Richest Yet Sickest

1 in 3 will do cancer
1 in 3 are considered obese
2 in 3 are considered overweight
1 in 5 have allergies
1 in 15 have asthma
1 in 17 have type 11 diabetes
and the list goes on....

What's the old saying? Look left, look right and if it's not them it's you? This list of illness makes me wonder what's become of us, within our families, extended families, friends, and even our work environment. It's unacceptable to think that between you and two friends, one will have cancer.

We are the richest and the sickest, we invest (?) billions of dollars into medical research and here we are with illness on the rise.

The truth is we all sick people, in fact, take heart issues, we all know someone with a pacemaker or who's had a heart attack. Did you know heart failure is the major cause of death in our country, over 500,000 heart operations a year.

Most of us are too busy living our lives to realize the depth to which our food has become degraded. We accept that our water is certainly over treated with chemicals, somehow we justify that it's safe. And we are deluding ourselves that bottled water is pure, and take out food can be healthy..

Our body is 70% water, our blood is 96% water, we are mostly water, i.e., we live in a water filled environment, it's not a far reach to think we should be concerned with the pH of our water!
Many of us chemically induce our swimming pools to a neutral pH because if we didn't it would discolor and grow micro organisms. We naturally need to induce our bodies to a neutral pH or the same thing will happen and the consequence is first symptoms, chronic symptoms,then dis-ease and diagnosis..

Hydration is primary, water is a carrier, allow it to carry lemon juice, lime juice, green foods, better yet an alkalizer like Prime pH from InnerLight. Then hydrate a quart a day for every 50 pounds of body weight. (If your body is 100 pounds, you are 70 pounds of water, note that every quart of water weighs 2 pounds, so to give yourself a visual, for every hundred pound of body weight you should visualize 35 quarts of water, 200 lbs = 70 quarts.) We must first keep our level of water at or above 70%. so we need to hydrate, and we also must exchange the water with some regularity..

Supplementation is the difference between the nutrition your body requires and the nutrition you are receiving from your diet. Food needs to be easily digested and highly nutritious so our body can uptake the nutrition, break it down and send it through the blood stream where it becomes cellular nutrition - or we need to supplement with cellular nutrition like SuperGreens which is comprised of 49 different vegetations in particle form..

We need to teach our children, have them carry their own polycarbonite water bottle filled with pure water everywhere they go. My children carried it in the house and out of the house for 2-3 months before their hydration levels were where they needed to be. I have three children without allergies, asthma, weight issues, or any another medical diagnosis. They have been supplementing as long as they remember - we learned early our bodies require more than our food supply can offer and better than our water supply can offer..

Sometimes the sheer numbers of sick people who I meet take me over the top and I want to shout from the highest building that "if not us, who?" is going to make the changes we need to make? We need to become more focused on serving ourselves because what we ingest determines the state of our health..

Recently someone was convicted they were ill because of their weak "genetics", I explained my domino theory - the first 10 dominos that fall when we begin to go upside down on our acidity are symptoms we all share; tiredness, digestive issues, maybe heartburn or sleep issues, leg cramps, maybe cold hands and feet, headaches, weight gain, etc., but as we become more acidic more dominos fall, and eventually we get to the "genetic dominos"..

And the moral to that story is pH Balance - the less dominos that fall, the less likely you'd even be talking about your genetics..

Happy Bewitching Week Everyone!.
