About
every ten years since 1979, Iıve reinvented myself. From
1979-1992 I practiced as a medical doctor, naturopath, acupuncturist,
herbalist, and
homeopath.
From
1993-2002 I focused on research, producing a line of herbal
products
to go along with the Body Rejuvenation Cleanse program
that I co-developed. I
also wrote several books, including ³The Miracle of Magnesium,² and
developed an extensive media background.
In
2003, I researched medical iatrogenesis and published ³Death by
Medicine.² This endeavor brought out the activist and advocate in me and
I now work with Friends of Freedom to help save supplements
for public consumption from Health Canada and Codex. This work has
also renewed my desire to help people grow healthy by offering
seminars in lifestyle intervention that encompass diet,
exercise, supplements, and cleansing
protocols, which I will be doing with LiveLongerEducationalFoundation.com.

OPTIMUM HEALTH - THE NATURAL WAY
What is Optimum Health?
Optimum
Health as Recommended by LiveLongerEducationalFoundation.com
Optimum
Health is defined as the maximum level of health an individual can achieve
and sustain with their genetic constitution, past
influences and present lifestyle.
The key to Optimum Health is for each individual to take responsibility
for their own health and to learn to listen to their body. Our body is a
miracle of creation and is in most cases, if given some help, capable of
healing itself.
In North America over 60% of all deaths occur because of degenerative diseases
related to diet and lifestyle. There are three principal causes of degenerative
diseases:
[1]
Malnutrition
[2] Incomplete Digestion
[3] Toxicity
What stops us from achieving Optimum Health?
1) Malnutrition:
North Americans consume in quantity more food and other substances then
anywhere else in the world yet suffer seriously from malnutrition.
The reasons for this are:
- Mass food production techniques. Processing = Denatured foods = low nutrient
values.
- Depleted soils from modern farming practices = products without full
range of essential nutrients = food not containing nutrients essential for
our good health.
- Fast foods high in toxic fats, sugar, caffeine, food additives and
containing very little nutrient value = recipe for degenerative disease.
- Cooking methods = nutrients destroyed and potential harmful substances
added.
2) Improper
Digestion - Do you suffer from halitosis, indigestion , gas, abdominal
pain, rumbling noises, bloating, belching, nausea, burning
sensations after eating and / or constipation,? Even if you eat a healthy
diet, ] if you suffer from indigestion the absorption and metabolism
of all nutrients
is compromised. Eventually, food sensitivities, allergies, fatigue, poor
concentration and memory loss, candida, infections, parasites. leaky
gut syndrome, irritable bowel and other gastro-intestinal disorders can
result.
Causes include:
- Stress, anxiety, worry and anger.
- Poor diet high in processed foods, food additives, sugar, and fat; greasy,
spicy and highly refined foods, vinegar, caffeine, and alcohol
- Chewing with mouth open, talking while chewing, gulping down food quickly
in a stressful environment.
- Drinking liquids with meal.
- A lack of digestive enzymes , healthy intestinal flora, or hydrochloric acid
which can be genetically related or decrease with age, stress and ill
health, and medication side-effects.
- Liver, pancreas, gallbladder weakness or disorders.
- Antibiotics and other over-the-counter and pharmaceutical drugs.
- Food allergies and sensitivities.
- Improper food combining.
3) Toxicity
- The environment we live in is very different from the environment our
ancestors lived and evolved in. We endure massive
chemical, air, water, soil pollutants, higher and higher levels
of microwaves and toxic medical treatments. Most of our diets, though
plentiful in quantity
of foods, are high in toxins from pesticides, food additives,
etc. This overload of daily toxins increases our free radical production
and poisons
our body. This results in a greater risk of ill health and disease.
This toxic assault on our body is the result of:
- Commercial fertilisers, pesticides and herbicides.
- Animal farming with hormones, antibiotics and other drugs
- Processed foods with nitrates, preservatives, artificial flavours and colouring
and other chemicals.
- Increasing exposure to microwaves from televisions, microwave ovens, computers, cellular
phones, etc.
- Dangerous cooking methods like deep frying and barbequing
- Genetically engineered foods
- Irradiated foods
- Industrial and automobile pollution
- Commercial household and outdoors cleaners and chemicals.
What are the key elements to achieving Optimum Health?
Optimum
health is achievable with several key elements that affect how our bodies
respond to both our genetics and our lifestyle, allowing each cell in
our body to perform at their peak potential and efficiency.
The key elements to achieving
Optimum Health are
- pure water
- a wide assortment of fresh, organic (as often as possible)
fruits, and vegetables and whole foods.
- optimum daily nutrient intake levels through supplementation,
- a healthy lifestyle with proper sleep, exercise, stress management,
- environmentally safe household products and practices.
1) Pure
Water - is essential to life. For optimal health we should drink
a minimum of 8 - 8 oz. glasses (approximately 2 litres) of pure, filtered
or spring water daily. If you are overweight this should be increased
by 1 - 8 oz. glass per 25 lbs. over your healthy weight. The
basic amount
should also be increased with exercise or manual labour, with
extreme hot or cold temperature, with fevers, or with high protein intake
(high
levels of meat, dairy, protein supplements in diet).
Why is
pure water a key to optimum health? Each cell. contains and uses
water in its many functions. Our brains can’t function without
water. Water is:
- the primary transported of nutrients throughout the body.
- helps maintain normal body temperature.
- essential for carrying waste and toxic material out of the body via the
kidneys and liver
- essential for fat metabolism. Optimal levels reduce fat deposits and
allows liver to metabolise stored fat into energy.
- essential to prevent fluid retention which occurs when too low levels
of intercellular water triggers storage and swelling while decreasing
waste excretion through sweat and urination.
- needed to prevent constipation. Optimal levels ensure proper bowel regularity
and prevents water being reabsorbed to tissues from colon causing hardening
of waste
- important for maintaining proper muscle tone and skin health.
2)
Eating a wide variety of colorful fresh fruits and vegetables
and whole, unprocessed
foods ensures that you are providing your body with the optimum
amount of nutrients, enzymes, fibre, essential fatty acids and
healthy sources
of lean protein, complex carbohydrates and “good” fats. Eating
for Optimum Health should include:
- high
amounts of raw foods for enzymes and optimal nutrient availability.
- Colourful fruits
and vegetables which contain high amounts of bioflavonoids, carotenoids,
antioxidants. and other phyto-nutrients
- a
wide variety of green, leafy vegetables like kale, swiss
chard, turnip, beet, and collard greens, Chinese cabbage and
greens, seaweeds
which are rich in nutrients, especially chlorophyll and alkalize
the system..
- Cultured
foods like plain yoghurt and kefir which are partially pre-digested
for those with lactose intolerance. They provide healthy
bacterial flora needed for proper digestion, absorption of nutrients
as well as defending the gastro-intestinal tract against
yeast, fungus, molds
and keeping unhealthy bacteria levels in check.
- Whole
grains and legumes are good sources of minerals, B vitamins,
fibre, protein. Whole grains and legumes are low on the glycemic
index which means their starches are metabolized to sugars
more slowly than
processed grains and flours resulting in more balanced blood
sugar levels.
- protective
foods like garlic, onions, ginger and herbs and spices
3)
Supplementation - With all the nutrient-depleting conditions existing
today you
cannot obtain all of the essential nutrients required by
your body to achieve
and sustain Optimum Health without supplementing your diet.
Other things that affect our need for higher levels of nutrients
include living
in large cities or working in polluted environments with toxic
materials, smokers and those exposed to cigarette smoke,
older adults and the elderly,
anyone who is ill, compromised immune systems, medications, and
chronic health conditions or disabilities that compromise
the quality of life.
Daily supplementation is essential for Optimum Health.
Guidelines have been developed based on scientific research
and studies that provide us with Optimum Daily Intakes (see
Tuck‘s
Health Choice brochure “Nutrients for Optimum Health”).
Daily supplementation should include:
- Green
Food drink or capsules, like Greens Plus or Flora’s
Beyond Greens, taken in the morning in a glass of juice or pure
water
- Udo’s
Ultimate Oil Blend provides the essential fatty acids
with a balanced ratio of Omega 3- Omega 6 fatty acids
- Probiotics
with Acidophilus and other beneficial bacterial flora
- Vitamin
E from
natural source d’alpha Tocopherols
- Vitamin
C with bioflavonoids for synergy and bio-availability
- Beta
carotene/Antioxidant combination
- natural
source Multivitamin with optimum levels of
B vitamins.
4) A healthy lifestyle is another essential component to
Optimum Health. Twenty to thirty minutes a day of regular aerobic
activity,
like power walking, swimming, bicycling, tai chi, yoga, aerobic
or strengthening exercise classes improves digestion and elimination
of wastes and toxins,
increases endurance and energy levels, lowers overall cholesterol
while increasing the good HDL levels. Exercise also reduces
stress and anxiety which contribute to many causes of ill health.
Regular exercise
acts as an anti-depressant by elevating mood and increasing feelings
of well being. Deep breathing and meditation are also
excellent de-stressors
and bring balance to a hectic lifestyle.
5)
Healthy environment - Decreasing ways we are exposed to toxins
and pollutants
in our everyday life is key to our individual, as well as environmental,
good health. Some simple ways to do this include:
- using
non-toxic household cleaners or making your own from baking soda, vinegar,
borax, etc.
- using
non-aerosol natural body care products and natural medicines and remedies
- carpooling, bicycling and walking
- limiting
use of microwave-emitting appliances and computers. Stand as
far as possible from microwave ovens when on, don’t touch
computer screens, and stop every 20-30 minutes for water
breaks. Invest in microwave-grounding products.
Keep cellular phones at a distance from your body.
- the
3 R’s - recycle, reuse and reduce. Two more-repair, RETHINK
- using
natural materials for clothing, home decoration and building, etc.
- greening
your home and yard with plants and trees that neutralize and detoxify
the environment
- reading
all labels and choose products with natural ingredients
- living
in a healthy community and environment
- become
active in a local grassroots political organization
to make sure your view of a healthier world
around you becomes reality. It has been
said that those who chose not to participate in the politic process
are destined to be ruled by those who do
participate. It is your society -
make sure that governments and large companies know how you feel
and how you want them to behave.
