Nutrition Is the Key to Health

Why is a fast food meal of a hamburger, french fries and a sugar soda known as a Happy Meal?

Are the tens of millions of people that eat fast foods really happy?

The latest reports are that over 70 percent of North Americans are either overweight or obese.

I saw a man eating fast food in his economy car  today. His stomach was so large that it barely fit in the front seat when the man sat down in the driver’s side of the car! The steering wheel was touching his shirt.

I was overweight myself from 1994 until 1999. I ate what is known as the SAD diet ( Standard American Diet ). A typical day for me was having a pot of caffeinated coffee in the morning with sugary donuts or cereal that was sweetened by the manufacturer.

For lunch I would eat either bologna sandwiches or go to a fast food restaurant and have fried chicken, hamburgers or tacos. I drank sugar sodas and always ate desserts that may be part of employee picnics or events.

My supper was often spaghetti and meatballs or ordering a pizza. My body was not getting any nutrition so even though I was eating a large amount of food everyday, I was not getting the nourishment I needed for good health. I would get sleepy in the afternoon and not understand why I could be hungry only 90 minutes after eating a big lunch. The hunger signs were being sent by my body that the nutrients it needed for health were lacking.

What happened and how did I make a major change in what I ate and what I started doing to properly feed myself?

Sometimes a bad event can actually kick start a human in a better direction or path. In 1999, I met a group of people that were hiking up some small mountains in Southern New Hampshire. I had quit smoking the year before and realized I had gained about 70 pounds from years of eating a poor diet. I started hiking everyday and began to gradually modify what I put in my mouth.

In 2002, I had to attend some physical therapy sessions a couple of times a week after injuring my lower back from working at Alaska Airlines in Seattle, Washington. I was in my middle 40’s and realized that I had better take better care of myself. I have been using many of the exercises I learned from those therapy sessions ever since and am proud to say that I have some firm and tone muscles even though I am even older now. The 70 pounds of excess weight went away rapidly in 2000 and I have been eating a vegetarian diet since. I am almost a vegan. Giving up wild Alaska seafood was very hard for me so I still enjoy some cod, halibut or salmon about once a month.

In 2010, I was introduced to a powerful organic greens product that is grown in volcanic soil. The product gives the body dense nutrients and I have felt the extra energy ever since I started using Caldera Greens. The organic Alfalfa, Barley, Oat and Wheat grasses are grown in Utah on a caldera that is rich in fulvic acid, enzymes, and minerals. The company that markets the product also included some sea vegetation and spirulina to make the greens a very powerful super food.

How to Be Energetic with a Real Happy Meal

There are several ways people use the Caldera Greens. I have made tropical fruit smoothies every morning since 2010. I make enough for a large smoothie in the morning for breakfast and one for my lunch. The nutrition is so powerful that you can even replace your meals with the smoothies. I then have a sensible supper that includes some steamed fresh organic vegetables and some whole grains.

If you are ready for a change and want to give your body some powerful nutrition, you can take the money you spend on Happy Meals at a fast food restaurant and redirect that cash to purchase a 250 gram container of Caldera Greens. Just think about this math. If you spend $5 a day on eating lunch at a fast food restaurant and multiply that by 20 work days in a month, you come up with $100. One canister of our Organic Greens shipped to your door is only $51. So you could actually replace the money spent out on fast foods, sugary sodas and coffee and easily have enough to provide your body with some powerful nutrients. Read some of the testimonials that people have shared with me.

Testimonials

Diane in Ontario, Canada shared that she can now get out and walk for a longer time with her dog since she started using the Caldera Greens. She had been injured in a car wreck and had suffered some pain. Diane is enjoying being more active and working in her garden.

Judy in Wisconsin remarked that are digestive system is working much better. A close friend remarked about her complexion being so clear. Judy is very happy with the healthy glow her skin has now!

He is up at 05:00 every morning and lives an active lifestyle that includes daily physical activity like cycling, golf, hiking, walking, weight-bearing exercises, and yoga. Before using Caldera Greens, Daniel would get sleepy about an hour after lunch. His day is full and he can work well into the evening on websites and blog articles.

What Are You Eating Every Day ?

Just read that over 65 percent of the food consumed in North America is processed foods.

That means around 2 out of 3 people are not eating the foods that have the nutrition our body needs.

Processed foods have been stripped of many nutrients and harmful additives have been added in to make the food taste ‘better’.

Another statistic to think about is that over 40 percent of food eaten is consumed in a vehicle.

I remember when there were very few fast food restaurants. Our grandparents often took us out to Morrison’s cafeteria back in the 1960’s. The cafeteria had a wide selection of foods including meats, fish, fruits, vegetables, bread, and dessert. You went through a serving line and built a plate as you passed through the heated trays that held the food.

In 1900, one out of ten people in our nation would get cancer. By 2000, one out of three people would be affected by cancer in their lifetime. In just a couple of more years, one out of two  people will experience cancer in their lifetime.

Is there a direct correlation between what we put in our mouths and the disease epidemics that our nation now faces?

Our bodies are wonderfully made. If you want to move towards a healthier diet and lifestyle, just stop eating processed foods and fast foods that lack nutrition. If you are eating food that has a nutrition label, you may want to rethink whether or not to keep eating those kinds of foods that are labeled. Have you ever seen a nutrition label on an apple or a carrot?

Phytonutrients

Fruits and Vegetables have many nutrients that promote vitality and good health. Nutrition professionals are still researching phytonutrients and what these natural chemicals that are found in fruits and vegetables do for the human body. If you eat foods that are loaded with greens, you are getting the life blood of the plants which is known as Chlorophyll. Our body uses all of these nutrients to heal and repair cells.

Help People Detox

Welcome to my Help People Detox post about cleansing the body.

Have you ever been sitting at a traffic light or stop sign and you were behind an older vehicle that emits toxic fumes? If you are like me, you try to stop breathing but sooner or later you will have to breathe in some of that carbon dioxide pollution. In my experience, the older diesel vehicles are the worst offenders.

I do live in California and I am able to get outside and exercise just about everyday of the year. When I am out getting my heart rate up on my bicycle or from doing a brisk walk, it disgusts me when I come across one of these heavy polluters. I guess the only hope for me is to move way out into the wilderness and build a log cabin.

Watch my video now where I share how to help people detox!

Toxic Air

From my home office window this afternoon, I could see about 10 chem trails up in the sky. I live in Southern California about 100 miles or so from Los Angeles International Airport. Planes are flying overhead almost 24 hours a day.

Cadmium is released into the air around the clock from fossil fuel burning vehicles.

Yesterday I wanted to sit outside and enjoy some of the middle of the day sunshine and fresh air while waiting for a medical appointment. I was overcome by the smell of cigarette smoke coming from a smoking shelter a few feet away. There are over 400 toxins in cigarette smoke alone.

Toxic Water

Every day I make one gallon of pure distilled water from a machine that I have had ever since I became aware of how toxic the water is. When the 6 hour cycle is over, I let the unit cool down for 20 minutes and then open up the chamber. In the bottom of the stainless steel chamber I see a brown coating and there is also some residue on the sides of the unit. Every thing that is not H2O has been removed and the residues I see are chemicals.

Just finished viewing a journal report from the PBS News Hour about chromium 6 in our water supply.

Public utility testing records reveal more than 70 million Americans are now drinking tap water tainted by chromium 6.

Toxic Food

When I was a child, there was no such thing as genetically modified organisms ( GMO ). In an effort to feed the growing population, agricultural corporations began modifying seeds to try and create crops that would be resistant to pesticides and droughts.

GMO seeds and foods are banned in Europe. Heirloom seeds are in high demand now as people are finding out the effects GMO foods have on their health. Genetically modified foods are less nutritious, more likely to trigger an allergy, and contain higher levels of growth hormones and pesticides.

Every week I hear more stories of cancer, diabetes, and obesity being linked to high fat animal products. Did you know that hot dogs are processed meats that have nitrates?

What Can We Do to Live in This Toxic World?

It is imperative that every person that lives on the face of the earth today have a detox regimen. Even if we have an all organic foods diet and drink only pure water, the air we breathe is still full of toxins.

There is hope!

Health Benefits of Eating Organic Foods

Ever since I started being more discerning about what I put in my mouth, I have been reading food and nutrition labels. I am amazed at all of the added fat, salt and sugar that is added to processed foods. Two phrases that you need to watch out for are: Natural Flavors and High Fructose Corn Syrup. Processed foods are found in boxes, cans, and plastic wrappers. How can we avoid eating processed foods and keep ourselves from gaining weight?

When you walk into most grocery stores here in Santa Barbara, California, the store has a fresh fruit and vegetable section on one side of the store. Most stores have a baked goods section on the opposite end of the store from the produce section. The bakery is where you find your breads and cakes, pies, and donuts.

The middle section of the store is where you will find most of the processed foods. You will see aisles of boxed, canned and packaged foods in the middle of the store. Not all of the packaged foods are processed foods. Case in point is if you are just buying a bag of brown rice or black beans in a plastic wrapper. These foods are healthy for you as there is no added fat, sugar or salt.

Store layouts also have refrigerated sections that contain frozen foods. Many frozen foods are processed. The exception would be fruits and vegetables that are frozen at harvest time by the growers.

Have you ever noticed that the foods in the produce section have no nutritional labels on them? If we eat foods as grown, we will be healthier. Our body is not designed for all of the added flavors, fat, salt and sugars that food manufacturers add to the processed foods.

Genetically modified foods ( GMO ) have become a serious problem in our world. In an attempt to feed the exploding population, agricultural conglomerates have been experimenting with genetically modifying food for decades now. The health problems that result from eating GMO foods is that nutrients are no longer in many of our foods. Our bodies are starving for nutrition and the food is not supplying the required nutrients.

I buy organic produce as much as I can. The reason is that most organic food is not GMO food. I grew a large garden of organic fruits and vegetables every year in my backyard in Washington State when I lived there. Now that I live in Southern California and no longer grow a garden, I shop for organic foods from my local farmers markets and through a company that is based in Dufur, Oregon. I am going to share with you the statements that are made on a 5 pound package of their Organic Steel Cut Oats so you to can also learn about eating from healthy sources.

Azure Farm: Healthy Food from Healthy Soil

Why Organic?

Organic farming protects the water supply, enriches the soil, encourages biodiversity & helps reduce the toxic burden on our bodies and our planet.

Azure farm is located in the foothills east of Mt. Hood, Oregon. This dry-land wheat-farming country produces an abundance of soft white wheat and other grains. Azure Farm has been growing organically for over 40 years, and we use organic soil amendments that will actually improve our soil, and consequently improve the food itself. Organic foods are not genetically modified.

The Story of Azure Farm

In 1971, we changed from commercial farming practices to organic methods on our 2,000 acre dry-land wheat & cattle ranch. We then noticed an improvement in our family’s health.

For years, we sold our organic crops in bulk. Our contacts with other organic farmers have made it possible for us to offer many more organically grown products under the Azure Farm brand. ~The Stelzer Family~

The Unifine Process

In our special unifine mill the grain enters a high speed rotor and is instantly shattered into fine flour. Air goes through the rotor with the grain. This keeps the flour cool through the process, thereby retaining many nutrients destroyed by traditional milling methods.

Unifine flours also stay fresh longer because the oils are kept intact. Use unifine flours for exquisite, fine textured breads, and special treats!

Azure Farm All Organic Products Include:

• Beans
• Cereals
• Dry Milk Products
• Flours
• Grains
• Pancake & Baking Mixes
• Seeds
• Soup Mixes
• Sweeteners

You can check the Azure Farm website to see if you live near a drop point of their delivery trucks that make monthly deliveries to the Western part of the United States. The company also offers UPS shipping for other customers that may live outside of the companies scheduled delivery trips.

Natural Healing Steps for Cancer

Welcome to my Natural Healing Steps for Cancer blog post.

It seems like everyday now I hear about someone I personally know or read about a social media connection that has been diagnosed with cancer. One hundred years ago, one in ten people would be diagnosed with cancer. In 2013, one out of two people will deal with cancer in their lifetime. What happened?

In 1910, Americans consumed about 4 pounds of sugar every year. Many people had jobs that required physical exertion. Many people had small farms and just about everyone that didn’t live in the cities grew gardens of fresh fruits and vegetables. There were no processed foods. People cooked 3 meals at home each day.

Families ate breakfast and dinner together. I even remember working hard on my neighbor’s farm one day when I was about 12 years old. We had a large breakfast and then went out and worked on fencing.

My neighbor’s grandmother called us in at noon to eat a hot plate of vegetables and meatloaf with some homemade cornbread. Of course we had some apple pie for dessert. Those three square home cooked meals were much better as far as providing the body with nutrients than the fast food meals people consume today.

In today’s world, people consume about 4 pounds of sugar every single week. I have seen people eat the following food in a 24 hour period:

Breakfast was grabbed at a donut shop. Before I lost 70 pounds in 2000 and began my quest for better health, I really liked grabbing some maple bars and a large cup of coffee for breakfast.

Lunch was a Double Burger with french fries and a large soda.

Supper was a pizza delivered to your home so you could sit on the couch and watch sports.

I have left out any reference to any specific business or brand name to prevent any slander or backlash from people that may own stock in companies that are in the fast food industry.

I am upset. People get trapped into this hurry up fast paced environment and get addicted to all the fat, salt, and sugar that is in fast foods and in processed foods. The end result is disease and illness. A long time Naturopathic Doctor that I know states that People don’t catch or get Cancer, Diabetes, or Heart Disease. They earn these diseases through lifestyle choices.

The next step most people take once they are diagnosed with Cancer, Diabetes and Heart Disease is a trip to the family doctor. Many doctors are excellent health care providers. I do not want to slander or demeanor the medical profession in anyway. I just want to voice my concern.

Natural Healing Steps for Cancer is a way for cancer patients to learn everything they can to help themselves deal with the diagnosis.

I personally know Doctors that will not have anything to do with medical conventions or trips that are sponsored by the Pharmaceutical Drug Industry. There was a report on tonight’s PBS News Hour about how Doctors are given meals and entertained at places like Hooters by marketers from the Pharmaceutical Drug Industry.

Pharmaceutical drugs treat the underlying symptoms of disease and illness. Many of these drugs are toxic. The drugs will cause further harm to your health. Getting to the root cause of what made a person get a disease is the solution. The best diagnosis is to prescribe a total lifestyle change. If done gradually right away, the body many times has the ability to reverse these illnesses.

Are You Ready to Reach Your Ideal Body Weight?

When I am working with people and coaching them to better health, the very first principle that I share is that we will reach our goal if we never give up! It took me many years to pack on 70 extra pounds.

I had my moment of clarity in 2000 when I was sitting in the lunch room at Alaska Airlines. I was in my 40’s and enjoyed eating all kinds of foods that were not conducive to good health. Many of these foods have excitotoxins in them. The food manufacturers know the way to increase sales of unhealthy food is to add natural flavors and fat, salt, and sugar to their processed foods.

I didn’t like all of the excess baggage on my body. What a concept! A baggage handler with excess baggage.

Alaska Airlines was always bringing in anniversary cakes for employees reaching 5, 10, 15, 20 and more years of service to the company. Someone was always bringing in a dozen donuts. So sugary junk food was all around. We all worked hard loading and unloading the airplanes and when we had a break, many of us would eat food that was not healthy.

I no longer wanted to be sick and tired and decided that I was going to start exercising and follow a diet loaded with beans, fruits, legumes, nuts, seeds and vegetables.

Instead of eating cereal that had added sugars for breakfast, I began eating oatmeal and a grapefruit each morning. When someone brought in donuts or cake, I passed. My reward was seeing my pants get lose and having more energy each day!

The 70 pounds disappeared in 6 months. Daily 30 minute walks have become a regular habit for me. The time I spend exercising each day is the best time in my day. I walk 18 holes of golf each week and that is a reward for being in shape in my middle 50’s!

You have an advantage over me. There is a program that has web based videos showing you how to do some upper and lower body workouts for just 10-12 minutes a day to help you burn many calories each day. Your metabolism will increase and your body will burn fat even while sitting at a computer!

The principle is using the concept that reaching momentary muscular failure in 12 repetitions is just as effective as sitting in a gym for an hour or more doing 3 sets of exercises. By lifting a weight that fatigues your muscle in 12 reps, you can drastically reduce the amount of time necessary to achieve the desired result. Go to my website now to see the series of videos!

Let Me In to See 7 Minute Workout

Hope we can all help people that are sick and tired of being overweight! You are worth it! You will feel better! Get started Today!

4 Ways to Turn Good Posture Into Less Back Pain

Most of us get back pain at some point in our lives. It may be due to a sports-related injury, an accident, or a congenital condition such as scoliosis. But most of the time, upper or lower back pain develops during the course of day-to-day life. Repetitive activities at work or home, such as sitting at a computer or lifting and carrying, may produce tension and muscle tightness that result in a backache.

Fortunately, there is much we can do to prevent this sort of problem. General physical fitness and a healthy weight are important. But one surprisingly simple strategy can go a long way: Paying attention to your posture.

The Basics of Posture

Posture is the way you hold your body while standing, sitting, or performing tasks like lifting, bending, pulling, or reaching. If your posture is good, the bones of the spine — the vertebrae — are correctly aligned.

4 Steps Toward Good Posture

You can improve your posture — and head off back pain — by practicing some imagery and a few easy exercises.

Imagery

Think of a straight line passing through your body from ceiling to floor (your ears, shoulders, hips, knees, and ankles should be even and line up vertically). Now imagine that a strong cord attached to your breastbone is pulling your chest and rib cage upward, making you taller. Try to hold your pelvis level — don’t allow the lower back to sway. Think of stretching your head toward the ceiling, increasing the space between your rib cage and pelvis. Picture yourself as a ballerina or ice skater rather than a soldier at attention.

Shoulder blade squeeze. Sit up straight in a chair with your hands resting on your thighs. Keep your shoulders down and your chin level. Slowly draw your shoulders back and squeeze your shoulder blades together. Hold for a count of five; relax. Repeat three or four times.

Upper-body stretch. Stand facing a corner with your arms raised, hands flat against the walls, elbows at shoulder height. Place one foot ahead of the other. Bending your forward knee, exhale as you lean your body toward the corner. Keep your back straight and your chest and head up. You should feel a nice stretch across your chest. Hold this position for 20–30 seconds. Relax.

Arm-across-chest stretch. Raise your right arm to shoulder level in front of you and bend the arm at the elbow, keeping the forearm parallel to the floor. Grasp the right elbow with your left hand and gently pull it across your chest so that you feel a stretch in the upper arm and shoulder on the right side. Hold for 20 seconds; relax both arms. Repeat to the other side. Repeat three times on each side.

Practice these imagery and posture exercises throughout the day. You might try to find a good trigger to help you remember, such as doing one or more of them when you get up from your desk, or right before scheduled breaks and lunch. Soon it will become a habit.

Back in 2002, I suffered disc herniation while working in the airline business. For many years now, I have been continuing physical therapy exercises that I learned after the industrial injury. What helps me the most is a daily 30 minute walk. I have not missed a walk in many years.

Eight Places on Body to Use Tapping

The human body has much energy running through the cells. Our bodies are ‘electric’. For over 5,000 years, energy therapy has been used in Eastern cultures.

Learning how to use your fingertips and tap on the eight meridian points in the body is very beneficial to people seeking drug free solutions to their distress.

Tapping is an excellent way to help people with physical or emotional problems. All you need to begin using tapping is a few minutes. There is no cost involved. You may want to research some videos and learn from people that have researched tapping and the benefits you can expect!

Natural healing solutions are available to everyone and are growing in popularity as people can get relief from distress without having to take pharmaceutical drugs. You should always consult your medical provider and follow their advice.  Here is the list of tapping points:

1. Top of the Head

2. Between the Eyes

3. Side of the Eyes

4. Under the Eyes

5. Under the Nose

6. Cleft of the Chin

7. Collar Bone

8. Under the Arms

I will share more natural healing therapies as I learn more myself. I have used an Avazzia Bio Feedback Electric Stimulation device to help relieve discomfort from some old joint injuries that I sustained when I was much younger. Star Trek medicine is here and keeping up with the latest advances in healing is a passion of mine. 

Full Nerve Conductivity

What are the benefits of Chiropractic Treatment?

Is Chiropractic Treatment Safe?

If you are like me, you probably have asked yourself the above questions. Ever since I sustained a serious low back injury in 2002, I have sought out equipment and therapies that will help me deal with the low back pain. Knowing that the Whole Wellness Club has a weekly call featuring a Naturopathic Doctor and former Chiropractor Doctor available for health questions, I decided to ask him to explain the basics of how Chiropractic treatment can help people improve their health.

Dr. Jim is available to take your health questions on Wednesday nights at 7pm Pacific time. We have phone lines that you can dial in from most major cities in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom and Australia. Just go to the website here and find the city closest to you.

Instant Teleseminar

Use that number to access the call. Enter conference ID # 530312 and the # sign and you will be on our call. You can ask a question by selecting *2 on your keypad. If you have background noise, mute yourself or select *6.

On a recent Ask Dr. Jim Call, I asked Dr. James Chappell about the purpose of getting the spine adjusted at a Chiropractor. You can listen to the call from the link below.

Ask Dr. Jim

Full nerve conductivity is a result of having proper spinal alignment. When we are out of alignment, we can have loss of function in various parts of our bodies including our organs.

When you hear or feel a pop in your neck or back, nitrogen gas is coming out of the ligaments in your body in the area being adjusted. I experience this several times each time I go to a chiropractic appointment.

Why God Created the Sabbath Day

It used to be that television stations would play the national anthem and sign off sometime after midnight. No more. These days the wee hours are filled with programming. Anyone up at those hours can be pummeled with unending news, weather, and/or infomercial pitches for gadgets you never knew you needed. Even in small cities, giant superstores are open round the clock. Increasingly, we live in a 24/7 world.

And business hours are busier than ever. Multitasking is the name of everyone’s game. Even on the road, you can take or make phone calls, message your uncle in Spokane, check on stock prices, be updated on the news, learn the scores in yesterday’s rugby match in New Zealand, and download music or video on your iPhone, Blackberry, or Netbook.

For many of us, eight-hour days at the office have become every-waking-hour days where the office, business, and the world invade our homes. But sooner or later we come to the realization that we need rest– not total inactivity, but a change of pace. A change from endless concerns about this hour’s stock prices and next quarter’s bottom line . . . to things both timeless and eternal. A change, yes, to love, and family, and our place in the universe. Socrates said “The unexamined life is not worth living,” and increasingly we know this to be true. We work and plan, strive and acquire, but to what end? So long as we allow ourselves to be mesmerized by the streams of data that fill the air all around us like an invisible smog, we will not pause and contemplate the truly important issues.

It’s come to the point where business publications like the Wall Street Journal are calling for—can you believe it?—a return to a Sabbath. A June 15, 2007 editorial, “The Decline of the Sabbath,” by Mollie Ziegler Hemingway put it this way: “The flip side to the prosperity we enjoy is that we have lost our day of rest for another day of consumption. The pace of commerce and technology provide unheard of options for ignoring family, religion and rest—not just on the Sabbath but every day of the week.”*

The Sabbath provides exactly the antidote we need to counter today’s information overload and anxiety disorders. The Sabbath provides a refuge, a rest, a respite from the constant activity and endless barrage of ‘news.’

The Bible tells us that God built our need for rest—and the remedy—into the very fabric of Creation. God “blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it He rested from all the work of creating that He had done.” By resting from all the work that He had done, God provided us with a model, and example. In the Ten Commandments, He makes this example explicit and binding: “Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God.” Note that neither text says, “work six days out of seven, and rest on one.” Rather, it is explicit that the seventh day is the Sabbath. The seventh day, not a seventh day. And that day is Saturday.

Saturday? You may have been taught that Saturday Sabbath was given at Sinai just for the Jews. If that’s true, then ‘not killing’ and ‘not stealing’ would also be just for the Jews. Or you may have heard that the cross ended the claims of the Sabbath. Once again, that would mean we’re free to murder and steal—but no one believes that. You may have been taught that we worship on Sunday in honor of the Lord’s resurrection. Surely that’s an important thing to remember. But the Bible never tells us to remember his resurrection, however, we are told to remember his death (1 Cor. 11:26).

We are told to ‘remember’ his death, a striking parallel to the way the Ten Commandments told us to ‘remember’ the Sabbath. And we discover that the only full day Jesus rested in the tomb was—the Sabbath. Rather than abolishing the Sabbath, Jesus’ death reinforces it. As He had rested from the work of creation on the seventh day of Creation week, Jesus rested from His work of redemption on the seventh day of redemption week (commonly “passion week”).

Of course, most of us don’t like the ideas of “commandments” or “obedience.” But in this case especially, it’s foolish. Imagine if a doctor told you to take a vacation, and then revealed that he had a vacation designed to meet your deepest needs. That’s what the Sabbath is. Jesus himself said, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.” That means that the Sabbath is not some arbitrary hoop for us to jump through—we have enough of those the other six days— but rather it is a rest tailored to meet our needs.

But why not Sunday, or Tuesday? Why Saturday? Remember that the creation story in Genesis told us that “God blessed the seventh day and made it holy?”

What does it mean to “make something holy?” When Moses stood before the burning bush, he stood on holy ground. What made it holy? The presence of God. God makes the Sabbath holy by being present on that day in some special way.

“Wait a minute,” you may say. “Isn’t God present on every day?” And of course, that’s true. But it is also true that God is present everywhere—but Moses didn’t have to remove his shoes everywhere, only at the burning bush. Because, just like the Sabbath, God was present at the burning bush in some way that differs from the way He is present everywhere else. And those who set aside Saturday, the seventh day, to rest from their everyday pursuits and meet with their family and with God can attest that He truly can be experienced in a special way on that day.

If you would like to explore the possibilities of the Sabbath, there are those who live nearby and would be glad to share it with you. You can find out more about this and other interesting and useful information online at GLOW.

Influenza Epidemic

Welcome to my post about the Influenza Epidemic. During the holiday season of 2012, public health officials were reporting a widespread outbreak of influenza in North America.

Large cities like Boston, New York and San Francisco have declared that the flu epidemic has overwhelmed the cities’ hospitals and health clinics.

Have you ever heard someone say: “Did you catch a cold?”

A human being does not catch a cold. What happens is the person that gets sick has a weakened immune system. When these people with a compromised immune system are exposed to a cold or flu virus, their body is not able to fight off the virus.

Every year when the days get shorter in the Northern Hemisphere, people are indoors more and more. Then in the winter when it is cold outside, most people spend the majority of their time indoors. Inside air is not being recirculated and people are breathing in stale air. If one person in the room has a cold or flu virus, the chances of other people in the room getting exposed to that virus rises drastically.

There is a way to survive the Influenza Epidemic. The best way to protect ourselves from getting a severe cold or a case of influenza in the winter is to follow some basic health principles.

1. Wash your hands on a regular basis with hot water and soap.

2. Drink one half your ideal body weight in fluid ounces of pure water everyday. Sodas, coffee and tea do not count towards your water intake. Hydration is fundamental to good health.

3. Get outside and go for a 30 minute walk every day that you can. Breath in fresh air deeply for the entire time you are outside.

4. Eat a healthy diet to give your body plenty of the necessary enzymes, minerals, and vitamins it needs for good health.

5. Get at least 7 hours of sleep a night.

6. Supplement with a natural anti-biotic that will help your body strengthen its immune system. Allisure Allicin Powder is an incredible discovery that was made by Dr. Peter Josling in 2000. Dr. Josling is the owner of the Garlic Centre located in the United Kingdom. Peter discovered a way to stabilize allicin. He captures the health benefits of the chemicals released when processing organic garlic cloves and formulated a powder. The stabilized allicin is then placed in veggie capsules.

There are many testimonials about how the Alli-C has helped people improve their health on my page below:

Alli-C

I have only had one day that I was sick and had a severe cold since 2006 when I began taking one Alli-C veggie capsule a day. I had just returned from tropical Asia with temperatures in the upper 30’s Celsius to freezing cold Washington State and -10 Celsius. My immune system was very weak because I had been up for about 36 hours straight. I was eating airline food so the lack of nutrition and lack of sleep took its toll on my health. I recovered the next day after taking 3 Alli-C capsules on the day I was very sick.

Weight Loss Results

Welcome to my post about Weight Loss Results. Are you ready for the weight loss madness that happens this time of the year? Here we are again. January and a New Year has begun.

Many people make resolutions to get healthier, quit smoking, be kinder, and of course: LOSE WEIGHT.

I have some good news for you and some bad news for people that want to continue eating fast foods. Good news first is that there are many people who have reached their desired or ideal weight that were once overweight. These people took action and changed their lifestyle. These people decided that eating healthy food and to move everyday through walking, riding bicycles, working out in their homes, and engaging in physical activity!

The bad news is that anyone that thinks they can continue to eat fast foods, junk foods, and food loaded with sugar, fat and sodium will continue to fail. I get very upset when I see an online ad for Nutrisystem, Jenny Craig or Weight Watchers saying that you can lose weight on their program by buying hundreds of dollars of their pizza, pasta and chocolate bars. Folks, if nothing changes, nothing changes.

Losing the excess weight is critical to your health. Overweight people age much faster than normal weight people. The heart has to work extra hard to pump blood to all of the tissues in your body.

The reason we eat food is to supply the body with nutrition which acts as fuel. Our body needs fruits, nuts, seeds, vegetables and whole grains. You can buy some healthy fresh organic salads and organic vegetables at the grocery store and pack a healthy lunch to take to work.

Have you already paid a bunch of money to have a gym membership?

I can show you how to exercise right at home with just a few barbells and an exercise ball and achieve the Weight Loss Results you are seeking. Watch my internet based videos showing people how to do some simple weight bearing exercises. Find out more on my site below and watch the videos.

Cancer and Nutrition

Welcome to my Cancer and Nutrition post. Did you know the human body has 50 trillion cells?

One cancer cell that is not destroyed by a healthy immune system will start to divide and produce many more cancer cells rapidly.

Keeping your immune system strong is imperative for your health! Treat your body like an expensive motor vehicle and only put in foods that will boost your immune system! Plant based foods are loaded with phytonutrients and were created by a loving God to be our food.

A good diet consists of plant based foods that have adequate carbohydrates, enzymes, healthy fats, minerals, protein and vitamins to keep the body’s cells healthy. The foods we eat fuel the body. Our body must have pure water for health. The body breaks down the nutrients from plant based foods. The nutrients along with pure water are moved throughout the body to the cells via the blood. When you give the body the right food, you will realize how important Cancer and Nutrition is in regard to living a long and healthy life.

For good health, drink one half of your ideal body weight in fluid ounces of pure water each and everyday. Coffee, tea and soda do not count. Coffee, tea and soda are acidic beverages that do not promote health.

The healthy cells repair tissues in the body as well as keeping the immune system strong to help the body fight off infections. The healthy cells also help the body grow.

White blood cells live for about 10 hours. Red blood cells live about 120 days. In 7 years, our body totally regenerates all the liver cells in the body. Human beings are continually being regenerated with proper nutrition and pure water.

Cancer cells divide and attack the healthy cells. Everyone has a certain amount of cancer cells in their body. Everyone’s immune system is different. When your immune system is strong, the cancer cells are destroyed. The way to keep your bodies immune system strong is to eat healthy foods that are loaded with phytonutrients and drink pure water.

If you are not able to get proper nutrition where you live, you can supplement with a whole food product known as Caldera Greens.
