Preface
The authors of this book have
endeavored to present to you a simple
way to arrange your style of living so
that you can prevent many of the
chronic degenerative diseases. Our
appetites and lethargy have combined
to interfere with our having the best
of health, considering the bodies that
we have inherited. For four thousand
years this aging world has been
gradually deteriorating because of the
washing effect of rainfall. We need
the rain to help things to grow. How-
ever, the many soluble elements in
the soil have gradually been marching
off to the lakes and seas. The result
has been the deterioration of the
plant growth on the land. T h e
prophet describes this in Isaiah 51:6,
“The earth shall wax old like a
garment, and they that dwell therein
shall die in like manner.”
bodies. Let us consider the challenge
to avoid foods that some would have
us buy for their profit, but would be
detrimental to our health.
This book was prepared for the
purpose of informing you and other
readers about the major laws of
health. When these laws are put into
practice steadily and faithfully, our
wonderfully designed bodies can
regain a great measure of our lost
health. Cancers can be prevented.
The plugging up of our arteries all
over our bodies can be reversed.
Circulation to our hearts, joints, and
brains can be gradually reopened. Our
immune system can be strengthened
to a remarkable degree.
The Creator has designed the natural
produce in such a way as to supply us
with wonderful, tasty foods from the
farm and gardens. Let us endeavor to
build up our soils, grow the best foods
that we can, prepare them simply
without spices or greases and oils of
all kinds, and eat them with relish
and thankfulness for all those good
things.
We have not helped the situation.
Food processors have catered to the
whims and tastes of us all and made
many quick and fast foods. The
natural produce of the field from this
deteriorating ground has been consi-
dered “raw” material to use to take
apart and put money making items
into the market. In the process, w e
have lost much of what the wise
Creator had placed in the edible
plants for us. We remove twenty or
more important constituents, add
back six or so items, and say it is
“enriched.” To keep it from spoiling
we put in additives and preservatives
rather than to prepare it in a manner
that would keep it from getting
modified by oxygenation.
Those who have prepared this and
similar manuals have observed
marked success in their friends who
have applied these health principles.
No, not every disease can be over-
come. We still live on a planet that
will need to be recreated. But that
will come in time. May God bless you,
guide you, and strengthen you as you
learn how, and resolve to apply these
laws of health.
But there is hope. If we will but ask,
God will give us the desire and the
power to correct our faulty appetites
and help us learn what is best for our

Acknowledgments
Through various experiences and
circumstances the authors have come
to appreciate more and more the
health principles given by our Creator
in His Word; also, the sound
principles and guidelines, so in
harmony with the Scriptures,
recorded in the works by Ellen G.
White, well-known Health Educator.
As we have shared these principles
with others and have seen them reap
the benefits of improved health, a
desire crystalized to share them on a
broader scale through this manual.

the assistance and support of Milton
G. Crane, M.D., and Agatha M. Thrash,

Vegetarian,Whole Foods,Cookery and Health Seminar
The late Lee Heathman, co-author of the
Leaves from the Tree of Life,
Vegetarian Whole Foods Cookery and Health Seminar Manual
, longed to help
others in some special way. In her search for avenues of service she made
arrangements to participate as a Observer/Trainee Home Health Counselor for
the NEWSTART
“
program at Weimar Institute in Northern California,
(returning several times later for more training). Her enthusiasm for what she
learned, experienced, and observed, knew no bounds when she returned to her
home in Oregon. She designed a program based on the Weimar NEWSTART
“
Homestyle program, adapting it to large group presentations. Working with a
friend who was already conducting cooking schools in the area, they launched
the program in her home church. These were an immediate success,— well
attended and greatly appreciated by the attendees.
A year or two later Lee invited Merle and co-author Mildred Tillotson to assist
in the program. Merle and Mildred had a long-time interest in the better life-
style presented in this program, having earlier attended health classes on the
East Coast and making some life-style changes at the time; however, they were
impressed by the practical applications of health principles, and the delicious
as well as nourishing recipes presented in these classes. Also, after seeing
many people experiencing marked improvement in their health, including
lowered blood pressure, reduced insulin requirements, abatement of many
heart symptoms, and a sparkle returning to the eyes of the attendees, they did
not want to miss a seminar.
During the few years the two families were privileged to work together in these
cooking and health seminars, they felt a need for a study guide based on the
sound nutrition and health counsel given in the writings of Health Educator
