The inability to heal from whatever illness or disease that
is manifest can come from eating depleted or marginally depleted
foods. Sub Clinical nutritional deficiencies can make complete
healing impossible.
Why Can't I Just Take A Supplement?
The taking of nutritional supplements, we have been told will
fill these deficiencies. Yes, they can be helpful if they are
derived Of natural ingredients, not synthetic chemicals, not
full of fillers and binders and little nutrition.
This has been my observation: The QUALITY of the nutritional
supplements varies greatly today. Most of supplementation today
is poor quality.
I saw someone the other day that tested to need some zinc.
However in testing (Applied Kinesiology) his Zinc that he brought
with him, he would have needed four or five tablets per day.
They were not small tablets and the zinc itself in the tablets
was not a mega dose. So this means that he was swallowing a lot
of filler substance. The kicker here is that he is a nutritional
consultant, but does not understand about the differences in
quality it seems!
I suggest that you find a qualified professional who watches
quality of his/her products and is aware of that taking poor
quality supplements can actually deplete your body of nutrition
and vitality, trying to process the poor nutrition, fillers and
binders of the supplements. Your health suffers.
So What Else to Do?
Unless you have severe Colon problems, increase your vegetable
and fruit consumption. Eat a variety. I can not give an exact
diet for every one here, but try this: Make half of what you
eat Vegetables with two or more pieces of fruit added. Cooking
depletes the food of enzymes,so make sure to have a good portion
of these fruits and vegetables raw.
When possible buy organic produce. These foods usually contain
a higher amount of Vitamins and Minerals that we need in our
diet than the food we buy at the grocery store. The organic producers
are are trying to rebuild the soil and are careful about putting
harmful herbicides and pesticides on their products and in the
fields.
When you eat your foods in their more natural form, your body
chooses what it needs for rebuilding and balancing, from the
chemistry of the food.
Do add good source of oils in your diet from such things as
olive oil, flaxseed Oil, almond oil and most other oils found
in the Health foodstore. However do not use Canola Oil, or Rapeseed
as it is sometimes called, no matter if it is found in the Health
Food Store. More on that another time.
What not to eat and drink
First, cut down on your junk food and then move into making it
a treat instead of a daily thing. The lightened load from removing
the chemicals, dyes, fats and sugars from your diet will help
immensely.
Coffee - here goes folks! Drinking four cups of coffee per
day depletes the body of calcium. It is an acid and the body
must pull Calcium out of the bones to buffer the acids. Cut way
back in your Coffee consumption.
Water from the tap.
Most of our water today is filled with chemicals including floride.
It is better to buy a water filter or reverse osmosis water purifier.
By the way, some of the plastic from the
bottled water you buy at the stores can leach into the water
creating problems. It is better to buy food grade water containers.
Usually blue tinted And a little harder plastic than the soft
white ones.
How Much Water Should I Drink?
And as a side note, drink about 1 quart of water for 50 pounds
of weight. This helps flush the poisons and toxins out as your
body starts to do some housecleaning.
Better Food And Plenty Of Water
Leads To Better Health
In following what I have outlined, you may begin to heal fully.
It certainly can only help and do no harm.This may take some
time. The body usually will begin to do some housecleaning once
it gets better vitality and is not having to use it's energy
to get rid of the poisons and toxins and deal with the low vitality
of the poor quality food.
Healing Episodes
Along the way, you may go through a healing episode.Not
everyone does. You may have mild episodes of illnesses you have
experienced before, mild Flu like symptoms. If you look in the
mirror, you will notice that your eyes remain clear and bright.
Usually your mental clarity does not take a dip, as it does when
you are not well.
The symptoms regress on their own and you will emerge on the
other side, with a sense of wellness that you did not have before.
You keep this level of health by continuing the better diet.
Some of the clients that see me sheepishly admit that when they
go back to eating their old style, they notice not feeling nearly
as well.
The results of a better diet is easy for most people to see,
once they have cleared out the poisons and toxins and have gotten
used to the better food. Your body will thank you with more vitality
and better health!
