An elementary course explaining how to put together a balanced diet of unprocessed natural foods – with a strong emphasis on avoiding fanaticism and being flexible at times. The aim is to maintain health or to reverse existing illness through self-healing on the basis that nutrition is a factor in most illnesses. The course is not about treating disease.

The program covers:
    1. the major nutrients – proteins, carbohydrates (sugars and starches), fats (we must have some), minerals, vitamins, fibre, enzymes and water;
    2. foods supplying those nutrients, including a visual demonstration of a wide range of food items;
    3. food combining for better digestion and avoiding indigestion; the principles and practice of balanced daily meal plans, with a pattern that reduces cancer risk;
    4. nutrition for the prevention of heart disease; and
    5. nutrition for the prevention of cancer.
