The Principles of Natural Healing

In the United States we have come to believe in:
1. the quick fix;
2. the model of the body as a machine that can be fixed just as if it were a car;
3. the goal of healing to be only the elimination of symptoms;
4. the idea that there is “one cause - one disease.”

Natural healing seeks to create health by eliminating the imbalance (or disease) that produced the symptoms of illness in the first place. This process begins with the premise that the body is designed to heal itself, given the appropriate support. Determining what is appropriate nutritional support requires active participation on your part to become aware of what your own “Inner Healer” is telling you. If you are ready to make that commitment to yourself, this is what you need to know.

1. Healing is a long process - it took time to get you where you are now it will take time to reverse. To rebuild a body to the cellular level takes awhile and this process is different from person to person.
2. The body is a living, multidimensional organism, not a machine. The dynamics manifestations, and mechanisms of the physical body are based on its blueprint or energy pattern, and not solely on its chemical and physiological reactions. Emotions and mental attitudes have a great deal to do with the state of a body. Sometimes a disease process can be part of a spiritual, transformative process, in which case a physical treatment method may be only partially successful.

3. Healing is a process and may not always be comfortable.(See below “About the Healing Process”)
4. Donald 0. Rudin, MD,* has described disease as we know it in the United States today as one disease with different manifestations! He calls it the Modernization Disease Syndrome. He includes in this syndrome heart disease cancer, AIDS, diabetes, arthritis, colitis, mental disorders, etc.,, etc He sees that underlying this syndrome are imbalances in the regulatory mechanisms in the body resulting from “changes in lifestyle factors involving exercise stress, smoking, drugs, pollutants and especially a multiplicity of interacting dietary modifications which have not heretofore been evaluated for their collective effect.. He speaks of how both cancer and heart disease researchers see a dietary and life style component to each of these diseases “without mentioning each other’s findings, as though cancer and heart disease were unrelated illnesses instead of just different genetic manifestations of the same nutrition and lifestyle problem - i.e. The Modernization Disease Syndrome.

About the Healing Process

Don’t be alarmed if you feel worse after you start a wellness program than you did before. This is a good sign. This means that your body has built up enough strength inside to expel accumulated wastes. Although you may not feel well at that time, it is actually part of the healing process. It is important to understand what is happening during this process, what it means, and what you can do to assist this process.

Sometimes in the course of regaining vibrant health and optimum wellness using natural healing therapies, people go through a healing process. When stress and toxic wastes circulate inside your body, they damage your cells and tissues and weaken your body. This is recognized by medical science as a major cause of disease. Thus it is good for your health to get rid of these wastes.

The healing process is often accompanied by minor symptoms of cleansing such as aching, flu-like symptoms, headaches, runny nose, sore throat, diarrhea, constipation or other gastrointestinal symptoms, excess urination, irritableness, feeling tired, skin eruptions, gas, sweating, tearing, crying, bad breath, sleeping more, coughing, or emotions surfacing and releasing. Essentially these are all the different ways the body is working to overcome the condition and become well again. Please do not stop taking the supplements you may want to cut back at little if this process seems too overwhelming.

In cases where you have a chronic condition that your body has adapted to, you may have no symptoms until the new supplement is taken. You had no symptoms before because the chronic condition had weakened your body to the point where it did not have the ability to produce symptoms. Now your body is working to overcome this condition and become well again.

You can assist the healing process by drinking lots of pure water, using a high quality powdered fiber supplement and getting plenty of rest.

After a few hours, or a few days, the cleansing process will end. You will then experience a state of greater health.

Overweight and Obesity A Revolutionary Approach to Weight Management

Introduction

According to new federal “Clinical Guidelines on the Identification, Evaluation, and Treatment of Overweight and Obesity in Adults” published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (1998), fifty-five percent of the adult American population is considered overweight. This staggering statistic is alarming not only for the abundant health risks faced by an overweight individual, but also for the enormous and often hidden costs of treating ailments and diseases caused or exacerbated by obesity. Additionally, new research indicates that a restricted caloric intake can lead to a longer life. But a calorie-rich diet isn’t always the single cause of obesity, and the hunger pains associated with diets that severely limit the quantity of food eaten rarely make these plans successful.

One of the most underrated problems many overweight people face is the blow the excess weight is to their self-esteem. The overwhelming message our society reiterates to the overweight person is that he simply “lacks willpower,” and if he would just “buckle down” he could face the challenge. But many chronically overweight adults have addressed the issue (often many times in their life) through a change of diet, exercising, or following one of the thousands of quick-fix diets and eating plans available to the average American consumer. Sometimes the struggle is too great and the success is limited to a few weeks. Or the individual loses all his weight, only to regain it (and maybe more) back later. The feeling of failure and shame this causes is traumatic, and people resign themselves to just being fat.

Arthritis - A Chronic Illness that Impacts a Person’s Entire Lifestyle

Introduction

In its publication titled “Help Your Arthritis Treatment Work” the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) states that: “There is no cure for arthritis. But correct treatment can ease pain and stiffness.” “If you have arthritis, the doctor may prescribe a medicine for you or tell you to use a medicine you buy without a prescription, like aspirin.

Arthritis means inflammation of the joint; it causes redness, warmth, swelling and pain. The general term arthritis refers to more than 100 different rheumatic diseases. As of June 1997, it was reported that one in every seven Americans had some form of arthritis. The incidence of this disease will continue to increase as baby boomers age. The most common types of arthritis are: osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, spinal arthritis, and gout.

How effective are medical treatments for arthritis?

Acne - A Chronic Skin Condition that Results in Physical and Emotional Scars

Introduction

There is a four letter word in the English language that makes teenagers and adults alike react with an equal amount of dismay and disgust - acne. Teenagers are well aware of the disastrous affects that acne has on their skin as well as the impact it has on their social life and self-esteem. Few adults were fortunate enough to escape the ravages of acne, and many still hold the physical and emotional scars it took on them as young adults. But as spiteful as acne is, there is currently no cure or standard remedy for its treatment.

Scientifically speaking, we are discussing acne vulgaris - a condition created by dead skin cells, bacteria and excess oil production that create a plug that blocks a pore, causing the pore to distend and create a lesion. To avoid this problem, teens might be cautioned not to eat chocolate or fatty foods, wash the skin gently several times a day, not to touch their face with their hands, drink more water and get more rest. But even those who follow this regimen find only mild relief from the pustules and lesions of acne.

Coenzyme ATM “The New Millennium Health EnhancerTM”

What is Coenzyme-A?

Coenzyme-A is the most active metabolic enzyme in the human body. Coenzyme-A operates in the body’s cells and blood where it is required by metabolic processes that facilitate more than one hundred chemical reactions. Every organ of the body has Coenzyme-A in its tissues because every part of the body has a use for it.

Why is it important to maintain a consistent supply of Coenzyme-A in your body?

Since its discovery in 1947, Coenzyme-A’s crucial importance to a host of metabolic processes has been recognized and intensively studied. Coenzyme-A is required to metabolize the three major forms of energy (fat, carbohydrates, and protein). As the initiator of the body’s energy cycle (known variously as the ATP, TCA, Krebs, or citric acid cycle), it produces more than 90% of the energy the body requires to sustain life.

Coenzyme-A is also required to initiate the chemical reactions required by the human body to utilize Coenzyme Q10, Coenzyme 1 (NADH/Enada) and many of the other nutrients the body needs to stay healthy. Coenzyme-A is constantly expended by the metabolic processes of the body and constantly needs replenishing.

When Coenzyme-A is lacking or blocked the human body cannot generate energy from the usual sources and may suffer from conditions known by such medical terms as “chronic fatigue syndrome” (CFS). In addition, intermediate compounds that accumulate when Coenzyme-A is lacking or blocked poison other systems and lead to manifestations of other diseases.
