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.
Kind regards
Ivan Anderson.
