Introducing Brenda - a member of the Natural Health Council. "After 15 years as a clinical naturopath, I know that lack of sunshine and fresh fruits during winter months contributes to Colds and Flu. These conditions are symptoms of an underlying cause." - If you have tried and failed to recover your health – either by conventional or alternative methods, then the root cause and remedy for your ailments may have been overlooked. By learning how your body works you can take control of your recovery and escape the `Sickness Treadmill'. - Very often people have the right MOTIVATION but the wrong INFORMATION. A lot of busy people want better health, more time and energy, but they don't have the right information that will enable them to get quick and long lasting results. - There are three basic steps to achieving your goals, whether it is: - Better health - Financial independence - More leisure time or anything else - 1 Get the right information - 2 Make the right plan - 3 Take the right action - The myth about disease: It appears that most people believe that illness can strike anyone at any time and there is nothing they can do about it. It has been proved that disease can only take hold when the conditions are right and most of those conditions are under your control. - Most doctors are trained to intervene by declaring war on germs and viruses using expensive high-tech radiation machines and drugs to vanquish the enemy. This is as futile as trying to kill all the rats in a trash-infested city like London or New York. Surely the best solution would be to remove the trash. - It is this backwards teaching about health and disease that creates the confusion in people's minds. The only reason why those germs and viruses ever invade our body is because we have unwittingly created the conditions that allow them to thrive. - Initially, most health seekers are concerned with overcoming a specific health problem, using a quick fix remedy. However, in the long-run and as we get older, more health problems arise and become increasingly difficult to overcome by just using a `magic potion'. This then makes the idea of `alternative' forms of healing more attractive, because they give us a much better chance of becoming and remaining healthy into old age. - Although there are no easy answers, there are solutions that will empower, not mystify the individual who sincerely wants to be well. Reliable information is the most effective tool for those seeking to improve the quality of their life. - This information is presented for the educational and free exchange of ideas and information in relation to health and wellness. It is not intended to diagnose any physical or mental condition, or to prescribe any medicines. - Lack of sunshine and fresh foods, is one of the main causes of illness and winter depression, known as Seasonal Affective Disorder (S A D). Among health conscious people, access to sunshine, fresh fruit & vegetables plus pure living water, have always been considered crucial ingredients for a healthy lifestyle. - "Your health is your wealth." - Research has proven that disease will only take hold when the conditions are right. Maintaining the correct acid/alkaline balance (pH) is crucial for recovering and maintaining optimum health. However, in order to maintain this healthy condition, the body requires a large amount of fresh fruit and salads, with a variety of nuts and sprouted seeds and beans. - "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of the cure." - When my own health failed me, I decided to investigate what steps I could take to halt the decline. I discovered that most of my health problems were caused by an imbalance in my body pH. - ACIDOSIS: Acidosis is a chronic condition where the bloods pH (acid/alkaline balance) has been regularly upset by stress and the ingestion of too much acid forming, processed foods.

Most people know that regular exercise and fresh wholesome food, plus balance and moderation in their eating habits is essential for good health, but in order to save time, many of us are persuaded otherwise by clever advertising and the convenience of fast processed foods & snacks that contain additives - preservatives, Soya, sugar, salt, colouring, low-cal sweeteners and mono sodium glutamate (flavour enhancer). - Any keen gardener knows that plants will only thrive when the soils pH balance is right. Acid blood inhibits proper absorption of nutrients, which leads to the accumulation of undigested food residues and their putrefaction. These toxins are then recycled, resulting in blood poisoning and a build-up of plaque on the walls of the arteries and digestive tract. -

Oxidation is a continuous process both inside and outside the body – as when metal rusts or fresh food goes off. To regulate this process the body requires large amounts of mineral antioxidants, which are contained in fresh organic fruit, nuts, seeds and vegetables, however washing, preparing and eating large amounts would be very time consuming – centripetal Juicing is one way of saving time. - A centripetal juicer has a cork-screw action that compresses the pulp and preserves all the goodness – whereas centrifugal juicers tear the flesh and destroy nutrients. - The conflicting nature of dietary and lifestyle advice can be confusing in the extreme, however there is a way to bypass the confusion and ensure optimum health and longevity - by removing the build up of toxins in your blood and your digestive system - more info on request - S.A.D. is a form of depression that is common during winter months. Fortunately scientists have found a way to modify existing fluorescent tubes and compacts to produce the full-spectrum of daylight which lift's feelings of depression. Full-spectrum lights are not available in most high street shops, only through mail order companies – more info on request. -
