In this day and age of modern science and high tech, people seem to be exercising more and watching what they eat but why does it seem like more and more people are suffering from cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and a myriad of autoimmune disorders like fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis, chronic fatigue syndrome, etc.
Many people seem to think that if they follow the mainstream health trends, eat right, exercise and look good then they are healthy. However, many of the health trends are unfortunately not based on science and good research. For instance, it is believed by many nutritional experts that fish oil is good for you. However, Dr. Brian Peskin from MIT, had analyzed the thousands of research for fish oil and found that many of the researches were flawed and those that were good don’t suggest fish oil as a good supplement for our bodies. He later discovered that parent essential oils were extremely beneficial to the heart, body and brain compared to fish oil. In fact, those who switched from fish oil to parent essential oil had a significant improvement in their health. He has written extensively about parent essential oil in his book, The PEO Solution.
The next big trend is probiotics. Many companies have jumped on the bandwagon to sell probiotics including all the big chain stores all around the United States including health food stores in bottles, drinks and yogurt. However, what we are not told is that they are not created equal. There are probiotics added to yogurt and many people take it after getting an antibiotic treatment which essentially wipes out all the bad bacteria in the body as well as the good ones. The probiotics in yogurt are useless since they are pasteurized and the process kills the bacteria. Other probiotics get destroyed by other stomach acid and don’t make it to our gut. It is important to use one that can survive and make it to the gut to contribute to the flora of our gut. The one that I use that seem to be quite effective and noticeable is called Thrive and is readily available on Amazon.com. There are about 18 probiotic strains of bacterias that are good for you. One highly regarded nutritionist I spoke with told me that it is a good idea to rotate the types of bacteria we introduce into our system.
Despite the benefits some people have found with shelf or refrigerated types, Anthony William, Medical Medium, has written that the best place to find probiotics is in fresh, living food like sprouts, alfalfa, broccoli, clover, fenugreek, lentil, mustard, sunflower, kale and other seeds like them. I believe a combination approach may be a good one but getting support directly from nature is always the best.
Many nutritionist nowadays advocate eating a high protein diet and cut back on sweets including fruits. Protein is so important in our body for our muscles. skin, bones and for many our enzymes and hormones. However, Anthony William warns of the issues with eating animal based protein which is taxing on our digestive system which includes the spleen, liver and stomach. Conversely, he is a strong advocate fruits. He extols that healing powers of fruits and feels that it is a secret for longevity.
I have suffered health problems when I ate from an animal protein based diet but found greater health, harmony and peace when I consumed from a plant based protein diet. Incorporating more fruits in my body has helped me to feel better as well.
If we don’t get enough fruits, we are depriving ourselves of much micronutrients, phytonutrients and our much needed important form of glucose.
Anthony William has written extensively on the subject of healing, nutrition and the the secrets to the underlying causes of most of our major chronic illnesses like autoimmune related diseases. I highly recommend you to read his book and apply his healing principles for yourselves as well as others.His book is called Medical Medium and can be purchased from Amazon.com.
Let’s go back to my initial question about why so many people who are so called fit and doing all the right things but still get sick or have various illnesses, diseases and cancers. In the newly released movie, Heal, there was a woman who was the epitome of health and harmony. She did Yoga, ate well and juiced.She looked great but suddenly found out she had stage four liver cancer. How is this possible?
I believe that there are various factors which limits us from achieving complete harmony and health despite being fit. They are listed below:
- Toxins in the air, food ( antibiotics, hormones, additives, radiation, pesticides,chemicals, etc), flooring ( many if not most flooring has formaldehyde which may have health risk), water, etc.
- Stress
- Accumulation of toxic metals in the body like aluminum, cadmium, mercury, arsenic, bromide etc
- Epstein Barr virus
- Toxic subconscious programming
- Poor nutrition
- Poor hydration
- Poor healthy glucose intake
- Consumption of unhealthy and fat animal based protein
- Negative emotions and thinking
- Ego driven life
- Lack of sleep
- Lack of exericise
- Anger and unwillingness to forgive
This is just some of the common things that limit us from achieving health and harmony in life. Fortunately, there is hope if we can better understand how the body works.
When our bodies were created, it was designed to self-heal. Our bodies are not just our physical body but we have various levels of bodies including mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual body. At our core we are energetic beings with energetic super highways called meridians and energetic vortexes called chakras. We have mental, emotional, physical and spiritual needs. When we live in harmony with ourselves, others and the Cosmic, everything is in alignment. However, when we are stressed out living an ego driven life our harmony is thrown off by the cortisol that is produced in the body. If this is chronic, it will shut down our immune system from helping us.
Other factors that weakens our immune system include eating poorly and not consuming enough healthy protein, fruits and vegetables.
Heavy metals in the gut, liver, spleen, brain all disrupt that natural healing that normally takes place. We all have some degree of metals in our bodies through consumption of products or exposure to products. Anthony William points out that we inherit some of the metals from our parents and ancestors as well.
With the odds against us, what can we do? The best approach is a holistic approach that incorporates healthy lifestyle with eating and drinking what our body needs. Eating a plant based diet is the ideal method of eating to achieve great internal harmony. Drinking filtered water that removes all the toxins is recommended. Avoid bottled water that may contain BPA which is carcinogenic. I drink filtrated water through the Kinetico system and then convert it to alkaline water. Go organic!
Stress is probably the biggest trigger for illnesses and disease like the Epstein Barr virus which Anthony William attributes to most of the autoimmune diseases.
The best cure for stress is meditation. Doing it 20- 30 minutes a day helps to turn off the cortisol in our bodies so our immune system can work more efficiently.
Exercise, Yoga, Tai Chi or Qi Qong are excellent at helping us deal with stress and create greater harmony in the body, mind and spirit.
I have written extensively on other healthy methods to cope with stress and achieve a healthy life style filled with harmony in my two books- Dare to Imagine and Beyond Imagination.
With regards to the toxic subconscious programming many of us have since we were little kids, hypnosis and psych-k are great methods to release old toxic programs. Tapping methods are great for releasing trauma as well.
Besides a healthy lifestyle, eating good, meditating and exercising, there are a few more things which are crucial for optimal health or harmony in the body.
We need to work on our gut health and work on improving our intake of good quality probiotics.
We need to detox regularly to release the trapped metals in our bodies that we all have. They are like magnets to the Epstein Barr Virus that so many people have. They feed on the metals and their excrements and decayed bodies cause us to have an inflammatory response in our bodies and is the birthplace of many autoimmune diseases or what William Anthony calls Mystery Illnesses.
There are various detox products in the market. I take various products to detox including green barley powder, Body Solution’s Native American detox solution and a pectasol detox tablets. I also add parsley, cucumber and cilantro to my juicing and salad. Anthony William has many excellent recommendations for a very comprehensive detox and healing program.
I have been taking supplements for years with good benefits. It is best to get most of our nutrients from a good source of protein, fruits and vegetables but sometimes depending on what is going on within our bodies, we need certain supplements to better improve body functions. However, I recommend consulting with a qualified nutritionist when purchasing for supplements.
For those who want to perfect their health even more, I recommend delving into the world of herbal tonic elixirs. They address what is called the Three Treasures of China; they are the three essential energies in the body for health-Jing, Qi and Shen. The only company I recommend for these quality products is from Dragon Herbs.com. Their products are researched thoroughly and we are given the highest grade of herbs available. The store is owned by Ron Teeguarden, a Master Herbalist.
Lastly, living a life filled with love, compassion, forgiveness, kindness and service will bring the body, mind and spirit to a high state of harmony. When we learn to find our true nature and live a God Realized and Christ Conscious life then we will have reached the highest level of harmony with mankind, Mother Earth, the Cosmos and God. Such is the way and life of Yogi.
Namaste!

These are three of my most powerful crystals I have. The one on the left was taken from one of the most sacred sites of the Himalayas at an altitude of 15,500 feet. The one in the middle was started as a Lemurian seed crystal but through lots of love from a mystical woman I call Madame Q from Beyond Imagination, it grew 1000 x its original size. The one on the right is millions of years old according to a Buddhist Master. They all have some extraordinary energy and more emanating from within it. I use it during my U.U.M.M. meditation and it helps me to focus better and have mystical experiences with greater clarity.
