Since you are reading Truly Alive, you are obviously seeking to improve on some level; mentally, emotionally, spiritually, physically, structurally, dietarily, etc. Perhaps something is not where you’d like it to be. You are aware this is true, even if tests don’t show it – YOU know it. Or perhaps tests do show something amiss, but you don’t like the options offered by traditional western medicine. But where do you start?

You must become a “fundamentalist”. The fundamentals for good health are: “everything matters”! This includes what you eat, what you drink, what you think, the emotions you are generating, and last, but not least, what you are eliminating (or NOT eliminating) and how often (or how seldom) you are eliminating.

These are similar to your automobile: proper fuel and good elimination. You car needs the intake and the exhaust. Fluids and filters need to be changed and periodic tune-ups keep your engine running at its best. The same is true for us humans and other mammals. We need proper fuel compatible with our design or make up. The best fuel/nutrition is plant food. Anything else creates inflammation, and therefore, can set the stage for illness and a variety of disease processes.

If what goes in doesn’t come out in a timely manner (12-24 hours), even the very best of nutrition will stagnate, ferment and become toxic. If your bowels are not working properly and you are not eliminating regularly, other organ systems have to take up the slack. So your liver, kidneys, skin and lungs suffer and problems occur.

Symptoms that most of us ignore include: tiredness, foul smelling gas or bowel movements, body order, bad breath and allergies. These are all voices from your body telling you (subtly or loudly), that you are constipated, stagnating, putrefying and even dying inside.

These voices if ignored, (and most of us ignore them because they are tolerable) can result in health problems. If they are ignored long enough, serious problems can arise: chronic fatigue, autoimmune problems and whatever name “they” give or assign to your problem or condition. It is all a result of toxicity…improper inputs and neglecting the importance of proper outputs.

I was born in the 40’s. Doctors were not plentiful. They made house calls. Drug stores barely existed. Most homes had a red, hot-water bottle hanging in the bathroom. It was the one-stop shop for fixing most health problems. People understood that using the red bottle (enemas) worked; that when the bowel is clean, you are healthy. The blood runs cleaner and the lymph system does not have much debris to clean up. Your liver, kidneys, adrenals, thyroid, prostate and female reproductive organs are happy; can do their job and function properly when they don’t have added work to do because of an overload due of accumulated toxins.

Knowledge, discipline and consistency can help you reclaim the vitality of your youth – IF you get back to the basics. START NOW. You’ll see that WHAT’S NEXT is a healthier, happier you.

YOU CAN DO IT ! ! ! What’s stopping you – Tradition? Culture? Habit? Be informed. Be well. IT IS WORTH IT.
