DETOXIFY FOR BETTER HEALTH!

Everyday I receive calls detailing someone's health problems and health history. Problems like weight gain, arthritis, pms, ulcers, chronic fatigue, depression, sometimes cancer, heart problems and other terrible diseases. Too often it's young people, a young mother, etc. It breaks my heart hearing these stories. Juxtaposed against these calls for help are the many people who are basically well, maybe they call because of acne, a persistant flu or cold, or a relationship or spiritual issue. No matter what it is, I often come up against resistance at one point or another. People are over-attached to their foods, their drink, their cigarettes, their anger, their fear, their hurt, their pastry, chocolate, coffee, ignorance, whatever...

I wish, for one day, these very same people could sit here at my desk and receive the numerous phone calls and e-mails I do from all over the world, and listen to the stories I listen to. Let us just take today. A woman called whose husband has such pain in his ears that he wants to die. He is on two medications for his ear pain and three more for high blood pressure and heart problems. What bothers me is the medications are barely helping him, in fact they are causing new illness in his body. Furthermore this couple has little awareness about diet and their doctors did not place any importance on it. Most of his problems are caused by years of eating a lousy diet. That is where the powerlessness of this man came into being. He threw away his power. His power was to learn and to make better choices concerning his diet. To treat his body as the sacred vessel that was given to him by God. Now he is starting to realize the connection between his diet and all the suffering he has been experiencing for years. For him there is not a whole lot I can do. I hear the worry and fear in his wife's voice, and it bothers me. Because all this was preventable.

And then there was the young man who called to ask that I pray for his boss at work. She found out she has thyroid cancer today. She does not eat well, smokes cigarettes and drinks some alcohol -- she is only 27 years old! Another young girl called because she has exhausted medical skin creams and wants to know if I have a natural cream. I asked her if she eats fried food, she said "No!" Two minutes later I asked her if she eats potatoes, she said "sure, I love french fries, I eat them everyday!!"

I could go on for ever, but I think you get the point. If you read this letter because you want to achieve optimum health and prevent disease - then listen up. The weather is starting to warm up. Between now and summer is a great time to detox your body. This is so important, and we don't need go through all kinds of suffering, fasting, colonics, etc. In fact I discourage these harsh methods. Each newsletter for the next few months I will give you some tips on how to detox your body and give a great boost to your health!

First understand, our bodies produce an awful lot of waste everyday from normal processes of digestion. Our bodies are also forced to take in and eliminate all kinds of toxins. Impurities in the air we breathe, chemicals and toxins in the food and water, including heavy metals like aluminum from soda cans (replace aluminum pots with stainless steel), lead (filter your water), mercury (from dental fillings) residues from medications, and even chemicals from synthetic vitamins... everything is being fortified these days. It is hard to avoid all this stuff. We live in a very polluted world. There can be hundreds of chemicals in our water and foods that do not belong in the human body.

Then there is just plain junk food, coffee, alcohol, recreational drugs, fried food, polyunsaturated oils, soy and canola oils, estrogens, cigarette smoke, cleaning agents, formaldehyde coming from many household materials, plastics, etc. and the list goes on and on. Where do you think all this stuff ends up? In your liver, colon , lymph glands and other tissues. This is one reason people get cancer. So what do we do about it. What I do is twice a year at least, usually fall and spring when the weather is changing I cleanse my liver and colon most importantly, and also my kidneys and lymph system along with them.

This is far more important than taking vitamins and herbs for this symptom or that. That is medicine as usual. As a naturopath I believe in the innate ability of your body to be and maintain health and immunity. To do this we have to eat and drink pure foods, be sure our digestion and elimination systems are working well and detoxify now and then. Then we can add some good extra nutrition to our bodies.

Begin gently. Try what I am doing. Get organic turnip, rutabaga, beet and some onion if you like. In that order. Rotate everyday if you like, but try to have at least an ounce of turnip everyday. It has to be peeled, grated and eaten immediately within 3-4 minutes. This stuff is full of enzymes and will go to work cleansing your liver, etc. Do it on an empty stomach and try not to eat anything for an hour or so. If this is too much, you feel sick whatever, then start with a smaller amount and work up. Do this for the next month or so, and then I will give you the next step. You can alternate days with the different vegetables, or grate and mix them together.

Ideally, those of you with digestive problems have already begun an enzyme program to increase your digestion. If you dont address your diet and digestion all programs will fail to give you great health. Don't settle and accept having illness in your body, being tired and aging, don't accept that you have to live on inhalers, pain killers or some such medication. You can choose to regain robust energy, even if you have never experienced this before.

Choose health, begin today!!!

Yours in good health,

Timothy,

I really enjoyed your first newsletter! I have a question..so many people drink coffee, including myself on occasion. Is coffee really bad for your body? Is drinking it black a good option? How about just a cup a day? Is decaffeinated coffee safe? Looking forward to your new spiritual health web site! Kriss, Bedford, NH

Dear Kriss,

I believe some people can drink coffee in moderation and it is okay for them. Most people should stay away from it, it is bad for their nerves, pancreas and liver. The chemical fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides, etc. they use on the plants when growing and during production worry me the the most. Especially decaffeinated can have a lot of chemical residues. If I drank it I would only use organic real coffee. But again, the caffeine is too much for most people; especially sensitive, nervous types. I will look out for some more information on coffee and post it here in the future. I especially want to get the facts about the chemicals in it. If any one has this information I would appreciate you sending it to me. Wishing you the best, Timothy Long

Dear Mr. Long,

I have a problem with gurgling and bloating in my stomach. Carbs and fruits seem to bother me the most, pasta too. I also have asthma and sinus problems. Can you help me with any of this or should I see a homeopathic doctor- do they help?

Thanks,

Mary, Austin, TX

Dear Mary,

Homeopathy helps a lot of people with many things. But you have a fundamental problem that is best addressed through diet and especially digestion. What I believe is the most likely cause of your problem is a very common one. I don't think there is a day I don't speak with someone who has trouble digesting carbohydrates and sugars. So often people's allergies, asthma, headaches, fatigue, stomach and intestinal problems, especially irritable bowel and diarrhea all stem from this problem and difficulty in breaking down sugars and carbohydrates.

First of all the pancreas is made weak by diets with excess breads, sugars, coffee, alcohol, and enzyme-less foods - foods that are over-processed, overcooked, picked before they are ripe, pasteurized and chemicalized. Today many children are inheriting these weak pancreases and experiencing so many of the problems outlined above as well as hyperactivity, overweight problems, learning disabilities, and earaches. There actually is a lot more to this, but suffice to say for now, by taking plant enzymes with your food, especially carbohydrase, would most likely do wonders for you. Many members of my family and clients have experienced many health problems clear up, better energy and improved immunity by taking enzymes with their food. It is simply putting back what should have been naturally there to begin with. In your case a product called Therazyme Pan would help. If you also have problems with proteins or fats then Therazyme HCL would work better.

Wishing you the best of health,

Timothy Long
