Disease is complex. Achieving health is simple. Simple is seldom easy. The body is the perfect machine and will automatically operate in its best interest when given what it needs.
The body works for health by design, providing you do your part.
The first essential factor is that you must believe that. Waiting for a magic bullet to solve your health issue leads to hopelessness and inaction. Anyone saying, “You have to learn to live with it,” Is unacceptable. Taking your focus off the illness and refocusing on wellness puts the correct pilot in the driver’s seat. The prevalent view that something outside of us is responsible puts you at the effect of the unknown and an all-knowing system. You are not helpless; there is always something to do to return your system to health and balance.
The second factor is increasing your body’s oxygen supply. Exercise is the easiest and quickest method. A brisk walk daily, taking the flight of stairs instead of the elevator a couple of times a day, or any number of small acts to break out of the usual sedentary life we create in front of the boob tube. A product I use enables red blood cells to carry two oxygen molecules instead of one. Doubles the oxygen my body has with every breath!
Factor three is stopping unresolved stress you allow added to the day. You compromise your body’s ability to maintain equilibrium and balance each day it continues. For many people, simply recognizing what is happening is all they must do to let it go. Adding a daily walk also gives time for this factor to take place. Two factors improve with a daily walk.
Food and feeding your body the proper nutritious diet it deserves is the fourth factor. Plenty of studies suggest that a multivitamin is not an answer. Given the cost, it might add to factor three instead of subtracting. You will have to do some work; part of it is refraining from an easy answer. The trouble is that most information comes from a one-size-fits-all belief system, which is untrue. Designing your nutritional program is easy once you know where to begin.
The fifth factor is news to many. If you are in distress, diseased, or not at optimum health now, you are likely eating foods you shouldn’t and not eating foods you should. I do not mean the chips, Twinkies, and beer, either. Most of what you consider healthy may be a significant part of the problem. Again, the one-size-fits-all, ‘we are all the same’ mantra has you buy into fads, myths, and nonsensical health solutions from well-meaning but brainwashed and uninformed so-called experts. They are experts on the identical human body we supposedly all inhabit. The fact is that all of us are different and unique.
I rid myself of a chronic illness. I was able to stop taking all prescription medications, and I have lived free of the disease ever since. The method works for anyone willing to take their life back. Each of the five factors is open to your full participation. It is about self-discovery and less about what I or anyone else did or does. The answers are out there! Your body knows. Learn to listen to it.
