Even though we think that with the Advances in Science and Medical Technology,

we are in a Position to Eradicate Illnesses,

this Knowledge is Really used to suppress people.

Welcome to the First Lesson in  the

Healthy Living Newsletter.

These lessons are arranged to complement one another, though each is a unit by itself, and would run for 8 days.

It is not my intention to lay Questions nor Challenge your Beliefs nor Convert you in any way, for some would find these Lessons rather offending as it may be considered not the accepted way in these Modern Times.  However, these Philosophies have been in existence for centuries and have laid the foundations of Modern Medicine.  These Principles of Healthy Living have been proven  throughout the Civilized Worlds and have been enshrined in many of our Great Books.

Hold on to your seat, for the revelations will be rather astounding.

I guarantee that at the end, You will certainly view your health and lifestyle in a totally different perspective.

1.The Cause of Diseases

Thousands of different processes take place simultaneously.  During metabolism, there is always an ongoing process of Metabolism or Tissue Building – Cell Building or Anabolism and Cell  Destruction or Catabolism.

Your Body is continuously disposing of the waste products of combustion, and constantly rebuilding tissue by replacing worn out, dead cells with new, fresh ones. Every seven years virtually
every cell in the body is replaced, some types of cells having a faster turnover rate than others, which means that over a seven year period several hundred pounds of dead cells must be digested (autolyzed) and eliminated.

This means that the body has to dispose tremendous amounts of waste on normal metabolic processes.  In addition, there is Digestion, and numerous mild toxins are normally produced daily.  And with the types of foods available and the tendency to overeat, additional burdens are put on the elimination processes.

Primary Organs of Elinination

These waste products are poisonous to one degree or another, and are toxic to the system. Toxins are normally removed by the Organs of Detoxification.  The two main ones are the Liver and Kidneys.
If these toxins are allowed to accumulate in the body, then death will eventually occur.

(The above Video Clips shows the Functioning of the Liver (1.16mins) and the Kidneys ( 2.32 mins))

Secondary Organs of Elimination

When levels build up past the normal, then the Secondary Organs of Detoxification – the large intestines, lungs, bladder and skin come into play. This buildup of toxins is called Toxemia.

The lungs are normally supposed to eliminate the carbon dioxide gas, the large intestines the insoluble food remains, and the skin -  sweat to cool.

Build Up of Toxins – Toxemia

But when toxins build up to above normal levels, they are disposed through the secondary organs of elimination.

These areas then become inflamed, irritated, and weakened.

The results can be skin irritations, sinusitis or a whole host of  other “itises” depending on the area involved, bacterial or viral infections.

When excess toxemia cannot be exuded effectively, then it is deposited instead of eliminated.

The results can be arthritis if toxins are stored in joints, rheumatism if in muscle tissues, cysts and benign tumors.

And if toxins weaken the body’s immune response, there is the probability of cancer.

The liver and the kidneys play the major role in purification; these jointly act as filters to purify the blood. Hygienists pay a lot of attention to these organs, the liver especially.  Ideally, they are designed to go 80 years or more before tiring, that is, in a world of pure air and water, nutritious  crops and livestock grown on natural grains.

But in reality,

these are overburdened by the kinds of food that  we eat today – food crops have been subjected to a lot of unnatural pesticides, fertilizers and  genetic breeding.

The excessive demand for livestock that have undergone transformation to be breeded, fattened and slaughtered in shorter times with the help of hormonal and other medications.

The farm products are sent to the Agro Processing plants to be denatured, processed, salted, sugared, laced with preservatives, and altered in so many ways to attract our tastes and fancies and,

most importantly, reduce preparation time to eat. And of course, cooking time.  The stove is now  underutilized kitchen appliance compared to the microwave.

The paradox of this story is that we tell ourselves that we are doing our bodies good.

We overburden our organs of elimination by eating what we feel like, when we feel like
and until our bellies feel good.

You see, we have been conditioned into thinking that way.

As children growing up, we ate what our mothers cooked for us.

We eat what our wives cook for us.

We don’t question, so it becomes a habitual  and unconscious activity.

Eating is not challenged.

Food is welcome.

We eat our bellies full.  In this way, we continue to eat what our mother fed us as children.

So when we develop the same diseases as our  parents, we naturally conclude that is a genetic inheritance, when actually it was just because we are putting our feet under the same table as our parents.

Added to that, when we full out forms of our Medical History, there is the section on family history, so we accept that it may be our fate.

Welcome to the Second Lesson  in  the

Healthy Living Newsletter.

In this lesson, I am going to discuss the most important step in maintaining your good health.  You see, this is the source of our health,  strength and energy, and the main factor over which we have control.  It is a most studied and talked about subject, to the extent that everybody thinks that he/she is an expert.  However, it is unfortunately the Single Biggest Factor in our not being able to Live Well and Healthy.

Knowledge is not all – it is the correct application that brings you fruit.

2. The Digestive Process

Ah, you are back. Just to recap, the metabolic processes that take place in the body produce bye products that are poisonous to the body.  These toxins are eliminated via the kidneys and liver in a healthy person.  When levels build up, then the body is forced to use the secondary organs of elimination.  These were not designed to do this on a regular basis, and the poisons eventually cause irritation and lesions leading to infections.

Why the toxins build up in the body.

So here you go.

Its lunchtime.

So you sit to eat your meal. Very often this is done in a hurry, you don’t chew properly, as you have a lot on your mind and is under a lot of stress, or in the presence of negative emotions. This is a time for you to be relaxed, and focused on the food that you are about to eat, your source of health, strength and longevity.  But instead you reflect on the work and on the day’s activities so you give no thought to what becomes of your food once it has been swallowed. 

(Now you appreciate the true purpose of Grace Before Meals.)

You have been led to assume that anything put in the mouth automatically gets digested flawlessly, is efficiently absorbed into the body where it nourishes your cells, with the waste products being eliminated completely from the large intestine.

This vision of efficiency may exist in the best cases, but for most, there is many a slip between the table and the toilet. Most bodies are not optimally efficient at performing all the required functions, especially after years of poor living habits, stress, fatigue, and aging.

To the Natural Hygienist, most disease begins and ends with your food; most healing efforts are focused on improving the process of Digestion.

Digestion means chemically changing the foods eaten into soluble substances that can pass into the blood stream and circulate through the body where nutrition is used for bodily functions.   Our bodies use these nutritional substances for normal metabolic processes. Scientists are still busily engaged in trying to understand the chemical mysteries of our bodies. But as bewildering as the chemistry of life is, the chemistry of digestion itself is actually a relatively simple process, and one doctors have had a fairly good understanding of for many decades.

Digestion in the Mouth

Yes it usually always starts in the mouth.  The food is chewed and mixed with ptyalin, an enzyme secreted by the salivary glands. Ptyalin converts insoluble starches into simple sugars.

You can do a simple experiment yourself.  Take a piece of bread, no spread of jam, butter or anything, just a piece of plain bread  Start chewing it slowly, do not swallow.  Eventually it starts to sort of  liquefy, and as you keep chewing, it actually starts to taste sweet.

Ptyalin works fast.  It is an enzyme that is a large, complex molecule that has the ability to chemically change other large, complex molecules without being changed itself. In this case, it changes the insoluble starch molecules into simpler sugars to give the sweet taste.

Digestive enzymes perform relatively simple functions – breaking large molecules into smaller parts that can dissolve in water.  You probably have heard about catalysts - they are complex organic  catalysts.

Try the same experiment, but with a sip of water.  Big difference?
The water made it taste mushy by diluting the enzyme.

(I hope you will start chewing to really appreciate the good taste in food, and drink liquids long before and after swallowing.)

Horace Fletcher, whose name has become synonymous with the importance of chewing food well (Fletcherizing), ran an experiment on a military population in Canada. He required half his experimental group to chew thoroughly, and the other half to gulp things down as usual.

His study reports significant improvement in the overall health and performance of the group that persistently chewed.

A logical conclusion from this data is

Keep in mind that even so-called protein foods such as peas and beans often contain large quantities of starches and the starch portion of protein foods is also digested in the mouth.

Digestion in the Stomach

In the stomach, the food it is mixed with hydrochloric acid, secreted by the stomach itself, and pepsin, another enzyme.  Together these break proteins down into water-soluble amino acids.  To accomplish this the stomach muscles agitate the food continuously, somewhat like a washing machine. This extended churning forms a kind of ball in the stomach called a bolus. The food is now ready to pass to the next stage, into the first part of the small intestine, the duodenum.

Well at least, that is what is supposed to happen, right?

Not quite.  In the stomach, the acid stops the ptyalin from working.  Starch digestion stops so starch is not properly processed.  And there is a serious problem with the protein.  Once cooked, protein molecules change – for the worse.  Cooked proteins are relatively indigestible, despite the fact that the meat and beans are soft and tender.

(I know that this may be hard to accept because we have always been told otherwise.)

Lets go into some simple biochemistry.  Protein molecules are a combination of amino acids.  For simplicity sake lets say that there are only six amino acids.  Lets call them 1,2,3,4,5,and 6. So a particular (imaginary) protein could be structured: 1, 4, 4, 6, 2, 3, 5, 4, 2, 3, 6, 1, 1, 2, 3, etc. Thus you should see that by combining a limited number of amino acids there can be a virtually infinite number of proteins. (The body needs 36 amino acids. Imagine the combinations!)

The proteins do not dissolve readily in water (as sugars do), and need to be digested.  How the enzyme works is it is a sort of a mirror image to the amino acids.  They attach themselves to the
proteins, to each amino acid in the chain as a key fits into the lock.  They then break the bonds that join these acids together, separating them out.  The amino acids are soluble and can now be assimilated.  The enzyme then unlocks itself from the amino acid, and look for another protein molecule. The process is repeated.

So after a few hours of churning up the food in an acid environment with enough enzymes, all the recently eaten proteins are decomposed into amino acids and these amino acids pass into the small
intestines where they are absorbed through the wall of the intestine and enter the capillary network into the blood stream.  The blood circulatory system transports the dissolved food to where
it is needed, and the body recombines them into structures as necessary.

( And that, my good chap, is truly health from a box…  or plate…  its good to dream!)

Now lets wake up.

When protein chains are heated, the protein structures are altered into physical shapes that the enzymes can’t “latch” on to. The perfect example of this is when an egg is fried. The egg white is
albumen, a kind of protein. When it is heated, it shrivels up and gets hard. While raw and liquid, it is easily digestible and very soluble, but when cooked, largely indigestible.          (Hint?)

Stress (not necessarily mental) tends to reduce the churning action in the stomach so that otherwise digestible foods may not be mixed efficiently with digestive enzymes. As a result, these undigested
proteins and starches pass into the gut. 

(Remember the Mexicans and their Siesta?)

(Video Clip on the Digestive System (2.24mins.))

Digestion in the Gut

In the first part of the gut, the duodenum, the medium is alkaline. The pepsin no longer attacks the proteins.  The starch digestion continues, but yeasts ferment them. During fermentation, gases are
produced, but the products are rather slightly toxic. It would normally take years upon years before these toxins produce life-threatening diseases.

But yeasts don’t ferment these undigested proteins, instead they are attacked by anaerobic bacteria and literally rot in your guts.

Many of the waste products of anaerobic putrefaction are highly toxic.  They also stink.   These toxins are absorbed through the small or large intestines and they are very irritating to the mucous membranes.  The skin tries to eliminate them as you sweat, giving you an unpleasant odour, especially in areas where sweating take place most, as underarm.

The gases produced from the yeast fermentation of the starches do not smell particularly bad, but those produced from the putrefaction of the proteins are pretty awful. In short meat lovers do smell high even when they are not passing wind.

These toxins irritate the mucous membranes, frequently  contributing to or causing cancer of the colon. Protein putrefaction may even cause psychotic symptoms in
some individuals.

The undigested food, therefore, forces a heavy burden on the organs of elimination.  This produces a myriad of unpleasant symptoms.  The putrefied food affects the functioning of the large intestine and produces constipation.

One normally thinks of constipation as the forcing of oneself in order to excrete their stools.  This is because properly digested food is not sticky and exits the large intestine quickly. You can see this in children.  Babies go off shortly after being fed.

Toddlers use the toilet more often.  It’s natural.

But as adults,
you try to regiment yourselves to once or twice a day so that it doesn’t interfere with your “normal” day.  And you teach the kids to do same.

And this is only the elementary stage of constipation.

Constipation is “the retention of waste products in the large intestine beyond the time that is conducive to health.”

These improperly digested foods (or indigestible foods) gradually coat your large intestine, making an ever-thicker lining that interferes with the intestine’s functioning. Far worse, this coating steadily putrefies, and starts to petrify, or solidify, creating additional highly potent toxins.

Lining the colon with undigested food can be compared to the  mineral deposits filling in the inside of an old water pipe, gradually  choking off the flow. In your colon, this deposit can become rock-hard, just like water pipe scale.

The job of your large intestine is to reabsorb the moisture and water-soluble minerals from the food and moves them up into the blood stream, before storing the faeces in the rectum for elimination.

But now it is beautifully lined and liberating loads of toxins to keep burdening your liver, overloading the kidneys and accelerating their breakdown, thus accelerating the aging process and contributing to a lot of interesting and unpleasant symptoms.

( The only ones to smile are the doctors you think you keep busy, but instead financially solvent.)

(This Video Clip is rather unsightly.  It shows what can come out of the Bowels after a few days of fasting.  You would see the excreted material. Like I said, it a bit messy.)

We’ll look at the colon in more details later.

Imagine how and what you would be doing to earn a living,  and the foods that you would be eating and drinking.

Would the “comforts” now and then be the same?

After a day’s work, could you come home to watch TV?

What would you be doing in your leisure time?

Would the manner of growing crops and rearing livestock be the same?

What about the food that is prepared?

Think you could just pop open the fridge door and fix up?

What about the water consumed?

Does it have the same stuff as today?

The idea is to look at things from outside the box.  If you wanted to see the forest, should you stand inside and look at the trees, or climb the hill and look beyond?

Welcome to the Third Lesson in  the

Healthy Living Newsletter.

In this Lesson, We are going to look at the Philosophy behind diseases and how, in this Modern Age, Physical  and Emotional Stress is being made to look as if it is a necessary part of  living, a Criterion for the advancement of oneself, hidden behind the Person’s Desire for Comforts, at the expense of Health.  

**Melvin Manoo**

3. The Progress Of Disease: 

Irritation —  Enervation — Toxemia

Disease routinely lies at the end of a three-part chain that goes:

1. Irritation or sub-clinical malnutrition
2. Enervation
3. Toxemia

Irritation

Irritations are something that you do to yourself or something that happens around you – stresses, in other words.  You may think of stress as being only related to the mind – or mental.  Indicators such as anger, fear, resentment, hopelessness, etc may exist.  

Behind most diseases it is common to find a problematic mind  churning in profound confusion, one generated by a character that avoids responsibility.

There may also be stress or ongoing hostile relationships related to the job, family, finances, etc.

Stress can also be a result of substances introduced into the system such as indigestible foods (and indigestion), mild recreational poisons such as “soft” drugs, tobacco and alcohol. Opiates are somewhat more toxifying, primarily because they paralyze the gut and induce profound constipation. Stimulants like cocaine and amphetamines are the most damaging recreational drugs; these are highly toxic and rapidly shorten life.

(Video Clips on Results of Tests on Drinking Water (9.52 mins), and Report on Vitamins and Minerals)

Ennervation

Continuous subjecting to these stresses would eventually take a toll.  

The old time hygienists defined Enervation as a lack of or decline in an unmeasurable phenomenon, “nerve energy.” 

They viewed the functioning of vital organs as being controlled by or driven by nerve force, sometimes called life force or elan vital. 

Whatever this vital force actually is, it can be observed and  subjectively measured by comparing one person with another. 

Some people are full of it and literally sparkle with overflowing  energy. Beings like this make everyone around them feel good because they somehow momentarily give energy to those 
endowed with less. 

Others possess very little and dully plod through life.

There seems to be a relationship between lowered vital  force and the overall efficiency of all the body’s organs. 
The pancreas creates less digestive enzymes; the thymus secretes less of its vital hormones that mobilize the immune system; the pituitary makes less growth hormone so the overall repair and rebuilding of cells and tissues slows correspondingly; and so forth.

 It does not really matter if nerve energy exists, or if it can be measured in a laboratory.  But it can be observed.  However, it is measurable by laboratory testing that after repeated Irritation,
the overall functioning of the essentmial organs and glands does deteriorate.

The level of this vibrant energy may drop gradually to the point where it may not be noticed by the person, but manifests itself as a complaint – this lack of energy, this general tiredness, as difficulties digesting, as a new inability to handle a previously tolerated insult like alcohol.

Stress and Health

The human body is designed to run efficiently on highly nutritious food and this aspect of human genetic programming is not easily modifiable.  

But given enough generations, adaptations can take place. 

For example: a group of isolated Fijians currently enjoying long healthy lives eating a diet of seafoods and tropical root crops could suddenly be moved to the highlands of Switzerland and forced to eat the local fare or starve.  But most of the Fijians would not have systems adept at making those enzymes necessary to digest cows milk.

So the transplanted Fijians would experience many generations of poorer health and shorter life spans until their genes had been selected for adaptation to the new diet. 

Ultimately their descendants could become uniformly healthy on rye bread and dairy products just like the highland Swiss were.

So the human gene pool can adapt to extracting its nutrition from a different group of foods, but over generations.  

The effects of two drastic changes in our methods of food production over the last century or less will produce widespread enervation. 

1.  Agriculture has become heavily industrialized and technological. Crops and livestock are being intensively grown and commercialized – the aim is to get the maximum production in the least costing and timing. 

The food produced looks and taste the same, but there is a difference in the levels of nutrition as compared to small scale or family run farms.

In the last century, we have seen higher levels of  urbanization and a move away from the busy farm life to a more sedentary lifestyle. 

2.  Secondly, the processing of foodstuff has reached the stage where almost all food eaten is already precooked or requires minimum preparation. 

Humans will probably adjust to the first; the second will,  I’m sure, prove  insurmountable. 

First, industrially processed foods are a recent invention and our bodies have not yet adapted to digesting them.
In a few more generations humans might be able to accomplish that and public health could improve on factory food.

In the meanwhile, the health of humans has declined.

It is doubtful if any biological organism can ever adapt to an overall dietary that contains significantly lowered levels of nutrition. 

ooooooooooooo

   
That’s it for today.  You can see why the quality of food can affect our overall well being, and lead to the development of diseases in a significant way, even though we may tell ourselves that we are eating better than our ancestors.

In the next lesson, we will be looking at how the body heals itself and what we should do, and, most importantly, should not do, to assist.

It will be very important.  It tells you why the doctor will always be rich.

Welcome to the Fourth Lesson in  the

Healthy Living Newsletter.

In this Lesson, we will be Looking at the Healing Process.  In the last lesson, you noted that the build up of toxins led to their Elimination through the Secondary Organs.  This is Your Body’s Defence Mechanism, and it is often misunderstood as the disease itself, especially as there is a bit of discomfort.
In an attempt to lessen the discomfort, you interfere with the natural process, and think that you are cured.  But the disease is still there.

**Melvin Manoo**

4.Secondary Eliminations

Lets recap.  In the last lesson, we looked at the chain of progress of disease from Irritation, to Enervation, and then to Toxemia.  It does not matter what the exact form the chain takes, as the
ultimate result is an increased level of toxemia, placing an eliminatory burden on the liver and kidneys in excess of their ability.

Effect of Toxemia

Eventually these organs begin to weaken.  Decline of liver and/or kidney function threatens the stability and purity of blood chemistry. Rather than risk complete incapacitation or death from self-poisoning, the overloaded, toxic body, guided by its genetic predisposition and the nature of the toxins (what was eaten, in what state of stress), cleverly channels surplus toxins into its first line of defense – the alternative or secondary elimination systems.

Now in the healthy body, it is natural that these secondary organs exude fluids.  Your lungs are the organs of gaseous exchange and eliminate used air.  Their tissues are lubricated with mucus-like secretions too. The skin smells sweet and pleasant (like a newborn baby’s body) even after exercise when it has been sweating heavily.
Other skin-like organs such as the sinus tissues were designed to secrete small amounts of mucus for lubrication.

But when they are discharged with that responsibility, things change.

Toxemia is often pushed out the sweat glands and is recognized as an unpleasant body odor.

When toxins are discharged in mucus through tissues  not designed to handle them, the tissues themselves become irritated, inflamed, weakened and thus much more subject to bacterial or  viral infection.

Your body initially chooses secondary elimination routes as far from vital tissues and organs as possible as its first line of defence.  Mind you {!firstname_fix}, that not eliminating the toxins can eventually lead to serious disability or even death.

So your disease history may begin with colds, flu, sinusitis, bronchitis, chronic cough, asthma, rashes, acne, eczema, and psoriasis.  Unfortunately, you regard the cold as a disease, when
it really is the healing process.  Your doctor or pharmacist prescribes drugs to suppress these eliminations.  But the eating or lifestyle habits that created the toxemia in the first place are
not addressed, and remain unchanged. The toxic load increases beyond the limits of this technique of elimination forcing the body to store toxins in fat or muscle tissues or the joint cavities, overburdens the kidneys, creates cysts, fibroids, and benign tumors to store those toxins.

(The above clips shows you Statistics on  the incidence of Diseases in the US over a few years and How the Pharmaceutical Companies are Spending Big Money on Ads )

If this toxic overload continues over a longer time, then there is no other choice but to permit damages to vital tissues, thereby initiating life-threatening conditions.

The paradox is that what you call disease is really the healing process.  Your attempt to cure the disease is really an attempt to stop the healing process and inflict greater harm.

Ask yourself this.

After so many years of modern research using state of the art technology, and having access to so many medical journals for ages from all over the world, do you think that when the doctor hits you the flu shot, he is not conscious of that?

Illness comes from the body’s best attempt to lighten its toxic load without immediately threatening its survival.

The body always does the very best it can to remedy toxemia given its circumstances, and it should be commended for these efforts regardless of how uncomfortable they might be to the person inhabiting the body.

Symptoms of secondary elimination are actually a positive thing because they are the body’s efforts to lessen a dangerously toxic condition.

Secondary eliminations shouldn’t be treated immediately with a drug to suppress the process.

If you squelch the body’s best and least-life-threatening method to eliminate toxins, the body will ultimately have to resort to another more dangerous though probably less immediately uncomfortable channel.

The conventional medical model does not view disease this way and sees the symptoms of secondary elimination as the disease itself. So the conventional doctor takes steps to halt the body’s remedial efforts, thus stopping the undesirable symptom and then, the symptom gone, proclaims the patient cured.

When actually, the apparent disease is the cure.

Whew! That was something!  It really had me thinking there.
This has thrown a whole new light on the way I think of  ilnesses.
Perhaps the next lesson will be more revealing.
I wonder what next.
(I’ll give a hint: more on how to help overcome the disease.)

Welcome to the Fifth Lesson in  the

Healthy Living Newsletter.

In this lesson, we will continue to Look at the Healing Process in our Body.  In the last lesson, you saw that in healing itself, your Body produced some uncomfortable reactions, and these symptoms were really the Healing Process in action, but was misinterpreted as Disease.
In an attempt to cure the discomfort, what we did was really to hamper the normal functioning and place greater risk on ourselves, forcing us to pay more.

**Melvin Manoo**

5. The Healing Process

Good to see you back  I am sure that you are wondering what was happening all these years. You probably are thinking “Goodness Gracious! What was I doing to Myself all the TIme?”

The Healing Process.

If we go back to the case of the common flu, the conventional doctor will treat the cold with antihistamines until your body gets influenza; suppress a flu repeatedly with antibiotics and
eventually you get pneumonia. Or, suppress asthma with bronkiodialators and eventually you need cortisone to suppress it. Continue treating asthma with steroids and you destroy the adrenals; now your body has become allergic to virtually everything.

(The abcve clips show How the Big Pharmaacies are spending Big Money Part 2, and the Benefits of Alkaline Ionised Water on the Body )

When the secondary organs are utilized for elimination, it is a sign of toxemia and a caution for possible infections to develop.

Viruses or bacteria attack sinuses and lungs, inflamed by secondary eliminations, and infectious diseases of the skin result from pushing toxins out of the skin.  More generalized infections also result from toxemia; in this case the immune system has become compromised and an organism that it normally should be able to resist easily overwhelms the body.

The wise cure of infections is not to use antibiotics to suppress the bacteria while simultaneously whipping the immune system; most people, including most medical doctors, do not realize that antibiotics also goose the immune system into super efforts.

But when one chooses to whip a tired horse, eventually the exhausted animal collapses and cannot rise again no matter how vigorously it is beaten.

The wise cure is to detoxify the body,

a step that simultaneously eliminates  secondary
eliminations and  rebuilds the immune system.

You have to understand that through your body’s eliminative efforts is to accept that disease is an opportunity to pay the piper for past indiscretions. You should go to bed, rest, and drink nothing but water or dilute juice until the condition has passed. This allows the body to conserve its vital energy, direct this energy toward healing the disordered body part, and catch up on its waste disposal. In this way you can help your body, be in harmony with its efforts instead of working against it, which is what most people do.

It is okay to complain that you do have neither the time nor the ability to be patient with your body, to rest it through an illness because the job cannot be missed, nor responsibilities put down.

This is a sad commentary on our supposed wealth and prosperity. In our country most people are enslaved by their debts, incurred because they had been enthralled by the illusion of happiness secured by the possession of material things. Debt slaves believe they cannot miss a week of work. People who feel they can’t afford to be sick think they can afford to live on pills. So people push through their symptoms by sheer grit for years on end, and keep that up until their exhausted horse of a body breaks down totally and they find themselves in the hospital running up bills to the tune of several thousand dollars a day.

But these very same people do not think they can afford the loss of a few hundred dollars of current income undertaking some virtually harmless preventative maintenance on their bodies.

Allow your body to throw off the toxic overburdens itself.  And once the body has been cleansed of toxemia, disagreeable symptoms usually cease.
This means that to make relatively mild but unwanted symptoms lessen and ultimately stop it is merely necessary to temporarily cut back food intake, eating only what does not cause toxemia.

These foods are classifed as cleansing, such as raw fruits and vegetables and their juices. If the symptoms are extreme, are perceived as overwhelming or are actually life-threatening, detoxification can be speeded up by dropping back to only dilute raw juices or vegetable broth made only from  greens, without eating the solids.

When acutely ill, the most important thing to do is to just get out of the body’s way, and let it heal itself.

In our ignorance we are usually our own worst enemy in this regard.

We have been very successfully conditioned to think that all symptoms are bad.

But I know from experience that people can and do learn a new way of viewing the body, an understanding that puts them at cause over their own body. It allows you to be empowered in one more area of life instead of being dependent and at the mercy of other peoples decisions about your body.

Finally, and this is why natural medicine is doubly unpopular, to prevent the recurrence of toxemia and acute disease states, a person must discover what they are doing wrong and change their life. Often as not this means elimination of the person’s favorite (indigestible) foods and/or (stress-producing) bad habits.

Welcome to the Sixth Lesson in  the

Healthy Living Newsletter.

In this lesson, we will continue to Look at the Healing  Process in our Body. In the last lesson, you saw that in an attempt to get rid of the cause of the Disease, our reactions were that the symptoms of the diseases must be controlled, resulting in greater harm than had we not interferred with the processes.

We will now take a different viewpoint in looking at how to assist in the healing Process.

**Melvin Manoo**

6. Eliminations are the Disease:

The healing process – Fasting

Fasting facilitates natural healing processes, but it is not a cure.

A cure consists in changing the manner of living to such a rational standard that full resistance and a balanced metabolism is established.

Indeed, nature, and nature only, cures; and as for crises, they come and go, whether or not there is a doctor or healer within a thousand miles.

Life is made up of crises.

This is a crisis.

To recover from a crisis is not a cure.

The tendency is usually always back to your individual standards, habits and ways, whatever you like and insist on doing, so that all crises are self-limited.

(The above clips show a discussion on natural remedies and a Forum Discussion on  ”What’s the Healthiest Diet?)

Lets go back to the digestive process again.

Lets look at the volume of work done in the digestive process.

Digestion begins in the mouth with thorough chewing.

Just the chewing and mixing of the cabbage with the saliva is by itself, a huge and unappreciated chemical effort.

Once in the stomach,

After the stomach is through churning,

Only after the carbohydrates (starches and sugars), proteins and fats have been broken down into simpler water soluble food units such as simple sugars, amino acids and fatty acids, can the body pass these nutrients into the blood thorough the little projections in the small intestines called villi.
The leftovers, elements of the food that can’t be solubilized plus some remaining liquids, are passed into the large intestine. There, water and the vital mineral salts dissolved in that water, are extracted and absorbed into the blood stream through thin permeable membranes.
Mucous is also secreted in the large intestine to facilitate passage of the dryish remains.
This is an effort.

(Intestinal mucous can become a route of secondary elimination, especially during fasting. While fasting, it is essential to take steps to expel toxic mucous in the colon before the poisons are readsorbed.  This is usually done by colonics)

The final residue, now called fecal matter, is squeezed along the length of the large intestines and passes out the rectum.

If all the digestive processes have been efficient

You can see how the body’s routine energy budget includes a very large allocation for the daily digestion and assimilation of the food you eat.

Digestion is one aspect of the body’s efforts that we can readily control; it is the key to having or losing health.

I am sure this has been an exhilarating experience.  You probably are wondering, “Why didn’t my doctor tell me this before?”

7.  How Fasting Helps the Healing Process

We have all heard the hygienic maxim that the doctor does not heal, the medicines do not heal,

This cannot be overstated, but unfortunately it is a most un-understood statement. 
For some reason, we seem to feel that we know whats best for our bodies.  If it were so, then we could have ordered our brains to work better, and read other people’s minds.  But we can’t.

The Healing process takes Energy.

It was mentioned previously that about one-third of your entire energy consumption goes into processing food in the alimentary system.  The rest goes into normal metabolic and physical or mental activities.  Healing takes energy.  We cannot normally control how our body allocates these energy resources, but Digestion is one aspect of the body’s efforts that we can readily control, it is the key to having or losing health.

Fasting does just that.

To whatever degree food intake is reduced the body’s digestive workload is proportionately reduced and it will naturally, and far more intelligently than any physician could order, redirect energy to wherever it decides that energy is most needed. A fasting body begins accessing nutritional reserves (vitamins and minerals) previously stored in the tissues and starts converting body fat into sugar for energy fuel. During a time of water fasting, sustaining the body’s entire energy and nutritional needs from reserves and fat does require a small effort, but far less effort than eating. A fasting body uses about five percent of its normal daily energy budget on nutritional concerns rather than the 33 percent it needs to process new food.  Thus, water fasting puts something like 28 percent more energy at the body’s disposal. This is true even though the water faster may feel weak, energyless.

When you are fasting, you may be concerned about the weakness, and lack of energy. This should happen.

A great deal of the body’s energy will go toward

Only after most of the healing has occurred does a faster begin to feel energetic again. Don’t expect to feel anything but tired and weak.

(Here are some short clips on fasting. They are just about 1 min each)

Fasting also triggers rapid weight loss.

In the strict dietary sense, fasting is the complete abstinence from all substances except pure water, in an environment of total rest.
Juice fasting, a popular variation, is abstinence from all food and drink except water and fresh vegetable and fruit juices.
A modified fast includes small amounts of solid food, usually raw fruits as well as raw and steamed vegetables.

Detoxification is a normal body process of eliminating or neutralizing the toxins resulting from biochemical functions through the colon, liver, kidneys, lungs, lymph nodes, and skin.
Fasting precipitates this process because, when food no longer enters the body, the latter turns to its fat reserves for energy.

During a fast, energy is diverted away from the digestive system, since there is no food to mobilize it, towards the metabolism and immune system. This is one reason why animals stop eating when they are wounded, and the reason why we feel less hungry when we’re sick.

The only exception to this would be a person who

When one experienced faster finds himself getting “run down” or catching a cold,

After a day of water fasting

By the end of five or six days on water, it is estimated that from 40 to 50 percent of the body’s available energy is being used for healing, repair and detoxification.  

There is so much more about fasting and the healing effects of fasting, that it may take a few months well to get the real gist of the topic.  However, this is just the tip of the iceberg.  I would  recommend that if  you are interested in fasting, that you do so under supervision.  Your body will react differently depending on your past history of abuse. Before undertaking such, you should prepare yourself  for the fasting process.  One can use vegetarian diet to detoxify the body.

Welcome to the Eight Lesson in  the

Healthy Living Newsletter.

This is the final Lesson.  It may be the last episode in the series, but I hope that it is not the final one for you.  I believe that what you have learnt here should be the start of an entierly new perspective on how you view your Health.  I want you to pay particular attention to this part of the MiniCourse.  This is the most important step at helping the body on its path to recovery.

8.What Is Constipation?

You may think that because you have a bowel movement almost every day, accomplished without straining, you are not constipated.

The most surprising thing to novice fasters is that repeated enemas or colonics during fasting begins to release many pounds of undeniably real, old, caked fecal matter and/or huge mucus strings.

The first-time faster can hardly believe these were present. These old fecal deposits do not come out the first time one has enemas or necessarily the fifth time.

And all of them will not be removed by the tenth enema.

Over the course of extended fasting or a long spell of light raw food eating with repeated daily enemas, or the use of specially formulated herbal medications, amazing changes do begin to occur.

It seems that no one who has eaten a civilized diet has escaped the  formation of caked deposits lining the colon’s walls, interfering with its function.

This material does not respond to laxatives or casually administered enemas.

Anyone who has not actually seen (and smelled) what comes out of an “average” apparently healthy person during colonics will really believe it could happen or can accurately imagine it.

Often there are dark black lumpy strings, lumps, or gravel, evil smelling discs shaped like sculpted hemispheres similar to the pockets lining the wall of the colon itself.

These discs are rock-hard and may come out looking like long black braids.

There may also be long tangled strings of gray/brown mucous, sheets and flakes of mucous, and worse yet, an occasional worm (tape worm) or many smaller ones.

Once confronted however, it is not hard to imagine how these fecal rocks and other obnoxious debris interfere with the proper function of the colon.

They make the colon’s wall rigid and interfere with peristalsis thus leading to further problems with constipation, and interfere with adsorption of nutrients.

Our modern diet is by its “de-nature”, very constipating. In the trenches of the First World War, cheese was given the name “chokem ass” because the soldiers eating this as a part of their daily ration developed severe constipation. Eaten by itself or with other whole foods, moderate amounts of cheese may not produce health problems in people who are capable of digesting dairy products.

But cheese when combined with white flour becomes especially constipating.

White bread or most white-flour crackers contain a lot of gluten, a very sticky wheat protein that makes the bread bind together and raise well. But white flour is lacking the bran, where most of the fiber is located. And many other processed foods are missing their fiber.

Recapping Digestion

In an earlier chapter I briefly showed how digestion works by following food from the mouth to the large intestine.

To fully grasp why becoming constipated is almost a certainty in our civilization a few more details are required.

Food leaving the small intestine is called chyme, a semi-liquid mixture of fiber, undigested bits, indigestible bits, and the remains of digestive enzymes.

Chyme is propelled through the large intestine by muscular contractions

The large intestine operates on what is dubbed the “chew-chew train” principle, where the most recent meal you ate enters the large intestine as the caboose (the last car of a train) and helps to push out the train engine (the car at the front that toots), which in a healthy colon should represent the meal eaten perhaps twelve hours earlier.

The muscles in the colon only contract when they are stretched, so it is the volume of the fecal matter stretching the large intestine that triggers the muscles to push the waste material along toward the rectum and anus.

Eating food, which is lacking fiber greatly, reduces the volume of the chyme and slows peristalsis. But moving through fast or slow, the colon still keeps on doing another of its jobs, which is to transfer the water in the chyme, back into the bloodstream, reducing dehydration.

So the longer chyme remains in the colon, the dryer and harder and stickier it gets.

That’s why once arrived at the “end of the tracks” fecal matter should be evacuated in a timely manner before it gets to dry and too hard to be moved easily.

Some constipated people do have a bowel movement every day but are evacuating the meal eaten many days or even a week previously.

Most hygienists believe

that when the colon becomes lined with hardened fecal matter it is permanently and by the very definition of the word itself, constipated.

This type of constipation is not perceived as an uncomfortable or overly full feeling or a desire to have a bowel movement that won’t pass.

But it has insidious effects.

Usually constipation delays transit time, increasing the adsorption of toxins generated from indigestion of food; by coating and locking up significant portions of colon it also reduces the adsorption of certain minerals and electrolytes.

Sometimes, extremely constipated people have almost constant runny bowels because the colon has become so thickly and impenetrably lined with old fecal matter that it no longer removes much moisture. This condition is often misinterpreted as diarrhea.

The large intestine’s most important task is to transfer water-soluble minerals from digested food to the blood.

When a significant part of the colon’s surface becomes coated with impermeable dried rigid fecal matter or mucus it can no longer assimilate effectively and the body begins to experience partial mineral starvation in the presence of plenty.

It has been observed from dozens of cases that  when the colon has been effectively cleansed the person has a tendency to gain weight while eating amounts of food that before only maintained body weight, while people who could not gain weight or who were wasting away despite eating heavily begin to gain.

And  problems like soft fingernails, bone loss around teeth or porous bones tend to improve.
