READING MATERIAL ABOUT

ALTERNATIVE HEALTHCARE

AND

THE USE OF SUBSTANCES

 

 

The material you have here to read is give as examples of what practitioners are telling people what to do with the substances they suggest people to use.  They do not apply this information with a scientific approach as they tell everyone with the same type of symptoms to use the same substances, which does not comply with the full science.  How to apply a procedure or use a substance is more than telling people who have symptoms to take a particular product or group of produce that have been given to people to see what response they will get.

 

If a product assists a person in regaining physical health to any degree and does not experience severe side effects, scientists and practitioners consider it to be a substance they can tell everyone to use.  This does not comply with scientific information that demands that each person be dealt with on an individual basis and that because one or more people are helped by a substance does not automatically mean it will be good for them or anyone else! 

 

Everyone who reads this material needs to take the seminars that are given by The Institute of Non-Secular Sciences and Education, to learn how to apply all the information that has been given in any book so that you can know whether or not a substance will help or hurt you.  This includes every food a person eats.  It is plain from the material being given by Medical Doctors and research that foods cause disease and heal disease so then it is more important to know what and how much we can eat to achieve optimum health and or healing when sick!

 

We now know that FOOD IS A PRIMARY CAUSE OF DISEASE and that everything else is a secondary response to eating substances that poison us instead of feeding us.  The following material is made of pages from Dr. Andrew Weil’s M.D. and director of the New Medicine, “Integrative Medicine” Department at the University of Arizona, Tucson, in his News Letters and other practitioners of both healthcare systems.  We will be providing other practitioners ideas and beliefs about what people should do to obtain or regain their health.  We will make comments about their ideas and what we believe should be done according to the procedures provided by the science of Non-Secular Alternative Healthcare.  We hope this will give you more information and a better understanding of what you must do so that you may make a choice as to which system and which practitioner you would like to help you obtain optimum health. 

 

Is the new medicine,” Integrative Medicine” the medicine of the future like the Allopathic Medical Cartel wants everyone to believe.  Or is it the end of the dominance of healthcare by a system that scientifically was doomed in its beginning, because it did not follow the laws of Nature and God, but follow the artful application of the ideas of man, which only give hit and miss results.

 

We believe that if the public ever obtains the truth about Allopathic Medicine and the Drug companies system of what they call science, they will demand that the Allopathic Medical system get off the back and stop persecuting Natural Healthcare.  They will also demand that the practitioners of Natural methods learn and follow the full Non-Secular Scientific system of living.

 

When everyone understands the importance of what they eat and how to determine what will hurt them and what will help them and then choose to do the correct things for their own bodies, maximum health can be obtained and maintained! 

 

What is it that makes Caffeine toxic, when it is a food as good as any other when used properly?  Why do foods become poisons and herbs that are foods feed some, hurt some and do nothing for other?  If you know the answers to these questions you are ahead of the rest of the world!

 

Will you believe everything that is told to you, once you know the truth that can only come when you know and understand what should be taking place scientifically so that you can demand the industry re-adjust and get with what they took their oath to do, “poison no one” and provide speedy help!

 

JUDGE FOR YOURSELF:

 

Caffeine: Is Trouble Brewing?

By Dr. Andrew Weil

 

It’s the world’s most popular psychoactive drug, and four out of five US adults take it each day. Caffeine—found in coffee, tea, soft drinks, and chocolate—is so widely used I that few people realize it’s a drug, let alone one that can be addictive and contribute to many health problems. Indeed, a recent study (Archives of Family Medicine, August 2000) suggests that caffeine is added to soft drinks to addict con­sumers, not to enhance flavor as manufacturers claim.

Like other stimulant drugs, caffeine activates the sympa­thetic nervous system, which increases your heart rate and blood pressure. Although caffeine can make you feel more alert, wakeful, and energetic, it can also make you more jumpy, anxious, and fearful. In addition, caffeine acts as a diuretic (promoting fluid loss) and can irritate the urinary, gastrointestinal, and other bodily systems. Caffeine’s pick-me-up is inevitably followed by a “letdown,” so it’s easy to become dependent on caffeine to get through the day.

Coffee is the strongest of all the caffeine sources, the one that’s most irritating to the body, and the one most associat­ed with addiction. Also, I believe that addiction to caffeinated soft drinks—colas as well as certain brands of root beer, orange, and lemon-lime soda—is becoming more common.

You may be consuming more caffeine than you think, since you’ll also find it in varying amounts in tea, chocolate, many prescription and over-the-counter drugs (especially pain relievers and diet aids), and some herbal products (yerba maté, guaraná, kola nut). The FDA doesn’t require the caf­feine content be displayed on product labels, but you can find out how much caffeine is in various items at the follow­ing web page: www.cspinet.org/new/cafchart.htm.

How much caffeine is too much? People vary in their sensitivity to caffeine (children may be particularly sensitive because of their smaller size), so the answer depends more on your physical reaction to the substance than the amount you consume. If you suffer from a physical withdrawal reaction— sluggishness, irritability, and a throbbing headache-when­ever you go more than a day without caffeine, you are addicted, and I encourage you to rethink your habit.

I also recommend that people with any of the following conditions experiment with cutting back or eliminating caf­feine, since it can make them worse: migraine or tension headaches, tremors or anxiety, insomnia, cardiac arrhythmia, hypertension, a urinary or gastrointestinal disorder, prostate trouble, fibrocystic breast disease, PMS, or seizure disorder.

Scientists continue to investigate caffeine’s effects on health. A recent study found that drinking four or more cups of coffee a day may boost your odds of developing rheuma­toid arthritis. (See “Health in the News,” October 2000.) Concerns have also been raised that high caffeine intake may increase the risk of heart disease and osteoporosis (caffeine can inhibit calcium absorption), although the evidence is inconclusive. Some studies have linked caffeine consumption with a greater risk of miscarriage or more difficulty getting pregnant, so I think it’s prudent for women who want to become or are pregnant to limit caffeine or avoid it entirely.

Even so, not all the news about caffeine is bad. A few studies released last year linked coffee or caffeine consump­tion with a lower risk of Parkinson’s disease, and other stud­ies have linked coffee consumption with a lower incidence of both colon cancer and gallstones. But scientists have yet to fully explain these associations, and it’s far too early to rec­ommend drinking coffee to help ward off these ailments.

 

Breaking Caffeine’s Grip

 

Caffeine addiction can be hard to break, and since withdraw­al symptoms can last up to 72 hours, I’d suggest trying it at a time when you have three days with few responsibilities. During this time, you should avoid caffeine in any form.

If you want to give up coffee but still want some caffeine, the best alternative is green tea, which has less caffeine, is less irritating to the body, and may also protect against heart dis­ease and cancer. Coffee drinkers who want to cut out caffeine entirely can switch to decaffeinated green tea, caffeine-free herbal teas, or grain-based coffee substitutes. I’m not a fan of decaffeinated coffee, which contains other substances that are irritating to the body. And a healthier choice than soft drinks is sparkling water mixed with fruit juice.

If you want to use caffeinated beverages or foods for their stimulant effects, do so consciously and occasionally rather than unconsciously and habitually. Even better, try non-chemical energy boosters like the Stimulating Breath described in my books, or a brisk walk. To feel more ener­getic throughout the day, eat well, drink plenty of water, exercise regularly, and (of course) get enough sleep. ~

Mind-Body Medicine

 

• Educate yourself Cancer can be a life-altering experience, so learn what to expect and how to deal with it. Two books that explore post-treatment issues are After Cancer: A Guide to Your New Life by Wendy Schlessel Harpham, MD (Norton, 1994), and Dancing in Limbo: Making Sense of Life After Cancer by Glenna Halvorson-Boyd and Lisa Hunter (Jossey—Bass, 1995).

• Get support. I suggest joining a support group for cancer survivors, either locally or online. Thanks to groundbreaking research by David Spiegel, MD, at Stanford University and Fawzy Fawzy, MD, at UCLA with breast cancer and melanoma patients, there is little doubt that support groups can play an impor­tant role in improving survival as well as qual­ity of life. You can find groups or one-on-one support through organizations such as the American Cancer Society (800-A CS-2345; www.cancer.org) and the National Coalition for Cancer Survivorship (877-622-7937; www.cansearch.org).

•  Use your imagination. Guided imagery audiotapes made specifically for cancer sur­vivors can help you visualize a strong, healthy, and cancer-free body. Or you can work with a guided imagery practitioner; for referrals, contact the Academy for Guided Imagery at (800) 726-2070.

• Reduce stress. To improve general immune function, incorporate a relaxation technique such as breath work, med­itation, or yoga into your daily routine.

• Try energy medicine. Energy therapies such as Therapeutic Touch and Reiki may help restore harmony within the body and shore up its defenses. (See “Energy Medicine: A New Frontier,” October 2000.)

• Have faith. Don’t underestimate the role of your spiri­tual life in the healing process.

 

Exercise

 

• Stay active. Exercise is an essential component of any post-cancer program. It not only fights post-cancer depres­sion and fatigue, but also improves immune function, restores fitness, and helps maintain normal weight. Gradually increase physical activity: If necessary, start by walking just five min­utes at a time, but slowly build up to at least 30 minutes of

activity a day. Achieving your exercise goals, whether it’s walking around the block or climbing Mt. Everest, can go a long way toward dispelling the sense of vulnerability that often follows diagnosis and treatment.

• Form fitness friendships. Consider joining or organizing an exercise group aimed at cancer survivors. Several examples of innovative programs are described in the box above.

• Find inspiration. To remain motivated, read two great new books dealing with exercise post-cancer: bike-racing champion Lance Armstrong’s memoir, It’s Not About the Bike (Putnam, 2000), and Breast Fitness: An Optimal Exercise and Health Plan for Reducing Your Risk of Breast Cancer by Julie Gralow, MD, Anne McTiernan, MD, PhD, and Lisa Talbott (St. Martin’s, 2000).

 

I strongly encourage you to incorporate at least some of these strategies into your post-cancer life. While attitude and lifestyle changes cannot guarantee that you will never suffer a recurrence, they will certainly improve the quality of your life and contribute to your healing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

OUR COMMENTS:

 

All this information is good for you to know about, but he does not and really cannot tell you that this information will work for you.  It is obvious if you know the Science of Wellness and Self Healing that anything that has worked for someone will not necessarily work for you, so unless you know how to test everything you use, before you use it to see if it indeed will help you, YOU CANNOT KNOW THAT IT WILL WORK OR HURT YOU!  Take our seminars and learn what to do with everything that you find in books, in the news or in advertisements, so that you obtain the results you want every time!
