Becoming too acidic leads to Degenerative Disease
Dr. Cousen considered by many to be the leading holistic M.D. in the U.S. and the world explains in his latest book "Rainbow Green Live Food Cuisine" how Dr. Young's work has influenced his own. For those of you who may not be familiar with Dr. Cousens, he is the worlds foremost live-food medical doctor, guru and author of several books including Conscious Eating, Spiritual Nutrition and The Rainbow Diet, and Depression Free for Life. He is the Director of the Tree of Life Rejuvenation Center in Patagonia, Arizona, home of the Tree of Life Café.

Following is a quote from Pages 1 & 2:
 
"The spark of the idea for this book was furnished by Robert O. Young, Ph.D., D.Sc., in his book "Sick and Tired". He made the point, based on a great deal of microscope dark-field and dry-field research, that a diet low in fungus and mycotoxins (toxins that are produced by fungus) is best for overall health. I have a better appreciation of Robert Young's work since studying pleomorphic science for the last 10 years. "
 
"In my  usual scientific way, I felt that before I even shared these ideas with anyone else, I needed to personally explore this diet. Most of my staff followed me on this diet and three months later most had experienced very significant positive changes in their energy levels and sense of well- being. I began to explore this diet with clients who were suffering from mycotoxicosis.  Again, much to my surprise, people who followed this diet for a period of 3 months showed remarkable positive changes in their blood picture, as well as in the quality of their health and energy."


The theory that I am sharing with you is what is presently known as the pleomorphic theory, developed over a period from the late 1800s to early 1900s by several people who have influenced my understanding of holistic health.  The first is Antoine Bechamp (1816-1908), who was a master of pharmacy, doctor of science, doctor of medicine, professor of medical chemical pharmacy, professor of physics and toxicology, and professor of biological chemistry.

 
What he discovered was the process of fermentation, which he described as the process of digestion by microscopic ferments or life forms.  As a genius in his field, he saw that blood is not a liquid but a flowing tissue.  In his work, he discovered what he called "microzymas" or ferments in the blood.  The mycrozymas are living microscopic and colloidal elements capable of fermenting the sugar in our system.  The microzyma is the smallest living unit in nature and in our bodies; it is much smaller than the cells. 
 
The cornerstone of Bechamp's theory was that maintaining a healthy terrain and biological physiology is the key to health.  When the biological terrain was disrupted, when people got too ACID, then the natural fermentation process in the body was accelerated, and a morbid evolution of these microzymas would take place.  They would coagulate and pleomorphically permutate into bacteria, yeast, fungus, and eventually mold.  As these morbid pleomorphic forms from the microzymas developed, they fed on our vital body substances and produced more toxins, which we call mycotoxins.  This toxic process resulted in a degenerative disease symptomology.
