Elements of Optimal Health Are in Your Own Hands

Elements of optimal health

The process is truly elemental. By learning how your body works and why it gets sick, you can obtain the natural vitamins, minerals, enzymes and amino acids known to reverse disease symptoms that may have otherwise been terminal.

Although the processes and systems that animate our bodies are complex, what the cells really need is
simple—both simple to understand and simple to provide.
The three elements of optimal health are the collagen/bone matrix, acid/alkaline balance and hormonal balance.

1. Collagen/bone matrix

The entire body is held together by connective tissue. About 90% of the matrix proteins are collagen, which is the most abundant protein in the body. Collagen is very strong and forms bone, cartilage, skin, and tendons.
Collagen production is dependent upon ample supplies of ascorbates. Most animals produce their own ascorbates from the food they eat, but humans,guinea pigs, fruit bats and primates do not.
Unless sufficient quantities of right ascorbates are ingested daily, the matrix becomes stiff and brittle: Skin wrinkles,backs ache, ligaments pull and the little sacs in the lungs get stiff—causing blood vessels
and arteries to crack.
Another critical factor to the production of collagen are the amino acids lysine and proline. When our bodies do not have enough vitamin C, they cannot use the amino acids lysine and proline to produce the collagen. Like ascorbates, humans must obtain lysine from dietary sources. Proline can be produced by the body but normally in inadequate quantities. Lysine and proline are essential for proper collagen formation and also to prevent cholesterol build-up in the veins.
This happens in the form of plaque. Symptoms caused by ascorbate deficiencies are traditionally
called "scurvy." The body can, for a time, manufacture enough lipoproteins from blood plasma to "patch" the arterial cracks. The patch material is commonly called "plaque." As the plaque gets thicker,
vessels and arteries can no longer flex and blood flow is restricted.

As a result, the heart rate increases. This condition is commonly diagnosed as "high blood pressure."

Over time, vessels and arteries can become so cracked that people lose blood internally, eventually resulting in a heart attack.

A diet rich in ascorbates can prevent scurvy and, to an extent, sufficient doses of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) can reverse the deficiency and other chronic conditions created by a lack of vitamin C. However ascorbic acid is only one form of ascorbate and can cause digestive discomfort when sufficient doses
are taken. Buffered mineral ascorbates (sodium ascorbate, calcium ascorbate and potassium ascorbate) can be taken daily in larger quantities without discomfort. As stated above the only substances capable of healing damaged vessels and arteries are ascorbates. The presence of buffered mineral ascorbates also prevents and/or reverses the symptoms of high blood sugar,commonly referred to as "diabetes."

1. Acid/alkaline balance

This is monitored by measuring the "pH (the symbol for hydrogen ion concentration)" which is controlled by the body's oxygen level. The body must be slightly alkaline for its cells to be properly oxygenated.
Note that without exception, people with cancer have a pH below 7.0, which means their tissues, their cells, are not being properly oxygenated.
People with a body pH over 7.4 do not have cancer because their cells and tissues are being properly oxygenated.
“Surprisingly” and contrary to western medical information,cancer is the easiest of all degenerative dis-
eases to understand and is readily reversible without dangerous drugs and surgeries.
The body constantly regulates the replacement of worn out cells while creating new cells to repair tissue damage. "Cancerous" is the term applied to cells that reproduce in an unregulated manner until
they form a tissue mass, or "tumor."
To create a cancerous cell in the lab, technicians simply withhold oxygen from a healthy cell and it becomes cancerous within a few hours. (give this some thought!) Conversely, supplying the cancerous cell with more oxygen than was withheld from it causes that cancerous cell to die within a few hours.
An individual cell cannot be cured of cancer; once cancerous, the cell must be destroyed.

Therefore the natural way of destroying cancer cells is exposing them to oxygen. Increasing the amount of oxygen available to the cells is accomplished by elevating body pH through diet and exercise.
Once cancerous cells have been destroyed,maintaining body pH at 7.4-7.5 will prevent cells from becoming cancerous.

1. Hormonal balance

The third final element is the balance between the hormone insulin and growth hormone. People with the highest levels of the growth hormone somatotrophin (STH) live the longest.
Insulin is secreted to control the rate at which the body utilizes carbohydrates. When we eat carbohydrates (especially sugars and starches), insulin is released to lower the level of sugar (glucose) in the blood. Insulin also promotes the use of glucose as an energy source for the body, promotes the storage of fat and encourages the conversion of proteins to fat for storage. STH increases the rate of protein synthesis, affects the metabolism of sodium, potassium and calcium and influences the metabolism of carbohydrates. The purpose of STH is to convert the body's available energy into bone,
muscle and tissue growth.
When we are young, our bodies have a low ratio of insulin to STH and that keeps us healthier, leaner, full of energy—and growing. The insulin encourages the body to store carbohydrates as fat while STH stimulates the burning of that fat.
Due to age and inactivity, stored carbohydrates accumulate in the form of fat. Because we are now full-grown, the hypothalamus tells the pituitary gland to release less and less STH. This causes the pancreas to produce more insulin in order to maintain proper blood sugar levels. The visible result of this hormonal imbalance is weight gain. The chronic symptoms of this imbalance is hypoglycemia. If not corrected, diabetes is the end result.

I encourage you to do your own research of the above statements; you can start with studying Drs. Otto Warburg and Linus Pauling works of inexpensive protocols to prevent or reverse chronic illnesses such as cancer.
They both were awarded Nobel Prizes.
