Family Health

What is Health?Though modern definitions of health state that there is an absence of disease, there may be more to good health than what can be written. In fact, health is complex as it involves so many aspects of our lives.

We might believe that health generally fades and fails over time. The truth is that there is much we can do to reverse signs of ill health, reverse signs of aging and reverse serious disease symptoms when we bring the body into balance with natural healing remedies. Balance requires practice, persistence and consistent use of supplements, detoxification, positive thoughts, nutritious foods and body movement. The connections between all of these modalities form a matrix of good health. In fact, improved health and continued health improvements, or what we call "health", is a balance of physical, mental and social well being.

Wouldn't it be nice if the new cells made by the body every day were fresh, healthy cells? Aren't they?

 

What Are Healthy Cells?Healthy cells retain their genetic code, the very delicate DNA inside the nucleus of every cell, and duplicate it nearly perfectly every time the cell divides. However, DNA becomes damaged over time. Damage to cells and, in many cases, to the cell DNA comes from radiation ever present in our environment, GMO foods, toxins from pesticides and personal care products, processed foods, heavy metals and so many other sources.

Healthy blood cells carry oxygen to other cells without fail. Healthy cells of the pancreas produce insulin with great precision in order to maintain correct blood sugar levels. Healthy cells of the brain fire messages flawlessly in order for us to think clearly. Healthy muscle cells perform every muscle action both voluntary and involuntary to do everything from heart beat to that perfect golf swing. Healthy cells of the immune system fight germs and disease with great accuracy and unrelenting strength. In other words, in a perfect world, health comes from the body's ability to create new, healthy cells every day. Old or damaged cells are replaced every day. Wouldn't it be nice if the replacements were as good as our first, youthful cells?

Disease SymptomsBy the time a serious diagnosis for disease is pronounced by your doctor you have likely already been experiencing signs of disease or symptoms for a long time. How could you have known? Most people may ignore, for example, weight loss as a symptom, feeling a little happier to shed a few pounds. Allergies and rashes may have been treated with over-the-counter medications, but persist for weeks or even years. Though an allergy may not seem so bad, it could be a warning sign of a body out of balance . . . one that is headed for bigger issues such as cancer if ignored. The truth is that for most people, serious diseases may be a surprise. But further examination may reveal that they have already been tolerating symptoms or even other diseases for a long time.

A person with an autoimmune disease, for example, is already experiencing difficulties with the immune system. Diabetes, asthma, arthritis and many others can be categorized as autoimmune. Autoimmune diseases can be found to effect every system in the body and every aspect of health including sleep, digestion, blood, specific organs and organ functions, with far-reaching effects. If the immune system is compromised, then how can it work effectively to fight cancer? It can't. Drugs that treat the symptoms generally don't work to heal the body. Masking the symptoms may just make matters worse in the long run. Might it be better then to remove the cause of the problem and support a healthy immune system to become truly healthy?

How to Be HealthyGood health may be easier to achieve when you know a few basic concepts about how to be healthy.

1. Remove Toxins- Detoxification using a safe and gentle oral chelator is essential to remove toxins that have built up over time in the body. Your body works hard to protect you from toxins, storing them within fat cells, joints, bones and soft tissue. You also have important organs which help to clean your body every day; liver, kidneys, lungs, etc. But these organs act as filters which can become clogged with toxins and work less efficiently over time. You don't want to be on a list to change your filters (transplant) and mechanical cleaning of your blood (dialysis) is not only expensive, but very hard on the body. Using effective natural chelation methods work better in the long run to detoxify, especially if you start now and continue daily.

2. Rebuild Healthy Cells- Just as it's hard to build a nice piece of furniture with inferior supplies, you'll want to have good supplies to rebuild a healthy body. Nutrition for health comes in the form of unprocessed or minimally processed foods. You probably won't find the everything you need for good health, rebuilding healthy cells, in food from a box, can or package. Though the list of ingredients on the label may be impressive, you'll want to at least be able to know what you're eating. Is there hidden sugar? MSG? Too much salt? Preservatives? How about the plastic itself from the package or can? You're eating that too. So try to buy foods you find along the perimeter of the grocery store rather than up and down the aisles. Here's where the fruits and vegetables, meats and dairy products are located. Rebuild healthy cells with real food.

3. Supplement- Although eating well is part of good health, we generally don't get enough of what we need from our diet. Supplements which provide high levels of antioxidants, a balanced profile of vitamins and minerals, essential fatty acids and omega-3  and omega-6 oils, beta-glucans as from medicinal mushrooms, amino acids and more can be found in appropriate concentrations to help regain health, rebuild healthy cells, fend off signs of aging, cell damage and disease symptoms.

4. Create Balance- We can't always be even tempered, stress-free and zen-like. Our modern world requires us to be on task with our jobs, protect our families and deal with society in general. That's why it's important to prioritize how to be healthy. When you don't have your health . . . what DO you have? Find a way to create balance, reduce stress, make time for pleasure and leisure and care for what really matters in your life.

 

Prevention; the Key to Family Health

From even before the moment you hold your child in your arms you carefully plan and dream of all the limitless possibilities for your family; health, happiness, prosperity . . . You make careful choices to keep your family safe and healthy. But is your family's health really safe from hidden toxins? How can you prevent disease using natural, alternative remedies instead of treat disease symptoms?

 

Reasons For Family Disease and IllnessThe most overlooked reason for 99% of illnesses and disease in everyone from children through adults and seniors is toxicity. Toxins effect the immune system, so children who are prone to chronic infections, allergies and asthma have trouble with the symptoms. Adults who experience pain and stiffness from arthritis, fibromyalgia, neurological diseases such as Parkinson's or MS may also have higher levels of toxicity which trigger symptoms. Yet, with the wonders of modern medicine and pharmaceutical drugs, treatment for family health is often not preventative but rather drug treatments for the symptoms of a poorly functioning immune system, due in large part to toxins.

 

What is the Immune System?The immune system is like a complex machine in the body comprised of many important elements. Skin, nostril hairs, bones, gut, liver, spleen, blood, mucous membranes and more all interact, protect and defend the body from bacterial and viral attack as well as clear the body of abnormal cells (scar tissue, old cells and cancer cells). All parts of the immune system are vital and may become compromised in the presence of toxins. In a person with a well functioning immune system, viruses (including the toughest ones . . . HIV, flu, etc) and bacteria have less impact. Disease recovery becomes easier and less fearful. Reinforcing the immune system with important nutrients can strengthen immunity to fight disease on it's own.

 

Natural Remedies For Family HealthLong before drug therapies, chemotherapy, antibiotics and radiation therapy became widely accepted, natural home remedies and natural healing alternatives provided relief for common ailments. Colds were treated with rest, fluids and nutritionally potent soups as well as specific herbs. Asian medicine offers a long history of natural remedies with acupuncture and Chinese herbs. From Japan we learned Reiki. Heat packs, cold packs, massage, yoga, swimming, simple hydration and a nutritional diet all become effective for good health, pain management and sound sleep.

 

Industrial pollutants, environmental toxins, modern agriculture, crop management and pesticides challenged our immune systems to the brink. Cancer, diabetes, heart disease, MS and a long list of modern diseases need more than one natural home remedy. These diseases require us to become empowered with knowledge to become healthy at the core; establishing a foundation for a clean, healthy body using detox and a supporting a strong immune system. Detox is the critical step in becoming healthy and having better family health.

 

Assess Family Health for Prevention

Regular assessments for toxicity and nutritional needs help your family's health stay on track. Non-invasive and very accurate, use bio-survey nutritional assessments to map a plan for wellness.

 

Add Vital Nutrients; Help Support a Healthy Immune System With Important Supplements

It's nearly impossible today to get all of the vital nutrients we need to support a healthy immune system just by eating a healthy diet. Now more than ever, it's important to add specific supplements, targeted to your health needs. These supplements, when combined with other natural alternatives become the home remedies for today's family health. It's a new approach for modern families who wish to find health naturally, without drug interference.
