Health Conditions - an introduction

What is good health?  

Health is the optimum operation of all your organs and cells.    If you viewed your health on a scale: 

100% - Perfect Health
80%
60% 
40% 
20% 
O% - Death

100% would be perfect health.  Everything functioned just the way it should.  You would have lots of energy and would have not attention on your body.  It would just work.  On the bottom of your scale =  0% would be the non-functioning of all your cells and your body.  This would be Death.

Now what about all those ranges in between?   Well, around 20%, on your way down, you would go into the realm of Disease.   This is the Medical Doctor's area of expertise and where they save people from incapacity and death.    The Medical Doctors are experts in this area.   and their tests and protocols will handle these situations.   They are experts on anything that  threatens your life and your ability to operate normally. This is where their energies are placed and this is where they shine.

100% - Perfect Health
80%
60% 
40% 
20% - Disease  
O% - Death

But, have you ever felt really bad,  you're not functioning at you best, you've got aches and pains, maybe you're really tired all the time.  You go to see your medical doctor and he/she does all the standard tests and they are all normal.   You may even take some highly sophisticated tests and they still show within the normal range.   But, you feel bad......

Well, you're in that range somewhere below 100% and above 20%.   Here is where you aren't in the range of disease, but in something we like to call dis-ease.   It isn't life threatening, but it threatens your well being and ability to live happily.

Around 80%, things aren't bad, but not perfect,  Around 60% you start getting those aches and pains and other non-optimal feelings.   You start feeling bad.

100% - Perfect Health
80% - Less than perfect
60% - Dis - Ease 
40% - Dis - Ease
20% - Disease  
O% - Death

How do you stop the plummet down the scale?  Well, you pay attention to what you eat.   You pay attention to the poisons in the air and the poisons you put in your body.    You find out what foods you need, or what supplements you need and start up the ladder again.   You make sure you exercise your body.

The body given the right fuel will run optimally.    Each cell will run well and the DNA will make a new perfect cell when it is time to reproduce itself.  However, if you don't give it the right nutritional ingredients, it won't be able to make a perfect copy.  

How does that work?

As an example, let's say you hired a contractor and asked him to build you a perfect replica of the Empire State Building.   He could do it, he is that good a contractor.  He knows the tools of his trade.    But, you the only materials you give him is plywood and nails.    He would do the best he could, but he wouldn't build that perfect replica.  And it wouldn't stand up the way the original did.

Built in the 30's with steel and concrete, a plane once crashed into one of the floors of the Empire State Building.   It didn't even destroy all the rooms on that floor.   The building still stood.    Most buildings can't stand up to that, built with lesser materials.    What if it had been built with plywood and nails?   You get the picture?    Well, why would your body behave differently .   If you only give it sugar,  caffeine, and an imbalance of what it needs, it isn't going to build really good cells that are capable of doing their job.

You can read in our article on Health Tips, about getting good food and about the fact that you can't always get the best food.    As we say throughout this site, we know you can't always eat well.   The answer supplementation.

Let's get back up the scale

Lots of non-optimum conditions are the result of years and years of poor eating.  Giving the body "plywood" instead of "steel" and "cement", 

What can you do about it?   Start giving your body the vital ingredients it  has been depleted of.   Continue to give your body all the ingredients it needs to build a healthy body.   Stop giving it that "plywood" and give it what it some "steel".  Or if there isn't a lot of good "steel" around, give it supplementation.   

Now the body is a bit more complicated.  It needs a lot of ingredients to create good health. 

Ingredients for health

There are forty nutrients that cannot be made in the body. They are essential fatty acids, 15 vitamins, 14 minerals, and 10 amino acids. Collectively these forty nutrients are spoken of as the body's requirements. From these our bodies synthesize an estimated 10,000 different compounds essential to the maintenance of health.  All the forty nutrients work together, therefore, the lack of any one might result in the underproduction of hundreds of these essential compounds. Probably no one nutrient is ever totally lacking from an otherwise adequate diet, but partial simultaneous deficiencies of many nutrients is common.

Now, you have to remember that it took years and years of bad eating and living in a polluted environment to bring the body into the condition that will produce non-optimum health conditions, and thus, you can't take the correct vitamins, minerals, fatty acids and amino acids for a day or two and expect to handle the situation.   True sometimes just a day or two makes you feel much much better because you've given your body those things it most needs.

But. supplements aren't drugs, they don't create instant results. Nutrition, both food and supplements, supply the body with those things it needs to build the cells that will make the body function correctly.

So, maybe it might take a few months to start seeing real changes, but you will see those changes.   One rule of thumb is that it will take you one month for each year that you have had a non-optimum health condition to make a change.   But, then again,  the body is resilient and it can start re-building and changing things very quickly.     But, remember, your body needs these things every day to function.  Don't drop our your supplement regiment because you feel better.  Start paying attention to what you eat, and make sure you take those vitamins, minerals, amino acids and fatty acids that are missing in your diet.

Now that you know the basics of supplementation, we want to introduce you to our index on Health Conditions and what you can do about those non-optimum body problems.
