Supporting your body at the cellular level, with great nutrition, proper digestion and elimination is the best health enhancing and anti-aging regimen that you can do.

Unfortunately in this day and age, many influences, known and unknown, affect the quality of our food and our capability of absorbing the nutrients from that food. Studies continue to show that our food source is low in vitamins and minerals due to the soil being deficient. Then add to that the premature harvesting, travelling and storage of produce, and the cooking process which further depletes the valuable vitamins, minerals and enzymes. It is therefore of vital importance to eat organic and/or local as much as possible and to supplement our diet to ensure our body functions at an optimum level.

There are countless studies showing that by simply increasing vitamin and mineral intake you can promote mental clarity, weight loss, boost your immunity, reduce stress, prevent cancer and other degenerative diseases, combat depression, lower blood pressure, reduce cravings, increase energy levels, improve your sleep, and regulate digestion. There are many different combinations to promote certain functions of the body however it is important to embark on a base of whole food (not synthetic) supplementation.

Our bodies are attacked by thousands of man-made chemicals, we drink chlorinated and fluoridated water (depleting friendly bacteria and other nutrients), we are assaulted by electromagnetic pollution everywhere and we eat processed, nutrient deficient food (even what appears to be healthy) that is drenched in pesticides and other toxins. Our over burdened immune systems cannot fight it all off and illness and diseases like cancer can take over.

There is much truth in the saying ‘you are what you eat’. It is no surprise then that one of the most common factors linking people with heart disease is poor dietary and lifestyle habits. This typically includes a diet which is high in processed food, bad fats, sugars and ‘fast food’ and which is deficient in whole fresh foods such as vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds and legumes.

Within a 4 hour period, the body digests the necessary nutrition that you need then excretes the rest. So eat and supplement 3 or more times per day to build healthier tissues. You can’t over dose on plant based nutritional supplements-- any excess gets excreted.

Synthetics though, stay in the body and the excess magnified. Fortified vitamins found in cereals and other foods are synthetic. Even natural minerals in cereals etc. come from the ground, which are not utilized by our bodies properly. Our bodies need plant based minerals to effectively use them.
Synthetic supplements have a ‘left’ spin energetically, which eventually is ‘life draining’. You at first experience an improvement because the left spin has to shift to neutral. Because synthetic supplements are not sufficiently excreted they create toxins that stay in the body, creating an unhealthy, nutrient draining environment. Unfortunate… especially when people think they are supporting their bodies. You age faster and starve the cells of vital nutrients by using synthetic supplements.

Whole Food-Plant based supplements have a ‘right’ spin, are easily digested and are life enhancing.

A diet full of (preferably 50 % or more raw) vegetables and fruit will not only decrease your risk for obesity, heart disease, cancer, diabetes, cataracts, stroke and hypertension, but also keep you looking younger (and living longer). Vegetables are a major source of antioxidants, which to your body means less cell damage from free radicals (the basic biochemical mechanism implicated in the aging process), less damage to collagen (i.e., fewer wrinkles) and less damage to the internal organs (meaning they wear out more slowly). A majority of plants contain antioxidants in abundance,
Healthy, organic foods and plant based supplements are part of a healthy regimen. Though the more responsibility you have at home or work, or the more chaos you live with, the more you burn up even good nutrition. In this case, take more supplements to feed and fuel your body sufficiently.

The typical ‘American diet’ is extremely high in fats, sugars, other carbs, preservatives, and additives—often devoid of nutritional content. Refer to the Basic Dietary Rules page if you feel it is time to review and improve your eating habits. Though just adding the supplement suggestions will dramatically improve your body nutritionally, feed the immune system, and will start to eliminate the parasites that overrun the typical “American diet”. As your body benefits from this new regimen, you naturally start choosing other health enhancing options.

Drink enough water so that your urine is clear enough to ‘read through’-- whether it takes eight glasses a day or 12. If you're physically active, you'll need even more.

Diet is the major factor contributing to your Ph balance.
All food breaks down to either an alkaline (health enhancing) or acidic (health draining) ash. Some foods like citrus fruit are ‘acid’ on the outside but break down to an alkaline ash. A diet high in acid-forming food will cause the body to become too acidic. Sadly, the typical American diet—meats, high sugar, high fat, low complex carbs—is acid forming. Meat, fish, poultry, eggs, dairy, white sugars, flours products, pasta, breads, most cooked grains, most beans, most nuts, candy, soda, coffee, tobacco, alcohol, chemical additives, preservatives, drugs, and synthetic vitamins are all acid forming.
Because sprouting turns acid forming grains and beans to alkaline forming foods add more of them to your diet.

Doctor Ted Morter in Dynamic Health States:
“When your body is too acid, your systems and organs work overtime just to stay even. But systems and organs aren’t designed to function flat-out in red-alert mode all the time. They need rest just as you do. If the red-alert goes on for months or even years, systems and organs become exhausted. An exhausted body can’t compete with disease. Eventually, disease wins the game.”

An overly acidic body is found in most people with acute or chronic diseases.
A few of the many common symptoms of overly acidic bodies include: arthritis, depression, headaches, lethargy, gastritis, dulled mentality, fatigue, stiffness, stomach issues, chest pain, constipation, irritability, sinus problems, and sleep problems. Cancer cells live better in an acidic environment.

Our diets should be made up of 80 % alkaline foods and 20 % acidic foods. Start eliminating as many ‘unhealthy’ choices as possible, improving over time.
Look for the page titled: Basic Dietary Rules and begin improving your dietary choices.

Calcium is pulled out of the bones as the body tries to neutralize the acidic environment contributing to osteoporosis. Many people eat dairy for the calcium, but the sad truth is it takes more calcium out of the bones than you uptake just to neutralize the acidity!

 

Less than 6 % of doctors receive any formal training in nutrition. There is a whole body of knowledge and research that has been ignored by medical scholars. Modern medicine evolves around a pill for every ill, and the general public accepts this too easily. As we demand more awareness, this will continue to improve. Pharmaceutical company’s are in the business of making money. Let’s affirm that companies in general have integrity and profit, just not at our health’s expense!

It has gotten way out of hand. The drug regulators are paid for by the pharmaceutical companies as well as the academics researching the drugs. Most medical journals and medical school libraries are financially supported by the drug companies as well.
They do what ever they can to influence the need for their drugs. There is no major profit in health via optimal nutrition.

106,000 people per year die of ‘normal side effects’ from pharmaceutical drugs. These people took the drug as prescribed with no doctor errors. That’s 2,438,000 dead over a 23 year period from drugs! The same time period, has only 10 people dead from unsubstantiated use of vitamins! You have a choice what goes into your mouth. You have a choice to heal from the inside out. You have a choice to invest in preventative nutritional care. You have a choice to be responsible for your health. You ARE worth it.

Our bodies naturally detoxify everyday as part of a normal body process. Detoxification is one of the body’s most basic automatic functions of eliminating and neutralizing toxins through the colon, liver, kidneys, lungs, lymph and skin. Unfortunately in this day and age, with the pollution found in the air, water and food we eat, our bodies have a hard time keeping up. Our chemicalized diet with too much animal protein, too much saturated and trans fats, too much caffeine and alcohol radically changes our internal ecosystem.

Body systems and organs that were once capable of cleaning out unwanted substances are now completely over-loaded to the point where toxic material remains inside our tissues. Our bodies try to protect us from dangerous substances by setting it aside, surrounding it with mucous and fat so that it will not cause an imbalance or trigger an immune response (some people carry up to 15 extra pounds of mucous that harbors this waste as well as excess fat cells that encapsulate the toxins.)
Detoxification through The Right Solution’s Maintenance B and followed by Liver Balance is one of the best way to assist your body’s natural self-cleaning system. Even if your diet is good, a regular cleanse (4or more times per year) can revitalize your system and rid your body of harmful bacteria, viruses and parasites. It is especially important for immune-compromised diseases like cancer, arthritis, diabetes and chronic fatigue (detoxing done monthly will hasten the release of a life time of toxins). It is important to only use a detox system that grabs the toxins, holds them harmless, and releases them through the bowels. Many detox systems unfortunately release the toxins back into the blood stream creating an upheaval of symptoms and over taxing your health.
