It's Not Your Fault You Are Fat

We spend more money on health care than ever before. We take more drugs than ever before, yet we are sicker than ever before. More people are getting sick than ever before in history. As I mentioned in the beginning of this book, there are no such things as medical facts. Everything is simply an opinion based on the information we have at the current time. Additionally, all "medical facts" that are presented are those opinions which make the most profits. If information about the prevention, cure or diagnosis of disease was found to have an adverse effect on publicly traded companies' profits (primarily the pharmaceutical industry and the medical industry), then that "medical fact" will not be presented at all, it will be debunked and it will be suppressed.

There is an underground movement which includes hundreds of thousands of health-care practitioners who treat patients every day and see people get healed every single day. These health-care practitioners do not use drugs or surgery, they use all-natural methods. The individual patients who are cured know that these all-natural treatments work. There are no complaints lodged with any government agency. Yet the FDA and other government agencies are on a mission to stamp out and wipe out all of these natural health-care practitioners. Why? Because they cut into the profits of the drug companies.

Over the years, the pharmaceutical industry has come up with different theories about why people get sick. First it was bacteria and germs. The super wonder drug of the day was antibiotics, which were touted as the method that would eliminate disease forever and cure all illness, sickness and diseases. The theory was that all disease was caused by germs, primarily bacteria. This theory has proved to be wrong. Stronger and stronger antibiotics are continually developed, yet people continue to get sicker, and sicker, and sicker. More people are getting more diseases than ever before.

The next theory was that viruses were the cause of all illness and disease. Unfortunately, few people know that antibiotics have no effect on viruses. The doctors continually prescribe antibiotics at the drop of a hat. People have been brainwashed into thinking that antibiotics are needed when they feel sick, and go to their doctors and demand antibiotics. The doctor, who unfortunately is in a business and understands his patient is really a customer, has to make the customer happy and prescribes the antibiotic. If the doctor does not, the patient (aka, the customer) will simply find another doctor who will prescribe an antibiotic. The Associated Press reported that overuse of broad-spectrum antibiotics for minor infection poses a serious health threat. The government estimates that half of the one hundred million antibiotic prescriptions written each year are totally unnecessary. Still, people continue to get more diseases, more sickness and more illness.

The current theory of the day is all sickness, diseases, and illnesses are caused by genetic defects. Of course the only answer is drugs. Drugs are now being researched and looked at to handle these genetic defects. The new method of making billions of dollars in profit is to come up with a genetic defect for every problem a person has. We hear it every day, "Oh, you're fat because you have a genetic defect, and a drug is being worked on that can solve that genetic defect and make you thin." "Diabetes is nothing more than genetics, so we'll work on a drug that will correct that genetic disposition and solve the problem." Keep in mind that drug companies really do not want to cure disease as they claim. If they came up with a cure, they would be out of business.

Think of herpes. Herpes is a virus. We hear ads on TV every day that say "there is no cure for herpes"; therefore, in order to suppress the symptoms, take our beautiful, wonderful drug every day for the rest of ,your life. Imagine what would happen to the publicly traded company and their stock price if they announced "Here is a cure for herpes, simply take this herb for thirty days and you will never have a herpetic breakout ever again. By the way, this herb is not patented and it only costs three dollars." That company would lose billions of dollars in profits and valuation. Its stock price would plummet. Therefore, there is no incentive to cure herpes. The incentive is to keep you brainwashed into believing there is no cure for herpes, and the only solution to the "symptoms" is drugs Remember, the FDA and the drug companies work hand in hand. If I happen to know a cure for herpes, I cannot say so. Because if I say so I am now making a medical claim and, according to the FDA, I am now breaking the law. Even if what I am saying is true, I am still breaking the law. The FDA will then come in with their federal agents with their guns drawn, arrest me, throw me in jail, confiscate any papers I have (and any of the harmless herb), suppress the information and outlaw it because there is no "credible scientific evidence." They will then put out press releases and statements of "fact" that I am a charlatan selling snake oil and have no scientific evidence to substantiate that what I am saying is true. Unfortunately, that's how the system works.

Later in this book I will tell you how we are going to change the system by blowing the whistle on the pharmaceutical industry, the FDA, the FTC, the crooked charities and foundations, the associations, and the politicians. I am going to name names and expose the individual people whose identities have been kept a secret up until now. Isn't it strange that you are never informed of the identity of the directors or major shareholders of these organizations? These individual people hide behind corporations, trusts and a maze of legal structures so that their true identities remain hidden. If the money trail were followed, it would shock you to find that it leads to a small group of billionaires from around the world that are truly pulling the strings. Through class action lawsuits and a grassroots campaign, we will get the truth out about health care. The trend will reverse, drug use will go down and people will stop getting sick. This is my mission. I am spending my fortune to help make this come to pass. I am doing this for you; I am doing this for society in general. I am putting virtually everything I have emotionally, mentally, and financially into this mission of changing the system.

So why do you get sick? Is it germs? Is it bacteria? Is it viruses? Is it genetics? Well let's think about it. You don't catch cancer. Your body develops cancer. You don't catch diabetes. Your body develops diabetes. You don't catch obesity. Your body becomes fat and obese. You don't catch heartburn or acid reflux, as it is called today. It's developed. You don't catch headaches, you don't catch fibromyalgia, you don't catch back pain, you don't catch arthritis, you don't catch PMS and you don't catch impotence. These are all "medical conditions" that are developed in the body. You don't catch them. It's not a germ. It's not a virus. It's not bacteria. The majority of illness is in fact self-inflicted. Drugs are not the answer. You don't have a headache because you have an aspirin deficiency. The question is, why do human beings have so much illness?

First of all you have to realize that being sick is not normal and it is not the natural state of the body. Your body is not supposed to get sick. Think about this startling fact. Animals in the wild never get heart attacks Let me say that again, animals in the wild never get heart attacks. Why do humans? Animals in the wild don't get cancer. Animals in the wild virtually never get sick. Animals virtually never get sick, except of course when they are in captivity. When animals are under human care and get vaccine injections, drugs, and human processed food, animals succumb to many of the diseases that humans are riddled with.

Think about this: Animals do not exercise and have no obesity or weight problem. Animals don't go to doctors and live to be ten to twenty times their maturity age. Chimpanzees and gorillas are great examples. They don't lose their teeth, they don't have arthritis, they don't have diabetes, they don't need insulin shots, they don't have cancer, they don't have asthma, they don't have allergies, they are not constipated, they don't have insomnia, and they live to be an equivalent of about 180 years old. Interestingly enough, they go through their entire lives without taking any prescription or nonprescription drugs.

So is there a way that we as human beings can do some very simple and easy things that can keep us disease free, illness free and full of life, energy, and vitality? The answer is: absolutely yes! Let's go back to the cause of all disease and the reason why we are sick.

Think about the fact that there are cultures around the world where the people have never had cancer or heart disease, or acid reflux disease, or prostate problems, etc. Yet when these people start living a western lifestyle, amazing things begin to happen to their health. They get fat, they start getting sick, and they begin to develop all of the common diseases we hear about today. The question is: Why do human beings living a western lifestyle have more sickness and disease than other human beings around the globe? The answer is, no one knows! The medical industry presents information as if they do know. They claim they have "scientific evidence" proving the truth of their theories. The fact is, what the medical industry has are only theories. When you investigate what is being presented as fact, you find that they are actually only theories that are nothing more than the opinions of individual people. Einstein's theory of relativity is presented as a fact, but people forget it's called the theory of relativity and not the fact of relativity.

The term "scientific evidence" is one of the greatest deceptions of all time. First, this "scientific evidence" is paid for and manufactured by the corporations that it will benefit. Rarely does an independent, unbiased third party produce any of this "scientific evidence." If the "scientific evidence" is so accurate, why are the conclusions and results constantly being disproved when new research is produced? You are led to believe that "scientific evidence" proves that something is true. This is a false assumption. Every day we hear "new research shows old research to be false." The bottom line is, you will hear the term "scientifically proven" used when the medical community claims they know the cause of disease. You will hear medical doctors make statements of fact when, in reality, they are only opinions. You are being misled and you are being lied to. You are being deceived. The truth is nobody knows why people are getting so sick, we can only guess and come up with our own theories and conclusions.
So, based on personal experience, reading thousands of pages of documents, and hearing the firsthand accounts from thousands of people and health-care practitioners around the world, I have come up with what I believe to be the cause of virtually all sickness and disease in the body.

There are only two reasons why a person becomes ill:

1. They "catch" something. This means your body picked up a "germ," generally a virus or bacteria.

2. You "develop" an illness or disease. This means there is some imbalance in the body, something is not working right, and an illness or disease develops. Common diseases in this category include heart disease, cancer, diabetes, acid reflux, arthritis, etc.

Remember, in our search for the ultimate cause of all illness and the ultimate cure for all illnesses, we must always ask the question "What, caused that?" With this in mind, let's start with "catching something."

One may say that the "cause" of catching a germ is pretty evident. You obviously caught the germ from someone else who had it. This is where medical science stops. They claim that drugs must be developed to kill these bacteria and viruses. However, they are asking the wrong question. The fact is that we are all exposed to bacteria and viruses on a daily basis. If one person in your home or office has the flu, then every single person has been exposed to and "caught" the flu virus. When anthrax was found in the envelope, not every single person in that building got anthrax! The question is not whether you will pick up bacteria or a virus, the real question is why do some people succumb to the bacteria and virus and get sick, and other people do not?

Take two people. Expose them both to the flu virus at the same time. One person comes down with all of the symptoms of the flu and becomes very sick. The other person shows no symptoms whatsoever, stays healthy, and does not "get the flu." They both got the flu virus! One person succumbed to it and got sick; the other person did not and remained healthy. Throughout your life you will pick up thousands of bacteria and viruses. That is natural. The real question to ask is why your body does not do what it was designed to do: fight off and handle the bacteria or virus. Why did you succumb to the bacteria or virus? The answer: Your body is out of balance and your immune system is weak. If your body was in balance, a state called homeostasis, and your immune system was strong, you would never show any symptoms of any of the viruses or bacteria that you pick up during your lifetime. You would never get sick because of a virus or bacteria. Then the question becomes, "What is causing my body to be out of balance, and what is causing my immune system to be weak?"

I will give you the answer in a moment, but first let's go to the second reason people get sick. Remember, you get sick because you either "catch something" or something develops in the body on its own. You "catch something" because your body is out of balance and your immune system is weak. You develop something in the body either because your body is out of balance, or a "toxin" is getting into your body and causing the problem to develop. So let's walk through this nice and slow.

The reasons you get sick are:

1. You catch something and your body cannot fight it off, therefore

In both of the above cases the causes are the same.

A. Your immune system is weak.

B. Toxins are attacking your body.

If we keep asking the question, "What caused that...", we can then conclude that all illness comes from one or a combination of four things.

1. You have too many toxins in your body.

2. You have nutritional deficiencies.

3. You are exposed and negatively affected by electromagnetic chaos.

4. You have trapped mental and emotional stress.

These are the only four reasons why your immune system could be weak or why genetically weak areas in the body can break down, thus allowing illness and disease to develop. These four things cause the body to be "out of balance."

I will address each of these four issues. Let's start with toxins. What is a toxin? A toxin is a poison. It is a substance that if taken in large doses can cause severe illness or death.

In relation to toxins, the question is what is causing toxins to be put into our body? The answer is that we have not been educated to know what these toxins are. And secondly, these toxins are being put in virtually everything we eat without our knowledge. Now, here is the big one: The most toxic thing you can put in your body, and the number one cause of virtually all illness and disease, is prescription and nonprescription drugs!

In my opinion, probably the number one reason people are sick is because of the amount of drugs they take. The statistics show very conclusively that the more prescription and nonprescription drugs a person takes, the sicker they are. Why? Because all drugs have negative side effects. Let me say it again, all drugs have negative side effects! If you are taking a drug to suppress one symptom, that drug is causing some other major problem to start developing in your body. Even if you stop taking that drug, the wheels have been set in motion, and in a few weeks or a few months—boom—you have some more symptoms caused by the first drug you took a few months ago. You go to your doctor, and he gives you another drug to suppress these new symptoms. This new drug had negative side effects, and after you start taking it the wheels will have already been put in motion, voila! You have new symptoms which were in fact caused by the drug you were just taking. You go to your doctor and he gives you another drug. Drugs cause medical problems!

Drugs only suppress symptoms, they do not treat the cause. It's a great business for the drug companies. If they get you taking one drug, man, they've got you. Because that drug is not only going to suppress the symptom, probably, it is also going to cause you to have another symptom in a very short period of time, for which you will be prescribed another drug. Once they get you to take one drug to suppress a symptom (keeping in mind that it is not addressing the cause anyway), the likelihood of you taking another drug, and then another drug, and then another drug, keeps going up, and up, and up. The more drugs you take, the sicker you get, simply because drugs are major poisons, drugs are major toxins. Someone says, "Drugs can't really be poison, can they?" Then why don't you take thirty of them right now and see what happens? You'll probably die! If you eat thirty apples you're not going to die. You may feel full, but you are not going to die. Think about it.

Now, I love it when somebody says, "Well, it's in such a small amount," referring to the dosage. What if I put the same amount of my urine in your food? Would you eat it? Of course not!

This relates to nonprescription over-the-counter drugs as well. Let me he very clear. All nonprescription over-the-counter drugs and all prescription drugs CAUSE ILLNESS AND DISEASE. The scary thing is the drug companies and the FDA actually know it. The drug companies know that all nonprescription and prescription drugs make you sicker. Yes, they may temporarily suppress the symptoms you are experiencing, but in a very short period of time they cause you to become sicker. A good example of this is Vioxx. Vioxx is a pain medication. It was an outrageously expensive drug that reduces pain no better than an over-the-counter drug. The drug company that sold Vioxx made billions in profits. Whistleblowers now say that both the FDA and the drug manufacturer of Vioxx knew that this drug would cause over 100,000 people to die. Whistleblowers say that the decision was made to let the people die because of the potential huge profits that could be made. In my opinion, this happens all the time. Over-the-counter drugs are some of the biggest culprits. Many of these drugs were approved by the FDA twenty, thirty, forty years ago. The FDA virtually approved everything back then. The problem is once a drug is approved by the FDA, whether it's a prescription drug or a nonprescription drug, there is virtually no follow-up research or testing to verify the long-term effectiveness of the drug and the long-term safety. We are seeing now that over-the-counter drugs that have been sold for thirty years are being looked at by some independent organizations and are being shown to be incredibly dangerous and ineffective. These are drugs that were approved by the FDA and touted as safe and effective. Now, thirty years later, these same drugs that people have been taking nonstop are being shown to be totally ineffective and incredibly dangerous. These over-the-counter everyday drugs are being shown to actually cause illness and disease. Cholesterol lowering drugs, for example, are a major contributor to illness and disease. All cholesterol lowering drugs have an adverse effect on the liver. The liver is the only fat metabolizing organ in the body. The liver is needed for proper body function. When the liver is adversely affected you are prone to diabetes, acid reflux, constipation, colon cancer, heart disease, asthma, arthritis, and dozens of other illnesses and disease. Do cholesterol lowering drugs actually, specifically, and directly cause these illnesses and disease? No one really knows for sure, but it certainly is obvious to anyone with half a brain and a little bit of logic that these absolutely 100 percent CONTRIBUTE to the development of disease in the body, The bottom line is all, I repeat, all over-the-counter nonprescription drugs and prescription drugs CAUSE illness and disease.

This is the big shocker. The industry that is promoting itself as the group dedicated to the prevention and cure of disease is actually the group causing more sickness and disease to occur than ever before. All drugs are chemicals. All drugs have negative side effects. All drugs can cause death. All drugs are poisons. An outstanding book, which I highly recommend that you read, is Overdose: The Case Against the Drug Companies, written by Dr. J. Cohen M.D. Did you know that 250,000 Americans die every year from prescription or nonprescription drugs? That over 2,000 people every year die from taking aspirin? That there are dozens of articles showing how prescription and nonprescription drugs are causing all illness and diseases. Drugs are not the answer to preventing and curing disease. They are the cause! Even if drugs do not directly cause a disease, drugs cause the body to go completely out of balance, and they weaken the immune system so that diseases become more prevalent. People who get sick the most often are those who have taken the most drugs.

Let's back up just for a moment. Our conclusion is that all illness is caused by four things, one being the toxins in the body. When you have lots of toxins in the body, your body goes out of balance and your immune system is weakened. When this occurs your body cannot fight off any of the viruses or bacteria that you pick up, thus you get sick more often, with more severity, and for longer periods of time. You also have an environment that is very likely to produce illness and disease. I pointed out earlier that the number one cause of the high amounts of toxicity in the body is prescription and nonprescription drugs. The amount of sickness, the increased severity and increased duration, is in direct relation to the increase in prescription and nonprescription drug use.

However, illness and disease become complicated issues when you look at the hundreds of variables that are involved. I want to generally address what you should do, and then in the next chapter I'll give you some specifics depending on your current situation (keeping in mind that I am not a medical doctor). I am not giving medical advice, and I cannot cure any disease. As a matter of fact I believe that there is not a single person or substance on the planet that can cure a disease in the traditional, medically accepted sense . The only thing that happens is a health-care practitioner can do some things, using all-natural remedies, that will help your body heal itself. No one can "cure" a disease. Only your body can cure or heal itself. I do believe that there are certain things you can do to help your body heal itself better, or cure itself of illness, sickness and disease. I do believe that there are certain things you can do that can temporarily address some of the symptoms, ultimately allowing your body to regain its natural balanced state where illness and disease cannot exist.

So let me expand on this point. The "too much toxins in the body" comes down to this:

1. What goes in the body

2. What comes out of the body

3. Exercise

4. Rest

S. Thoughts

6. What you say

So let's go through the list and address some common misconceptions, and see what you should be doing if you want to virtually eliminate any disease. Maybe some of you reading this book have a disease or know someone who does. Maybe others are concerned about getting a disease and your major interest is doing the steps necessary to prevent that disease or illness or sickness. Keep in mind the natural discomfort, illness, disease or sickness you are out of balance. It is not the natural state that your body was designed for Your body was designed to be healthy and never get sick. Think about that.
The six areas listed above have a direct relation to toxicity in the body. It is interesting to note that when you are toxic, your body becomes highly acidic. Your body pH should be alkaline. When your body pH is acidic you are susceptible to illness and disease. When your body pH is alkaline, you virtually can never get sick! Every single person who has cancer has a pH that is too acidic! Let me show you how each of the above six areas cause you to become too toxic, thus more acidic, and thus more prone to illness and disease.

Let's look at what we put into our bodies. We put things in our body through our mouth, our nose, our eyes, our ears, and through our skin. Let's talk about what goes into our mouths.

I think Jack LaLane said it best. Jack LaLane is an incredible human being. He is in his nineties; he is vibrant, healthy and strong. He doesn't get sick. He is a dynamic, healthy individual. Jack says: "If man made it, don't eat it." That's basically the bottom line. What you put in your mouth should be as close to as nature intended as possible. If man made it, you shouldn't eat it. Now, if you go out and eat an apple you may think, "This is an apple; man didn't make it, therefore I can eat it." Well, we have a problem. Virtually all fruits and vegetables are, in today's day and age, man-made.

Did you know that virtually all fruits and vegetables have been genetically modified by man to become more disease resistant? You have to understand that the food industry is just the same as the pharmaceutical industry—it's all about the money.

A food manufacturer, or for that matter a farmer, is in business and has to sell more of his product and produce that product at a lower cost to make more money. So what farmers do is say, "Hmm, how can I grow the most apples or the most carrots or the most onions on my field? How can I produce them in the shortest period of time, at the lowest cost, so I can sell them at the highest possible profit?" The answer is: Mess around with mother nature and change these natural fruits and vegetables with some man-made concoction that came out of a laboratory so that they grow bigger and faster totally against the natural course of things, and are resistant to disease. "That way I can make sure I have a full crop and I can sell more of my produce and make more money." So through genetic modification, your all-natural carrot is no longer all-natural, it is really a man-made product.

But it gets worse, because that farmer has to squeeze in and produce more carrots per acre in order to make more profit. He uses chemical fertilizers and chemical pesticides and herbicides that he sprays on these natural products like carrots. When you then take that natural piece of fruit or vegetable, it is loaded with toxic chemicals. It also has much less nutritional value than it would have fifty or sixty years ago. It has been said that you would need to eat up to five times the amount of food your grandparents did just to receive the same nutritional value. That's why if you are going to eat fruits and vegetables—or any food for that matter—which I highly encourage of course, they must be organically grown. Grains such as rice and wheat are the same. You need to be buying organically grown food.

In America, as opposed to many other countries, virtually everything you put in your mouth is toxic or contains toxins. Virtually everything made by man is toxic. This does not mean everything that is natural is not toxic. There are plants that are poisonous and if consumed could kill you. But, virtually everything made by man is a poison. Today, we put more toxins in our body than ever before.

Virtually everything that you put in your mouth has pesticides, herbicides, antibiotics, growth hormone, genetically altered material, or chemical food additives. Even when you eat an apple you are taking in all the deadly chemicals that were used in the growing and harvesting of that apple. All of our fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts and seeds are grown with highly poisonous chemical fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides. Many have been genetically modified, turning them into poisonous material. Even when you consume fresh fruits and vegetables, you are ingesting small amounts of poison.

The same conditions apply in the meat industry. Like farmers and other food producers, the meat industry needs to create a lot of product cheaply and quickly, and sell it for as high a profit as possible. To that end, the industry uses growth hormones to speed an animal's growth (contributing to the record levels of obesity and early puberty in our children); antibiotics to keep the animal healthy in unsanitary and inhumane, though economical, conditions (explaining the contemporary failure of antibiotics—the wonder drug of the 20th century—in humans); feeds the animals unnatural feed diets that not only pump more chemicals into the meat, but also so upset the animals' systems that they become out of balance, and diseased, and pass those imbalances and diseases along to those who consume the meat. Many meat products are also "aged." This means the dead animal flesh is allowed to rot, permitting deadly bacteria to grow. Remember, if it's not organic, if man has made it, don't eat it!

The same holds true with dairy products. Because of the use of drugs, growth hormones, pasteurization and homogenization, dairy products today are a major health concern unless they are organic, not pasteurized, and not homogenized. There are two main things to consider when looking at dairy products, one of which is pasteurization and the other homogenization. Pasteurization simply heats the dairy product to a very high temperature to kill any bacteria. The major problem is it also kills the living enzymes that are in the milk, making it much harder to digest in the body and thus making the milk a totally unnatural product. But more importantly, and more dangerous, is homogenization.

Do you remember the milkman? We used to have the milkman come to the house to deliver milk. Why did we have to have a milkman? Why couldn't we just buy our milk in the store? The reason is the milk went bad very quickly. It spoiled within just a few days.

The food industry said "We're losing money by not selling milk in our stores. We can't sell milk because it goes bad too quickly." So the industry came up with an incredible solution, a process called homogenization. When the milkman delivered our milk, you may remember that the cream separated from the milk. You had to shake up the milk before you drank it. The process of homogenization actually spins the milk at a very high rate breaking down the clusters of molecules within the milk so that you don't have any separation of the cream and the milk. Therefore the milk will not spoil within a few days, it can actually last a few weeks before going bad. Now that the food industry can have milk shipped to them, they can put it on the store shelf and they can sell it, there is no more need for the milkman. The problem is homogenized and pasteurized milk, and all dairy products, are unnatural. The clusters of molecules are so small that when you ingest them they virtually scar your arteries. They clog up your digestive system, making it very difficult to digest food, which is one of the major causes of acid reflux disease, obesity, allergies, and constipation. And the scarring of the arteries causes the LDL cholesterol to attach itself to the artery, which is one of the major causes or arteriosclerosis, which is one of the major causes of heart disease. The bottom line is pasteurized and homogenized dairy products are unnatural; raw 100% organic dairy products are natural. Organic, raw, natural dairy products are natural. Remember Jack LaLane said, "If man made it, don't eat it."

When you eat fish you are only slightly better off. Many kinds of fish are "farmed," meaning that highly toxic feed and chemicals are used to make the fish grow unnaturally fast to unnaturally large sizes. Other poisonous chemicals are used in the processing of the fish before sale to consumers. When you consume this "man-made" fish, you are also taking in all the poisons and toxins that have been used in its production. Fish in the wild are much better. However, because of the massive dumping of poisonous chemicals into out lakes, rivers, and oceans, many wild fish have been found to have abnormally high levels of toxic chemicals in them as well. When you eat ANY food that has been produced by large food manufacturers, the fact is that you are 100 percent guaranteed to be ingesting highly toxic and poisonous man-made chemicals.

I know this sounds terrible. I know you are probably wondering what do I do; how do I eat? The good news is there are some very SIMPLE and EASY solutions which I will explain in a later chapter. I am trying to point out to you here that you are highly toxic, that you are constantly loading your body with toxins, which are one of the leading reasons you develop disease and are susceptible to viruses and bacteria. When I tell people they are toxic, most have a hard time believing that they are, but the fact is you are toxic tight now. An independent study on women's breast milk showed a startling fact. In virtually 100 percent of the women tested it was shown that their breast milk contained high percentages of jet rocket fuel! That's right, jet rocket fuel in virtually 100 percent of the women's breast milk tested. How can this be? Just look up in the sky. When a plane flies overhead there is a "them trail." The chemical residues fall down from the sky and we breathe them in. They also infect the rainwater and contaminate our water supplies, which are used in the irrigation of our food. The actual chemical poisons are in the food we eat!

Let me give you some other things to consider when it comes to understanding that what we put in our bodies makes us highly toxic and susceptible to disease. Keeping in mind in the next chapter I will be giving you some very simple solutions to solve this problem and the natural cures.
What else do we put in our body through our mouth? If it's in a box, if it's in a jar, if it's in a can, it's been processed by the food industry. The food industry, keep in mind, consists of publicly traded corporations that have one objective: to make more money and increase shareholder value. And the way they do that is to sell more food, and produce that food at a lower cost. Always remember that, it's always about the money.

The food industry puts tens of thousands of chemical ingredients into the food and, in many cases, they do not have to list those ingredients on the label. How do they get away with that? Through our lobbyist friends, and by paying off politicians and members of the Food and Drug Administration. It's all about the money.

So why is that bad?

The additives being put in the food are unnatural, toxic chemicals. They adversely affect the body; they suppress your immune system making it more susceptible to disease; they make you age quicker, and they turn your body from the natural alkaline pH state to the acid pH state, which means you can easily be prone to cancer, heart disease, diabetes, allergies, etc., etc., etc.

Not only are these chemical additives toxic, when they are put into the food the processing of the food strips away much of the nutritional value. As I mentioned before, if you were to eat a regular apple, it would have only one-fifth of the nutrition of an apple fifty years ago. But once the food is processed and put in a box or a can, you're going to have to eat 100 times more to get the same nutritional value; nutrition is virtually wiped out. So in addition to having the poisons put in your system from the chemicals not even listed on the label, the food you are getting has almost no nutritional value. Plus, these food additives actually block absorption of nutrients. Not only are you not getting enough nutrients from the food you are eating, but what little nutrients you are getting are being blocked and not absorbed. This means everyone has nutritional deficiencies causing imbalance, and a weakened immune system, which makes you both susceptible to viruses and bacteria, and causes your body to develop diseases and pain.

Why are these food additives put in the food anyway? Well it's very interesting, I was actually at a health spa where there was a gentleman who was a senior executive at a major food processing company, one of the largest producers of canned goods in the world. We were talking about the food additives and, yes, he admitted that there are thousands and thousands of chemical additives put into the food, and many of these additives are not listed on the label at all. I suggested food additives were dangerous to a person's health and were one of the reasons why people are so sick today. He assured me that these chemicals were totally safe, and that they were in such small amounts that they would have no effect whatsoever on the human body.

I then asked him a question. I said that, if they are totally safe, if I were to give you a glass of one of these chemicals, would you drink it? He stammered and stuttered and went back and forth a few times. I must have asked him the question ten times without getting an answer. Finally he said no, he wouldn't drink it because it could potentially be a problem. He finally admitted that the ingredients were, in fact, toxic. But, he repeated that, because they were in such small amounts, they had no effect at all on the human body. I then asked him the million dollar question. I said, "If you are putting such a small amount in, and these ingredients have no effect at all on the human body, then they must have no effect at all on the food. So why do you have to put them in the food?" Again, he couldn't answer the question. After grilling this man, he finally admitted that they in fact have a major effect. They preserve the food and give it taste. But I could tell that there was something else that these ingredients did that he wasn't telling. I then searched through my network of insiders, my network of whistleblowers, and here is what I discovered:

The food industry, just like the tobacco industry is hiding a dirty little secret. The food industry is putting ingredients in the food knowingly and on purpose, because these secret and in many cases illegal ingredients make a person hungry, make a person fat and make them addicted to the food! Now listen and pay attention, because what I am telling you is one of the biggest news stories of the century! The food industry, an industry of publicly traded companies, is all about the money.

Imagine this conversation actually happening: A junior executive walks into the boardroom and says "Gentlemen, in order for us to increase shareholder value and the price of our stock, we need to sell more food and produce this food at the lowest possible cost. And I have the solution. There are certain ingredients that, when mixed together and added to the food, actually make people hungrier. So that when they buy our product, they actually have to eat more of it, they can't stop eating it, it makes them hungrier. There are also certain chemicals we can put in the food that will food and they will have to buy more food. And there are certain ingredients that we can put in the food that gets the people chemically addicted to the food, so that they have to have the food, they can't stop eating it; and if they stop eating it, they will get he Arlaches, become nauseous, they'll be upset, depressed and anxious until they eat some more of the food, very similar to opium or cocaine."

Is this crazy? Well, remember Coca Cola? Coca Cola was colored sweetened water which had cocaine in it. Coca Cola was the name because Coca referred to the coca plant and Cola referred to the cola nut. The cola nut had the caffeine, and the coca or the cocaine got the person physically addicted. It was quietly removed back in the 1920s, without much fanfare or media exposure.

Right now as you are reading this, the food industry—like every other industry—has to increase profits, and the only way they can do so is to sell you more food. Why is it that Americans are the fattest people on the planet? Remember, it's all about the money.

Oh, there are a couple of other scary things as well. Many of the ingredients they put in the food make you depressed, which is really good for the drug companies because if you are depressed, you have to go to the drug companies to handle your depression. Interestingly enough, some of the food additives which are put in the food to make you depressed are manufactured by the same companies that sell you the antidepressant drugs It's a fantastic money-making business folks. Remember, it's all about the money.

There is another reason why chemical additives and the processing of food are bad. Food must have nutritional value for it to be used by the body, but food also has a "vibration." Food actually has measurable "life force energy." When food is chemically altered, or genetically altered, or highly processed, or contains chemical additives the energetic vibration or "life force energy" of the food is dramatically altered. At the back of the book make sure you read my article on microwaved food. Microwaving of food radically changes the energetic structure of the food. When the "vibration" of food or "life force energy" of food is radically altered by chemical additives, processing, or genetic engineering, consuming and eating that food actually causes the body to go out of balance and CAUSES disease to develop. Yes, you are reading this right. From an energetic standpoint eating a genetically altered apple that has been sprayed with pesticides actually can give you cancer, as well as dozens of other diseases!

Without giving a physics lesson, when you eat anything you are getting the energy from that thing. How do we know this is true? Well, think about it. You take a pot and you put soil in it. You put in ten pounds of soil, and you put in one little tiny seed, and every day you add some water, and at the end of a year you have this big plant. Well, take the plant out, shake off the soil from the roots and weigh the soil. Guess what? You still have ten pounds of soil. The only thing you added was some water. If you were to measure the water, you may have added about five pounds of water. Theoretically, the plant should weigh no more than five pounds if it grabbed 100 percent of the water. But the plant weighs fifty pounds. Wow! What happened? How did fifty pounds of mass and matter magically appear? It didn't eat the soil, the ten pounds of soil is still there, and there were only five pounds of water added. How did that plant appear out of virtually nothing? This is a very important point; think about it again. The plant, like all living things, was virtually created out of "energy." Energy is "invisible matter.'

Human beings are the same. If you take a little baby, and you weigh every bit of food that goes in and then subtract all the excretions that come out through the urine, the stool, and sweating through the skin, you would see that whatever goes in comes out. If tens pounds of food and water are put in, guess what? Ten pounds of stuff comes out, but the little baby grows from fifteen pounds to fifty pounds to 150 pounds. But everything that goes in, all the liquid and everything we eat, comes out. How does that happen? Well guess what? Science really can't give you an answer. The answer is that we get the energy from the food and from sunlight and from air; and that's how matter is manifested—it's the energy.
So if we go through everything that we put in our mouth, whatever we eat and whatever we drink, ask yourself: is it as nature intended, or has it been screwed up by some greedy individual who doesn't care about your health, who doesn't care if you get sick, who doesn't care if you're depressed, or if you get fat? The only thing they care about is making money. Remember, it's always all about the money.
So what do we eat and drink? Well, ideally you want to eat all- natural things, fruits and vegetables, and get them organic. When you cook them it destroys some of the living enzymes, so raw is better than cooked. Should you become a vegetarian? I don't know if you should be a vegetarian or not. Everyone is a little different. What works for one person may work slightly better or worse for someone else. I can tell you this. I believe that if you add or increase the amount of raw fruits and vegetables in your diet, you'll be better off.

Here's the other big problem. You can't look at food labels, you have to read the ingredients. Because if the label says all-natural, it's usually a big lie. Why? The food industry has lobbied the politicians to allow certain totally man-made ingredients to be classified as all-natural. Keep in mind that there are over 15,000 ingredients that don't even have to be put on the label. So if you see something that says "all-natural," it just means that the government has allowed them to put that on so they can sell more of the food. Ideally, if it's in a box or can, don't even eat it. Some people go into "health food stores" and assume that everything that is in the health food store is good for them. It's not, you have to read labels; and ideally, if it's in a box, if it's in a bottle or jar, don't consume it.

Which leads me to restaurants. The big question is: What can I eat in restaurants? The answer: nothing!
You may say, "Well, I can't live like that." I know it is unrealistic for you to completely change what you have been doing your whole life. But realistically, there Is nothing in a restaurant that can be classified as safe. Yes, I eat at restaurants. Why? Because I'm not fanatical, and I am not asking you to be fanatical. Now I do know some people who are fanatical. They eat nothing but raw organic food, and these people are absolutely amazing physical specimens. However, I live in the real world, and so do you. Just do the best you Can. Realistically, stay away from anything in the fast-food restaurant. They are categorically the worst.

Let me say this again because it is so important. There are over 15,000 toxic chemicals that are allowed to be added to food without being listed on the label. Every year, the food industry puts a higher percentage of toxic chemicals in our food. These chemicals are produced in secret laboratories where the security is higher than Fort Knox! When asked why these chemicals are put into the food, the answers are vague and ambiguous. However, from information I have received from "insiders," I can now blow the whistle on the real reasons these chemicals are being added to our food without our knowledge. Remember, it always goes back to "it's all about the money."

Remember, as I've said before, food companies have one goal: to make more money. Again, as I've said before, the only way they can make more money is to produce the food the cheapest way possible, sell it at the highest price possible, and sell more and more food. The scientists who work in these secret laboratories are developing chemicals and combinations of chemicals that are added to our food and not put on the label. This is legal because the food industry, through the lobbyists' system of legal bribery, has gotten Congress to pass certain legislation allowing this to occur. These secret poisonous chemicals are specifically designed to do the following things:

• Preserve the food. In order to produce food as cheaply as possible, it is sometimes required that chemicals be added to the food so that it will not spoil even after years of just sitting around. We have all heard the story of the thirty-year-old Twinkle that looked and tasted the same as it did the day it was manufactured.

• Taste and texture. Much of today's food is produced in such an unnatural way that is has very little nutritional value and very little taste. Chemicals must be added to make the food taste like it is supposed to taste. A major hamburger chain adds a chemical to its hamburgers to make them taste like a hamburger!

• To make you hungry! You are reading this right. The food industry knows that it must sell MORE food to make more money. If it can add a chemical that actually makes you hungrier, you will eat more food and they will make more money!

• To make you fatter. Fat people eat more food. Chemicals are being added to our food that actually make us gain weight. The more fat people there are, the more profits there are for the food industry. The most shocking part of this is one such chemical put in most "diet food." How sad that an unknowing consumer buys some food that has the word "diet" on it in the hopes of losing some weight, when actually eating the food causes them to gain weight.

• To get the person addicted to the product! Food manufacturers are knowingly putting chemicals into the food that cause the consumer to become physically addicted to it. We know that drugs, which are simply chemicals, can be incredibly physically and emotionally addictive. This practice is not new. In the book The Real Thing: The Truth and Power at the Coca Cola Company, the story of how cocaine was an important ingredient in Coca-Cola is exposed. One of the main reasons cocaine was such an important ingredient was that the consumer unknowingly became addicted to Coca-Cola. Having a person addicted to your product is good for your profits, but bad for the poor bastard who is addicted.

• To give you disease. As outrageous as it seems, it appears that insiders know that certain "food additives" cause specific diseases. If you knew that huge numbers of people would be coming down with a certain disease in the next five or ten years, you could invest in drug companies that are producing drugs that will be prescribed for this "new disease." When I talk about the greed of the people involved, 99 percent of those reading this have no comprehension of Just how the love of money has taken almost absolute control over these people's actions, ethics, and morals. Think about Howard Hughes. He was one of the richest men in the world, if not the richest. Yet, on his death bed, up until the hour he died, he was still trying to make more money!

Obviously, what I am saying here is my opinion and my conclusions. It is vehemently denied by the food industry and the FDA, but think about the same type of denials for years by the tobacco industry. I believe time will prove me absolutely correct.

The other important issue relating to the amounts of these chemicals is that chemicals ingested in the body do not necessarily leave the body. It appears that chemical fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, growth hormone, nonprescription and prescription drugs, and food additives such as artificial sweeteners, stay in the body and lodge in the fatty tissues. Since our brain is mostly fat, a large percentage of these chemicals accumulate there over the years. This is believed to be one of the main reasons that there is such a massive increase in depression, stress and anxiety, and learning disabilities like attention deficit disorder.

The bottom line is anything you eat or drink that has been genetically modified, processed by a large publicly traded food manufacturer, produced with herbicides, pesticides, and chemical fertilizers, or has chemical additives in it, "stresses" our body. When our body is "stressed" two things occur:

1. It suppresses your immune system, making you more susceptible to disease.

2. It can turn your body from the natural alkaline pH state, in which disease and illness and sickness cannot survive, to an acidic state in which diseases like cancer, heart disease and diabetes can thrive.

You have to ask yourself a question when you put something in your mouth: Could this have been made 100 years ago? If it couldn't, don't eat it. The reason it is being processed the way it is, is because somebody is making money. Remember, it's always about the money.

You see, the food industry is very, very persuasive. They try to make you believe that science is better than nature. Science is not better than nature. Science is only better for the food manufacturer, because it allows him to make more money. A good example of this is margarine. Margarine is produced by hydrogenating oil. What does that mean? It means taking oil and spinning it until it becomes a solid. The problem with hydrogenated oil is that it scars the arteries and causes heart disease. It's classified now as a trans fat, and finally we are hearing a little bit about the dangers of trans fats. We are finally being told that, oops! we've been saying to you that margarine is much better for you than butter; I guess we were wrong. I guess the man-made product is doing all types of damage to your health and we just didn't know about it. Or maybe they did know about it but, were making too much money and just decided not to tell anybody.

We have all-natural sugar, and then we have artificial sweeteners like saccharine, aspartame, and sucralose. You are led to believe that the chemical man-made sweeteners are so much better for your health than all-natural sugar. Nothing could be further from the truth. The artificial sweeteners are one of the major reasons that you are fat. They also cause depression. There was a great book written about this, Exitotoxins—The Taste That Kills, and another one called Aspartame (NutraSweet®)—Is It Safe? If it's made by man, don't eat it! Don't be tricked by all the advertising. Remember, it's all about the money.
The food industry has to convince you that you have to buy their chemically produced, man-made food stuffs, and that it's better than something all-natural. It's a lie! They are only trying to persuade you so they can make more money.

The processing of food causes another problem. Certain processing techniques change a natural food into an unnatural toxin. Let's go back to the dairy industry. How would you define milk? We hear a lot about milk. The dairy association obviously wants you to drink more milk. Remember, they don't care about you, they only care about the profits of its members that it represents, which in this case is all the people in the dairy industry. There have been thousands of studies on milk. Some say milk is good, others say milk is bad. Is there only one kind of milk? What kind of milk was used in the studies? If I were to tell you "milk" is good for you, do you think milk is milk is milk? There are many definitions and many kinds of milk. For example:

Is it cow's milk or goat's milk? Is the animal giving the milk injected with growth hormone and antibiotics? Is the animal giving the milk eating a natural diet of grass, or a man-made diet of genetically altered corn, ground up dead animals and other chemically produced material designed to increase milk production? Is the cow giving the milk allowed to wander and walk in the way nature intended, or is the animal confined to a pen and not allowed to move for its entire life? Has the animal been genetically modified and bred specifically for increased milk production and profits, or is it a natural animal bred according to nature? Is the animal sick and diseased, or healthy? Is the animal milked by a machine, causing blood and pus to be in the milk, or milked in a natural way without blood and pus? Is the milk heated to 220 degrees for thirty minutes, killing off all the natural living enzymes (pasteurization), or is the milk immediately put into cold storage? Is the milk immediately put in a glass bottle and delivered to your door by the milkman within four hours after coming out of the animal, or is the milk processed by adding chemicals to it, which are not listed on the label, and homogenized?

You see, if I say cow's milk or goat's milk is good for you, I mean the all-natural, raw, organic non-man-made version. Once the food industry gets involved and starts messing around so that they can make more money, everything gets screwed up and the new manmade unnatural products become toxic to the body. If it's made by man, don't eat it. Remember, science is not better than nature except when It comes to making money.

Another common food processing technique is irradiation. This is when foods such as fruits, vegetables, grains, meat, poultry and fish are zapped with radioactive beams of energy designed to kill any harmful bacteria, so you won't get violently sick or die when you eat it. This has been needed because the food processing system is producing food that has a higher chance of having deadly pathogens, therefore causing sickness or death. Irradiation changes the energetic frequency of the food, giving the food a frequency that is no longer life sustaining, but rather toxic to the body. This has been shown with Kirlian photography. If you take an apple and take a picture of it with Kirlian photography, you see a very beautiful pattern of energy surrounding the apple. If the apple is zapped with a microwave and a second Kirlian photograph is taken, you see the energy pattern around the apple has radically changed. The pattern is now jagged, rough, and erratic. The energy pattern is more like arsenic, a deadly poison. So, the processing of food changes food from a healthy, natural, life-sustaining fuel, to an unnatural manmade toxic poison.

If you read the labels of everything you put in your mouth, you would see the name of various chemicals. All the chemicals listed are dangerous man-made chemicals. They are poisons. If you were to take any of those chemicals and ingest a large amount at one time, you would probably die. Therefore they are in fact poisons. Think about the 15,000 chemicals that are in our food that do not have to be listed on the label. The point I am trying to make here is give you an understanding of why you get sick. Remember, you get sick because you either catch something or you develop something. Catching something is not a problem because your body is designed to fight off all infection and disease. Your body has the ability to kill viruses and bacteria, Your body does this when it is healthy and is in a balanced state; but when your body is loaded with toxins and your immune system is suppressed because of lack of nutrition or energetic frequency imbalances, you become susceptible to viruses and bacteria. You develop diseases because toxins, nutritional deficiencies, or energetic imbalances allow disease to develop in the genetically weak areas of your system. The point is we need to be aware that what we put in our bodies is actually giving us and causing us disease. It is important to understand why we have disease and illness, why we are sick, and what the causes are for us to totally understand how to cure these diseases. Most people are brainwashed into wanting a magic pill that will cure their disease. If you totally understand and comprehend why you are sick and why you get disease and why you develop illness, then you will understand the "natural cures" much more easily. As I mentioned earlier, this may sound overwhelming. Just go with the flow. The good news is I do have a SIMPLE and EASY solution. As I mentioned, there are ways where you can live a normal life and be disease free. The good news is you don't have to be a health fanatic to cure your illness and disease and live a life of health and vitality.

• • •

Now let's talk about what else you put in your mouth, primarily what you drink. There are two problems here. The first one is most people don't drink enough water, and the second one is the water you drink
is incredibly toxic. All tap water has chemicals put in it, primarily chlorine and fluoride. The level of toxicity of both chlorine and fluoride is incredible. Drinking chlorinated water, which is virtually all tap water, causes scarring of the arteries. When the arteries are scarred, the LDL cholesterol attaches itself to the artery causing arteriosclerosis.

Most people are dehydrated, which causes all types of medical problems including pain, stiffness, arthritis, asthma, allergies and other medical issues. Dehydration means the cells just simply don't have enough fluid. It can affect your energy and your sleep, but the major thing that it has an effect on is the ability to get toxins and waste matter out of the body and out of cells. Cells can live forever in a laboratory, so long as the fluid in which the cell is living is constantly cleaned and changed. If you take a cell and basically put in fluid, the cell excretes waste matter and toxins. As long as you clean that environment and get rid of the waste matter and toxins, the cell never seems to age, and that's pretty staggering! That's why cleansing and getting the toxins out of your system is so important. It's also why putting the least amount of toxins in your body is so important.

The debate is on about the best type of water. The basic types of water you have in your environment are tap water, purified water, spring water and distilled water.

Tap water is absolutely the worst kind of water in the world because virtually all tap water is contaminated. All tap water has chlorine in it, and most tap water has fluoride in it. Fluoride is one of the most toxic chemicals in the world. It is a product that comes from the manufacture of superphosphic fertilizers, and is so toxic it can't be dumped anywhere. Through lobbying, fluoride was then sold to municipalities and dumped in our water supplies under the disguise of being good for our teeth. It's a big lie and nothing could be further from the truth. Fluoride is toxic and dangerous, and should not be consumed. Fluoride adversely affects virtually every organ in the body, primarily your thyroid gland. It can be seen that the areas in America that have the most fluoride in the water have the highest obesity rates because people's metabolisms go down. Fluoride makes you depressed and causes all types of physical problems.

Certainly spring water is better than tap water. But certain agencies and interest groups publish misleading stories about bottled water not being any better than tap water because the bacteria count in bottled water is higher than that in tap water. These stories point out that there is no bacteria in tap water because of the chlorine. The problem is, chlorine kills living organisms. We too are living organisms. Chlorine is a poison, and it is put into the water supply to kill living organisms. When we drink it, we're drinking poison. Yes, we are taking it in small amounts, but it's still a highly poisonous chemical and should not be consumed. There is nothing wrong with bacteria. We get exposed to bacteria every single day. That's how our immune systems get strengthened, that's how we live. Our body is exposed to bacteria and germs and viruses and we have natural immunities to those. things. The more we are exposed to them the better off our systems are.

What kind of water do I drink? I have a reverse osmosis unit in my house. I have the water in my entire house filtered. I also have a distiller which, in addition to steam distillation, also gets rid of the energetic memory attached to the water. I do drink bottled water when I travel. I do drink bottled water that is filtered or purified. I drink bottled spring water.

Let me digress here for a moment. People are always talking about cholesterol, cholesterol, cholesterol. It's a great business for the drug companies. They get you to believe you need to lower your cholesterol. But cholesterol is not the cause of heart disease. There are people with 600 cholesterol counts that have absolutely no arteriosclerosis, no blockages and no heart disease. And there are people with cholesterol counts of 100 who have massive blockages and are dropping dead from heart attacks and need triple bypass surgeries. The amount of cholesterol in your blood is not the problem. The problem only occurs when the cholesterol attaches itself to the artery, thus clogging the artery and restricting the blood flow. When it's restricted you need bypass surgery, thus says the medical community. There are all-natural alternatives to bypass surgery as well, which are more effective, get to the root cause instead of just handling the symptom. The question, however, really is not how much cholesterol you have, but what causes the cholesterol to attach itself to the artery? The cholesterol will only attach itself to the artery when the artery is damaged. If the artery is not damaged the cholesterol just goes through the blood without any problem whatsoever, and you will never have heart disease no matter what your cholesterol count is. So the question is, what causes damage to the artery?

Primarily, there are three things that cause the artery to get scarred. And its when the artery is scarred that the cholesterol begins the attaching process, and that's how you get arteriosclerosis and heart disease.

1. Chlorinated water. Chlorine in the water that you drink and shower and bathe in or swim in causes massive scarring of the arteries, which in turn means, no matter how much cholesterol you have or don't have, whatever cholesterol is there will attach itself and begin the clogging process.

2. Hydrogenated oils or trans fats. As you look at virtually 90 percent of the food produced in boxes, if you were to actually read the label you'd see the words "hydrogenated oil" or "partially hydrogenated oil." These are trans fats. Margarine, for example, is hydrogenated oil. These trans fats scar the arteries, causing heart disease and arteriosclerosis.

3. Homogenized dairy products. People say, "Well I drink low fat milk or low fat yogurt." The fat has nothing to do with it. You are being scammed, you are being lied to, you are being misled. It's not the fat that is the problem. Keep in mind that when they make a low fat product, it's not a natural product, it's man-made. When dairy products are homogenized it turns the dairy products into a lethal man-made product that causes scaring of the arteries. Homogenized dairy products, whether they are yogurt, milk, or cheese, are all deadly. It is not the fat that is the problem in dairy, it's the homogenization process.
These are the three major causes of arteriosclerosis.

Now let's get back to water. The reason I brought up the whole issue about cholesterol and arteriosclerosis is that tap water has chlorine in it. One reason why heart disease is so prevalent today is because people drink tap water, bathe in tap water, shower in tap water, or swim in chlorinated pools. As I mentioned above, this is one of the major causes of scaring of the arteries which lead to clogged arteries, arteriosclerosis, and heart disease. But it's not just the water. Chlorine is used in the processing of many fruits and vegetables. It is also put in the water that is used in the irrigation of fruits and vegetables. The chlorine is a major problem. Again, I'm pointing this out to you just so you can see how all encompassing the problem is. So consider this: our water supply is loaded with toxins. These toxins are getting into our bodies by:

• Drinking the water

• Eating or drinking anything made with water

• Eating any food that was grown with the water

• Eating any meat, poultry, fish or dairy where the animal drank water

• Showering, bathing or swimming in water

Since our skin is the largest organ in the body, it has been reported that we absorb more toxins by taking one shower than by drinking five glasses of water. In a shower, not only is the water with all the toxins being absorbed through the skin, many of the most volatile and dangerous toxins are turned into a gas created by the steam. These toxic fumes in your shower are then inhaled. A shower is practically a gas chamber filled with poisonous gas chemicals. Steam rooms, hot tubs and swimming pools are places where you will absorb the highest levels of toxins. The paradox is we think of these particular areas as being the healthiest.

The poisoned water supply is another significant factor relating to how toxins get into our body. By now it won't surprise you to learn how we are being misled by the news media and government agencies about the purity and safety of our water supply. Remember that chlorine and fluoride are the two main poisons that are in our water supply and are the reason our water is so unhealthy. Yet, the government and news media rates the quality of our water based on the amount of chlorine and fluoride in it! The more chlorine and fluoride in the water the healthier it is, claims the government! They even say that tap water is better than spring water because tap water has chlorine and fluoride in it and spring water does not. This is yet another way you are being lied to, deceived and brainwashed into thinking that chemicals are better than something in a natural state.

Let's talk about other things you put in your body through your mouth via what you drink: coffee, tea, sodas, and alcohol. Remember the rule: If it's man made, don't put it in your body.
What about coffee? Well let's start with pure, clean water—not tap water. Let's take a coffee bean that has been organically grown and simply ground up. If it's organic there are no chemicals, no herbicides, no pesticides and no chemicals used in the processing. It seems pretty reasonable in moderation. It appears to be okay. Teas are the same, real organic tea. I'm talking tea leaves, not tea bags, which tea drinkers will say is nothing but flavored water when you make it.

What about carbonated sodas? I very rarely, if ever, drink them. I would never in a million years drink a diet soda because the chemical sweeteners, in my opinion, are some of the most toxic things you could put in your body. On occasion I will drink a Coca Cola from a bottle, not a can. The problem, however, with virtually all carbonated beverages is they block calcium absorption. Calcium is one of the most important building blocks of nutrition.

What about alcohol? If you come to my house I have an array of liqueurs, spirits, wine and beer primarily for guests. What's the ideal scene? Drink water and nothing else. Tea can be very therapeutic, as well as wine. Try to drink mostly pure water, then some tea, then wine, then other alcohol and everything else rarely if ever.

Ah! What about juices? I would never buy juice in bottle, a can, or a carton If man made it, don't put it in your body. Why? If you've ever gone to see how these products are made, you would see why. People think juice is juice is juice. It's simply not true! I happen to have a juice machine in my house. I also have in my back yard some fruit trees. So when I want some juice, I usually walk out, pick some oranges or grapefruits, walk in, peel them and juice them. And I get delicious, organic, pure juice.

Well how is that different from juice you buy at the store? A couple of major differences:

Remember, it's all about the money. The people who sell these products are trying to sell more product at a lower cost. How do they do that? Well, first and foremost let's take orange juice. What will happen is they'll find the worst oranges in the world that they couldn't sell, and that's what they make their juice from. Keep in mind that these oranges have been produced in the "conventional" way, with chemical fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides and genetic engineering. That's conventional? No! That's weird, that's bizarre, that's wrong!

They then pick the fruit that can't be sold, and that's what they make the juice from. The problem is that in the processing of the juice in the plants, bacteria and mold can easily develop, contaminating the product. So by law the product has to be pasteurized, which means the product has to be heated to 220 degrees for thirty minutes to kill any amount of bacteria so you don't get sick as you drink it. This kills all the living natural enzymes and destroys the natural energy surrounding that natural fruit. It is then filtered, and in many cases sugar, which is not listed on the label, is added to make the product sweeter. If sugar is not added, the filtering process and the pasteurization process make the product much sweeter. So you are getting a product that is much, much sweeter than in nature. The best example of this is filtered apple juice. When you look at apple juice that is super clear, it is so much sweeter than natural apple juice that I make at my house on my juicing machine. It has no living enzymes, and it's virtually a massive sugar high. It's just a man-made product under the disguise of a natural, healthy product. It's not healthy; it's man made, it's tainted with chemicals and toxins, and because of the processing is just not healthy. Juice is good, but only if you make it in your home with organic fruits and vegetables, and drink your juice right away. Once you have juiced the product and air gets to it, it begins to oxidize and lose its nutritional value. So if you have a juice machine in your house, you get organic fruits and vegetables, you make juice and you drink it.

But why should you drink juice anyway? That's not natural; 100 years ago we didn't have juice machines. That's a very, very good question. The answer is this: Even if you buy organic fruits and vegetables today, because over the years the soil has been depleted of much of its nutritional value and energy, today's fruits and vegetables don't have the energy or the nutritional value that they did 100 years ago. Even organic fruits and vegetables have less than they did 100 years ago. So a good alternative is to juice them. The nutritional value and the life force energy is in the juice. The fiber in the fruits and vegetables is still needed for other bodily functions such as the elimination through the colon, so you still need to eat the whole fruit and vegetable. But you can get the nutritional value through the juice. It is much better than taking vitamin and mineral tablets if you're going to juice.

So to summarize: If it's made by man, don't put it in your body.

How toxins get in your body through your skin

The skin is the largest organ in the body. Anything put on the skin is absorbed and gets into the body. Even science admits this to be true. Drugs are administered topically on the skin. These drugs wind up in the bloodstream within minutes. Everything you put on your skin gets into your bloodstream Our friends at the FDA have determined that many chemicals are for external use only. They are poisonous and cannot be taken internally because they can kill you. But remember, whatever you put on your skin winds up in your body. Do you understand the problem here? We put things on our skin such as lotions, moisturizers, sun screens, cosmetics, soap, shampoo etc. Virtually every one of these things contains ingredients that even the FDA says are so poisonous and so deadly that they cannot be taken internally. Yet, they are allowed to be put on your skin. The FDA knows that these poisons get into your body via the skin, yet because of the tremendous pressure by lobbyists and politicians, the manufacturers are allowed to put these dangerous ingredients in their products. A Swiss study concluded that five of the most common ingredients in sun screens cause cancer. It is no wonder why the more sun screen you use, the higher the chance that you will get skin cancer. The sun does not cause skin cancer, the sun screens do! Underarm deodorants and antiperspirants contain deadly chemicals that many people believe to be a major cause of breast cancer in women.

If you can't eat it, do not put it on your skin!

We absorb many toxins through our nose

These are primarily the poisons that are in the air. Where you live and work determines the amount of pollutants in the air. Most major cities contend that the air is filled with poisonous chemicals. We breathe every second, therefore we are absorbing toxins every second. However, there are many toxins in the air that most people are not aware of. Air fresheners are one of the worst. Talk about misleading advertising! How in the world can they claim that these products "freshen" the air? These products contain deadly, poisonous chemicals. Would you consider opening the can and drinking the air freshener? Read the label, they even tell you how poisonous the ingredients are! These products eliminate odors by having you spray a deadly poison in the air. This poison kills all of the receptors in the nose so that you cannot smell the offending odor any more. They don't eliminate odors, they eliminate your ability to smell them!
Other toxins include mold, dust, pollens, and the fumes emitted from carpeting, glue, paint, mattresses, the soaps used in the cleaning of sheets and clothing, and air conditioning units. Think about the term "air conditioning." How can putting chemicals in the air be called "conditioning" the air? Air conditioning units cool the air, but load the air with contaminants. The most important nutrient to the body is oxygen. A man can live for weeks without food, days without water, but only a few minutes without air. Any aroma that you smell means something is going into your body. Even if you lived on a farm, the smell of manure means particles of manure are entering your body.

In today's world, the fact is that we are inhaling toxins on a regular basis. It is virtually impossible to eliminate them. However, it entirely possible to dramatically reduce the amount of toxins you are inhaling. It's also interesting to note that what you inhale has a very immediate and profound effect on such things as appetite, digestion, moods, depression, anxiety, irritability, and sleep. Reducing the toxins that you breathe can have a very profound and dramatic impact upon your health.

The eyes

Toxins get in through the eyes in a similar fashion to the skin. The eyes also, in addition to the skin, are the entry point of solar energy from the sun. The sun is not a toxin, as you are being led to believe. The lack of sun causes deficiencies in the body, leading to imbalances and disease. The major form of toxins that come in through the eyes are images that cause bad emotions. Today there are more violent images on television, in the movies, in newspapers and magazines, video games, and books than ever before. Repeated exposure to negative, ugly, disturbing images causes the body to become acidic. Today, people are being exposed to over one thousand times the amount of negative images than they were just twenty years ago; and over ten- thousand times the amount of negative images compared to seventy- five years ago.

The ears

Toxins get into your body through the ears, obviously, by anything you put in your ears as well as the sounds you hear. Sounds are vibrations and frequencies. Certain vibrations and frequencies sustain and cause life to grow. Certain vibrations and frequencies can cause degeneration and death Certain music has been known to cause plants to grow at a faster rate, to be healthier and stronger. Other music has been shown to make plants wither and die. Think of all the sounds you are being exposed to that may have a negative effect on your physiology:

• The low hum of an air conditioner
• The computer running
• The alarm clock
• Certain kinds of "music"
• The washing machine, dryer, dish washer
• Your car engine
• Honking horns

If we stop for a moment and really listen to all the sounds that surround us, we Fuld the majority are unnatural man-made frequencies. These frequencies go in through the ear and cause every cell in the body to be affected. If the frequency of the sound is not in tune with what nature intended, it can throw off the natural balance of the body. The simplest proof of this theory is how certain music, certain sounds and certain frequencies, cause a plant to either die or thrive. Think of the opera singer who hits a high note and shatters a crystal glass That is how powerful vibrations, sounds, and frequencies are. Sounds can affect the body in such a powerful way that even the U.S. military uses sound as a weapon that induces serious physiological and psychological damage.

The electromagnetic field around the body

Okay, up until this point I've tried to explain in very broad strokes that you are in fact loading your body with toxins. These toxins come into the body via the mouth, the nose, the eyes, the ears, and the skin. I could give example, after example, after example of all the toxins that are in food, the water, and all the things you put on your skin. I've just touched on how toxins get in through the eyes and through the ears. I am not trying to tell you every aspect and every way in which toxins get into the body. The point I'm trying to make is to get you to at least consider the fact that you are in fact loading your body with toxins and they do come in through these various channels. This is very important. Most people I talk to do not understand or comprehend the amount of toxicity that gets into the body. When we talk about health, nutrition, disease and illness, most people only think about drugs and surgery. More "aware" people consider food. However; when people consider food they only think of calories, fats, carbohydrates, or proteins. No one ever really talks about the processing of food and the chemicals put in the food. Very few people even consider all the chemicals and toxins that get in through the skin. Very few people consider the physiological affects of what comes in through the eyes in the form of negative images on television. Almost no one considers the negative physiological affects that sound vibrations have on the body that come in through the ears. Very few people consider the toxins that are in the air that we breathe that come in through the nose. Why are we sick? The answer is, first and foremost, the massive amount of toxins that are getting into your body. These toxins are one of the major reasons why illness is so rampant today. Unless these toxins are addressed, you will continue to get sick and you will be unable to cure yourself permanently of any illness and disease you may have.

Now I want to touch on a very important element of health. This is an area that virtually no one discusses when talking about the cure and prevention of disease and illness. However, later in this book when I give you the absolute natural "cure" for virtually all diseases you will see that this is one of the fundamental basic concepts that you must understand if you want to cure your disease. As I mentioned previously, many of these things that I'm talking about, and the picture that I'm trying to paint for you, may seem overwhelming and insurmountable in terms of being able to solve or address all these issues. Please do not be dismayed at this point. I am trying to paint a picture for you so that you understand in general terms and become aware of all the toxins that are coming into your body, and all the various reasons why illness and sickness develop in the body. As I mentioned before, once you at least get a general grasp of this concept you will understand better how the cures work.

So let me talk about briefly here the very important area of the cause of disease and illness that no one ever talks about. The area is electromagnetic fields around the body. Sometimes this is called vibrational fields or energetic fields.

Medical science does not accept the notion that there is an electromagnetic field surrounding the body. However, we use electromagnetic energy, and science does admit that electromagnetic energy exists Medical science claims there is no "scientific evidence" which proves that electromagnetic energy has any effect on the health or lack of health in the body. Remember that science has stated throughout history things that were not proven that have been later proven to be true. Science has proclaimed that there was "no scientific evidence" proving the earth was round; or that the earth revolved around the sun; or that nutrition had any effect on health; or that cigarettes were addictive. Science stated that anyone believing those things were heretics. The same is true now in relation to electromagnetic energy.

Everything on this planet is made up of the same thing: atoms. All atoms resonate or vibrate at different frequencies. All atoms are made up of electrons, protons, and neutrons. Science admits that "energy" is what holds the electron in orbit around the nucleus. Science also admits that electrons, neutrons, and protons are made up of energy. Science admits that this energy cannot be seen with the human eye or any accepted scientific equipment. Science also admits that it does not fully understand, and only theorizes about, these subatomic particles, or "energy." Yet, we see the effects of this "energy" all around us. Science cannot see or explain how magnets work. However, you can easily see the effects of the magnetic field. Science cannot explain how a satellite can beam electromagnetic energy that can pass through solid steel, be picked up by a radio transmitter, and magically turn into music. Think about it. If a satellite in the sky beams down electromagnetic energy twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, and this energy is invisible, cannot be detected, yet has the ability to pass through almost any material, and contains so much information that a "receiver" converts it into the music of an orchestra or images on a TV screen, isn't it possible that this energy is also hitting and passing through our bodies? Is it possible that this unnatural energy could have a negative impact on our bodies and our health?
 Something to think about. Awareness of electromagnetic energy is relatively new. It's really only been around in the last seventy-five years or so. Here are a few examples of the sources of unnatural electromagnetic energy that is bombarding our bodies every day:

• Satellites. There are dozens of satellites beaming down unnatural electromagnetic energy twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.

• Radar. Radar stations for national defense and weather emit harmful electromagnetic energy twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. It's interesting to note that many people believe that when these radar stations are put on maximum power during times of heightened security, a higher percentage of people feel ill, fatigued, and depressed. There is also the suggestion that those living close to these powerful radar towers have a higher chance of getting cancer, depression, and fatigue.

• Cell phone towers. These towers push out powerful energy waves on a consistent basis.

• Cell phones. When your cell phone is turned on it produces powerful unnatural electromagnetic energy, as well as drawing in all the cell phone tower energy. If the cell phone is within just a few feet of you, you are being affected.

• High tension power lines. These lines produce powerful amounts of negative energy affecting all living things in a large area around them.

• Electric wiring. Wiring encompasses our homes, our offices, our cars, any electronic device we carry, and is even buried under sidewalks and streets.

• Computers, televisions and radios. When these units are turned on, they emit large amounts of negative electromagnetic energy.

• Fluorescent lights. It is common knowledge that fluorescent lighting is an unnatural light source and can cause headaches,-fatigue, and a weakening of the immune system. They also emit large doses of negative electromagnetic energy.

• Microwave ovens. The microwaves generated in these devices change the electromagnetic structure of whatever is in the oven into an unnatural, negative, life draining product. These devices also can leak the energy, adversely affecting those around it.

• Other people. Every person emits electromagnetic energy. A person's thoughts are also electromagnetic energy. The human body, especially the brain, is actually a very powerful transmitter and receiver of electromagnetic energy. This is why you feel good around some people and bad around others. Have you ever noticed that when certain people walk into a room, you can "sense" their presence? There are methods, which have not been accepted by the scientific community, which show the electromagnetic field around people and things. These technologies show the positive and negative effects of electromagnetic energy.

Another dynamic relating to electromagnetic energy is ions. There are positive and negative ions. Positively charged ions have an adverse effect on the body. Negatively charged ions have a positive, health-enhancing effect on the body. Running water such as a stream, waterfalls or the crashing waves of an ocean, emit large amounts of life-enhancing negative ions. The wind blowing through trees also emits these wonderful negative ions. This is why most people feel so much better when they are in these areas. Conversely, the wind blowing through tall buildings in cities, or an electric dryer, emits harmful positive ions. If you sit in a laundromat all day, it is very common for you to feel horrible and very fatigued. These harmful positive ions also can suppress your immune system. This electromagnetic chaos cannot be avoided. However, it can be reduced, and there are simple things you can do to counteract the negative energy you are being exposed to.

The bottom line is that today we are putting more toxins in our body than ever before in history. And the trend is increasing. As this trend continues, people will continue to increase the number of times they get sick, the number of diseases they develop, and the severity and duration of these illnesses.

What comes out of the body

Our bodies, in normal function, produce toxins. This is fine, as long as our body's ability to eliminate these toxins is operating normally. Even if you put no toxins into your body, your body would still create waste material and toxins. All toxins created by the body or put into the body must be eliminated in order for us to be healthy. When toxins are allowed to accumulate they cause the immune system to be suppressed, and the body to become acidic. Accumulated toxins that have not been flushed out or eliminated allow the body to create an environment where illness and disease can flourish. We basically eliminate toxins through:

• The nose
• The mouth
• The urinary tract
• The colon
• The skin

The nose and mouth eliminate toxins primarily by use of the lungs. Our urinary tract eliminates toxins primarily through the kidneys and liver. The colon eliminates toxins primarily through the liver, the stomach and small intestine. The skin eliminates toxins primarily through perspiration. Most people today have excess accumulations of toxins and waste material in their bodies. The two main reasons for this are: 1) they are putting huge amounts of toxins in their body on a regular basis; 2) their elimination channels are clogged, slow, and sluggish.

When you put toxins in and your body creates toxins at a faster rate than you are eliminating those toxins, you have a build-up and accumulation of poisons and toxins in the body. For example, are your nasal and sinus cavities clear and mucus free? Do you breathe fully and deeply from your diaphragm, allowing your lungs to do their job fully? Do you regularly breathe aerobically and anaerobically? Do you sweat on a regular basis? Do you drink plenty of water, which allows all elimination channels to work more efficiently? Do you have three bowel movements per day? A few common things which slow the elimination process are:

• Antibiotics. If you have ever taken an antibiotic you have dramatically slowed your elimination potential via the colon. Antibiotics kill all the friendly bacteria in the intestine and colon. This allows unfriendly yeast, most notably eandida, to grow abnormally and infest your digestive system. This eandida yeast overgrowth slows digestion, increases gas, bloating and constipation, and itself creates an abnormal amount of toxins.

• Lotions and creams. Most people put lotions and creams all over their skin clogging the pores and suppressing the natural elimination process through the skin. This would include sunscreens, cosmetics, deodorants, and antiperspirants.

• Lack of body movement. Have you ever noticed when you take a dog for a walk, they poop? When you move your body as nature intended, you increase the elimination process. Since most people sit all day, their elimination cycles are suppressed. You should have three bowel movements per day. When you eat food, it goes through the digestion process and ends up in the colon ready for elimination. The food in the colon begins to putrefy and become toxic. The longer it stays in the colon, the more toxic it becomes. If left long enough, these toxins begin to enter the bloodstream. This can turn into a serious medical condition resulting in death. Your body's elimination system must be working at optimal levels if you want to live without illness and disease.

Exercise

In simplistic terms, there are seven kinds of exercise:

1. Slow rhythmic movement exercise. This is mainly walking. The body is designed to walk, for long distances, and for long periods of time. The amount of walking in America varies per geographic area. New Yorkers tend to walk more than people living in Dallas. When you go to Europe or various other countries, people walk an average of eight to ten miles a day. In America people walk an average of close to one-tenth of a mile a day. That is unbelievable. Walking is probably the most important form of exercise you can do, and the healthiest compared to driving, which increases stress. Now let's think about this for a moment. When you drive a car your stress levels go up dramatically, which means your body becomes acidic. When you go for a walk, not only are you getting the benefits of the exercise of the slow rhythmic movement, your lymph system is getting toxins out of your body, the body is moving and flowing beautifully, the energy is flowing through the meridians, and you are grounding your feet on the earth, allowing for the earth's magnetic energy to flow though your body, energizing your cells. You are also actually looking out and externalizing through your eyes at far away distances, which increases the electromagnetic energy in your body and makes the body more alkaline and less susceptible to disease. It also has a profound effect on your state of mind and happiness factor. The lack of walking causes the body's elimination channels to become slow and sluggish.

2. Stretching. Your body consists of muscles, tendons, and ligaments. If you lived in a natural setting, interacting with nature as we are designed, the natural activities you would be doing throughout your day would cause the frequent stretching of your ligaments, muscles and tendons. Americans are the least flexible people in the world. Lack of flexibility allows for negative energy and toxins to accumulate in various parts of your body, allowing toxicity to build up.

3. Resistance exercise. This includes any form of movement where resistance is put against a muscle, and the muscle is required to push or pull against the resistance. The most common form of resistance training is weight lifting or the use of resistance machines. This is an unnatural form of exercise. Chimpanzees, as an example, are eight times stronger than a man, yet do not lift weights. Weight training can increase the size and strength of muscles, reshaping your body and making you look great. However, it generally only works with the muscles that are seen and does not address the majority of muscles that have no aesthetic value. It also does not address the strength of ligaments and tendons. This can create an imbalance, where some muscles are strong and abnormally large, and other muscles, ligaments and tendons are weak and disproportionate in size. Weight training does not increase flexibility—it actually reduces flexibility, thus hindering the flow of energy through the body. Nevertheless, doing any form of exercise is better than doing none at all.

4. Postures. There are certain exercise regimes where you are put into postures that are held for a period of time. The most commonly known is yoga. Keep in mind there are many forms of yoga. Not all kinds of yoga are posture based. Some yoga techniques are fluid and help open up the natural energy channels in the body, and stimulate internal organs.

5. Aerobic exercise. Aerobic means "with air." Any form of exercise where you are breathing heavily but can still have a conversation is aerobic exercise. Aerobic exercise stimulates blood flow throughout the body, oxygenates the body and speeds the elimination of toxins.

6. Anaerobic exercise. Anaerobic means "without air? Any form of exercise where you are breathing so hard you can barely talk is anaerobic. The benefits are, generally, a tremendous stimulation of your entire system because, in effect, you are putting the survival of every cell in your body at risk because of the lack of oxygen. This is very helpful in "reprogramming the body" and allowing the body to increase its elimination of toxins and stop any cellular activity that was abnormal.

7. Cellular exercise. At this time there is only one form of exercise that actually affects, in a positive way, every cell in the body simultaneously. Jumping on a mini-trampoline, also known as a rebounder, has been shown to stimulate and strengthen every cell in the body. This unique form of exercise dramatically increases the movement through the lymph system, stimulates every cell's elimination of toxins, and increases the strength and vitality of every cell in the body.

The Major Benefits of Exercise Include:

• Increase oxygen to the cells. Oxygen is needed for life. Most people are deficient in the amount of oxygen they have throughout their bodies. Viruses and cancer, for example, cannot exist in an oxygen rich environment. An oxygen rich body is an alkaline body. An alkaline body is a body where disease and illness cannot exist.

• Movement of lymph fluid. The lymphatic system is an important element in the elimination process. Most Americans have a lymphatic system that is dangerously clogged and sluggish. Moving the body as it was intended increases the movement of lymph fluid through the body, assisting with the elimination of toxins.

• Cell stimulation. Every cell in the body produces toxic waste. Every cell in the body needs stimulation in order for the toxic waste to be eliminated. Every cell in the body needs stimulation to remain healthy and thrive in a normal way. If a cell does not eliminate the toxic waste it produces and does not receive stimulation, it can begin to act in an abnormal way. Cells could degenerate and die or begin to grow abnormally in an out of control manner, causing tumors, cancer, or the degeneration of vital organs in the body.

• Opening of energy channels. Energy flows through our body. Just like blood flows through the veins, electromagnetic energy flows through channels in our body. When these channels are blocked or congested, energy does not flow efficiently. This energy gives life and vitality to the cells; without it the cells do not receive what is needed, causing abnormalities, suppression of the immune system, and turning the body acidic, making it susceptible to illness. Exercise helps to keep these channels open.

• Releasing of tension and stress. Stress is the silent killer. Stress can be defined many ways. In simplistic terms, stress is holding on to negative energy. When negative energy is being held, it can lodge itself into various parts of the body. This can cause muscles to be tight and the body to become acidic. Exercise breaks up this stress and tension, and can allow it to leave the body.

I have mentioned that toxins in the body are a major cause of disease. I have mentioned that lack of nutrition is a major cause of disease. I suggested very briefly that electromagnetic chaos also has a negative effect on the body and can lead to and cause disease. It is important also to know that "stress" is also one of the major forces that can cause illness and disease in the body. When something stresses us, our body turns from a natural state of alkaline pH to acidic. When it's acidic, disease can grow. Stress suppresses our immune system and makes us weaker and more susceptible to infections, germs, bacteria and viruses. When our immune system is weak, we cannot naturally defend against these invaders and we get sick. So the question is, what are the stressors and how can we eliminate them? I will address this question and give you the simple solutions in a later chapter.

Rest

Without proper rest, the cells are not given the opportunity to recharge and rejuvenate. Tired cells cannot eliminate toxins efficiently. It is also during rest that most healing takes place. Most people do not get enough rest, and the rest they do get is not full and deep. There are three elements of proper rest:

1. The time in which you rest. The most optimum time for the body to rest is when the sun is no longer shining. Ideally, a person would rest and sleep when the sun goes down and arise when the sun comes up. This is the natural cycle. However, most people's lifestyles do not allow this. Therefore they are resting and sleeping at non-optimal times. Each week a lunar cycle occurs starting at sundown every Friday ending at sundown every Saturday. This time period is absolutely the most ideal time for the body to recharge and rejuvenate.

2. The amount of hours you rest. Although every person is different, it appears that every person operates better when getting eight hours of sleep. People operate worse if they receive fewer hours or more hours. The majority of people sleep less than eight hours, and then try to catch up by occasionally sleeping more hours. This practice does not allow optimal recharging and rejuvenation of the cells in your body.

3. Rest and sleep should be deep. Most people toss and turn at night. The ideal situation is that you virtually do not move for the entire sleep time. When sleep is full and deep, brainwave activity can occur, which stimulates the healing process throughout the body. A person who snores wakes themselves up an average of 300 times per night. A person who snores never gets into the deepest levels of - sleep, and thus their body is never operating at optimal efficiency.

There is a difference between sleep and rest. The body can rest without going to sleep. Most people never take a "rest" during the day. The common pattern of waking up, working all day nonstop, going to bed late, never getting a full deep eight hours of peaceful sleep, results in a body that slowly begins to break down and never has a chance to heal and recharge. If you were to take a battery powered device and leave it on until the battery died, and compare that to turning the device on for a period of time then off for a period of time, and repeating this process several times, you would find the battery life can be as high as twice as long as nonstop usage. The body is very much like a battery. The body operates almost identically, utilizing electric current throughout. It must be given a chance to rest. If a person did nothing else but get proper rest and sleep, their energy levels would skyrocket and the amount of illness and disease they experience would go down dramatically.

Your thoughts

Thoughts are things. Your body is in fact a very powerful electromagnetic transmitter and receiver of energy. Every thought you have can have a powerful impact on the cells in your body. Positive high vibration thoughts can rid your body of disease. Negative stressful low vibration thoughts can give your body disease. Science does not believe that thoughts can have any profound effect on your health. Medical science believes that thoughts could never alone cure or cause disease. However, it is interesting to point out that medical science cannot dispute the "placebo" effect. The placebo effect is when a person is given a "placebo," which is in effect nothing, yet their disease is cured. This occurs because the patient believes that what he is taking will cure the disease. His thoughts basically cause the cure. This happens in as many as 40 percent of the cases. Imagine, up to 40 percent of the time a person with a dreaded disease cures himself with his own thoughts! Yet, remember our friends at the FDA who say that only a drug can cure a disease!?

Thoughts can heal, but they can also cause sickness and disease. Stress, which could be defined as negative thoughts, cause the body to become acidic, thus creating the environment for illness and disease. These negative thoughts can be conscious or unconscious in nature. Many of these negative thoughts are trapped in stressful or traumatic incidences from our past. Several prominent doctors have found that the vast majority of people with cancer have an incident in their past that caused tremendous grief. Individuals who have heart attacks are found to have suppressed anger. It is interesting to note the correlation between certain emotions and certain diseases.

The stress of living in today's environment is higher than at any time in history. Driving a car, for example, raises stress levels in the body up to 1,000 times normal levels. When a person is driving a car combined with talking on a cell phone, stress levels can go as high as 5,000 times the norm. Walking, conversely, actually reduces stress. Worrying about money, arguing with relatives, friends and co-workers, watching scary gruesome movies and television shows, reading the news, all increase stress levels dramatically. The good news is this can be reversed.

Doctor Coldwell of Germany has the highest cancer success rate in the country, treating over 35,000 mostly terminal cancer patients. Without drugs or surgery, but rather by using techniques to reduce stress, (in effect correcting a person's thoughts), he has cured more people of cancer than any other person in German history. Dr. Norman Cousins' The Anatomy of an Illness documents how, by laughing and reducing stress, without drugs or surgery, cancer was put in complete remission. Earl Nightingale discovered what he called "The strangest secret": You become what you think about. Positive thoughts and low amounts of stress create an alkaline pH in the body, meaning you virtually cannot get sick. Negative thoughts and emotions and high levels of stress cause the body to become acidic, leading to illness and disease.

What you say

Words have power. Most people speak words that increase body stress and turn the body's pH from alkaline to acidic. Words can change the way we think and feel. Researchers have concluded that speaking the correct form of words and thinking the correct thoughts actually changes a person's DNA.

Of all the things that I've talked about in this chapter so far relating to the cause of illness and disease please do not overlook the power of how you think and what you say. These two factors contribute dramatically to stress levels. Stress absolutely causes illness and disease. Reducing stress absolutely is one of the most powerful natural cures for virtually every disease in the body. This is one of the cures that cannot be patented. No one can make billions of dollars in profits selling it to you, but simple stress reducing techniques that are effective and inexpensive absolutely have been proven to be one of the most powerful natural cures of all time. This is one of the "natural cures" that "they" don't want you to know about! I will tell you exactly how to reduce stress levels and utilize this cure in a later chapter.

If you look at people today around the world who have no disease and no Illness, there are virtually no common denominators. You can't look to a person's genetic disposition. You can't look to a person's diet because they vary so greatly. Some of these people smoke, some of them eat monkeys raw, some of them eat dairy products, some of them are vegetarians, some of them do not exercise, others simply walk. They generally all do sleep very well, but the most obvious common denominator is how they think and how they talk. They are very positive, optimistic individuals, they don't take life very seriously, and they don't worry too much. They are optimistic and they are lighthearted They greet each day in a spirit of thankfulness. Attitude really makes the difference. Thoughts do affect the body and thoughts can dramatically affect your health.

From a biological standpoint, what does this really mean? Think of it this way. The body has what is known as the immune system. The immune system fights off any imbalance or disease, virus, germs and bacteria. If your body's immune system is strong and you happen to catch any bacteria or virus, your body fights it off and you never even notice that you were exposed or had that particular virus or bacteria or germ. When your immune system is very weak, you are susceptible to showing the symptoms of succumbing to that particular virus or bacteria. People that are the healthiest are people with very low stress levels. The common denominator of the healthiest people on the planet is how they think and what they say. The mind can cause the immune system to be incredibly strong and actually change the genetic DNA structure in your body, preventing disease. What you think and what you say can actually cure disease. Conversely, what you think and what you say, in other words "stress," can absolutely cause your immune system to be weakened and cause genetic weaknesses in the body to become active causing you to develop illness and disease. Stress, negative thoughts, negative words coming out of your mouth, all are very powerful in turning your body pH either acidic or alkaline. Remember, if your body's pH is acidic you have an environment where illness and sickness can thrive. If your body pH is alkaline you virtually can never get sick. By reducing stress, speaking powerful positive words, and thinking powerful positive thoughts you absolutely can turn your body pH to the state of alkaline and reverse—yes, that's right, absolutely cure virtually every disease in the body, all with the power of your mind.

So the summary, in very general, very simplistic terms is this:

The reason why you are sick is because you are putting more toxins and chemicals in your body. Those toxins and chemicals are not coming out of your body because you are not eliminating things like you should. We are exercising more but we are not walking, and walking is the major form of exercise that gives you the most health benefits. We are not resting enough, so our body doesn't have a chance to rejuvenate and recharge. Our thoughts are more negative because of the images we are getting from television, magazines, newspapers and movies. Think about the kids' games that they are playing and how horrific those images are. The sounds we are hearing are not life enhancing, but are actually having a powerful adverse affect on our physiology—turning our body from alkaline to acid. And we are being bombarded by more electronic chaos from cell phones, microwaves, satellite waves, electronic devices, computers, televisions, etc. We drive more than ever before and, due to that, our stress levels keep going up and up, causing our bodies to become more acidic and giving us a whole environment which is conducive to sickness and disease. Our immune systems are being suppressed and we are becoming more susceptible to illness. Specifically, the drugs that we are taking are making our immune systems weaker, and are putting so many toxins in our bodies that they are in fact causing many additional illnesses.

You'll notice that every major illness that we face today, those that most people are popping drugs for, are not in fact caused by bacteria or viruses. We aren't catching them. We develop them in our body. They are actually self-inflicted illnesses. If your body's immune system is strong and healthy, when you are exposed to the viruses and bacteria which we all are every single day, your body would simply handle them and you wouldn't even notice them. If you did have a scratchy throat, if you did have some sniffles or a cough, it would maybe last a few hours or a day at most. You wouldn't have to take any drug, your body would handle it and deal with it and become stronger because of it. That's the natural way your body reacts. We forget that many of the symptoms we have are actually our body's own defense mechanisms working properly, so we go out and take drugs and try to suppress them.

A good example is a fever. If you have a fever, the body is raising its temperature to fight off some danger. But what we do is, we go out and take something to reduce our fever, allowing the invaders to take over. The problem with medical procedures, and the problem with drugs and surgery is that they all try to solve or eliminate a symptom. They never ask, "What's the cause?" If you have a fever, don't say you need to get rid of the fever. Ask yourself what's causing the fever. Keep asking and keep asking and keep asking that question. By eliminating the symptoms, you just suppress the real cause of the problem, thus causing it to get worse. If you are driving your car and your oil light goes on, you wouldn't say "my oil light's on; I need to get my oil light to go off. Oh, I know what I'll do, I'll unscrew the bulb. Ah, now the oil light is no longer illuminated." You haven't solved the problem, have you? You got rid of a symptom. There is no more illumination of the oil light. But the reason that light went on is still there. You may drive that car for another few weeks before it seizes up on you. Your body is the same way. If you have a headache, you shouldn't say, "Let me eliminate the pain of the headache." You should ask yourself what's causing your body to do that, and find the cause. When you do this, you are addressing the root cause of problems and not just treating symptoms.

Medical science, medical doctors, drugs and surgery only treat symptoms. The question that always comes up for me is: Is there a place for drugs and surgery? And the answer is: Absolutely yes! I have to applaud the medical community because they have developed the best methods to date of keeping a person alive in the event of a trauma, accident or emergency situation. If we go with the theory that we always ask, "what's the cause," and not just treat the symptom, then we can use drugs and surgery as they should be used. Here's an example:

I'm walking in my garden and I step on a nail. I rush to the emergency room and say, "Quick, I stepped on a nail. It was a rusty nail. I'm bleeding, and I'm in pain. Help!" The doctor says that I may have some infection and gives me some ointment that will kill the bacteria to make sure I don't get an infection. He gives me some type of drug that will stop the bleeding and sews me up with a surgical procedure to handle the wound. The reason that is acceptable is because the cause of my problem was stepping on a nail. We have addressed the cause. It's not going to repeat itself. We know what the cause is. Now let's handle the symptoms.

If I was in a car crash and my kidney was ripped open by the metal of the crushed vehicle, rush me to the emergency room and handle my symptoms. Don't ask: "Hmm, I wonder what caused this? Let's go for the cause." I can tell you what the cause is. The cause is a piece of metal ripped my skin open and punctured my kidney; please use drugs and surgery and save my life. Handle the symptoms. The symptoms are, "I am bleeding profusely, I'm about to die." Handling the symptoms is good in that situation.

But if a person has cancer you don't say: "Hmm, cancer cells...let me cut them out, let me shoot them full of radiation, let me use some drugs that may kill them." Ask yourself why cancer is growing in the body. The answer is: The body is acidic. What's causing the body to be acidic? Let's find out what is going into the body, what is going out of the body, what the person thinks, how he is exercising, how he is resting and what he is saying, and let's turn this around in a very simple way and then the cancer goes away. We reduce stress, we strengthen the immune system, the body becomes alkaline, and disease can't exist.

The conclusion, then, is that people get sick because:

• We are putting too many toxins in our body and not flushing the toxins out fast enough Meaning our body is toxic.

• We are not putting enough of the necessary nutrients into our body, and the nutrients that are going in are not being absorbed. This means we are nutritionally deficient.

• We are exposed to and negatively affected by electromagnetic chaos.

• We have trapped mental and emotional stress.

Since all matter consists ultimately of energy, in simplistic terms the cause of all disease is energetic imbalance.
