Health and Wellness
As a business man, and more importantly someone who hopes to make a difference in the way people live their lives, I’ve been involved with health and wellness for many years. I had a life-changing personal experience that convinced me that things needed to change for the better. In 1977, I needed to have some dental work done. Based on my dentist’s opinion of what was best for my health, 12 mercury amalgam fillings were installed in my mouth. After this, for months I became progressively sicker and sicker, but I was unaware of the cause. I later found out I had mercury poisoning. My health continued to deteriorate and I thought I was going to end up a cripple in a wheelchair. Mainstream medicine could offer me no solution, other than a barrage of painkillers, surgery with an ambiguous outcome, or this consoling statement: “You will have to learn to live with this.” I was not satisfied with these options in the least, so I began to search for others. I discovered homeopathy, chiropractic and naturopathic medicine and started to learn how the human body works. I found out that not everybody looks at illness the way mainstream medicine did. They saw it as an invasion from outside that needs to be fought like a war in a series of battles. The new medicines I discovered described it more as an expression of problems in one’s cellular terrain.
I found the concepts that interested me had been in literature since the 1880s. Historical figures like Thomas Edison and Henry Ford practiced Natural Hygiene and others have been living it in the early 20th century.
The ideas I will be discussing in future blog posts are really very simple. They start with four simple steps: cleanse, nourish, exercise and balance. Very straight forward. Removing toxins from your body, ingesting only healthy foods and making sure you have the right nutrients are the keys to a truly healthy and happy lifestyle.
