My Theory

by Sam Suska

My theory, like nearly all theories begins with the acceptance of other theories. I formed my theory upon accepting the basic scientific belief that everything has a cause. I then applied this cause-effect thesis to my investigation of human 'beings'; of which I approached my observation and evaluation from a 'holistic' point of view. My approach is built with a foundational belief that the person is more than just a human organism. I am confident that human 'beings' are composed of mind, matter and spirit which operate together and form our physical entity.

Thus, I theorize that everything occurring within the human organism and the 'being' as a whole has a cause; this includes the mental acuity, physical energy and bodily function experienced day in and day out. I further theorize that human 'beings' have the profound ability to address the causes of what happens within their 'being'; mind, body and spirit. It is within our power to fulfill our physical, mental and emotional potential if we address the underlying causes of these characteristics with a rationally determined and practically structured approach.

Unfortunately it has become commonplace for people to believe that bodily health, mental and physical energy, and even feelings, emotional stability, peace of mind and ability to sustain happiness (I call this 'contentment') are largely out of their control. This means that most people tend to give up responsibility for one, some and sadly in many cases they feel powerless over all of these valuable characteristics; meaningful characteristics which I believe are direct reflections of the degree of harmony between one's mind, body and spirit. Furthermore, many people do not accept that we have a spiritual presence; and if they do, they lack a uniform definition of the spirit. So, I will quickly summarize the spiritual essence as the sub-conscious entity of the mind.

At this point, you are beginning to accept the cause-effect nature within the whole 'being'; not just the human organism and conscious mind but also the spiritual element (after having accepted a spiritual presence that is). Of vital importance is that people accept the power they have over their bodily health and energy, mental sharpness, feelings and emotional stability. Taking the step towards self-empowerment is the process I take readers through in my book; I affectionately call this 'The Stages of Self-Empowerment'.

I believe that promoting the 'ideal states' of mind, body and spirit generates harmony between the aspects of 'being' and gives an individual power over their health, energy, general feeling and emotional stability. The mind, body and spirit when readily holding their 'ideal states' will form a powerful bond and connection which creates the harmonious existence necessary for a person to reach their ultimate potential. The human organism will, in time experience vitality, sustainable mental and physical energy when the 'ideal states' hold equilibrium for a significant time frame. It is the 'holistic equilibrium' which enables emotional stability, peace of mind, contentment and even heightened performance, production and heightened ability to feel and express love while regularly providing meaningful help to others.

This means that I believe the strength of connection and bond between one's mind, body and spirit have profound meaning the result of powerful influence. Harmony or imbalance are the direct reflection of how readily the mind, body and spirit maintain their 'ideal states'. And this management of physical, conscious and subconcious states are ultimately the product of our intentions and choices.

I believe the physical entity, conscious and subconscious operations are not only highly interactive with each other, but they are, in large part one and same. I define and describe the so-called 'ideal state' of each aspect of 'being' because it is easiest to classify and explain in this manner; but the truth is that everything within us isn't just connected, it is all one and same.

I theorize and describe the conscious mind as flowing within blood, physically operated by the brain. I observe the spiritual entity as the electrical forces physically bonding our matter and forming cells, tissues and organs; the spiritual aspect is an 'innate intelligence' I believe. Quite simply, I proclaim that the human organism is constructed by 'innate intelligence' and largely dependent on 'holistic intelligence'.

'Holistic intelligence' is the ability one has to maintain equilibrium within their mind, body and spirit and form harmony within one's whole 'being'. Equilibrium is dependent on the ability to maintain ideal states of mind, body and spirit have a multitude of 'homeostatic mechanisms' designed to promote or restore equilibrium within the whole 'being'. The efficiency of an individual's 'homeostatic mechanisms' plays a great role in the ultimate harmony or imbalance within the whole ultimately expressed by levels of sustainable energy, bodily function, emotional stability, etc. The key here is that the 'homeostatic mechanisms' are dictated by one's lifestyle choices; choices in how they perform and fulfill the 'basic functions'.

'Holistic Intelligence' plays an essential role in assisting the 'homeostatic mechanisms', but it's most prominent role is in the approach one takes to life and makes lifestyle choices. Lifestyle choices made in regards to the 'basic functions' largely determines whether or not 'homeostatic mechanisms' are ever initiated, which of these regulators (mostly taking place specifically within the body, which clearly impacts the states of mind and spirit) is applied and even how abrupt and powerful the impact is. The 'basic functions' are the actions and behaviors which enable and preserve the human organism include breathing, thinking, choosing, moving, eating, drinking, eliminating, sleeping, grooming and socializing.

It is the manners and sources we use to promote and fulfill the 'basic functions' that directly dictate use of 'homeostatic mechanisms' and significantly affect the state of mind, body and spirit (based on strength/efficiency of the 'homeostatic mechanisms'). If a person makes 'poor choices' (I categorize as 'negative stressors' when structuring the suggested lifestyle) this compromises equilibrium in many ways, directly by the efficiency of the 'homeostatic mechanisms'.

The lifestyle choices have potential to form harmony or sadly create imbalance which is expressed by patterns we identify as illness, disease, sickness, unclear thinking, emotional instability, inner conflict, insecurity, depression, anxiety and in genetically strong or younger individuals it will inhibit the ultimate fulfilling of mental, emotional and physical potential.

The choices one makes in how they perform and what they use to fulfill the 'basic functions' is actually the direct expression of intention the person approaches their entire life with. When one approaches their lifestyle with the intention to promote harmony and 'holistic connection' by making choices which promote the 'ideal states' of mind, body and spirit they are displaying self-empowerment. The self-empowered choices are classified in my structured lifestyle as 'optimal choices' with 'holistic intentions' and referred to as 'positive stressors' due to my finding that they have an overall benefit to the whole 'being' (by promoting the 'ideal states').

When a person does not intend to promote their 'holistic connection' by preserving the 'ideal state' of either mind, body or spirit they are simply making 'poor choices'. The approach to life with 'non-holistic intentions' takes power away from the individual by disturbing equilibrium and initiating the 'homeostatic mechanisms', possibly leading to and forming patterns, potentially destructive, debilitating and physically degenerating patterns which can easily get out of hand and form the undesirable expressions like bodily symptoms, chronic diseases or so-called low-grade psychological issues like anxiety or depression.

My theory is that the intention one approaches life with is the deepest underlying factor in physical health and sustainable energy, mental acuity, rationality of feelings (rational!), emotional stability and whether or not one can ultimately experience peace of mind and contentment. I further believe that if one approaches life with the intention to promote their own 'holistic connection' and promote harmony they will tend to make choices which preserve the 'ideal states' of mind, body and spirit which, in time will improve sustainable mental and physical energy, possibly help physical issues and significantly affect emotional management, peace of mind and feeling of contentment.

I have written a book entitled "Holistic Intelligence: The Key to Physical Energy, Emotional Stability and Peace of Mind" which gives the reader a thorough explanation of my theory here complete with a basic guide to begin implementing the practically structured lifestyle I call 'holistic self-care'. I like to believe that my well-formulated approach to life can help anyone regardless of their present condition improve the way they feel in both mind and body by simply applying some 'holistic intentions' to their lifestyle.

My theory is built from my overall web of theories which is/are the result(s) of years of research (here are some of the books I have devoured and determine to be helpful: http://truehealthservices.blogspot.com/2011/06/bibliography-of-true-health-with.html) , personal experimentation (I would never suggest something w/o doing it myself) and professional experience helping others institute 'holistic self-care' in various degrees and manners.

The lifestyle of 'holistic self-care' is rather practical and can even be individualized to put a peson in position for long-term success. On a day-to-day basis this includes making primarily 'optimal choices' in the manners and sources used to perform and fulfill the 'basic functions'. In my book I teach the reader how to evaluate the many options available to satisfy the 'basic functions' with a cost/benefit analysis. This cost/benefit analysis enables one to determine whether or not a choice is a 'positive stressor' or 'negative stressor' on their whole 'being'.

After my years of experience with 'holistic self-care' (both personally and professionally) I have concluded that the deepest underlying factor in whether or not one consistently makes 'optimal choices' is their intentions. This points to the importance of not only understanding my theory but accepting it and initiating the process of applying 'holistic intentions' to your life. 'Holistic intentions' and the 'holistic self-care' lifestyle built from these can and will help you improve yourself in a meaningful way regardless of present condition or reason for consideration.

Meat and Dairy? Are you sure?

by Sam Suska

Meat and dairy consumption take an incredible economic toll on the United States. This occurs directly by the $40 billion in subsidies given to the farmers to keep prices low and then indirectly from a portion of the incredible $2.5+ trillion spent annually on healthcare. Now, not all of the healthcare costs are directly related to meat and dairy consumption, but much of this cost is. Keep in mind that the majority of the healthcare costs are related to the management of chronic disease; chronic disease related to poor diets heavily based on meat and dairy.

Here are 10 reasons to re-think the consumption of meat and dairy............

1. According to a great number of large, well-designed population studies it has become obvious that as meat and dairy consumption increases within a group of people their likelihood of developing chronic diseases increases. That is, if a group of people eats about 10% more meat and dairy they tend to develop about 10% more chronic disease. The China Study is clearly the most notable, but many more have found this general connection between meat and dairy consumption with poor health.

2. By contrast the healthiest groups of people had plant-based diets high in nutrients like Omega-3 fats and fiber while low in overall protein and most of them were low to very low in meat and dairy types of food. There tends to be a direct correlation as well; if a group eats 20% more plants they develop 20% less disease. When a person consumes meat and dairy a person they are also missing out on the chance to consume more plants, more Omega-3 fats and more fiber while eating more protein than healthy populations have been shown to eat.

3. The amount of protein in a groups diet was the focal point of many of these studies, and this makes sense as more protein almost always equaled more chronic disease. Protein composes about 7% of the entire human body, yet tends to make up over 40% of the calories for many misguided Americans. The human body doesn't need protein to operate; the body needs amino acids, which make up proteins, to function adequately. How does one figure out how much protein they need?

There is no rational way to figure out just how much protein a person needs, but by following the design of the human body (which is 7% protein by composition) and researching the healthiest populations (which tend to have about 5-12% protein of total calories) we can get a solid idea of what we need for daily protein intake. Exercise can also be factored in to our computing of just how much protein to consume; as the more active someone is, the more protein they may need.

At most, 20% of one's total calories should calories should come from protein and this can be found in green leafy vegetables, seeds, nuts and even fish, which is a much healthier alternative to meat and dairy. Green leafy vegetables are actually 50% protein by composition, meaning they are more protein-dense than any kind of meat. The proteins in these plant foods also tends to be incomplete, which is a GOOD thing as it makes digestion much easier and more suitable to the design of the human body.

4. Digesting meats and dairy are incredibly stressful on the body, which has a digestive system that appears to be designed for eating a plant-based diet. The human digestive system is over 30 feet long, with over 7,000 sq. feet of surface area in the small intestine to absorb the foods we have ingested. No other living creature on earth that consumes a diet with meat and dairy has a digestive system like ours.

Creatures designed to eat mostly animals have short, simple digestive systems. Ours is long, complicated and easily damaged; damage often times occurs from the complete proteins found in meat and dairy. The 7,000 sq. ft. of surface area in the small intestine is made up of tiny finger-like projections that absorb foods; but many of the protein molecules found in meat and dairy are too big for the micro-villi of the small intestine.

These large protein molecules can cause damage which initiates a mucus secretion, inflammation and can even create areas of the gut where it is permeable thus allowing these large protein molecules into the blood supply without proper absorption by the micro-villi. This is known as 'leaky-gut syndrome' and is thought to be wide-spread among the meat and dairy consuming public. 'Leaky gut syndrome' can initiate patterns that are expressed with poor immune system function, persistent allergies and chronic fatigue

5. Within the human body meat and dairy have the potential to initiate many health-damaging patterns. Many of these harmful pattern are from the metabolic acids directly produced from consuming meat and dairy; these include uric acid (think gout) and sulfuric, phosphoric and nitric acids (think osteoporosis) while dairy has lactic acid (think cancer). These acids are powerful and initiate a cascade of events the body must deal with, and as the body wears down with age the person becomes more susceptible to the chronic diseases noted here.

Uric acid has been shown to directly cause gout, while all of these acids from meat and dairy have been shown to initiate osteoclasts in the human body; these signal the break down of bones and lead to the condition of osteoporosis. Lactic acid may be worse, as it is a metabolic waste product of cellular function; we have all felt the effect of lactic acid generating in our own bodies when our muscles fatigue, tire and "burn".

In fact, lactic acid has been observed by nobel prize winner Dr. Otto Warburg as promoting the environment for cancerous cells to maintain and possibly prosper. Cancer cells have the ability to consume their own waste (lactic acid) in order to survive and possibly thrive; the same waste is generated directly in the body from dairy consumption.

Meat and dairy directly generate powerful metabolic acids in the human body which have been shown to cause serious health issues. A young, reasonably active person may not develop these issues for some time because their body has the ability to use homeostatic mechanisms to handle these powerful acids, but these mechanisms are bound to break down when they are constantly employed.

6. The homeostatic mechanisms employed by the body include the aforementioned breakdown of bones in order to obtain calcium for the blood to neutralize the acidity (lowered pH) resulting from meat and dairy consumption. Meat and dairy directly lower the blood pH in the human body, but the blood pH must stay at about 7.365 for the body to function, so a variety of homeostatic mechanisms are designed to maintain this necessary pH.

The kidneys play an important role in maintaining the blood pH by filtering the blood and removing these acids via urination. The kidneys also have the ability to generate ammonia, a powerful chemical the body uses as a 'last resort' to stabilize the blood pH. When the body is constantly given meat and dairy the kidneys become overworked; this is proven by the conventional medical finding that high-protein diets corresponds to a number of kidney disorders and diseases.

7. Dairy has been shown to directly initiate mucus secretion in the small intestine. Mucus is secreted by the body in order to protect the tissues; in this case protection from the acids within dairy. Mucus secretion may also occur within the nasal passages and possibly the lungs as well, depending on the amount of dairy consumed and the sensitivities of the individuals body. Sinus congestion and lung inflammation are often times found to be the direct result of dairy consumption.

Integrated medical physicians like Dr. Joel Furman, Dr. Mark Hyman and Dr. Noel Gallagher among many more point to dairy consumption as the cause of sinus issues for more than half of the millions suffering from this. They have each found great success by working with patients to remove dairy from their diets and found great success in reducing sinus problems and other health issues as well.

8. Meat and dairy consumption has also been shown to play a role in the development of heart disease within a population. First, there are multiple studies where researchers evaluated the dead bodies of young people, from the early teens to the mid-twenties and found that over 70% of them had significant signs of heart disease. This means that heart disease may develop for 20 years or more until people develop symptoms which signify this potentially deadly (from heart attacks) and life restricting chronic disease.

Secondly, there is the work of notable physicians like Dr. Dean Ornish and Dr. Caldwyn Esselstyn who have been significantly reversing heart disease in patients by instructing them to remove meat and dairy from their diets. If removing meat and dairy from the diet can reverse damage and patterns that have been taking place for 20-30 years then we must acknowledge that a diet rich in these types of foods is harmful and potentially disease promoting.

9. Free radical damage and inflammation of blood vessels are now conventionally pointed to as the conditions of heart disease. Free radicals promote oxidation of body tissues, which is clearly damaging and inflammation is the body's response to this pattern. Free radicals can be neutralized by substances we know of as 'antioxidants', which have become quite popular in recent years; and for good reason.

Meat and dairy have been shown to leave an acidic ash in the blood vessels upon consumption, and this ash has a low pH which directly oxidizes whatever tissues it comes in contact with (blood vessels). So, the more meat and dairy one eats the more free radicals their body is exposed to and the more antioxidants required by the body to neutralize these harmful substances. Antioxidants are dense in plant foods and even fish, but are low and in some cases completely absent in meat and dairy foods.

Furthermore, the process of inflammation is also initiated in the blood vessels from the meat and dairy which leave the acidic ash within blood vessels. The inflammation process is generated by a fatty acid called arichidonic acid which is a result of consuming meat, dairy and poor types of fat (among others). Meat and dairy consumption generate arachidonic acid in the body which then initiates the hormones that signal the inflammation process.

The inflammation process is like free radicals, this can be neutralized; in this case by Omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fats can be found in fish and fish oil, organic oils like hemp and flaxseed, nuts like walnuts and even many types of seeds; but they are low to non-existent in the meat and dairy foods consumed by much of the public.

So, meat and dairy consumption causes free radicals (which lead to damage if not neutralized by antioxidants) and leads to inflammation (if not balanced by Omega-3's). Free radical damage and inflammation are shown to be the underlying conditions of heart disease by conventional medical research. So, by eating meat and dairy one is not only promoting heart disease but also likely not consuming enough antioxidants and Omega-3's to neutralize and balance the potentially harmful substances.

10. Meat and dairy probably cause significantly more free radicals and inflammatory effects in the body due to the lives of the animals which make these foods. First off the animals eat diets they are not suited to, rich in soy, wheat and corn that are made possible from the $40 billion in government subsidies used to keep meat and dairy production affordable.

The cows, chickens and pigs developed for thousands of years from eating diets that never included soy, wheat and dairy; so it should come as no surprise that when these animals are only fed these foods they become terribly unhealthy. The poor health of these farm animals is signified by the incredible amount of antibiotics that are used to keep them alive; over 50% of all antibiotics in the U.S are given to farm animals!

In addition to the incredible amount of prescription drugs used on farm animals is the actual hormones given to them in order to 'fatten' them up and make them bigger. Estrogen and estrogen-promoting hormones are given to the farm animals in significant amounts and they have been shown to pass into the human body upon consumption of dairy foods specifically, especially in cheese which is a super-concentrated form (20x) of dairy.

So, if you want nice doses of antibiotics and estrogen then consume meat and dairy in your regular diet. Humans have been eating animals for thousands of years, but we have never consumed this much and from animals living in large-scale farms that ate incompatible diets and used drugs and hormones to stay alive and get fat. Furthermore, dairy is a new thing to humans; after all our ancestors probably never sucked on a cow or goat's nipple.

Would you suck on the nipple of a cow or goat? Humans are the only species who consume the milk from another species; milk that is intended for baby cows and baby goats! We should be drink mother's milk until we are a few years old and our mother no longer produces it, then we stop and grow up; it's that simple.

The next time you make the choice of eating meat and/or dairy keep in mind there is nothing healthy about eating these types of food. You are eating these foods for taste or other seemingly egotistical reasons like promoting musculature (these large-molecule protein do promote muscle growth but at the cost of health!), alleviating stress or satisfying taste buds.

There are also plant foods rich in protein that can replace animal foods and also initiate protein synthesis in muscles to promote muscle building; and with significantly less stress than animal proteins. There are a lot of vegan protein muscle powders, made with brown rice concentrate, hemp seed concentrate, pea concentrate and a few more if you desire more protein. And if you desire milk, go ahead and try almond milk or coconut milk which are dense in 'good' fats and clearly a healthier alternative than cow milk.

There is no rational justification for eating meat and dairy; but when you do just be honest with yourself and do some of the things that can help your body cope with the stress and harm from their consumption. The first thing that can be done is to consume foods rich in antioxidants (like green plants or colorful fruits) or supplement with antioxidants like drink mixes, wheatgrass or some of the pill-forms of specific antioxidants. Next, you can supplement with fish oil or some form of Omega-3 fat in order to initiate anti-inflammation.

But most importantly you should keep the consumption of meat and dairy to special occasions and not make it a part of your regular life. And when you do, be happy and make it worthwhile but keep it in perspective. You can eat these types of foods when you you are at a nice restaurant or someone else prepares a meal for you; just don't make these foods a regular part of your life. You now know the dangers and the truth, you can begin reducing your consumption of these foods today and by doing this you will be empowering yourself and taking control of your health.

So you want to "detox"?

by Samuel J Suska

First thing we have to do is define "toxin", and follow that by forming a strategy that facilitates the elimination of toxins from our body. A "toxin" is any substance that lowers the pH of our internal body fluids or oxidizes our precious body tissues. Our body is around 70% water, which flows through our tissues in the blood and coats our many of our cells in something called extra-cellular fluid. Our blood is about 90% water and the extra-cellular fluid is nearly all water, therefore the quality of our body fluid (that is the level of "toxins" within this fluid) largely determines our health.

Our body fluids ultimately determine the cellular function and chemical reactions that take place in our body in order to give us energy, think clearly, move around and perform athletically. So, the first step of "detoxing" is to clean up our body fluids! The quality of our body fluids is of ultimate importance within our body, and this is why anything that directly lowers or leads to the lowering of our body fluids is considered a "toxin".

These "toxins" are substances that lower our body fluid pH and actually lead to the oxidation of our body tissues. You have likely heard of antioxidants; they are renowned for their health-promotion because they help balance the tissue damage from the substances that lower the pH of body fluids that flow through the tissues. So, we can see that "detoxing" involves foods and drinks densely packed with antioxidants, but we also have to get those built-up toxins out of your body!

So, a "detox" plan will involve replacing the present consumption of foods and liquids that tend to lower our body fluid pH and oxidize tissues with foods and drinks that increase the pH and antioxidize the tissues........all while promoting the elimination of built-up "toxins"!

"Detoxing" is really just the initial step to a healthier lifestyle which will improve your energy, quality of sleep, clearness of thoughts, ability to manage emotions and perform physically. This first step should never involve fasting or doing anything you don't have confidence in; you NEED a positive outlook and you also NEED food. These are things which have been shown to enable life (in the case of food) and prolong life (people w/ positivity have been shown in studies to live, on average, noticeably longer than "normal" people) so these characteristics have to be a part of your "detox" program.

Your personal "detox" program will involve eating foods, drinking liquids and using nutritional supplements that you are comfortable with and confident will help you reach your goal of "detox". By committing to a "detox" you are taking the first step in improving your health and this all starts with your "root system".

It is already clear that our health is largely determined by the quality of our body fluids; the blood flows through 66,000 miles of vessels to nourish the millions of tissues and trillions of cells while also stimulating the chemical reactions we think of as metabolism. The quality of the blood is of utmost importance, with the red blood cells being a vitally important blood characteristic; as they have the ability to help tissues re-generate (clean up oxidation!!) and even become nearly any type of cell the body needs.

Our blood, or more specifically our red blood cells can be made in a few different ways, first here are the ways that are not intended by the body; made by the bone marrow, the liver or by the body breaking down less important tissues (like muscles and joints). However, the blood is intended to be made by the small intestine from the liquefied, partially digested matter that entered our body as food and drink. Our small intestine has over 7,000 feet of surface area (made possible by little finger-like projections called micro-villi) within its 20-plus feet of length designed to absorb the nutrients, water and electrical energy potential from the foods and drinks we consume. The small intestine is similar to a plant in the soil with it's roots projecting out to absorb what it needs, this is what prompted microbiologist Dr. Robert Young to name this the digestive "root system".

The "root system" begins with the stomach which itself has the ability to absorb many substances (many of which lower our blood pH!!), water and electrical energy potential. Like plants, our ability to generate chemical reactions which gives us energy and the ability to prosper is heavily dependent upon what is absorbed by the "root system"; poor quality foods and drinks will damage the root system and lead to health issues within the body or mental disorders of the mind. So, "detoxing" starts with nourishing ourselves and taking proper care of our "root system", while also facilitating the elimination of "toxins" from our whole body.

Getting back to the "root system" which isn't the only thing we have similar to plants; so is our blood. The green substance chlorophyll, which is the well known blood of plants, is nearly identical (at the molecular level) to our own hemoglobin, which is the protein in red blood cells that transports the oxygen we need to maintain life and promote health. Chlorophyll can nourish our root system, build healthy red blood cells, promote oxygen movement in the whole body and even facilitate the elimination of built-up "toxins" in our colon and small intestine.

The best-selling author and world renowned microbiologist Dr. Robert Young has been helping thousands of people take control of their own health by instituting programs which enable patients to build their blood with dietary regimens based on green plants and supplementation with chlorophyll.

Dr. Young runs the pH miracle facility, which has helped thousands of people beat chronic diseases like diabetes, MS, some forms of cancer and many more by simply helping them "detox. He restores his patient's "root system", builds their blood, raises their fluid pH, gives them additional hydration all while eliminating the "toxins" from the body and supplying their tissues with antioxidants. Dr. Young's program always includes nourishing the root system with green vegetables which are dense in antioxidants, nutrients, electrical energy potential and chlorophyll.

The functional ability of the mind is also heavily dependent upon on the "root system" because the great majority of the brain neurotransmitter receptors located within the "root system". The neurotransmitters play a great role in mood, outlook and overall thought process which means just one deficiency can create or maintain an issue like stress, depression and/or anxiety, which are common in modern society.

Depression, anxiety and many serious disorders are heavily dependent on the functionality of the "root system" and how we nourish or damage the "vital root system". A damaged root system is a common underlying factor, and some may say cause, of virtually every chronic disease and mental disorder known to man.

The stomach can absorb electrical energy potential and pass it directly to the spleen; an important organ which helps form and build the electrical energy needed to operate the body. The "root system" plays a foundational role on determining the level of "toxins", overall blood quality and energy, which is why our food and drink choices are so monumental in our health and vitality.

In addition to fueling the 'energy' system, the digestive root system also absorb nutrients and build those all-important red blood cells in the crypts of the small intestine. Red blood cells can be the foundational cell, like a stem-cell for the entire body, meaning they have the ability to become virtually every type of cell and tissue in the human body.When the root system is operating efficiently in a state of alkaline pH and balanced 'energy' flow the small intestine has the ability to generate healthy red blood cells, which can then build all of the body cells and tissues.

However, when the desired pH of the small intestine (a high pH) is not maintained, the "root system" will not function as intended. The immediate results can be a high amount of circulating "toxins" and poor red blood cells without proper amounts of 'energy' and oxygen; but the long-term results are more serious as patterns can develop.

The "root system" can be damaged to the point where it cannot readily make the red blood cells, and the body goes into a state where it converts it's own tissues and cells back into red blood cells to maintain the needed requirement of approximately 30 trillion red blood cells at all times. This harmful body state coincides with a high level of "toxins", it is for the most part created by the high level of toxins.

There is a homeostatic mechanism designed by the body to maintain the red blood cell count; it is quite essential and influential to the health of the entire body. So why not prevent the body from breaking itself down in order to preserve the needed red blood cell count by feeding the root system alkaline pH foods dense with chlorophyll like green vegetables? At this point the "detox" program is really evolving into an initial step to a healthier lifestyle which has more profound effects than simply lowering the level of circulating "toxins" in your body fluid; this will help you build newer, better tissues and cells free of oxidation!!

The "root system" can perform it's vital tasks of feeding the neurotransmitters (for brain function), absorbing nutrients and electrical energy while building red blood cells, will function best when the pH stays high. Therefore our overall health and ability to prosper physically and mentally absolutely require a high pH with low levels of "toxins" and a properly functioning "root system". Our mind and spirit are operated by the brain and move within the blood and 'energy' systems.

Thankfully our body has the ability to adapt to the "toxins" from low quality foods and drinks, "toxins" which have a multitude of effects:lowering the fluid pH, decreasing red blood cell quality and eventually lead to health issues. We have an alkalizing buffering system to maintain the intended pH of the blood, all body fluids including the extracellular fluid(which surrounds the cells) and the root system as a whole.

Alkalinity is the higher end of the pH scale (from 7.1 to 14), while acidity is on the lower end of the pH scale (from 0.1 to 6.9), divided by neutral pH of 7. Interestingly enough is that the pH scale is logarithmic, meaning it grows exponentially wider as it changes; for example a pH of 6 (acidic) is 10 times more acidic than a pH of 7 (neutral), while a pH of 5 is 100 times more acidic than a pH of 7, meaning that a pH of 4, which is common for soda, vinegars, processed juices, OTC and prescription drugs is 1000 times more acidic than a neutral pH of 7.

This helps explains why seemingly minor, low-calorie drinks like diet soda's, coffee drinks and vinegar's with very low pH in the 3 to 5 range can be so incredibly damaging to many people; they are "toxins"!!! Simply choosing foods and drinks with higher pH will greatly support the intended state of the blood (an alkaline pH of 7.365) and build good red blood cells. But our body has the innate ability to withstand poor choices to varying degrees depending on the genetic, constitutional strength of the individual; and by "detoxing" you can truly improve yourself on so many levels and set yourself up for a long-term healthy lifestyle.

This alkalizing pH buffering system is the ultimate reason why some people can live reasonably healthy lives (meaning free of major disease, not necessarily vital or full of energy) while routinely insulting their root system with nutrition-less foods and drinks. But if one continues to insult their root system for too long, they will develop mind and body issues if they haven't yet.

All it takes some sort of a commitment to nourishing your "root system" and facilitating elimination of built-up "toxins" and the results will be felt within your body and your mind. Digestion and elimination will, in time, regulate and even the perceived stress affecting your mind will decrease and reach levels you are better equipped to handle.

The commitment can begin with supplementation of some baking soda, which funds the processes in our body that seek to balance the "toxins". This can also be assisted by supplementation with aloe vera, which is quite soothing and nourishing to the 7,000 feet of surface area in your small intestine. The aloe vera can get the small intestine tissues and cells to start working better, improve digestion and absorb 'energy' and nutrients at a heightened rate. Using additional fiber will also help facilitate the elimination of built-up "toxins" in the colon.

While using these powerful, nourishing supplements you must also replace some of the low-quality foods you regularly eat now with more green fresh foods, green cooked foods and vegetables in general. Cooked green vegetables are much easier to digest than un-cooked veggies, so please include these regularly and especially at the evening time. You can also use herbs that have been shown to significantly help the root system, like garlic, ginger, cinnamon and cilantro. The herbs can also be taken in tea form; don't be scared to boil some water and use a ginger or cinnamon tea.

Also keep the meals smaller and more consistent; like every few hours. It is much better to supply your "root system" with 5 small, nutritious meals than 2 or 3 big meals. The first step is ready to be taken whenever you are ready for it, please do not put pressure on yourself, be patient and do things as you feel comfortable. This is a fundamental life change, not a fad diet.

Finally, you can also exercise to create and maintain a good sweat for at least a half hour. Heck, you should sit in a sauna for a half hour or so to facilitate the elimination of built-up "toxins" through the skin. There are also some more involved techniques like netti pot's, more extreme supplements, wet socks, Sea Salt drinks and many more.

Hydration is also a key here! Hydrate yourself with unprecedented amounts of water on a daily basis. I'm talking about more than 1 gallon! Ya, that may sound crazy and at first, and you will be peeing way too much, but within a few days your body will regulate and you will begin reaching levels of health and "detox" you desire. Don't forget to use Sea Salt on your green vegetables to help balance your body that's now starting to receive more water than ever before.

You will be instituting a new way of approaching life which will be shown and expressed by how you eat and what you eat and how you handle stress. There is no perfect, one-size-fits-all approach, each and every one of us will use an individualized program to optimize our health and find ultimate happiness!

Whenever you are ready to take a small initial step please let me know and I will show you the proper care and attention with my guidance. Have a great life path and thanks for reading my somewhat organized thoughts.
