"The Center for Disease Control states that more than 75 percent of diseases are preventable or reversible with. no doctors, no medicine, and no surgery! Sounds impossible, right? And yet, it's truly so simple and logical that, in our so-called "enlightened" society, it seems ridiculous to us. The solution? Return to GOd's diet plan as described on Day 3 of creation in Genesis 1:29. That's it! Departing from God's divine diet has brought us to the brink of physical disaster! Heart disease. Cancer. Type 2 diabetes. High blood pressure. Obesity. And premature death. Modern foods leave our cells starving for nutrients and the body bulging from exces empty calories. We are overfed and undernourished by processed foods that create unrelenting hunger and perpetuate unhealthy food addictions. We are digging our graves with a fork and spoon one bite at a time! In Alive! Dr. Stoll provides these informative and helpful features: Biblically documented nutrition guide; Quick-reference Food Guide; Research from 10,000+ science and medical articles and reorts; Facts verified in 200+ books and with the world's nutritional authorities; and fully cross-referenced index. Using the Bible, case studies, medical research, and scientific facts, Dr. Stoll teaches us how to retreat from our suicidal sugar-and-fat based diet to God's divine plant-based food plan. If we return to God's original provision of food, we can achieve renewed health, disease reversal, and energized life into our eighties, nineties, and beyond! This in not just another fad diet -it's God's perfect food plan. Try it. You'll live longer and truly enjoy being Alive! And the spiritual benefits are out of this world!" - from the rear outer cover. "It's a simple fact: the more times man handles or processes food, the more likely it is to produce disease. Today, both our waistlines and bookshelves are bulging, and yet every year we continue to search for the next easy answer to painless weight loss. Have you ever wondered what we ate before all of the hype? Sadly, we typically choose to eat only for the now and the "Wow!" But the exciting news is that we can eat for both health and taste! We don't have to give up one to have the other. God provided the proper fuel for our bodies when he created every green plant, seed-bearing plant, and fruit on Day 3 of creation. These foods sufficiently feed and fuel the body and lead to optimized function, renewed strength, more energy, and disease resistance. The growing body of scientific evidence confirms that making a simple shift in diet to foods that God created not only prevents disease, but also has the power to reverse disease. Dr. Stoll shares with us God's perfect plan for food that was designed to draw us back to a daily or bite-by-bite relationship with him. The forty chapters in this book represent a forty-day transformatinal journey toward a biblically balanced understanding of health. Part 1: A study of why you are in Christ and why your body and health are important to God. Part 2: A basic explanation of how your body works, why food can cause or reverse disease, and a biblically based solution in harmony with current scientific research. Part 3: The steps that will help you make lifelong, lasting change and inspire you to finish strong. Many people have experienced tremendous change by following God's plan, and you can, too, during your forty-day journey of renewal and regeneration. So let's go!" - from the extended French-style front cover flap.…
