Fruits, Vegetables, and your Body
You are what you eat, so eat well. A stupendous insight of civilizations past has now been confirmed by today's investigative, nutritional sciences. They have shown that what was once called 'The Doctrine of Signatures' was astoundingly correct. It now contends that every whole food has a pattern that resembles a body organ or physiological function and that this pattern acts as a signal or sign as to the benefit the food provides the eater. Here is just a short list of examples of Whole Food Signatures.

A sliced Carrot looks like the human eye. The pupil, iris and radiating lines look just like the human eye...and science shows that carrots greatly enhance blood flow to and function of the eyes

A Tomato has four chambers and is red. The heart is red and has four chambers. All of the research shows tomatoes are indeed pure heart and blood food.

Grapes hang in a cluster that has the shape of t he heart. Each grape looks like a blood cell and all of the research today shows that grapes are also profound heart and blood vitalizing food.

A Walnut looks like a little brain, a left and right hemisphere, upper cerebrums and lower cerebellums. Even the wrinkles or folds are on the nut just like the neo-cortex. We now know that walnuts help develop over 3 dozen neuron-transmitters for brain function.

Kidney Beans actually heal and help maintain kidney function and yes, they look exactly like the human kidneys.

Celery, Bok Choy, Rhubarb and more look just like bones. These foods specifically target bone strength. Bones are 23% sodium and these foods are 23% sodium. If you don't have enough sodium in your diet the body pulls it from the bones, making them weak. These foods replenish the skeletal needs of the body.

Eggplant, Avocados and Pears target the health and function of the womb and cervix of the female - they look just like these organs. Today's research shows that when a woman eats 1 avocado a week, it balances hormones, sheds unwanted birth weight and prevents cervical cancers. And how profound is this? .... It takes exactly 9 months to grow an avocado from blossom to ripened fruit. There are over 14,000 photolytic chemical constituents of nutrition in each one of these foods (modern science has only studied and named about 141 of them).

Figs are full of seeds and hang in twos when they grow. Figs increase the motility of male sperm and increase the numbers of sperm as well to overcome male sterility.

Sweet Potatoes look like the pancreas and actually balance the glycemic index of diabetics.

Olives assist the health and function of the ovaries.

Grapefruits, Oranges, and other citrus fruits look just like the mammary glands of the female and actually assist the health of the breasts and the movement of lymph in and out of the breasts.

Onions look like body cells. Today's research shows that onions help clear waste materials from all of the body cells They even produce tears which wash the epithelial layers of the eyes.


The news isn't that fruits and vegetables are good for you, it's that they are so good for you, they can save your life.' David Bjerklie, TIME Magazine, Oct. 2003

1. My winter breakfast - not sure which body organs this represents
Edited on Sun Jan-27-08 12:32 AM by Dover
I eat alot of hot cereals in the winter but this is my all time favorite, healthy breakfast.
This represents a LOT of body organs! I'll see them differently now.
Which body part do you think fennel represents? It's similar to an onion or leek.

Winter root veggie omelet

Roast in the oven (350 degrees for 20 minutes) - toss them together in a little olive oil before roasting.

1 fennel - bulbs sliced in half
1 peeled sweet potato (large) cut into 1" pieces
1 full garlic bulb with individual cloves peeled (or roast it inside the skin and remove cloves later)
1 turnip peeled, chopped
6 small pearl onions (or use a regular sliced onion or leeks)
4 red chili peppers (size of jalapeno each) sliced long ways with seeds removed.
1/2 red bell pepper sliced.
lemon zest from one lemon

After roasting and cooled to room temp, toss the veggies in an olive oil/balsamic vinegar dressing and add salt and pepper. Or you can just use the olive oil and skip the balsamic.

Then add this to your omelets with some goat cheese chunks added in at the last minute and just slightly melted.

To LIVE for!!!
And it makes your house smell like heaven.
This lasts about a week in the frig.

Serve with a V-8 juice or herbal tea.


Also these veggies are great tossed in a salad with arugula leaves. A hearty salad for the winter months.

3. Dover, you always have the most interesting posts
I've always believed everything we need to heal the body is in the earth--this proves it! Thanks for the post.

14. That sounds yummy
and like one of those foods that makes you feel healthy after eating.
I'll have to try this.

Fennel may be related to cells, as the onion. I wonder if plants with the fluffy greenery, asparagus is another, are beneficial for a full healthy head of hair.

Here's a partial quote from
http://www.botanical.com/botanical/mgmh/f/fennel01.html >

The roots are of most use in physic, drinks and broths, that are taken to cleanse the blood, to open obstructions of the liver, to provoke urine, and amend the ill colour of the face after sickness, and to cause a good habit through the body; both leaves, seeds, and roots thereof, are much used in drink, or broth, to make people more lean that are too fat. A decoction of the leaves and root is good for serpent bites, and to neutralize vegetable poison, as mushrooms, etc.

6. Does this mean only men should eat bananas?
Should I avoid cucumbers too? Peaches have a cleft in them -- will they make my butt shapely? Or give me fuzzy skin?
I think I'll go eat some walnuts - I want to think this theory through.

10. haha
Maybe peaches ARE good for the behind. And just as male and female both have "testes"/"ovaries", I would assume anything that is beneficial for the male member would apply for the female va-jay-jay.

12. My great-great uncle - my great grandmother's brother
(who were both still alive when I was in my early 30's) SWORE by a banana, a beer and a cigar every day - as the source of his longevity. (now I wonder if it wasn't actually his sex life that kept him alive and healthy for so long LOL)

7. Sausage - let's not even think about the symbolism of that body part
I know, the OP was about "whole foods" - but still... "You are what you eat" is the theory.

8. This is absolutely facinating.
Thank you so much. Now I want to learn more. I'm off to Google.
REALLY appreciate this! I think this may be one of the most valuable health posts I've read.

9. Very cool, I agree
Personally, I am going to load up on Valentine cookies for my heart!!

Just kidding.

I think ginseng root looks like something--aha, here goes



It looks like a human body so it is a wholistic cure all.

Have you guys ever seen a fetus shape superimposed on an ear? It is the way they find the ear acupuncture points.

16. I never saw
the inverted fetus on the ear. Now I want to compare it to a chart of ear acupuncture points. Do you have that?

17. I don't have one handy
But I have seen them on the 'net. You could do a search on Google Images. I knew where this picture was because I found it and sent it to my daughter. A psychic had told a friend of hers that she saw a baby wanting to jump out of her ear. She was wondering about the ear reference.

13. I received it in a fwd email from a friend
I thought it was really neat.

Time doesn't have free access to archives, and I couldn't find anything on the Time site. There are several references that are just the intro statement posted around. This one has the entire article >

http://www.axisofgreed.org/?p=56

It certainly opened my eyes to a new way of viewing fruits and vegies. I'm especially interested in the ones linked with bone building.

What are the Agrippa books?
