The Truth About Pork (The Pig)
The Truth About Pork (The Pig)

 'The pig is a mass of worms. ... These worms even enter your brain, lungs or your spinal fluid. They cause muscular aches, fever and many other symptoms of sickness.' |
The pig is a mass of worms. Each mouthful you eat is not a nutritious food but a mass of small worms the naked eye cannot detect. Worms thrive in the hog. When these worms are digested into your system, they cause a high birth rate to hundreds of new worms called larvae which travels the blood stream of your system and lodge in your muscles. These worms even enter your brain, lungs or your spinal fluid. They cause muscular aches, fever and many other symptoms of sickness. The worm has an amazing ability to go undetected in your system for many years.
The scientific name for the ill-causing worm found in all pork is Trichinella spiralis which causes trichinosis.
Despite what veterinarians, public health officials, the Agricultural Department or your doctor say, the best defense against the pig is DO NOT EAT IT! When you do eat it, you do not hurt God, His Messenger, the Muslim or anyone else. You hurt yourself. Thorough and slow cooking of pork does not remove the danger of the worms found in all pork. Additional cooking of pork purchased in the summer or processed pork products does not make the worm-infested pork safe for eating.
Inspection and governmental seals on pork do not remove the danger of the worms yet in the pork to make it safe for you to eat.
Some say never taste raw sausage or any raw pork. It is best not to eat pork, raw, processed, cooked, smoked, cured or seasoned.
You are what you eat, so why not eat the best and be the best. Do not allow this rotten, diseased meat to be sold in your neighborhoods or brought into your homes.
Pork is often referred to as “cured.” The word “cured” is the past tense of the verb “cure.” If a meat has to be cured before we eat it, we should not even take the chance to eat it.
In the Bible and the Holy Qur'an, it is the Divine will of God that the pig should not be eaten and God has never changed this instruction, despite the White man's setting up governmental bureaus to grade and approve the selling of pork.
The so-called Negroes should ban this meat from their communities and all those who sell and eat it!

Divine prohibition against eating, touching carcass of the hog
Divine prohibition against eating, touching carcass of the hog

“Surely Allah is the Knower of the unseen in the heavens and the earth. Surely He is Knower of what is in the hearts. He it is Who made you successors in the earth. So whoever disbelieves, his disbelief is against himself. And their disbelief increases the disbelievers with their Lord in naught but hatred; and their disbelief increases the disbelievers in naught but loss.” –Holy Qur'an, Surah 35, verses 38-39
The Prophet Moses 4,000 years ago, taught the members of the White race not to eat or touch its carcass. In Deuteronomy 14, verse 8, it mentions this Divinely Forbidden flesh (the hog) in these words: “… of the flesh shall you not eat, nor touch their dead carcass.” Ever since the White or Caucasian Race or people have been on our planet numbering one to eleven of the Original or Aboriginal Nation, he has sought to reduce our numbers through very wicked and diabolical schemes which have already ravished and reduced our population worldwide through war and aggression, bloodshed, violence, disease and mischief-making beyond our wildest imagination. Now, today with his end in sight, the medical profession, combined with the pharmaceutical industry in high tech laboratories, are working night and day in producing deadly and poisonous drugs and vaccines to threaten all of us with death and destruction.

After he was made or grafted from the brown germ of the Original Man, he was made weak and wicked and was no longer original. He was furthermore taught an abundance of tricks to master and rule over the Original Nation, attracting them under his power of being unlike the original people to force his rule for a 6,000 year period. Two thousand of those years were lost in the caves and hillsides of Europe where he became a savage, crawling around like the beasts in the caves, having no guidance or Divine Light of civilization until the coming of Moses. He taught them the first rudiments of civilization—how to stand upright and build a home for himself and how to cook their meals with fire instead of eating their meat raw. The Jews were the first to emerge from this state and condition of savagery following Moses and have still (mostly Orthodox Jews) remained faithful to Moses' teachings and dietary instruction, and are very close to the Muslims' dietary laws and principles of living. The main food that was forbidden to them as well as to the Christians and other members of the White race was the prohibition against eating and touching the carcass of the hog which they have broken and ignored. Thus kosher food is good for us and the Honorable Elijah Muhammad ordered his meat from the kosher markets in Chicago's Hyde Park area, and ordered kosher meat when he came to Mexico in 1974.
Only by following the Divine Law can we find favor with Allah. The hog we are taught was not made for human consumption. It was grafted from a cat, a rat and a dog. The hog was made by our scientists to help shortly after the White race was run across the Arabian Desert to the hillsides of Europe to help clean up their environment and is a filthy animal and extremely poisonous. It was made, teaches the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, as a medicine to kill the poisons in our body. In Book II of “How to Eat to Live,” the Honorable Elijah Muhammad writes that the hog is a medicine and not food. “Medical scientists and our own doctors are fast learning, since I have been writing this article on HOW TO EAT TO LIVE and are now cooperating with me and agreeing with me that the hog is a poison that we should not eat, though they may be eating it themselves. But, they have to knowledge the truth. Some of them are intelligent enough now, for the last few years, to start getting away from eating it. Who wants to eat the combination of these fleshes: cat, rat, and dog? This is what the hog is made of—the dog, cat and rat and the Bible teaches you that he is from a mouse. Read Isaiah 66:17, ‘They that sanctify themselves and purify themselves in the garden behind one tree in the midst, eating swine's flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall be consumed together, saith the Lord.'”
Prior to the publication of books I and II of “How to Eat to Live” by the Honorable Elijah Muhammad in the 1960s, in 1956 and 1957, he published some of his first writings on the subject of the hog (pig) in his two volumes entitled, “The Supreme Wisdom.” Quoting from Volume II we read in Chapter 11 under the title: “The Forbidden Food,” the following words: Medical Science on Hog—“The Hog is called Khanzier in the Arabic language, which means: I see (Khan) and very foul (zier). This animal is indeed so foul, ugly and filthy that it is known to the medical profession that eating it decreases the mental power. There is a small opening on the inside of his front leg out of which flows a mass of corruption. The medical science says of this: ‘The opening is an outlet of a sewer.'” (See Monitor of Health, by Dr. J.H. Kellogg, M.D., pages 117-124.)
This current epidemic of the H1N1 Influenza is just one of the experimental biological weapons that are being released by the scientists of the White race to depopulate our numbers. Why Mexico City? It is one, if not the largest populated cities in the world of a mixed Indigenous population. These new viruses being unleashed is not an accident. Be aware of the evil intention of our open enemies in destroying our Original People all over the planet earth. We have begun in this year 2009 the start of the last four years to the New World Order as prophesied in the Mayan Calendar to the year 2012-2013. Our open enemy knowing this, desires to destroy as many of us as he can to prevent us from living an enduring happiness in the life of the hereafter. We will continue this reporting in the next article. We thank the Honorable Elijah Muhammad for his enlightened life-saving teachings from Master Wallace Fard Muhammad, (God in Person).
“Say: Have you seen your associates which you call upon besides Allah? Show me what they have created of the earth! Or have they any share in the heavens? Or, have We given them a Book so that they follow a clear argument thereof? Nay, the wrongdoers hold out promises one to another only to deceive. Surely Allah upholds the heavens and the earth lest they come to naught. And if they come to naught, none can uphold them after Him. Surely He is ever Forbearing, Forgiving.” –Holy Qur'an, Surah 35, verses 40-41

Mother's milk, breast feeding and healthy societies
Mother's milk, breast feeding and healthy societies
By Abdul Alim Muhammad, MD | Last updated: Dec 1, 2009 - 8:35:10 AMWhat's your opinion on this article?

It is not only milk that flows during the feeding of an infant or child at the breast. It is also the culture and wisdom of the society in which the women live that also flows to the young life suckling at her breast.
If she sings lovingly to her baby, or speaks soft words of encouragement and calmness, she is inculcating the values and cultural principles of her society into the baby.
If she recounts the history and legends of her people then she is extending national life, the life of her people and creating one who will pick up the baton and continue the dramatic historical action of her people in their struggle to survive.
If the baby can find sustenance enough to thrive and survive with abundance in the first stages of life at its mother's breast, then that becomes the first chapter of a life that will be characterized by vibrant health, happy optimism, keen intelligence, personal power, psychological security and boundless success.
The enemy of God must discourage and distract the woman from performing her primary duty to her child.
The enemy will engage in lying propaganda that will cause the woman to feel a mixture of shame and disgust at the prospect of being a mother, to make her feel that motherhood is a second or third class activity that should be ranked second or third to career and other pursuits. Feminist views will cause her to seek competitive roles with men, instead of finding the high ground of true feminine power: the creation and nurturing of new human life in the image and likeness of God.
The enemy will construct society in such a way, that the woman will find no place for her maternal instincts and needs. She will find no nursing station in public spaces, or any support for her special maternity needs and post-partum needs as a nursing mother.
In fact, she is liable to be abused both at home and abroad and made to feel that she needs to “get back into the swing of things” as fast as possible. Just like in slavery days, this modern working woman is back on the “plantation” almost immediately, the baby dropped off for care and feeding from strangers, while she focuses her time and attention on more important things.
Often times, even when the mother is willing to breast feed, the ambient stress of modern life is so overwhelming that the delicate bio-feedback mechanisms upon which successful breast feeding depends are disrupted and breast- feeding must be abandoned prematurely. This forces the unnatural and harmful advancement of the baby's diet that sets the stage for all manner of medical and psychological/behavioral problems, such as eczema, asthma, allergies, rickets, weak immunity with frequent colds, fevers and infections, not to mention social maladaptation, insecurity, resentment, hatred and distrust.
The consequent gap that develops between mother and child can never after that be closed and becomes the stark cold alienation so commonly noted in today's society especially among youth. They experience problems in forming and maintaining relationships. Deprived of the primary source of love and affection themselves, they haven't got a clue about how to show it to others. Hence, a life characterized by the wreckage of troubled and disastrous relationships of all sorts including the skyrocketing rate of divorce, the root cause of which seems mysterious and unaccounted for.
There is the pervasive feeling that something is missing, but just what it is, the individual hasn't got a clue. That is because it isn't something that was done to the child, but what never took place that is beyond the knowing of the child.
The child does not realize what should have happened and can only attempt to understand what did occur. This nagging sense of “something wrong” often leads to depression and a sense of despair that can have very evil consequences. Or it can simply lead to a life that seems pointless and going nowhere. The search for the missing essence can lead to alcoholism, drugs and all kinds of unsavory and even anti-social behaviors in vain attempts to compensate. As the song goes, “looking for love in all the wrong places.”
Listed above are pretty much the ills of current society. These ills can be directly traced to the diminution of the role of women as homemakers and mothers who breastfed and raised their own children and forced by exceedingly evil forces to become cogs in the corporate wheels of commerce. The majority of women today have become wage slaves just like the men. In this degraded state things fall apart. The miracle of milk, the milk that flows from the breast of a healthy loving mother is the panacea that can literally save our world.

Vaccination is perhaps the most urgent medical procedure that we must quickly understand, yet it is the one that we take for granted or think very little about. Today, it is extremely evident that vaccinations are now being used to harm the population. The pursuit of profits is also an objective.
Under bogus claims of disease prevention, the CDC is approving more vaccines—beyond the 53 already given to children by the time they turn 6 years old. In some states, laws are being enacted that allow schools to vaccinate children without parental consent, beginning in elementary school. This makes exemptions for vaccinations obsolete.
Unfortunately, most people are unaware of such laws because this is being done secretly. Most parents do not even know if their child have been vaccinated, until the child becomes ill. (See the Special Report: Analysis of “No Parental Consent Required” Vaccination Laws)
With the help of Almighty God, I have written three extremely valuable books about vaccination. Because the vaccination crisis is worsening dramatically, I am making one of these books available FREE, in the form of a PDF eBook. Please tell all your family and friends to download them, especially those who have children (minors). These eBooks contain many navigation links to help you quickly find the information that concerns you most.

Poverty, AIDS and Blacks

New CDC analysis reveals strong link between race, being poor and HIV infection rates
 |
A recently released study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has added further data supporting warnings by Black HIV/AIDS awareness advocates that this is a “Black disease,” tied in part to economic disparity. High-poverty urban conditions increase one's chances of contracting HIV, according to the study.
“The study tells us that when other racial ethnic groups face the same social determinants of health as Blacks—the social and economic conditions within which they live and that impact their well being—their HIV rates rise to similar levels as those of Blacks, even for Whites,” says Phill Wilson, president and CEO of the Black AIDS Institute.
“Our community is still in denial about the impact of AIDS on us. We have a whole new generation that needs to be educated on AIDS so we have to stop avoiding the dialogue,” HIV positive activist Rae Lewis-Thornton of Chicago told The Final Call.
In low income urban areas included in the study, those living below the poverty line were at greater risk for HIV than those living higher incomes. But the statistical landscape of Blacks contracting AIDS is only getting worse, according to national data posted on the CDC's Web site.
While Blacks represent approximately 12 percent of the U.S. population, they account for 46 percent (506,000) of the 1.1 million people living with HIV in the United States, as well as 45 percent (25,335) of the 56,300 new infections every year.
Approximately one in 16 Black men will be diagnosed with HIV, as will one in 30 Black women.
The rate of new HIV infections for Black men is about six times as high as that of White men, nearly three times that of Hispanic men, and more than twice that of Black women.
The HIV incidence rate for Black women is nearly 15 times as high as that of White women, and nearly four times that of Hispanic women.
Twenty-four years ago, Ms. Lewis-Thornton received the news that she was HIV positive and today lives with full blown AIDS.
“I was dying but I had to make a fundamental decision that I could live with this disease. I searched the type technology and medication that I needed. I also developed a support network spiritually and mentally because nobody should have to live with this disease alone. But we can't forget that this is a preventable disease so that is why I am on a crusade to educate the masses,” says Ms. Lewis-Thornton, 48.
The CDC's study, titled “Communities in Crisis: Is There a Generalized HIV Epidemic in Impoverished Urban Areas of the United States,” was unveiled July 19 at the biennial international AIDS Conference in Vienna, Austria. The study was conducted from 2006-2007. Respondents included more than 9,000 adults (aged 18-50) in high-poverty areas of 23 cities such as New York, Houston, Chicago, Detroit and Los Angeles.
By race, 77 percent (7,014) of the participants in the study were Black, 15 percent (1,350) were Hispanic, 4 percent (402) were White and 3 percent (307) were other races. Over 4,600 of those survey earned less than $10,000 in annual household income. According to the CDC, the study shows that poverty is the single most important demographic factor associated with HIV infection among inner city residents.
“In this country, HIV clearly strikes the economically disadvantaged in a devastating way,” says Kevin Fenton of the CDC in a written statement.
“Almost25 percent of Blacks live in poverty, compared to nine percent of Whites. It (the study) also confirms what theBlack AIDS Instituteand many AIDS activists have been saying all along: that a generalized epidemic exists within many Black communities. The HIV rates in U.S. poverty areas rival the rates found in Haiti, Burundi, Ethiopia, and Angola,” says Mr. Wilson, whose Los Angeles-based group has mobilized to confront the epidemic the past 10 years.
“Bottom line is when Whites and Latinos live in poor Black communities they are negatively impacted by the same social determinants that undermine the health of their Black neighbors,” says Mr. Wilson.
“We can't look at HIV in isolation from the environment in which people live. This analysis points to an urgent need to prioritize HIV prevention efforts in disadvantaged communities,” says Dr. Jonathan Mermin, director of CDC's Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention.
On July 13, the Obama Administration released a National HIV/AIDS Strategy Federal Implementation Plan with three primary goals of reducing HIV infections; increasing access to care; and reducing HIV-related health disparities.
Ms. Lewis-Thornton has been consistently touring the country to share her up and down personal bout with AIDS. She recently implemented social media platforms to engage uninformed people via blogging, Twitter, and Facebook.
“I am a statistic and I want to reach people to let them know they can become one also if they do not take care of their lives,” she says.

AIDS crisis plagues Blacks, gov’t aid missing
AIDS crisis plagues Blacks, gov’t aid missing

WASHINGTON (FinalCall.com) - When AIDS first hit America in the ’80s as a White, gay disease, there was a massive media campaign to educate and prevent future transmissions.
 Graphic: MGN Online/Timothy 6X |
Now that it’s a Black disease, with this community leading in new infections, the Black AIDS Institute believes Blacks have been almost abandoned.
In “Left Behind: Black America: a Neglected Priority in the Global AIDS Epidemic,” Jesse Milan, Jr., Black AIDS Institute board chair, writes, “In this report, we point out that Black America is lacking a partner in the federal government when it comes to fighting AIDS, and in many ways has been left behind by most foundations and almost all global health agencies.”
“The point of this report, rather, is that the same zeal, wisdom and courage our government is now showing on global issues must be brought to bear in the fight against AIDS at home,” said Mr. Milan.
The report concludes America is “failing to respond effectively to the AIDS crisis in Black America.”
Dr. Helene D. Gayle, president and chief executive officer of CARE, agrees.
“Essential AIDS programs on which Black Americans rely have barely grown in recent years—in some cases, failing to keep pace with inflation. The country’s failure is especially striking when it comes to programs to prevent new HIV infections, which account for only 4¢ of every dollar the U.S. government spends on the domestic AIDS epidemic,” she writes in the report.
“And as the threat posed by the epidemic grows ever more acute in Black communities across the country, overburdened community agencies are struggling to do more with fewer and fewer resources.”
Phil Wilson, executive director of the Black AIDS Institute, also believes the government should do more. “Forty percent of new cases among men are among Blacks, as are 60 percent of new cases among women and 70 percent of new cases among teens. In some Black neighborhoods the incidence of HIV infection is equivalent to nations in sub-Saharan Africa,” he noted.
“The epidemic is so bad that the U.S. of Black America would qualify for the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), the aid the U.S. government offers to countries with the worst AIDS epidemics.” The report was released July 29.
HIV infection rate underestimated
The problem of HIV infections in America is also larger than previously thought. The Centers for Disease Control announced Aug. 3 at the XVII International AIDS Conference in Mexico that previous estimates were off by thousands of cases. It estimated some 56,300 current cases of HIV infection.
“That’s still just an estimate and it’s low. The real numbers aren’t known because not enough people are getting tested. There has to be extensive testing in the Black community. Everyone needs to get tested. It doesn’t matter if you are gay, straight, married or single,” Dr. Jewel Crawford, professor at Morehouse Medical School, told The Final Call.
“These numbers are only guesses. It could be much more than that. The focus has to be on testing. In countries like Cuba where everyone is tested, they have more accurate numbers. We have 50 million people without health care. They’re not getting tested. Most of those are our people. The real numbers aren’t known.”
With more testing, people will know their status and many will change their behavior, said Dr. Crawford. Testing allows those who are HIV positive to get treatment sooner, while those who are HIV negative can be made aware of how to prevent contracting the infection.
The CDC said the undercount came to light with the use of a more precise method for estimating annual HIV incidence based on the number of individuals who become newly infected with HIV in a given year.
The increase wasn’t news to Mr. Wilson. “On the one hand, these higher figures make me feel vindicated. For years, the Black AIDS Institute and other AIDS advocacy organizations have been telling the CDC that their figures were too low, as they insisted they were right,” he said.
“We knew they were wrong because we’re the ones on the ground in the Black community. We’re the ones getting the phone calls from Black young people who have just learned that they’re positive and now realize that they didn’t really believe that they were at risk or that their lives were worth protecting,” Mr. Wilson added, in a prepared statement.
“We’re the ones who listen to Black people admit that they are more afraid of the stigma they’ll face than they are of the disease. After receiving these and other phone calls, we knew that the epidemic was worse in our community than the official numbers were saying,” he said.
The new estimate comes from the first national surveillance system based on direct measurement of new HIV infections and builds on a new laboratory test that can distinguish recent from long-standing HIV infections.
The CDC also suggests the number of new infections was likely never as low as the previous estimate of 40,000 and has been roughly stable overall since the late 1990s.
“Its important to note that the new estimate does not represent an actual increase in the number of new infections, but reflects our ability to more precisely measure HIV incidence and secure a better understanding of the epidemic,” said Dr. Kevin Fenton, director of the CDC’s National Center for HIV/AIDS.
“This new picture reveals that the HIV epidemic is—and has been—worse than previously known and underscores the challenges in confronting this disease.”
Lifestyles, race still impact infection rates
The CDC report confirmed HIV’s greatest impact remains on gay and bisexual men of all races and among Black men and women.
In 2006, men who had sex with men accounted for 53 percent of those with new infections, heterosexuals accounted for 31 percent, and injection drug users accounted for 12 percent of new infections.
Infection rates among Blacks were seven times as high as Whites and almost three times as high as Hispanics, a group also disproportionately affected.
“The CDC’s announcement underscores the allegations we made in our report, ‘Left Behind,’ in which we examine what the AIDS epidemic would look like and how the U.S. government would respond if Black America were its own country,” said Mr. Wilson.
“The United States of Black America would rank 9th on the U.S. government’s list of the 15 countries with the worst AIDS epidemics in the world. While our government’s AIDS policy focuses upon those nations abroad, the epidemic at home continues unabated.”
The importance of prevention
“Prevention can and does work when we apply what we know,” said Richard Wolitski, Ph.D., acting director of CDCs Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention. “While the level of HIV incidence is alarming, stability in recent years suggests that prevention efforts are having an impact.
“In this decade, more people are living with HIV and living longer than ever before due to advances in treatment.Even though this could mean more opportunities for transmission, the number of new infections has not increased overall. ”
The Black AIDS Institute recommendations for combating the AIDS crisis include:
• Invest at least $1.3 billion per year, as identified by Federal AIDS Policy Partnership, to implement a comprehensive national prevention strategy.
• Support efforts such as “Test 1 Million,” a national campaign to raise awareness about the importance of HIV screening and utilization of treatment by providing voluntary testing and counseling to one million people at elevated risk for infection who do not know their HIV status.
“AIDS is not just a health issue. It is a human rights issue. It is an urban renewal issue. It is an economic justice issue. The fight against HIV and AIDS is actually a broader fight against an environment in which poverty; homelessness, unemployment, incarceration, marginalization, homophobia and violence exacerbate the risk Black people face daily, including their risk for HIV and AIDS,” argued authors of the Black AIDS Institute report.

Lengthen your life
Lengthen your life
By the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad | Last updated: Jul 15, 2010 - 4:12:51 PMWhat's your opinion on this article?
 Thousands of minor ailments disappear from us by eating the proper food and at the proper time, one meal a day. He (Allah) teaches us never to eat unless we are hungry. Eating when we are not hungry causes these minor ailments. We are forcing the body to digest food before it is calling for this food. |
THERE IS NOT a shadow of a doubt that He (Allah) has taken the proper steps to give us more life in order to have and enjoy the pleasures of life. He (Allah) said what we eat keeps us here, and the same will take us away. Suppose we ate one-half pound of food a day. At the end of 365 days, we would have eaten 182 1/2 pounds of food per year.
BUT WE EAT more than this amount. For instance, if we live 50 years, we would eat 50 times this much food, at a half pound of food a day. If we saw 9,000 pounds of raw food piled up before us to consume, we would think that this would be a lot of food to go through our bodies. And we would think that it probably would wear us out to eat that much food in our life time, although we eat tons of food in our life time.
AND IF THIS food is not the proper food to eat, it will wear away our body and cut short three score and 10 years of our lives. On the average, our people are living around 62 years. This is a very short life to live on an earth that has been here trillions of years. And yet, the average of us cannot live 100 years under the present system of civilization of wickedness. Master Fard Muhammad, to Whom Praises are due forever, comes to prolong our lives, not to shorten them, by correcting our eating habits to one meal a day instead of three, and by teaching us to eat the proper foods that will not destroy us or shorten our lives to less than 100 years.
His (Allah's) teaching us to eat better food and to cut our eating from three and four times a day to once a day will certainly prolong our lives and increase our beautiful appearance.
A PERSON WHO eats like an animal, three or four times a day and all between meals, cannot retain a beautiful appearance. Eating three times a day and all between meals removes the body's attractiveness in many ways. We eat meat, but yet meat is not good for us.
It becomes a habitual tool. This type of food poisons the blood and goes into the flesh and cannot help but transform and destroy the surface of the flesh.
TAKE, FOR example, a new born baby. Many times its beauty lasts for just a short while and then passes away with its growth. Even in our late twenties and early thirties—because of the life that we live and the frequent eating of poison food—our beautiful appearance begins to pass from us so rapidly, until by our forties and fifties it is nearly completely gone.
Let us eat one meal a day and try getting the best food that we can to eat—vegetables, fruits, pure fresh milk, and pure whole wheat bread, that has been cooked slowly, twice. Doing this will help us live longer and retain our beautiful appearance much longer.
DO NOT GET into the habit (or if you are already in the habit, stop it) of eating a lot of greasy food. Regardless of whether the grease is from animal flesh or not, our bodies, by nature, are not made to digest and control grease or lots of fat. Thousands of minor ailments disappear from us by eating the proper food and at the proper time, one meal a day. He (Allah) teaches us never to eat unless we are hungry. Eating when we are not hungry causes these minor ailments. We are forcing the body to digest food before it is calling for this food.
TAKE THE hog and the dog—they do not live very long, because they eat daily and nightly.
The present civilization is an enemy to righteousness. Since they were put over us to rule us they had to find a different way of ruling us other than the good old way of our fathers, who lived several hundreds of years, some nearly a thousand years.
IF WE MET a man today who said he had been on the planet 500 years, we would think that he was lying because of our short lives of less than 100 years, leads us to believe that it is false to think that people can live several hundred years.
It is all in the food and drink that we put into our bodies that lengthens or shortens our lives. Stay away from poison food and drinks—and eat to live.

The Safest Way to Eat
The Safest Way to Eat

We eat too much and too often, and we eat the wrong food (poisonous foods). Most of our drinks are poisonous.
Allah has blessed America with the best of foods and with good water that is plentiful. America has been blessed with everything that she could desire, but after all of these blessings, she is ungrateful and turns good things into bad, and wages a war against the God of good and His people.
After telling the slaves they were free, America kept them here in order to prey upon them. Now today, many of the slaves wish to be free of America, but her reply by her actions to our wanting to be free is “no.” And America continues to give the so-called Negroes the same bad food and drink that her (America's) fathers did in the days of slavery.
America's markets are loaded with swine, and loaded with vegetables and fruits which are preserved and made to look beautiful by having poisonous chemicals poured upon them. There are thousands, and hundreds of thousands of herds of cattle and sheep and there are hundreds of thousands of fowls. Yet, Americans decorate their tables with the divinely-prohibited flesh—the swine—and represent themselves as being the true Christian followers of Jesus.
Americans have poisonous whiskey and wine by the barrels and vats all over the country, yet when this does not make them intoxicated (drunk) and crazy enough, they resort to drugs (the poisonous weeds).
Allah has blessed them wih so much bread that they set whole fields of good wheat on fire. They burn up the wheat in order to obtain higher prices for it. They are crazy over money and wealth.
Now today, Allah threatens America with all kinds of plagues—not one kind, but many kinds. Allah withholds the rains from her wheat fields; sends terrific cold and snow upon her fertile bread basket areas; kills her cattle, livestock and fowls; and kills her fish that are inland in ponds and rivers, with droughts.
All of these plagues are falling upon America because she is against God's giving freedom, justice, and equality to the so-called Negroes, whose labor she has had for 400 years. Because of America's having broken the Divine Law, which prohibits eating swine flesh, and because of her having fed this forbidden meat to her slaves and to other nations of the earth, Allah (God) is now taking His blessings away from her.

How to keep food from hurting us
How to keep food from hurting us

 'Eating three and four times a day is to your stomach as dripping water is to a stone or iron. The dripping water will eventually wear the stone and iron away. But, just to look at the water, it does not appear powerful enough in its dripping to wear the stone and iron away. It is the same with food.' |
Many years could be added to our lives if we only knew how to protect our lives from their enemies. As He (meaning Master Fard Muhammad) said to me, food keeps us here; it is essential that we eat food which gives and maintains life. That same food destroys life. Therefore, to keep this food from destroying our lives, we must protect our lives as well as we possibly can from the destruction of food. If we eat the proper food and eat at the proper time, the food will keep us living a long, long time.
Eating three and four times a day is to your stomach as dripping water is to a stone or iron. The dripping water will eventually wear the stone and iron away. But, just to look at the water, it does not appear powerful enough in its dripping to wear the stone and iron away. It is the same with food; we continuously put it into our stomachs to be digested and eventually it will destroy the stomach. If we let our stomachs rest a while and gain strength, they will last longer in doing a job of digesting food for us.
Eat one meal a day and eat the food that will not harm you so quickly. You do not have to obtain a long, detailed knowledge of what foods you have to eat, because the wrong food has already been pointed out to you—foods such as the pig, nuts, white flour, meats (of course, we eat some meats), the wrong kinds of peas, the wrong kinds of breads too many starchy foods, and too many sweets.
All of these foods destroy us. Bread should be cooked thoroughly and slowly, and if you have plenty of time, cook the bread two or three times and then eat it. Meat should also be cooked two or three times.
Eating great meals of highly seasoned and sugared pastries is definitely not good for us. They most surely will take years of our lives away. You may eat some sweets, but do not make an entire meal of sweets or eat them every day. Fruit is good for us; we should eat plenty of fruit.
To live a long time, eat once every 24 hours or once every 48 hours, if you are able to do so. But, if you have heavy, manual work to do, do not try to eat once every two or three days. And, if you eat once a day, you should fast every month for two or three days. By doing that, there will be no poison left in the body at the end of a year to make you sick even one hour.
... I repeatedly teach that the way Allah, in the Person of Master Fard Muhammad, has taught us to eat will do away with many doctor bills and do away with much maiming of the limbs caused by certain diseases.
Sugar diabetes can be controlled and cured if you only eat correctly. Stay off sugar and starchy foods and leave those old, white potatoes alone. Do not eat spaghetti and macaroni at every meal. If you are over-weight, do not eat it at any meal, and if you want to live a long time, do not eat it at any meal. Foods such as spaghetti and macaroni are processed, not cooked thoroughly, and are hard to digest.
There are some people who claim that they do not receive beneficial results as they should. This is due to wrong mental food that they are eating, which has an effect on their digestive system. To get good results from eating the proper foods, we much have good thoughts.

Psychiatry: An Industry of Death
Psychiatry: An Industry of Death

Members of the Citizens Commission on Human Rights partnered with the Nation of Islam conducting several workshops, delivering presentations and distributing large amounts of research materials in the form of pamphlets and DVDs exposing what they consider to be a “fraudulent” field of psychiatry and a dangerously out of control reliance on prescription drugs.
“As far as I'm concerned, psychiatry is one of the biggest frauds ever to be perpetuated on mankind,” said Cheryl Duncan, spokesperson for the Citizens Commission on Human Rights. “It is nothing but a public relations machine that has no results. They freely admit they don't cure anybody. Ask a psychiatrist. We have asked psychiatrists and they will tell you there is no such thing as a cure. They are trying to help people cope. It's a billion dollar industry not only for the psychiatrists but the pharmaceutical companies are making billions upon billions of dollars.”

“It has now become cool to have a disorder,” said Ms. Duncan.
Student Minister Tony Muhammad, Western Regional representative of the Nation of Islam was with the Hon. Minister Louis Farrakhan as he walked through the CCHR's exhibit about a month ago during a trip to the West Coast. Mr. Muhammad said Min. Farrakhan was deeply moved and angered by what he saw regarding the historical use of medical terminology as cover for human experimentation, and the degree to which manipulative scientists of death have victimized society's most vulnerable people. Mr. Muhammad said the Minister told him that he wanted the members of the Nation of Islam to see the exhibit and made it a part of Saviours' Day 2010.
“When the Minister went through and saw the evolution of psychiatry, and then he saw how they are using the law, and how they are using almost every human emotion and making it into a disease, The Minister said ‘I pray to my Allah that He blesses me to destroy all of them because these people are impacting not just Black people but all of human kind.' He said, ‘Brother I am a universal leader and we are to become a universal Nation wherein all can live in peace.'”
Thousands of conventioneers walked through exhibitions demonstrating how American society has become “drugged-up.” In many cases, those being diagnosed with mental disorders are as young as six years old. Additionally, many of the mood stabilizers, psycho stimulants, anti-anxiety and anti-psychotic drugs have an extensive list of dangerous side effects. In some cases, the drugs have the effect of intensifying the symptoms of the “disorder” they are purportedly developed to effectively treat.
In a letter from CCHR President Jan Eastgate which accompanied one of the DVDs given away titled, “Psychiatry: An Industry of Death,” she described psychologists as going after the “quick chemical fix” offering psychotropic drugs as a “cure all.”
Another informative DVD also given away by the hundreds during the Saviours' Day weekend titled “Marketing Madness” asked the provocative question: “How did drugs with no known curative powers and extensive side effects become standard treatment for almost everything?”
According to the CCHR, the culprit is the influential American Psychiatric Association (APA) and their Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). Following WWII, the first DSM was released in 1952 listing 106 mental disorders and was 160 pages long. Since then, the number of listed mental disorders has almost tripled with the most recent version, DSM IV containing 886 pages.
A statement appearing Feb. 28 on the APA's website said the revised version of the DSM, originally scheduled for release in 2012, will likely not be released until 2013.
Referring to the next DSM, Mr. Muhammad said he expects it to contain even more mental disorders that are culturally biased.
“Your discipline can be diagnosed as a disease,” said Mr. Muhammad, referring directly to the members of the Nation of Islam in the audience. “They will come up and watch our discipline and call that a disorder and through the government they will make laws forcing us to take medicine even against your will! That is coming,” Mr. Muhammad added.
Ms. Duncan said Black boys are eleven times more likely than others to be diagnosed as learning disabled and/or placed on psychotropic drugs.
Calling it “licensed genocide,” Rev. Alfreddie Johnson of The True Faith Christian Church and founder of the World Literacy Crusade said he has listened to and admired Min. Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam for over eighteen years. He said it is important for the Nation of Islam to be on the forefront in providing this type of information to the people because of their credibility within Black communities nationwide.
“The Nation of Islam has ethics and a presence in the community,” said Rev. Johnson.
