Get Healthy - Stay Healthy

After taking three years of chemistry in college including a year of Inorganic Chemistry, a year of Organic Chemistry and a year of Biochemistry at the 400 level I began understanding how the body utilized food for health. I was active in athletics and eating healthy was a necessary part of competing so I learned what I could about nutrition reading books and articles as they became available.

It wasn't until my mother was diagnosed with emphysema in 2003 that my very serious and methodical research into optimal health began. I had taken graduate level courses in Pathology, Pulmonary Physiology, Renal Physiology, Cardiac Physiology, Histology and Human Genetics. Discerning the good information from the garbage was made much easier because of this coursework.

My mother's condition worsened slowly at first and I searched for optimal health protocols that would get her as healthy as possible. The doctors had told me the disease was terminal but I was not throwing in the towel. Every mystery is eventually solved through information gathering and logically applying it to the formerly unknown.

The book of Genesis says that "the years of man shall be 120 years" yet I have never met a 119 year old! We must be doing something wrong.

Optimal Health Research

Over the next four years I compiled more than 6500 hours of research into Pathology, Pulmonary Physiology alternative medicine and optimal health searching for a survival scenario for my mother.

Understanding the human body's ability for adaptation and the lasting negative effects that medications have on that ability is essential in understanding optimal health and how I eventually completely reversed my mother's emphysema.

To-date more than 1100 people have had the same or similar results when applying my six general protocols. The bottom line is, THEY WORK!

How I Reversed My Mom's Emphysema

The first book I wrote I did under duress. When it was obvious that my mother's condition was improving I shared my six protocols with a friend of mine who had suffered from asthma and allergies since he was a small boy. In a few days he called me all excited telling me that the night before was the first night that he could remember that he did not go to bed wheezing. Now two years later, he no longer needs asthma medications and hasn't for almost a year.

He began calling me weekly telling me that I should write a book and share the information I had developed. I had actually began finding this information after many months of prayer so the credit truly goes to the Almighty God not me. I simply wrote it down.

Lose Weight Without Dieting

After the book had been selling for about a year I realized I was getting many emails telling me of people getting well from emphysema, copd and chronic bronchitis after being sent home by their doctors.

The comment that kept coming up besides the reversal of their emphysema was that their spouse had followed the diet I recommended for them and lost weight. They told me that it was the first time their spouse had lost weight and did not encounter any starvation. This email came almost verbatim over and over which prompted an additional 1000+ hours of research and the second book, "Lose Weight Without Dieting."

Since that time many have found that they could not only lose their excess weight but they could keep it off. They could accept dinner invitations and attend family get-togethers without putting on weight because they learned how the food was processed by their body. I also included a number of weight loss secrets that thin people do without thinking about it and overweight people do not do.

If you are interested in weight loss get a copy of the book and learn what you have been missing in the weight loss puzzle all these years!

 

Healthy Eating – Healthy Diet General Rules

  1. Do not include food that comes in a box in your healthy diet. It is generally over processed and has chemical additives for flavor and preservation and can single handedly ruin an otherwise healthy diet. It is not healthy and should not be included in your healthy diet. Processing removes the vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and phytonutrients – all of which are needed for a healthy diet, especially if you are in pursuit of health and longevity.
  2. Many foods that are white in color are heavily processed like white bread and white sugar and will stifle your attempts at getting healthy and staying healthy so try and eliminate them from your healthy diet.
  3. Many simple carbohydrates should also be limited in your healthy diet including potatoes and white rice if your plan is getting healthy and staying healthy. They breakdown into glucose very rapidly in the body and will cause excess stress on the beta cells of your pancreas which produce insulin. Insulin is responsible for active transport of sugar across the cell membrane. Prior to the sugar crossing the cell wall, it resides in the bloodstream providing a food supply to pathogens such as viral cells, bacterial cells, fungal cells and cancer cells.
  4. Fresh healthy vegetables and fresh healthy fruits are a big part of a healthy diet. Healthy foods such as fresh vegetables are much better than canned or frozen vegetables. Certainly frozen are better than canned vegetables which often times have almost no vitamins or minerals left and are not very healthy.
  5. For healthy eating eat at least half of your fresh vegetables raw in salads. Raw vegetables contain many enzymes which are destroyed with cooking, even if you steam the vegetables.
  6. Eliminate soft drinks and other sweet drinks like sugary tea and coffee from your healthy diet. Pure water is far and above the best liquid for your body.

 

Healthy Living Water Intake

Healthy living involves much more than just healthy eating and a healthy diet. Many other factors influence whether we are healthy or not. These factors must be monitored and controlled if we expect to get healthy, stay healthy and sustain a healthy living lifestyle.

Make sure to drink a healthy amount of water if you wish to get healthy and stay healthy. There are many varying estimates as to how much water is healthy and what amount and type of water we need to get healthy and stay healthy.

The best estimates I have found say to multiply your body weight by 0.66 and convert to ounces. So if you weigh 200 lbs you would need: (200 lbs)(0.66) = 132 ounces of fresh pure healthy water included with your healthy diet every day. Naturally this number increases if you are in the hot sun or exercising or both.

 

Healthy Living Supplements

The following outlines some important supplements for most of us. In rare occasions, medical conditions may prevent the use of some because of interactions with certain prescription drugs. If you take prescription medications check with your doctor before taking any of the supplements listed. On the other end of the spectrum, a very small fraction of one percent of the population has such a healthy diet that they do not need one or more of the supplements listed. For the most part, the rest of us need them all.

  1. Probiotics - most of us at some time in our lives have taken an antibiotic. Antibiotics kill bacteria. The problem is they kill our probiotics or "good bacteria" which reside in our large and small intestines. Therefore they need replacing. Enteric coated probiotics will survive stomach and break apart in the duodenum where the pH is more alkaline. Probiotics should include both the Lactobacillus strains which replenish the small intestine and Bifida strains which replenish the large intestine. Probiotics play an important role in our immune system as well as the production of vitamin B12. Dr. Ohirra's 12 Plus Probiotics are the best I have found and the ones I personally take. I do not sell them but they are available online and in many health foods stores.
  2. Alfalfa - Dr. Baroody in his book, "Alkalize or Die" states that all disease is a result of acid residue. Certainly, our Western diet is acidic. Dr. Baroody states that disease requires an acidic environment for survival. Most doctors will tell you that you cannot change your blood pH and this may be true to a certain extent however, I began taking alfalfa tablets more than 8 years ago in hopes of eliminating acid reflux and heartburn. I was using an entire roll of antacids daily with no end in sight. Since I began taking the alfalfa I have not needed one single antacid tablet. In addition. alfalfa contains vitamin A, B, C, D, E, and K in their bioavailable forms and includes all of the essential amino acids. I take 4 650mg tablets with each meal. They are very inexpensive through Puritan's Pride. I get 6 bottles of 300 for less than $27. One bottle lasts me almost a month and costs less than $5. Chlorophyll in the alfalfa provides a continual cleanse of your liver, kidneys, large intestine and small intestine.
  3. Omega-3 Fatty Acids - omega-3 fatty acids are important for reducing or eliminating inflammation in your body and promote healthy skin. Dr. Perricone stated that if you do not supplement omega-3 fatty acids you would need 26 ounces of salmon daily. I like salmon but not that much.
