The connection between diet and health.

The connection between diet and health.

What is Diet and why is it important?

Diet and health.

Real Food.

Prior to writing this article I looked up the definition of two words:-
Diet and Food.

Diet is defined as “way of feeding”.
In other words, it’s the food we eat out of habit.

Today the sad thing is that we are consistently being tricked into believing that if we can put it into our mouths and swallow it, it tastes good and stops us feeling hungry, it’s food.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ That is not true ~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The definition of Food is “nourishment”.
In other words it’s the fuel the body needs so it can do all the tasks it’s designed to do and if we fail to put in real food, our bodies fail to work properly and we become unwell.

The internal environment of a healthy body is slightly alkaline = 7.4 on a scale of 1 to 14 where 14 is strongly alkaline.
Even a small change makes us ill.
Digestion of food leaves a residue or “ash” –acidic or alkaline — so it’s clear that in order to maintain this delicate internal balance, our choice of food is critical because the last thing we want is an acidic body!

I think it’s a good idea to give my body the fuel it needs, when it needs it and in the correct proportions and combinations to help it extract the most benefit.
To do this, there are certain facts we need to know.

 

The body’s 24 hour cycle

 

The body's 24 hour cycle

The body’s 24 hour cycle

The body doesn’t realise (or doesn’t care) that we live in a concrete jungle with a timetable and electric lights!
It continues to function on a natural cycle and goes through 3 phases in every 24 hour period.
These are approximately 6.00 am to noon, noon to 8.00pm and 8.00 pm to 6.00 am — basically, two phases during daylight hours and one during the hours of darkness.

Whilst we are asleep (hours of darkness) the body does its “housekeeping” tasks, ie. it clears out of the cells all the waste products caused by the day’s activities, sending them off to elimination points. It also replaces damaged and dead cells, making them out of what we have absorbed during the day. (This is why we need nutritious food!  cf. we may have the ingredients to make a cake but unless we have cocoa powder, it won’t be a chocolate cake!!)

The automatic elimination of waste products starts at about 6.00 am because, under “natural” conditions, we’d wake up with the sun.

By mid-day, most of the elimination has been completed so, until dusk, apart from breathing etc., the body can turn its full attention to the tasks we consciously want it to do.

This cycle has implications for the way we provide the body with nourishment

Energy is needed to eliminate waste products.
Energy is needed for our daily work.
Energy is needed to digest food and for absorption of nutrients.

Some foods take a lot of time and energy to be digested so it makes sense to eat foods in the morning which are easily and quickly digested. In other words, foods which use only a little energy to quickly release large amounts of energy and not use up energy needed for waste elimination.

In the afternoon we need energy to continue our daily work so it’s sensible to eat foods at lunch-time which provide sustained-energy release.

At night, the body needs building materials to repair and construct cells so, again, it’s sensible to eat foods at the evening meal which supply building materials

Another fact we need to take into consideration

An acid environment is required to digest one type of food and an alkaline one is required to digest another type, so it would appear to be advantageous to eat these two types of food at different times.
As we all know, acid and alkali neutralise each other and when this occurs in the stomach, it causes poor digestion with its unpleasant symptoms of gas / wind and bloating. It also means that we fail to get full value from the food!
It is therefore beneficial to eat protein and carbohydrates at different meals.

Fresh organic greens provide good nutrients

Fresh organic greens provide good nutrients

What proportions of food are best?

The human body is designed to function on a diet that is   80% of our diet should consist of green vegetables and fruit, 20%  protein and complex carbohydrate (the body can make protein).
[Essential fats are present in the above]

The body’s internal environment is alkaline.
When we digest our food, green veg leaves an alkaline ash whereas carbohydrates and proteins leave an acid ash, therefore the majority of our diet needs to be green veg…!

 

 

 

The Ideal Diet

 

The Ideal Diet

Pure, clean water

2 Litres of Pure Water Every Day.
Water is the most important nutrient we need – as we all know, we die very quickly without it.

We are 70% water and we need it every day to enable our cells, organs and systems to perform their functions. We lose 1 ½ to 2 litres per day through the skin, lungs and gut and via the kidneys as urine, eliminating toxic substances from our bodies.
We need to drink 2 litres of pure, clean water every day, which means that we need to filter out impurities and chemicals.
(Coffee, tea, soft drinks, alcohol do not count — in fact, they dehydrate us so we need to add an extra glass of water to compensate for each one of those we consume).

Most of us are permanently dehydrated and don’t realise it. We think we only need to drink when we feel thirsty but thirst is a sign that we are already dehydrated!

It is important that our drinking water is at body temperature because our cells cannot absorb and use cold water.

Drinking a glass of water 30 minutes before eating helps with digestion but drinking water with a meal dilutes the gastric juices, making digestion difficult. Wait two more hours before drinking any more water.

Here are two simple ways to test whether your body needs water:-
Lightly pinch the skin (front of the neck or between the thumb and first finger). If it doesn’t spring back, you are short of water.
Your urine should be nearly colourless. If it isn’t, you are short of water.

 

Breakfast and Morning Snacks

Breakfast and Morning Snacks

Breakfast and Morning Snacks
Fresh fruit contains water. It is digested and out of the stomach in 15 minutes, releasing its energy (banana takes 30 minutes) so the body is not then using up energy that it needs for eliminating toxins.
You can top-up your energy by snacking on fruit any time you feel hungry during the morning.

Due to this rapid digestion, fruit should be eaten at other times as a Starter, NOT as a Dessert, 15 minutes prior to eating carbohydrates or proteins because they stay in the stomach for an hour or more and any fruit trapped in there just ferments ….Not good…!

Anything with seeds inside is a fruit.
Melon, grapes, pineapple, water melon, peaches, apricots, plums, greengages,
apples, oranges, pears, berries, tomatoes, peppers, courgette, cucumber.

My normal breakfast consists of five or six different fruits cut up into small pieces. I eat most of it, leaving a small amount to eat mid-morning.

Lunch

Lunch

Lunch

Carbohydrates, salad, all vegetables (fresh/frozen). (complex carbohydrates give sustained -release energy which we need in order to work in the afternoon).

Wholemeal breads (especially rye and spelt) and pastas, brown rice, carrot, parsnip, potato, beetroot, radish

Lettuce, onion, cress, herbs, garlic

Green leafy vegetables:- sprouts, cabbage, leeks, broccoli, cauliflower, asparagus

Vegetables are best eaten raw or lightly cooked. (Steamed/stirfried not boiled).

 

Dinner

Dinner

Dinner
Protein & green vegetables. (the body requires protein to build and repair cells so it needs to be eaten in the evening )

Fish, poultry, egg, cheese, very little red meat.

Legumes (peas, beans, chick peas, lentils), not the root vegetables listed with breads (they are Starch-Carbohydrates

 

 

 

Is this way of eating easy to follow?

At first I found it really hard and very strange to eat this way but I was pleasantly surprised how quickly I mentally adapted to it.
Now, it feels right and normal and, although I sometimes like to eat a traditional Sunday Dinner or Christmas Dinner (I love Yorkshire Puddings), it otherwise never occurs to me to cook potatoes and carrots etc. to eat with meat or fish, I just have three-quarters of my plate full of five or six different kinds of green veg.

I’ve become quite innovative with salad for warmer days. I have greens like wild rocket, watercress, shredded cabbage etc, not just lettuce, shavings of fresh ginger root and thinly sliced raw courgette and raw stalks of cauliflower and broccoli as well as growing my own sprouted seeds –I just have to remember to eat them at the appropriate meal. I also grow Nasturtiums and eat the leaves, stalks and flowers.

Different kinds of green veg

Raw veg are nutritious. Cooking kills the enzymes.

I make my own salad dressing by adding crushed garlic, black peppercorns and fresh rosemary to a bottle of Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Organic, of course. After about four days it tastes really nice and just gets better..!

Last Spring, I decided to have a parasitic and fungal cleanse so I stopped eating grains and root vegetables for a couple of months. A nice side effect was that I got rid of a stone of fat during the first two week. Lovely! I also had lots of energy and felt great.
When I re-introduced carbohydrates I did regain a little weight — about four or five pounds but that was ok because my body had rid itself of a stone and a half of unnecessary fat!

 

What do we need to remember?

Fancy desserts

Treats!!

I think it’s important to remember that the design of our bodies has not changed from when we were Hunter-Gatherers.
It struggles to cope with four-course meals where we consume protein, carbohydrates, vegetables, sugar, fancy desserts and puddings etc. all mixed in together.
I think we need to be sensible and bear in mind that a healthy body can stand some abuse as long as it’s not every day!
I like cake and sherry triffle and all sorts of yummy things and I eat them.
However, they are treats, not part of my normal everyday diet so when I do eat them, I really enjoy them!

What do YOU think?

Do you agree that the reasons I have given make a good case for eating in the way I recommend ?

Nutrients necessary for optimum health, why they are missing and how to get them.

Nutrients necessary for optimum health, why they are missing and how to get them.

Is malnutrition causing our health problems?

Scientists have shown that many diseases and conditions such as arthritis, diabetes, cancer, osteoporosis and M.E. have their basis in nutrient deficiency, and bio-chemical imbalances.
In simple terms, these health problems occur because the body is not receiving the nutrients it needs in order to function properly.
When we supply the body with the necessary nutrients it can correct / repair itself. That IS one of its normal functions.

Optimum health

We all know that a Rolls Royce engine will not operate properly on 2 star fuel and cheap oil.
In the same way, the human body will not function properly on a poor quality diet and the western diet IS a poor quality diet, being devoid of many essential nutrients and full of junk / non-food items and chemical additives.
In the midst of plenty, we are suffering from malnutrition..!

The dangers of this poor quality diet are multiplied by the toxicity from man-made chemicals to which we are subjected on a daily basis.
In 1940 chemical production was – 1 billion lbs annually
By 1988 chemical production had risen to – 600 billion lbs. annually.
Production is still rising.

Our exposure is mainly from:-
A. Prescription drugs.
B. Unknowing exposure at home and at work. ~~~~~~~~~ (Dr. Epstein)

Varying degrees of chemical exposure have now been implicated in:-
ADD / ADHD, Parkinson’s, ME, cancer, autism, motor neuron disease, infertility…

It is now known that good nutrition is vital to detoxify man-made chemicals within the human body.

This raises several questions.
**What essential nutrients are even “good” foods deficient in and why?
**Why are they essential nutrients?
**What can we do to help ourselves?

What Essential Nutrients are we Lacking?

Nutrients which are classed as “Essential” are those nutrients which the body cannot manufacture and therefore must be consumed every day.
They are :-

  • all minerals
  • certain vitamins, especially vitamin C.
  • certain fatty acids

Vegetables and fruit lack MINERALS because, over time and more recently due to modern farming methods, the land has become exhausted.

 The results of a world-wide survey on the mineral content of soils were reported to the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio.

Essential Nutrients

Mineral Depletion By Continent 1992

By continent, mineral depletion over the previous hundred years was as follows:-
85% – North America
76% – South America
76% – Asia
74% – Africa
72% – Europe
55% – Australia

This confirmed what Senate Document 264 had said in 1936 about the soil in the States.

 

The 1991 edition of “The Consumption of Foods” by the Royal Society of Chemistry and MAFF (Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food — now called DEFRA) reported this staggering reduction in mineral content in our vegetables compared with the 1940s findings. Here are just four examples:-

      68% less copper
      48% less calcium
      26% less iron
      25% less magnesium.
          In 1991, to get the same amount of iron that was in ONE apple in 1940, we should have to eat THREE apples!
          They also reported that they were “concerned for the health of the UK population” and one solution “is supplementation…..with a well balanced, naturally derived, readily assimilated, liquid food supplement.”

Scary, isn’t it?

VITAMINS.

Are vitamins really in this food?

The majority of us have to buy our fruit and vegetables from a shop rather than picking them and eating them straight away. This is one reason that they lack VITAMINS.

Cooking destroys vitamins (and enzymes) – the hotter and the longer, the more is destroyed – that’s why eating them raw is best.

Another reason is that fruit is often picked before it is ripe.
The supermarkets actually make it a selling point, as if it’s desirable, -”Ripen at Home!”
The problem is that it’s the plant itself which uses the sunlight to make vitamins – to ripen the fruit – once picked, the fruit doesn’t “ripen”, it just softens.
It looks good and tastes ok but it is nutrient deficient.

 

ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS EPA and DHA

ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS EPA and DHA  vital

Many people lack the ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS EPA and DHA (eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexanoic acid) which are made from omega 3. Even if they eat sufficient fish or seeds, if they are older, or do not have the right nutrients present, their bodies cannot perform the steps necessary to produce the EPA or DHA.

A pregnant woman needs extra EFAs (omegas 3 and 6) to make the baby’s brain and nervous system. Apparently, if she doesn’t take in sufficient EFAs, the baby takes what it can anyway and her brain physically shrinks — hence, “Baby Blues” — pregnancy and post-natal depression.!
Isn’t nature wonderful? Let’s keep the species surviving and produce the best possible new generation.

 

 AMINO ACIDS

AMINO ACIDS

Of the twenty-five AMINO ACIDS, eight are essential. Most of the other seventeen can be made from them.
These eight are essential because the body cannot function without them, although others are semi-essential under certain conditions.
Unfortunately, we do not always consume the right kind, or right quality of protein, to acquire them.

The twenty-five AMINO ACIDS — different forms of protein — are the building blocks of the body.
They are vital for the growth and repair of body tissue.
They are also used to make hormones, enzymes, anti-bodies (immune system) and neuro-transmitters (help in depression), and help transport substances around the body.

 

Some reasons why these nutrients are vital

MINERALS
Minerals keep the body’s internal acid / alkaline balance.

Minerals are the co-factors of vitamins – without a vitamin’s own mineral co-factor, the body can’t use the vitamin.

Minerals are also the co-factors of enzymes.

Some minerals are anti-oxidants.

Macro Minerals. (Needed in gram quantities). ~~ a few examples.

  • Calcium, magnesium, phosphorus — to make bone
  • Calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium –electrical properties for nerve impulses and muscle function.


Trace Minerals. (Needed in mcg or less quantities). ~~ a few examples.

  • Zinc — fertility, healthy prostate, memory
  • Iron — part of the E molecule in haemoglobin — carries oxygen
  • Iodine — thyroid function
  • Copper — needed to utilise iodine
  • Selinium — protection against cancer
  • Chromium and Vanadium — protects against diabetes
  • Boron — facilitates bone metabolism.

As you can see, minerals do not work in isolation. They work together and therefore it is vital that they are present in the body in the correct proportions.

VITAMINS

vegetable-garden

 

Vitamins are co-factors of enzymes.

Some vitamins are anti-oxidants.

Here are some other jobs some of the vitamins do:-

 

  • Vitamin C — an anti-oxidant, protects tissues and fluids in the body, ensures flexibility and strength of cell, vein and artery walls, necessary for a healthy sperm count and sperm mobility, helps immune cells to mature………..
  • Vitamin E — an anti-oxidant, protects tissues and fluids in the body, a powerful anti-cancer agent (especially when teamed with the mineral selenium), healthy heart muscle, prevents blood clots, improves wound healing and fertility……….
  • Vitamin K — controls blood clotting.
  • Vitamin A — an anti-oxidant and immune system booster, essential for night vision……
  • Vitamin B1 — energy production, digestion, brain function……
  • Vitamin B3 — helps balance blood sugar, lowers cholesterol levels…..
  • Vitamin B12 — needed for making use of protein, for making DNA….

Again, as you can see, vitamins work together with each other, as well as with minerals, so it is important that they are all present and in the necessary amounts.

ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDSESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS   EFAs do lots and lots of jobs, too many to mention here, so I’ll just say :-

  • If we want healthy, happy, intelligent, well-behaved children & adults,
  • With no heart or circulatory problems,
  • A fantastic memory,
  • Lots of energy,
  • The right height & weight,
  • Beautiful soft skin & hair,
  • Bright eyes

we need to take the essential fatty acids of the Omega3 and 6 Families.

What can we do to help ourselves?

Mineral Solutions

The first thing I did was to take a liquid mineral and vitamin supplement.
Then I was introduced to a nutrition expert who has a doctorate in bio-chemistry. As a result of that, I changed my diet and way of eating to the one I wrote about in The connection between diet and health.

I buy organic food whenever I can, because it’s not contaminated with chemicals,research shows that it is more nutritious because the bacteria in the soil which help plants take up minerals aren’t killed off and it tastes better. (I’ll give you more info. about the benefits of organic food another time).

One supplement I took, and still do take, is a liquid mineral and vitamin supplement called Mineral Solutions. ~~~~~~ This is “My Magic Bottle”.
The ingredients are all natural — no synthetic ones — and it is what they call “bio-available”.  I discovered that this big word means that as soon as you put some in your mouth, it starts to be absorbed through the tongue and lining of the mouth.
Very useful when someone is too ill to eat.!
I know this because a friend of mine had radiation treatment after the removal of a salivary gland. She felt really ill and couldn’t eat.  She kept putting a few drops at a time onto her tongue and after a few days felt much better and was eating food again.

Another friend had a blood clot on her lungs and was rushed into Intensive Care. I saw her four days later when she was moved onto a Ward. She had had nothing to eat and just couldn’t eat the food they offered.

She had asked me to bring some of my Mineral Solutions so I took that and some Noni Juice.  She had 15 ml Mineral Solutions and 30 ml Noni straight away. She took the same before going to sleep; in the morning; at lunch time and at teatime. She felt much better and was able to eat some fruit at teatime.

Twenty-four hours had elapsed between my visits and the change in her was dramatic. She had been white, limp, eyes dull and now she had her colour back, no longer limp and a sparkle back in her eyes. I had my friend back. This is no exaggeration– I really had been afraid she was going to die.

I’ve had two operations. I doubled up the amounts for two weeks before the operations and took them to hospital with me. On both occasions, I sailed through the operation with no problems and was home in record time.

How does all this happen?  Simple! They give the body nutrients it can use.

MODERE MINERAL SOLUTION (1)Mineral Solutions contains the full range of plant sourced macro minerals and trace minerals (including rare earths) that we need, 

major vitamins,

really powerful anti-oxidants from concentrated fruit extracts,

twelve amino acids (includes the 8 Essential ones),

something to feed the good bacteria in our gut,

in fact, more than 90 nutrients that we need every day.
The only ones not there are EFAs.

(We have Classic Mineral Solutions without the fruit extracts which is suitable for people with diabetes.  Both are vegan-friendly.)

I won’t bore you with any more details but, as you can see, I am enamoured with this supplement. I have been taking it now since February 2000. I take 15 ml twice a day and intend to continue doing so because it works for me.


To find out if my “Magic Bottle” works for You,  try it yourself.

This is nourishment, not a drug, so be prepared to take it for 3 months before deciding what benefits you are having. I suggest 15 ml twice a day for 14 days , then once a day before breakfast.

Omega 3  DHA, EPA& vitamin E

GB_omega-3

 

 

 

This is the Omega 3 Supplement I take.

I take 1 with breakfast and 1 with lunch so that I get boosts of energy during the day.

As a result it is even better value because it is now VAT free!

 

 

Osteoporosis.

Osteoporosis.

Where to begin?

I believe in giving people information so they can make an educated choice as to whether they accept my suggestions or not.

OK…………………………….

Osteoporosis (brittle bones) occurs when the body fails to make new bone cells to replace dying ones. download (e.g. In a healthy body we get new long bones approximately every 7 years, vertebrae every 3 years.)

 To do this, the body needs:-

 magnesium, zinc, boron, selenium, phosphorus, molybdenum, calcium, vitamins C and D3 with K2, and natural progesterone. — synthetic  progestogen is no use.

 

(Natural progesterone activates osteoblasts to build new bone and it increases bone density 4 times better than oestrogen. Osteoclasts scour out old crystalline bone. Oestrogen simply slows down the osteoclasts which slows the loss of old bone — which is dry and brittle. It’s better than losing it—survival mode!!)

 

We Have A Problem With Minerals.

  1. Minerals are vital nutrients because as well as doing their own job they are co-factors for other nutrients– like a key that enables the body to access them and use them. So ….a shortage of minerals means that even though needed nutrients are present, the body may not be able to use them.

 

  1. One vital job minerals do is to neutralise acid ash formed when acid-forming foods are digested i.e. proteins, carbohydrates. When there is a shortage of minerals  the body takes them from the bones.

 

  1. Our natural mineral suppliers are plants and when they take minerals from the soil, the molecular structure is changed. (That’s why mineral supplements which are simply ground-up rock, such as calcium carbonate, are not much use to us.)

 

  1. Plants are short of minerals today because the soils have been farmed for too many years and pesticides kill the micro-organisms in the soil which assist plants to absorb minerals:-

1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro

WHO data

 

In the UK, research published by the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food in 1991 on the mineral content in 7 common vegetables available to UK citizens showed average losses :-

 

 1978  to 1991                      1940  to  1991                                                                

39% less sodium                  49%                            

16% less potassium             16%

14% less phosphorus

33% less magnesium           24%

40% less calcium                 46%

72% less copper                   76%

59% less zinc

                                                 27% less iron

3 apples/oranges were needed to supply the same iron content as 1 apple/orange in 1940!

 

They found similar losses in the 17 fruits and 10 items of meat tested.

 

They were concerned about the effects on the health of UK citizens because the report also says:-

 

“The significant loss of these essential trace minerals……………………….highlights the difficulties in achieving a fully adequate diet with currently available foods…………………………………..

AN ALTERNATIVE IS SUPPLEMENTATION…………WITH A WELL BALANCED, NATURALLY DERIVED, READILY ASSIMILATED, LIQUID FOOD SUPPLEMENT.”

 

Result = acid bodies.

Osteoporosis is a metabolic disorder.

There are 2 kinds of disease – infectious and metabolic.

Metabolic is where the body fails to function as it should (reasons later) because it has become acidic.

It should be 7.3 slightly alkaline and when it isn’t, different symptoms such as osteoporosis, diabetes, vascular problems, arthritis, nervous breakdowns etc. appear.  (Different ones in different people.)

 

So on a simplistic level, the answer is to re-alkalise the body.

 

This means we need minerals –macro, micro, trace elements and Rare Earths.

As I already said, they are vital nutrients because as well as doing their own job they are co-factors for other nutrients– like a key that enables the body to access them and use them.

 

There’s an article  – Metabolic Disorders Vs. Optimum Health – here if you want to read it.

CLICK-HERE

with a link to other health info if you wish..   ********see below

 

When we understand the basic premise of acidic bodies and metabolic disorders, we can start to tackle whatever problem we’ve got.

The causes are actually a lot of “Straws” and you know that the final one breaks the camel’s back!

Main causes are:-

Malnutrition. 

 Lack of nutrients in food available to us today. (Even when we eat a diet of real food.)

 

Poor Digestion.  

Gut clogged up with mucoid plaque and occupied by pathogenic bacteria and fungi, plus parasites.

 

Toxicity.            

  Harmful and questionable chemicals in toiletries etc. Whilst we sleep, the liver’s energy which should be doing its real job of removing toxins made by the body during its natural processes, is diverted to deal with these chemicals instead.

 

Un-managed stress.    

  Self-explanatory.  Need yoga, tai chi, Tapping — anything which brings relaxation and a quiet mind.

 

********     For more detailed info, I have a number of Articles on health, nutrition etc on this website.

 

I also have audio recordings of health professionals talking or being interviewed about various health issues in “Downloads”      

 

 

 Some important points to note.

Smoking and alcohol adversely affect bone health.

Fizzy drinks actually remove phosphorus.

Sodium Fluoride makes bones dense and brittle. (Dental Fluorosis only appears long after damage has occurred to the bones)

High blood pressure tablets and only 3 months of steroids rob the body of minerals.

Weight-bearing exercise keeps bones strong.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Suggestions if you Have Osteoporosis.

 

By now you’ll have gathered that my health philosophy is Holistic.

The body is not like a car where we can deal with a problem in isolation, it’s actually comprised of inter-dependent parts which work in synergy.

SO

1. Clean up

*I’m reliably informed that when you stop absorbing harmful chemicals every day, in about 6 months the body has got rid of them .Modere Collection

So free-up the liver to do its proper job by avoiding processed “food” and switching to non-toxic products. Modere provides the full range.

 

*Clean out the digestive tract because mucoid plaque prevents absorption of nutrients and harbours pathogens and parasites.

Populate with  probiotics.

Modere provides what’s needed.

 

2. Food

* Eat real food, organic where possible (it’s clean and contains more nutrients – chemicals kill off the microbes in the soil which help plants absorb minerals etc.)

 images (7)

*Eat 80% green veg and fruit (raw as much as possible), 5% protein, 15% root vegetables and some grains.

 

*For vitamin D eat egg yolk, liver and saltwater fish, (tinned fish which still have bones are useful too).  We need sunlight too to make Vitamin D (spectacles prevent the eyes from fully absorbing sunlight.)

 

*Avoid red meat and dairy.  – very acid forming, full of anti-biotics etc., plus the calcium is not the right kind for humans and is difficult to absorb.

 

We need an alkaline body. (Recent research shows that cancer occurs when the mitochondria are acidic instead of being alkaline.)

 

 3. Supplement the Diet.

* We need to supplement minerals, vitamins and progesterone.

download (4)http://www.wellsprings-health.com  has progesterone cream formulated to Dr. John Lee’s standard.  (I see that they have a free book on Osteoporosis.  (I have a recording of Dr. Lee’s Talk on a CD — Contact me and ask for one).

 

Magnesium Citrate.   http://www.credence.org  375 mg per day 

 Vitamin C.          http://www.credence.org

images (15)Phillip Day has an excellent vitamin C Complex in powder form. It needs to be drunk throughout the day because the body doesn’t store Vit. C.

 

 

Vitamin D3 and K2        http://www.credence.org

 

The other minerals are in Mineral Solutions from Modere.MODERE MINERAL SOLUTION (1)

It’s a liquid, absorbable as soon as it hits the inside of your mouth.  Take 15 ml twice a day or even 3 times.  (15ml is a maintainance amount.)

1. Developing cancer is just ‘bad luck’?

What rubbish is this?? It implies you can do little about getting the disease, nor about preventing it returning after being treated. However, as you will read, the mass media over-claimed a poor piece of research which left out two of the biggest cancers.

2. Epigenetics – the rapidly growing science that shows cancer is reversible

You are not doomed. The Science of Epigenetics has shown that rarely are there mutations in your core DNA, and the changes around your DNA (mistakenly called ‘mutations’ by sloppy scientists) are REVERSIBLE.Right now Big Pharma is trying to develop drugs to reverse the blockages around your DNA. But you don’t have to wait – about 60 Natural Bioactive compounds are proven to have epigenetic benefits. You just have to consume enough of them! But then, this is all in my book, the Rainbow Diet and has been for seven years or more!!

3. Sugar doesn’t just feed cancer – it causes it

We have been telling you that common sugar (and especially High Fructose Corn Syrup) feeds a cancer cell, so avoid at all costs. Yet there are still some people who are in denial. They can’t be reading the research. For example, in January 2014, research showed sugar can actually cause cancer.The solution is to look for a non-added sugar diet – I have been banging on about the French Paradox for years – and colourful vegetables, a low added sugar and high fat diet is the basis for the Rainbow Diet. If you want something stricter – then you can always look at the Ketogenic Diet.

4. Why you should think seriously about Hyperbaric Oxygen

We have been telling people about Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for three years, but this year it came of age. Almost all who have used it, praise the effects. What are these? Well apart from a general improvement in well-being and lowered fatigue, HBOT reduces side-effects of radiotherapy and improves effectiveness of both chemo- and radiotherapy. In a 2012 overview of all studies since 2006, two American scientists showed there was even research linking it with killing cancer cells.The MS Society has HBOT centres across the UK and treatment (1 hour, two to three times a week) costs from 10 to 15 pounds per session.

5 Fasting for 3 to 5 days boosts your immune system

New research shows that fasting for three days can boost the immune system – we know it can improve chemotherapy results and cut side-effects – after all, we have been telling you about the benefits of Calorie Restriction and Fasting when you are diagnosed with cancer, for quite a while. Fasting even stops cancer progression.

6. Everything you need to know to help you beat cancer

I just cannot believe how many copies of this book we sell. Especially now we print in different countries. I love the fact that people describe it as their ‘Bible’ and even keep it by their bedside. The book does what it says on the cover – it is all in there, the 4 main causes of cancer that you can cut out today, through to all the complementary therapies and how they might benefit you. It even has checklists on what supplements to take when and it covers many new, emerging therapies. It is only available though, through our wholesalers.

7. Gut bacteria – the root cause of ill health and illness (oh, and colo-rectal cancer)

In January there was research on the links between gut bacteria and colorectal cancer. Then there was research on how taking probiotics lessened your risk of colorectal cancer. Then there was research on how taking gut bacteria can protect you against some radiotherapy side-effects. Gut bacteria – 93 trillion helpers inside your body right now. And a loss of volume and diversity leads to illness. Fact.This book is a 5 hour read – but when you put it down you will know what you need to do to recover your good health.

8. The year medicinal Cannabis started to make its mark?

From Australia to Canada and Spain to the UK, the medical benefits of cannabis seem to be growing in acceptance. 2015 even seems companies producing medicinal cannabis being launched on the stock market.It’s early days, but clearly the active ingredients of certain cannabinoids show promise. Here we provide a link to our article on cannabis, plus a link to Dr Christina Sanchez who seems to be something of an expert in research on cannabinoids and how they kill cancer cells. Then we give you a link to Sharon Kelly’s home made video on how Cannabis killed her stage IV Lung cancer.

9. The year of self empowerment

UK Medical Authorities by and large seem determined to be left behind. They stick to a mantra of ‘Doctor knows best’ and the Holy Trinity of Chemotherapy, Radiotherapy and Surgery. Some even refuse to discuss Complementary therapies with their patients actually saying that they will be ‘struck off’ if they do. Meanwhile the benefits of building an Integrative treatment programme – where patients add complementary treatments to their orthodox programme is just a click away on your computer.Here’s a little selection of pointers to get you going.

10. Fastest growing area of lung cancer linked to oestrogen

Research in 2014 was clear: You don’t need to have been near a cigarette. The cancer that has grown from 12% to 40% of all lung cancer is non-small cell lung cancer – and it is driven by oestrogen.But then so are many cancers – from some breast to prostate, colorectal to brain tumours, ovarian to testicular. And that’s why we wrote a simple book ‘Oestrogen – the killer in our midst. It tells you the simple steps you can take today to start reducing the level of aggressive oestrogen in your body.

11. Is the game finally up for screening mammograms?

By now you know my views. We should have been spending money looking for accurate blood tests not on expensive machines that potentially can do more harm than good. 2014 saw research from Canada that should have finished off screening mammograms for good.

12. Bribery, fraud, causing cancer, spreading metastases; anything else??

In the past, many people have been concerned about the ‘dodgy practices’ employed by certain elements of Big Pharma. In 2014 we have seen criminal convictions for bribery and fraud. A major company that works with the UK Government and Cancer Research has now been convicted of fraud, misleading information and bribing doctors. Twice. With more cases on the way.When it comes to the products, it doesn’t get much better. In 2014 there was a new study that said chemo induced more cancer – this just backed up one from a couple of years back that said it CAUSED cancer. It reminded me of the German Study that said Taxol caused breast cancer to spread.What a sorry state areas of BIG Drug are in at the moment!!

13. Are orthodox prostate treatments doing more harm than good?

If you read the research coming out of America, you would have to answer, ‘yes’. Both the PIVOT Study and a 2014 study on over 65s from UCLA actually show they achieve little and can even make matters worse.So what can you do to stop prostate cancer? From 2014 research it would seem: forget about the vasectomy, and lower your blood triglyceride levels. Read the triglyceride article if you want to know what to do next.

14. So what did 2014 research tell a cancer patient to do?

Research said: Start by taking vitamin D, and light daily exercise. Think about a daily small aspirin. And learn to sleep well (or consider taking melatonin). It could have said take fish oils, curcumin, CLA, resveratrol and more!

15. Environmental toxins and cancer

Xenoestrogens are linked to prostate cancer (again), alcohol-based mouthwash to throat and mouth cancers (again), Glyphospate is polluting water supplies and drugs used to treat IBS, Crohn’s and Colitis are linked to blood and lymph cancers.

Happy Christmas – and a resolution for 2015

J Backhouse,

Ten years ago, my daughter Catherine had just died and I needed a break, having spent ten weeks in a hospice in London, sleeping every night in a chair by her bed. Min and I went to Phuket. Every morning I ran on the beach at Karon Bay. For Christmas day I wanted to do something different – we decided to rent a boat and go snorkling at Koh Phi Phi. In the end Min had a cold so we moved the booking to Boxing Day, at 7.30 am.The night before Min was still suffering, so at 10 pm we cancelled the booking with the poor speed boat driver. Little did we know, this was to save his and our lives. For some reason I didn’t wake at 6 am. And I didn’t run on Karon beach either. We went downstairs instead at about 8.25, when water was flooding the hotel lobby. Sadly, 200,000 people died that day. A tragedy of epic proportions. But still less than die every year from cancer in the UK. Billions have now been spent on early warning systems to prevent death from Tsunamis in South East Asia. They learned a lesson. Billions are not spent on cancer prevention. No lesson is learned.

Cancer is a bigger tragedy – the illness and its consequences just as preventable. It is desperately sad that big business rules the actions of too many people professing to help people beat cancer. When we set up CANCERactive our ultimate goal was to make ourselves un-needed. If everybody understood how to prevent cancer today, then there would be no necessity for cancer charities. But, to this day, of the UK major charities only CANCERactive talks about environmental toxins and stress being causes of cancer, not just YOUR own lifestyle excesses. From the outset we told people to build their own microclimate – so why not use 2015 to do this; for yourself, and those you love around you. And if you want another New Year’s resolution, help SPREAD THE WORD – Cancer is preventable, and reversible, today.


Happy Christmas and a Healthier New Year

CANCER IS PREVENTABLE; CANCER IS REVERSIBLE

The science of epigenetics has shown that 4 factors cause blockages of crucial messages around your DNA leading to chronic illnesses like cancer. Environmental toxins, stress, poor diet and hormones like oestrogen. Scientists working for drug companies and independently, have shown THESE CHANGES ARE REVERSIBLE.THESE CHANGES ARE PREVENTABLE, TOO. We have been telling you since 2004. We have the biggest cancer prevention section of any UK charity; we held Britain’s only ever major Cancer Prevention Conference right opposite the House of Commons, we designed a programme for schools (that the Government liked, but their funding refused); and we have downloadable prevention leaflets on site for you to use. Make 2015 the year you spread the word – CANCER IS PREVENTABLE; CANCER IS REVERSIBLE. TODAY.

Empowering you to make more informed personal health choices.
HIMALAYAN KRYSTAL SALT

HIMALAYAN KRYSTAL SALT

“Salt is born of the purest of parents: the sun and the sea” – Pythagoras 580–500B.C.

 

Salt is born

Salt is born

When large oceans of ancient times evaporated, they left massive amounts of salt behind that was slowly dehydrated by the sun. Radial energies of the sun are one of the most potent forms of life force, so potent that all plant life sustains itself primarily through this energy. This happened at a time when pollution did not exist.

In one specific location in the Himalayas in Pakistan, these salt beds were exposed to very high pressure and temperatures, forcing a small portion of the salt to form an unusual crystalline structure, different from that found in all other salts with a higher degree of crystallization. Hence, a much higher life force field since crystallization is nature’s way of storing life force.

The life force field of Krystal salt gives it properties that make it far superior to any other type of natural unrefined salt. In repeated Russian experiments intake of brine 1% Krystal salt balances the entire meridian system of a person within 15 minutes.

Needless to say, Himalayan Krystal salt is mined using age–old manual methods, not using explosives or heavy machinery. The milling is carried out in controlled facilities, sorted, brine-washed and sun–dried in India under a regulatory body to get the highest standard possible.

Natural salt is not a medicine, but a food, much like apples, wheat, water and other natural substances. Salt is a core, essential group of nutrients with exceptional qualities and abilities fundamental to keeping us alive. In its original, wholesome, unadulterated form, there are some 84 known elements to be found in their bio-available state in this type of food, making it one of the most efficient foodstuffs available.

Europe for a long time sent asthma patients to the salt mines. They felt better after several hours per day for two weeks, and they remained free of symptoms for many months.

Sea Salt is increasingly polluted: industrial pollution, shipping accidents, sewage in rivers, both the chemical and energetic properties of the salt freshly harvested from the sea is compromised. Many of the predatory fish carry heavy metals in their flesh.

Table Salt is just sodium chloride. Much of what has become known about the negative effects of refined flour and sugar can be applied to salt. The food processing industry has been presenting us with refined, denatured sodium chloride enriched with iodine, aluminium and other ‘enhancements’ as ‘salt’, but natural salt is very different.


Usage of Water and Himalayan Krystal salt

Take ¼ to ½ teaspoon in the morning on the tongue after a pint of water. Hold it in hollowed tongue away from roof of mouth if possible. Allow salt to disperse and mix with saliva before swallowing. You need ½ teaspoon salt per day or ¼ teaspoon per 2 pints of water. So if necessary repeat the process after water in the evening.

You can bathe in Himalayan Salt. Bathing in Himalayan Salts for 15–30 minutes gives you the same effect as fasting for 3 days. 1–2 cups salt recommended.

“Slip into a sheer ocean of energy with these magical bath salts. Imagine taking a dip in the pristine primal ocean, some of 250 million years ago. Now you can. Relax, while your body absorbs the 84 vital nutrients and your skin attains the soft glow of health.”

Himalayan bath salts contain 84 essential minerals, more than any other bath salt, including magnesium, potassium, bromide and calcium which are readily absorbed into the skin during a 15–30 minute bathe.

Himalayan bath salt is known to alleviate severe cases of dry skin disorders. It will stimulate circulation, hydrate the skin, increase moisture retention, promote cellular regeneration, detoxify the skin and help heal dry, scaling and irritated skin. Salt water bathing reduces inflammation of the muscles and joints, relaxes muscles and relieves pain and soreness and, will improve psoriasis.

Do not shower off – simply dry with a towel. Afterwards, rest for about 30 minutes. Please note, if you have any heart problems consult with doctor first.”

The mixture of water and crystal salt, called Sole (so–lay) is the most flexible physical representation of pure solar and light energy. When water and this salt come together they become a different product, ‘Sole’.

The word Sole is derived from the Latin word “sol” which means the sun. Sole is nothing but the fluid materialization of sunlight. Sole means fluid sunlight or fluid light energy

Benefits of Drinking sole

  • Supplies the body with the natural energy stored in the crystals which the body can hold for up to 24 hours.
  • Can neutralise the alkaline/acid balance in the body and normalise blood pressure.
  • Can dissolve and eliminate impurities and built up toxins which lead to stones and various forms of rheumatism like arthritis and kidney and gall bladder stones.
  • Helps the circulatory and respiratory systems
  • Helps relax the nervous system
  • Can lower the craving for addiction

Sole will break down the build up of heavy metals such as lead, mercury, arsenic, amalgam and calcium. For the body to get rid of these deposits it has to first metabolize them. Even animal proteins, which are difficult to break down and eliminate, will be eliminated through the urine due to the strong structural formation of the krystal salt. Always support this action with water intake of 8–10 glasses a day otherwise these toxic wastes will pass around the body and not be flushed out.

Sole is made by dissolving salt in water until it will dissolve no more. At this point the solution becomes saturated at 26% which is stable and ready for consumption.

Take 1 teaspoon of the sole in a glass of water every morning before breakfast. Drink on an empty stomach before breakfast. The regularity is important. From a bio-chemical point of view, within minutes, the whole stomach and intestines are being stimulated. This in turn encourages digestion and metabolism.”
