Physiological disease occurs when a state of dis-ease between our Spirit and Mind manifests through our body and/or when we make poor food choices. This dis-ease creates varying states of acidity; more acidity causes more severe symptoms. Over-acidity is the most prevalent and dangerous condition in our society today. It is the direct result of stress and malnutrition, i.e. a diet of processed foods and saturated fats (acidic) without any raw fruits and vegetables (alkaline).

THE CORE ISSUE: Spirit, Mind, Body (SMB) Struggle

As the logo depicts, balance is the key to our body's immune system being healthy enough to resist viral, bacterial, fungal or intellectual stresses. Emotional Stress is rooted in this Spirit-Mind imbalance and manifests itself through a variety of symptoms if left unresolved.

Let's briefly look at our three core components:

Spirit. Invisible and our most powerful alkaline source, it is being suppressed because of paralyzing intellectual fears. Our spirit is our direct link to God our creator, to love, to all good, to all wisdom, to peace. Without this essential and positive element in our daily lives, we inevitably become acidic. I believe that not recognizing this simple and powerful truth is the root cause of many chronic/acidic disorders and no amount of supplementation or proper dieting can offset the effect of neglecting and not nurturing this essential part of ourselves.

Mind. Again, invisible, it is where our conscious, unconscious, survival and intellectual processes reside. This is the root of all stress which only occurs in the mind. The mind is about survival; it's the center of our survival/fear impulses. When we only rely on or reinforce our intellect, with no allowance for Spiritual input, we create a very potent and detrimental imbalance that keeps our body in a constant "acid bath", a damaging and unhealthy situation.

Body. This is our scorecard. It visibly reflects how well we're maintaining this essential balance. Symptoms of any kind, from colds to cancer indicate some level of dis-ease. We can physiologically help ourselves by becoming acutely aware of everything we think; what we inhale; put in our mouths; or on our skin; or hair, in other words _ everything!

Everything (thoughts too) is either alkaline (good) or acidic (bad). It all has to be neutralized once in or on our body. If we are not ingesting the proper alkaline/acid balance of foods, our body looks within itself to find the balancing elements (osteoporosis is an example of this). If it cannot find ways to neutralize the acids, we become acidic, then the liver cannot filter and neutralize the toxins which leads to a state where anaerobic cells such as bacteria, virus and fungus flourish. Progressive states of acidity have predictable and detrimental effects.

Another contributing factor is physiological stress that can manifest itself when chronic oxygen deficiencies occur. This is the result of unchecked worldwide industrialization (acidic). It has severely reduced the amount of available oxygen necessary for cellular maintenance and health from historical levels of 46% to 50% to approximately 18% to 21% today; much less than half of what we need. At this level our bodies are barely maintaining with little hope of healing or fighting off the many levels of toxins in our bodies, and environment.

Air, Water, Food: Another Essential Trilogy

Not long ago, there was pure water, abundant oxygen rich air and nutritious foods and fruits. After an intellectually dominated period of achievement, we now have contaminated water, severely oxygen deprived air and essentially plastic food. Walk down the supermarket aisle and see the pride of our technology and death of our generations. Over dramatic? What's your body telling you? Are you afraid to listen?

Air. Since you can't quickly change the air quality, you must find a way to increase the oxygen level in your body. An all-natural liquid nutrition product called Oxygen Elements Plus provides a simple yet powerful oxygen therapy that enhances cellular oxygen and kills anaerobic cells. It is not a supplement or drug. It is created specifically to safely oxygenate your cells while supplying vital nutrients.

Water. Bottled or filtered water is recommended; it has to be void of chemicals or toxins to cleanse the body of its already accumulated toxins. You must drink at least half your body weight (in ounces) each day to maintain necessary hydration levels (75% for your body, 85% for your brain). Dehydration produces physiological dis-ease.

Food. Organic herbs and foods are still the simplest and best way to maintain your body's health. Insist on those grown in naturally fertilized soil and vine ripened to maximize the enzyme content. Another natural and powerful aid is available. Essential Oils, which have been used for millennia to promote cell healing and strengthen immune system function. They still provide excellent immune system support.

All of these will help you control and enhance your body's need and desire to achieve a healthy physiological state.

An Arsenal of Tools and Support

Intellectual awareness, emotional discipline and spiritual balance are what's necessary to overcome any state of dis-ease. Understanding the need for nutritious food, clean water and adequate oxygen are key to cell recovery and thus to regaining a strong immune system.

In Dr. Theodore Baroody's book Alkalize Or Die, many simple yet profound ideas are given that will assist the over-acidic person. He clearly and powerfully outlines how to understand and deal with our SMB trilogy, and provides a host of ways to help you easily understand and apply this lifesaving information.

In Dr. Peter D'Adamo's book Eat Right 4 Your Blood Type, critically important information of your blood's characteristics and how to feed it to maintain your health are given. Do you know your blood type? Many people don't, and are creating problems every time they eat.

Your body's ability or inability to properly function is completely controllable, by you. It is strictly your choice.

If you choose: to believe in God; to have faith in His marvelous process; to seek not only information, but wisdom and balance; to nurture your internal and eternally linked Spirit; you can create the awareness and balance necessary to bring your body to an alkaline state, regain your heath and vitality and establish the Spirit, Mind, Body balance necessary to know and enjoy peace. There are many people who have the knowledge and desire to help you, you only have to choose to let them. My sincere hope and prayer is that you choose this path of continual growth to find health and peace.

I am not a licensed medical doctor; these are solely my opinions which reflect my extensive study of natural healing methods, spiritual reflection and my passion for a purposeful and valued life; they are seeded in my conviction that natural science and SMB balance can create physiological health.
