Hey Dummies! (part 5)

why do you use so many scented products? and how does it not give you a headache?

i suppose you have become acclimated through years of exposure to things like: Disinfectant Sprays, Air Fresheners, Cleaning Agents and Anti-Bacterial Detergents …. but there’s something you should know:

exposure to such chemicals, whether through the digestive system, the lungs or the skin, causes an acidic reaction in the body (read Acid vs. Alkaline). believe it or not, the body stores these chemicals in your fatty tissue. it stores them because if it tried to dispose of them, it would suffer an overload! the accumulation of such toxins over time can cause premature aging, fatigue, countless physical ailments- even cancer!

it is important to remember that these synthetic chemicals, which are a part of the daily lives of most Americans, have only been around for little over half a century.. and isn’t it a coincidence that 60 years after their creation there exists a wide-spread epidemic of cancer?

when homemade cleaning supplies are SO cheap and easy to make (see There’s No Need To Buy: part 1) and when natural essential oils like lavender, rosemary and eucalyptus smell SO lovely.. why, oh why would you buy Febreze “Summer Breeze”? yuck!

Acid vs. Alkaline

the body has a very small margin for fluctuation of PH level. as a matter of fact your blood must be constantly kept at a specific PH because if it falls even the slightest bit- you die. PH levels range from alkaline to acidic- and your blood must stay alkaline.

some foods are “acid forming” others “alkaline forming”, meaning they create different reactions in the blood. this can get confusing, lemons are an acidic fruit but are extremely “alkaline forming” to the body.

your body works continuously to maintain your PH level. “acid forming” foods will bring the blood PH down and put your body in danger if processed all at once. to avoid this the body must store acidic matter somewhere far from the main flow of blood. your fatty deposits are simply the acidic wastes that your body could not process.

therefore, eating a diet of only “acid forming” foods will make you fat.

we can take this one step further:

your fatty deposits are avoided getting minimal blood flow and therefore minimal oxygen flow (since blood carries oxygen). it is known that cancerous cells can only form in the absence of oxygen. therefore, eating a diet of only “acid forming” foods can predispose you to cancer.

here’s what you can do:

1) exercise. exercise forces blood into the fatty deposits of the body, cleaning out acidic waste.

2) get plenty of sleep. this is when your body rejuvenates and alkalizes.

3) eat a diet of 70% alkaline and 30% acid forming foods.

4) use an infrared sleeping pad. far infrared waves increase circulation, cleaning the body of acidic waste. (see store)

Microwaves

it is a sign of the times we are living in that people become shocked and intensely impressed when they find out how i make popcorn. in a pot, on the stove, with some olive oil.

i hate microwaves. i won’t use them. not even for the smallest, quickest task. i’ll even go out of my way to ask the waitress if a microwave was employed in the preparation of my food- and if so, take it away. yep- i am that much of a freak. and why not?

there’s a reason they say “nuke it”.

microwaves heat using radiation- this process kills any and all nutritional value and leaves you with dead, indigestible, acidic and sometimes poisonous food.

a substitute technology worth looking into is far-infrared technology. popular in Japan, far-infrared appliances include: ovens, egg cookers, heating pads and even personal saunas. far-infrared waves are not dangerous to human health. in fact, the opposite is true. the far-infrared wave is the natural wave emanated by living organisms, including human bodies. when you sleep next to someone, your body is exchanging far-infrared waves with their body. far-infrared waves increase circulation and therefore clean the blood. it has also been proven that food cooked with far-infrared appliances are very high in anti-oxidants. it is no wonder that the Japanese are deeply concerned about the dangerous effects of GMO’s on human health. visit my store for a wide variety of infrared appliances.

let me know if you’ve ever used far-infrared technology.
