The bottom line is … if your IMMUNE system is working, you do NOT get sick !

It is as SIMPLE as that … If your Immune system works, you are in a state of vibrant health...  The good news is that your body is continually trying to reach a state of homeostasis (balance) and good health, but due to the factors written below, is often severely compromised in its attempts.

Do you think it is OK to get ill?  Are you aware that ill-health is affecting more and more people, at a younger and younger age?  Most people I meet seem to accept this disastrous state of affairs as NORMAL !!  It is NOT normal to be sick
It is NORMAL to be healthy and live to a ripe old age of over 100 years and yet we have been programmed to believe that ill-health is normal and that we are old at 60 and need to retire !  THIS IS BOLLOCKS !

Animals in the wild don’t get sick; they do not suffer heart attacks, cancer diabetes.  They have no obesity, no tooth decay, no asthma, no arthritis, no constipation AND they live to the equivalent of about 180 years old (20 times their maturity age). Animals do not get sick unless they are wounded or are in captivity and are exposed to toxins as we are, then they get ALL our diseases … even the neuroses !!

WE ARE SO BRAIN WASHED THAT WE DON’T EVEN REALISE THERE IS A CRITICAL HEALTH PROBLEM IN OUR SOCIETY ?
Let me tell you !!!
-A higher percentage of people get cancer than ever before
-A higher percentage of people get heart disease
-A higher percentage of people get diabetes
-A higher percentage of people get auto-immune diseases such as MS, Lupus, arthritis, MD, fibro-myalgia.
-More people have allergies than ever before.
-A higher percentage of people get acid reflux, ulcers and stomach problems
-A higher percentage of people have hormonal imbalances than ever before, such as PMS, infertility, menopausal symptoms etc.
-A higher percentage of people suffer from depression, anxiety and stress than ever before
-A higher percentage of people are getting colds and flu, herpes and cold sores.
-More children are having ADD and ADHD problems than ever before
-More children are becoming autistic than ever before.
-More men are suffering sexual dysfunction than ever before.
-Sperm counts in men have never been so low !

And as a result more and more people have turned to taking prescription and non-prescription drugs than ever before and yet the problems continue to get worse, NOT BETTER !  What does this tell us ???  It says categorically that STANDARD MEDICAL SCIENCE is failing to cope with this problem.  The reason …. Medical science and the use of drugs are merely treating the SYMPTOMS OF DISEASE rather than getting to the underlying cause of the problem.

We really need to take another look from a completely different angle, at this crisis !   There are tribes in remote unpolluted regions living on this earth right now that do not get sick and live to an average age of over 100 years.

So, getting back to my opening statement ..

A weak Immune system is our greatest challenge …Let’s look at this in more detail.

What causes the WEAK IMMUNE SYSTEM ?

1.         TOXINS
2.         DEFICIENT NUTRIENTS
3.         HORMONAL IMBALANCE
4.         STRESS, Emotional and Mental
5.         Electro-Magnetic Radiation (EMR)
6.         Acidic pH

So basically, if we could prevent and control just 6 factors in our lives, we would have radiant health forever!  We can do this, and AWARENESS of the problem is the key !

Lets look at TOXINS.  This is the BIG change that has occurred in our world over the last 60 years.  Nearly 100 million man-made toxins have been released into our environment since World War 2.  These toxins are found in our air, our food, our water; in our homes and on our skins. Toxins in the form of drugs are given to us by our doctors !!  The use of these chemical toxins has had a disastrous effect on our health. 

Although our bodies have amazing and have wonderful detoxing mechanisms … our lungs, our skin, our livers and Kidneys, which  were adequate a century ago to cope with toxins our ancestors were exposed to, there is just too much toxic onslaught right now, and our bodies cannot detox quick enough.  These toxins now are building up in our fatty layers, causing our organs to get sick and die.

Where are these Toxins found ?

            a) HOUSEHOLD CHEMICALS. 
Chemicals we now use in the home on a regular basis are man-made toxins.  If they are man-made, they are toxic.  Our cleaning materials are now mostly petro-chemicals or caustic soda products.  These are highly dangerous, and getting into our body via the air we breathe and through our skins.  The best safety test before using a product is to ask yourself this simple question “if you cannot drink it, do not use it” !   We spray insecticide nonchalantly in our homes that cause insects and other pests to curl up and die immediately, and yet we do not give a thought as to what these toxins are doing to our own body, our children and our pets.  If they are killing nature, they are killing us, just a bit more slowly, that is all.  Toxic fumes emitted from non-stick frying pans kill birds in the kitchen !  If the birds are dying, so are we.

            b) SKIN AND PERSONAL CARE PRODUCTS.
What we put on our skins …. Our ancestors used good old vegetable oil or animal fat, we use ‘Mineral oil” based creams.  These are petro-chemicals, and apart from being Xeno-oestrogens, they are carcinogenic too.  Not only do we used mineral oils, but next time you pick up your hand cream or face cream or shampoo, just read all the chemicals that are now added as preservatives, stabilizers etc etc.   Everything that touches our skin goes into our bodies.

            c) OUR WATER. 
All municipal water is chlorinated, some is even fluorinated !!  Chlorine and Fluorine are extremely dangerous toxic elements. Chlorine is a carcinogenic.  We are told that the “baddies” to avoid are germs, and therefore water should be chlorinated...This is an outright lie !  Exposure to Germs is how our immune systems develop … once we are exposed to a bacteria or virus the immune system is strengthened.  What we desperately need to avoid are the toxins.  Chlorine kills everything in the water ….  We ingest chlorine through our digestive track, when drinking water, our skins when showering and our lungs when we breathe in the chlorine vapour whilst showering.  Yes, this is in minute amounts, but there is a steady accumulation of chlorine in the body that eventually affects and kills our own organs.  Chlorine causes scarring of the arteries and is one of the main reasons for the high incidence of arteriosclerosis. (Cholesterol is then deposited in an attempt to repair the damage done by chlorine). Fluoride is one of the most toxic chemicals in the world, it is a by-product from the manufacture of super-phosphate fertilizers, and is reportedly good for our teeth.  This is a lie.   Fluoride is toxic and dangerous and adversely affects every organ in the body, especially the thyroid gland.

            d) OUR FOOD
Wow, where do I begin.   Our food is so full of toxins.  Man-made chemicals are added to everything man touches.  Man has interfered in every aspect of our food chain, from production until the food gets into our mouths...  Pesticides, fungicides, herbicides, growth hormones, anti-biotics are given to protect the weak man-made plants now grown in man-made soils so deplete of natural nutrients that man in his wisdom has added just 3 elements back to a soil that is often pure vermiculite.  These inorganically grown plants not only contain so many toxins, they are deficient in nutrients as well.   Many of these plants have been genetically modified, creating more toxins.  Additives are then added to preserve the food to prolong shelf life, to make the unpalatable, nutrient devoid food taste nice, colourants to give it some attraction.  There are in fact 15000 food additives that we do not even know about because they do NOT have to be put on the labels.  Those mentioned on the labels are the chemicals for which people have KNOWN intolerances, e.g. MSG, Tartrazine, sodium benzoate, potassium sorbate, to mention just a few.
Our meat is just as bad.  The meat industry is there to obtain maximum profits.  Growth hormones are given to speed up their growth.  Anti-biotics are given to keep these poor weak animals alive because of their crowded unsanitary, inhumane living conditions. The foods they eat are now man-made and toxic….  If we ingest the meat, we ingest these toxins.
The dairy industry is now also a major health hazard.  Again drugs, growth hormones, are given to the animals.  The milk is then pasteurisation and homogenised.  Pasteurisation heats the milk to very temperatures which kills all bacteria, but also kills the enzymes making the milk harder to digest and an unnatural product.  Homogenisation is the worst … this is now necessary to prolong shelf life.  The cream and milk is spun at a very high rate, this with the heat turns the milk into a trans fatty acid which attacks the linings of the arteries, the first step to heart disease (See heart disease for more details).
  So … in a nut shell,  if it’s man-made, it is so toxic,  DON’T EAT IT !!

            e) PRESCRIPTION AND NON-PRESCRIPTION DRUGS
Although I have left this to last, it is by no means LEAST.  In fact the growth of the pharmaceutical giants has added unbelievable toxins to our daily lives. There are thousands, probably millions of safe natural products that do get to the underlying cause of disease, and also treat the symptoms of disease without side effects, BUT these natural products cannot be patented.  This means that the pharmaceutical companies cannot make money out of these products, as they do not have exclusivity to them.  They only make billions of dollars from patentable drugs, for which they can charge any price … e.g. ONE single dose of a chemotherapy drug my friend is on costs her R27000.00, and she has to take one per week !  This is DISGUSTING !   Prescription and non-prescription drugs are chemicals that sometime come from nature, but an atom of the molecule is changed, so it no longer is the natural product.  This new molecule, they can patents.  The problem is when taking this altered molecule, it is alien to your body, a toxin, and therefore there will be many side effects….  One of the chief sources of toxins is taking drugs

2. Watch this space for info on Nutrient Deficiencies, coming soon
3. See the main body of the web page for all the info on Hormonal imbalance
4. Stress, I have SOOOO m uch to say about this subject … coming soon
5. EMR.  Cut down on exposure to EMR and protect yourself … more info soon
6. Acidic pH … basically if you have an ALKALINIC pH (which is, or rather should be, the norm), pathogens cannot survive, and cancer cells cannot grow !! Lots more on this subject coming soon.

HOW DO WE GET BETTER?

We give our bodies the BASIC FUEL, avoid the toxins and let the BODY HEAL ITSELF.  ……………………..BOTTOM LINE !

1.         a)         STOP putting toxins into the body !
            b)         DETOX the toxins that have accumulated over the years.  Just one detox will make you feel a different person
