My basic philosophy of health is this: Give your body more of the vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and other nutrients that it needs, and it will use them the way God designed your body to use them. Your body is designed to use the nutrients in food to build strong muscle, a strong immune system, healthy skin, purge out waste, toxins and other harmful substances, and keep your various organs functioning properly.
On the other hand, the more you give your body that it can't use or that is harmful, the less it will be able to use to build strong muscle, immune system, healthy skin, purge out waste, toxins and harmful substances or keep your various organs functioning properly.
A few examples
If your diet is low in nutrients that your muscles need, your muscles will obviously weaken and you'll be more prone to something as simple as not being able to stand up straight.
If your diet is low in nutrients that support eye function, you'll be less responsive to visual stimuli. You may not see something on the ground that you would otherwise see, trip, fall, and hurt yourself.
If your diet is low in nutrients that your immune system needs, you will be more suseptible to viral or bacterial infection. Things that cause sickness in this manner are around us all the time. They do indeed cause sickness, but a healthy immune system is better able to prevent them from getting you sick, and better able to bring you back to health if you do get sick.
Are these things too simplistic? Perhaps, but if you are a gymnast, a strong muscle can make the difference between staying on the balance beam and falling off. And at the other end of the spectrum, a lack of nutrients that your heart needs could make the difference between having a heart attack and not surviving vs. not having a heart attack at all.
In light of all this, I believe that many health issues commonly treated with drugs and prescription or over the counter medication have solutions that can be achieved naturally. I also believe that the greatest benefit to your health will result from eating foods that are as nutrient rich as you can find while also as free of man-made chemicals and other known harmful elements and compounds as possible.
Here are some of the simplest common sensethings you can do right now, at no or little cost, to improve your health and stay healthy:
Drink Water. Spring water, well water, distilled water is best, filtered water ok, quality of city tap water depends on what they put into it.
Eat plenty and a wide variety of fruits and vegetables. Organically grown best, but most store varieties are better than nothing.
Eat whole foods. Raw fruits and vegetables, Whole wheat bread, whole grains, real eggs, etc.
Avoid foods loaded with refined sugar and bleached white flour. Whole wheat bread is a whole lot better.
Avoid foods with artificial flavors, colors, preservatives, etc.
Avoid partially hydrogenated oil. Your body doesn't know what to do with this stuff. Your body manufactures cholesterol and can generally handle cholesterol, but partially hydrogenated oil is not a natural oil. Your body will use it but since one end of the molecule is altered, it can't be used very well, nor can it be used properly. I am quite suspicious that this could be a root cause to most problems attributed to too much fat in the body, such as heart attacks and strokes, to say nothing of lubrication for joints. Just do a web search for partially hydrogenated oil and see what you find.
Get plenty of rest. Not to be lazy, but if you find it difficult to get out of bed and get sleepy during the day, it's not more coffee you need, it's probably more sleep. In general, I think a good indicator of how much sleep you need is if you can go to bed at a consistent time every day and wake up at roughly the same time each day without any prodding from alarm clocks, other people waking you, or other disturbances.
Get plenty of exercise.
The index to this page provides links to my experiences with various products and their affects on my health, as well as information about Super Blue Green Algae, which is perhaps the most nutrient rich food available, and therefore one of the healthiest things you can eat.
As time went on, I realized I didn't need to take very much barley green to keep the headaches away. Even as little as a teaspoon full every week or so seems to do the trick. But if I go a month or more without taking any barley green, the headaches begin to come back, very mild at first, then increasing in intensity with time. This usually reminds me pretty quick to start taking barley green again, and the headaches usually go away within a few days after starting to take barley green again.
The nature of these symptoms suggests to me that I am in no way addicted to barley green. To be honest, it doesn't taste very good! It also suggests that whatever is causing my headache is not becoming increasingly resistant to the potentcy of barley green. And though barley green is relativel expensive (as much as $30 for an average size bottle. But such a bottle could last me 2 years or more without loosing its potentcy.
Was all this due to a lack of sleep? I suspect so. Can I prove it? No. It's not a double blind scientifically controlled study. But being that I had never had so many infections before in my life, and that the only major factor that was different for me was sleep, and that nobody else around me suffered the same things, I think it is reasonable to conclude that sleep might have had something to do with it.
Therefore, it is reasonable to pursue nutrition, or lack thereof, as a root cause of any particular disease at the very least in addition to any medical treatment, and in many cases even in place of a medical treatment.
It is fairly easy to show that the problems are underreported, even if all reporting and efforts to show a vaccine's safety is honestly done. The problem is simply that it is difficult or impossible to show that a given problem is a direct cause of a particular vaccine. There are just too many variables. A vaccine could react with something already in a person's body, but the problem is attributed to the pre-existing condition. The timeframe between receiving the vaccination and the onset of problems could be long enough to not be able to pinpoint a precise cause. Some problems may be minor and therefore the affected person doesn't bother to report it.
Benefits of a particular vaccine can also be overreported quite easily. It is said, for example, that 2 in 10 cases of tetanus, for example, leads to death. Therefore, the benefit (not getting tetanus and therefore not risking a 2 in 10 chance of dying from it) exceeds the chance of having a serious reaction to a vaccine (perhaps as low as 1 in a million.) The key is to understand how the death rate from tetanus is calculated. Do 2 in 10 people who get tetanus really die? Or more importantly, we should ask about the health and history of the two that die. It is very possible that many people get tetanus and are able to fight it off before it becomes a serious problem, thus they don't report it to those calculating these death rates. It is also very possible that those who get tetanus have pre-existing weaker immune systems due to diet, lifestyle, or environment and are therefore less likely to fight off tetanus. Only when they feel sick do they report to authorities, are determined to have tetanus, and are counted in the numbers.
As bad as the bubonic plauge was, there were many many people who survived. Likewise, as strong as penecilin is, some bacteria manage to survive it. Why? In any population, there are going to be some who have stronger immune systems, stronger bodies, and other variations. These people will be more likely to survive. So the question is, what can you do to increase your chance of surviving an attack of any given disease. When you think about it, it is silly to think that any particular disease is the result of the lack of any modern medication. I don't deny that modern medicine has provided unprescented health in our day, reducing disease and increasing life span to some degree. But consider this. How many people do you know who don't have cancer? And how many of these people are getting chemotherapy or any other mainstream cancer treatment? Probably nobody. Expand this to any disease. How many people do you know who don't have a particular disease yet are receiving treatment for that particular disease? Diseases are not caused by a lack of a particular treatment, they are caused by something else, be it virual or bacterial infection, or some nutritional deficiency, not by a lack of something that scientists concocted in the last 100 years or so.
Therefore, it is reasonable to pursue nutrition, or lack thereof, as a root cause of any particular disease at the very least in addition to any medical treatment, and in many cases even in place of a medical treatment.
Please Note!
Simplexity Health no longer produces their skin lotions! However, I have found someone making a skin lotoin with many similar ingredients. It is made by Becky DiLella and available through her web site at www.dixiedoesalpines.com.
My Testimony
A friend of mine introduced me to Cell Tech (now Simplexity Health) by giving me a sample of one of their products. The sample was Grape Synergy, a hand and body lotion. I tried it on my hands during the winter months, and my hands have never been less chapped.
When I had poison Ivy, I put Grape Synergy on the affected area several times over the period of 2 days, and the redness mostly cleared up in about 2 days. My mom has had a similar experience, and when she gets poision ivy, it can last for 2 to 3 weeks untreated!
Another time, after moving firewood, I noticed a bunch of red lines where the sharp edges of the firewood pressed against my arm. A friend applied a thick layer of essential matrix, most likely the professional version. By the following afternoon, there was no redness at all.
I am particularly excited about these products for several reasons:
They contain only all natural ingredients
The ingredients are specially formulated to soak into the skin
The product contains the nutrients the skin needs to heal itself and stay healthy
The focus on these products is not about beauty, which is "skin deep" but about health, which affects the whole body.
Other health benefits according to testimony and common sense:
Your skin acts as a barrier and thus protects your body from disease. The healthier your skin is, the better it will protect you from disease. This is particularly beneficial for those who are in regular contact with large numbers of people such as check-out clerks, train conductors, or anyone who walks into a major department store for that matter.
Specifically, ingredients in this and other products from Simplexity Health contain anti-oxidants. Anti-oxidants neutralize free radicals. And free radicals are one of the primary causes of skin problems and other health issues.
Simplexity Health produces a wide range of products, all with the above philosophy towards good health and nutrition in mind. Their products include vitamin, mineral, and enzyme suppliments, a wide range of skin care products, men's personal care products, and even an energy bar, which is one of my favorites. More products are on the way. To see everything they have to offer, go to www.simplexityhealth.com, and under the menu, go to Navigate Our Site-> Products ->Virtual Product Shelf.
Financial benefit as well!
Simplexity Health is a multi-level marketing company similar to Amway or Avon. Therefore, in order to order products from Simplexity Health, you'll have to create an account on their site as a Preferred Customer.
