5 STEPS TO GREAT HEALTH

I say 5 steps to great health but to get to great health is not that easy. So it might take you 20 steps and years but the thing is its a journey so we are not chasing results, we are after life and life wants more life. 

All of us in some way try to stay healthy. There is no easy way to get well but there are small steps we can make toward our goal.  Each individual is uniquely made so each has to make their own steps and adjust the program that best it works for him/her. To help assist your body in getting well, below are the 5 step protocol that could help you restore your health. I search for the purest products that have live nutrients and pure ingredients without toxins and chemicals added so those are the ones I recommend.  The key is to work toward being well, trying and experimenting.  There is no one that can tell you that such and such product or certain things can restore your health even if they 100% sure not until you try it and it either will work or it wont.  Remember that nutrition is not a drug it will take time and lots of work for something to work and restore our health.

Step 1.  Get better emotionally and mentally.

Follow breathing exercises and meditation or prayer what ever you want to call it. I recently downloaded an app Calle BrainWave and I find it helpful. I use it while working or stretching. I just play it in the background and you can play it while listening to other stuff like YouTube or podcasts. It has different settings like Sleep, Relaxation, Creativity, Critical Thinking… See if you like it and if it will help you. Another step is recognize all your childhood trauma if you say you don’t have any trauma then you are definitely have it. You’ve buried it so deeply you can’t even see it. Watch Dr. Gabor Mate on YouTube talk about childhood trauma and addictions and see if you recognize yourself. The moment you can dig down and find that when you were two years old and your dad yelled at you or your mothers left you alone in the crib and you said “I am not good enough”, or “I am worthless”, or “I am a burden”, the moment you can see that and then see that you made it up, you are on your way to be free. Look and see that parents and siblings and relatives and friends did what they did. It never had anything to do with you. There is nothing wrong with you. Can you see it? Can you breath now and be ok with yourself?

Step 2. Restore an Alkaline Body pH

Minerals and vitamins should be part of your daily routine. I have heard people say I get all my nutrients from food. The only problem is you don’t know if there are any nutrients in your food unless you have tested it. Organic doesn’t mean has nutrients. We should have 90 essential minerals and nutrients and our soil maybe sprayed with 5. Most stuff is sold on the market is hybrid and hybrid veggies and fruits are not really appreciated by our bodies. It is not what our ancestors ate.   
When I studied with Dr. Bob Marshal he always told us that the first goal on the way to great health is to restore the body’s pH to the good range.  Almost all chronic illness takes place in a body that has become acidic due to the gradual depletion of its mineral reserves.
Testing Urine pH.  It has been clinically established that the urine’s pH is an accurate reflection of the whole body’s tissue pH.  The state of the body’s acid/alkaline balance can be easily measured by testing the urine using hydrazine paper (also called pH paper).  The urine pH is directly correlated to both tissue oxygen levels and soft tissue levels of minerals, such as calcium, magnesium and trace elements.  These minerals are the basic currency of exchange for literally every cell in the body.

Testing the First Morning Urine pH.  First, the first morning urine is tested to determine whether the pH is acid or alkaline (the “first morning urine” is defined as the first urination after 5 AM).  If the urine pH is acidic (a pH below 6.4) or too alkaline above 6.8, this indicates the body is in a state of physiological deregulation and distress due to lack of sufficient minerals which are needed to adequately carry out thousands of  basic cellular functions.  Therefore, our immediate goal is to restore a consistently alkaline, first morning urine pH (within the range of 6.4 to 6.6) by using fast-acting, coral minerals (which are highly ionized and easily absorbed), greens and minerals.

Testing the Evening Urine pH.  Once the pH of the first morning urine stays consistently in the alkaline range (for a period of at least 2 weeks), the next step is to begin testing the evening urine pH (best measured just before the dinner meal around 5 or 6 p.m.).

To rapidly replete and maintain soft tissue  mineral reserves, the best method that I've tried is to take HCL - I take Premier HCL. Take about 3 caps after meals. Also take enzymes. You can purchase them at your natural food store or www.swansonvitamins.com or amazon. Take freeze dried greens to alkalize your body and without any additives or sugars. I mostly get Supreme Nutrition Wild Greens. Unfortunately store bought fruit is hybrid and is too sweet. I sometimes buy it as a desert but its not the same fruit like heirloom that you can get from some old orchard. It’s best to eat fruit and vegetables in season. Cherries and berries in spring, apples, figs, peaches and grapes in the fall. Always see how your body responses to each fruit. When a person's first morning urine pH is below 6.0 and he/she presents with bone loss symptoms, usually larger amounts of calcium, magnesium and trace minerals are needed. 

 Premier Coral Complex is ideal for those who prefer to take the minerals in capsules.  It contains coral minerals (with its highly ionized calcium, magnesium and trace elements) and special mycelial mushroom extracts which naturally contain provitamin D for calcium transport into the cell.  Recommended use for adults or children (age 2 and up): 2 to 6 capsules/day.

Other minerals and vitamins that will help to assist your body in re-mineralization would be: Vitals Earth Minerals, Organically Bound Minerals and SP Green Food by Standard Process, Cataplex E2 by Standard Process, Youngevity vitamins and minerals. Dr. Wallach has a really good selection of minerals and vitamins for all ailments. My body doens’t do well with stevia and flavors so unfortunately I can not use his products except for some of the capsules. Otherwise they are good. Professional Formulas supplements are also good,.

Step 3.  Stabilize Hormone Balance

The hormone balance of the body is a complex, interactive symphony of different regulating compounds. These hormones are internal messengers which are necessary to control and regulate the body’s processes. Since chronic illness typically leads to hormonal exhaustion, the next step is to identify and support the glands which need more support to produce a sufficient amount of their hormones. Hormone deficiency can lead to global body symptoms such as sleep dysregulation, difficulty with the bowels, chronic fatigue or even inability to exercise. The most common areas which may need support are:  

Progesterone Support -

Since progesterone is a key hormone which the body uses in detoxification, the body’s progesterone levels are often depleted in chronic illness. To replete progesterone, the use of a natural progesterone cream or supplements can quickly rebuild the progesterone levels to help cellular detoxification as well as re-establishing a healthy estrogen-progesterone balance.

Progestarone and Pregnenolone support. The best stuff for hormones is Freeze dried beef organs - The good ones are Ancestral brand, Dr. Rons Ultra Pure. 

Adrenal Support - In long-term chronic illness, adrenal exhaustion is almost always present and is a key reason why many therapies fail. To help support and rebuild the adrenal glands, the use of cordyceps mushroom as a special fermented mycelial extract, is a world-wide proven success.

Nutritional Yeast. ( I use one by Foods Alive from Amazon) I add to soups and sprinkle on salads instead of salad dressing. The vitamin B complex is needed for adrenal hormone synthesis as well as for production of energy and Phase II liver detoxification in the body. The best source of natural B complex vitamins and glutathione is primary grown nutritional yeast (grown on molasses, not petrochemical sludge). It is an ideal functional whole food (at a low price) with a rich, nutty flavor that can easily be added to foods.
Premier AdrenaVen - Nutraceutical Adrenal Formula.  Comprehensive Adrenal Supprot. Also my clients reported it helped with allergies.

Doctors Research Simply Adrenal - This is 200mg per tablet of bovine adrenal tissue.

Dr. Rons Adrenal Gland and Adrenal Cortex.

Thyroid Support: Freeze dried thyroid gland from grassfed cows. Many companies sell it. Also Standard Process has really good products for thyroid and adrenal glands,

Pituitary/Hypothalamic Support  

Premier Chya Pro: Amla-based Tonic (51-herbal formula). In long-term chronic illness, the pituitary gland and its interactive pathways with the hypothalamus are often exhausted, which can lead to global dysregulation of the body’s hormone production. In these cases, many are non-responsive to any type of therapy since even the body’s basic hormone pathways are “off line.” The use of an Amla-based 51-herb tonic (grade 10, India-source) can supply abundant phytochemical resources to dramatically re-establish hormone competence. This ancient 51-herbal tonic has a centuries-old track record in many countries for normalizing the pituitary/hypothalamic axis by stabilizing the endocrine meridians and repleting mineral stores. 

Step 3.  Identify and Eliminate Exposure To Toxic Compounds  
(Replace toxic personal care products with non-toxic ones; detoxify the body)  

The next step is to identify and eliminate the most apparent inducers and promoters of chronic illness for each person. So great is the exposure and bio-accumulation of toxic chemicals, such as heavy metals, pesticide/insecticide residues and industrial chemicals, that we typically include “detox” nutritional support, individualized for each person.

a) Heavy Metal Detoxification. 
To help cleanse heavy metal deposits from the brain, kidney and bowels, key support agents are:

Detox ND (Chlorella grade A, Japanese, ocean-grown source cultured in probiotic)

Premier Greens - a super food and a great detoxifyer

b) Pesticide/Insecticide Detoxification. To help eliminate the stubborn residues of pesticides, insecticides and other chemical toxins, a key support agent is:

Premier Chem Detox  (Proven Immune Modulator and Chemical Detoxifier*)

c) Kidney Support. During detoxification, this excellent nutraceutical agent for kidney support has become one of our key recommendations:

Premier RenaVen
Quantum-State Nutrients to Strengthen the Kidneys.* RenaVen is the result of our relentless research to find the ideal phytonutrient synergists which, when combined together, provide extraordinary support for the kidney and kidney meridian.*

Uro-Kid Support is a 100% Food supplement that is intended to supply nutrients to support healthy kidney and urinary system function. 

Dr. Rons - Freeze dried Kidney

d) Liver/Gallbladder Detoxification.
For powerful liver detoxification (both Phase I and II), see the Liver/Gallbladder Flush.

Liver/Gallbladder Support: Premier HepatoVen, Liva Detox and Support, GB Support, Gallbladder ND, Reishi Royale, Deltanol, Premier SOD Sublingual (superoxide dismutase), Premier Turmeric, Premier Propolis Complex, Premier Digest,  Doctors Reserch Digesty-Pan, Dr. Ron's - Freeze dried liver gland.

Functional Foods For Liver/Gallbladder Support: Premier Medi-Aminos Rice Source, , Lean Body Whey Protein Blend, Nutritional Flakes. 

e) Non-Toxic Body Care Products. What you put on your skin, you are actually eating, since the ingredients are typically absorbed through the skin into systemic circulation. Therefore, a critical step for each person is to discontinue all toxic body care products and replace them with 100% toxic-free, body-friendly products, including both skin care and hair care products. 

Examples of Toxic Ingredients To Avoid:  SLS (sodium lauryl sulfate), methyl paraben, propylene glycol, fragrance, peg-8 stearate and most ingredients with chemical names
  f)  Non-Toxic Cleaning Products. Once again, whatever you touch or breathe, has the potential to be absorbed into the body and bio-accumulate if the body’s detox pathways are inadequate. The best course of action is to avoid chemical-based cleaning products and use 100% toxic-free cleaning agents. g) Protection From Electromagnetic Pollution.  Although unseen, electromagnetic field (EMF) pollution is considered to be the   most   dangerous   type  of  pollution  today.  Because  many  types  of manmade EMFs can disrupt every known biological  system in the body, such as the proper functioning of the hormonal system or the generation of brain waves, the use of EMF protection devices is critical. EMF Protection Devices.  Q-tape, Dragonite, Tektite, Prosperity Coin. 

Step 4.  Eliminate Chronic Infections

(Using targeted nutraceutical support and anti-infective compounds)

The next step is to identify and eliminate all chronic infections. These are often difficult to detect because they may be subclinical (i.e. when infection is chronic, the common infectious responses are often absent, such as inflammation, fever, sore throat, etc.).  Many therapies have ultimately failed due to the failure to eradicate these underlying chronic infections. The key following herbal nutraceuticals can greatly assist in support and eradication of chronic infections:  

Premier Colostrum: World-class immune support, including anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-fungal factors.
