The Secrets to Good Health

by Terry Chamberlin

Angie was recently bemoaning the frequency of the occurrence of what we call “clinic people”.

These are folks who PM us and say something like this: “I have high blood pressure, hypothyroid and diabetes. I’m exhausted, frequent headaches, sleep all the time [or can’t sleep at all], depressed, can’t hardly think and have only two bowel movements per week. I have this terrible skin rash, bad body odor and bad breath and my teeth are falling out of my head. Please help me.”

Please understand, I am not exaggerating, we really do get lists of issues like that, and frequently.

But here’s the problem: First, it is highly unlikely that this person has high BP, because the doctor who told them that uses a definition of high BP that is irrelevant to real life, and artificially lower than is actually healthy. The assumption that all people everywhere at all times should have the same BP, from a 250-lb athlete to a 90-year old granny to a 10-year old child borders on sheer idiocy.

If you are walking in the woods and you see a bear, your BP will spike from the pressure of fear, as your body prepares to run like heck or to fight to protect itself. What about the daily fear of being fired by a tyrannical boss, or the daily fear of being abandoned by an unfaithful mate (or the constant arguments) or the pressure at school? What about the reaction of the body to receiving 1/10th the nutrition it needs everyday, so that it must digest itself to get what it must have to survive (let alone be actually healthy)? Could those things affect your BP? (The answer is yes.) But the doctor pays no attention to things like that. He asks no questions about your life. He’s not there to improve your health. He’s not even interested in doing that. He’s there to treat your symptoms. Period. So it doesn’t actually matter to him what is causing them. (Yeah, yeah, a few doctors aren’t like that, but most are.)

The “hypothyroid” issue is merely the thyroid operating in a substandard way because it isn’t getting what it needs (adequate nutrition & iodine/selenium).

The word, “diabetes”, simply means your body isn’t metabolizing sugars efficiently because it too is essentially slowly starving plus needing to handle far more sugar than it was designed to. So the doctor gives you insulin, which, over time, causes your body to stop making it (it doesn’t need to; you are taking it daily), which changes you from a type-2 diabetic to a type-1 diabetic (where the body gives up on even trying to make insulin at all). Thank you doctor for that one!

The headaches, depression, fatigue, insomnia, skin rash, body odor, bad breath and decaying teeth are actually all just symptoms of poor health.

The doctor views everything as a condition, a disease with a name, so he can respond to it right from a book and not need to spend any time looking for other factors that might be behind it. Plus, he has a toxic drug for each symptom, plus the drugs that will be needed to treat the side-effects of the other drugs.

You go see a doctor, and he starts the process of slowly poisoning you to death. Literally.

Angie and I know that the underlying cause of all these symptoms is malnutrition.

People say to us all the time, “I eat a healthy diet”, and we know that’s not true at all. How do we know that? A healthy diet produces good health.

“Well”, they say, “I eat a whole-foods, plant-based diet, with no processed foods (or not much).”

Many times, they are vegetarians, or even worse, vegans, which means their bodies are starving for the absolutely essential cholesterol and saturated animal fats that a human body must have to be healthy. If you want to champion the vegan diet, don’t do it here. Your comments will be deleted. It’s not that I don’t believe in the vegan diet, it’s that I am against it.

Then, there’s the problem that modern “plant-based” foods – even organic ones – are grown in soils so much lower in minerals than was found 200 years ago that there is almost no comparison between the two. I earlier used the figure of “receiving 1/10th the nutrition it needs everyday” to describe modern foods, but it’s much lower than that. Modern foods are a shadow of what they once were.

The doctor will give you a drug for each symptom, and with that life-long, treat-the-symptom medical programming, people will want us to give them a safer, natural version of what the doctor does. “What do I take for this symptom?”

Increasingly, Angie and I throw up our hands in reaction to this, as we know that, before the supplements will help, a true, healthy diet needs to be instituted into that person’s life. Indeed, many times that’s all that is needed, but the supplements are intended to assist the food, not take its place.

What’s a “true, healthy diet”?

I have repeatedly referred in previous articles and posts to “flooding the body with nutrition” using what I call “concentrated foods”.

In my article, “Ultimate nutrition”, I define and describe ways to do that, including sprouting, fermenting and juicing. (You should search this group or our library for that article.)

Every morning, I have a big mug of organic coffee (yes, I drink coffee), brewed with at least 8 oz of colloidal silver. Into that coffee I add 150 mg of Lugol’s iodine (24 drops of 5% Lugol’s iodine), 30 drops of Concentrace liquid minerals and sweeten with Stevia (so, no sugar) and some oat milk to make it a bit creamy.

My standard smoothy contains 2 raw eggs, more Concentrace, 3 heaping tablespoons of nutritional yeast, 1/4 cup of various non-soy protein powders I have, sometimes 1/2 an avocado or coconut oil, Stevia to sweeten it, as I don’t respond well to the sugar in fruit.

These are the things I do, not necessarily what you should do (though it wouldn’t hurt you to do them!).

These ideas are not optional. They are not handy suggestions. They are essential to good health.

The smoker who wants to know how to treat their bad cough but isn’t willing to stop smoking is someone I will not waste my time with.

Natural Health is NOT about what supplements to take to treat a symptom; it’s about addressing the underlying cause, which is inadequate nutrition.

YOU CANNOT GET ENOUGH NUTRITION FOR GOOD HEALTH FROM ANY FOOD IN EXISTENCE TODAY. It must be supplemented with the generous addition of concentrated foods and the appropriate supplements.

You MUST add those items that contain extra nutrition.

There: isn’t that nice? I just gave you the secrets to good health!
