Being physically ill is not normal.
Besides real diseases we are subject to many that are only imaginary, for which the physicians have invented imaginary cures; these have then several names, and so have the drugs that are proper for them.
~ Jonathan Swift, Gulliver’s Travels
Listen to your body. It’s more intelligent than you are. It was designed to take care of itself, on its own, without you having to worry about it. Unfortunately, in America we’ve been given false information about what the physical Self needs to be in perfect health, and consequently, our “health care” industry is not doing its job properly. In fact, as you’ll learn from the clinical studies I’ve referenced in this chapter, most of what you are being told by government agencies and mainstream nutritionists is actually the opposite of what you should be doing to stay healthy. The Next Human will reform the defective system that is currently in place so that a more holistic, natural, nutrition-based, preventive, and drug-free paradigm of health care can become readily available to the masses.
In America and most of the Western World, we don’t have a health care system. We have a disease care system. This cockeyed, drug-based, dangerously upside-down approach to healing the intelligent body, exists primarily because our medical doctors are not taught the appropriate amount of holistic healing modalities, preventive or alternative medicine, proper nutrition, detoxification, and stress-reduction techniques necessary for the rejuvenation and healing of the physical Self. Primarily, medical professionals are educated on how to treat disease using drugs and/or surgery, and that’s it. Subsequently, these are the two options that insurance companies cover.
The writer is fully aware that his message is not orthodox;
but since our orthodox theories have not saved us,
we may have to readjust them to bring them into harmony
with Nature’s laws. Nature must be obeyed, not orthodoxy.
~Weston A. Price, Nutrition and Physical Degeneration
Here in America we are conditioned from birth to believe that disease is a perfectly natural and “normal occurrence” in the physical Self. In other words, we are made to believe that the intelligent body, which performs all of its trillions of diverse, intricate, and concurrent functions every second on its own—without any help from us—is just too damn stupid to keep itself free of disease. We don’t stop to think that maybe it’s not the body’s fault that it becomes sick in the first place. Perhaps it’s something that we are consistently and unknowingly doing to it that’s so harmful, so sabotaging, and so overwhelming to its immune system that it breaks down, allowing viruses, bacteria, parasites, and carcinogens to damage it on a cellular level. After all, if you pumped a mixture of gasoline and seawater into your car’s engine, how long do you think it would run?
The U.S. Department of Health estimates that more than 50 percent of Americans take at least one prescribed pill a day. As a result of this pill-popping insanity, one American dies every nineteen minutes from prescription drug abuse, and in 2007 there were a shocking 27,000 unintentional deaths caused by drug overdoses.(4)
Since 2008, the world has watched the remarkably creative talents of Heath Ledger, Amy Winehouse, Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, and countless others added to this sad and alarming statistic. Overdose deaths involving prescription drugs, in particular opiates, sedatives and tranquilizers, increased more than 200 percent from 2001 to 2007.(5) In fact, by 2006, overdoses of prescription painkillers alone were already causing more deaths than overdoses of cocaine and heroin combined.(6)
According to a 2003 medical report, nearly 784,000 people in the United States die every year from conventional medicine mistakes.(7) Of these, at least 106,000 are from adverse reactions to prescription drugs. Some estimate that these numbers are closer to 200,000 because of underreported cases. The United States spends $282 billion annually on deaths due to medical mistakes, which is a conservative estimate because most medical errors are not reported.(8)

An infrared sauna detoxified the
mercury from my cellular body.
In 1999, I purchased an infrared sauna because my holistic dentist recommended it for detoxifying mercury out of my body. At the time, I was undergoing chelation therapy for mercury toxicity which was not giving me much relief and was taking a very long time to get the mercury out of my system. The mercury toxicity was caused from my amalgam dental fillings, half of which contained mercury, the most toxic element on earth, second only to plutonium. Every time I chewed my food, microscopic amounts of the mercury was released into my digestive tract and subsequently absorbed into my tissues and cells. Even though I had replaced the mercury-laden amalgams with non-toxic composite fillings, the mercury still remained inside my body, contributing to my chronic fatigue syndrome. And so I decided to take my dentist’s advice.I’ll never forget when I purchased my first infrared sauna. It was so relaxing and tranquil. I felt calm, passive, at peace. After I showered the sweat off my body, I felt cleansed, purified. I knew immediately that I had received a revolutionary healing product that could be used in the privacy of my own home on a daily basis. I called it my “rejuvenation chamber.”
Within two days after using the infrared sauna for the first time, I was so excited that I became a dealer for the product. Eight months later, I founded Sunlight Saunas (now Sunlighten) to spread news to the world about the wonderful benefits of an infrared sauna. Within four years it had become one of the fastest growing companies in America for three years in a row, making the coveted “Entrepreneur’s Hot 100″ list for 2004, 2005, and 2006.
The far-infrared (FIR) output is important for optimal detoxification of heavy metals such as mercury, cadmium, lead, and aluminum, toxic chemicals and compounds such as chlorine, arsenic, formaldehyde, and fluoride, and other harmful carcinogens. As toxins are released, the body’s anabolic state of renewal is reactivated, resulting in a boost to your immune system.
Infrared therapy has shown to be a beneficial treatment for a broad variety of conditions including chronic fatigue syndrome, heavy metal toxicity, fibromyalgia, high blood pressure, muscle and joint pain, obesity, skin disorders, poor circulation, and many others.
Upper cervical care treats
a host of diseases effectively.
Upper cervical care has been clinically proved to be effective for recurring ear infections, asthma, sinus infections, migraines, chronic fatigue, depression, epilepsy, carpal tunnel, multiple sclerosis, fibromyalgia, diabetes, digestive disorders, trigeminal neuralgia, high blood pressure, TMJ syndrome, Meniere’s disease, inner ear disorder (vertigo, dizziness, tinnitus), and many other diseases.
In 1995, I was introduced to a highly specialized and generally unknown modality of chiropractic care known as upper cervical care. At that time, X-rays were taken by a chiropractic physician of my skull and upper spine and it was revealed that I had developed an abnormal curvature of my top vertebrae known as an upper cervical subluxation. I was then shown an X-ray of a normal, healthy upper cervical spine and the difference was simply astounding.
My doctor explained that my inner ear disorder and subsequent chronic dizziness, as well as the TMJ syndrome that I had been enduring for so many years, were no doubt caused by the two car accidents I had when I was a teenager. He informed me that auto accidents are one of the major causes of vertebral subluxations, but even a fall or slight trauma to the head or back could be enough to contribute to a misalignment of the upper curvature of the spine.
The brain stem is sheathed by the atlas (C1) and axis (C2) vertebrae and when completely aligned and freed of nerve interference (from upper cervical care adjustments), the rest of the spine and skeleton will automatically realign itself (like a domino effect), thus restoring the nervous system to its optimally healthy state. As a result of this vertebral realignment, the body is allowed to regenerate tissue, repair cellular damage and heal itself naturally without drugs or surgery. An upper cervical correction is painless, non-invasive, very controlled, and gentle; there is no pulling, tugging, or jerking of the head. The adjustment allows the head, neck, and spine to return to the proper position, thus removing the interference and restoring balance to the body.
It is this inter-relationship between the upper cervical spine, the central nervous system, and the brain stem, that affects every aspect of human function, including touch, hearing, vision, mental processing, regulation of hormones, motor control, and immune system regulation. But perhaps most importantly, when properly aligned, upper cervical care helps the body maintain an anabolic state of repair and renewal.
Unlike conventional chiropractors, upper cervical care chiropractors only focus on maintaining the alignment of the C1 and C2 vertebrae, thus keeping the brain stem freed from nerve interference. And it is this unique, specialized, and revolutionary approach to chiropractic care that allows for a much broader range of healing throughout the body.
Major dietary changes are
necessary to treat and
heal systemic candida.
Candidiasis, commonly referred to as simply candida, is a type of infection caused by the fungus Candida albicans. Candida is the same type of fungus that causes vaginal yeast infections, but it can also affect the digestive tract. I believe the main cause for systemic candida is a high starch, carb-based, low nutrition diet which doesn’t supply the cells with sufficient oxygen, thus weakening the immune system and causing candida to grow unchecked. Because the modern, industrialized, refined carbohydrate diet contributes to an unknown sugar addiction, candida yeast is allowed to fluorish and accompanied by a high-stress lifestyle, can lead to a candida overgrowth and eventually systemic candida in the digestive tract. This can result in acid reflux disease, ulcers, IBS, Chron’s colitis, and other digestive disorders.
By switching to a sugar-free, nutrient-dense, ketogenic diet, my body was allowed to restore balance to the digestive tract, and place the candida in check. Without suffiencient food, the candida starves to death because there is no longer any sugar in the bloodstream. The intelligent body, which prefers ketones over sugar for fuel, begins to convert its energy source from glucose to ketones that are energy units naturally found in fat.It’s no coincidence that both
cancer and candida cells feed
exclusively on sugar.
Approximately 4 billion years ago, before the earth contained an oxygen-based atmosphere, the very first forms of life fed on just two nutrients: sugar and protein. Stored within the DNA of every living organism today lies the memory of this biological fact. The very first living cells lacked a nucleus (prokaryotic cells) and fed anaerobically on proteins and sugar. Later, after the development of an oxygen-based atmosphere, higher organisms developed from cells containing a nucleus (eukaryotic cells) and the use of fat became a nutrient source for the first time. These oxygen-feeding cells use fatty acids and ketones for fuel, just as most mammalian cells do to this day. Because fat is an aerobic nutrient, it forms the basis of oxygen metabolism in the human body. In simpler words, anaerobic cells feed on sugar and aerobic cells feed on oxygen.
In 1924, scientific researcher, Otto H. Warburg, M.D., wrote about oxygen’s relationship to the pH of cancer cells internal environment. He firmly believed that there was a direct relationship between cancer and oxygen. In his work, “The Metabolism of Tumours,” Warburg demonstrated that all forms of cancer are characterized by two basic conditions: acidosis and hypoxia or lack of oxygen. He found that cancer and oxygen deficiency go hand in hand because he proved that cancer cells are anaerobic and therefore cannot survive in the presence of oxygen. So if they can’t feed on oxygen, what do you think cancer cells feed on? Yep, that’s right: sugar.
Cancer loves sugar because, just like with prokaryotic cells and the fungi candida yeast, it’s anaerobic. Dr. Warburg proved that the primary cause of cancer is the replacement of the respiration of oxygen in normal body cells by the fermentation of sugar. When grapes ferment into wine, the yeast interacts with sugars in the juice to create ethyl alcohol, causing an anaerobic reaction and the release of carbon dioxide. Like cancer, the candida yeast thrives because of sugar fermentation inside the cells. Therefore, for cancer and candida (yeast overgrowth) prevention, the body has to maintain a steady, healthy respiration of oxygen in the cells, rather than an ongoing sugar fermentation in the cells.
