Healing The Body Naturally

The journey of healing for me has been and interesting journey.  While taking a course in Naturopathy I realized that I had health problems starting at a very young age.  I was constantly sick, my tonsils were swollen regularly.  I went through the usual childhood problems with colds, flu´s and dental problems.  What I found was that all of these problems were directly related to what I was eating.

Being sick was a continuous problem and now in adulthood I realize that I have to take responsibility for everything I put in my mouth and taking medication to suppress symptoms of poor health is in the past.

It was in 1986 that I stopped taking all medications or seeing someone in the medical profession to deal with my indiscretions.  My philosophy is that symptoms of poor health are only experienced when I consume things that go against my body´s natural laws of digestion.

Whatever designed this body had an idea in mind.  Accidents happen somewhere else in the universe when I understand how my body works and the natural laws that it follows.  I feel that because my digestive system is approximately 30 feet in length from the mouth through to the colon that my body is best designed to eat fruits and vegetables.

I have found for myself when I feed myself anything else is when symptoms of poor health appear.  Everything has the ability to heal when I give my body what it needs instead of just following everybody else to their grave with hamburgers, french fries, cake candy and the like.

As I ensue with these lines of thought I will do my best to explain the philosophies that I have learned that bring me to this conclusion.

I also used to have a lot of problems with my stomach when I was young that were just symptoms of poor digestion.  First of all because the things I was eating weren't´t digesting properly.  If one follows the SAD (standard American diet) and the food pyramid you will certainly be sick, fat and full of symptoms of illness that are earned by a pure misunderstanding of the body and how it operates.

Even now I suffer from symptoms of poor health because I have continued to eat products that my body will never digest properly and only create and acid state in my body that leads  to improper digestion.

In David Wolfe´s book “The Sunfood Diet’ he awakens people to the idea that all of our foods that we consume operate best when they are raw.  It is something I believe wholeheartedly and I am doing my best to emulate.  Problems arise when I eat with  family, friends or acquaintances and eat comfort foods when I am really not hungry.

This has been an ongoing battle for me for years even though I realize that in order to be healthy I have to eat food that is live.  Cooking or heating food whether in an oven or microwave is just one persons journey to the grave.  When food is heated above 99 degrees it begins to lose nutrients and by the time food reaches temperatures of 118 degrees it is essentially dead, dead food/disease/death comes closer each time these natural laws of health are thrown to the wind and nothing is going to change this knowledge.

When food is heated the body is robbed of essential nutrients from the bones, cells, muscle and teeth to get this product to digest.  So if we heat the proteins, enzymes and fats then protein, enzymes have to be robbed from the body to deal with these now toxic problems that lead us the grave.  We dig our graves with our teeth.  This may appear to be a bit harsh for some people, reality is what is it and being addicted to cooked products is a fact that a person needs to understand if they want to go down the road to health.

Seeking health is a journey.  In order to start down that road we have to be honest with ourselves.  I know I have pissed off a lot of people in the last several years when I share this information, it is what it is…… reality.  People´s adverse reaction to this information is directly proportional to their addiction.

If I want to see a diabetic cringe all I have to do is take their sugar away from them.  Diabetes is a disease of cooked food.  The pancreas is overworked to the point that it actually quits functioning, it may seem harsh, it is just what it is.

Just about every disease I have looked at can be directly related to what is put in the mouth.  Everything is a choice and I would like to live long enough personally to be a grandfather if my daughter ever decides to have children.  Dr. Joel Robbins says that 25% of the children today are sterile from malnutrition.  If you look at what people eat today it is not a mystery.

Without a doubt almost 100% of the time that we open up a bag, box or jar we are getting closer to a serious health problem.  I feel that by the time a person reaches 30 they have something serious brewing in their body and for many it is much younger.

In this day and age children are being born with more cancer, diabetes and serious problems than any other time in history.  This can be a lifestyle choice for those that realize they don´t have or want to be sick.  I do my best to stay away from the word diet, I call it die with a "t" and feel it is a subliminal message that just takes us down the road of unhappiness.

On my particular journey I have had to learn things the hard way.  I wouldn't´t be writing this now if my parents knew how to eat correctly.  It is a journey that begins with the first step.  It can be easy to get off track and fall down and scrape our knees until the denial and indiscretions are in the past.  Many of the people and organizations that have tried to convince us the right way to eat have been making large profits on the diseases that are created by following bad advice.

The chemical and drug companies are in bed with organizations like the American dairy association, USDA and the FDA that make a living on the diseases created from processed and sprayed foods.  If a chemical will kill a bug then what will it do inside the body?  If is kills something else it has the potential over long periods of time to kill you.

Many people actually suppress symptoms of poor health with medication and over the counter trash.  When we have a cold or flu the body is trying to get rid of something that is toxic and if the symptom of healing is suppressed whether from a cold and flu product or antibiotics you just setting yourself up for a bigger problem down the road.

Even an aspirin suppresses the bodies natural ability to cleanse and purify itself.  So if you think you are doing yourself some good by suppressing symptoms of healing, it is wise to think again.

When I see people that are wanting to do something good for their body I may suggest several different paths for a result of health.  Nutritional counseling and understanding is a must.  Many times just consuming the right things at the right time will correct the body as well as help people emotionally balance themselves.

What people may fail to realize is they are addicted/allergic to much of what they eat.  Just because something will fit in your mouth doesn´t mean that it will digest in your stomach.  I can stick a rock in my mouth that doesn´t mean it will digest.

Hypnosis can be good for helping us change our behavior.  People have to realize that hypnosis is being used on us all the time, whether it is from the television, radio or a public speaker, used to influence us.  Repetitive suggestions will get us to override our bodies natural ability to make good healthy choices.

Soy is a great example, by now we have been hearing soy is a health food for around 40 or more years and nothing could be further from the truth.  Soy is the trash/byproduct of the oil industry and instead of throwing it away they have convinced us to use our body as a garbage can to store poisons and excitotoxins.

Through repetitive suggestion some have been convinced to believe some the most outlandish bull shit that is 180 degrees out of phase with the reality of the situation.  If we can´t get rid of garbage our body just makes fat to store it.  If the garbage clouds out ability to make good decisions then we just get dumber and dumber, to the point that we are just zombies waiting for the next word pattern to cloud our mind.

We buy useless crap everyday because we are told that we need it and have to have it to make ourselves feel better and make others imagine we know what is going on.  I feel that at least 90% of what we hear everyday is a lie.  Unfortunately we accept these lies as truth and we just become will-sheep waiting for the slaughter.

Many times energy healing such as Reiki can be used to restimulate the body and get the lymph system working better so that our healing can begin...

Iridology is the study of the eye.  By looking for imbalances in the eye it is possible to tell which areas of the body are out of balance and a plan can be constructed to get us back on the right track.  Massage is also very useful to move the lymph system and get the body working better.

Good supplements can be used to get the body back in shape and can help detoxify from all the fragmented products that people stick in their mouth everyday.  Calcium bentonite clay can also be consumed to help pull toxins out of the body and re-mineralize it.

Other safer ways of healing the body than medication can be used to rebalance the body so that healing can commence instead of just being forgot about.  Most of the vitamins on the market are worth sticking in your mouth and actually can lead to bigger problems than they solve.

It took many years to gather all of this information, there was a lot of trial and error that had to be sifted through in order to get past the misinformation and fragmented information that we are being bombarded with everyday so that we can replace the vitamins, minerals, fats, proteins and other nutrients only found in whole foods.

Most of your synthetic vitamins on the market are made from coal tar (the black stuff people put on their drive ways) and are not fit for consumption.  One can never be missing just one mineral, one vitamin, one type of fat, it is importance to get the correct and whole information instead of a 30 second sound bite that is designed to get us to buy trash that should be just thrown away.

It´s a choice to be sick, it a choice to be healthy, it is a choice to BE.  Disease is a symptom of poor health, stop covering it up with a bigger problem.  Why take a drug to lower you cholesterol when something much simpler can be done to correct the situation?  Just stop doing what is causing the problem.  Sometime this is much easier said then done when we are addicted/allergic.  It takes time, yet time heals all indiscretion.

Love and appreciate you body,  Love and appreciate you mind,  Love an appreciate your health and you will find many rewards.  I make a choice to follow my own path instead of the old warn out one in front of me with all the warning signs.
