RABBI GABRIEL COUSENS, MD

Rabbi Gabriel Cousens, M.D., M.D.(H.), N.D.(h.c.), D.D., Dip. Ayurveda, Dip. American Board of Integrative Holistic Medicine, Founder and Director of the holistic, organic, veganic, eco-spiritual rejuvenation center - Tree of Life Center US DrCousens.com, Founder and Director of Cousens School of Holistic Wellness CSHW.org, Founder of the Essene Order of Light and the Modern Essene Way TreeofLifeFoundation.org, and Founder and Director of Tree of Life Foundation (501c3)

Gabriel Cousens is the author of nine internationally acclaimed books including Conscious Eating, Spiritual Nutrition, and There Is a Cure for Diabetes. His forthcoming book, Conscious Parenting, provides lucid guidance for parenting a holistic vegan household. Known worldwide as a spiritual teacher and the leading expert in raw, live, plant-source nutrition, Dr. Cousens functions as a holistic physician, psychiatrist, family therapist, and cutting edge researcher on healing diabetes naturally. The New York Times calls him, "the fasting guru and detoxification expert". He holds an M.D. from Columbia Medical School, a doctorate in homeopathy, and diplomas in Ayurveda, clinical acupuncture, and holistic medicine. His multi-cultural background as an ordained rabbi, an acknowledged yogi, a four-year Native American Sundancer and Eagle Dancer, and a twelve-year Spirit Dancer, adds insight to his “whole-person enlightenment” teachings. Rabbi Cousens is the founder and rabbi of Congregation Etz Chaim in Patagonia, Arizona. He is joyfully married to Shanti Golds Cousens and is the father of two adult children and grandfather of three grand daughters.

As an acknowledged liberated master he found that the cuisine that best supports the flow of the spiritual kundalini energy is a 95-100% live-food cuisine, for becoming a superconductor of the Divine. This understanding led to his first book, Spiritual Nutrition and the Rainbow Diet, which brought the public discussion of spirituality into the live-food movement. His revolutionary work in reversing diabetes naturally is described in the 2nd edition of There Is a Cure for Diabetes.

By 1983 Dr. Cousens was eating 99-100% live foods. He found a major improvement not only in support for spiritual life but also in his general physical strength and flexibility as byproducts. At the age of 21, as captain of an undefeated football team, a National Football Hall of Fame member, and All New England middle linebacker and guard, he could do 70 push-ups. At the age of 60, he could do 601 consecutive push-ups. Now at the age of 72, in addition, he can do 33 consecutive pull-ups, versus 10 at the age of 21. Additionally, he is considerably more flexible. At 21 he could not even sit cross-legged; at age 72 he can sit for 2 hours in full lotus.

Additionally, Dr. Cousens’ Tree Of Life Foundation Humanitarian Projects are a vehicle for preventing and healing diabetes naturally throughout the world. For his work in Mexico and with immigrant farm workers in Arizona, he received the Cesar Chavez Award in 2013. Dr. Cousens has taught extensively in approximately forty countries on six continents, including Cameroon, Ghana, Nigeria, Ethiopia, United States, England, Canada, Mexico, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Peru, Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Turkey, Greece, Morocco, Lebanon, Egypt, Israel, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Italy, Spain, France, Amsterdam, Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland, Czech Republic, Germany, Poland, Croatia, India, Bali, Thailand, Hong Kong, and Papua New Guinea. His global intent and ongoing service is to spread the awareness of organic, live-food veganism throughout the world for the elevation of planetary consciousness. People have come to programs offered by the Tree of Life Foundation, in Arizona, from 117 countries to receive spiritual teachings and shaktipat, to learn about live food preparation and lifestyle, to study organic, veganic farming, for spiritual fasting, for general detoxification, and to enjoy the healing power and joy of eco-spiritual, organic, vegan live-food vacations.

He brought the priceless enzyme research of Dr. Howell MD to the awareness of the world, and wrote the introduction to Dr. Howell’s book, Food Enzymes for Health and Longevity. This propelled the course of alternative medicine, the supplement industry and gave people the power to maintain and regain their health naturally.

Viktoras popularized re-oxygenate, re-enzymize, re-alkalize, re-mineralize, and re-bacterialize the biological terrain for Youthing. He has developed 60 superfood and enzyme supplements.

Viktoras has also authored several books, including the best-seller (manual) Survival in the 21st Century. The book documents the successful treatment of cancer, leukemia, obesity, arthritis, diabetes, menstruation, colds, pain and more by using science with anecdotal clients.
