The following interview is based on a film shoot that took place on February 1, 2000 at Dr. Cousen's Tree of Life Rejuvenation Center in Patagonia, Arizona. The interview was conducted by Eliot Jay Rosen, Los Angeles Times best-selling author of the book, Experiencing the Soul.

EJR (Eliot Jay Rosen) - Before we talk about Foundation Food^™ Algae, please tell us a little about this beautiful sanctuary in southern Arizona?

GC (Dr. Gabriel Cousens) - The purpose of the Tree of Life Rejuvenation Center is to support the experience of complete rejuvenation, to offer people a "menu of awakened living," to become fully liberated from all limitations so that they can live their lives fully and experience their birthright of the sacred joy of living.

We focus on helping people absorb more of the vital forces of nature through living food, sunlight, fresh air, clean water, meditation, yoga and other practices. We encourage people, whatever their orientation, to go inside and get in touch with the part of their eternal self, so they can regenerate from that point of enhanced awareness. That's our function and that's our focus here.

EJR - You mentioned the term, "living foods." Could you give a brief definition of what living foods are?

GC - Living foods are foods that have not been altered by any particular process that negatively changes its biochemical structure and energetic charge in any way. Living foods are not subjected to heat. They are uncooked and nothing essential is removed from the food by way of processing. Living foods are truly whole foods in that they still have their life-force intact. The best living foods are organically grown because the full complement of nutrients in the soil are essential to our health. As our health depends to a great degree on the quality of the foods we eat, eating as much living foods as feels right to the body, is the direction we want to go.
