My book, HTG, lays out exactly how we get disease in the first place, what we can do to avoid and what we should do if we do get sick. My seven component health protocol explains my entire philosophy regarding health. I’ll also introduce you to my Beginner to Master (Copper to Diamond) step by step progression toward incredible health, the kind of health most people only can dream of.

“Jesus speaks of the body as being the living temple of God and refers to his own body as a temple. His words are misunderstood, as was much of his message to those who lived in those times. The Bible states that health and wellness is found with God. If your body is full of disease it is because of the choices you have made. All disease comes from our diet. Our genes have nothing to do with whether we get sick or not. Disease does not run in our families due to genetics, but rather dietary habits that tend to lead to many of the same diseases.”

My health protocol is simple to understand, but parts of it are difficult to adhere to completely. However, I break it down into simple, understandable steps so that the average person do it if they are determined.

McCauley is a vegan (someone who does not eat any meat, fish, eggs or dairy products) who promotes the use of spirulina and chlorella for our protein instead of animal sources. Spirulina and Chlorella are the most powerful superfoods known. They are complete foods with protein, carbohydrates and fat that are the most nutrient dense foods known. They also have the broadest array of nutrients of any foods.

In 15 years of service, the WWC has labored hard to bring awareness about ionized water, spirulina and chlorella to the average person who may or may not be interested in natural health. The WWC also promotes angstrom minerals, probiotics and herbal extracts. They also encourage that people move to a diet consisting mainly of raw fruits and vegetables. “The Body is Capable of Healing Any Disease” is the mantra they have operated by for all years they have been in business.

Chlorine gas is more likely to be released in hot water. As it escapes from the hot water it is released in the confined shower recess, especially one with poor ventilation. The longer the shower, the greater the concentration of chlorine gas in the air we breathe. The lethal concentration for ten minutes of exposure is about 600 ppm and it has been suggested that regularly taking hot showers with chlorinated water could pose a health risk.

KDF is the Preferred Shower Filter Media

Dechlorinating shower filters are limited to two types of acceptable media for potable water use: GAC (granular activated carbon) and KDF (atomized brass). GAC is not recommended for hot water use because of the media being continuously exposed to temperatures of 105 degrees F. At these elevated temperatures some of the contaminants absorbed by the carbon can slough off and re-enter the water. GAC is highly absorbent and becomes saturated within just hundreds of gallons versus thousands of gallons with KDF, requiring more frequent replacement.

KDF is comprised of 50% copper and 50% zinc. It removes free chlorine by reversing the electrochemical process that originally separated the chlorine from sodium in a brine solution. This is how it works: Copper and zinc are dissimilar metals. The tension between these metals generates between 900 and 1100 millivolts of electricity as water passes through it. This is enough electricity to generate a galvanic charge which re-establishes the original electrolytic environment that created the free chlorine. The chlorine is able to recombine with a metal ion, normally zinc, to form a soluble zinc chloride which washes out of the filter and is harmless to humans. KDF is also bacteriostatic and tends to reduce or eliminate fungus and mildew build up in the shower enclosure.

Life of Shower Filter

Depending upon the filter model a KDF shower filter should last 6 months for a family of four. KDF’s effectiveness is measured by its ability to generate the electrochemical action as described–not in gallons. The cathode-anode relationship between copper and zinc can be reduced or disrupted by particulate contaminants in the water. The less particulate matter in the water entering the filter, the longer the KDF media will generate adequate levels of electricity to effectively remove free chlorine. Any odor of chlorine in the shower water or a reduced level of flow are indications the filter should be changed.

Chlorine and Chloramine

Chlorine is present in most municipal water systems in greater amounts during warmer weather or when higher levels of contaminants are present. Chlorine and Chloramine levels can very from day to day. Chloramine is produced when a municipality injects both chlorine and ammonia simultaneously into the water supply. This is done to reduce the free chlorine’s ability to combine with organic matter in the water and thereby produce potentially harmful trihalomethanes, or THMs. Because chloramine has less disinfecting ability than free chlorine, a higher concentration of chlorine is usually used to get the same bacteria kill rate. Chloramine is already bound to organic matter in the water therefore it cannot bond to skin or hair. There is no chloramine gas therefore no vapors to inhale such as with chlorine. Rainshow’r filters do not remove chloramine or leads and heavy metals. Some shower filter companies have made these claims. KDF may have some ability to remove these contaminants however in the small amount of filtering media and the rapid rate of flow required in a shower filter, this is not likely.

Experimental use of Chlorine in drinking water began in the 1890’s to combat water-borne diseases such as Cholera and Typhoid. Chlorine quickly gained wide acceptance because of the low cost and high efficiency it had in killing just about everything hazardous in the drinking water. The use of Chlorine allowed population centers to appear and thrive without any epidemic outbreaks. Today however, we know more about Chlorine and why it is so important to remove it from our water before we drink it, cook with it, or shower in it. Chlorine is a known poison and the safety of drinking this poison over a long term period is highly uncertain. We now know that Chlorine reacts with water-borne decaying organic matter like leaves, bark, sediment, etc.. to create a family of other chlorinated organic compounds which can or may be highly toxic.

When you shower or bathe in Chlorinated water, the pores of your skin open up and absorb the chlorinated water like a sponge. Also, Chlorine-filled Steam enters your lungs. People can actually receive more exposure to chlorine during a shower than by drinking the same water. Chlorinated Shower Water also causes or worsens skin irritations and rashes, dries the skin, can irritate eyes leaving them red, itchy and burning, and inhaling the steam can aggravate the sinuses and lungs as well. Most shower filters on the market today are specifically designed for Chlorine Removal.

Testing On-Site

When performing on-site tests for free chlorine, it is recommended that the amperometric filtration test method be used because it is least likely to reflect interference. The presence of iodine ions in the water will magnify the chloramine interference when using the OTO and DPD test methods. Also oxidized manganese in the water may interfere with the DPD procedure. The OTO test such as used for testing chlorine in swimming pool water will not give accurate test results for free chlorine in shower water.

Seasonal Affective Disorder, also known as SAD, winter blues, or seasonal depression, is a medical condition caused by the seasonal change in the amount of available sunlight. SAD (which affects as much as 10% of the population) is most pronounced in the more northern regions of the world, with a greater daylight variance from summer to winter. Women are affected to a larger degree than men (by almost 3 to 1). Symptoms vary depending on the severity of the individual case. In its milder form, “winter blues”, symptoms include a lack of energy,depression, listlessness, and food cravings for sweets and carbohydrates. By contrast, cases of the more debilitating Seasonal Affective Disorder may include additional symptoms: Problems sleeping, change in appetite or weight, loss of memory, lack of concentration, severe depression and confusion.

The http://blog.alkaline-living.com/?p=84 1) Meat is extremely acidic and deposits a great deal of acid into the body where it collects in the joints and around the organs, creating an overall more acid profile in the body. Slaughterhouses are currently using techniques that tenderize the meat by electrocuting it repeatedly, which releases even more of the acid in the meat.
2) Meat contains no dietary fiber whatsoever, a critical component of human health. This makes meat very difficult to digest.
3) Meat contains absolutely no enzymes once it has been cooked, another critical component of human health.
4) Meat contains a limited number of nutrients other than protein. One of them is Vitamin B-12, one of the few good sources of that nutrient. However, the Vitamin B Complex operates optimally with all the B Vitamins present, B1 (Thiamin), B2 (Riboflavin), B3 (Niacin), B5 (Pantothenic Acid), B6 (Pyridoxine), B12 (Cobalamin).
5) The proteins found in meat must be broken down into amino acids and reformed into human proteins. This is inefficient and requires more energy to process than vegetable amino acids, which are considered predigested protein.
6) Cancer patients are told by their doctors to avoid meat because it encourages the spread of the disease. We can easily conclude from this is encourages the disease to start as well.
7) Enormous amounts of hormones, steroids, antibiotics and other medications are regularly injected into the beef cattle meant for human consumption.
Slaughterhouses are notoriously filthy. E-coli and the removal of hay from the cattle’s diet.
9) Raising cattle and other livestock for slaughter is far more costly than vegetable protein. For instance, Spirulina farming operations typically produce over 200,000 pounds (91,000 kg) of Spirulina per year on only fifteen acres of land. Since Spirulina is 60% protein, that calculates to a staggering 120,000 pounds (54,500 kg) of protein per year or 8,000 pounds per acre. This far exceeds the yield of other high protein crops such as triticale grain, kamu and even soybeans. The amount of protein derived from cattle per acre is negligible compared with that of either Spirulina or Chlorella.
10) We eat for taste and only for taste. The nutritional benefits of meat are far out-weighed by the negative effects it has on the body.

Dr Weil also states: “you can get lycopene, the carotenoid pigment that protects against prostate cancer, only from cooked tomatoes, not from raw ones. The carotenoids in carrots are more bioavailable from cooked carrots than they are from raw ones.” Cooking any food transforms it from an alkaline to an acid substance. Lycopene, an anti-cancer agent found in tomatoes, is a perfect example of this. Lycopene is found in greater concentration after heating tomatoes above 120°F. But the overall detriment to the tomato is not worth the extra lycopene the body may absorb from it. Also, the smaller amount of lycopene will be absorbed more efficiently by the body from a raw tomato than the larger amount of lycopene found in the cooked tomato. This is essentially true of any food once it has been cooked.

Dr. Weil states: “ Alfalfa sprouts contain canavanine, a natural toxin that can harm the immune system.” This is a misleading statement because Canavanine is found in miniscule amounts. Canavanine is a non-protein amino acid that’s toxic in high amounts. In the dry seed it serves as a storage protein, a growth inhibitor, and a defense against natural predators. It is also known as an enzyme inhibitor, meaning that once you sprout a seed such as alfalfa it quickly dissipates to insignificant levels. A 150 pound person would need to consume 14 grams (14,000 milligrams) of Canavanine all at once for it be dangerous to their health. There are insignificant amounts of toxins in nearly all foods if one looks close enough, but they are harmless to us, especially if we live on a raw food diet. Copper, zinc, selenium, vitamin A and iron are all potentially toxic if we consume too much of them, but that is essentially impossible when we receive these nutrients from raw foods. It is when we consume them in bulk in vitamins after they have been extracted that they become dangerous. “>Chlorella , Raw Foods and Ionized Water. Those who simply stop eating cooked foods and go on a vegan raw food diet will be healthy, although they can become deficient in many areas of their health if they do not use Spirulina and Chlorella for their protein, drink ionized water and have a broad array of raw foods in their diet. I eat between 150 – 225 different foods every year. Health is about variety and consuming only raw foods. Dr. Weil could not be more wrong in his assessment of the Raw Food Diet.
