The Result of the Wrong Diet is Disease

Friday, October 23rd, 2009

More about my book, Honoring the Temple of God. http://ow.ly/vfWL

We need to accept responsibility for whether we are healthy or sick because it is the result of our diet and lifestyle. It has nothing to do with the disease that run in our family because disease do NOT run in families. They are due to family members living on the same basic diet. If we are sick, we have dishonored the temple that God has given us by putting foods into it that have been cooked or processed.

In my book, Honoring the Temple of God - A Christian Health Perspective, I tell you exactly what you need to do if you expect to be healthy

Disease is opportunistic and as it flourishes in the body, it creates a more acidic environment in order to spread further until it consumes the entire body.

Disease is essentially a mechanism that nature uses to recycle something that is no longer a part of itself. All chronic disease is unnatural and a result of the wrong diet. It has nothing to do with genetics as we are led to believe. Chronic disease destroys what is natural, therefore it is a result of unnatural circumstances. In this case, it is the result of the foods and liquids we naively consume.

Top Ten Reasons Never To Consume Soft Drinks!

Top Ten Reasons Never To Consume Soft Drinks!

By Bob McCauley

  1. Soft drinks steal water from the body. They work very much like a diuretic which takes away more water than it provides to the body. Just to process the high levels of sugar in soft drinks steals a considerable amount of water from the body. To replace the water stolen by soft drinks, you need to drink 8-12 glasses of water for every one glass of soft drinks that you consume!
  2. Soft Drinks never quench your thirst, certainly not your body's need for water. Constantly denying your body an adequate amount can lead to Chronic Cellular Dehydration, a condition that weakens your body at the cellular level. This, in turn, can lead to a weakened immune system and a plethora of diseases.
  3. The elevated levels of phosphates in soft drinks leach vital minerals from your body. Soft Drinks are made with purified water that also leach vital minerals from your body. A severe lack of minerals can lead to Heart Disease (lack of magnesium), Osteoporosis (lack of calcium) and many other diseases. Most vitamins can not perform their function in the body without the presence of minerals.
  4. Soft Drinks can remove rust from a car bumper or other metal surfaces. Imagine what it's doing to your digestive tract as well as the rest of your body.
  5. The high amounts of sugar in Soft Drinks causes your pancreas to produce an abundance of insulin, which leads to a "sugar crash". Chronic elevation and depletion of sugar and insulin can lead to diabetes and other imbalance related diseases. This is particularly disruptive to growing children which can lead to life-long health problems.
  6. Soft Drinks severely interfere with digestion. Caffeine and high amounts of sugar virtually shut down the digestive process. That means your body is essentially taking in NO nutrients from the food you may have just eaten, even that eaten hours earlier. Consumed with french-fries which can take WEEKS to digest, there is arguably nothing worse a person can put in their body.
  7. Diet soft drinks contain Aspartame, which has been linked to depression, insomnia, neurological disease and a plethora of other illness. The FDA has received more than 10,000 consumer complaints about Aspartame, that's 80% of all complaints about food additives.
  8. Soft Drinks are EXTREMELY acidic, so much so that they can eat through the liner of an aluminum can and leach aluminum from the can if it sits on the shelf too long. Alzheimer patients who have been autopsied ALL have high levels of aluminum in their brains. Heavy metals in the body can lead to many neurological and other diseases.
  9. Soft Drinks are EXTREMELY acidic: The human body naturally exists at a pH of about 7.0. Soft Drinks have a pH of about 2.5, which means you are putting something into your body that is hundred of thousands of times more acidic that your body is! Diseases flourish in an acidic environment. Soft Drinks and other acidic food deposit acid waste in the body which accumulates over time in the joints and around the organs. For example, the Body pH of cancer or arthritis patients are always low. The sicker the person, the lower the Body pH.
  10. Soft Drinks are the WORST THING you can possibly put in your body. Don't even think of taking a sip of a Soft Drink when you are sick with a cold, flu or something worse. It will only make it that much harder for your body to fight the illness.

The Role of Ions in Body Chemistry

Monday, May 25th, 2009

Negative Ion Report: The CBS Nightly News, Feb 14, 1995

The harmful positive ion (kation) is a particle that loses an electron. The healthful negative ion (anion) gains an electron in the valency orbit; that is it increases the ability to absorb and utilise oxygen and reduces any excess of harmful serotonin.

These two small invisible electrified particles have an effect on our physical and mental well-being and we are constantly bombarded with negative and positive ions eg. polluted air. The negative ions make us feel good, they destroy harmful bacteria. The positive ions make us feel bad (TV. screen produces positive ions).

If the positive ions occur naturally in sufficient numbers, for instance during the onset of the commonly known hot and dry desert winds, the winds cause depression, nausea, insomnia, irritability, lassitude, migraine, asthma attacks, and also affect the normal function of the thyroid glands. Biochemically speaking, the body becomes exhausted and this can lead to an increase in accidents, violent crime and suicides. These can be counteracted with the beneficial negative ions.

The negative ions contribute to the feeling of well being. They reduce the number of active harmful bacteria in the air; the severity of illness; in general they have a stimulating effect also on plant growth like rainwater, which has an abundant source of negative ions. For instance, a shower will re-ionise and has a tonic effect on the body, just like rainwater which clears the air.

Therefore the surroundings of a water-fall, fountains, showers and the breaking surf of sea spray have a much more stimulating effect on the body and mind.

Remember that emotional stress produces serotonin. According to Dr Irving Oyle, serotonin is "the ultimate downer" while norepinephrine is the "ultimate upper".

An excess of positive ions also affects the neurohormone adrenalin which responds to external stress and our five senses control the production of adrenalin hormone. This universal phenomena is a primeval ancestral link, for ion-charged air around breaking or splashing water which attracts us and makes us feel good.

The ions affect our body chemistry eg. serotonin which plays an important role in the working of the brain; is a neurohormone.

For instance: Negative ions cut down the serotonin level and act like a beneficial natural tranquilliser. An excess of serotonin in brain leads to an exaggerated sense of physical and emotional well-being (euphoria), that follows with a state of (lassitude) then to the electrical change from rhythms of the cerebal cortex (over arousal) and finally irritability, anger and violence.

If anyone is exposed to a high level of negative atmosphere, within half an hour serotonin appears in the urine; that is the disposal of excess serotonin.

These experiments can be tested at home under a shower (supply of negative ions).

Note: Hydrotherapy is based on re-ionising of the body, that is increasing the negative ion supply.

Every individual, either consciously or unconsciously must continue to make the effort to attract this natural energy from the cosmetic storehouse. The YANG or positive magneton attracts the negative ions in the body. The YIN or negative magnetron attracts the positive ions in the body.

An equal strength of YIN and YANG magnetron will automatically balance these interplay of ions.

This interplay of ions happen in the body itself but not in the atmosphere. Therefore to clear the air one has to use a negative ioniser.

The Magneton Bio-Rhythm Inductor (healing frequency) combined with the Magneton disc (body ion-balancer) and the negative ioniser (air-cleaner), will balance the strain of external stress and tension. This combined treatment uses existing Natural Healing Forces.

Acupuncture points are ion absorption points, therefore the body can be re-ionised through Magneton metal radiation techniques or acupuncture needling. It enhances the body's ability to utilise oxygen properly and vitamins also have a similar effect.

Negative ion devices prevent horses from stall-walking, a syndrome characterised by horses endlessly oscillating their heads from side to side. Similar phenomena such as hypertension can be observed with human beings who wear an excess of clothing especially if made of synthetic fabric. All movements obviously increase ionic flow by causing friction with immobilised ionic particles in an electro-magnetically shielded environment.

Under normal conditions the body balances the ionisation by means of nasal cycle eg. taking the breath in through the left nostril negatively ionises the air and the right nostril positively ionises it. Note: running water also produces negative ions.

Dimethylsufoxide (D.S.M.O.) (CH3) acts biologically as a weak donor of electrons when applied externally and a similar dramatic relief of pain. It has local analgesic properties and is absorbed through intact skin. Cortisone (C21H28O5) is also a weak electron donor in tissues.

Observations according to James Beal of N.A.S.A. - 1974

Interesting observations with regard to bio-chemical deviations experienced by astronauts suggest that they may be related to abnormalities in environmental electro-magnetics.

Frequent ventricular contractions (P.V.C.'s), loss of Calcium and a decrease in red blood cell volume of up to 20% have been observed as were certain intestinal gaseous disturbances.

Mice placed in a de-ionised environment showed a generalised physiological deterioration - became ill and died in 24 days. Cold electron emission from acupuncture points might, under these circumstances, be a biological effort to replenish the atmospheric ionic concentration which is necessary to enable the current flows induced by external electro-static and electro-magnetic fields. Body electrical balance then would require elimination of kations eg. Ca+ and K+. Biological systems thus understandably attempt to normalise external environments at the expense of internal electrical reserves, such as Calcium and Potassium.

CONCLUSION: without ions we could not aborb oxygen in the quantities needed to live.

BIOLOGICAL FIELDS AND STRESS

In summary, a general observation of the Biological Fields and stress would lead one to believe that life's cognising functions lie within the parameter of a biological field. These biological fields may be affirmed to become defective during emotional or physical stress which, if prolonged, subsequently result in cellular disease.

Acupunctural augmentation (increase) of ionic flows to counteract such defective biological fields relieves pain because it is really within these fields that pain is experienced. Similarly, anaesthesia can be produced. Cellular disease is remedied therefore as cells begin to conform to overlying biological fields.

This correlation of psychological stress to biological fields and physical disease is most intriguing.

Acupuncture needles in the mid-forearm cure headaches and needles in the big toe produce anaesthesia for dental extractions. Presumably the mechanism is due to their effects on and within the intricate, continually cognising, biological field. The function of the acupuncture needles is supported by observations of physics, geophysics, biology, biophysics and psychiatry.

THE MINIATURISED BIO-RHYTHM INDUCTOR

The highlight of the Bio-Rhythm Inductor is a new approach of Simple Extra Low Frequencies with oscillating magnetic pulses. Frequency pulses, according to Professors W Ehrmann and W Ludwig at the University of Freiburg and Tubingen, have a resonance to specific body tissue in harmony with the particular patient. It is also in harmony with the numerical philosophy of acupuncture and the theory has more connection with the electrical physiology phenomena (nerves can receive 2500Hz). With a higher wave frequency, the muscle may go slightly into spasm and the feeling of numbness and heaviness - this is a normal reaction.

One may observe the muscle, tendon and joint moving together. This has a relationship to the nerve meridian - muscle and tendon functions.

The reaction at the local muscle will follow the frequency of the wave induced by the magnetic pulse. If the dosage of stimulation is correct, the patient after treatment will be relieved of his syndrome. The body function will be in harmony and he will feel comfortable and full of energy. This treatment is suitable for patients who are scared of acupuncture needling or other treatment.

NOTE: IMPORTANT - One must determine the condition of the patient when determining the degree of stimulation ie. disease condition - acute, chronic, internal or external. Weak magnetic waves can alter brain rhythms. The body itself is a system of electric-magnetic energy.

THE BIO-RHYTHM INDUCTOR

Some basic phenomena on which the Bio-Rhythm Inductor is designed and operated.

An appreciation of some electro-magnetic bio-physics helps to explain acupuncture observations of the past and its relevance also to electro-magnetic low frequency pulse units. Electric currents flow through the acupuncture meridians in the human body; they originate from cellular metabolism and ionic atmospheric and geomagnetic forces and result in electrically measurable force fields about the human body. Electro-magnetic energy can adversely affect these fields, resulting in subjacent cellular derangement's or disease.

Sub-atomic Particles: The relationship between electrons and magnetic fields.

Moving a wire relative to a magnetic field produces an Electro Motive Force which tends to drive a current (ie. Flowing electrons) within the air in a direction at right angles to the magnetic field. This relationship is involved in all electric motors and generators.

The ion is an electrified particle as in H+ = Hydrogen and OH- = Hydroxyl ion.

H+ Kation (+) is an atom that has lost an electron. Therefore it has a positive charge.

OH- Anion (-) are a pair of atoms that have gained an electron, therefore they have a negative charge.

H+ and OH- are electrified and behave in magnetic fields in exactly the same way that electrons circulate in wires - except that in having more mass, they move more slowly and H+ ions move in the opposite direction to OH- ions.

The way ions tend to behave in magnetic fields, one way or the other, depends upon the ionic charge, and the North/South orientation of the magnetic field. For example, this charged particle/magnetic field relationship shows promise of finding commercial application in generating electric power. Some 50% efficiency can be achieved by driving charged particles (ie. ions) through magnetic fields. Known as M.H.D. or Magneto Hydro Dynamics, this phenomenon also appears to have distinct bio-logical implications. For example, red blood cells rotate on their flat axes in-vivo; in-vitro they will rotate if a magnetic field is applied.

In-vivo = (lively) natural

In-vitro = (sliding) external force applied.

The direction of red blood cell rotation in-vitro reverses if the field is reversed, an observation precisely to be expected of a body presenting ionic surface charges.

Seemingly, the electron spinning while orbiting the atomic anatomy is somewhat similar to our Earth's rotating while orbiting the revolving Sun.

When radio energy (electro-magnetic waves) is applied to substances at proper frequencies, it causes the electrons to resonate. The frequency at which resonance occurs is also dependent upon the magnetic field strength. In other words, at any fixed radio frequency, electrons may be made to resonate (echoing) by adjusting the magnetic field strength. This phenomenon is called E.P.R. (Electron Para-magnetic Resonance). Electrons therefore may be spinning faster or slower, resonating at different frequencies, switching orbits, with associated emission and/or absorption of light energy (Photons). Medicine of course is acutely interested in the pH (hydrogen ion concentration) of the blood, always seeking to keep it in its balance. When the Bio-rhythm electro-magnetic field pulse is used, and be restored to their correct in-vivo rotation.

Each living cell appears to be a tiny battery generating its own current by chemical action, ie. the Sodium/Potassium Pump. When ions are in motion, they are invariably associated with magnetic fields; these fields have electro-magnetic qualities, therefore underlying the variations in these fields there are tissues of varying activity and resistance.

Extra-ordinarily active tissues are associated with more intensified fields and inactive tissues with diminished fields. There is definitely a relationship of diseased tissue to magnetic fields, so that when an oscillating magnetic pulse is applied at the right frequency and penetrating strength, cellular metabolism through correction of red blood cell rotation is re-established at the proper level. (Phagocytes activity is stimulated at frequencies of 1 - 4 Hz).

It is likely that cold electron emission from acupuncture points or reflex areas may be a biological effort to replenish external atmospheric ionic concentrations outside the body, and as this requires discharge of certain kations eg. Ca+ and K+, the depletion of internal mineral reserves may result.

In summary, a general observation of bio-logical fields and stress, would lead one to believe that life's cognising functions lie within the parameter of a bio-logical field.

Biological fields may be affirmed to become defective during emotional or physical stress, which if prolonged, subsequently results in cellular disease.

Electro-magnetic augmentation of ionic flows to counteract such defective biological fields, relieves pain, because it is really within such defective fields that pain is experienced. Similarly analgesia can be produced.

According to Robert O Becker, the presence of life regulating organisms is based upon electronic conduction mechanisms; he also proved that such systems can be used in a clinical fashion by applying appropriate levels of externally generated electro-magnetic energy; eg. the oscillating Bio-rhythm inductor.

Cellular disease is therefore remedied as cells begin once more to conform to their overlying biological fields.

The frequency used for dilation and constriction depends on the blood vessel sizes, so one should allow a random sweep through the range required, say 5 minutes for each frequency.

Certain frequencies have proven results in eliminating the specific problems listed.

  • 8Hz and below causes vaso-dilation (enlarged blood vessels)
  • 12Hz and above causes vaso-constrictions (narrowing of the arteriolar lumen)
  • 0.87-3 Hz = for tendons and muscles, nerve system in harmony with blood and lymph.
  • 2 Hz = used where there is inflammation or infection.
  • 3-8 Hz = central and peripheral nervous system where distribution is to the skin of the superficial structure of the body which is a branch of C.N.S.
  • 1-4 Hz = counteracts infections. It stimulates phagocytes and the immune system. Phagocytes engulf and digest foreign particles which are harmful to the body.
  • 4-8 Hz = dating effect counteracting muscular spasm.
  • 8 Hz = Is an analgesic tonic and is stabilising (stops pain)
  • 5-13 Hz = the human brain's electrical activity in the alpha and high theta range. A case can be made that human beings evolved within mimie and are dependent upon the earth's electro-magnetic phenomenon.
  • 8-16 Hz = analgesic, tonic and stabilising, relieves tension and chronic tension eg. headache or directly to organs.
  • 16 Hz = specific for rheumatic complaints. It responds to a range of frequency; use 16 Hz for a chronic case.
  • 16-32 Hz = generally stimulating. Also has a recuperating effect on patients who are stressed and have low vitality.
  • 32 Hz = stimulating and tonifying.
  • 1-32 Hz = generally for acute pain syndromes or compulsive disorders, eg. obesity, alcoholism and drug addiction.
  • 64 Hz = short burst on Lo points.
  • 2000 Hz = removes cravings for methylphenidate in the addict.

Negative Ion Regeneration For Youthfulness and Longevity

Monday, May 25th, 2009

By John Heinerman, Ph.D.
Foreward by Lendon Smith, M.D.

Section One: Vitamins of the Air

Approximately half-a-century ago, a certain woman living in a large, crowded city contracted tuberculosis. Doctors did what they could for her without any avail. They gave her a morbid prognosis of inevitable death and she was consigned to a gloomy existence without any hope or reason to live.

Deciding that she would at least die in more pleasant surroundings, she moved from the big city to a humble log cabin in a pine forest somewhere in the State of Maine. For an entire Winter she stayed there, busying herself with things that kept her mind happy and occupied.

By next Spring she noticed a peculiar thing about her respiratory state of health. Virtually all of her symptoms of her former disease had abated. Going to several medical doctors and a local hospital for various checkups, she was pronounced free of TB. Her recovery was later chronicled in a national best-seller entitled, I Lived in the Woods.

It wasn't anything in her diet that promoted such a remarkable turnaround in her incurable disorder. Rather it was what she breathed every few seconds that accomplished the most good for her.

In a past issue of Soviet Life magazine (April 1969, p. 43), a leading Russian biologist, Nikolai Kholodkovsky made the following highly interesting observations: "The air we breathe in the woods or in gardens contains vitamins given off by plants." His studies had shown that in each cubic meter of air there are several milligrams of volatile substances, including vitamins.

Two of the nutrients emitted from the tree bark and needles of fragrant pine odoe, he discovered, were vitamin C and a form of bioflavonoid called proanthocyanidins. Because bioflavonoids and ascorbic acid often appear in combination with each other in plants, they form powerful antioxidant effects.

The woman who previously suffered from TB obviously benefitted from the forest air charged with vitamin C, which the research of twice Nobel Prize winner Dr. Linus Pauling has shown to be outstanding for fighting viral infections of any kind. But the bioflavonoid with it, the proanthycyanidins, also deserves considerable merit for the prevention and treatment of many infectious diseases. This vital nutrient is better known by its trademark name of Pycnogenol, based on the clinical research of Dr. Jack Masquelier of the University of Bordeaux in France, who discovered it in the bark of the French maritime pine tree which grows in the Les Landes pine forest along the Atlantic coast of southern France.

Both of the powerful antioxidants, which Kholodkovsky first reported on over two decades ago, are extremely useful for controlling the deadly activity of a group of compounds within the body called free radicals. These scavenger molecules are lacking an electron and roam through the body at random, robbing normal molecules of their electrons. In doing so, free radicals create a great deal of havoc and mischief with the body's delicately structured biochemistry. What antioxidants do is to curb or check this destructive action.

Thus, it was that this woman's particular health condition, which the doctors had completely given up hope of ever curing, was unwittingly reversed by her geographical relocation into another environment totally charged with nutrients in the air. It was, in a very real sense, these "vitamins of the air," which had healed her lungs of this ravaging disease.

All too often we're inclined to thick of vitamins as only coming from food or health food supplements. But the very definition of the word "vitamin" suggests otherwise. "Vitamin" is really a composite of two separate words with different meanings to them: but when linked together surely do present a compelling argument for considering the air we breathe in a nutritional light.

Now "vita" comes from the Latin word for "life". And an "amine" is defined by dictionary experts as "any of various compounds derived from ammonia by replacement of hydrogen by one or more univalent hydrocarbon radicals." Which is a fancy way of saying in cruder terminology that a vitamin is essentially a "life gas" or for our purposes here, "life air". Thus, it would be linguistically correct to assert that a vitamin is, indeed, an "air nutrient" as given by the formula definition above.

Section Two: Inhaling Minerals For Health [ Top ]

A very popular self-help manual by James F. Balch, M.D. and his wife Phyllis has become a favorite of the health food industry within the last several years because of its total emphasis on food supplement consumption as a ready Prescription for Nutritional Healing (the title of their book). On page 17 they identify macro (bulk) and micro (trace) minerals as coming from soil, plant foods, meat, and, of course, mineral supplements in tablet, capsule, liquid, and powder forms. But nothing is ever siad by them or any other nutritionists concerning minerals from the air!

You don't need a college education to figure out that if we aren't supplied with hydrogen and ixygen in sufficient quatnities, we're going to die within a matter of minutes. These two trace elements are considered to be micro minerals without which the body could not function and would readily perish in no time at all.

Beyond them, however, are other minerals like calcium, magnesium, iron, potassium, phosphorus, and zinc, which the body depends upon for the normal maintenance of good health. Because of massive advertising by the health food industry and the single-mindedness of scientific opinion, consumers are led to believe that the best source for minerals is food and food supplements. Very little is ever said about water, let alone air, as being potential contributors of minerals.

This realization first dawned upon me in the early summer of 1979 when I accompanied a delegation of scientists and lay people to the Soviet Union for several weeks. Our trip was arranged for by the Citizen Exchange Corps out of New York City and Boston and the Soviet Academy of Sciences in Moscow. A colleague and friend of mine who accompanied me on this historic trip was the late Professor Emeritus Walter McCain of the University of Connecticut at Storrs. Because he could speak Russian fluently, I had opportunities available to me that many of the others in our group didn't have to do some investigative research in health institutes we visited along the way.

Dr. McCain and I spent an afternoon on Monday, June 4th by ourselves touring the "Central Scientific Research Institute of Health Resorts and Physical Therapy" located on Kalinin Avenue in Moscow. Dr McCain knew the directors in the institute from a previous visit - - Drs, Victor G. Yasnogorodsky and Dr, Vasily M. Bogoljubov.

While giving us a personal tour of this large facility, we became very intrigued by a room with a sign on the door reading "Climate Therapy" in Russian. Inside we were shown rather curiously engineered devices designed to mimic different types of air quality for specific ailments. For instance, tuberculosis sufferers were recommended a machine simulating "mountain air"; asthma sufferers were prescribed a machine generating warm, dry, desert'like air; while emphysema patients and those experiencing chronic lung inflammation were put on a machine yielding an air reminiscent of a sea coast.

They told us that the success of these machines and the airs they simulated from different environments in nature, was due largely to the mineral ions found in each of them. I, of course, had always been familiar with air ions in general, and knew from published scientific research that positive ions (posions) could make a person feel crummy and sick, while negative ions (negions) stimulated vibrant health and left you with an exhilarated feeling. But this was the first time I had ever heard them referred to as "mineral" ions.

My introduction to this radically different concept of air minerals was something of a new experience for me. And, just like the Wonderland into which Alice tumbled gehind the Looking Glass, I became more "curioser and curiouser" as our trip continued.

The real clincher, though for vitamins and minerals from the air. came to a head in the oil producing city of Baku beside the Caspian Sea, in the former Soviet Republic of Azerbaidjan (now a newly self-declared nation of its own). There we had ample opportunity to learn a great deal more about the benefits of nutritional air at the Zone Z'drovia, or Zone of Health.

On Friday morning, June 9th, our group visited this remarkable midical clinic situated just inside an ancient stone wall ssurrounding the oldest part of the city. Here we discovered to our utter delight and astonishment, a wide range of natural therapies available for a host of illnesses. Some of those therapies, as I look back on that time through the pages of my well-kept journals, were a little on the exotic side.

Take phytotherapy, in which young and old alike with problems ranging from hypertension and chronic bronchitis to fatigue disorders and heart disease spent an average of ten minutes or so sniffing the fragrances of laurel, geranium, or rosemary (the fragrance of the geranium, we were told, is especially good for "acute headache, neuroses, high blood pressure and insomnia"). And, if that sounds a little bizarre, consider this: those plants were being "fertilized" with mineral water, glucose and even drugs - - including common aspirin!

This course of treatment, I learned, differs from the popular European and American aromatherapy in one important respect. The former utilizes the whole living plant, while the latter uses just the natural aromatic essence extracted from it. The concept is basically the same as whether you derive your essential nutrients from food or from food supplements. Common sense dictates that the first is always better for you than the second, because the nutrition you're ingesting is complete and alive!

We were informed by Dr. Abdul Kuschev, the clinic's Director of Medical Science, that the ultimate benefit to their version of phytotherapy lay in the fact that the patient obtained his or her necessary minerals from the invisible air ions emitted from different garden herbs. These, he stated through an interpreter, were what made patients feel better by solving their problems nutritionally - - through nutrition from the air!

These things brought me full circle a couple of years later while watching the "Tom Snyder Show" on television in my home on December 9th, 1981 at 12:25 a.m. His guest was an exceedingly thin fellow named Wiley Brooks (then age 48) from Boulder, Colorado. Mr. Brooks was exceptionally unusual in that he claimed to obtain all of his nourishment from just two things - - namely air and water! He styled himself a "breathairian" who lived by breathing his "food" insteac of eating it in the conventional way the rest of us do.

He said that the key to understanding his off-the-wall philosophy was found in Genesis 2:7, which he quoted from memory: "And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the groung, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul."

When asked what the difference was between those in self-imposed starvation and himself, he continued: "The difference between me and hunger strikers [imprisoned members of the terrorist organization the Irish Republican Army] in Belfast is that they quit eating to die, while I quit eating to live better!"

He added: "I've discovered by breathing pure mountain air in the high Colorado Rockies that I'm able to obtain just about all of the nutrients my body could ever want; the water I drink to keep myself from dehydrating, supplies the rest." He joked by saying that the hardest problem he now faced with this new change of healthful lifestyle was when his old friends and acuaintances invited him out to dinner. "I'll usually tell them, 'you go ahead and eat and I'll just step outside for my snack - - a few breaths of fresh air!"

However ridiculous or extreme this may seem to some readers, it does underscore a significanttruth: air contains many of the vitamins and minerals our bodies need in trace amounts in the form of very minute, beneficially charged molicules known as negions. This is the food we inhale from air near the ocean, in the tops of the mountains, by a waterfall, after a good rain and thunderstorm, and in our bathroom showers. This is the nourishment which will belp us to retain youghful vitality and enfoy longer life. It is the type of air the Antediluvians breathed before the Great Flood.

Section Three: Prehistoric Atomosphere [ Top ]

Something in the Bible used to puzzle me for years until my research into negions was the great discrepancy in age differences between pre-Flood and post-Flood man. Genesis informs us that the Antediluvians enjoyed astonishing longevity rates reahing into many centuries and, in some cases, almost climaxing a complete millennium before their expirations. Whereas, we find the age of men in Abraham's time diminishing considerably to the point that a few who managed to live beyond 150 were considered to be very old.

But part of the solution to this vexing problem for scholars may be found in the words of the great.

Question: Is there such a thing as Ionized Water that is charged Negative Ions?
Answer: Absolutely. And it’s the Most Beneficial Thing a Person can Possibly Put in their body.

The human body does not make mistakes.

Monday, May 18th, 2009
The human body does not make mistakes. If provided with the right materials, it operates perfectly and the medical establishment instantly becomes obsolete in the treatment of chronic disease. Essentially, we are the architects of our own body. We sculpt it into the shape that we want it to be by exercising and putting foods in it that are either nutritious or harmful. If we are overweight and have health problems it is because our diet is comprised primarily of cooked foods, which never satisfy our hunger, thus we overeat.

Raw Foods and the Biggest Myth Ever

Friday, May 15th, 2009

The biggest myth that has been perpetuated through the centuries and remains well established to this day is that a diet comprised mostly of cooked foods is healthy.

As a species we have only eaten cooked foods for a very short period of time. To put it into perspective with an analogy, if we started walking and did not stop for three days that is how long we have been living on a raw food, uncooked diet. If we then took seven more steps, that is how long we have been cooking our food. We are the only species in the world that cooks our food and we are the only species that gets sick except for the pets we domesticate and put on a processed food diet.

The first thing we need to understand about cooked foods is that they are an addiction . There are healthy and unhealthy addictions. Cooked foods are an unhealthy addiction because they are detrimental to the body for several reasons. When we do something strictly for the pleasure of it and not for any other reason and we can't stop doing it, that should be considered an unhealthy addiction. To say that eating raw foods are an addiction is a misnomer because the nutrients in raw foods are required by the body in order for it to be healthy, therefore raw foods should not be considered an addiction.

These are weighty ideas not spoken lightly because it is a pronouncement that cooked foods prematurely age the body and lead to all chronic disease. Once we recognize this, we can begin to treat our addiction to them. None of us want to ever admit any addiction to anything, let alone something that has been at the core of our lives since we can remember. We are taught that disease is inevitable and who it strikes often seems to be random in nature. It is most difficult to remove an addiction from our life. All addictions are physical, psychological and/or emotional and therefore are worldly in nature. Thus, removing worldly addictions from our lives it is a spiritual event that raises us higher. We all have certain foods that we like and have a hard time avoiding. With me, those foods are pizza and chocolate. But I find that the more I stay away from them, the easier they are to avoid. Like anything else that we are addicted to, we must completely stay away from those substances because the temptation to go back to them could be too strong to resist. A person can jump into raw foods with both feet and end their cooked food addiction cold turkey and do well. But that person is the exception. Most of us need to transition slowly into the raw food life and this should be done by increasing our intake of raw foods and decreasing our intake of cooked foods each day.

We spend our childhood being conditioned to eat cooked foods. Raw foods are all but shunned for the most part. Even in the womb we receive nutrients in a diminished capacity from our mother's body, that of cooked, denatured foods. Therefore the natural state of the body is never realized and we live our lives in a body that is completely different from the body that nature intended us to have something like an alter-body like that of an alter-ego. It exists in a way that nature did not intend it to exist. A body fed mostly cooked foods is different in many ways from the natural body. The body that is fed cooked, denatured foods is a denatured body. Its immune system is weak. Its organs produce diminished quantities of enzymes that a natural body does. The pH of the denatured body is usually acid, therefore abnormal. The denatured body's hormonal balance is at greater risk of destabilizing, leading to a cascading effect of one's health problem leading to another, which is why doctors have such a hard time identifying which disease a person actually has sometimes. Warnings of all kinds manifest themselves in the body of the cooked foodist. Acid reflux, joint pain, bowel problems are amongst the first to appear.

It is like a building that is designed to be constructed and maintained using one particular set of materials, but another set of materials is actually used in it. Thus, the entire structure, in this case the body, is constructed of interior materials that are destined to lead to maintenance problems, in this case meaning chronic disease of every kind.

Cooked foods unnaturally and prematurely deform the body. In extremes cases, it makes people chair-ridden, even bed-ridden by the time they're in their fifties. Death in these cases is slow and agonizing. It becomes for some a living death with intermittent trips to the hospital as they slowly waste away over a period of many years. And with each return from the hospital, the body is a little more diminished and less likely to fully recover as drugs are prescribed one on top of another.

The craving for cooked foods that is conditioned into the mind and body itself has no connection whatsoever with the actual nutritional demands of the body. The appetite of the cooked foodist is insatiable because the body's nutritional needs are never entirely met. This leads to gluttony and other eating disorders that simply are not to be found in the wild. A bear or bird does not suffer from acid reflux or obesity. A raw foodist does not have these types of eating disorders. In fact, there is no evidence of chronic disease in the wild of any kind. No one has ever shot a deer, taken it home, cut it open and found it full of cancer for instance. All addictions are an outgrowth of unnatural circumstances. Disease itself is NOT a natural part of the human condition.

A chronic cooked food diet manifests itself by grossly disfiguring the body as it ages. Thighs begin to look like cottage cheese, bellies become sacks of flab as do chins, arms and breasts. Chronic lack of exercise adds to the grotesque features of bodies deprived of the enzymes that are found only in raw foods .

When you are sick, your doctor prescribes a drug for your problem, let's say arthritis. The chances of your arthritis being cured at any time in your life from that or any other visit to the doctor's office are zero. Drugs don't cure chronic disease, they treat its symptoms and outer manifestations, but they do not rid the body of disease. Disease is opportunist and springs to life in your body from living on a diet of cooked foods, which deposits small amounts of acid waste in the joints in the body, which have manifested itself as rheumatoid or arthritis.

The raw food diet is 100% successful in preventing and even curing the body of all disease each and every time it is tried. Many will ask why they have never heard this before if all this is true. I don't know the answer to that question, but now you know the truth. When it comes to health Raw Foods Rule!

Fitness, Exercise & Motivation – The Path to Perfect Health

Friday, May 15th, 2009

The live food movement is the new paradigm, the next order of how health and disease are beginning to be perceived. It is a total approach to health that stresses water, live nutrition, exercise and high energy motivation. The Arnold Fitness EXPO is the largest EXPO of its kind where people come from all over the world to learn the latest about fitness and bodybuilding, but there is much more to being fit than simply exercising and endlessly pouring down powered health drinks. We are missing a huge health component when we concentrate exclusively on looks and building mass and not enough on diet and what truly leads to great health. And the good news is that we can have both, a great look and great health. We now recognize that medicine and health are two entirely different approaches that don't conflict with one another other than to force people to make a choice as to which path they will choose to achieve health.

There are three pillars of Great Health. Most bodybuilders and other athletes work hard to obtain two of those health pillars, exercise and a positive mental attitude or motivation . By neglecting the first pillar, nutrition and water, we only destroy the very foundation of what we are trying to achieve: a healthy, sculpted, athletic body. We don't obtain the perfect body we desire when we don't eat a truly healthy diet. We cheat ourselves out of health and appearance.

Health and Bodybuilding

Until now, the worlds of bodybuilding and true health have not coincided. Bodybuilding today still revolves around various supplements such as creatine and whey protein. The body creates some of these substances through its natural processes. For instance, creatine is created by the body from amino acids. However, when we consume synthetic forms of these substances, the body may still use them to build muscle, but not without a cost to the body's overall health. Some of these substances do not belong in the body whatsoever because they cause great detriment to our health. Whey protein, whether derived from a cow or goat, contains a protein structure that may appear on paper to be exactly what the body needs, but how the body handles it is an entirely different matter that causes severe imbalances in the body that can eventually lead to disease.

We can stay healthy and carve our bodies into the shape we want. To do this, we are use to pain and sacrifice, but to be truly healthy it takes a kind of sacrifice that most of us are not use to. Moving to the healthiest diet known will take more discipline than you can imagine because you will be required to change one of the most fundamental parts of your life, the diet you grew up with and are conditioned to believe is healthy. The diet we all live on is the cooked food diet, which leads to all disease.

Bodybuilders do two dangerously unhealthy things to themselves. They acidify and dehydrate their bodies. They acidify it through their diet and with exercise and then deliberately dehydrate it, especially before a competition, to make themselves look better. There is nothing worse for the body than acidifying and dehydrating it. It is why bodybuilders suffer from kidney, liver, heart disease, as well as a host of other health problems at such relatively young ages. None of these processes are natural nor are the diseases that result from them. We prematurely age ourselves with the cooked food diet, unnecessarily expose ourselves to disease and bodybuilders are more guilty of this than any other group of athletes. A hard working bodybuilder appears to be a picture of perfect health as his or her muscles ripple and flex. It is the human body sculpted into a work of art, but often that body is deteriorating within, rife with disease. It does not have to be this way.

My health protocol seeks to reverse the unhealthy things bodybuilders and other athletes do to themselves by opening their minds to the incredible world of natural foods, powerful nutraceuticals such as Spirulina and Chlorella and Ionized Water, the most important substance for our bodies.

Reverse Aging

We can reverse the aging process without hormone replacement or other artificial means. We can have the body that we had when we were in our twenties regardless of chronological age. We prematurely age ourselves, both internally and externally. Our faces show age more profoundly and at an earlier age when we acidify and dehydrate it. Bodybuilding is all about look and strength. When we move to the raw food diet, coupled with proper hydration of the body, we can have both the look we want and the health we deserve. When we talk about reversing the aging process, we are talking about reversing it biologically, not chronologically.

Building Bodies – The Problem of Protein

One of the nutrients the bodybuilding world currently revolves around is whey protein because its builds body mass. On paper, whey protein looks like a sensible, healthy choice. Unfortunately dairy products are one of the worst things we can possibly put in the body for a number of reasons. They create huge amounts of mucus in the body and the amino acid structure of whey protein throws the body completely out of homeostasis or balance. Specifically, the amino acid ratio is unbalanced, meaning that there is a large amount of one amino acid and not enough of others. This kind of imbalanced protein encourages disease more than anything else, which is why doctors often tell cancer patients to avoid meat and dairy because they know it will exacerbate the problem.

The Protein Solution

If we examine plant based amino acids, we find that they are naturally in the correct amino acid ratio to one another. Dairy products of any kind are wrong for the human body because are putting the milk and hormones of another species in our bodies. We are the only species to consume milk past infancy and the only species that consumes the milk of another species.

The Most Powerful Foods Known

Spirulina and Chlorella, two types of algae, are a superior source of protein for many reasons, including the fact that they alkalize the body instead of acidifying it the way animal protein does. These two foods are 60% protein, far higher than any other natural food. They have a full compliment of amino acids in the correct ratio to one another along with the broadest array of nutrients of any foods. They are both considered perfect foods. Although it would not be ideal, a person could live on either of them exclusively and be quite healthy. Bodybuilders must learn to use this type of plant protein as many have begun to do with great success. I work out everyday, running 3-7 miles along with upper body work. Since including these two superfoods in my diet, my stamina, recovery times and overall performance have improved dramatically.

Diet Plans We Should Fear

Traditional diet plans play around with the carbohydrate, fat and protein ratio of foods we consume. High fat, high protein diets allow the body to lose weight quickly, however they cause the body great harm and have even killed people. This happens because these diets meddle with the natural balance of protein, fats and carbohydrates that the body has evolved on over millions of years. When we tinker with it, the body falls out of homeostasis and opens itself up to all disease. One of the central components of the raw food diet is detoxification. Some people have complained that going on the raw food diet made them sick, but really it only detoxified the person, which gave them symptoms of disease such as headaches, rashes, diarrhea and fatigue. They were healing, but unfortunately mistook it for illness. Simply stated, toxins are substances that don't belong in the body. There are very mild toxins and very dangerous toxins such as heavy metals. Disease lives on toxins and we create a toxic environment in the body by living on a cooked food diet. Raw foods detoxify the body in every way, just the opposite of what cooked foods do, which is deposit their toxins. As these toxins are removed, the diseases of the body leave with it because they have nothing to live on.

Which Water to Drink

It is difficult for the body to get water from any source other than water itself. Water is the centerpiece of health, yet most people ignore it completely. The single biggest health mistake most people make, including bodybuilders, is not drinking enough water everyday. We need to drink half our body weight in ounces every day just to replace the amount of water we lose. Unfortunately, most of us reach for something other than water when we are thirsty. Or we eat something to quench our thirst, which is even worse. We have conditioned ourselves not to drink water and this is the most dangerous thing we do to our health.

There is nothing more important for the body than water, however, most health and medical professionals know very little about water, nor do they promote it. I have been in the bottled water business since 1993. Most of the water sold in health food stores is purified, either through distillation or reverse osmosis, meaning that all the minerals have been removed from the water. Unfortunately there is nothing healthy about purified water. It acidifies the body, does not hydrate it well and leaches vital minerals from the body. Spring or mineral bottled water is usually good quality and is fine to drink. But the best water by far is Ionized Water. It is a powerful antioxidant that provides the body with lots of oxygen and therefore lots of energy. It is very alkaline, which helps to balance the body's pH and bring it into homeostasis. This is critical because all disease lives in an acid environment in the body, but will not live in an alkaline environment. The size and shape of ionized water molecule clusters are very small, about half the size of conventional water molecule clusters, therefore it is extremely hydrating. And as it hydrates the body tissue better than it ever has before it pushes out all the things that don't belong there, which are commonly known as toxins. Ionized Water is extremely detoxifying, which is why there are various levels of ionization strength on a water ionizer so we can begin drinking Ionized Water slowly and don't detoxify too quickly.

Cooked Foods vs. Raw Foods

Cooked foods are poison. The first time I read that statement I thought it was ridiculous that anyone would believe that cooked foods are actually harmful to the human body. It took a few years of eating raw foods to actually understand how true that statement is. Cooked foods are an addiction that acidify the body and provides it with little, if any, nutrition. If you don't believe they are an addiction, try going a single day without them. Only raw foods rejuvenate the body because they have enzymes and organic chemical substances that are not denatured, or destroyed, by cooking. Heat is a chemical reagent thus we are chemically scrambling and destroying the nutrients when we cook food. We find no evidence of chronic disease in the wild because animals don't cook their food. In fact, we find of disease at all amongst animals until we domesticate and put them on a processed food diet at which point we begin to find every disease in them that we find in ourselves.

The Source of All Disease

Raw foods alkalize, detoxify and rejuvenate the body in every way. Cooked foods acidify and deposit toxins in the body, creating an environment that is conducive to disease. Disease only lives in a toxic environment. All disease stems from the cooked food diet and worst of all are processed and junks foods such as soft drinks and even breakfast cereals that many of us consider so healthy. Many people believe that disease is inherited, but what we really inherit is unhealthy dietary habits, eating certain foods, living a dietary lifestyle like that of our parents and it is these habits that give us the same diseases that our parents and siblings have.

How to Begin

The human body is capable of healing itself of any disease. The raw food diet is 100% successful in curing disease each and every time it's tried. Moving to the raw food diet is a profound change in lifestyle and the move must be slow and deliberate. We must stop putting the wrong things in our bodies and start putting in the right things, which are the powerful raw foods that nature provides us with. One place to start is with a salad before each meal that grows in size each day and week and month while our cooked food meal that follows shrinks in size proportionally. There is a whole world of raw foods and amazing ways they can be prepared to taste wonderful that the vast majority of us are completely unaware of.

The New Health Paradigm

The same bland message is repeated to us year after year about health and bodybuilding by the same voices. The words of that message are juggled to sound different each time they are delivered, but it is the same message that serves more to confuse rather than educate us on what true health really is. The message of raw foods and the New Health Paradigm has never truly been given a proper forum to be heard. As athletes, I believe it is time we heard this message so we can get on with the important business of being healthy. No matter how great we may look, it is worthless if our bodies are not healthy.

The body is an incredible machine that can prevent and cure itself of any disease. It is a temple that we must honor by nourishing and building it to its greatest potential. Considering the escalating cost of health care that is spiraling out of control, the need to have this message heard in the mainstream is more critical now than ever. I personally don't have health insurance and it is by choice. While I do have accident insurance in case something happens, I will never spend another dime on something I will never need, and that is a doctor.

The world of bodybuilding and fitness has two components of what we must do to Achieve Great Health, that of regular, strenuous exercise and having a positive mental attitude. We must discover the missing piece of the health puzzle, that of Ionized Water and raw nutrition. It is the new paradigm of true health where disease no longer exists. It is time this message is brought out of the fringes and into the mainstream.

Raw Foods Rule

Friday, May 15th, 2009

"Cooked foods are Poison" - Nature’s First Law

We are designed to live 120-150 years, yet making it to 100 without the onset of senility is next to impossible. Your chances of contracting Alzheimer’s or some Dementia-related disease by age 85 is now 50/50. This occurs because of toxin accumulation in the body, particularly the brain, which it is prone to because of its texture and material it is composed of. It is also the most difficult place to hydrate in the body. Toxins accumulate after a lifetime of eating cooked foods and not drinking enough water. Over the years, denatured (cooked) foods deposit acid waste and a plethora of other toxins throughout the body, especially accumulating in the joints, in and around the organs and in the brain. Dementia related diseases are a sure sign of a lifetime of chronic dehydration. Every time you take a sip of water, 80% of it is used by the brain, especially to supply the cranial fluids. When we fail to do this over a lifetime, toxins begin to interfere with the brain's delicate chemical balance. Once a single chemical reaction in the brain is stopped or significantly altered, the ripple effect will be felt throughout the brain. How it will manifest itself exactly will depend on the person’s background, diet, etc.

Reversing these psychiatric conditions is not easy, but can be done to some degree by following the Raw Food Rules and drinking 2-3 gallons of Ionized Water each day. I drink 2 gallons myself everyday and it not hard to do at all.

All foods contain certain levels of natural toxins in them such as heavy metals. For instance, Chlorella contains lead as well as other toxins, however they are minute and will not deposit in the body because it is fresh, i.e. raw, NOT denatured by cooking, pasteurizing or other forms of processing. Examine any food, organic or commercially grown, and you will find toxins that deposit in the body in dangerous levels only when it is consumed after it is cooked or otherwise denatured.

I would like to point out that it is difficult to get Chlorella manufacturers to admit these toxins exist in their products, however there are a few who openly speak of it. However, these toxins will be removed when the food is consumed raw. Chlorella is famous for removing heavy metals such as lead, which is why toxins consumed with raw vegetables are not deposited in the body.

Chronic disease doesn’t exist in the wild. Animals don’t have the long life span that we could have if we wanted. But there or other things to consider with animals in the wild.

Raw Foods Rejuvenate, Cooked Foods Merely Sustain

When you eat raw foods, you know you are really eating something. Its full nutritional power is in your mouth and your taste buds are sending a myriad of passionate signals to the brain: hot, sour, bitter, sweet, strong. When you cook food, you tame it, de-claw it, rob it of savage vitality as well as its ability to renew and cleanse the body at a cellular level. It’s the enzymes and other organic chemicals that explode on your pallet to announce they are full of life renewing qualities. Raw foods are immediately absorbed by the body because of the presence of enzymes in the food. It is for the same reason that the nutrients in raw foods are so readily available to the body and are many times more easily digested by the body.

Cooked foods are a great deal of labor for the body to digest, absorb nutrients from and pass through. Deep fried foods pose the greatest difficulty in this regard.

Raw Foods essentially come pre-digested, meaning they are ready to be absorbed by the body and do not have to be digested. Cooked foods require enormous bodily resources, especially enzymes, to be digested.

People don’t stop to consider what they are putting in their body because they are not educated on nutrition. Instead, sadly, we are conditioned. Conditioned to believe that if it comes out of a box, can or jar, its okay to eat it, regardless if it contains chemical substances and preservatives we cannot even pronounce. Consuming soft drinks is not questioned because marketing has duped us into believing their couldn’t possibly be anything wrong with putting something so profoundly acidic as a carbonated soft drink into our body. The nutritional panels on packages reflects the pitiful amounts of nutrients that are actually in processed foods. And that assumes the body is going to absorb those nutrients, which it has a lot of trouble doing if they aren’t consumed with the enzymes that are found only in raw foods.

They must work five to seven times harder when digesting and converting cooked foods into nutrients that can actually be used by the body than when digesting raw foods. This fact needs no further elaboration other than to say that cooked foods simply have no place in the body. The digestive tract must call on metabolic enzymes to do its job. Our organs are strained and must work overtime to produce sufficient amounts of enzymes to help with the difficult task of digesting cooked foods.

Building the body’s cells with raw foods naturally protects us from bacterial infections and viruses of every kind. It fortifies the cells in ways that only raw foods can because the human body, as well as all life on Earth, has been conditioned to receive its nutrients in that way for billions of years. However, highly processed foods first appeared in the 1930’s. The rise of chronic disease of all kinds correlates precisely with the increased consumption of processed foods. Cancer is a perfect example of this. It has continued it meteoric rise since the 1930’s and now one of every three people in the United States will get cancer in their lifetime. Switch to a raw food diet and disease will disappear from your life for good, or for as long as you remain a raw foodist.

The Importance of Fat In Our Diet

Raw foods are never fattening. Regardless of the amount consumed, the body will assimilate the amount of nutrients it needs and expel the rest. People often believe that bananas, avocados and coconut are fattening, which they are not if they are consumed raw. Once cooked, processed or otherwise denatured, the fat, which has been chemically transformed, will undoubtedly deposit in the body. Fat deposited in the body this way is not a normal bodily process because denaturing food is not a natural process in and of itself. The body also stores them in such a way as to make them unavailable for use by the body except to burn the fat off. Fresh foods contain saturated fats, unsaturated fats and essential fatty acids, all of which the body requires. However, the body is also able to store these fats in its cells so it can use them as required by the body.

Hunger and Cooked Foods

Hunger is a basic instinct that is easily satisfied with cooked foods. The major reason for this is conditioning. The hypothalamus, the on/off hunger switch in the body, has been triggered and the cooked-foodist feels full. While the belly is indeed full, but it is filled with substances that do not carry with them the enzymes that allow their nutrients to be immediately absorbed and utilized by the body. Instead, we force the body to work many times harder to absorb nutrients from the foods we consume because they are denatured. We strain our enzyme reserve. Other areas of the body become neglected, most importantly our immune system. This should be the real reason we call it the common cold. As we age, we deplete our enzymes reserves until we begin to call upon our metabolic enzymes to help digest our foods. The body strains ever harder to absorb nutrients. The digestive tract becomes ever more clogged because of the absence of crucial digestive enzymes whose presence helps keep it clean and flowing. Simply put, we should not put anything in our bodies other than substances that are pure nutrients, i.e., raw foods.

The thing most people want from eating is a full belly. They equate this with having fed their body and satisfied its need for nutrients. Many realize they have done nothing but turn off the hunger switch. A belly full of cooked food is slow moving if not stagnant, especially if it has not been primed with raw foods, such as a hearty salad, before their cooked food meal.

However, we can learn to truly satisfy our hunger pains without resorting to cooked foods.

Upon introducing someone to the raw food theory, many people, especially vegetarians, their first thought is to proudly state that they eat a lot of steamed vegetables. Steamed vegetables are not at all acceptable because steaming kills the enzymes and therefore much of the nutritional potential of the food. It distorts the natural state of the food and therefore the original intent of the nutrients effect on the body.

The Far Infrared Sauna

Friday, May 15th, 2009

Deep Detoxification, Weight Loss, Immune and Cardiovascular Builder

Overview of Saunas

Far Infrared (FIR) waves is an invisible band of light that warms objects without warming the air between. The best example of FIR heat is the sun. Even on a cold day, the sun feels warm on the skin. Approximately 80% of the sun's rays fall into the far infrared range. It is not visible to the human eye. FIR heat is a completely safe form of energy.

FIR waves vibrate at the same frequency as all organic matter (5.6 – 1000 microns). This is why they are able to penetrate so deeply into the flesh and warm it internally.

Infrared Sauna therapy systems duplicate these healthy FIR frequencies. Bodily tissues absorb these rays as the water in the cell reacts in a process called resonant absorption, which occurs when the frequency of the far infrared matches the frequency of the water in the cell causing toxins to be dropped off into the blood stream and be excreted by the body through the kidneys, liver and even hair. The body absorbs as much as 93% of this heat compared with only 20% of conventional heat. FIR saunas operate at the relatively low temperatures of 100 ° – 130 ° F, whereas traditional saunas operate at a temperature of 180 ° – 220 ° F.

Fat becomes water-soluble at a temperature of 100 °F before it begins to dissolve and enter the bloodstream to be removed from the body. Weight loss is one of the benefits of using a FIR sauna each day for only 20-40 minutes. A single sauna session will burn 200-500 calories, as many as rowing a boat for 30 minutes or running several miles. As toxins are removed from the body while using the FIR sauna, natural weight loss follows. FIR saunas are the ONLY natural, healthy way to burn calories without exercising!

Use of a FIR sauna has a cumulative effect on the body, meaning that using it daily magnifies its benefits. The first time you use the FIR sauna will be a pleasant experience. However, after several days and then weeks, detoxification, weight loss, immune building and other benefits will increase dramatically.

Traditional high heat saunas usually operate at temperatures of 180 ° – 220 ° F. These saunas use conductive heat, a heat source that heats the air that in turn heats the body and causes the mucous membranes to dry out. FIR saunas hydrate these delicate membranes as it clears the sinuses. Conductive heat only penetrates the body tissue about ½”, whereas FIR heat 1.5” – 3.5” that FIR waves do.

Deep Detoxification

Typical sweat produced under normal conditions contains 97% water and 3% toxins. Sweat produced from a FIR sauna is 80-85% water and 15-20% toxins! And the toxins that are excreted in a FIR sauna contain heavy metals, pesticides and other petroleum-based toxins, as well as fat itself. All of these toxic substances do NOT appear in typical sweat, only in sweat produced from a FIR sauna.

With a traditional, conduction-heated sauna, it is all about heat, which is costly and ineffective. With a FIR Sauna, profound health benefits occur by sitting in front of FIR heating elements and absorbing those invisible, beneficial FIR waves into the body. Heat is of secondary importance in a FIR sauna.

Far Infrared saunas are easy to assemble (approximately 30 minutes or less) and requires 90% less electrical energy to operate than traditional saunas, which is a tremendous cost savings.

Traditional saunas operate at much higher temperatures, 180 ° – 235 ° F, which are not tolerable for long. In as little as 20 – 40 minutes, a FIR Sauna performs its incredible health benefits. Far infrared saunas, on the other hand operate at lower, more tolerable temperatures, 100 ° F – 130 ° F, and require only 5 – 10 minutes to warm up. It produces 5 – 7 times more sweat while using a small amount of electricity, about the same amount as it takes to run a hair dryer, depending on the unit.

FIR saunas are constructed entirely of cedar wood, which provides a pleasant, natural smell. It can be placed in many areas of the house and can be move easily. It is available in five sizes that will hold between one and five persons.

Cardiovascular Health & Immune Builder

FIR Saunas improve the body's cardiovascular system. While you calmly relax in the soothing warmth of the FIR Sauna, your body is hard at work. As your body increases sweat production to cool itself, your heart works harder to boost circulation, thus improving your cardiovascular system. Increased circulation has been shown to relieve acne, eczema, psoriasis, burns, lesions, and cuts. Open wounds heal faster, which reduces scarring. Peripheral blood vessels dilate to help heal muscles and soft tissue while delivering oxygen-rich blood to oxygen-depleted muscles. This also helps soothe muscles after a strenuous work out.

As the body temperature rises, the immune system kicks in to fight the "artificial fever” created by the penetrating FIR heat. This profuse sweating also deeply cleanses the skin, creating beautiful and improved tone, texture, and color. FIR saunas also help with allergies, Fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, mercury poisoning, Candida, unclear thinking, depression, acne, eczema, psoriasis, lesions and reduces scarring.

The most immediate and noticeable effect is the tremendous relaxation that FIR heat provides. This deep relaxation alone can have a profound impact on your health in a positive way. Read, listen to music, carry on a pleasant conversation with a friend or relative, or meditate while in the FIR sauna. In the comfortable warmth, your stress will melt away, leaving you with a feeling of total rejuvenation . Unlike a traditional heat-driven sauna that leaves you tired and drained of energy after being in them, a session in a FIR Sauna has the opposite effect of energizing you!

What Ionized Water Has Done For Me

Friday, May 15th, 2009

One of the most commonly asked questions I've received over the past eight years of selling Water Ionizers is what has Ionized Water done for me. I've been drinking Ionized Water since 1997 and the effects on my body have been dramatic.

I was already drinking a gallon of water everyday and did not have a poor diet (I was a vegetarian) so I did not suffer the detoxification effects of Ionized Water, which are extremely powerful, but won't be noticed by those who are not toxic. I drank it at the highest (strongest) level and I drank at least a gallon everyday. At present, I drink nearly two gallons everyday and, honestly, have never felt better in my life.

Since I was not ill at the time and had no chronic disease, I cannot claim that Ionized Water cured me of anything. Ionized Water is best used as a preventative health measure, a tool that can be utilized to keep you in the best health possible.

Some of the things I have noticed over the last eight years of drinking Ionized Water is an overall increase in stamina and recovery times after exercising. I have noticed this especially during and after running. I run 2-6 miles everyday as I have for years. My stamina has increased 25-30% and my recovery time has decreased a proportional amount. I never get sore joints; in particular my knees have not given me any trouble since I started drinking Ionized Water. I surmise from this that the accumulated acid waste has been washed from my joints for the most part. I am also far more limber than I was before, thus I find it much easier to stretch than I ever have before.

Colds and the flu have completely disappeared from my life since I began drinking Ionized Water. If I do feel a little something coming on, such as a sore throat, I find that drinking a few extra glasses of Ionized Water helps put it at bay quickly. It is my contention that if people were to simply drink enough water and keep their bodies properly hydrated, 60%-80% of the chronic disease in our society would disappear.

Since my brain and cranial fluids are always sufficiently hydrated, I think much clearer now. This is crucial because the brain uses 80% of every sip of water you take! Ionized Water provides the body with lots of oxygen, much of which will be used by the brain to function properly. Thus, the clarity of my thought processes have definitely improved.

  1. The first thing that Ionized Water does to the body when a person begins drinking it is flush out the digestive track. People often comment how often they have to go to the bathroom when they first start drinking Ionized Water. The smaller water molecule cluster size cleanses the lining of the digestive track and hydrates the body tissue better than any other water. As it does so, it forces out toxins and this can lead to diarrhea, rashes and other detoxification symptoms. The more toxins that are accumulated in the body, the more profound the effects of Ionized Water. Water ionizers have several levels of strength so one can begin drinking at a weak level and then increase as they get use to it.
  2. I have reduced acid levels in the body and balanced my overall body pH, which is not measured through the blood, but through the urine or saliva. But this did not happen overnight. I did not get into the shape I was in, which was not at all bad, but I was not about to correct it in every way overnight. Years of accumulated acid waste in the joints and throughout the body takes years to completely undue. And a large part will depend on your diet as to how quickly you will rid the body of acid waste.
  3. I have increased my blood oxygen level and my energy level at the same time. Oxygen is a nutrient that can saturate the blood, but cannot be stored. Thus it is crucial that we constantly provide our bodies with sufficient oxygen. Oxygen carries nutrients around the body, provides us with energy and kills bacteria, viruses, even cancer cells. 100 million years ago the atmosphere of the Earth contained 30% more oxygen than it does today. We evolved in a higher oxygen environment than we find ourselves today, partly due to pollution, partly due to natural changes between the Earth and the Sun. Ionized Water is a great source of oxygen. The oxygen that is derived from Ionized Water arrives in the form of a very potent antioxidant, which has an extra electron. The oxygen from Ionized Water comes from the hydroxyl ions that are produced when the water is run over positive and negative electrodes and there is an exchange of ions. This hydroxyl ion is an oxygen molecule that carries an extra electron which is donated to a free radical (an oxygen molecule that has only one electron). What remains are two stabilized oxygen molecule; a higher blood oxygen level is the result.
  4. Ionized Water has bathed my body in the negatively charged liquid, which promotes rejuvenation at a cellular level. All RAW fruits and vegetables have a negative charge or ORP (oxidation reduction potential). Anything that is oxidizing, such as metal has a positive charge. Our bodies are constantly being attacked by oxidation; the older we are, the higher the charge (ORP) is. When we drink negatively charged substances such as Ionized Water, this oxidation is retarded and our body's cells are allowed to rejuvenate. This is known as Reverse Aging because it allows the body to rejuvenate at a cellular level. We do not become young in physical years. If we are 40 years old, we do not become 20, but we have the body of a 20-year-old person at a cellular level. This means that the cells that make up our body are as active, productive, communicative and functional as those of a 20 year old person. However, achieving this would not be possible if you only drank Ionized Water; in conjunction with that did not move toward a more Raw Foods, away from cooked and processed foods and put Spirulina and Chlorella at the center of your diet. The Whole Food Raw Diet is the only way to achieve true health, Great Health!
  5. I know that overall my body is much better hydrated than it ever has been since Ionized Water is up to six times more hydrating than conventional water. I am much more sensitive to being dehydrated than I use to be. For example, I become aware that my body needs water after only an hour or so of not drinking any. Simply by keeping my body constantly hydrated, I am accomplishing many things I wish to regarding my health. By staying hydrated we help stave off disease better than anything else we do. My blood is never too thin or too thick because of lack of water. My organs function as optimally as can be expected because they are not starved for water. I do not retain salt, nor do I have thin blood and high blood pressure because I drink enough water, especially Ionized Water.

The effects of Ionized Water on the human body are profound, yet subtle. Ionizing Water does not change the taste of the water rather the "feel" of it. By that, I mean that ionizing water makes it smoother by changing the size and shape of the water molecule clusters. Conventional water molecules group together in clusters of 10-12 molecules. Ionizing water breaks the molecule clusters in half so they form a group of 5-6 water molecules, thus they are smaller in size and more penetrating.

What YOU can expect from drinking Ionized Water

Consuming Ionized Water can and will benefit everyone. You will definitely get all the effects discussed above: a negatively charged substance, a free radical scavenger, more oxygen in the body, a balanced body pH, better hydration and detoxification. If you drink Ionized Water the way I drink it, strong and in abundance, you will see the same benefits I do. However, remember that your body is different from mine and everyone else's, thus the effect of Ionized Water on your body will be different than it was on mine. It will depend on your historical diet and your current diet, how much water your currently drink, how much you exercise, how stressful your life is and how much medicine you both historically and currently take.

Scientific Evidence

There is not a lot of hard scientific evidence concerning Ionized Water for simple reasons. Scientific evidence, real scientific evidence, is expensive and difficult to recoup costs. The Japanese have done many studies on Ionized Water but they are not willing to release them plus the translation would be costly. However, ionization itself is not a great mystery and a great deal is known about what happens when water is ionized. Fundamentally, ionization causes a transfer of electrons between molecules, which is on the surface quite a simple process, however is very complicated upon deeper investigation. The articles below shed light on the ionization process and what makes water so valuable to the human body.
