BAI-ZHU ROOT (DR.C) - QUINARY

THE INTEGRATION OF NATURAL BALANCE is easily attained, and in a relatively short period of time after beginning a pure foods oriented diet and withdrawing from dangerous pharmaceuticals, nutritionless chemical and fortifier-laden processed foods and conventional vitamin supplements. Even though over the past two or three generations, we as a race of modern men might have forgotten what real food is, our human bodies having known food for as long as we�ve been human haven�t forgotten. When by Health Food Store wellness criteria we are already in relatively good health, even within hours of ingesting pure food the body responds favorably. Merely adding 20 glasses of water a day to the same old diet will produce results that may be characterized as profound. But as a result of consciously eating pure, healthy, high fiber, high protein, high energy foods, and drinking larger quantities of water, herbal teas and/or fruit and vegetable juices, and with the ingestion of more liquids generally, nothing is the same. It�s even easier to escape the caffeine, sugar and tobacco trap, without having the chore of having to quit. As the body adjusts to the pure foods, it has less craving for the impurities and poisons that serve as a convenient desensitizing agent for a body suffering from malnutrition-related illness, disease, and compulsive addictions. As the body begins to restore its own balance, there is no longer the need to keep one�s own balance or equilibrium. Given pure and natural foods for the human diet, the body will find�s it�s own perfect and natural balance, and correct weight. Men have nutritional needs that women don�t have. Women have nutritional needs that men don�t have. In our modern world the nutritional needs of men and women aren�t being met at most health food and grocery stores, while the medical industry profits, and with the blessings of the FDA, people who don�t take charge of their own health care are as sick and tired as ever. People who take charge of their own health care, and self-medicate with vitamin supplements and medicinal herbs are not so bad off, but the people who have given over the health of their to their body by supplying it with pure clean foods, water and herbal foods are no longer subject to sickness or fatigue.

BIOBALANCE Balance between the anaerobic bacteria and aerobic bacteria within the biological terrain is essential for optimal health. Imbalance can weaken ones immune system unless it's kept in check. This biological balance can be enhanced by washing your hands a few times a day and keeping ones bacteria laden hands and fingers away from ones nose and eyes. Years ago, Dennis Seaton correlated these "self-inoculations" of bacteria via the fingernails to the bodies albumin count. The longer living individuals were shown to have higher albumin counts compared to the less healthier, immune-system compromised individuals. The importance of hand washing has been confirmed within the last few years to such an extent that a number of "antibacterial" soaps have been introduced to the mainstream public. Surprisingly enough, the latest research implicates the overuse of these antibacterial soaps are causing the bacteria to mutate into more virulent strains thus making antibiotics ineffective. The important aspect of this issue is not to kill these bacteria but to create a biological terrain that will maintain a healthy balance between the two! Seaton's research clearly indicated this and today's research is now confirming this "balancing" approach is the best way! Remember to wash your hands without using antibacterial soap and keep your hands away from your face and use BioBalance to accelerate the process. [MORE]
