Heal Yourself in 15 Days by eating MORE (not less)

(NaturalNews) Can you really heal yourself by eating more food? It seems counterintuitive, but in this article — part eleven of our 15-day self-healing series — I’m going to share with you how eating more food can actually be a powerful tool in accelerating your body’s own natural healing potential. But there’s a catch, of course: It’s not about eating more junk food, processed food or factory-made food. Eating more of that stuff would only promote more disease of course. It’s about eating more of some specific foods and superfoods I’m going to share with you in detail right here. The whole point of this “heal yourself by eating MORE” approach is to chill out and get away from the “avoid everything” trap that becomes a psychological obstacle for a lot of people who are trying to improve their health. The demands to avoid everything can seem intimidating and repetitive: Avoid cheese, avoid sugar, avoid diet sodas, avoid processed meat, avoid MSG, etc. For many people, the list of things to avoid becomes so large and confusing that they just give up trying to be healthier. So I’ve advocated a totally different approach that’s focused on eating more of the right kinds of things and worrying less about all the other stuff. You might call it a more balanced, relaxed approach to healthful living for a more mainstream audience. But how does it work? How does eating MORE food actually help heal your body? How eating more promotes real healing Here’s how: There’s a physical limit of how much stuff you can eat in one day. So by adding certain healthy foods and aiming to achieve the goal of eating MORE of those foods, you will automatically end up dropping something else out of your diet without really trying. For example, one of the action strategies here is to aim to eat three whole fruits per day ; one before each meal. So each day, I want you to consume a total of three whole fruits such as apples, pears, peaches, mangos, large plums, etc. But here’s the key in all this: You must eat one whole fruit BEFORE each meal. While you’re following this strategy, I don’t want you to worry about what to avoid . Eat whatever it is you normally eat, but add three whole fruits per day . (Not dried fruits. They must be fresh, whole fruits of a significant size.) The reason this strategy works so well to improve your health is because by eating three whole fruits each day — one before each major meal — you will tend to crowd out the less healthful foods automatically , without any real effort and without worrying so much avoid what to avoid. Let’s say you eat at McDonald’s each day, for example. And let’s say you order a Big Mac, fries and a Coke for lunch each day (in which case it would be weird that you’re even reading NaturalNews, but go with me on this…). Now, with this “eat more” principle in place, you precede each McDonald’s meal with the consumption of a whole, fresh fruit. Two important things will happen: #1) The fruit contains nutrients that will help protect you from the damaging ingredients of cooked foods, processed foods or chemical food ingredients. (Because fruits contain natural medicines.) #2) The whole fresh fruit will take up more physical space in your stomach , making you feel full faster and causing you to stop eating the other stuff sooner. You may find yourself suddenly unable to finish your Big Mac and fries, for example. You may not even know why but then it hits you: Oh yeah, I ate the fresh fruit before this meal! Naturally, I hope you choose organic fruit for this, but even if you don’t, eating conventionally-grown fresh fruit is better than nothing! Eat more superfoods Here’s another element in this strategy: I want you to eat a handful of superfood supplements each day , preferably before noon. By superfood supplements, I mean microalgae like chlorella, spirulina or food-based vitamins like those from Pure Synergy (this could be in the form of powder, tablets or capsules). So at some point each morning — it could be after breakfast or before lunch — I want you to swallow an entire handful of these superfood supplements (with water, of course). You may want to do this with food for the first few weeks, to get your body used to these nutrients arriving all at once. Note: I am not recommending you swallow a handful of vitamins , many of which are made with synthetic chemicals. I’m talking about real food here — superfoods in a supplement form. Doing this will cause something else quite amazing to happen in your body: Unhealthy cravings will start to vanish . Within just 30 days, in fact, you may suddenly begin to notice that your cravings for unhealthful snack foods and carbohydrates begin to fade. You may no longer feel the need to eat the cookies, donuts, ice cream or fried foods that you were once drawn to. Why does this work? Because many cravings are simply biochemical translations of your body’s cry for nutrients . And superfood supplements fill your body with abundant nutrients that you might be missing. As your body realizes it’s no longer deficient in crucial minerals and other micronutrients, your cravings are automatically turned off, putting YOU back in control over what you choose to eat. Also, another benefit here is that eating the superfoods will displace something else in your diet (because you can only eat so much physical stuff in one day, remember?). So a mid-morning superfood habit will ultimately end up knocking something else out of your diet without even trying. Eat more REAL salt This one will shock many people. Some doctors swear this is bad advice, but that’s only because they don’t acknowledge the difference between real salt and processed “refined” salt. Refined salt is bad for you. Real, full-spectrum salt is good for you! Processed salt raises blood pressure and promotes disease. Full-spectrum salt, on the other hand, may actually have the opposite effect. One thing I’ve noticed over the years is that cravings for salty snack foods are often just cravings for full-spectrum salt . When I crave snack foods, I’ve found that those cravings are 100% of the time dismissed by eating things like raw nuts rolled in full-spectrum salt. And the more you exercise, the more salt you lose from sweating so the more salt you need to replace. As a person who exercises regularly and drinks a lot of fresh veggie juice from my garden, I find myself frequently salt deficient . I actually have to add salt to my diet, and I do so by eating full-spectrum salt sprinkled over raw nuts (or I add salt to other foods I’m making). See some full-spectrum salt products here: http://store.naturalnews.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=100148_100158 If you already exhibit symptoms of high blood pressure, don’t add salt to your diet without removing some processed salt from it first. Check with your naturopathic physician on this matter. But if your blood pressure is normal, adding full-spectrum salt to your diet is generally considered remarkably safe. Drink a fresh superfood smoothie each day Here’s the last item to add to your diet to improve your health: Drink a superfood smoothie each day. It doesn’t even matter what time you drink it, really: Just find a way to add a full 8 oz. glass of freshly-squeezed fruits and vegetables to your daily intake of foods and beverages. I like to do this mid-morning, but you may enjoy it in the afternoon or evening, too. Some people drink it for breakfast. The ingredients should be fresh produce only. Examples: Celery, parsley, cucumbers, apples, pears, watermelon, beets, kale, broccoli, berries and so on. You may add a natural sweetener such as stevia. You’ll need to make this juice yourself. The very best juicer for this is the amazing Hurom Slow Juicer that I’ve already recommended here on NaturalNews (http://www.naturalnews.com/028232_Hurom_juicer_slow_juicing.html) By doing this, you’ll be adding a huge burst of living nutrients to your diet. This simple addition of a daily superfood smoothie will displace other things in your diet that aren’t very healthy. This happens automatically, without any real effort on your part. Alternatively, if you cannot make fresh juice each day, the next best thing is to drink a superfood product that you mix with water instead. There are many to choose from in this category. I’ve recommended Rejuvenate (http://www.naturalnews.com/028242_Rejuvenate_superfood.html), Boku Superfood (http://www.naturalnews.com/024479_superfoods_Boku_Superfood.html), Pure Synergy (http://www.naturalnews.com/027006_food_vitamins_nutrition.html), Healthforce Nutritionals (http://www.naturalnews.com/023398_Jameth_Sheridan_Healthforce.html), Living Fuel (http://www.naturalnews.com/021637.html) and so on. These aren’t quite as fresh and “alive” as homemade juice made from fresh produce, but they’re the next best thing, and they do provide a wide assortment of nutrients that you normally don’t get in fresh produce (such as super-healthful seaweed extracts). Do not make the mistake of thinking that pasteurized, bottled “superfood” products bought from the store (such as Naked Juice or Odwalla) are an equivalent replacement for real superfood products. They are pasteurized and do not meet my requirements for high-end superfood beverages. They’re better than Coke and Pepsi, of course, but not as good as the superfood products listed above. Eating more really works! So far, then, we’ve talked about eating MORE food to improve your health: • Eat three fresh raw fruits each day (one before each major meal) • Eat a handful of superfood supplements each day • Eat more full-spectrum salt (ideally as a replacement for processed “refined” salt) • Drink a fresh superfood smoothie each day And remember, during all this, you’re not going to think much about what to avoid. Instead, you’re just going to focus on what to ADD to your diet! Eat whatever else you’re normally eating; just add these four things to your daily diet. By doing so, you will find remarkable things happening with your health even if the rest of your diet isn’t the greatest in the world . You see, you don’t have to focus on the things you shouldn’t eat. Instead, you can greatly reduce your stress and increase your enjoyment in life by simply adding more things to your diet and letting your biology put them to good use. Focus on what you’re adding! This is a very different approach to health than what you might normally get from a more strict dietary regimen. Strict dieting works for some people, but not most. Most people are still going to eat at restaurants, or pick up a snack from time to time, or snarf down some processed foods at some point during the day. The approach I’ve outlined here gives all those people a powerful nutritional advantage that displaces many of those foods with something far better. I’ve found that this approach works even for super busy people who are under a lot of stress and don’t have time to think about all the details of which foods and ingredients to avoid. All they have to remember is to add four things to their day: • Three fresh fruits • A handful of superfood supplements • Full-spectrum salt • A superfood smoothie … and a partridge in a pear tree.

Medicinal wormwood applications

People have always been looking for cures for the problems they had. In almost all ancient cultures, medicinal herbs have had an important role, either in a medical or in another sense. Throughout history, knowledge of medicinal herbs and their applications, increased with time, so that nowadays there is already a relatively large collection of [...]

Heal Yourself in 15 Days by Cleaning Up Your Skin Exposure (Part Ten)

(NaturalNews) Continuing with our 15-day self healing series, today we focus on cleaning up your skin exposures . By “skin exposures,” I mean all the things your skin comes into contact with… and the sheer quantity of those things will probably surprise you. But first, let’s get something out of the way that’s crucial to all this. The consumer products industry wants you to believe their “Big Lie”. The Big Lie is that chemicals you put on your skin don’t get absorbed into your bloodstream. So there’s no need to make sure consumer products are actually safe. The FDA and most members of the conventional medical community also believe this lie: They don’t acknowledge the absorption properties of the skin, so they tend to say that all the things you put on your skin are perfectly safe for your health even if they contain toxic chemicals . (Of course, these very same people then promote nicotine patches and other drugs delivered through the skin, so they do indirectly acknowledge that the skin absorbs chemicals.) How many different products come into contact with your skin on a regular basis? You’d be shocked to consider all the sources: • Perfumes, colognes and other fragrance products. • Shampoo. • Shower soap or shower gel products. • Pesticides used on your lawn which are carried to you through pets or children. • Skin creams. • Sunscreen products. • Cosmetics. • Antibacterial hand soaps. • Laundry detergents and dryer sheets (through your clothing). • Dish soaps. • Furniture polishes. • Household cleaners such as window cleaners. • Artificial dyes found in clothing. • Feminine hygiene products. • Deodorants and anti-perspirants. • Shaving creams and after-shave products. • Hair dyes. • Massage oils and lotions. • Hair sculpting products and hair sprays. • Tattoos and temporary skin art. • Insect repellants. • Over-the-counter creams: Anti-itch, pain creams, etc. • Chlorine in your shower water. • Anti-flea and tick chemicals acquired by touching your pets. Cancer-causing chemicals If you look at all these products whose ingredients come into contact with your skin, you’ll begin to realize something quite disturbing: They’re loaded with cancer-causing chemicals! The average perfume product, just as an example, contains over twenty cancer-causing chemicals all by itself — and these are never even listed on the label. Antibacterial soaps are made with a chemical that’s similar to the nerve toxin chemical called Agent Orange which was used as a chemical weapon in the Vietnam War. Hair dyes contain highly toxic chemical solvents . Conventional laundry detergents are made with extremely toxic cancer-causing fragrance chemicals. Conventional cosmetics are loaded with not just cancer-causing chemicals, but also heavy metals like lead. Lawn pesticides contain chemicals that promote Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. The list goes on and on… The products listed above probably contain over 10,000 different synthetic chemicals, and virtually none of them have ever been safety tested or approved as safe for human consumption by any federal agency . The EPA doesn’t even know what many of these chemicals are because companies claim they need to protect their formulation “trade secrets” by not even listing the ingredients on product labels. But think about these 10,000 chemicals for a moment and ask yourself this question: Why are you putting them on your skin? Mainstream consumers poison themselves Consumers are very easy to covertly influence through corporate advertising. I’m particularly struck by the advertising of a cologne product called “Axe” which is marketed to clueless teenage boys who naively believe that wearing these toxic chemicals will magically bring them hoards of slutty women who want to have sex with them. That’s the underlying message of the Axe Cologne advertising, anyway. So these teenage boys buy up these Axe products which include cologne, deodorant and shampoo. Naturally, they’re oblivious to the fact that these products are made with artificial, synthetic fragrance chemicals that are absorbed right through the skin. None of these chemicals have been approved as safe for human consumption by the FDA, of course. But young men coat their bodies with these chemicals with no regard for their own health, thinking that smelling like Axe will reward you with female companionship. And the ads work! Axe sales are through the roof. Sex sells everything… even synthetic chemicals. Are you poisoning yourself, too? But if you think these teenage boys are silly for buying such products, think about your own personal care products. Do you buy conventional shampoo? Sunscreens? Lotions? Cosmetics? Which toxic products are still in your own bathroom, kitchen or garage? I’ve visited a lot of homes of people who told me they were “super health conscious.” Yet in almost every case when I visit such homes, I still find they’re using conventional laundry detergents, brand-name soaps in the bathroom, toxic skin lotions and baby products, etc. It is extremely rare for me to walk into someone’s house and not find a huge assortment of cancer-causing products there. People are poisoning themselves by poisoning their skin with synthetic chemicals. And they still think they’re “health conscious!” Most people, you see, are kidding themselves about protecting their skin from toxic, cancer-causing products. They may follow a fairly healthy diet, but they still bathe their skin in chemicals that damage the brain, liver, heart and kidneys. For some strange reason, many people who are acutely aware of what they put in their mouth are surprisingly unaware of what’s contained in the products they put on their skin. The point of this article is to raise your awareness of what’s in the products your skin comes into contact with, and then to take new action to get all those toxic products out of your home. Action items: What you can do right now This may sound crazy, but here’s what I want you to do: Go through your entire house, covering every room including the garage, under the kitchen sink, the bathroom closet and so on. Gather up every “chemical” product and throw them all out. (You’re poisoning the environment by doing so, of course, but you’re going to make up for that by never buying these products again…) This includes all your conventional cosmetics, soaps, shampoos, fragrance products, cleaning products, laundry products, bug sprays, air “fresheners” and the whole lot. Gather them all up and throw them out. More importantly make a commitment to never buy these products again. That’s the only way to enjoy a long-term benefit for your health, of course. Once this is done, begin to detox your body from these synthetic chemicals using a variety of detox products: Zeolites, chlorella supplements, cilantro, spirulina, etc. Drink a lot of water. Take liver detox herbs to support healthy liver function during all this. (I recommend Livatrex from www.GHChealth.com ). Within just a few days, your chemical burden will start to fall as your body eliminates the chemicals that have been routinely poisoning it. After six months, your chemical load can drop as much as 90 percent, greatly reducing the chemical stress on your liver and kidneys while sharply reducing your risk of cancer and other neurological disorders. Over time, your health will improve as your exposure to synthetic chemicals plummets. This action, combined with all the other steps in this 15-day self healing series, will vastly improve your health while slowing or even halting the development of many different degenerative diseases such as cancer, liver disease or Alzheimer’s.

Heal yourself in 15 days by correcting your "nature deficiency" (part nine)

(NaturalNews) Do you suffer from a “nature deficiency?” If you’d like most people in modern society, you spend most of your 24 hours of the day indoors . You work under artificial fluorescent lights, you eat and sleep inside a house or apartment, you commute in the artificial environment of a car, bus or train. You rarely get outside and even when you do, it’s not real nature — it’s some artificial “planned” park with concrete sidewalks and maintained lawns. I suspect you may have a nature deficiency. I know because I’ve been there. Probably much like you, I spent a lot of time outdoors as a child, but in my adult years, I found myself spending more and more hours indoors . It didn’t take long to realize that breathing re-circulated indoor air and having little or no time in nature wasn’t a good recipe for lifelong health. Today, I’m a nature advocate . Time in nature is healing all by itself, and children are especially vulnerable to the negative effects of a nature deficiency. But few people in the field of conventional medicine embrace the idea that nature itself a healer , so the message of spending time in nature to improve your health doesn’t get much attention. However, I believe that not spending enough time in nature promotes depression, obesity and even cancer. In fact, I believe that nature is so important to lasting health that I took up permanent residency in a country where I have spring-like weather year-round, just so that I can be outside in nature every single day of the year! That’s not possible to do in most places, but wherever you are, more time in nature can help you heal . Here’s how: How spending time in nature helps you heal • Sunlight Sunlight supports all life on our planet. Without sunlight, we would simply have no life on Earth. Your body is designed to be exposed to sensible levels of sunlight, and that’s why experiencing a reasonable amount of sunlight directly on your skin makes good sense for your health. As you well know, sunlight also causes your skin to generate vitamin D — perhaps the most miraculous nutrient yet discovered in the modern world. Vitamin D prevents cancer, heart disease and diabetes. It boosts bone density and immune function, and it prevents infectious disease far better than vaccines could ever hope to. To get more vitamin D, simply spend more time in nature! • Natural sounds The natural sounds of nature are, in and of themselves, healing therapy. Simply surrounding yourself with the sounds of real nature causes a scientifically-provable reduction in stress levels and blood pressure. The most powerful healing sounds in nature seem to be those from water : Waterfalls, water running down a creek or stream, rain and thunderstorms, etc. You can mimic these sounds with “sound conditioning” devices that broadcast sound loops of natural sounds. They’re very effective machines, but still nothing equals the healing potential of real sounds experienced directly in the real world. • Colors The colors of nature are, scientifically speaking, different wavelengths of light striking your retina and being interpreted as colors by your brain. These different wavelengths are, in essence, a form of energy medicine . Light is energy, and what your body needs to be healthy is exposure to a diverse assortment of those energy wavelengths. That’s why looking at all the various colors of flowers, plants and animals is, by itself, a healing experience. It also stimulates the brain to become more active and more intelligent . Spending more time in nature allows your brain to explore a more diverse natural reality, causing it to function at a higher cognitive level. Dull people, in contrast, tend to spend a lot of time indoors where the scenery never changes. • Movement Being in nature makes physical movement almost mandatory. When you’re in nature, you’re often walking, running, biking or swimming. And yet because the scenery is so beautiful, it doesn’t feel like exercise! It simply feels like fun! The health benefits of all this movement are tremendous: A boost in circulation, increased bone density and muscle strength, increased flexibility, lymph fluid circulation and much more. And yet being in nature allows you to experience all these benefits without it feeling like hard work. • Air There’s something qualitatively different about fresh air versus indoor air . Indoor air is contaminated with chemicals that have been off-gassed from all the synthetic materials used in the construction of homes and buildings: Carpets, furniture, paints, glues, dyes and so on. Plus, you often get mold spores from indoor air ducts. The air in a living pine tree forest (or any forest) is refreshingly different! Some people attribute it to the “negative ions” in the air, but there’s much more to it than that. There’s something almost magical about fresh air in a natural environment — it’s “sweet” and energizing! The more time you can spend in nature, the more fresh air you can take into your lungs and enjoy as a healing experience. It’s an innate thing to desire “fresh air.” Every person on the planet intuitively knows that fresh air is better than indoor air. Ever wonder why this knowledge is so deeply imbedded in the human brain? • Microbes Western medicine believes that sterility is safety . They want people to live in a sterile environment, where all the microbes in your environment (or on your food) are killed by antimicrobial soaps and pharmaceutical drugs. But certain microbes are very important for your health! Exposure to microbes in the real world is hugely important for the healthy balance and functioning of your immune system, and the best place to have exposure to these microbes is out in nature! When I was a kid growing up, I played in the dirt. I swam in the pond. I camped out on the grass. Today, many parents would be horrified to allow their children to even touch dirt or swim in the “non-sanitized” water of a natural stream. This obsession with sterility is deeply misguided. Seek out nature and don’t be afraid to experience the real world even if it means getting your hands dirty. • Bio energy Beyond the light, the sounds, the air and all the other healing elements of nature, there’s also something less tangible: The bio energy of living systems. In some way that scientists still don’t understand, lush living ecosystems “recharge” the human body and mind. Spending time in nature rejuvenates your system, and when city life leaves you feeling depleted, nature can bring your energy back. Part of the magic of the bio-energy in nature depends on coming into physical contact with nature . Walk barefoot. Hug a tree. Touch a flower. Lie down on the grass. Touch nature as your body intended and you’ll create a closed circuit with the planet itself. Some people say that being electrically “grounded” with the earth (through barefoot walking) makes an important difference in reducing the electric “noise” that interferes with your health. There’s merit to this thinking. Your ancient ancestors didn’t walk around in Nike shoes . They walked barefoot, and they were healthier for it! Kids suffer from nature deficiency, too! Most modern children live their lives indoors, banging away on gaming consoles and social networking websites. Few children are offered opportunities to spend any real time outdoors, in nature. The idea of “going to camp” during the summer seems to have been lost on the current generation of children, most of whom spend their summers in air-conditioned environments that are highly detrimental to their health. One of the greatest gifts you can offer any child is time in nature . And the earlier you start teaching children about the joys of nature, the more success you’ll have in sharing outdoor experiences with them. Plus, introducing your children (or grandchildren) to more time in nature means that you get more time in nature, too . One way to encourage time in nature, by the way, is to get rid of the TV . Television is the enemy of the natural world, and the more time children (or adults) spend in front of the TV, the less time they tend to spend in nature. Once children spend enough time in front of the TV, they won’t even want to venture into nature at all. Their whole “world” becomes the virtual world broadcast into their brains from the television set. For teenage boys, time in nature has largely been replaced with time spent playing computer games and console games. While there’s nothing wrong with a little time spent gaming, when this act becomes the dominant focus of a child’s life, it is hugely destructive. What these children need is more time in the real world and a lot less time in virtual worlds. Seriously: I’ve often thought that somebody should launch a “nature camp” business that would offer rehab services for teenage boys who are addicted to gaming. It would be a hugely successful business given how widespread modern gaming addiction has become. In any case, whether you have kids or not, spending more time in nature will vastly improve your health! So make it a point to get outside, soak up some sunshine, breathe in the fresh air and get all the nature you can! You’ll be healthier, happier, more fit and even more intelligent for doing so!

Heal yourself in 15 days by rejecting the crowd (part seven)

(NaturalNews) This article continues with part seven of our 15-day “Heal Yourself” series. It begins with the idea of observing the poor health of the mainstream crowd: Do you want to be as diseased as they are? If so, simply do what they do! Let’s face it: The “mainstream consumer” isn’t very healthy. People who follow mainstream health information from the mainstream media are the most diseased people of all. They eat processed junk foods, they take lots of dangerous pharmaceuticals, they routinely get vaccinated and they completely fail to protect their health with nutritional supplements, superfoods or fresh living foods. These are the people supporting the pharmaceutical industry, the cancer industry, the diabetes industry and the heart disease industry. Through their suffering and death, they keep the medical system alive and profitable. And if you want to be healthy, these are precisely the people you need to reject in order to be safe and healthy yourself. Don’t follow the crowd off the edge of the cliff The crowd, you see, is pretty stupid when it comes to health. Crowd psychology tells us that people tend to follow whatever the crowd is doing for no reason other than the fact the crowd is doing it. The human mind figures, “Well, if the crowd is doing that, there must be a good reason for it,” and so people just go along with practically anything as long the crowd supports it. This is how people end up drinking sugary sodas, eating at fast food restaurants, drinking pasteurized milk and living on processed junk foods. This is how they end up eating microwaveable popcorn, or drinking diet sodas or consuming “processed cheese food.” This is what causes people to get vaccines that they don’t need or take dangerous prescription medications that might harm them (or kill them). The crowd is stupid — even when individual members of the crowd might be highly intelligent on their own! And if you follow the crowd without thinking for yourself, you can only expect the same outcome the crowd is experiencing: Degenerative disease, pharmaceutical dependency and medical bankruptcy. That’s why achieving lasting health means distancing yourself from the mainstream crowd and in many cases doing the opposite of what they do. You’ll be healthier by doing the opposite of the mainstream When the mainstream crowd rushes to get vaccinated against a hyped-up, non-emergency “pandemic”, just do the opposite and don’t get vaccinated . When the mainstream crowd rushes to get free chicken at KFC because Oprah announced it on her show, do the opposite and go drink a smoothie or something. When the mainstream crowd rushes to be subjected to mammography radiation (which actually promotes breast cancer), do the opposite and get a far safer thermograph (or just take a healthy dose of anti-cancer vitamin D and stop living your life in fear of cancer). When the mainstream crowd pops pills for depression, cholesterol and high blood pressure, do the opposite and take nutritional supplements that nourish the body instead of poisoning it. Basically, watch what the mainstream consumers do and make a conscious effort to do the opposite (in most cases, anyway). Don’t leap from one mindless crowd to another While you’re doing all this, be careful not to leap from one mindless crowd to another. In rejecting the mainstream crowd, in other words, don’t fall blindly into following another crowd, even if it’s a “healthy” crowd. In my view, you should never follow any crowd just because it’s a crowd. That includes the raw food crowd, the yoga crowd, the vegetarian crowd, etc. Instead, think for yourself about what makes sense to you. And then, if your conclusions match their conclusions, it’s okay to join that group (or hang out with that crowd) as long as you continue to invoke a reality check from time to time. Make sure that what the crowd is doing always makes good sense to you and you won’t be blindsided by crowd stupidity. Crowds usually aren’t very smart. But YOU are! You have the ability to think for yourself, to change your mind at any time, to improve your decisions, to upgrade or downgrade your lifestyle, etc. Exercise these gifts where appropriate, and don’t be afraid to try out new eating habits, new exercise schedules and new approaches to self care. Find out what works best for you, regardless of whether a “crowd” exists that practices the same thing. Don’t be a mindless health nut, in other words. Be mindfully health conscious and go with what works best for you rather than what’s popular or cool. Check in with yourself from time to time Most of all, if you ever find yourself going along with the mainstream crowd — like waiting in line at a crowded vaccine clinic — it might be a good idea to pinch yourself and engage in a little lucid thinking by asking questions like, “Should I really be here? Does this really make sense? Is there a safer, more natural alternative that I could explore instead?” Think about this the next time you’re about to get your breast pancaked at the mammography clinic. “Does irradiating my breasts really make good sense?” Of course it doesn’t. People only do it because they are going along with the mainstream crowd. And the crowd is clueless about breast health, ionizing radiation, vitamin D or cancer prevention. So be smart. Be an individual. And be brave enough to reject the crowd and do something different that’s probably a whole lot safer and healthier. Getting sunlight on your skin to generate vitamin D is rejecting the crowd. And yet it’s the very best way to prevent cancer for FREE!
