Stay with me, and I'll show you some of the most important health information ever written. Don't look for a health solution in the Trillion-Dollar Industry of hype and promises. You won't find the real answers there. Throwing money at a health problem is not going to solve it. Surprisingly enough, the solution is already in your hands. To bring about long-term healing, we need to get back to the basic principles of health:- Man evolved as a hunter-gatherer. His constitution is STILL that of a hunter-gatherer. The sooner we realise and accept that, the better, because it underpins everything we need to know about staying - or becoming - healthy. Here in a nutshell are the the salient factors for human health. Bear the above in mind as you read them. All links open in new windows: pH Levels:  Disease develops in an acid body condition. Total healing of chronic illness only takes place when and if the blood is restored to a normal, slightly alkaline pH.   More... Grain.  Grain was never designed to be a staple of human or animal diet.  In its present form, changed by hybridizing and intensive selective breeding, it is STILL LESS suitable.   More... Sugar in being consumed in quantities way beyond the body's needs, and in unnatural forms. It compromises blood circulation - surprise, surprise...   More... Meat and animal fat are fine BUT they were never designed to be consumed at current western-world levels. Here's the problem.   More... Soya contains plant estrogens and is goitrogenic - poison to the thyroid.  It's not suitable as a diet staple or as a replacement for meat. Check here on Health News for an article I wrote 10 years ago that tells the full story.   More... Cooking depletes essential digestive enzymes in the diet - enzymes that are vital for health. We need a high intake of raw foods to stay healthy.   More... Chemicals - not fit for human consumption.  But we've got a slew of them in processed foods. And very time we rush off to the doctor, we get drugs to top it off.   More... All this - and we wonder why we are sick. We call it "getting old", and think it's inevitable. WHAT ROT! Give yourself a break, and change your thinking! Read through the above information, follow the links to more in-depth explanations, backed by excellent resources, so you understand very fully where we've gone wrong and why the western world is weighed down with degenerative disease. Then we can look at ways to improve your health that will not cost you an arm and a leg. More to come. Check out my Heal Your Food Blog Check out Ways to get chemicals out of your home.
