Chemistry NATURAL SUPPLEMENTS Or Whole Foods TO KEEP UP medical Tripod BodyMindSpirit

Increasingly, as though there is a "new" discovery parade for the latest cure-all, probiotics have come again to the forefront. WHEN I browse the varying articles and studies, I am struck by what lengths afield we have result from normal, common sense.

So as to maintain a sound body, you will find a tripod of health: body, mind, and spirit. Knock out one leg of that stool, and the stool topples over. Probiotics, diet, health supplements address only the "body" leg of medical tripod. So let's start there.

Anything taken externally, whether it is natural or medical (chemical or surgical) to get the physical, has only ever been intended as temporary support until we've regained or achieved the required consciousness to aid complete and perfect health; much as you might use a crutch to recuperate from the broken leg. When the leg is healed, we throw the crutch away once we should throw the supplements and medications away.

The body knows how to be well and healthy, as that is its natural and inherent state. Think of all of the times you've had a cold, or the flu or a cut or bruise. They always disappear completely. The body, developed by Infinite Intelligence, does not need to discover how to be well, but rather is always striving to come back to health, its normal set-point. Our job, as a conscious human being, is to make the choices - all of our choices - that support Life. That is to say choices that are probiotic.

These choices, if we are living naturally and following our internal prompts, always feel good, fun, joyful, and delicious. Your body, itself, tells us what it requires with respect to nutrition; and we, if we are listening and aware, then eat those foods. Your body tells us when it is tired and needs rest; if we are listening and living naturally, we drift off and awaken refreshed. The body tells us when it's cold; and if we are listening, we go inside, don a coat or sit by the fire. The body tells us whenever we are full; if we have been listening, we stop eating, pleasantly satiated. The body because of its Innate Intelligence - the Life Force that enlivens it, is constantly directing us if we are listening.

This same Innate Intelligence or Life Force exists in all living things: animal, vegetable and mineral. It simply is the "spirit" leg of the heath tripod. So it's essential that we pay attention to the still small voice within guiding us in every things, including health, always towards our good.

The "mental" component of the tripod is where all the trouble begins and ends. The human mind with its hubris and arrogance believes that it's the infinite intelligence rather than our spirit Infinite Intelligence (knowing). The human mind is what confounds and complicates everything, over-shouting the still small voice every chance it gets. The human mind will argue with the information of Innate Intelligence that we don't have time and energy to eat, or we can't afford to eat healthy food, or that we don't have time and energy to be home resting. The human mind will argue a vitamin supplement is a quick fix, that a "professional" knows a lot more than I do; that in a decision between ethics and money, money wins. The human mind will tell you to stay in the work your hate, because the money is good; and it'll tell you firmly to take the "safe" road, because it is afraid and lives in the land of Lack. They are the decisions that people make each day that lead us into life styles and relationships which are as toxic to the body and chemicals are.

For instance, as science attempts to unravel the secrets of good nutrition and health, they omit or ignore or discount the idea of Infinite Intelligence or Life Force, because they hardly understand It and cannot quantify It. Therefore, they believe that by isolating certain nutrients, that the advantages of that nutrient are complete in relationship to the biological body and cells. For instance, scientists study, suppose, Vitamin C. They isolate it from its original state that it is within, suppose, an orange. They identify it by its chemical composition and name it Vitamin C of a certain type. A nutritional company or a drug company will duplicate that chemical complex and manufacture it synthetically and patent it. Why? As you cannot patent the Vitamin C in an orange, but if you create your own synthetic clone of it, it is possible to patent that and then sell it as "a vitamin supplement". It's about money; and the marketing is approximately causing you to believe - contrary to your own knowing and Innate Intelligence (good sense), that it's easier to buy the pill instead of simply eat the complete food, the orange. This whole process is the human mind process; not good sense, not Innate Intelligence, and not your Knowing.

This brings us back again to the "body" portion of the health tripod. Everything we do to and for the physical body to keep or to regain physical health. These exact things include medicine, alternative therapies, nutrition, supplements, and the meals we eat.

So let's go back to the clone of Vitamin C which is not Real Vitamin C. To start with, it's been separated out of its natural habitat of the orange and no longer gets the synergistic benefits of the rest of the nutrients found within that Infinite Intelligence-created orange. The other nutrients within the orange were gathered together by Infinite Intelligence in the orange with the Vitamin C to interact one with the other - just like a symphony shall we say. All together they release their blessings of nutrition to the buyer in a concert. One triggers another, one enhances the other, and within the body, they trigger certain enzymes or other mechanism to break it down and with nutritional perfection and elegant harmony are absorbed into the body where they nourish and sustains the cells, the fundamental building block of the body. It is the symphony of naturally occurring whole foods in the act of nourishing the living body. The clone does not have any notion of the music.

While it isn't quite the stuff of Frankenstein for science to comprehend food and nutrition in relationship to our body, it really is when these elements are separated out from the Whole Picture and peddled to convey the same efficacy because the Real thing, that they cannot do. Recall for one minute the specific Frankenstein creation: he was patchwork parody of the Real human, not elegantly Real.

When these synthetically created nutritional clones are ingested in to the Real body, your body in fact does not recognize them and either sloughs them off (every wondered why your urine is indeed bright yellow when you're taking vitamin supplements ) or they are treated as toxins. If the body identifies them as toxins (foreign substance), it will attempt to eliminate it from the body or surround it with fat cells similar to putting the theif into solitary confinement. [Did you ever wonder why we have been so fat in such large numbers?] Appears to me, via good sense, my very own Innate Intelligence just like yours, that the more toxins - synthetically/chemically produced foods (neo-nutrition) we eat, the more toxins your body is attempting to cope with and so produces the fat to surround and contain them to protect the vital organs of the body. The living body's single imperative, after all, is to live. That is basic biology 101.

The rube is that most of the food designed for consumption grown here in america is synthetically altered in some fashion. First the seed, itself, is genetically modified from its original Infinite Intelligent state. Monsanto did a grave and potentially catastrophic disservice to the world by altering seed - again for the reason why of patent - so that now farmers need to buy seed each year.

Haven't you pointed out that you can't grow a fresh corn crop from the old corn seed or that this year's tomato seed won't grow a next generation of tomato? My very own Innate knowing noticed this phenomenon years ago and thought then that was very strange. Particularly when the natural process of pollination could have eventually - by evolution - evolved a new seed that was adapted to a particular climate or locality or pest. Once again, it's the mandate of all living things - Life Force, Innate Intelligence - to Live. And in so doing, living naturally and organically, every living thing will change and become naturally stronger and more resilient to its environmental challenges or perish. In the human body, this job is particularly handled by the disease fighting capability.

All you have to accomplish is turn to the cock roach to see the amazing ability of Infinite Intelligence to adapt for Life (probiotic). It is this very process of adapting and changing to environmental challenges - evolution they called it in high school - that creates the nutrition - antioxidants for example - that people ingest through eating a whole food, that helps our anatomies meet their own environmental challenges.

However, due to these genetically modified seeds that require chemicals in the proper execution or herbicides, pesticides and fertilizers to cultivate, the essential nutrition that people require to be healthy is currently absent from these food; and likewise, these foods contain much more toxins (synthetic chemicals) that we ingest into our bodies. read more are not whole foods; they're corrupted foods.

Due to these corruptive foods, the front line digestive and immune systems are seriously compromised. Once the digestive system is compromised, we can not be nourished. When the immune system is compromised, we fight disease.

That's where the recent surge popular for organically grown, non-genetically modified foods has arisen. Simply put, organic, whole, Real foods contain more potent and available nutrition for our bodies to use; and they come complete with Innate Life Force and also without toxins. Studies prove that these foods are as much as 60% higher in available nutrition than industrially grown foods.

Additional info of synthetically grown foods are now evident by the amount of Americans who are sick. Diabetes has become a "life style" complete with its magazines for diabetic living. Immune diseases are epidemic: multiple sclerosis, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome to name but a few and not to mention cancer and heart-related disease. Each one of these dis-eases could be directly traced back to our food supply and the resulting epidemic of malnutrition in Americans and the toxin load.

Better living can't be found through chemistry with regards to health, food, nutrition and the surroundings. Synthetic chemistry and its manipulation for profit makes corporations rich, farmers poor, and kills people.

By about 40 years, the body begins showing the effects of this deadly mix of slow poisoning with the accumulation of toxins compounded by years of malnourishment. The drip, drip, drip effect reaches critical mass and your body cannot manage any more, cannot cope, and begins to break down showing myriad outward indications of dis-ease. Nutrition is what the body uses to repair and rejuvenate itself, but minus the proper nutrition derived from whole foods, the cells themselves cannot restore, renew or replenish with their natural state of health. Toss on the load of accumulated toxins, in fact it is, "Houston, we have a problem."

This brings us to rebalancing the Health Tripod.

The medical world has evolved into a lucrative business of treating symptoms of disease with an increase of synthetic drugs with no intention of addressing the cause. This can be a mindset of sickness, not wellness. At its core medicine believes neither in the fundamental Infinite Intelligence of your body nor its ability to heal itself. But rather as its centerpiece are sickness, disease and decay.

Alternative health methodologies tend to be more inclined to honor the Infinite Intelligence of your body and treat symptoms of dies-ease with probiotic methods: moving energy (Life Force) within the body, support with herbs and nutrition in addressing the physical complaint. In addition most of these modalities will, to greater or lesser degrees, address another two legs of the Tripod: mind and spirit as well. All these methods are good for you, as long as your brain leg of the tripod believes and knows this as well. If you don't have confidence in the Infinite Intelligence of one's body, you should choose medical treatment.

Due to the medical model heavily influencing our Western thought, even alternative therapies have adopted "medicine-like" models for treatment of dies-ease, such as prescribing supplements and herbal treatments for regular use. But these shouldn't be taken as "medicine" on a long term basis, but instead used intermittently to aid the body until body/mind/spirit regains balance.

This brings us to the current phase in American healthcare, that is the onslaught of "natural supplements". But once more, the consumer must be educated and cautious, as some of these will be the products of the chemical laboratory too, rather than the products of whole grown food. As previously discussed, these "nutritions" when isolated from their synergistic fellows in the complete food form do not supply the same healthful effects to your body. They are often more chemistry and always without the support of all of those other nutritional army within a whole food. This is largely everything you see on the shelves at the drug store, the vitamin store and online. They are a poor relation to natural whole food nutrition. And remember, the body may identify these as toxins aswell, sloughing them off or storing them in fat, but definitely not imparting any Real nutrition to your body for use.

Here is where the consumer must take responsibility for his/her own health insurance and come to understand the options clearly: synthetic chemistry, synthetic supplements, or whole organic food and whole food superfood supplements.

No longer can we afford to be ignorant of what's on offer to us out there for "health" benefits. You must be intelligent and use your personal good good sense for regaining and maintaining optimum health.

Two things are needed, fundamental and essential, for complete and perfect health: 1. complete pure untainted available nutrition; 2. your body's ability to process and absorb the nutrients.

1. Complete, pure and untainted nutrition comes from organically grown whole foods, period.

a. Buy organically grown/raised foods whenever and whenever we can in the widest variety possible. Try growing a few of your own. There is a reason that foods are available with seasonality. Infinite Intelligence has provided us the vast and complete selection of nutrients our bodies dependence on cellular health with a veritable buffet of foods: animal, vegetable, and fruits in balance and moderation, and much more importantly, as your system uniquely informs you.

b. When investing in a supplement, you must determine that it's, in fact, a complete food supplement. Often times they are called superfoods. A working definition of superfood might be any food that's high in enzymes, phytochemicals, vitamins, minerals, Chlorophyll, and antioxidants. In an ideal world the goal is always to be free of anything manufactured and obtain complete nutrition from your own wide spectrum variety of whole food selections. A word of warning: ensure that the whole food supplement, the superfood, is organic.

2. Probiotics are crucial to the absorption and assimilation of whole food nutrition.

1. First of all, the "new" probiotic supplements aren't some new invention or creation of modern science. They're natural, living organisms which are found in the intestinal tract. In fact, they are found in the intestinal tract of each creature that digests food and makes waste. Probiotics (good bacteria) are given to us naturally by Infinite Intelligence entirely plant foods (vegetables, fruits and grains).

2. It is most significant to comprehend, is that probiotics are living organisms with a life, a function and a mission. Their function is perhaps to say they are the front line troops of your body's immune system. In the digestive system it really is their job to help keep any "bad" bacteria in check. When "bad" bacteria are out of balance and in control, your body cannot absorb nor assimilate the nutrition necessary for Innate Intelligence to restore the body to perform and perfect health

3. read more aid in the digestion and elimination of spend from the body. If the body isn't eliminating its own waste and toxins, they're stored, via fat; and in the colon, if not eliminated completely, set up an environment of decay: an ideal culture for dis-ease.

4. Warning: probiotic is word used on labels now to make you buy.

First, the product itself should be organic (yogurt, kefir, kambucha). Second the cultures must be LIVE.

5. If you are purchasing a superfood enriched with probiotics as a dietary supplement (addition); then once more, ensure that the superfood is organic and that the probiotics have already been cultured in the sun (not killed by heat); and that they haven't been cultured from fecal matter.

Just like with nutritional vitamin supplements, manufactured probiotics can be found on the market place as well. Whenever a manufacturer can identify a probiotic in nature (in food), it isolates it by its chemical composition and manufactures it synthetically, patents it and gives it a patented name. Much like synthetically created vitamins, patented probiotics will be treated by the body as yet another foreign substance. Your body then must either discharge and eliminate it, or store it in fat. The supposed "cure" has just added to the problem.

Since the digestive system is the most significant place where nutrition is either absorbed and assimilated and made available for cellular health or not, this can be a particularly sinister spot to introduce synthetics, because neither will the nutrition be produced available to the body nor should the body have to deal with another chemical impostor of the true.

It is appalling to me that we find ourselves in this place in the year 2008. Also I cannot understand how we could be so morally bankrupt as to arrive at methodically poisoning our people for the sake of money. But the truth of the problem is that each folks must take charge of our own health and wellness no longer entrust it to "others."

The formula to regain and keep maintaining health until you die is simple: body, mind, spirit. And the rule is that whenever any one of the three becomes out of balance, the stool falls.

You most probably will address your health only when you see a physical symptom, but that's your possibility to address your brain and spirit aspects of your life, as well; for just one or both of those aspects are out of sync if the body is ill.

We are a being. In the same way the knee bone is connected to the shin bone, your body is connected to your brain is linked to the spirit. The body is only the casing which has mind and spirit for a physical adventure here on the planet; and I think you will agree that without health, the physical experience is less than optimal, to be sure.

If you are trying to regain (or maintain) your God-given state of complete and perfect health, you should use what methods and practices that you are feeling are correct and appropriate to aid your physicality whilst you do the necessary explorations in mindset and spirit, bringing you back again to your perfectly balanced Health Tripod.

What we think, what we believe is what we experience. With the knowledge of something that is unpleasant rather than fulfilling comes the chance to release the beliefs and mindsets that got us here, also to choose new thoughts and new ideas which are probiotic - pro Life - and support us in complete and perfect health. The Whole Tripod.

One final note: we are dynamic beings, therefore constantly changing. The requirement to pay attention (take note) and make conscious choices moment to moment may be the essential job of spirituality and self-mastery, which a prolonged process. You never get it done.

Applying your spirit, listening to the Innate Intelligence within, will always cause you to your good. Always.
