are supplied by sources Certified Organic. 

A sprout is produced when a seed starts growing into a vegetable. 

Sprouts can grow from the seeds of vegetables, from grains such as buckwheat, and from beans. 

Sprouts vary in texture and taste. Some are spicy (radish and onion sprouts), some are hardy and are often used in oriental food (Mung bean), others are more delicate (alfalfa) and are used in salads and sandwiches to add texture and moistness.

Sprouts are one of the most complete and nutritionally beneficial of all foods.

Why Eat Sprouts? (quoted from The Wonders of Sprouting by Lucie Desjarlais, RNC )

"Lots of reasons! They carry plenty of vitamins, minerals, proteins, and enzymes, all necessary for the body to function optimally. In addition to providing the greatest amount of these nutrients, sprouts deliver them in a form that is easily digested and assimilated. In fact, they improve the efficiency of digestion. Sprouts are also deliciously fresh and colourful! 

Sprouts are very inexpensive (even when organic), always fresh (they grow until you chew them) and have the potential to help solve hunger and malnutrition problems in our communities and in developing countries, because they are so rich in nutrients, affordable, and easy to transport before sprouting. Sprouts are precious in winter, when the quality of fresh fruits and vegetables is declining as their price increases." 

Sprouts are one of the most complete and nutritionally beneficial of all foods. Their nutritional value was discovered by the Chinese thousands of years ago. Recently, in the USA, numerous scientific studies suggest the importance of sprouts in a healthy diet. As an example, a sprouted Mung Bean has the carbohydrate content of a melon, vitamin A of a lemon, thiamine of an avocado, riboflavin of a dry apple, niacin of a banana, and ascorbic acid of a loganberry. Other studies have shown sprouts to be a powerful antioxidant and may assist in preventing some types of cancer. 

Sprouts are the most reliable year-round source of vitamin C, beta-carotene, and many B vitamins (such as folacin). Sprouting seeds, grains, and legumes greatly increases their content of those vitamins. For example, the vitamin A content (per calorie) of sprouted Mung beans is two-and-a-half times higher than the dry bean, and some beans have more than eight times more vitamin A after being sprouted. Sprouts preserve our body's enzymes, which is extremely important. How do they do this? Sprouted beans, grains, nuts, and seeds are extremely easy to digest. Sprouting essentially pre-digests the food for us by breaking down the concentrated starch into simpler carbohydrates and the protein into free amino acids, so our own enzymes don't have to work so hard. Sprouting also removes anti-nutrients such as enzyme inhibitors, and that makes sprouts even easier to digest, further sparing enzymes. Another anti-nutrient is phytates, which is what stops some people from enjoying grains such as wheat. Many people who can't eat un-sprouted wheat find they can eat all the sprouted wheat they want with no problem 

Almost any vegetable or grain can be consumed from sprouts. Broccoli, canola, cauliflower, and mustard greens sprouts are loaded with vitamins, minerals, protein, enzymes, and chlorophyll. In a recent study, 1 oz. of broccoli sprouts had the same cancer-fighting power as over 1½ pounds of fully-grown broccoli. 

Our seeds are the old traditional open pollinated varieties and have no chemical treatment, and no genetic engineering.
Preferably old Australian varieties and organically or bio-dynamically grown where possible.
