THOUGHTS:

It is my belief that there are certain routes into the body that many of us are both
consciously and unconsciously allowing toxic pollutants to access on a daily basis. These routes
are essentially - our lungs, our digestive system, our skin. Only via these
means can we become 'intoxicated'. That is through: what we breathe; what we eat and
drink; what we apply to our skins.

These are the ways and means that external
poisons access our biological systems. Every day we expose ourselves either
willingly or unwittingly, thoughtlessly or ignorantly, to the many toxins
we have (in our "wisdom") seen fit to surround ourselves with. Our lack of care
for our own wellbeing is astounding. Our lack of 'responsibility' for our God
given health is a travesty. This behaviour HAS to change if we hope to see a
positive future evolving for Mankind.

From personal responsibility, to responsibility for our family, for society
in general, and the planet as a whole, we need to 'grasp this nettle'. Each of
us has a daily choice to keep doing what we are doing, or to make some radical
changes. Change is never easy, particularly when it may mean ceasing to do
things we 'think' we enjoy.

We live, for example (in the Western world in
particular) in a 'treat' culture. From childhood we are 'taught' to see those
things that are literally undermining to our health and wellbeing as 'treats and
rewards' -- for example: cakes, sweets, alcohol, and rich foods of all sorts.

As our society has
become wealthier these so-called treats have become the daily 'norm' for many people. We constantly justify our indulgences on the thin pretext that we somehow 'deserve them' (or in paraphrasing the now 'infamous' words of one of the producers of some highly questionable, synthetic chemical toxin laden products: "because we're worth it"!). We are therefore reaping
the bitter harvest of the 'sweet seeds' we have sown, in the form of a wide
range of diseases that should never have the hold on us that they do.

Why is our world so sick? -- An impassioned rant!

Modern medicine is failing. Cancers, diabetes, coronary heart disease and
more are at an all time high. Obesity has become a major social problem that is
crippling and shortening lives. Perhaps it threatens yours? Inspirational and
exceptional beings such as the Father or 'Medicine' Hippocrates, genius Thomas
Alva Edison, and Spiritual leader Bahá'u'lláh ('The Glory of God'), initiator
of the Bahá'í Faith, along with other persons of insight, all predicted the growing importance of food as medicine.

The Russian Nobel Laureate, Ilya Ilyich Mechnikov, stated that "Death begins
in the colon". Today the veracity of this statement is seemingly beyond doubt.
The importance of the foods we eat, along other environmental influences, on
our digestive health is emerging as a critical factor in long term health. A
new, deeper understanding of how food and nutrition is the key to good health
and a strong immune system is emerging. The RIGHT foods can bring your body
into balance, heal current health issues, and help you achieve successful
long-term weight loss.

Our blind admiration for 'Science' and our acceptance that scientific
progress is what marks Man out from the 'beasts' and that it will provide for
all our future needs is clearly questionable. Man, for now, continues to
persist with the foolish notion that 'He' can out do Nature. That Nature is a
force to be tamed, controlled and subjugated to our needs still seems to be the epithet that drives
the myopic.

However, others have recognized that Nature is the true bounty,
that in the most simple, logical terms, it holds the keys to all our needs and
wants -- particularly in respect of health and wellbeing. This of course makes perfect
sense. How could a species evolve for hundreds of thousands of years only to
reach a point that all further progress depended on the good auspices,
'selflessness and integrity' of Multi-National Pharmaceutical Companies (these
concepts, I need hardly tell you, are of course non-sequiturs!).

We have laden our world with toxic chemicals which have slowly poisoned us and perpetrated many harms upon the delicate balance of both our own and the planets natural systems. Consequently, we are now in an era where we
are desperately trying to reclaim our health (and save the Earth, too!)

Even so most of still continue to:

- Consume food made to
last for weeks thanks to processing and the chemical perversion of ingredients.

- Wash and prepare our bodies daily with
synthetic chemical-cocktail liquid soaps; followed by sprayed-on chemical deodorants
(polluting lungs and skin simultaneously), and many also then lather on additional layers of toxic-chemical cremes/lotions/powders and so on.

- Spend all day in offices and
rooms surrounded by man-made materials that are surreptiously seeping chemical contaminants into the
air we breathe, and even throwing open a window (if it were possible -- which it is not, in many office buildings, thanks to so-called 'climate control!!) it would
only allow the chemical 'blessings' of the 'combustion engine' to further assault our
lungs!

- Finish the day by laying abed in rooms where (lest we accidentally wake up
and 'smell reality') our 'plug-in' air fresheners pump out chemical contamination
all night, too!

- Relax at the end of our busy week by 'treating'
ourselves to quantities of acknowledged liquid chemical toxins, and bemoan the
fact that our younger generation is already doing the same!...

...and so on!

(Yes -- I'm on my soap box...and I will no doubt be revising this entry soon –- but David reminded me my page
was empty, so blame him for this rant :-D).

The Bare Necessities:

For now I aim to pursue, and spread the word about, the ways and means to:

- Clean up our food and drink

- Clean up our skin care

- Clean up our atmosphere

- Get back to an 'integrated approach' (otherwise referred to as holistic) to health

I believe we must implement strategies that acknowledge, and address the facts that firstly many
ills we suffer are triggered by the toxins we absorb
through such wanton daily exposures as outlined above, and secondly these illnesses and diseases may then be allowed to manifest and proliferate due to the corruption
of our natural immunity due to improper nutrition and a lack of understanding
of how food can support our health most effectively.

For the immune system, miraculous though it is, is a 'natural' system that requires the right inputs to provide the right outputs. It is also prone to damage and inhibition through the erosive and combined effects of the increasing amounts of synthetic chemicals and unnatural substances that are allowed to enter our bodies daily, via the major channels, that our 'natural' system has never evolved to expect, or cope with.

When things 'go wrong' with our bodies -- whether it be anything from the Acne, to the slide into obesity, to Coronary Heart Disease, to Cancers (of this, that or the other organ), to Diabetes, to things of less 'fatal' import such as 'wrinkles, crow's feet and stretch marks' -- we then start to 'clamor' for the quick fix. We cry out for the pill, the potion, the needle, the knife that can solve our problem in the shortest time. In all these short-sighted demands we fail to see we are simply seeking to treat a symptom. As such this is simply putting a 'finger in the dyke', or trying to play Canute to the inexorable 'tide' of physical detrioration, largely caused by our toxic lifetyle choices.

We need to step back, and see the wood for the trees. We need to see that all the chemical remedies provide but momentary relief for whatever symptom of 'toxicity' we are suffering, and each symptom is only one small piece of evidence of a much bigger underlying malaise. No matter how many trillions of dollars worth of Statin drugs, or anti-depressants, or chemo-therapy, or sleeping pills, or vaccines (and so on) that 'Big Pharma' produces -- none of these will ever address the root cause of our probelms...

...And WHY would they ever want it to? Pharmaceutical 'temporary' palliatives are supreme profit centers for the 'medicament manufacturing mafia', the influential pharmacological giants that hold such sway with our governments (indeed our economies!!) and infiltrate so completely the 'minds, hearts and prescriptions' of our so-called medical professionals (who are now, in fact, no more than 'pharma-puppets' farming-out pocket-plundering pills and potions, the costs for which are slowly, but surely, bleeding our 'health systems' dry).

Individual by individual, each of us needs to reclaim control of our own health by recognizing and re-establishing our personal responsibility for our own wellbeing. It is possible...

The Key Objectives

I think that the key objectives we all need to espouse include:

• To Protect our Digestive System.

• To Protect our Skin.

• To Protect our Lungs

– by minimizing
toxic exposure in each case, and addressing the damage we may already have done through: Supporting & Strengthening Natural Immunity via optimal proper Nutrition, achieving appropriate Hydration and maximizing general Fitness.

...If you are interested in material that will help you achieve 'Self Growth' and 'self-preservation'
through these goals then I hope this is one place you will make a regular port
of call.

QUOTES:

"Man is the supreme Talisman. Lack of a proper
education hath, however, deprived him of that which he doth inherently
possess. Through a word proceeding out of the mouth of God he was
called into being; by one word more he was guided to recognize the
Source of his education; by yet another word his station and destiny
were safeguarded. The Great Being saith: Regard man as a mine rich in
gems of inestimable value. Education can, alone, cause it to reveal its
treasures, and enable mankind to benefit therefrom."

Bahá'u'lláh ("The Glory of God" - inspirational founder of the Bahá'i Faith, and God's most recent True Messenger who transmitted many words of essential enlightement direct from Him, the Creator of all things, for our age.)

"All
mankind is of one author, and is one volume; when one man dies, one
chapter is not torn out of the book, but translated into a better
language; and every chapter must be so translated...As therefore the
bell that rings to a sermon, calls not upon the preacher only, but upon
the congregation to come: so this bell calls us all: but how much more
me, who am brought so near the door by this sickness....No man is an
island, entire of itself...any man's death diminishes me, because I am
involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell
tolls; it tolls for thee."

John Donne

"Be the change that you want to see in the world."

Mohandas (Mahatma) Gandhi

“So powerful is the light of unity that it can illuminate the whole earth.”

Bahá'u'lláh
