  14. Summary
Outstanding Health guidance (from the Bible Daniel Chapter 1 ) Daniel then said to the guard v12 “Please test your servants for ten days: Give us nothing but vegetables to eat and water to drink.v13 Then compare our appearance with that of the young men who eat the royal food, and treat your servants in accordance with what you see.”v14. So he agreed to this and tested them for ten days. v15 At the end of the ten days they looked healthier and better nourished than any of the young men who ate the royal food. Arthur Dilley (A. M. Inst. S. A. Ass. Food Science & Technology)  Let food be your medicine, and medicine be your food– Hypocrates father of medicine  

Note 1 IF YOU ARE ON CHRONIC MEDICATION FOR ANY DISEASE

Please consult your doctor or health practitioner (to avoid any negative effects when embarking on a health regime) 

Note 2 PERSONAL HYGIENE IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT,

Washing of hands before preparing food or eating, after coming from the toilet,washing all raw food etc Keep all surfaces clean of bacteria etc by using kitchen, bathroom anti bacterial cleansers

REMEMBER–PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE. 

CORONA VIRUS IS JUST ANOTHER WAY AMONGST MANY THAT OUR IMMUNE SYSTEM CAN BE COMPROMISED. At all times we must be on our guard against infection FROM ANY SOURCE. THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION WILL GO A LONG WAY TO ASSIST IN THIS REGARD. For quick overview-see Summary at the end

UNDERSTANDING HOW THE BODY HEALS ITSELF (A brief description)

THIS WONDERFUL, INCREDIBLE BODY OF OURS-consists of 65 trillion cells in a person of average weight.

Each cell has a protective membrane, and a nucleus containing the DNA program for life from birth to death; The DNA Program controls thousands of processes for building, function, structure, repair, waste material etc IMMUNE SYSTEM–   It is generally accepted  in most health and nutrition  books and magazines that 70 % of our immune system is concentrated in the digestive tract such as essential bacteria to counter pathogens ingested by the mouth. These bacteria live in harmony with our body functions, and are the main agents that absorb and digest our food. If they are too little or missing, there is nothing to counteract poisonous and dangerous bacteria that come through the mouth. (at any one time their weight in the stomach is estimated to be around 1,5 Kg.-Probiotics are used to supplement and grow healthy bacteria to counteract specific harmful bacteria; a 9 strain supplement is to be recommended) THE CELL MEMBRANE– is the MASTER controller of our IMMUNE SYSTEM–what goes in, and what goes out. It has millions of receptors, all of which will decide what nutrient to absorb from the blood stream, and what waste material to expel into the waste, or lymph system, keeping a constant balance called homeostasis. The Cell membrane is made up of 2 layers, one of oil and the other water, which are not supposed to mix; this in itself seems impossible. The oily layer needs Omega 3 fats, or oils to stay in a healthy state, and some cannot be manufactured by the body-so supplementation is vital-see Nutritional healing chapter (For more details refer to my book entitled The “Ultimate Healing Handbook”, As time permits, I will include more information on this site.(For any questions please submit in the comments box elsewhere on this site)

Nutritional Healing

(From the Ultimate Super-Natural Healing Book by Arthur Dilley You are not only what you eat and drink, but what you digest and absorb-Ignorance is bliss, or is it? IGNORANCE IS BLISS-OR IS IT? In 1970 I became so ill from overwork, stress and ignorant of poor dietary habits, that I collapsed on the floor; I was advised to go to a health Hydro, the best advice I ever received. What followed was 10 days of fasting on a glass of weak warm lemon juice and an apple a day chewed slowly over 20 mins- By the 3rd day I was sure I would die, as my system started to detoxify itself and get rid of impurities and junk food that I had been eating. (Basically fasting from junk food) We also attended daily talks by Dr Chaitowitz wrt nutrition, who showed me a totally different way of eating and living, that we are all so ignorant of what our bodies REALLY need, and that we cause great damage to ourselves through ignorance and lack of discipline.

CURED OF CANCER BY CHANGING DIET

(See Cancer Healing Chapter 16 )  I met a woman who had been cured of cancer just by changing her diet and lifestyle, and been coming regularly for 20 years thereafter to rejuvenate her system. When I left, I felt, and smelt like a new born baby– why 10 days? Look in the bible at the book of Daniel- in 10 days of only eating vegetables he was the best in every sphere of the human condition. These last 45 or more years have seen me lapse at times and suffer from all sorts of ailments, such as arthritis, Gout, Gall stones and more; fortunately I now had the necessary information as to how to overcome AND prevent it. The following information should see you clear within 10 days if you follow it strictly, and also understand how this wonderful, incredible body of ours functions and its laws.

What’s so great about eating raw foods and natural substances?

 In the 1st Chapter (The Ultimate Healing Handbook) on understanding the body how the body works, we see that we are comprised of approximately 65 Trillion cells-Each cell has specific requirements insofar as building blocks are concerned eg Eye cells need Vitamin A and much more;  Bones require Calcium, Magnesium, Vita. D, Boron, copper etc. In order to absorb these nutrients that are carried in the blood stream, after food being digested, the cells have receptors that are structured in such a way that they will only allow those nutrients in that exactly match what is needed; furthermore, these nutrients are as found in nature which only these will be allowed entry by the onboard computer.

Refined foods have their structures altered, so cannot be allowed entry into cells.

Foods that have been subjected to excessive heat, or chemical change etc for example baked, grilled meat, spaghetti, pizzas,are not recognised by the receptor antennae on the cells, and are  rejected because of this; additionally, foods heated above 75 Deg Celsius have their digestive enzymes destroyed-these are necessary for the digestion of the specific food or substance. Diabetes is a result of having too much of refined Carbohydrates. The result is the Pancreas is overloaded by having to manufacture these digestive enzymes-Continuous ingestion of refined, or damaged foods, will eventually overload and deplete digestive organs, and their associated subsystems; this results in the fact that by age 60, the Pancreas manufacturing capability is only about 20% that of a young person aged 20-30, and food will largely go through undigested, causing problems further down in the intestine and bowel-and obviously in the end will cause disease due to deficiency of needed nutritional building blocks, such as mineral, trace elements, Vitamins Proteins and the like.

Drinking habits can also contribute to disease eventually

When we drink liquids with foods, we dilute the stomach juices which are very acidic, and reduce the ability of the stomach acid to digest protein and other elements causing sickness and disease ultimately.

Drinking of liquids

Carbonated drinks- with excess amounts of sugar such as Coke etc cause cancer (which feed on sugar), arthritis due to excess acidity, as well as diabetes, due to cellular overload of sugar, where the cells close down their receptors causing the excess sugar to circulate in the body, and simultaneously upsetting the blood sugar balance.

Coffee (and tea)-  Coffee is a PURINE ALKALOID

Purines cause URIC acid, commonly known in gout, arthritis, etc. The Alkaloid part is like a narcotic which is habit forming and has many side effects which at first can be unnoticeable Caffeine speeds up heart rate and gives a temporary sense of awakening, because it is kick starting the Adrenal glands, that send messages to the brain as part of the fight or flight syndrome. I have personally experienced over many years now the terrible side effects of too much caffeine,  which is much like an allergic reaction. I could never understand why on my travels I would get blinding headaches, having mood swings with memory lapses and total lack of motivation. When I traced it to my coffee consumption I at last was able to exert control over my life; so I made up little acronyms to remind myself to be careful, and what would happen if I am not. This together with a huge amount of research and reading various experts on nutrition like Patrick Holford’s optimum nutrition bible. A. 3 M’s which are memory, mood and motivation are affected. B.- HIV- which stand for headaches, Insomnia and Vision or eyesight are affected. When I stopped drinking coffee, my eyesight returned to the same level as when I was younger. I used to suffer terribly with severe headaches, lack of motivation, lack of concentration and mood often. C. GGP- which stands for Gout and Gallstones and prostrate are also generated by this acidic drink which together with sugar and milk have other side effects. Prostate cancer has also been found in heavy coffee drinkers and a link was established-this can be found in the book I am Joe’s body published by Readers Digest. Tea has about 25% Caffeine and if drunk in sufficient quantities, has similar effects. It is also an acid medium, which like Purine, has an effect on cells throughout the body and compromises the function of cells in every area. Tea contains Tannin, which as every shoe maker knows, cures leather shoes and dries up the protein in the leather. Because it is a well known fact that our stomach acid secretions reduce with age, I have come to the conclusion that it may not necessarily be an ageing factor, but an abuse of the body in some way. Tea (and coffee lately) has always been a social habit when visiting or travelling, and here again over a lifetime of heavy tea drinking I am convinced that the reduction in acid secretion may be as a result of the tannin in the tea ‘curing’ the cells in the wall of the stomach, affecting its operation-this esp when it is drunk piping hot, so adds to the effect by scalding the skin walls of the stomach. Much like an alcoholic who consistently drinks alcohol, over time the liver is affected and eventually it can no longer function as it is supposed to do. The we result is not digesting our food properly with many varying consequences throut the body. Milk and sugar-Milk has been scientifically shown to have at least 23 different substances that are hostile to the human system, because a cow is a much larger animal and its hormones and other chemicals are harmful to the human body. Just one major side effect is to cause breast cancer in women, and prostate cancer in men. In closing about liquids, we must be mindful of what we put in our body-it has a tolerance level, but we must be careful not to over step the mark. We can certainly sip liquids between meals but we must learn to listen to our body which gives us warning by producing a variety of symptoms.

Eating habits do the same

When we fail to chew our foods properly, the alkaline enzymes that are produced by the salivary glands are unable to mix properly with the food which is supposed to be pre digested by the 6 salivary glands in the mouth; in other words, food digestion actually starts in the mouth. When we mix different categories of foods at the same time, the taste buds that sense the chemical nature of what is in the mouth in order to trigger the required stomach acid and pancreatic enzymes are unable to do a proper job. Various symptoms can arise such as bloating, gas, discomfort and so on. These are just some examples of dietary habits that eventually cause sickness and disease.

Poor choice of foods deplete the nutrients stores in the body

If we fail to establish a healthy lifestyle and proper quality eating regime, the body is unable to function at it optimum level-the immune system is compromised in 1 or more of the 11 systems and sub systems; without the correct amounts of quality minerals, trace elements and vitamins, it is just a matter of time until the immune system is weakened to a point where it cannot defend itself against any invading harmful bacteria etc.

The following pages will assist you to re-establish optimum health

The necessary nutrients needed by the immune system amongst others will assist the body to heal itself, irrespective of what sickness or disease prevails, possibly in conjunction with spiritual or emotional healing techniques mentioned elsewhere; this assumes a functioning digestive system is established.

2 LAWS OF LIFE

  1. DO NOT DO THINGS THAT HARM YOU-

Find out what not to eat, and what poor dietary habits you have acquired

  1. DO THINGS THAT BENEFIT YOU

Find out what the most beneficial foods are, and which is the best lifestyle to practice

WHAT TO DO WHEN DISEASE AND ILLNESS COMES ON YOU

STAGE 1

Removal of all toxins; de-acidify your body

  • Clean your system out – take a laxative
  • Take a quality detox course such Good Health Body 7 day detox
  • Drink only clean filtered water 8 glasses per day with added lemon. Ginger and Garlic
  • Alkalise your immune system and entire body-bacteria need an acidic medium to thrive using the information that follows.
  • Fast immediately from all refined foods and acidic drinks such as tea, coffee, alcohol etc
  • I highly recommend a personal friend and Natural doctor Charl Du Randt, who has helped many thousands of patients at his wellness clinic using his own formulated Metabole products, in conjuction with various scientific instruments for blood analysis and body symptoms.

STAGE 2

Replenish and cleanse cells; re-alkanise your body

  • Eat only fresh, quality raw vegetables for minerals, trace elements and nutrients
  • Chew all foods until they are a pulp in the mouth before swallowing to ensure predigestion
  • Drink at least 8 glasses of filtered water daily-the blood is 75% water, and used for transporting
  • Eat alkaline fruits such as pawpaw, pears, grapes, guavas etc-this will cleanse and revitalise the body with vitamins

STAGE 3

Restore and maintain good health

  • Change your lifestyle –starting with the correct eating habits and foods
  • Take care of your body, it’s the only one you have!
  • Your body needs other things as well-exercise, relaxation, rest, enough quality sleep etc.
  • There is another aspect to consider, that of spirit within, which needs to be purified as well.
  • This has been dealt with elsewhere in chapter 14.
 

Below is the Good Health 7 day detox listing all herbs and their functions on different body systems

Law 1-DO NOT

Things to avoid until improvement and proper health is established

Must not have (acid forming)-10 days, thereafter limit intake

A. Wheat in any shape or form e.g. bread, cakes, biscuits – (Refined Carbohydrates)

Contains Gluten, Phytates, Allergens etc which prevent uptake of minerals Calcium, Zinc etc in the gut; and cause hay fever, asthma and other allergenic issues etc

B. Milk and ALL dairy products (fats that are unhealthy for human consumption)

These are mucous forming; and new scientific discoveries have identified 23 elements in cow’s milk that are detrimental to human health; In her book Prostrate cancer by Jane Platt Ph.D, she goes further, and identifies  substances that cause breast cancer in women, and breast cancer in men, such as growth hormone incompatibility- hydrogenated fats also block arteries

C. Animal meat and all its variants esp. smoked meats (Proteins that are harmful)

Animal meats contain substances harmful to man-it has been firmly established to eventually cause cancer amongst other symptoms; harmful cholesterol of a destructive fatty type will cause heart damage, blocked arteries in all organs, esp. in the very small capillary system, lungs etc. Meats that are smoked have been found to contain carcinogens that are cancer forming

D. Sugar and all products containing sugar (Carbohydrates that are unhealthy for human consumption)

There are a vast number of products containing large amounts of sugar, such as in cookies, coke, breakfast cereals, chocolates etc-one effect is to deplete the calcium store in bones because of the high acidity, which needs an alkaline substance to neutralise it in the body-calcium is the most alkaline substance, and is removed from bones wherever they are. in order to restore Ph balance; the result? Osteoporosis, brittle bones etc

E. Condiments that are acid containing

Vinegar, mayonnaise, chutney etc here the reduction in alkalinity inhibits cellular function.

F. Liquids and drinks

Coffee, tea, alcohol, carbonated fizzy drinks, etc; these depletes adrenal glands, liver functions

LAW NO 2 -DO   (Just DO it!-See suggested lifestyle at the end)

THE BEST WAY TO CARE FOR OUR BODIES

A. LIQUIDS, JUICES, HERBAL TEAS ETC

Water – 8 glasses daily boiled or filtered water (80% diseases from water impurities- world Health Authority)

 

B. VEGETABLE JUICES

Carrot juice blended with Celery, Cucumber, Pine apple, Apple, Ginger, Garlic Baby Spinach, Lemon, Ginger, Beetroot blended with filtered water if possible Herbal teas such as lemon water with Ginger, Turmeric, Garlic, Lemon juice Herbal teas in tea bag form

 

C. FRUITS- (Vitamins)

GRAPES are an excellent cleansing mechanism containing necessary elements for vital health-alkaline forming-(provides correct PH balance) Pawpaw, grapes, pears, etc (eating grapes alone can cure cancer over time; this is well documented, as are other mono diets eg beetroot )

 

D. MINERALS and essential oils in seed form

SEEDS such as Pumpkin, Sunflower, Sesame, Flax etc

 E. VEGETABLES-(Minerals)

Most beneficial vegetables in order-Spinach, Hubbard Squash, Sweet potato Green vegetables either raw or steamed- green such as broccoli, Green beans, The most beneficial vegetables in order are Spinach, Hubbard squash, sweet potato; then other greens such as green beans, broccoli, cabbage, lettuce and all dark green leafy vegetables that contain energy from the sun. These carbohydrates are essential, for example, 40% of our carbohydrate intake is used solely for brain function The term Carbohydrate refers to Carbon and Hydrogen that comes from the soil, and the sun processes, within vegetables that provide energy amongst others.

F. SALADS

Vegetables that are raw (healthy complex carbohydrates)-in fact all veg can be eaten raw Here again, baby spinach, hubbard squash, celery, green beans, tomato, cucumber, carrots etc. with a little extra virgin olive oil for dressing.

G. PROTEINS

Essential  beneficial building blocks for all cells containing natural amino acids Protein rich foods esp. Nuts, Seeds, Avocado, Quinoa, Soya etc are the most beneficial source of proteins There is scientific evidence to show that ingesting nut and non animal proteins will ensure immunity from cancer; however, on a animal protein diet the chances of cancer are multiplied many times             Animal protein such as found in Fish esp. Tuna, Mackerel etc contain highly beneficial Omega 3 Fatty acids that are extremely important for cellular function in the brain and all other cellular systems When normal health is restored, skinless chicken, very lean meat is acceptable- a typical ratio on a weekly basis would be Fish -4 days; Chicken-2 days; Red lean meat -1 day

H ESSENTIAL SUPPLEMENTS

  1. Essential Fatty Acids-omega3 salmon oil; 1000mg X4 (480 EPA 480 Dha, 300)
  2. Essential Vitamins-Vit. C 2000 mg; (cell protection)
  3. Vitamin A 10 000 units Nutriforce for skin, eyesight etc
  4. Vitamin E 400 units Bettaway Meg E Skin and much more
  5. Complete B complex-strong, for brain food and all nerve functions throughout the body.
  6. Plant based natural Multivitamin and mineral complex-(synthetic vitamins not absorbed)
  7. Essential minerals- Calcium, Magnesium (bones, muscles) 1500 mg daily at night- Calmag from Diskem is highly recommended.
  8. Essential digestion co-factors-digestive enzymes,
  9. Zinc and selenium (50mg),
  10. Devils claw and celery for promoting stomach acid secretion
  11. Probiotics 9 strain to supplement pancreas for digestion and max absorption in small intestine.
  12. Metabole products By Dr Charl Durandt are highly recommended which I use regularly

I. RULES FOR TAKING ABOVE

Vitamins, fruits -mornings with food- provides energy Minerals, veggies-afternoon, evening- provides cellular building block repairs Note-the body rebuilds and restores itself at night when sleeping!! When eating carbohydrates, sweet fruits etc- balance with protein nuts, seeds

J. THE ULTIMATE AIM FOOD WISE

Raw foods-veggies, salads, fruits- 75-80 % Cooked food– brown rice and butter lentils, potato, beetroot, etc 15 % Protein– fish 3-4 x per week, chicken 2x per week, very lean meat 1x per week; nuts, seeds, berries daily Protein should be the last thing eaten on the plate– carbohydrates digested quickly, protein several hrs Anything else-in moderation from the list of must not haves, otherwise the problem RE- OCCURS

BASIC RULES TO RESTORE YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM

Drink only clean filtered water 8 glasses per day-possibly one every hour. Alkalise your immune system and entire body-bacteria need an acidic medium to thrive. Fast immediately from all refined foods and acidic drinks such as tea, coffee,  alcohol etc

Replenish and cleanse cells; re-alkanise your body

Eat only fresh, quality raw vegetables (or lightly steamed/ cooked) for minerals, trace elements and nutrients Chew all foods until they are a pulp in the mouth before swallowing to ensure predigestion Drink at least 8-10 glasses of filtered or boiled water daily-the blood is 75% water, and used for transport nutrients. Eat alkaline fruits such as pawpaw, pears, grapes, guavas etc-this will cleanse and revitalise the body with vitamins-AT LEAST 4 DAILY

Restore and maintain good health

Change your lifestyle –starting with the correct eating habits and foods ENERGY-this comes from the sun and is stored in natural raw plants such as fruit and vegetables-concentrate on raw, semi raw and steamed foods. Take care of your body, it’s the only one you have! Your body needs other things as well-exercise, relaxation, rest, enough quality sleep etc. There is another aspect to consider, that of spirit within, which needs to be purified as well. This has been dealt with elsewhere. Animal protein such as found in Fish esp. Tuna, Mackerel etc contain highly beneficial Omega 3 Fatty acids that are extremely important for cellular function in the brain and all other cellular systems

When normal health is restored,

Skinless chicken, very lean meat is acceptable- a typical ratio on a weekly basis would be Fish -4 days; Chicken-2 days; Red lean meat -1 day

What else is NECESSARY?

ESSENTIAL SUPPLEMENTS

Essential Fatty Acids–omega3 salmon oil; 1000mg X4 – or 2 capsules per meal 

Essential Vitamins-Vit. C 1000mg; (cell protection); B complex-strong, for brain food

Good Multivitamin and mineral complex-must be plant based (synthetic vitamins not absorbed) such as supplied by Good Health products, a New Zealand based company registered as a Good Manufacturing Company, together with relevant Nappi codes. ( I will later provide information as to a list of their products for various conditions) Essential minerals– Calcium, Magnesium (bones, muscles) 1500 mg daily at night- Calmag from Diskem are good-add also a zinc supplement for nail and hair conditions) Essential digestion co-factors-digestive enzymes,also Zinc and selenium (50mg), devils claw, Probiotics 9 strain for healthy gut bacteria-(70% of our immune system comes from the gut!!)

Rules for taking above

(please note-this information will not always apply to everyone, due to genetic and other differences)

Vitamins, fruits -mornings with food- provides energy Minerals, veggies-afternoon, evening- provides cellular building block repairs Note-the body rebuilds and restores itself at night when sleeping!! When eating carbohydrates, sweet fruits etc- balance with protein nuts, seeds

The ultimate aim (food wise) as follows

Raw foods-veggies, salads, fruits- 75-80 % Cooked food- brown rice and butter lentils, potato, beetroot, etc 15% Protein- fish 3-4 x per week, chicken 2xper week, very lean meat 1x per week; nuts, seeds, berries daily Protein should be the last thing eaten on the plate- carbohydrates digested quickly, protein several hrs Anything else-in moderation from the list of must not haves, otherwise the problem RE- OCCURS I know, and have experienced many times beyond a shadow of doubt that the above, together with healing prayer will bring radical change, and maintain a healthy system.

A CHART OF THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HEALTH AND DISEASE

This information has taken many years to compile- as a Food science engineer, nutritionist among other things, I find it helpful to realise that as we get older, our source of vital hormones, enzymes etc gets less and less-so use this information to counteract effects of ageing.

For example-Decline from age 20 onwards–

Age 40–only 30%  left in all major processes– Age 50 only 20% left; Age 60 only 15% left-this for the general populace. However, with care and attention, this decline in the ageing process can be slowed down!!

QUALITY OF FOOD PRODUCED TODAY HAS DETERIORATED

SOIL AND SEEDS 30% LOSS

  1. Fertilisers for Plants such as vegetables and all things that grow in the soil start off life as a seed. In order to boost production various genetically modified fertilisers and pest control are used such as roundup that contains weed killer erc, and is absorbed by the plant
  2. Seeds are genetically modified to also boost production and make them resistant to insects eg wheat, maize corn etc
  3. Soils are often chemically depleted due to over farming, and so various minerals that should be available in the plants for our health are missing
  4. Insecticide sprays are used on the leaves of plants for control of insects, which are absorbed by the plant and are not good for our health
  5. Fruits etc are picked raw and unable to complete the process of ripening on the stem, and unable to draw nutrients up until the time of ripening, reducing its quality for human consumption

TRANSPORT OF FOODS 10% LOSS

  1. Frozen foods-here again, foods are subjected to unnatural processes, and transported over long distances
  2. In the delivery chain the food is often contaminated by falling on the ground in warehouses and supermarkets, and subjected to germs from handling
  3. They are often sprayed with various chemicals to ripen quickly, such as bananas paw paws
  4. Plastic wrapping can contain carcinogens that penetrate the food.

PREPARATION OF FOOD 20% LOSS

  1. Raw foods are often not washed, to remove any pesticide, germs from handling, lying on the floor etc
  2. Foods are generally cooked or boiled on a stove and after a while all the digestive enzymes are destroyed, resulting in overload for the pancreas which ultimately will deteriorate. It is far better to steam foods or have them raw
  3. Cooking utensils such as aluminum give off metals that are absorbed in the gut and cause problems in the body

DIGESTION OF FOODS 30% LOSS

  1. Mouth- by not chewing foods properly we lose some benefit
  2. Stomach-Acidity affected by age and wrong food combinations
  3. Pancreas-insufficient enzymes to do the job as mentioned
  4. Small intestines-excess pathogens and bad bacteria, worms etc
  5. Lack of beneficial gut bacteria

LIQUIDS

  1. It is important to realise that our blood consists mainly of water 75%, and that the water should be the best quality available-if none available, then a filter of some sort should be used for tap water for drinking
  2. Timing-drinking liquids while eating foods is not correct, as it dilutes the stomach acids, causing indigestion and consequent bowel problems, Avoid drinking any carbonated drinks (see rules elsewhere)
  3. Remember liquids are not only essential for blood consistency, but also prevent bulking up of stodgy foods in our gut, as a transport medium.

DIGESTIVE ISSUES

Small intestine

Leaky gut syndrome caused by specific bacteria puncturing the gut wall, causing it to leak digested food into the blood stream. This leads to autoimmune diseases as the undigested food now enters the blood stream directly.

Liver and other organs

  1. Liver encrustation-the liver has many functions, one of which is to filter the blood.
  2. Gallstone formation due to purines or uric acid formation from acidic foods
  3. Adrenal glands exhausted which engages the parasympathetic system which stops all building of new cells in the body
  4. Kidney stones with function compromised, affecting our water retention and filtration.
  5. Thyroid malfunction-the thyroid is the master controller of energy and temperature generation.
  6. Spleen problems which store T cells and immune fighters
  7. Red blood cells clumping together and other problems, corrupting nutrient supply.
  8. Excess ph or acidic conditions and so on which prevent cells from functioning.

Health is the greatest asset we have

The above is to demonstrate what will affect our health, or lack of health. It is therefore important to be aware of what we put into our mouths at all times; by doing so we can ensure a better quality of life even in our old age. Just exercising some basic discipline and choosing to care for the body in the best way possible will ensure that we live a healthy and happy life, especially in the area of what we put into our body.

IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT YOUR DIGESTIVE SYSTEM

Please refer to drawing chart of what makes us sick and what is disease

The digestive system starts in the mouth and proceeds down the enclosed pipe we call the colon as follows–

The Mouth, incorporating teeth, tongue, salivary glands etc
  1. The Mouth-The salivary system, which pre digests food in the mouth-when we chew, it causes secretion via 6 salivary glands of amylase, an enzyme for digesting Carbohydrates, under the tongue and on the sides
  2. The saliva  is an alkaline secretion which will only predigest food if properly chewed into a mulch, thus assisting the digestive process before it reaches the stomach, and is exposed to a highly acidic medium for further digestion-Chew food a minimum of 20-40 times before taking another mouthful.
  3. This alkaline secretion is manufactured by the liver, and if the liver is under threat or not healthy, then the effectiveness of the enzymes is reduced; this is why doctors examine the tongue in times of sickness, to see if the liver is healthy, which should be a natural pink colour, and not coated white etc
  4. The Tongue-tastes what the food is and sends signals to the stomach, pancreas and other organs to give advance warning of what type of food is coming

The stomach

The highly acidic medium has a pH of around 3, and is extremely corrosive There are microscopic villi which secrete hydrochloric acid and this is where protein digestion begins.

The Pancreas

The Pancreas secretes approximately 15 digestive enzymes, some of which are Protease for protein, Amylase for Carbohydrates and Lipase for fats etc.

Digestive Enzymes (Raw foods)

Raw foods contain their own digestive enzymes, and the Pancreas does not have much to do, provided the food is predigested by chewing well and mixed with Amylase.

Digestive enzymes (cooked foods)

Here the problem is that when foods are cooked for a long period of time, all enzymes are destroyed by heat above 70 degrees C. Now the Pancreas has to work overtime to analyse the food and decide what enzymes to produce in order that the foods may digest in the small Intestine. When one gets older, the supply of enzymes diminishes to such an extent that we only have about 20% the original supply when past age 60. In this case digestive enzymes may be taken, and there are many different types on the market.

The small Intestine

This is where the foods are finally broken down by Gut Bacteria-there are many billions residing in the Gut, and the average weight is around 1,5kg. They absorb and break down the food into microscopic particle which allow them to pass through the Intestine wall into the blood plasma for distribution

Gut Bacteria

The main problem in this area lies in the fact that our gut bacteria are often compromised by the presence of harmful bacteria-the gut bacteria should be healthy enough to combat and break down the harmful bacteria should as Helibacter Pylori, which cause ulcers; there are many other types, and through eating a wrong combination of foods, esp. red meat and chicken with growth hormones etc they easily multiply and get out of control, even causing auto Immune diseases.

Probiotics

These are the good bacteria, and should be supplemented at times of digestive distress and stomach problems. I recommend taking at least a 9 strain probiotic, to cover a wider field of bad bacteria. It has been established in recent years that some auto immune diseases such as gout and arthritis are caused by specific bacteria

Targetted probiotics

Recent research has shown that various auto immune diseases are caused by specific bacteria, for example gout and arthritis. It has been suggested that a probiotic bacteria called Lactobacillus Rhamnosis is the main culprit, and by taking these probiotics one can arrest the condition.

70% of our Immune system lies in the gut, or digestive tract

Because our health will largely be determined by the health of our digestive tract, it is vital that it is looked after. Regular clean outs and taking lots of fresh fruit and vegetables will enhance the Immune system

Ph Ph Ph-or alkaline, alkaline, alkaline

We need to ensure that we keep our systems alkaline, and that means reducing or eliminating acidic foods that compromise cell health such as caffeine, red meats, carbonated drinks etc (see list elsewhere)

FOOD COMBINATIONS  ( By Wayne Pickering- The Food Combining guide)

1. VEGETABLES-Minerals The most beneficial vegetables in order are Spinach, Hubbard Squash, Sweet potato which is actually a fruit. Used together form a potent source of minerals etc Furthermore dark green veg such as Cabbage, Green beans, Broccoli as well as pumkin, Butternut squash etc. Best cooked by steaming in order to keep the average temp below 75 Degrees C above which the inbuilt digestive enzymes are detroyed or compromised.  SALADS.-Minerals Raw vegetables are by far the most effective in supplying good quality nutrients.

A SUGGESTED LIFESTYLE TO REPAIR AND HEAL A DISTRESSED BODY

(Bear in mind the previous food combining rules)

  2. HERBS

Herbs are natures’ antibiotics amongst other things. Garlic, Ginger with warm lemon water drunk while chewing the cut pieces will cleanse the system from bacteria and pathogens. Garlic is stronger than any anti biotic known to man. Cut 2 slices Ginger size of R5 coin.
  1. VEGETABLES
The most beneficial and nutritious veges in order-Spinach, Hubbard Squash and Sweet Potato. ( From Eat better and live better a Readers Digest publication with reference to many nutritional experts) To that we can add green vegetables such as Broccoli, string beans, Cabbage, Carrots Cauliflower, Green Peas, Potato etc Must be either steamed or lightly and slowly cooked

  1. PROTEIN

Avoid animal protein esp red meat which has been found to be Cancer Causing. One can use Brown Rice and Lentils which together make up all the Amino acid building blocks for Protein, Avocado, etc. Nut protein is esp beneficial, and it has been scientifically proven that when we obtain our protein and essential oils from nuts, cancer is not a threat. Nuts suggested are Cashews, Walnuts, Pecan, Macadamias, Brazil nuts– each with their own specific functions in the body.

  1. SALADS

Here again Baby Spinach, Carrots, celery, Cucumber, Tomatoes, beetroot, Onion, Lettuce are excellent, each with its own specific function in the human body Dressing-use extra Virgin Olive oil and avoid dressings with dairy produce.

5.FRUIT.

Alkaline fruits are essential to reduce the acidic condition in the body. The best ones are Pears, Paw Paw, Grapes, Avocado, etc-refer to food combining List. Make a fruit salad with Paw Paw, Pear, Grapes, Apple and sprinkle seeds and nuts to control sugar levels. 6. SEEDS Seeds contain an amazing amount of essential minerals amongst other things and also each have specific functions in the body. Top of the List is Pumpkin, Sunflower, Sesame, Flax, etc Best to soak overnight with boiling water initially to kill any pathogens. Use with Fruit salad as above

7. BREAD

Bread contains sugar, unhealthy fats, and specifically yeast which causes fungus to grow. Rather use Brown Rice cakes which are protein in ess3ence and far more beneficial.

8. DRESSINGS AND SPREADS

Use extra Virgin olive oil rather than butter or margerine spreads. Spread thinly on Rice Cakes and the smear Avocado or Banana on same

9. TEAS

Avoid using teas-Ceylon tea contains caffeine and tannin, as does Rooibos which contains Tannin. Tannin cures the proteins in leather shoes etc and does the same thing in the stomach by ‘curing’ any protein present as well as damaging the acid secreting villi in the stomach walls.Use herbal teas eg Lemon water with small pieces of Ginger and Garlic. There are plenty of other herbal teas like mint etc available in tea bag form and information about them well known.

10. DRINKS AND JUICES (Also available from Food Lovers stores)

Avoid boxed fruit juices as they bypass chewing in the mouth and overload the digestive system. Rather use Vegetable juices where each part does a specific function in the body. Suggested-1 bag carrots, 1 Apple, 2 slices Pineapple, Half Cucumber, Ginger, Celery This is a potent juice for restoring not only the alkalinity, but targets specific areas.

Other in a blender-Baby Spinach, Cucumber, Kale, Pineapple, Orange and filtered water

SUMMARY OF NUTRITIONAL HEALING

Look after your body, it’s the only one you have.

  1. Read and study the pages on do’s and donts’ or 2 Laws-then decide to live your life according to them.
  2. Be alert for hygiene cleanliness-wash hands before and after coming into contact with articles or people who may be contaminated.
  3. If you feel you have some chest condition eg coughing etc, I recommend inhaling the steam from boiling hot water to which one adds  say 10 eucalyptus oil drops and 10 drops of tea tree oil which acts as a disinfectant. The combination of heat, steam and oils will bring healing after a day or so. Eat Garlic and Ginger-disinfects lungs.
  4. Remember to cover your head with a towel to prevent the steam from escaping!Do this for 5-10 mins.
  5. Avoid acidic foods and drinks as outlined
  6. Avoid refined foods esp refined carbohydrates as far as possible. If you must have, then alternate with fresh raw salads and or steamed vegetables.
  7. Also wash your veggies and fruits before eating raw
  8. Esp fruits like bananas, apples etc which may have fallen on the floor during the handling process
  9. Study the chart of balance between health and disease, Minerals in Nuts and Seeds, Ph of Foods.
  10. Try and improve eating habits as laid out for optimum health
  11. Read and understand the digestive processes for motivation to stay on track
  12. Drink sufficient water,-1 glass every hr for blood transport etc
  13. Keep to the eating and drinking rules
  14. First thing in the morning have a warm glass of water with 4 slices of lemon to alkalise and cleanse your gut (if you cant get a lemon, use bottled lemon juice)
  15. Have sufficient alkaline fruits in the morning:pear, paw paw etc
  16. Eat nuts with fruits for protein when you can
  17. This helps the pancreas control sugar level in the body
  18. Eat a  garlic clove every few hrs-it is the strongest antibiotic known to man
  19. If too strong for you eat garlic crushed/sliced on a slice of bread
  20. Or take garlic and parsley capsules say 5 at a time with foor
  21. The garlic smell coming from the lungs will help counteract air borne diseases
  22. Have fresh vegetables and salads, organic if possible to alkalise the system.
  23. Keep bowel movements regular, at least once to 3 times per day
  24. Cleanse your colon every 6 months by taking a natural laxative
  25. Colour should be light brown
  26. Take regular exercise which is VERY important for a number of reasons
  27. Walking generates hormones and enzymes in muscles and skin
  28. Walking stimulates the Lymphatic system which is like the sewer system to get rid of decomposed cell tissue.
  29. The lymph system does not have a pump to clean the sewage, unlike the heart, which is a pump to circulate blood
  30. Only walking or exercise can help cleanse the lymph system by alternately expanding and contracting the muscles, which then squeezes the lymph channels
  31. Relax, take time out and avoid worry to protect adrenal glands
  32. Worry and stress kick starts the Adrenal glands and puts the body in high alert mode, and switches from building the body to a fear or fight mode, that shuts down cell building processes- and your immune system is at risk
  33. Pray and speak healing over one’s self
  34. Make absolutely sure your spirit is cleansed
  35. This means forgiving everyone in one’s life who has hurt or offended one
  36. Pray a blessing over them also to set them free, and be set free one’s self. (see a useful prayer in the prayer section)
  37. Read the bible where verses describe healing miracles

Stay in the word, and use it

Have your spiritual immune system strengthened-read the word more esp the New Testament, pray and meditate more for self and for others, ask to be filled with the Holy Spirit. Praying with sincere intention for others will stir up the spirit within. Speak healing prayer over yourself to avoid any negativity. Refuse to dwell on negative thoughts (see how to stop worrying and start living in the Inspiration section)

Build up your faith,

This is  as vital as described above. Make sure there is nothing to hinder your spiritual health such as bitterness, unforgiveness, anger resentment etc. These things are an un-cleanliness in your spirit and can make you ill also. May this short summary help you to understand more this incredible beautiful body of ours, and the basics of  how it works. In the not too distant future I will make this information available as an E-book, combined with the other areas of healing such as the emotions, mind, spirit etc Blessings, Arthur See my website for various aspects of healing eg Body, Mind, Emotions, Spirit, as well as much more information on videos showing people healed by spiritual prayer alone. There are videos on teaching how to do healing etc Download books, articles, listen to Podcasts etc. Website: omegadmc.co.za Email: omegadmc1@gmail.com
