Chronic diseases caused by imbalance of body functions
Each and
every day our body’s are being continually bombarded with poisonous
toxins; through the food we eat, the water we drink and the air we
breathe.
Fortunately, our body’s have an innate ability to
self-heal and doctor itself. However due to the vast quantities of
toxins in our food, water and the air we breathe our body’s simply
cannot keep up, putting stress on our vital organs such as our kidneys
and liver which can lead to disease.
We are the carer of our own
body’s. This being the case we must take responsibility for the daily
decisions that we make about our health and the food we eat, which will
determine how long or short our lives might be. “We were created to live
LONG and HEALTHY lives” but this is often determined by how we live our
lives from day to day. There are no short cuts or quick and easy routes
to being healthy. It requires you to set health goals, have
determination and most importantly make a commitment to change and
maintain a healthy lifestyle!
It is no secret that the general public
is constantly searching for ways to improve their health and ultimately
the quality of their lives. More and more we are being bombarded with
information (some accurate and some not) concerning weight loss,
avoiding baldness, enhancing energy, reversing cancer and diabetes,
relieving arthritis, eliminating migraines, and a myriad of other health
issues. All this often leads to “Information Overload” which can make
things confusing and often leads to people doing nothing or giving up on
their health because they have no idea what will or what won’t work.
Heart disease and cancer are the 2 top killers in the US.
In
the US each year 39,000 people die due to unnecessary surgery and other
errors in hospitals. 80,000 people die due to other infections in
hospitals and a staggering 106,000 people die due to adverse drug
reactions.
Heart Disease = 652,486 deaths
Cancer = 553,888 deaths
Modern Medicine = 225,000 deaths
In today’s world we are lead to believe that that there is a “Pill for Every Ill”.
“Good health makes a lot of sense but it does not make a lot of dollars”.
Herein lies the problem; “We Are What You Eat”
How
old is your food? In the US food travels between 1500 and 2000 miles
before you get it and it could be at a week old and this is probably no
different in Australia. This brings us to the next question. How much
nutritional value is left in the food by the time you eat it? If you are
lucky you might be getting 40% of its nutrients and this is before it
has been cooked”
Nearly all food that you purchase in and around a
big city has been processed and one of the major problems according to
Charlotte Gerson (founder of the Gerson institute) is the soil that our
food is grown in, and what we do to the soil, air and water. Our soils
are used over and over again, making it nutrient deficient, causing the
soils to become like deserts. The so called fertilizer that agriculture
uses to assist crops to grow these days, is mainly made up of only 3
minerals; Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium. This is fine and good
according to Charlotte, however the problem is that our soil requires
approximately 52 different minerals. This being the case, where is the
Calcium, Manganese, Zinc and the Iron? to name a few she asks? “They’re
Missing!” Consequently if the soil is deficient so are the plants
deficient and weakened and lose their defences and the bugs and disease
comes and attacks them. She says “This is where the chemical companies
step in by providing chemicals, growth stimulants and pesticides”. This
of course makes the chemical companies happy because this allows them to
sell millions and millions of dollars worth of chemicals as a temporary
fix, she says.
If we eat commercial food, we are eating, deficient, toxic food! Consequently
our body’s cannot help but be deficient and toxic unless
we choose to do something about it!
