Good stuff Charles and Dennis, I believe you are spot on when you mention diet and lifestyle as the primary cause of illness. I would also mention environment and emphasise stress as major contributors. And while this is undoubtably true, the principle physical outcome would seem to be the alteration of the internal terrain or environment, being most commonly the reduction of blood and cellular pH. That is the acidification of the body. The bodies response to this is to precipitate out of the blood these acid wastes as it strives to maintain proper blood pH, in turn causing many degenerative diseases. Another corollary of high acidity and low pH is an oxygen poor internal environment. It may turn out to be that all disease cancers etc are a result of these processes.
In the few months that I have studied these issues, I have found so much disparate information all pointing to the same conclusion, and only a few daring enough to put it together and present it as a body of work. Sang Wang being most accessible for this. So now we have 'unorthodox' treatments having excellent outcomes, Ozone, HBO, alkaline water, Enderlien, Quinton, CS, zapping, Rife, magnetic, Beck, ABX etc. Some of these protocols (alkaline water, Quinton, Enderlien) seem to me, treat the primary body deficiencies and response, to a less than optimum way of life, the others would seem to treat the disease outcomes from this primary deficiency and response, but do nothing to prevent recurrence. You may have noticed that I have omitted to mention breathing. In the past week or so, thanks to an inquiry from Ms Vilik Raphaels, I stumbled across a conditioned breathing program invented in Russia some years ago by Buteyko to control high blood pressure. The Buteyko protocol was found to have very good outcomes for all sorts of problems, from arthritis to, most notably, Athsma. The Athsma Foundation in Australia conducted scientific tests into the relief afforded by Buteyko, via one of the Aust. universities, and the results showed an astounding 90% decrease in the use of athsma medication and so, athsma attacks,... that seems to be ongoing. This stimulated a study into the effects of breathing on the pH of the blood, as suggested in the Buteyko protocol, and I found all sorts of relevant information that ties directly to the discussion above. For instance, it seems that breathing air with a 8% CO2 content not only raises the bodies pH and oxygen level but also eliminates pulmonary infection, has favourable outcomes for heart attack victims and for the asphyxiated and brain damaged. Buteyko breathing, reprograms the brain to not breath out too high a CO2 content on exhalation and results in an optimum blood pH level, and hence a higher Oxygen content. I noticed that there are many sites on the web extolling the benefits of controlled breathing, I wonder if they know just why they are so right. I have more work to do, but I must say that I am beginning to believe that the secret to a healthy and long life is in the breath, and not in the oxygen content, but in the CO2 content. Many religions and other disciplines have always stressed the importance of correct breathing, and I see now that there is plenty of scientific evidence, and more, to support this idea... to a greater extent than I would ever have imagined. I will myself, drink alkaline water as supplied by Alkalife (as it supplies the minerals to dissolve precipitated neutralised acid waste and allows calcifications to be reabsorbed by the skeleton), and learn to breath properly and maintain the correct levels of CO2 in my body fluids and lungs, in order that acid waste is properly eliminated in the future.
