Excerpt from George and Doris Fathman’s Live Foods by
PAPAYA
This exotic tropical fruit is not too easy to come by, but if you do live near an area where you
can get it, by all means do so. If ever there were a miracle fruit, this is it. We live not far from
the Mexican border, and we regularly have gone to the markets there and procured it. Recently
we found a man who makes periodic trips to and from Mexico and brings back much of
this glorious fruit. So now we buy from him and save ourselves a lot of unnecessary travel.
Dr. B. Lytton—Bernard, D.Sc., D.O., has a health spa at Guadalajara, Mexico, and he is an
enthusiastic advocate of the papaya as an indispensable part of his therapeutic practice. He
says that the papain enzyme has the power of digesting 300 times its volume of protein, and
that he has yet to find a more effective cleansing agent. He says it cleans not only the
alimentary canal but reaches all the tissues. He believes that in the papaya lies the key to
rejuvenating the body to such a degree that life can be greatly prolonged, and without
diminished faculties.
Papaya is a melon that should not be eaten until it gets soft. In Mexico they serve papaya with
lemon or lime juice. In many tropical countries they eat papaya with other fruits like pineapple.
In Florida they like papaya with cottage cheese, which of course we do not recommend
except for those on a transition diet. We do not believe any milk product is fit for human
consumption. You can make papaya aspic by cutting it up, blending it in your blender, adding
lemon or lime juice, and putting in your refrigerator to jell. It is delicious this way. However you
prepare it, be sure to eat as much papaya as you can get. You can never eat too much Of this
fruit of the gods.
Excerpt from George W. Singleton’s Original Prevention of Sickness
A melon fruit of the papaw tree (Carica papaya); in this age of colon cancer and immune
deficiency opportunistic diseases associated with intestinal tract micro-organisms, the
Mexican Papaya is of vital importance. The Mexican Papaya only is of use in this regard: Its
“herbal signature”is its rather bizarre smell of

from the high concentration of the
digestive tract enzyme papain; in flesh around a hollow interior wherein are found its valuable
seeds in an interior surface resembling a human’s intestinal tract wall membrane.
Thus the fruit; is easily digestible and cleanses the intestinal tract and stomach of animal
flesh mucus (acidic, undigested/partially digested food waste) and cooked
vegetable/grain/fruit mucus (basic, partially digested food waste); which coat the stomach
and intestines like hard placque on tooth enamel. One to two cups per day is recommended
for those eating animal flesh; and for those vegetarians wishing to achieve inner hygiene
from previous years of meat eating. Fasting on just papaya from 1 to 9 days under proper
guidance can do wonders for the stomach and intestines; as well as the digestive organs
and veins and arteries clogged with cholesterol placques.
Infections of the colon and stomach, ulcers of the stomach and intestines, and other precancerous
conditions of the stomach and intestinal tract\ including the digestive organs (e.g.
liver, gall bladder and pancreas) can be eliminated with liberal eating of Papaya of Mexico
fruit, and avoidance of red meat and other denatured/over processed/unnatural “foods”.
Eating Papaya fresh with lemon or lime juice, or made into a “smoothie” in your blender with
other fruits is best for breakfast or before bed.
Noting that Papaya (Mexican) seeds are used in meat tenderizer products, save your seeds in a
paper bag and use in enema, water applications by blending in blender or making infusion and
strain.
