How I Got Started in Natural Hygiene

Unfortunately for many of the people who are now living a natural hygienic lifestyle, starting off was not by choice. Many of the people I have met who live within the laws of nature were very sick at one point in their life and they seeked out a way to heal themselves.

Of course my path to natural hygiene was similar to these people. I found myself with a very serious illness and the usual channels for help were all roadblocks. I saw so many doctors and specialists that I can't even guess at the number.

All of them were the same. They all gave me the same prepared speech that they give to anybody who is asking. "There is no cure to your disease and we hope that some new drug will come out that will help". I still remember one of the first doctors who I saw and I asked him how long did he think it will be before there is a cure.

His answer was ten years at least. Well now it is 25 years later and there still is no sign of anything close to a cure. For those who do not know what I am talking about, it was ulcerative colitis that I had back then. The name of the illness is not important because it is just another self-inflicted fake illness that nobody ever need to suffer from.

All cases, that is 100% of all cases of ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease are due to a very poor selection of food and lifestyle. To try to attempt to cure this is quite insane. It's like sticking a knife in your finger every morning and wanting a cure to the pain and bleeding.

All one needs to do is to stop sticking the knife in and soon enough, in a matter of days the pain and bleeding will stop forever. This is the same for UC and CD. Stop sticking the knife in your gut with the poor selection of food and start to love yourself and respect yourself by treating your body as an important part of your life instead of as a dumpster where anything and everything that your eyes can see is considered food.

That is my story on how I entered into the natural hygiene world. After I saw how amazing it worked for healing my colon up to the point where it is way better today than even before I ever had ulcerative colitis, I decided to research it much deeper. I also noticed how I get sick so much less often. I used to get terrible sore throats at least 3 or 4 times a year. I would have a high fever and could not go to work for at least 3 or 4 days.

Since 2005, I have not had one occurence of a sore throat and I had only 1 short lived cold since the middle of 2009. People all around me are sick and coughing and are talking about how they got it from someone and then passed it to someone else. This is absurd as I am right next to these people all day long and I take no extraordinary precautions to avoid getting sick. I never get what they all have.

I do not use any of the anti-bacterial crap that they pass out at work. I don't cover my mouth when people cough or sneeze. I simply wash my hands with plain water when I go to the bathroom. I do not avoid touching my eyes or nose to avoid getting sick.

Besides all of the above, I also feel much more energy and light. I never feel like I ate too much or get indigestion. I wake up refreshed every day and just get off of the bed and get dressed and go start the day. I never use drugs like everyone else who drinks caffeinated drinks like coffee or tea.

Most every day I am just as wide awake at the end of the day as I was at the start. I don't need any energy drinks at 3p.m. to get me through the day. I find that my skin complexion is much better also. I used to get pimples very often and they would stick around for weeks. Now I rarely get them and when I do they are gone in a couple of days.

One of the best things that happened to me is that I also used to get depressed on occasion. Once in a while I would have a long lasting depression, sometimes for weeks. Since 2005, I have not been depressed at all and feel that I am totally in control of my emotions. I do get sad from time to time but these feelings are usually due to events in my life and I get over them as fast as they come.

Another important change is my weight. Not that I ever had a weight problem before but now I can eat as much food as I feel like and I never gain or lose weight. I reached a stable weight and it just stays where it is. So many people have the mid-life belly gut but my body looks like that of a teenager. I am older than most of the people I see who are overweight, obese or just have a huge gut. I don't need to do anything to stay fit.

Of course I do try to maintain a regular exercise program as often as possible. When I find the time I will jog for about 4 or 5 miles. I also use a weight room when I have access to one. Sometimes I just do some situps or pushups, or even jumpingjacks.

The best part of natural hygiene is trusting your body. I never need to have a conventional checkup from a doctor because they have no idea what health is. They will tell me that my x is too high or my y is too low but there is no reason whatsoever to have x or y in any special range if you are getting all the nutrition needed and you are getting all the other required natural inputs such as sunshine, fresh air, exercise, sleep, and the rest. When things start to feel wrong I know it and I will adjust my lifestyle appropriately.

Now I allow my body to guide me to health. If I feel I need some extra sleep, I go to sleep an hour early. If I feel I need more exercise I will go on a long fast walk for an hour or two. When I feel I need a break from the routine I will go on a vacation to a secluded spot in nature to get a dose of peace and tranquility.

Give it a try now before you find that you are forced to do it. Start on a natural hygiene path and enjoy life the way it was meant to be enjoyed.

Why Vegans Appear to be Manipulative

This post is not really related to Natural Hygiene but in a way it is because the best diet for natural hygiene is a strictly vegan diet. Many vegans and vegan groups are criticized for being too manipulative or even extreme.

Ask any typical meat eater and they often say that they would be interested in hearing what vegans have to say but that they find them too extreme in their politics and tactics.

Certainly some of the vegan organizations are too extreme. Some will go to any extent to make their point, even to do illegal activities. I do not support doing anything illegal to make a point regardless of the situation.

The reason why vegans and vegan organizations must be very forceful and do activities that seem to be extreme is because they are speaking for those who can not speak for themselves. If animals had the ability to speak the entire animal products industry will cease to exist.

An analogy of this is like having a large family and many of your family members are either mentally retarded or unable to speak or communicate the way other humans do. They can not tell anyone when they are happy or sad, when they feel comfortable or feel pain, when they are scared or worried, etc.

The animals of this planet are exactly like this, they are a living breathing and feeling beings but they do not communicate in human languages. Each animal has it's own developed mental and physical strengths which it needs for the environment it evolved into. Humans have their own strengths which are different than the ones of animals.

These beings share this planet with us and are here for other purposes than to be a commodity for human industry and entertainment. If they can not speak for themselves then someone who is human must speak for them.

These humans who speak for animals are called vegans. Before laws were changed allowing slaves to be free, these humans were treated the same as animals are today, eventhough they could speak and communicate with others.

Vegans are not too extreme or manipulative at all, in fact all people who abuse animals by wearing their skins, eating parts of them, or are abusive in any other way to animals need to listen to the spokespeople of the animals.

Just like the trend in laws for protecting humans continues to evolve so will the trend protecting human's cousins, the animals.

Lots of People who Read this Know What 811 is...

If you have read this blog before then you most likely know what the diet which is commonly referred to the 811 diet is. It's shorthand for the diet described in the popular book by Douglas Graham called "The 80/10/10 Diet".

I know of a few people who read the book but they completely ignored the information like it was written in a language that they did not understand.

Nobody on this planet is immune to suffering. Every single human can get a heart attack at a moment's notice and the statistics clearly state that at least one third of these people will die from that heart attack.

Heart attacks kill more people annually than any other cause of death. Most people's first sign that something is wrong is a heart attack.

If you are in the unlucky group of the one third that die from the heart attack then your first sign of heart problems is death. Now does that sound like something you would like?

I don't know about you but I would rather bypass (no pun intended) the entire issue and worry about other health issues than that.

The information about the 811 diet is like a lifejacket. If you store the lifejacket in the closet and don't take it when on the boat, you might as well not have it at all.

If you read the information about 811 and decided to simply ignore it then you might as well not know about the information in the first place. Just play ignorant and take your chances.

It's shameful to see so many people suffer from so many dis-eases when nearly all of them are completely avoidable. I hope you will take action and avoid these dis-eases.

Talk About Strange!

Here is something very funny about people. I suppose it depends on where in the world you live, but here in the United States of America most of the people are brainwashed to believe that some magical man named Jesus was born some 2000+ years ago and he was able to do things nobody can do, all the way to actually dying and then coming back to life.

If you don't think that is strange or weird, then you must be one of the ones who are brainwashed. Any logical sane person who has any sense at all can see that the stories about Jesus are basically made up fairytales. Nobody who was born a human has ever died and came back to life. Still the vast majority of people here not only believe the nonsense about their religion(s) but they even try to make others believe what they believe.

The truly amazing thing is that few of these people who really believe in these crazy stories about their religion don't believe that the human body, their own body is capable of healing itself. They all seem to believe that the only way to heal their ills is by seeing a doctor or a nurse and then taking some prescribed medicine to heal themselves. The body would never be able to heal without the intervention of medicine and doctors.

If I meet someone who is suffering terribly with easy to reverse lifestyle diseases such as diabetes and the like and I explained to them that they need to modify their lifetsyle in order to reverse their disease, they look at me as if I am a crazy fool. The next day they will sit in a building where a man will get up in front of them and say that Jesus came back to life for them and they won't have a second thought that everything they said was 100% true.

How on earth can things ever return to the way they were when humans lived according to the laws of nature?

Definition of Irony

It's been a while since I last posted here but with the change in season which is due this week I thought it was time to ad to this blog.

I was just surfing around online and I found this site: here which is a large company in Israel which manufactures home soda pop machines. Their first page has a big reference to the Susan G Koman charity. They say that they support this charity.

The Susan G Koman charity is to support the fight against breast cancer. Most everybody on this planet will agree that this is a good cause. People who follow my blog and who understand natural hygiene know that this entire idea about fighting cancer is complete bogus.

As I mentioned in other posts, cancer is the natural reaction of the body to the terrible treatment that it is getting from it's owner. In fact getting cancer from overindulging in toxins is like getting pregnant from having unprotected sexual intercourse. Why on earth would someone want to fight getting pregnant from unprotected sexual intercourse?

It's the way the body was designed to react to this behavior. Cancer is the same, it is the way the body tries to protect itsef from further harm. It is the last defense. There is no point in trying to fight this, that is why there was never a cure to cancer and there will never be one.

The only way to fight cancer is to avoid getting it. Similarly we can avoid pregnancy by avoiding getting pregnant. This would be by abstaining from sexual relations or to use some proven prevention method such as condoms or other forms.

The entire pretext of the Susan G Koman foundation is already way out of touch with reality but one of the known causes of cancer, including breast cancer is the use or artificial additives and processed foods. Soda is probably one of the main culprits in this area. Women who drink lots of soda probably are at a higher risk of getting breast cancer than those who do not indulge in this terrible habit but with all other behaviors being equal.

Having a company that sells a product to make soda in the home sponsoring the Susan G Koman foundation is like McDonald's having a hospital for Children, wait a minute, McDonald's does have a hospital for children...so it's not as farfetched as you think. Another analogy is the tobacco companies contributing to the lung foundation.

This is total lunacy and a huge irony. This is the world that we live in!

What Do Blood Tests Show?

I suppose I thought of this topic now because as the summer fades into fall in years past I used to constantly get very tired. This was not the usual every day tiredness. I used to get so tired that I would actually fall asleep right on the floor.

This all happened when I was a child. In order for the medical doctors to diagnose that was wrong with me, they would take a lot of blood tests. I was like a pin cushion when I was in my early part of life. They would have me come back to the hospital at least once every 3 or 4 weeks for more of these tests.

Due to all this I eventually became fearful of needles and blood tests. To this day I can't stand having one of these tests unless I lie down while they do it.

That is not the point of this post. In fact the point is that a blood test has very little meaning. Sure, it shows what elements are in the blood at a certain point in time.

The test will show what certain cell counts were like at the exact time the needle was inserted. In fact who knows what the body is really doing when the needle comes in contact with the blood. Maybe the composition of the blood changes very rapidly and the readings are not what the real readings should be.

What does the test really show? Obviously there are some readings that will stay in a certain range no matter what. These readings might have some value but if they are outside the range there might be an explanation for it. It might have nothing to do with health issues at all. The readings might be the way they are just because the person is anxious or there might be some metabolic activity that is going on just at the time the test is taken.

A good analogy of a blood test is that it is like taking a photograph of the sky right now and using the picture to predict what the weather will be like in one or two months' time. Does that make any sense to you? Do you think that the weather can be predicted in one or two months by taking a picture of the sky right now? I highly doubt that there is any relationship between the sky right now and the weather in one or two months.

This is very true but still we all rush to the hospitals and the doctors willing to give them some blood and we believe that the results are the golden standard information about our health. What a waste of money and a total waste of worry for those few that see issues with their picture.

Of course there are some things that can be found but there are many better ways to discover these issues than with an intrusive test like a blood test. Just look at yourself in the mirror. Do you look and feel healthy and happy? Are you enjoying life? Do you eat healthy and exercise?

Answer the above questions and you'll know if you are healthy or not. If not, stick with the laws of nature and things will change for the better.

Does This Make Sense?

It's August 2011 already and the summer is soon going to fade to fall and then winter. I was thinking about the way most people behave and I wanted to post about it.

Since I started on this path to health about 5 years ago I started to feel a new sort of confidence in myself and my body. I seem to be better able to understand the workings of my body and how it is able to take care of itself.

I know to most people this sounds absurd but I do believe in natural hygiene and allowing nature to take care of itself. I think we all just need to step aside and let our body do what it needs to do and we need to patiently wait for the results.

My diet is comprised of lots and lots of fresh ripe and raw fruit, but the rest of the people in the world eat very differently. Most of these people wouldn't even consider trying to eat 1 meal of fruit ever in their entire life.

The part that I find difficult is that every one of these people regularly visit their doctors and often visit hospitals. When they see a doctor and the doctor recommends that they take an invasive test, such as a colonoscopy or something similar, they almost always will accept the doctor's recommendations.

Eating 1 meal of fruit in their life is difficult, disgusting, and unheard of but going to a hospital to have a stranger shove a huge tube up your butt and examine the inside of your colon is absolutely fine. The risk of death by perforation and having other side effects and complications are real for the colonoscopy. The risks involved in eating fruit are really not very high.

This is just one example of the absolute absurdidty I see in the world. There are so many other examples that I do not have the time to list. I will tell you one thing however, I much rather eat fruit all day than ever visit a doctor or a hospital. I can not accept that these insane invasive procedures can be healthy to people. It's always best to prevent illness by taking proper care of yourself instead of living on the tightrope and hoping that you don't fall off.

Using the traditional means to stay healthy is insane. Staying healthy by living correctly and according to nature is the only way to go.
