1) INTRODUCTION
In my work as a health educator, one of the phrases I often use is "Your body does not come with an owner's manual". Then, one day as I prepared to go to another public speaking engagement, I had a thought: "Why not write an owner's manual for the human body?" Out of that idea has come this book.
After some research, it became clear to me that the basic recommendations boiled down to two things: Cleansing and Nutrition. These two, combined with moderate exercise, clean water to drink, clean air to breathe, a positive mental attitude and a reason for living, I believe are the keys to health and longevity. This is a simple idea, but it seems to get overlooked in our headlong search for magic cures and silver bullets.
Allopathy states that disease is caused by invading agents labeled bacteria, viruses, parasites and fungi. Naturopathy states that if there are no toxins in the body, there will be no disease.
The analogy I like to use is that of the garbage strike. When the workers are off the job, the garbage piles up and up, and soon attracts flies and then rats. You can go in and kill all the flies and shoot all the rats, but if the garbage is not cleaned up, there will soon be more flies and more rats, and nothing will have been gained.
Are the flies and rats the root of the problem? No. They are simply nature's way of cleaning up a mess -- just part of a team that will eventually turn the garbage into fertile soil so that the cycle can begin again. It is pointless to blame them for anything, because they had nothing to do with creating the original problem and, in fact, are part of the solution.
Similarly, in our bodies, if toxins are allowed to build up, eventually yeast, bacteria, viruses and parasites will move in to clean up the garbage, resulting in what we call disease. These agents of nature are not the cause of disease. Rather, they are the cleanup crew.
Allopathy treats symptoms with antibiotics, radiation, and poisonous chemicals, all of which suppress the body's natural immune system. When these fail, the last resort is amputation of body parts. Naturopathy states that the way to treat and prevent any disease is the same: clean out all toxins from the body. And once these causes of disease are removed, nutrition will supply the building blocks the body requires to rejuvenate the system.
An analogy I often use to help people understand their own body is that of the automobile. It is a sad state of affairs that people know how to look after their cars better than their bodies. Be that as it may, I use it to advantage as follows:
Automobile ======================== Human Body
Engine =========================== Circulatory system
Cylinders ========================= Mitochondria
Oil pump ========================= Heart
Oil ============================= Blood with cholesterol
Oil filter ========================== Liver
Water coolant ====================== Lymph
Computer ========================= Brain & memory
Sensors =========================== Nervous system
Gasoline =========================== Food
Warning lights ======================== Pain
Headlights =========================== Eyes
Air filter ============================= Nose, bronchial tubes
Thermostat =========================== Hypothalamus
Chassis ============================= Skeleton
Tires =============================== Hands and feet
Catalytic converter ===================== Kidneys
Horn ============================== Voice
Vinyl roof ========================== Hair
Sheet steel & paint =================== Skin
Windshield washer fluid ================ Tears
Exhaust system ====================== Intestines
Tailpipe ============================ Colon
Water pump --------
Note that there is no pump for the lymph in the human body. The muscles of the body provide the necessary pumping action, and therefore it is necessary to provide lymphatic circulation by brisk walking, Tai Chi, rebounder or swimming. Otherwise, the lymph circulates very slowly (once in 24 hours) and it can build up with toxins.
