Hallo, vibrant viewers, and welcome to another informative edition of Healthy Living featuring the first of a two-part interview with breatharian personal fitness trainer Jericho Sunfire on how a raw vegan or fruitarian diet conditions our body for peak athletic performance.

After years of being a fruitarian, or one who only eats fruits, nuts and seeds and then a liquidarian, or a consumer of only liquids or juices, Jericho, a former player for the Oldham Rugby League Football Club and London Crusaders in the UK made the transition to breatharianism, where one lives solely on the cosmic energy.

As a breatharian, my personal belief is that your body creates the energy. And I believe if that you have that belief system, then your body will adapt, your body will create what you need in order for you to do the work you’ve got to do.

Jericho strives to raise public awareness of the powerful and sustainable foodless, or inediate, lifestyle and of diets that respect all living beings. As a personal fitness trainer, he goes to great lengths to dispel the myth that consuming animal products is needed for top level athletic performance

You being a breatharian, why do you want to show people how to go fruitarian?

Because I’ve been through all the myths. I can understand what aspiring fruitarians, aspiring raw vegans, go through. I know the obstacles they face; I know how to overcome them. So for me it’s a part of giving something back.

Raw veganism is an exceptionally healthy way of eating. Such a diet consists of unprocessed, plant-based foods, often organically grown, and excludes all animal-derived products. Raw vegans avoid heating food above 46 degrees Celsius, because they wish to retain its enzymes and thus obtain maximum nutritional benefit.

If you really are serious about making a change to your health and living an optimal life of fitness and longevity, go fruitarian or go vegan, at least 80, 70%, fruitarian or raw vegan.

What effects do cooked foods actually have on the system, on the body?

It dehydrates your body. It drains your resources. They say it takes 90% of your body’s energy to digest food that you put in your mouth. It drains the nutrients in your bones. Your body will use anything it can from anywhere in your body to do something with what you put in your body, and probably the reason why you are putting it in your mouth in the first place is due to taste, not because it’s nutrition.

Your body doesn’t know anything about nutrition in a pizza, in ice cream. All your brain knows now is taste: “This tastes good, I want it again.” There are plenty of studies, evidence that a lot of the processed fast foods and stuff like that have the same addictive effect as hard drugs.

When you eat cooked, processed foods, the body sends out its army, its immune system, the white blood cells to combat it, to fight it. So that should tell you something right there. It doesn’t do it with raw foods, but with cooked processed foods, especially your flours, your pastas, your dairy products and stuff like that and your really processed fried foods, and meats. It’s incredible; your body knows to do this because it knows it’s wrong. It knows it’s in danger. It knows it’s a poison to the body.

The majority of natural foods such as fruit and vegetables are alkaline, while most processed foodstuffs are acidic. Meat and dairy products are highly acid-forming foods that deplete the immune system and cause cancer and other diseases.

Globally, millions of people die each year from the accumulated effects of eating diets high in animal protein. The liver, pancreas, kidneys and intestines are destroyed when protein consumption is too great. In fact, the number one cause of death in the USA, heart disease, is deeply connected to a diet of meat, dairy and eggs.

It’s the acidity and some people would say it’s the karma, the spiritual aspect. If you are going to put an animal down or if you are going to slit an animal’s throat in order to eat it, there’s stress involved. And animals know and you create the fear, the adrenalin, the stress in the animal and then you go and eat the animal. You’re eating that stress and that fear.

Are all fruits created equal with the same amount of life energy within them? Jericho provides his perspective.

They are stored in freezers, they’re transported in trucks in boxes for long periods of time, long journeys, maybe to other countries, depends on when they were picked, how they were grown, how they were watered all that sort of stuff.

The best way to get your fruits really and truly is to grow them yourself, organic, eat local seasonal, what’s in your local area. Support your organic farmers, support your local famers. Because… the fruits you get from the store, they will still be of benefit to you, simply because they are not cooked or processed, so either way they are going to be of benefit, but to get optimum benefit, grow your own.

When we come back, Jericho Sunfire will share more helpful information about the raw vegan and fruitarian lifestyles. Please stay tuned to Supreme Master Television.

Once we get off that cooked food system, once you keep seeing yourself as you truly are, then your vision of what is true gets clearer.

Welcome back to today’s Healthy Living featuring Jericho Sunfire, a breatharian personal fitness trainer, who is speaking about how practicing raw veganism or fruitarianism creates life-long vitality and is perfect for athletes. What are some of the challenges that an aspiring fruitarian athlete might expect to undergo?

Would they initially see some weight loss and muscle loss when they go on fruitarian diet?

It’s part of the process, because the body, when the body’s cleansing, it doesn’t know anything about competitions, it doesn’t know anything about being an athlete, it doesn’t know anything about winning races, or lifting the heaviest. When it’s in cleansing mode, it’s going to cleanse.

When you go fruitarian, the initial stages of detox, your body is going to want to get rid of excess water, fats, and you’re not basically losing muscle per se, but you’re losing the water that you retain to neutralize the acid that is a result of eating cooked foods. Because when we cook foods, the waste becomes acidic. So the body retains more water.

That’s why bodybuilders, they eat all the junk, all the meat, they get toxic, so they drink more water. Have you heard the expression of bodybuilders “looking swole.” Well that’s what happens, they inflame.

So once athletes stop ingesting what’s making them toxic in the first place, there’s no need to retain the water, so that’s what they lose, the appearance of weight. They’re not actually losing muscle, because once they lose the appearance of weight, all the water and excess fat, they’ll actually realize what they had wasn’t really muscle in the first place.

And what fruits would you recommend people to put on weight, and gain weight?

Well, in my experience, there are no fruits, unless you’re going to abuse yourself, overeat drastically on fruits, on fats, on raw gourmet foods, to poorly combined foods, that’s another trick that some people use to, to combat the whole weight loss thing. Because unfortunately some people are still of the mindset that they still need to look buff, they still need to look masculine, athletic.

It’s a very hard thing when you go fruitarian, whether you are an athlete or not, to deal with the whole weight loss, because image wise, our whole self esteem is based on our image. So as a former rugby league player myself I was pretty masculine, and I went through the same thing. People that knew me before would comment on how much weight I’ve lost, and I need to get some real food down my neck.

So it’s a hard thing to deal with but it’s a process that if you have dedication and commitment, and if you have maybe a mentor that’s experienced enough to guide you through, you will make it.

And will their weights stabilize as they go on with the fruitarian diet?

Most definitely. It’s a slow process, but the cleaner you get, the more you stabilize for sure.

And what fruits would you say would be good for building muscles?

There are no fruits for building muscle. I don’t believe in building muscle, it is one of the things that, that set me apart from other personal trainers. Because I believe you tone muscle. With my experience I’ve learned that. Most of what people have is excess fat, water and inflammation. And once all that goes, people will realize that you know what? It wasn’t really muscle, you were just well toned. (Yes.)

And can they still train while they’re detoxing?

Depends on the particular person’s history, the particular person’s attitude, mental fitness, and commitment.

So the body has less to actually work on to detox on the fruitarian diet, is that true?

It varies from person to person, depending on their past history and eating habits. Medical history, too, especially for those that have been on medication in their past, have been alcoholics, drug abusers, they are likely to have a very intense time.

In the initial stages, your flood gates will open and the body will want to get rid of everything at once. So that’s where cleansing comes in, to open up your channels of elimination to help you with the purging process. Because you need to get all the toxins out, all the acidity out.

Once they’re on the fruitarian diet, will they see an improvement in energy and stamina in performance?

Oh, it will be outstanding, tremendous, tremendous.

Once you’ve been through your initial detox, you can turn up the intensity, and you will find that your endurance improves leaps and bounds. If you are a strength-and- conditioning person, you will find that you are stronger, you’re sharper, you’re clearer.

Our appreciation Jericho Sunfire for sharing what you’ve learned from your years on the fruitarian path and informing us how raw veganism and fruitarianism prepare our body for top-level physical conditioning.

Hallo, joyful viewers, and welcome to Healthy Living featuring the conclusion of a two-part interview with breatharian personal fitness trainer Jericho Sunfire on how a raw vegan or fruitarian diet conditions our body for peak athletic performance.

After years of being a fruitarian, or one who only eats fruits, nuts and seeds and then a liquidarian, or a consumer of only liquids or juices, Jericho, a former player for the Oldham Rugby League Football Club and London Crusaders in the UK made the transition to breatharianism, where one lives solely on the cosmic energy.

I am 40 now and yes, I feel like I am a 19 year old again. It is a fantastic feeling. I can still sprint as fast as I want to; I can still lift myself up, throw myself around a park. In fact, I can do more than I was doing when I was on cooked food.

Jericho strives to raise public awareness of the powerful and sustainable foodless, or inediate, lifestyle and of diets that respect all living beings. As a personal fitness trainer, he goes to great lengths to dispel the myth that consuming animal products is needed for top level athletic performance

When you eat cooked, processed foods, the body sends out its army, its immune system, the white blood cells to combat it, to fight it. So that should tell you something right there. It doesn’t do it with raw foods, but with cooked processed foods, especially your flours, your pastas, your dairy products and stuff like that and your really processed fried foods, and meats. It’s incredible; your body knows to do this because it knows it’s wrong. It knows it’s in danger. It knows it’s a poison to the body.

According to the US Department of Agriculture, 70% of all food poisoning in the USA is caused by consuming contaminated animal flesh. Studies show that meat, fish and dairy products are loaded with bacteria, antibiotics, dioxins, hormones and a host of other toxins that can lead to fatal health conditions.

I remember when I was on meat and I was playing rugby and I was into the whole “eat big to get big.” I was conditioned. I was brainwashed. Then when I came off it, when I stopped playing rugby and I came off meat, one of the other reasons for weight loss or the appearance of weight loss is that I was no longer consuming meats with steroids in it, with growth hormones in it.

It is incredible what is in meat, in order for you to buy it, in order for it to look good. They put deodorant on meat to stop it from stinking, when it’s on the shelves in the stores so you don’t smell it.

Bodybuilders they know this, the whole growth hormone thing, the whole steroids thing. Chances are if you’re an athlete and you’re eating meat you are on steroids.

And are you more susceptible to injuries on the normal Western diet than you are on a fruitarian diet?

I am more susceptible to pain and injuries and old injuries. Now all those have gone. I haven’t been injured in years. I always say when you eat cooked food, you eat pain. (Yeah.) It is solid pain, or liquid pain. If you are into the whole fizzy drinks and sodas and stuff like that, milk, dairy products, it is liquid pain.

Go raw fruitarian, period. It’s good for the planet. It’s good for the climate at this time. And it’s good for your soul. It’s good for your health, period.

Besides adopting a healthy diet, what else can we do to increase our vitality, health and fitness?

Do something you love to do. Do something you thoroughly enjoy. It could be gardening. If it is gardening, garden vigorously. You can get a great full body workout simply digging a ditch. Walk if you love walking, walk vigorously. It doesn’t have to be bodybuilding or training like a sprinter or anything like that.

Walking, one of the most natural and lowest- impact forms of exercise, helps strengthen bones and improve blood circulation, and is beneficial to people of all ages and physical conditions. It also boosts the spirit, aids in relaxation and gives one a deep sense of refreshment and happiness.

If you are not competitive athletes it’s good enough just to go for a brisk walk, an intense walk. You don’t need a gym. You don’t need money. You don’t need expensive equipment. All you need, basically, is the desire to be at your best, the desire to get active and enjoy life and live it to the fullest because you know you don’t see elephants in the wild doing bench presses.

They don’t need to because they’re active. They’re walking from place to place; from home to home; from shelter to shelter. Whereas us, we have cars, we invented cars, so we don’t have to be active. And unfortunately our society has abused that and like I say for the average person, just to get out and walk vigorously is enough.

For those who desire a more advanced form of training, Jericho has designed a series of short, effective exercises.

I have created a program for working out that takes five minutes, and it’s for people that are serious about their training. And it’s for people that are competitive athletes, yet want to get the best out of their performance, and get the best out their health, that want to go basically raw vegan, predominately raw vegan or fruitarian.

Are you ready? After these messages Jericho will present his five-minute, full body workout. Please stay tuned to Supreme Master Television.

Welcome back to today’s Healthy Living featuring Jericho Sunfire, a breatharian personal fitness trainer, who is speaking with us about the best nutrition for our body and getting in shape. Jericho will now show us how to perform a simple, effective, full body workout anywhere, anytime, free-of-charge in just five minutes! The exercise works on three main parts of the body; namely, the upper body, core and lower body.

In maybe five minutes or less, you could work out your whole body, you could maintain it, there’d be no burnout. It’s very intense and it’s one of those things where you do it right once and that’s it. The faster you’re in, the faster you’re out. You don’t need a gym. You don’t need equipment. You don’t need money. All you just need are your body weight and determination. That’s pretty much all it boils down to.

Like I say, you do the things you love, you love what you do and you do what you love. And basically you’re using your surroundings, you’re using what surrounds you. This is something you can do anytime, anyplace, anywhere, you know. If you don’t do it, you’ll have to pretty much find a pretty good excuse.

How many days a week would you recommend someone to do this five minutes to keep up a good level of fitness and physique?

It’s only five minutes. It’s short and sharp so there will be no burnout and you can do it every day, seven days a week if you like.

What we’re going to do first is to get in tune with the universe, all right, because the universe knows what you need. And so we take one minute to get focused, to get the job done, all right. (Okay.) I want you to focus on working the hardest you’ve ever worked before. Nothing is an obstacle. Nothing is a challenge, all right.

All right

How many exercises?

Three. (Okay, three.) When you do each exercise (Yeah.) you count nice and loud. for me, okay? And the last thing pretty much is when you feel like stopping, don’t. (Okay.)

All right, just don’t do it. Don’t even think about it. Let me and the universe work on that. We’re going to start with push-ups, and like I say, when you feel like stopping, don’t. All right. To prove to you that you can do it in less than five minutes, a full body workout, intense, in less than five minutes, I’ll time you. All right. On my go, ready, steady, go!

The more you exercise, the sooner you will realize just how much it benefits and rejuvenates you physically, mentally and spiritually! Just like exercising, being raw vegan or fruitarian is something that’s great to share with friends: exciting, uplifting and ultimately enormously rewarding, promoting extraordinary well-being on all levels and in all aspects of life!
