A new model of health

Mainstream or allopathic medicine rarely "cures" degenerative diseases.

If you doubt this statement, just look at the "cure" statistics. I use the word "cure" very deliberately as it is a word rarely used by modern medicine any more. Instead, the symptoms of the disease are "managed" by a lifetime on drugs.

My own approach to health and healing has evolved from a lifetime of personal research, but perhaps the most important influence has been the theories of Hulda Clark. You can read these in her most famous book, The Cure for all Diseases, available as a free download. My model is a variation of the Hulda Clark model of health.

The story goes like this.

The toxins

We are living in a highly polluted, highly toxic world that is getting more toxic by the day. Chemicals and heavy metals are entering our systems at ever increasing rates from toxic air and chemicals added to our water and food. They are changing the micro-climate inside our bodies. This changed micro-climate in turn provides perfect conditions for parasites to get out of control.

The parasites

Parasites are any living thing that exploits rather than serves our bodies. The term includes viruses, bacteria, fungi and various types of worms. These all breed and multiply when our systems provide conditions they like and lack the defences to control them.

Our body's response - a disease

Then along come the diseases from which we each variously suffer. The disease is simply how our individual body tries to cope with the invasion of parasites. One body might get fibromyalgia, another cancer, another arthritis, in response to the same parasitic invasion. Each of these diseases is our friend - our body's attempt to slow and maybe even stop the parasitic invasion.

The two steps to curing disease

In many cases, we can ignore the actual disease and focus first on reducing our colony of parasites. Once we have reduced the parasites and stepped back from immediate danger, we then need to detox the chemical or heavy metal contaminants that have enabled the parasites to get out of control in the first place. We must have a two pronged approach:

• reduce parasites then
• detox the chemicals and heavy metals that create the climate they love.

Is diagnosis important?

Allopathic medicine does give us some capacity to diagnose disease. However, disease is merely the symptom of our response to parasites. Allopathic medicine rarely helps us identify which parasite is behind the disease. In a few cases, such as hepatitis and H.Pylori, it does identify the parasite. In these cases, we can target the parasite with an appropriate treatment. But these are the exception rather than the norm. For most degenerative diseases medical diagnosis does not help us identify the parasite.

Can medical treatment help?

Some allopathic treatments DO kill some parasites: chemotherapy, radio therapy and antibiotics all kill some parasites, but they are so highly toxic in their own right that they add to the toxic overload problem we are already suffering. They provide an even better micro-climate for the next round of parasites to get out of control, so they only ever afford us temporary relief from our problem. Many drugs do not even do that. Many simply keep us alive artificially by dissolving cholesterol, widening the arteries and the like, whilst having no impact whatsoever on the parasites or toxins that are causing the problem. Medical treatments can be useful to get us back from the brink if our situation is dangerous or critical, but they rarely cure us of anything.

Step 1 - Using plant foods to kill parasites

Our other option is to use the phytochemicals in food to target the specific parasites. Phytochemicals in food kill parasites without further adding to our toxic overload problem. In some cases those phytochemicals can also help us detoxify very serious toxins as well, something that chemotherapy and radiotherapy cannot ever do. (For more on the power of foods, see Let food be thy medicine.)

However, using food to target parasites can be a bit hit and miss, particularly if we don't know which parasite we are targeting. Apricot kernels are reputed to cure 33% of people who have been sent home to die with untreatable cancer. You can read more about apricot kernels in World without Cancer by Edward G Griffin, also available as a free download.

A 33% cure rate is pretty good for terminal patients, but what about the other 66%?

Apricot kernels have a high success rate because the anthocyanins in them are able to kill a wide range of parasites, but they are not able to kill all parasites. This is true of all the foods that have been shown to be successful for some cancers. Their phytochemicals kill some but not all parasites.

So where does this leave us? If we can identify the parasite we can target it with a particular plant food containing the necessary phytochemicals. If we cannot identify the parasite, we must take a broad brush approach. We must consume the widest possible range of foods naturally high in parasite-killing phytochemicals so that we can see which work for our unique set of circumstances.

We eat apricot kernels and the widest possible range of "purple" foods to get the anthocyanins, we eat beetroot for the liver, we consume olive leaf, and pomegranate, we drink paw paw and green tea and the list goes on. There is a very long list of very tasty foods that have been shown to turn many diseases around and return the body to health. One or more of these WILL reduce our colony of parasites down to temporarily manageable levels. That's the easy bit. It just takes a bit of application to find out which foods make us feel better (or trigger the biggest healing reactions).

Step 2 - Using plant foods to detox

The hard bit comes next. We have reduced our disease symptoms to manageable levels or removed them altogether, by eating fabulous, strongly flavoured foods. Now how do we detoxify our systems and restore a healthy micro-climate so those pesky little critters cannot get out of control again?

Not all diseases fit the model above. Some diseases, particularly the brain diseases like MS and Alzheimer's are probably the direct result of the toxin itself rather than of a parasite. These people need to start where others finish. Detox, detox, detox.

There are also foods that help us do detox. Turmeric, sunflower seeds, beetroot, coriander, garlic and many others are useful in two ways. They have high levels of parasite killing phytochemicals and they also have lots of phytochemicals that combine with heavy metals and petrochemicals, render them harmless and take them safely out of our systems. They help us both kill parasites and detoxify.

...and the importance of water

This is where water starts to become very important, but not just any water. Healing springs were traditionally healing springs for good reason, and that reason is not some kind of invisible magic. The various minerals in spring water also combine with toxic chemicals and heavy metals and render them inert so that we can flush them away safely.

Silica, one of the most common elements on earth, combines with a huge range of dangerous toxins and takes them safely out of our systems. Mineral waters are not a foolish luxury. In this day and age of seriously high levels of toxic exposure, mineral waters that are genuinely high in a wide range of minerals are critical to maintaining our health.
