Our amazing Bodies

our spirit resides in a perfect machine.

at least it is designed perfectly. eons of abuse and neglect and ignorance imposed on our dna may have eroded and endangered it but the machine can still work and adjust perfectly.

we just need to give it a chance.

stop or even slow down the consumption of over-processed, chemical laden so-called food that we eat and slather on our overburdened body and give it a chance to do it's thing.

it is capable of transforming raw materials into every thing it needs to heal itself. all it needs for you to do is slow down the consumption of fake, wanna-be foods. eat as much whole unadulterated food as you can. try to focus on raw plant foods, especially greens and  start reading ingredients on your packaged foods. 

believe me, if it says "natural" or "light" on the package, it is probably anything but.

fructose and corn syrup are more highly processed and indigestible than sugar. soy is another highly processed ingredient in  so-called "health foods" that is practically indigestible. if you don't recognize the names on the ingredient list, it is probably not a food and definitely indigestible.

if it is not a whole food, the body stores it in your cells until it has time to deal with it.

the dense foods that we typically eat are very taxing on our digestive systems. the amount of food and the many combinations that we put into our stomachs at one sitting is astonishing. the body doesn't have time to assimilate all of these ingredients before we begin stuffing it again. the only time it can deal with these poisons that are stored in the pockets of our intestines and the cells of our tissues is when the stomach is empty. and we are so fooled about what actual hunger is that our stomachs are never empty. even when we wake up in the morning.

many of us wake up sluggish, tired and grouchy. as soon as we eat we feel a little better so we think breakfast is the most important meal. the fact is that during the night we are not eating and our stomach gets emptier. the body has time to deal with the poisons in it and we wake up feeling sick because these poisons are circulating in an attempt to be eliminated. it is these poisons that we ate yesterday or last week or last month or last year that are making us feel miserable. as soon as we fill our bellies again, the body has to start digesting and the poisons it was attempting to eliminate are stored again until the next attempt and we feel better. we feel normal again, i should say.

but what is normal?

is it normal for you to have headaches, body-aches, depression, sluggishness, lethargy, insomnia, anxiety, zits, rashes, constipation, diarrhea, allergies, gas, heartburn, cellulite, fat? do you think our perfect machines really need aspirin, ibuprofin, tylenol, laxatives, antacids, prescription meds just to feel normal? 

maybe food isn't the first thing you ingest in the morning to make you feel normal again. maybe it is coffee, which not only gets you going with a slight buzz, but it helps you to eliminate whatever is next in line from your bowels.  doesn't sound like such a bad thing right? maybe it isn't as bad as most of the foods we eat, but it is just one more addictive substance that we rely upon and if we don't have it we are sick and miserable. doesn't sound very desirable does it?

the medical community, the pharmaceutical and insurance companies would have you believe that all you need to feel normal again is one or more of their products. i am starting to believe these entities are invested in each other. it is in all of their best interests to keep you sick and reliant upon them. the huge food processing and manufacturing companies need you to be addicted to their products as well.

poisons are addicting. if you ingest a little daily you begin to rely on them as well and don't feel quite normal if you go a couple of days without them.
