Health

Today’s thoughts come from something that is bothering me. I watch very little television and only positive television programs are turned on in my home. The 3 channels I do watch are:

Three Angels Broadcasting

PBS

CNBC Business

I was exercising yesterday and I had seen the programs on the spiritual channel 3ABN so I tuned in to see what was happening in the business world. Something really disturbs me about the advertising of Nutrisystem and the claims they make. The claims are that you can lose weight and lower your blood sugar. My question is for how long with their system and approach. Is it a permanent change? My beliefs and education tend to think the Nutrisystem plan is a temporary solution. Do you want a permanent solution?

Whole Wellness Club offers a permanent solution. Dr. Chappell is our spokesperson and is a 39 year veteran Naturopathic Doctor. He recommends going to your local grocery store or farmers market and buying organic fruits and vegetables. If you cannot buy organic, buy regular produce and thoroughly wash the plants.

The permanent solution is that the plants are living with nutrients, minerals, enzymes, and vitamins. Your body will get the nutrition you need from the fruits, vegetables, nuts, whole grains, and legumes. You cannot get fat on a vegetarian diet if you eat the right amount of food. Your body will signal that you are full when it has the nutrients from the living food from plants.

Nutrisystem is teaching you a temporary fix with the same kind of unhealthy foods that the overweight person has been consuming. You cannot  make a permanent change buying cookies, muffins, brownies, pasta, and cakes. The same amount of money you spend on one month of Nutrisystem will supply you with the best organic fruits, vegetables, nuts, whole grains, and legumes for 2 months.

Studies have shown that a vegetarian diet lowers blood sugar, reverses heart disease, and will help you lose weight when incorporated with an exercise program that includes a 30 minute daily walk. Drinking one half  your ideal body weight in ounces of pure water each day will also help you lose weight.

Stroke is one of the leading causes of death. Be aware of the warning signs and learn how to prevent strokes.

1. Severe headache with no known cause.
2. Dizziness, trouble walking, and loss of balance or coordination.
3. Loss of vision in one or both eyes.
4. Confusion or trouble understanding or speaking.
5. Weakness or numbness of the face, arm or leg-especially on one side of the body.

Systemic Enzymes are powerful enzymes that clean plaque from the arteries and help prevent stroke. Whole Wellness Club has the best systemic enzymes on the market today. Our Peak Systemic Enzymes ‘Without’ a Meal have Serrapeptase and Nattokinase which are powerful cleansers of the blood. To find out more about preventing stroke and the Peak Enzymes, go to my website now: Peak Enzymes

Whole Wellness Club has several recorded conference calls available to listen to the benefits of systemic enzymes. Our formulator Troy Aupperle has climbed all 7 of the world’s highest mountain peaks on all 7 continents.

Troy is the CEO of Enzymology Research Inc. located in Minnesota. Troy wants as many people in the world to learn about Peak Enzymes and how your health can be drastically improved.

Hydrotherapy has been used for hundreds of years to treat illness. According to Wikipedia: “Hydrotherapy, formerly called hydropathy involves the use of water for pain-relief and treating illness.” Here is a great and free way to help your liver detox. Get a hot towel and a cold towel and lay down on your left side. Place the hot towel on your liver which is below the right breast area. Leave the hot towel on for 3 minutes. Remove the hot towel and now place the cold towel in the same spot for 1 minute. Alternate treatment for about 15 minutes or so and your liver will expel toxins.

If Jesus was alive today and healing people like HE did over 2,000 years ago, he would be arrested. Due to government regulations, our nation has a sickness business. That sickness business is run by the FDA which is the Food and Drug Administration. The FDA is a big machine that is charged to regulate our food and medicine. Big pharmaceutical companies have vested interest in this sickness business we have now. We do have an option though if you don’t want to go the traditional way of healing which consists of pharmaceutical drugs, radiation, chemotherapy, and the allopathic approach to health.

Ever since Hippocrates practiced medicine on this earth, which was 460 BC or over 2,400 years ago, natural healing has been an option. Hippocrates used herbs to cure people. He knew about ‘sweet urine disease’ which is diabetes. Hipporcrates used anecdotal evidence then as his patients reported what worked on their ailments. Listen to Dr. Chappell talk about this subject here: Natural Healing

Our nation is now under attack. The FDA now wants to limit naturopathic health businesses and the use of patients testimonials. Sabot is the root of the latin word sabotage. A Sabot is a person that has a vested interest in moving people away from the truth. These Sabots are attacking those of us in the naturopathic health business. These people are agents of the big pharmaceutical industry and they ask questions to create doubt. The typical question is: “Do you have documented clinical evidence to support your claims?” Because the big pharmaceutical industry can afford these long and exhaustive studies with placebos and control studies, they ask the same question of natural health companies because if we can get people well, big pharma loses.

The truth is that human beings need nutrients to survive. If a sick person begins using some of the suggestions we in the naturopathic health business promote, the sick person can start to recover. The body knows how to heal itself. One of the main health problems is people are not drinking enough water. We show people how to move their body towards health. By watching what you eat and drink, your body can begin to heal itself.

Here is a 90 year old study that big pharma hates: Jack LaLanne has been sharing how he is vibrant and active in his 90’s. He is still on television showing a juice machine. He juices vegetables. Vegetables are a natural substance. Hiromi Shinya, MD of Japan, states in his book: “The Enzymes Factor” that enzymes can cure cancer and heart disease. We don’t have the right to say that in the USA. We need to take our nation back now.

I choose Natural Healing. Eleven years ago, I quit smoking. I started exercising. I lost over 60 pounds and am very close to my ideal body weight. I drink a gallon of distilled water each day. I exercise each day. I eat no animal products. My diet is the Bible diet of fruits, legumes, nuts, vegetables, and whole grains. I use several health supplements from naturopathic health companies. I feel great today. I would be dead if I had not moved in the direction I went when my health was on the line in 1994. PRAISE GOD !

Dr. Harvey Wiley

Learned something new this week while participating in the best home based business in the world. Dr. Harvey Wiley was a chemist who lived between 1844 – 1930. Dr. Wiley served in the Union Army during the Civil War. He then completed college at Indiana Medical College as a Medical Doctor. Dr. Wiley served his country as the First Commissioner of the US Food and Drug Administration.

Dr. Wiley provided leadership and helped pass the landmark Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906. Dr. Wiley knew one hundred years ago that preservatives in food and drugs in sodasĀ are bad for the human body. Dr. Wiley’s work continues today as many Naturopathic Doctors understand that eating processed foods and drinking soda and coffee is not healthy for the human body.

Dr. John Tilden

Dr. Tilden was the son of a physician. He studied at Eclectic Medical Institute in Cincinnati, Ohio and graduated in 1872. Dr. TildenĀ earned a Degree of Doctor of Medicine. He practiced in Illinois and St. Louis before relocating to Denver, Colorado.

Dr. Tilden studied the body and how to keep the body free of disease. He specialized in Toxemia and how to rid the body of toxic poison. He wrote a book titled “Toxemia Exposed”. Dr. Tilden is a hero for those of us that believe in Natural Healing. Our world is more toxic now in the 21st century and we owe a debt of gratitude for Dr. Tilden’s research and practice.

I am keeping the soft tissues of my body clean with VelociTea. I am a founding member of the Whole Wellness Club and we believe that detoxifying the body is a fundamental health principle. You can go to my website below and get a free sample of VelociTea to help you detox.

Are you drinking coffee and soda every day? Did you know that your body is craving water. Our body is 70 percent water. All your cells need water to work properly. The immune system needs water. If you are not drinking enough water, your immune system weakens and you will be prone to illness.

Sugar is another issue in regard to your health. Sugar weakens the immune system as well. Ever notice how some people never get sick and others are getting the next cold or flu bug going around? More than likely, that person is drinking sodas loaded with sugar and caffeine. Caffeine also weakens your immune system.

A tip if you want to make that change and move towards a healthier body. Slowly decrease your intake of caffeine. I did when I quit coffee and soda in 2000. I was doing a pot of coffee at home and then had some when I was out in social settings. I cut my consumption down by one fourth and in four weeks, I was caffeine free. Same principle applies with sugar. I eat a pear for my dessert at supper every night and it satisfies because of the natural sugar.

A friend sent me this video earlier today about Water. It is about 80 minutes long but worth the time spent.

Water

The record heat we had this summer has created a bumper crop of broccoli, chard, corn, green beans, peppers, and yukon gold potatoes. It takes all I have physically to keep up with harvest. I can post articles on my blog more frequently after the harvest is over.

I was thinking about a statement our Naturopathic Doctor James Chappell recently stated. He leads us on a weekly health series called “Know Your Options”. He said that ONLY SICK PEOPLE GET SICK. Here are the main points to stay healthy so you won’t get sick:

1. Be careful about what  you eat. Your body needs nutrients from plant based foods.
2. Make sure you are drinking one half your ideal body weight in water each day.
3. Get daily exercise and sunshine. The fresh air and movement helps the blood circulate through the body.
4. Get proper sleep
5. Avoid alcohol and tobacco

I have not been sick in years. I follow the above principles to the best of my ability. In the summer, I am outside most of the time. In the winter, I like to go ice skating. I put on my hiking boots all year and go for a 40 minute walk to the river early in the morning to stimulate the blood and keep the weight off.

Had a great summer Sunday on 16. August 2009 and went to a picnic on Lake Padden in Whatcom County, Washington. I decided to do some observing and will share some thoughts about a serious problem we all face in the world today.

People like to grill meat outside in the summer. They also like to eat potato chips and other food items that are loaded with sugar like cake, pies, chocolate and candy. I noticed that people that were overweight were eating hot dogs, hamburgers, and chips. They also went back for seconds. Why are they needing to eat so much?

The reason is nutrition. Our body tells us we are hungry when in fact we are starving for nutrients. You cannot get nutrition from eating dead animal products that are loaded with nitrates. The body needs nutrients that fresh fruit, vegetables, nuts, legumes, and whole grains have. This group of overweight people also were drinking sodas all day. Soda has acid in it. Just read the label. This acid causes disease over time. So the overweight group of people are eating dead food with no nutrition and then they drink a beverage loaded with acid. This is inviting serious illness into the body. Time will tell.

There was another group of people that chose the vegetable platters and salads. The people eating these foods were proper weight. They also were drinking water. I did not see any of these people continually going back for seconds and thirds. This tells me that their bodies were getting nutrients from the food they ate.

Most of the people that ate the unhealthy food sat on the ground or in their chairs and enjoyed being outside on such a nice summer day. The lake is very scenic and we worship the outdoors here in Washington in the summer. I asked if anyone wanted to play softball and not one of the overweight crowd came along. We managed to get a softball game going with the younger people and several folks in their 50’s who have taken care of themselves. I fall into that later category and do exercises each morning to stay in shape and to be able to run on short notice. Hamstring stretches are wise to do all year as well as sit-ups and push ups.

How can we get the word out to the group that is overweight that eating dead animals that have nitrates in the food is unhealthy? How can we tell them that drinking several cans of acidic soda each day will ruin their health?

HEALTH = MAXIMUM NUTRITION / MINIMUM CALORIES

Learned some more simple ideas for people that are either current or former cancer patients. Try Natural Healing before doing Chemotherapy because your cancer could be reduced if you eliminate the cause. Chemotherapy can destroy your bodies immune system. Natural Healing is safer and works towards eliminating the conditions in which the cancer thrives. If you are dehydrated and not having a bowel movement shortly after each meal you eat each day, you are toxic. If you are eating a typical American diet of animal products loaded with fat, your blood glucose levels are too high and cancer thrives in sugar. You also are probably minerally deficient on that typical American diet.

1) Detoxify the body with colon and soft tissue cleansing tea

2) Hydrate the body with alkaline water that has a negative ionic charge

3) Remineralize the body with alkaline balance complete whole foods minerals

4) Moderate your blood glucose levels with Cinnamon Six

You can learn more at my Naturopathic Health Products website.

More and more people are asking what is the advantage of drinking alkaline water that has a negative ionic charge? Real Water Concentrate is a product that will make your own water a negative charge and bring the alkalinity up to at least 8.5 on a pH scale. I found some of the most common responses that Dr. Chappell has mentioned and will share them here:

1) Penetrates cell membranes and removes toxins while hydrating your cells
2) Neutralizes Chlorine and negative ions neutralize free radicals so there is an anti-oxidant property
3) Assists body in detoxification process
4) Makes your water taste better
5) Helps deliver nutrients to your cells
6) Helps increase Alkalinity level in your body
7) Your own water becomes premium water by using the Concentrate
8) Treat over 7.5 gallons with one four ounce bottle of the Concentrate
9) Portable as you can take the little bottle anywhere you go
10) You do not have to spend thousands of dollars on an expensive machine that may not hold its negative charge for more than a day

I have been using the Real Water Concentrate for almost one year. Every evening, I treat some twice filtered well water in containers that I refrigerate with an eye dropper full of the concentrate.

We had another excellent call last night with the Whole Wellness Club’s spokesperson Dr. Chappell. He covered a broad range of interesting topics including Microwave ovens. Microwave ovens radiate your food and cause a shift in the polarity of cells in your food. This process destroys the water soluble nutrients. Minerals, vitamins, and nutrients are altered into cancerous free radicals. The end result is a rapid increase in colon cancer in America.

You can do a blood analysis and you will see that your blood has carcinogenic and toxic cells after your blood has processed foods that have been microwaved. I am selling my microwave and eating raw or steamed vegetables and fruits.

Growing an organic garden takes work. You have to remove weeds without chemicals. It is also a good idea to turn the soil twice a year. I am throwing all of my compost waste into the garden bed.

It is nice to look at the yard and garden and be almost weed free. Pulling weeds by hand is a good form of exercise. I have some cultivating tools that help in areas where you don’t need to worry about hurting either seed germination or beautiful flower roots.

One thing is certain though. With the long summer days now here (daylight here from 04:00 until 22:00 right now), everything grows quickly including weeds. I will be back in the garden on Sunday pulling any new weeds that appear. When we go into our dry season, the weeds also slow down their growth.

25. May 2009

Just finished the sixth day of working outside on the small farm here in Northwest Washington. Funny thing is when I think I am almost caught up, I start seeing new weeds in the vegetable garden that will need to be pulled. It is so important in the spring to make sure my crops get a good healthy head start and stay away from those pesky little weeds.

After a long winter of sitting at my desk and working on websites and internet marketing, I am feeling the past six days of long hours out on the farm. It is a good thing that I have been faithful with my walking, stretching, and yoga every morning except for the Sabbath Day! It makes the transition to the summer season of work outside easier.

Fresh air and sunshine are great for our health. We need to get more of both in today’s stressful world.

Just got in from a wet evening of planting bush beans. I have learned over time that getting seeds sown in loose soil is really important. A few years ago I was so excited to have some land and go back to gardening. It takes many hours of work to keep your soil free of weeds. The great thing about planting time is once you have your soil ready, you just have to sow the seed and God does the rest. I will have to do some weeding and watering when we go into our dry season but God provides the sun and some rain.

Still eating organic green beans that were harvested last summer. I have something to take to all the potlucks I go to at church or other meetings.

Our company spokesperson Dr. James Chappell made a comment on a recent conference call. Dr. Jim has 38 years of experience in the naturopathic field. He said that America has a disease and illness care system. It is called a health care system. Doctors treat symptoms and patients end up in a squirrel cage. If the underlying reasons for the person’s sickness is not addressed, the patient will never get well. If you really want to take care of your health, you need to follow a simple regimen:

1) Detoxify the body
2) Hydrate the body with alkaline water with a negative ionic charge
3) Eat a diet that consists of fruits, vegetables, nuts, and whole grains and stay away from fast and processed foods
4) Get exercise and sunshine daily
5) Get proper amount of rest daily
