Diet

Diet is the foundation of Health and Well being. This can NOT be emphasized enough. When ever we are facing an illness of any kind, weather it be mild or chronic, addressing the issue Holistically is always the safest and most effective solution. This means developing a Dietary Plan to directly boost immunity, sustain any activities the person is doing from day to day, as well as addressing what ever issue the person may be facing at this time. For example, in the case of Type 2 Diabetes, one popular dietary approach to reversing this condition is by adopting a low carb Paleo diet to help regain insulin sensitivity, balance hormones and help bring the body back to complete homeostasis. In this quick article, I will express my views on how to find what diet works best for your individual biology.

     First of all, we can make this easiest by selecting a well-established Dietary System, and use it as our blueprint to build off of. For example, the diet i've found to work best for me is a high-fat version of the Paleo Diet, that i've tweaked through trial and error to create a combination of food groups that work best for me each day. I do NOT follow the same Paleo Diet found in most diet books and include different foods and techniques from other systems to help enhance my results. For example, I include a lot of Raw Garlic and Cayenne Pepper with EVERY Meal, and drink Apple Cider Vinegar 20 minutes before I eat. These are things I've added on to help suite my own individual needs that are NOT a part of any pre-existing program.

   Other people may choose to use Dr. Weils "Anti-Inflammatory Diet" as a foundation, but might notice different foods Dr Weil recommends simply do not work well with their own individual biology, and so they tweak the diet, add and remove different elements to help enhance the benefits of the Original Diet. So essentially we are simply using the diet as a starting place, and tweaking the diet to work for our own needs and lifestyle. We are using the diet as a tool, and not becoming a slave to the diet as i've noticed so many people seem to do. Food should be a way to enhance our every day health, happiness and well-being, rather than being a religion that we just MUST follow religiously as if there isnt any other way. Unless you are working with a truly qualified and licensed Nutritionist, Functional Medicine Doctor or Naturopath, you really should work on listening to your body and educate yourself on why your body craves certain foods at certain time.

     The tricky part about listening to your bodies food cravings, is knowing when to follow them and why you are craving the foods that you are craving. For example, someone with Systemic Candida Overgrowth may go on a Candida Diet Protocol, and after a few days of eating strictly Fruits, Vegetables and Meats they may start craving Cheese, Bread, Grains and other foods they've removed out of NOWHERE! Does this mean your body is in need of specific nutrients these foods provide? Or are you craving cheese because the Cassein Protein in cheese has actually been feeding the Candida and now that you've removed the cheese from your diet, Candida is actually dying off? If you eat the cheese, you may feel good in the mean time, but then notice a flare up of Candida symptoms later on in the day or the next morning. This is a prime example of how Parasites and certain Conditions in the body can trick us into craving foods that may not be good for our health. It's very important that we can learn to differentiate between craving what we need, and craving what our illness requires to keep us ill.

     Food Intolerance

One of the most common cause's of most illness these days, next to nutrient deficiencies and hormonal imbalance, is Food Intolerance. Most people assume just because they are not Allergic to a food group, that they can eat it completely fine. The truth is, a lot of people may indeed be intolerant to food groups, common ones include: Dairy, Eggs, Grains, Nuts, Seeds, Beans and Nightshades, but yet these people will not even know they are intolerant to these foods until they remove each food from their diet at the same time for 3-4 weeks. When you go this long having removed all of the common Food Group intolerance, you may notice miraculous results take place. In my own personal experience removing these food groups completely healed my Psoriasis, Acne, Anxiety, Digestive Issues, Mood Issues, Mental Fog, Bloating, Hormonal Imbalance, and at the same time significantly improved my quality of life on all levels. Now of course, each person is going to have a different set of food intolerance's, and you can begin adding in those foods again, SLOWLY, ONE BY ONE over time. And take note on any adverse reactions you notice with each food. This is how you tweak your diet to absolutely work most effectively to your body and lifestyle.





     So in conclusion, each of us has different sets of genes, different lifestyle factors and may have different conditions that ALL play a huge role in which foods and dietary systems may work best for us. Each factor of diet can make major changes in the results we experience. High Fat Low Carb diets may make some people feel extra sluggish, while other people may feel at their absolute healthiest on a High Fat Low Carb type diet, and the same goes for different forms of Veganism.

  Through Trial and Error we can each experiment around and over time find what works absolutely best for us.

Intuition, Inspiration and Flow. Trusting in Nature.

Tune into your natural flow. Tune into your intuition and follow your inspiration. We may not understand it consciously, we may not be able to fathom such a seemingly irrational and irresponsible concept, but at times it really seems as though the universe is constantly giving us hints and clues, helping to guide us towards the light, you could say, hypothetically speaking.

  The universe works in synergy with the energies who inhabit it. If we learn to work with the natural pulls of the universe and tune ourselves to our natural state of flow, that's where the real magic happens. We can ultimately move towards health, wealth and happiness by tuning into our inspiration and following our intuition and all the magnetic pulls we feel deep within our gut.

  There is an increasingly abundant amount of scientific evidence supporting these notions, as modern society continues to unravel ancient wisdom ad science evolves further. More of us are waking up, so to speak, to universal truths and what the greatest minds in all history have been saying for all of man kind. We are one with the universe, one with nature, and thus, we can embrace this universal truth and within this, our lives will truly flourish.

  Embracing nature allows our true potential to shine through like the sun through a rain forest. Full of life, full of intuition and full of flow. Follow your heart, but listen to your mind. Align your life with your most inspired vision, and follow in that direction, while guiding conscious decisions determining a path of accuracy and sharp prowess.

  Be mindful of the cues, look out for the subtle hints and hidden lessons or transformations within every experience. Acknowledge that the universe is constantly helping you find love, happiness, prosperity and true wisdom in every given moment. Ask and it is given. Ask the right question, and you may receive the right answer. Its prayer in a nutshell, but you can call it anything, the reality is when you call upon the universe it will always deliver in one form or another. The only requirement is being open to receive the gift. Seek and you shall find. Those who seek, shall find every time. Ask yourself, "what am I seeking?" what are you tuned into, focused on in this very moment? We're all constantly seeking evidence, at every moment in time. The question is, what beliefs am i seeking evidence for? How can I seek evidence that benefits me?

Mainstream Marketing Scam

Are you nourishing your body? Or are you feeding large multi billion dollar corporations that have absolutely no interest in your health?

  85% of the products we buy at grocery stores are nothing more than over marketed hyped up nonsense. Pasteurized dairy, deodorant, body-wash, shampoo, toothpaste, "low-fat version" foods, "sugar-free" foods, and so many more of these heavily marketed commercial products are nothing more than mass-produced toxic garbage. These items are extremely overpriced and depending on the item, can contain harmful compounds that build up in your body overtime and cause malfunction.

  There is no supply without demand, and so Food Companies go through extreme measures to make sure food looks and tastes as delicious as possible. Unfortunately this is usually by adding dyes to the food, because processed food almost always looks completely disgusting without coloring. For example, a Cheeto looks like a squirmy little grey worm before adding the yellow orange color, and of course no ones going to want to eat a snack that resembles a worm. Furthermore, since its just fried fat and corn meal, the company has to add artificial flavoring and MSG (Monosodium Glutamate) to make it taste anywhere near an actual food item.

  On the other hand, fruits and vegetables, for example lets say an Orange, its got that deep vibrant Orange color, but yet its completely natural and requires no artificial petroleum dyes unlike a cheeto. Where does an orange get its natural orange color? From its naturally occurring Anti-Oxidant Carotene. Natural Colors found in all whole foods including Fruits, Vegetables, Meat, Fish and even egg yolk, all come from the Vitamins and Nourishment these foods provide. Mother nature looks, smells and tastes delicious to help guide its creatures towards true nourishment.

  However, companies are starting to add more and more coloring to make up for the lack of nutrition their foods may or may not provide, and this happens even in certain Fish, Butter and Eggs. I had to return some Mahi Mahi I bought recently because it was gassed with Carbon Monoxide, and they didn't tell me that at the meat counter, so I didnt even know the fish contained Carbon Monoxide until I read the label they printed for the fish stamped on the wrapping paper. Carbon Monoxide is sometimes used to enhance color in fish and red meat, because certain companies manufacture their products in such a cheap way that their foods completely lack nutrition, and thus become colorless and unattractive to most consumers without adding something to bring up the color and vibrancy.

  Due to the extreme lack of nourishment of these processed and artificially colored foods, as well as the toxic ingredients in these foods themselves, it is absolutely no surprise why our Society is so sick, overweight and stressed out. You cant piss in your cars fuel tank and expect it to run on piss for very long, eventually you have to give it the fuel it needs to run optimally. Of course, the mainstream health advice we receive is mostly all biased and aimed towards feeding these mass marketed companies.

  For example, the Dairy Industry and their propaganda claiming pasteurized milk is somehow the liquid of life (which its not) Unless the Milk is Raw it is completely worthless and causes more harm then good, but Raw Milk cant be consumed from sick cows raised in a Mass Production factory, or else consumers would easily become ill as a result of the cheap production practices. Raw Milk is only dangerous primarily from sick cows fed grains instead of their natural diet of grass, so conventional cows need antibiotics to compensate once again for cheap production practices. Pasteurization denatures Milk Proteins causing allergic reactions, destroys enzymes causing lactose intolerance and kills off most of the vitamins and nutrition making the milk pointless to consume, even though they add synthetic vitamins back in, you could easily just get it naturally from other food sources.

  So of course people are going to be ill. We get so caught up in mass marketed nonsense, and these products scream quantity over quality, which can slowly kill us over time. It doesn't help that the Mainstream Medical Industry almost always under estimates the fact that all illness is caused by consumption of damaging foods, nutrient deficiencies, stress, environmental factors, lifestyle factors and issues hindering detoxification. Because doctors neglect this, people just get sicker and sicker and never realize the truth behind their illness, until they actually take their own time to read tons of books, science, other peoples experience, and then piece it all together to heal themselves like I have (;

  The madness doesn't stop there. Mainstream Medical Doctors diagnose "illness" based on a group of symptoms. The diagnosis is simply a label to describe a group of symptoms that can have a variety of different causes each unique to the individual, and because of this, Mainstream Doctors prescribe Drugs to ease the group of symptoms associated with the "Diagnosis". But they aren't even trained to see patterns and get to the root cause of the illness.

  From this, one Medication produces "side-effects" and most Doctors generally just prescribe even more Drugs to ease those symptoms. Over time your body becomes chronically ill, due to an over-abundance of "toxicity" from all of the mass-marketed hygiene products like lotions, sunscreens, cremes, shampoos, body wash, processed foods including pasteurized milk, and then the Medical Drugs simply inhibit your bodies attempt to self-regulate and balance it all out.

  So its just toxicity on top of toxicity, on top of toxicity. And Medical Drugs just add to the problem. Histamine helps the body to remove potentially harmful substances from our body. Antihistamines stops our immune system from removing these substances, so of course this isn't good. Inflammation is our immune systems natural mechanism to heal skin, organs, and all systems of the body. This is why wounds become red and warm, inflammation is a sign the bodies shuttling blood, warmth and nutrition to the area to help protect and heal it. Anti-inflammatory drugs INHIBIT THE BODIES NATURAL ABILITY TO HEAL ITSELF.

The solution is simply sticking to all-natural wholefoods, natural hygiene products and using natural medicine when necessary. These days most grocery stores do in fact sell toothpaste without Artificial Flavorings and Petroleum based dyes. Body wash and shampoos without Petroleum based dyes and other cancerous compounds that irritate the skin and are absorbed into the body through the skin.

  Making your own hygiene products can be much more cost-effective and can work wonders for your health. People with skin issues such as psoriasis, eczema, etc can really benefit from making their own specialized skin care products as well as addressing the root cause (usually intestinal or hormonal issues cause so-called autoimmune disorders) through diet and individualized Herbal Medicine.

  Herbal Medicine, in addition to specialized Dietary Protocols specific to your condition, is an extremely effective way of treating or reversing any illness. From my experience, there is absolutely no better way to heal ANY condition than a Natural Holistic systematic approach, incorporating Diet, Lifestyle and Natural Medicine like Herbal Teas, Tinctures, Capsules and Powders, or Amino Acids, Probiotics, Yoga, Medicinal Baths, Specific Exercise, etc. Holistic Medicine attacks disease from all angles, it is affordable, realistic and in my opinion, it is the most effective way to heal from any disease.
