Living Well - The Basic Steps

It is sad to reflect that most people are ignorant of the simple facts that would allow then to live a naturally healthy lifestyle. It is not a ‘magic bullet ‘ pill, because there is no such thing for anything. It is a combination of common sense, effort and the development of good habits. Helping us is the most amazing biological agent known, our own bodies. It has an amazing ability to repair and rebuild itself. A lot of the time no intervention is needed other than allowing it time, and resting in order to maximise the energy available for healing to take place. When assistance is required it is little more than a change in diet in order to supply some vital nutrients, or allow for the expulsion of some toxins agent. Today we often make the mistake of under rating the importance of food, food is a medicine in itself. Herbs and plants can supply healing agents in the form of vitamins, minerals, enzymes, amino acids, even hormones in their best bio-identical form (unlike pharmaceutical hormones).

In this part of our site we will try and show you the key components to healthy living. Please note that you will only get the best from these when you using them together, holistically treating your entire self. Cherry picking elements rarely works because no one part of our bodies work in isolation. This simple fact it the single biggest failing of modern medicine. For instance, herbal remedies work best when your body is properly hydrated with water and receiving a good nutritional balance of un processed foods

Today, despite living in a technically advanced society with access to plentiful food of near infinite varieties, and access to the most advanced medical care, innumerable drugs and increasing numbers of medical doctors hundred of millions of people in the industrialized world are suffering from chronic diseases. Why ?

The simple truth is that almost every chronic illness is the result in some way the result of one of those factors above.

Technically Advanced Society : technology is amazing, its transforms our lives in so many very positive ways but there is a price for this and that price is insidious pollution by chemicals that are often carcinogens, endocrine disruptors, or immune disruptors.

Food : Our food supply has been increasingly industrialized and while the results of often tasty they are nutritionally devoid of many and often all, necessary vitamins, minerals and enzymes rendering them at best nutritionally useless and at worst nothing short of a slow poison. The disaster of this industrialized food does not stop there because for some reason too many people consume far too much of it because it turns out that much of it is as addictive as heroin and every bit as damaging.

Medicine : Our advanced medical care is astounding, simply astounding. As one of our little group has found, it can hold a smashed and torn body at the moment of death, repair outrageous amounts of damage and give life back. It terms of trauma and acute care it has no equal. Where it fails is in the area of chronic illness and the promotion of the most simple, basic steps to basic health and it fails because of corruption of medicines principle from two sources – 1. Money and 2. Ego.

Pharmaceuticals : Without doubt there are many amazing and helpful drugs out there, but it has to be said that the vast majority are unnecessary, and even by the admission of several drug company CEO’s, less than half actually work. The price of these drugs, aside from their enormous cost, is damage and toxicity which over the long term leaves our bodies open to further problems. The financial power of the big drug companies and their never ending drive to protect market share and profits is undermining independent research (medical journals can no longer independently review studies because every subject matter expert now appears to have financial ties to the drug companies). Dug company lobbying of politicians is continually restricting people’s access to cheap effective health solutions.

Medical Doctors : Too many of the medical profession has evolved from ‘healers’ into little more than business men whose aim is not the improvement of their fellow man, but the improvement of their personal status and wealth. This Status and wealth brings a disproportionate degree of influence on national legislative bodies and now the medical industries professional bodies are able to dictate government policy. The situation is compounded by the fact that medical schools now receive very substantial amounts of financial assistance from drug companies both in their original training and in their ongoing training, leading to the corruption and censorship on what future doctors are taught.
