Diets Galore

April 23rd, 2008

There are so many diets it is hard to keep up. One day you hear about one that sounds good, and the next day another is making the news, what do you do? Which of the many diets is best?

What I do is examine them in light of Natural Hygiene. You are most likely wondering what in the world is Natural Hygiene? It is a philosophy of achieving and maintaining your maximum health potential in accord with human physiology (the way we were designed).

Our bodies are not all unique, as many will tell you. Each of us has the same basic structure, the same organs, the same nervous system, all parts functioning in the same way. The only differences are in how we react to our environment, and our appearance. Where one may be strong, another may be weak. Where one may be prone to arthritis, another may have a weaker heart, and another may be prone to cancer.

As an example, if you and I eat the same toxic substance, you may vomit, I may have diarrhea. Or if you and I both improve our diets in the same manor, my body may start dumping toxins, in an unpleasant manor, while yours may just feel energized.

As I said above, there are many very popular diets and lifestyle plans. They all can be evaluated by how well they align to the principals of Natural Hygiene, as follows.

Natural Hygiene shows us: Our bodies should be nourished primarily by raw plant foods, such as fruits and vegetables with some nuts and seeds. Animal products should not be used unless that is all you can get. If they are used they should be used in proper combinations and in small quantities, under 4 oz. per day. For proper nourishment we need adequate sunshine, rest, sleep, exercise, creative work, fresh clean air, and pure water.

So what does your diet plan tell you? Which ones are most in line with Natural Hygiene? Which ones are the furthest out of line?

The Hallelujah diet and the Genesis 1:29 diet are most in line with Natural Hygiene. They are both basically branded versions of Natural Hygiene. The Genesis 1:29 diet is basically the diet part of Natural Hygiene, with minor differences.

The raw food and living food diets are very close. However some of their followers do go off on tangents that move away from Natural Hygiene.

A mid range would include the Makers Diet and the South Beach diet. Both include things not recommended by teachers of Natural Hygiene. Both include too much cooked food. Many people who have gotten well on Natural Hygiene, then switch to these diets, have their diseases return, some have even died.

The SAD (Standard American Diet) is a proven disease maker. Americans are the best fed and sikest people in the world. If our health system was working for us we should be the healthiest country in the world. The SAD is close to the worst diet in the world.

On the far end would be the Atkins diet. Of all the diets out there I would rank the Atkins diet the most dangerous. Many thousands of people have been permanently harmed or killed by the Atkins diet. My uncle got my father on the Atkins diet, though I tried to tell him how dangerous it was. Both my father and my uncle died of a heart attack. Shortly after they died, Dr, Atkins died of a heart attack. The Atkins diet may suppress some diseases, but at what cost? Increased risk of Cancer and heart attack, are the main problems with this diet.

The Hallelujah diet has a great support system set up around the world, with Health Ministers in every US state, and most countries.

Natural Hygiene is the oldest system in modern times. Its roots started over 200 years ago. It was started by medical doctors who tired of watching their patients suffer and die in spite of their best efforts.

It was growing in popularity until the medical approach to health became more popular in the late 1800’s Especially after the Civil war. In the early 1900’s the germ theory of disease made it possible for people to blame something they could not see for their health problems.

More and more people are becoming dissatisfied with the way the medical mindset is destroying lives. They are seeing the flaws in the system. With the information age people are now able to learn the truth that disease is a product of what we do and eat. I think that is why there are so many diets out there.

So now people all over the world are searching for the best diet plan to latch onto. Natural Hygiene is the best alternative. It is the benchmark for all others diets to be measured by.

No matter what the advertisers say, you cannot be poisoned into health. All drugs are poison. That is why they list so many harmful side effects.

Why take a chance? Your health is at stake. Learn all you can about Natural Hygiene.

Make wise decisions based on facts, not theories. Don’t make decisions based solely on what tastes good to you. Don’t let someone scare you into a treatment plan. Disease is the result of living outside of our design. By returning to our design specifications disease will simply go away.

If someone tells you that you have such and such disease, it usually means that they have been able to name a symptom or symptom complex. Symptoms do not cause themselves. I repeat, Symptoms do not cause themselves.! It is extremely important that you grasp this fact. Symptoms are only the outward evidence of a body out of balance.

You have to dig much deeper than the symptoms that are visible. You must remove the underlying cause. Remember, only your body can heal. Your body is self-healing. When you remove cause, and give your body the tools it needs, it will heal itself. That is the only sane approach to getting well and staying well.

When you dig deep enough you will find that what you eat, the air you breathe, or some other thing that goes into your body is the ultimate cause of disease. If the diet plan you chose is not giving your body the tools it needs, and minimizing your intake of toxins, it is failing you.

This Article Will Shock You If You Use Toothpaste

March 20th, 2008

This article will shock you if you use toothpaste, shampoo, shower gel, bath foam and other personal care and household products.

Most of us happily purchase personal care and household products without giving it a second thought.

Take a look on the back of some of your products and take the bathroom test today!

Do you have any of the following ingredients listed

Sodium Lauryl Sulpate,

Sodium Laureth Sulphate,

Aluminium, Alcohol,

propylene Glycol, and

DEA

Sodium Lauryl Sulphate is commonly found in toothpastes, bubble bath, shampoos and soaps. It’s used as a thickener and foaming agent, but has also been found to be a skin irritant.

Shampooing your hair with a shampoo containg SLS can put as many nitrates into your body as if you ate a pound of bacon! Sodium Lauryl Sulphate is also used as a wetting agent in garage floor cleaners and engine degreasers.

Sodium Laureth Sulphate is a higher foaming version of SLS and may be less irritating, however it may cause drying. Like Sodium Lauryl Sulphate it may cause the potentially carciogenic formation of nitrates on reacting with other product ingredients.

Aluminium is commonly found in deodorants. Used regularly it can increase the risk of alzheimer’s by up to 3 times. (From Natural Health May-June 1983)

Alcohol is found in mouthwashes. Mouthwashes containing high amounts of alcohol have been implicated in cancers of the mouth and throat, according to a 1991 study from the National Cancer Institute.

Propylene Glycol is found in a wide range of personal care products including cosmetics, shampoos and foam baths.

Propylene Glycol is a cosmetic form of oils found in brake and hydraulic fluid, as well as antifreeze. In cosmetic products it stops moisture escaping from the skin. Material Safety Data Sheets warn users to avoid skin contact with propylene glycol as this strong skin irritant could cause kidney damage and liver abnormalities.

DEA is a wetting agent used to provide a lather in shampoos, skin creams and cosmetics. On it’s own it’s not harmful, but during storage on a shelf or in a bathroom cupboard it may react with other ingredients to produce carcinogens.

The Death of Stale Breath

March 14th, 2008

Face it, stale breath is gross. I remember my girlfriend
once had this awfully foul smell coming from her mouth. She
was sleeping and didn’t know it. As much as I loved her - I
have to tell you - that moment was slightly repulsive. Don’t
worry, I got over it and our relationship certainly didn’t
suffer. But, it was annoying.

Have you ever experienced someone else’s bad breath? I
know you have, it is a common experience and you don’t have
to be around this planet very long to have your own (awful)
experience with this. Just remember the last time and think
about the strong impression it left on you. Just think
about it.

I remember my father having lousy mouth-wash breath one
time. (You have to watch out for those alcohol based
mouthwashes). I was just a little kid but that breath of
his, that I could smell from across the room, left a very,
very powerful impression on me. Thirty years later - I
still remember it, as evidenced by my writing about it now.
Needless to say, the impression was a lasting one.

I’m not saying that experiencing someone else’s stale breath
will leave a scar on your psyche or anything like that, but,
you know something like that is probably hurting you
socially (if it’s you that has it). Do you think I wanted
to stay in the same room with him at that point in time? You
better believe I was looking for any excuse to move myself
to another space in the house, so I could breathe!

You probably don’t want to suffer like that - I mean like my
dad. He probably didn’t know that he had that awful breath
and who knows who he ran into outside of the house.

Some products should be avoided like the plague. First, as
mentioned above, you have got to watch out for those
alcohol-based mouthwashes. Not only can they actually drive
people away from you, but they can also dry the mucous
membranes of the mouth.

Dry mucous membranes make it easier for bacteria to make a
home. Thereby possibly creating more bad breath. The whole
purpose of mucous is to move matter out and away. Picture a
running nose and you will get the idea. Mucous is there to
clean, moisturize and rinse.

Sodium lauryl sulfates, or their cousins, which you will
find in many toothpastes do the same thing. They can cause
the mucous membranes to dry so the membranes aren’t as
effective at doing their job. Think about how dish water,
which is filled with soap, dries your hands. It is similar
to the effect lauryl sulfates have inside your mouth. You’ll
often find these in toothpaste. Next time you are in your
bathroom, run down the list of ingredients in your
toothpaste tube.

There are products available that don’t have these
ingredients in them - alcohol and lauryl sulfates that is.
You can find them if you look around a bit. There are some
very unique alternatives. Try to find something that will
still reduce the bacteria but without drying out the mucous
membranes.

prevent, treat or diagnose any condition. See your dentist
for any oral health issues you may have.
