Food Healing to Conquer ANY Disease
Food Healing to Conquer ANY Disease
By Qigong Practitioner Jeff Primack
Jeff Primack has taught Qigong for 20 years to over 50k people at Qi Revolution conferences. He is author of “Conquering Any Disease”, a science-supported medical textbook endorsed by doctors that give food functions and protocols to help people reverse epidemic diseases of today.
What if Clogged Arteries and Parkinson’s were caused by the same oxidative force?
FREE RADICALS in food are the real villain and lack an electron, thus robbing electrons from healthy cells causing cholesterol to crystalize and brain to form plaque. Oxidation is the death mechanism. What turns an apple brown is the same force hardening brain in dementia and Parkinson’s. Luckily, God has a plan for our healing with food as medicine.
ELIMINATING FRIED FOOD is more important than being organic.
Top scientists of “International HNE Club” published their latest findings that cholesterol hardens when oxidized by free radicals. French fries in America were found to possess extreme levels of free radicals, HydroxyNonEnal (HNE). In addition to causing cholesterol hardening, HNE radicals high in all fried foods, cause DNA oxidation, which leads to replication of cancer cells instead of healthy cells. 2017 science on fats makes it clear the importance of cutting out fried foods, akin to smoking cigarettes.
Butter, coconut and olive oil produce less free radicals when heated.
These oils are made of saturated & monounsaturated fats that don’t oxidize easily. Canola and soybean oils have more polyunsaturated fatty acids, which are unstable oxidizing faster. In the “Conquering Any Disease” book I provide evidence for returning to a high saturated fat diet and avoiding processed oils.
Aside from cooking oils, we get free radical exposure being near car exhaust and factories.
Only a high-phytochemical diet can give you effective protection from radical oxidation in your body. Humans can run marathons looking for a cancer cure, yet by avoiding fried oils and eating superfoods humans reverse cancer. Our food protocol for cancer has been used by hundreds of Qigong students with success since 2005. There’s an emphasis on foods to detoxify, but the real effects come from rebuilding blood and reversing oxidation with electron-dense pigments.
Pigments are colorful due to having DOUBLE BONDS, which contain four electrons that can be used to “quench radicals”.
Neutralization of free radicals by electrons in food pigments is the best way to avoid disease. America is on a low pigment diet! Black sesame seeds contain Melanin, a pigment stored by the Substantia Nigra in the brain where dopamine is made. Colorful pigments in hair signal fertility and many foods are proven by science to regrow hair, such as red onions and red apples.
Carotenoids have the BRIGHTEST COLOR of all pigments and no other molecule is more healing.
Eye health, vision and fertility are restored by eating them and they protect against sunburns. Egg yolks have 1mg of lutein per yolk to give it that vivid yellow. Spinach has 10x more lutein than egg yolks by weight, however recent science shows the egg was far more bioavailable. This is because carotenoids are fat soluble and made more bioavailable in the presence of oil. Cooked carrots are shown to have greater blood plasma absorption of betacarotene than raw in humans. I suggest both raw and cooked to obtain maximum benefits.
RED carotenoids neutralize free radicals 2x faster than Orange and 4x faster than Yellow!
There is a hierarchy and RED is best. Lutein (yellow pigment) has 10 double bonds in its chromophore. Betacarotene (orange) has 11 double bonds and Lycopene (pink) has 13 double bonds. Does it surprise that pink with 13 double bonds is a more effective electron donor than orange with 11? RED FOODS are the most profound evolution to the human diet. When Italy began making tomato paste it spawned great thinkers and strong men. Only peppers (cousin of tomato) evolved the deep red carotenoid called, CAPSANTHIN. I think pepper’s carotenoids being the reddest are the most healing.
Since learning the importance of RED carotenoids I’ve made Pepper Paste hundreds of times! I have a pepper problem…
We give fresh “Primack Pepper Paste” samples to every person who attends Qi Revolution. Unfortunately, people can’t buy it yet, but we show everyone how to make it. Tomato paste, sauce and ketchup are next best sources. Claudia Gabrielle MD, Ivy league educated doctor, says she learned more on Food-Healing at the Qi Revolution than in medical school! We invite you, the seekers of truth, to be educated and learn Food as Medicine.
Nutrition Response Testing
Nutrition Response Testing
by Dr. Randall Haas
What is Nutrition Response Testing?
Nutrition Response Testing is a non-invasive system of analyzing the body to determine the underlying causes of illness and non-optimum health.
Our clinically proven system may be quite different from any other healing practice you have experienced. It is not one based on masking symptoms through drugs or medication but instead finding the underlying cause of the problem and helping the body heal itself.
Factually, this is a new paradigm in healing and we believe this is Healthcare as Mother Nature Intended.
What can I expect in my first appointment?
We will have some questions for you before and during the testing. The first step involves a full health history, symptom survey, a Health Express Analysis computerized test and the Nutrition Response Testing itself. The actual procedure is simple and direct, with your body providing all the information and feedback needed. We use the extraordinary ability of the human cells and tissues to bring about healing and health improvements bringing about a Total Health Restoration for you and your entire family.
What are we testing for?
As the Doctor is using the Nutrition Response Testing he is testing your body’s neurological reflexes. These reflexes are the nervous system’s way of telling him what and how your organ’s and other body systems are doing because the nervous system regulates the body’s functions for each and every organ. The testing includes all organs, glands, joints, muscles and the entire body.
These reflexes are tested on the surface of the body and then the findings are analyzed and your personal Total Health Restoration program will be designed.
He will do the analysis by contacting your extended arm with one hand while contacting a specific reflex area with the other hand. If the tested reflex is stressed your nervous system will respond by reducing energy to your extended arm and send it to the stressed organ or body part. This will cause your extended arm to weaken and drop. This indicates an underlying stress or other dysfunction in that area of your body which may be adversely affecting your health.
Once the underlying cause of the dysfunction is corrected using proper nutrition the “weak” muscle response in your arm will no longer occur.
Since we directly use your body and nervous system for analysis it is faster and often more accurate than lab tests. Additionally, there are no huge, expensive machines, no drugs, surgery, nasty needles or hefty lab fees to cover.
How soon will I see improvement?
Although every case is different, we often hear enthusiastic reports from patients in as little as 4-6 weeks. The fastest recoveries are from those who most closely follow their recommended nutritional program.
Is it Important to stick to the plan?
Generally chronic health problems do not suddenly develop overnight. They develop over years of improper nutrition and eating unhealthy, or due to taking prescription drugs, or other environmental toxins present in the body. This causes nutritional deficiencies and imbalances which then become chronic health problems. Often there are additional issues from chemical toxins to heavy metals, parasites, radiation, pollutants and other environmental health hazards. All of these things have created your current health condition.
Therefore, the sooner and more thoroughly you get started on taking control of your health and get a nutrition program specifically created to fix your health issues the faster you see results. Once you start your Total Health Restoration program if you continue your poor dietary habits and don’t use self-discipline (and our guidance) to overcome these, you may not improve as much as you’d hoped. Full and dedicated commitment to the program is what will restore you to optimum health, vitality and well-being.
What are my chances for recovery?
Nutrition Response Testing, as developed by Dr. Freddie Ulan, has been successfully applied for nearly 2 decades to 10s of thousands of patients with a wide variety of often chronic, long-term health conditions by hundreds of Doctors and Practitioners across the United States and Canada. After it is determined that you are indeed a case whose health condition can be significantly helped with Nutrition Response Testing in our clinical experience we don’t believe there is any healing method which could help you more than Nutrition Response Testing, Designed Clinical Nutrition and a Total Health Restoration program. If, after your first visit, it is determined you are not a case who could be helped by Nutrition Response Testing and Designed Clinical Nutrition we will not accept you as a patient. That being said, it is also our experience that the majority (90-95%) of patients that experience non-optimum and chronic health conditions CAN be helped if they choose to start on the road to true healing through our programs.
The program consists of an initial visit, a subsequent Report of Finding visit, and then a package of 12 short testing visits that begin typically as weekly, and then may be spread out based on the patient’s improvement. Additionally, a re-evaluation (both subjective and objective) to assess improvement occurs twice during the program.

Waking Up With Back Pain
Back pain can make you dread lying down straight on your bed and sleeping peacefully goes out of the window no matter if the sheep counting goes from hundred to a thousand. According to latest statistics, 8 out of every 10 Americans are suffering from back pain and it is affecting more women than men (nearly one-third of women suffer from back pain compared to a quarter of men) and it is more common in older adults.Back Sleeping
Back sleeping is the most recommended sleeping position to avoid back pain due to the fact that your body weight is distributed evenly, putting less strain on your back. To take it up a notch and really avoid any pain what so ever, try to sleep in a way that your back is neither totally flat nor arched up while sleeping on you back. A good way to achieve this position is by putting a pillow under your knees. This helps to support the natural curve of your spine when you sleep on your back.Side Sleeping
Stomach Sleeping
It Is Just Not Your Position That Matters
What if you are following the already mentioned tips to the core and still suffer from back pains on a daily basis? This means that either you have a medical condition (which is to be honest a prime example of jumping to conclusions) or that something else might be wrong as well. The nearest thing to back pain while sleeping has to be something related closely to you while you are asleep and nothing is more close to you while sleeping than your mattress. Take it from me, you need to re-evaluate your mattress if nothing is working and you will surely feel the difference in a couple of days. Look for signs of weariness and notice whether you need a firmer mattress to support your back. According to research 63% people have reported improved quality of sleep and a significant decrease in back pain after changing their mattress. Sleep experts recommend that you must evaluate your mattress every 5-7 years.

Cleaning Out Your Environment and Eating Clean
This is what the typical standard American diet cabinet looks like. But if you want to get healthy, it’s time to clean out your cabinets and fridge.You skin absorbs what you put on it including chemicals from lotions, oils and make up. Mascara has mercury in it, and lipstick has lead in it. Skin care products don’t disclose the toxic ingredients on the label. Organic all natural body care products are the safest.
Stop using the harsh household cleaners; dish soap, laundry detergent, bathroom cleaner. Switch to natural, non toxic, organic cleaning products. There are lots of clean non toxic natural cleaning products out there, or make your own.
Find non-toxic body care products and household cleaning products at www.ewg.org. It is a great place to find out what brands are potentially toxic and find cleaner brands.
Cook Clean
Get comfortable in your kitchen and start cooking more of your own meals. Eating at home saves calories, is much healthier and is cheaper. Avoid high-fat cooking methods like deep-frying or stewing in animal or vegetable fats; instead, steam or stir-fry to preserve nutritional value. Use coconut and olive oil in place of butter, and replace refined salt with pink Himalayan sea salt, spices, herbs, garlic and lemon.
Eat Clean
Eat Organic Vegetables and Fruits
Eating a 95% plant based diet has been shown to reduce the risk for heart disease, high blood pressure, obesity, diabetes, cancer and other diseases. Some veggies get a nutritional boost by cooking and others are best when eaten raw.
When cooking, it’s better to steam, bake, or sauté to preserve nutritional value. Replace pasta with zucchini or spaghetti squash spirals.
Eat Healthy Grains
Refined products are more processed and are often stripped of their healthy fiber and vitamins. Choose quinoa, oats, black red and brown rice. Don’t eat white rice, breads, and packaged and processed foods; especially cookies, crackers and cakes with unhealthy ingredients.
Eat Natural Foods
Since eating clean means eating whole foods, it makes sense that processed foods with lots of added sugar are not a part of the clean healthy lifestyle. Skip candy, soda, prepackaged cookies and sweets altogether.
Read food labels carefully, and pay close attention to foods that contain sugars, like granola bars, cereal, oatmeal, canned fruit, spaghetti sauce, barbecue sauce, salad dressing, frozen desserts, fruit juice, lemonade, sports drinks and bottled teas. Look for better alternatives or make your own homemade versions.
Eat Less Meat
The healthiest rule of thumb is to treat meat as a condiment incorporating only about 5% animal products in your diet if you feel a need to eat meat. Look for locally sourced, kosher, organic, free-range, 100% grass-fed animal meat when available and aim for a couple of servings max per week. Unless you are fighting a major disease, in which case it is recommended to cut out all animal products for a time until your body is in a healthier state.
Drink Clean
Eating clean also means drinking clean water and avoiding sugary drinks. You really need to purify your drinking water, even if you have well water.
If you are drinking tap water then you are likely drinking bleach, fluoride, and other toxins which can cause cancer.
They put fluoride in our drinking water because in the 1950s the aluminum industry convinced the government to put fluoride in our drinking water to get rid of their toxic waste byproduct from manufacturing. It was illegal to dump in rivers but convinced the government it was okay for us to drink it. You don’t need fluoride in your drinking water or on your teeth.
You can filter your water with a counter top filter or a reverse osmosis system which mounts under your sink. The Berkey water filter is a great option, is portable, and is very economical, and removes hundreds of contaminants.
Your body can remove these toxins if you stop adding them.
So we want to reduce our toxic load and reduce as many of these harmful things as possible.

An Overview of My Starting Fresh Plan
7 reasons To Embrace Health Change
“Change happens when the pain of staying the same is greater than the pain of change.” Tony Robbins
Do you ever wonder what it means to be healthy? Every day I’m reminded of the horrible nutrition information and misconceptions that bombards us constantly.
I know that you want the truth and it’s difficult to find because it’s drowned out by all the confusion. Very little of the nutritional information that makes it public is based on science. I’m constantly researching core principles that show how nutrition and health truly operate to share with you in a simple understandable and easily digested method to implement change.
Have you been wondering if it’s healthy to eat meat, if you should become a vegetarian, vegan, or what’s the difference?
My goal is to help guide you to make health simple and to make simple choices. I will translate the facts into recommendations that you can begin to incorporate every day. I want to show you a new understanding of nutrition and health, which foods you should eat and which ones to avoid, and that the benefits of a healthy lifestyle are enormous.
I want you to know for full disclosure that I am not a health professional. I’m just an ordinary person with no special health training that has reaped so many benefits from changing our diet and environment and want to share my experience and research of experts with you. I hope it encourages you to know that you can gain great benefits too and your body wants to heal itself if you give it half a chance.
Don’t just take my word for it. According to T. Colin Campbell, PhD and Thomas M. Campbell II, MD in their book, The China Study, I quote them to say that by eating right you can:
- Live longer
- Look and feel younger
- Have more energy
- Lose weight
- Lower your blood cholesterol
- Prevent and even reverse heart disease
- Lower your risk of prostate, breast and other cancers
- Preserve your eyesight in your later years
- Prevent and treat diabetes
- Avoid surgery in many instances
- Vastly decrease the need for pharmaceutical drugs
- Keep your bones strong
- Avoid impotence
- Avoid stroke
- Prevent kidney stones
- Keep your baby from getting Type 1 diabetes
- Alleviate constipation
- Lower your blood pressure
- Avoid Alzheimer’s
- Beat arthritis
- And more…
These are only some of the benefits, and all of them can be yours. The price? Simply changing your diet. I don’t know that it has ever been so easy or relatively effortless to achieve such profound benefits. The above paragraph was a direct quote from their book.
I feel people need hope that cancer may not be a death sentence as we’ve been conditioned to believe. They need hope to know there is a better way, the natural way God intended. It is my hope to be one little voice to help empower you to learn more about taking action against a life threatening situation regarding your health or that of your loved one, or to just be in better health.
Natural God given water, vitamins, nutrients and minerals in the proper balance heals our body and fights off diseases such as cancer, an autoimmune disease, or most bodily ailments. Knowledge and action is the key to wellness.
Change is a process, are you resisting it?
You may feel resistance. It may not be easy. But we all have to stretch our comfort zones and move our lives forward.
The truth is, living is a risk. Don’t worry about mistakes and failures, worry about what you’re losing when you don’t even try. This is not about deprivation. Give yourself permission to be one of the people who made mistakes and has some challenges, but recovered from them and developed into your healthier self.
That’s what I wish for YOU.
So here are 7 good reasons it’s time for all of us to embrace change and get healthier…
- Everything changes whether you embrace it or not. – If nothing ever changed there would be nothing new tomorrow. Most of us stay comfortable where we are even though everything is constantly changing around us. The first step is awareness. Because only when we change, do we improve, and begin to see what’s possible. And don’t forget, however good or bad a situation is now, it will change. That’s the one thing you can count on. I remember thinking terminal thoughts many years ago when I suffered from Lupus and arthritis. There were times when I didn’t have the strength to even turn myself over in bed for 3 days. I wondered at that time if I would ever be free of pain and suffering. But my situation improved. So embrace it. It won’t always be easy or obvious at first, but in the end it will be worth taking steps to improve.
- Live life to the fullest. – It’s never too late to live a day that makes you feel better. We get one shot at today and we can make it better. There’s no age limit on changing your path. It’s never too late or too early to improve your body, mind, or spirit. There’s no perfect time – so start now. You can change or stay the same – it’s really up to you, and only you. So make the best of it. If you’ve fallen short before, start again. Spend time with people who help you be better. If you find that you’re not living a life that makes you feel good, have the courage to change.
- You can’t grow by staying in your comfort zone. – When your body hurts, you’re overweight, your mind is confused, and your heart is heavy with pain and ailments, it’s time to change. Sometimes you must let go to grow. Clean out your cabinets of all the processed foods. You cannot discover new victories unless you build up enough determination to let go of past defeating habits. Listen to your spirit. And remember, no effort is ever a waste of time. You may not be where you need to be yet but you will be closer than you were before.
- The past will not change your future. – You can spend hours, weeks, or months, over-analyzing your problems from the past, beating yourself up about your situation, trying to put the pieces together, and justifying what could’ve or should’ve happened, maybe even feeling sorry for yourself. Or you can just start today to accept that the past doesn’t have to be the future, and make a commitment to get out of the dark and into the sunlight. The body can rejuvenate quickly in a better environment. The mind can develop different thought patterns.
- Holding on to old pain is self-abuse. – If your past has been painful then seek to make changes and use that wisdom for a better today. Don’t let it haunt you. Replaying a painful memory over and over in your head is a form of self-abuse. Toxic thoughts create a toxic life. Make peace with yourself and your past. When you heal your thoughts, you heal your mind. So stop focusing on old pains and things you don’t want in your future. The more you think about them, the more you attract what you fear into your everyday experiences – get out of your own way. Change the negativity to positivity by changing your habits. Forgive yourself or someone else and free yourself from that pain.
- Taking daily action steps creates positive change. – You may blame everyone else and think, “Poor me! Why did I have to get this disease, why do I have this pain?” But maybe you aren’t the victim, but your poor lifestyle choices and eating habits are to blame. YOU alone have the power to change things, or change the way you think about things. Surrendering to change is very powerful. Victory over your health is very liberating. You can only find victory one small change at a time until one day you look back and everything changed.
- Feeling better is waiting for you. – Yes, it will be different and take some time. There will be challenges and disruptions to your normal schedule. There will still be heartache and loss and nobody gets through life without losing someone they love, suffering, or something they thought was meant to be. But it is so worth taking steps to be in the best health you can be. You won’t know just how good you can feel until you go all out and give it all you’ve got to be the best you can possibly be. Do you want to settle for any less? Do you want to continue to be sick and tired of being sick and tired? Yes, you are venturing into unfamiliar territory. Embrace the newness of that. Welcome the new foods into your diet with a quest for adventure. Explore new tastes and new recipes. You might really enjoy them and they can be very refreshing, instead of your same stale culinary routine. You will enjoy new sensations if you open your mind to the taste possibilities, knowing God gave us a rainbow of possible foods to explore that you probably never knew existed.
Learn a new way, challenge what you have been taught as truth, and be ready to experience something or meet someone that just might change your life forever.

Healthy Tip
Look Who’s Talking
Use this guide to help you obtain your goals and get started on a healthier routine
- Spend some time visualizing what you would like your physical, emotional, spiritual, and mental well-being to look like.
- Start by writing down your goals and the health issues or conditions that you would like to see improved.
- Measure and record your weight.
- It’s always helpful to have a journal to refer back to in this process. It is a sure way to keep you on track with your new healthy plan.
- You can test your pH level by doing the saliva pH test or the urine pH test. Test your pH level periodically during the process of your change in diet and be sure to include this in your journal.
- Your body heals itself at night, while you are sleeping. Therefore, you must get plenty of rest.
- Allow yourself more time to rest, especially in the beginning when your body is in high cleansing mode.
- If you are having a hard time sleeping at night, try exercising during the day so your body is ready for sleep.
- Rebounding on a mini trampoline and exercises like yoga are very healing for your lymphatic system, which is one way your body rids itself of toxic waste.
- Drink half of your weight in ounces each day to maintain hydration. So if you weight 150 lbs, you should drink 75 ounces (that’s slightly larger than a 2-liter bottle) a day of quality water. This is so important as 98% of Americans remain chronically dehydrated.
- Keeping your body well hydrated is extremely important in this cleansing process because it alkalizes your body; you can further alkalize your body by squeezing lemon juice into your water daily.
- Drinking fluids at meals will dilute the digestive juices and slow the digestive process. Leave a half hour between fluids (including broths) and meals.
- Lack of water is the number one trigger of daytime fatigue.
- Your body needs as much water in cold weather as it does in warm weather.
- Your body loses as much water when you are sleep as when you are awake.
- Research indicates that 8-10 glasses of water a day could significantly ease back and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers.
- Organic is always best if possible.
- The more you consume fruits and vegetables, the better it is for you. Not only are they powerful healers, they have an alkalizing effect on our bodies.
- Approximately 80% of your daily nutritional intake should come from fruits and vegetables, with lots of leafy greens.
- By eating a wide variety of green leafy vegetables, nuts, seeds, beans and sprouts you’ll have the daily protein needs your body requires.
- Vegetable proteins are easily used by your body compared to animal proteins, and they pack huge healing qualities to boot!
- Vegetable protein helps to alkalize your body, whereas animal protein is acidic.
- Use organic coconut oil for cooking.
- For raw recipes use healthy oils like extra virgin olive, flax seed, and hemp oil.
- Clear your kitchen of all the foods that contain hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oils.
- Use coconut oil and avocados as a substitute for butter and margarine. Avocados are healthy fats that can boost your health and provide vitamins and minerals for your body.
- Change your habits from eating processed junk foods, to eating natural and healthy foods like fruits, nuts, seeds, and veggies; then you will no longer crave the Standard American Diet (SAD).
- Teach your taste buds to appreciate the natural sugars in fruits and avoid additional sugars and artificial sweeteners. Sugar is acidic to our body and causes a lot of problems by overwhelming our immune systems.
- Enjoy lots of deserts made with healthy ingredients instead of skipping deserts.
- Use Himalayan sea salt because it has lots of minerals and trace elements and is easier for your body to use; instead of refined bleached table salt.
- Research the spices and herbs in your kitchen and look for ways to increase your use of them. Your cravings for salt and sugar will start to diminish.
- Meat, eggs and other dairy products have an acidifying effect on the chemistry of our body.
- I like the approach of consuming animal products as condiments.
- Coconut and almond milk can be substituted for cow’s milk. If you use commercial brands, buy ones without harmful carrageenan ingredient.
- Fruits are the easiest foods for our bodies to digest; and do not combine well with other foods. Eat fruits first, allow 15 minutes before you eat other foods.
- Eat starchy foods and proteins separately. Our body processes starches and proteins differently. When eaten at the same time, they cause unnecessary acidity with sluggish digestion.
- Choose grains like quinoa, millet and sprouted grains as they are alkaline. You can use steamed cauliflower in your food processor to make a rice substitute that is alkalizing.
