Slow Death By Daily Exposure?

One of the things that I am adamant about when speaking with clients about their health and nutritional balancing programs is the significant need to address the cause of the problem and not the symptom. In Australia and other western industrialized countries we have to recognize that we have a significant issue with chronic degenerative disease. Our problems are the result of industrialization and our pathological lifestyle and we are suffering from problems that non-industrial countries simply do not have for the most part. These chronic degenerative problems are caused by physical, emotional and chemical stresses.

I have found that chemical stress is an area that most people are simply not fully aware of. Even those who are aware of the issues are often caught by surprise when the depth of the issue is explained. Take for example a recent article in Natural News by the Health Ranger Mike Adams. In the article titled "I was poisoned by chronic exposure to toxic elements lurking in organic food" he explains how he was slowly poisoned. Not by one big episode of an acute poisoning but very slowly by small amounts in food that he fully thought was organic and safe. This is a very educated man caught by surprise with the extent of toxins in our environment. Scary.

On the positive side I was very happy to see an article of this nature come out and to see his renewed and focused attention on the issue of toxicity and chemicals in our food and water supply. I firmly believe that toxins are a massive problem with our society and health. On a daily basis I see issues with copper and toxic metals. However, what a hair tissue mineral analysis shows is just the tip of the iceberg as it is very difficult to assess all the other chemicals, pesticides and radiation that we are all exposed to.

Of particular note in the article was his conclusion. "We will not survive as a civilization if we do not reverse the chronic poisoning of our food, our planet, our farms, our bodies and our own children." Truer words could not be spoken and we need to become fully aware of this issue and start putting into place individual actions along with corrective national and world actions. I can tell you that I take this advice to heart. It is one of the main motivators I have for helping you, my family and my own health. We need to detoxify our bodies and clean up our environment and a nutritional balancing program will accomplish this.

I would like to conclude by sharing a poem that both haunts and motivates me, and is a driving force in my day to day actions. I hope it motivates you as well.

It's 3:23 in the morning

and I'm awake

because my great great grandchildren

won't let me sleep

my great great grandchildren

ask me in dreams

what did you do while the planet was plundered?

what did you do when the earth was unravelling?

surely you did something

when the seasons started failing?

as the mammals, reptiles, birds were all drying?

did you fill the streets with protest

when democracy was stolen?

what did you do

once

you

knew?...
