Natural Health Tip - Silly Diets
By Gary Scott
One important way to protect your wealth is to remain healthy!
This is why eating peanuts, crackers and potato chips on an airplane is really
silly. It’s silly to eat them anywhere! Yet a huge number of forces try
every day to lure us into an unhealthy lifestyle. See http://www.garyascott.com/archives/2001/06/09/291/index.html
Although there may not be a direct conspiracy between the
$1 trillion food industry (that creates numerous health problems) and the $1.5
trillion medical industry (that treats just the symptoms to get the target
consumer back to work and back to consume more really unhealthy food), the
economic effect was the same as if two industries were conspiring against the
American consumer in the most sinister fashion. Huge corporations are marketing
numerous poisons and luring our families into having them in our bodies and
homes. Most people buy these foods because it is convenient. What could be
sillier than this?
Eating junk food creates numerous problems including difficulties
in the spine. This is why we continue the serial we began last Friday about
the spine written by Dr. Joe Culbertson DC.
“Let’s begin with the hardest concept for me to
explain. Several chapters of “Secrets of the Spine: the True Mind/Body
Connection” were required to clarify how important the spine really is.
“The spine is much more than a bony structure that holds
us upright. Unfortunately the spine is perceived as just a stack of bones by
many in the allopathic medical world. It’s true that this structure is
made of bones, muscles and ligaments. The spine does keep our head above our
body as we move from moment to moment. The spine is also much more than just
a tower that allows us to navigate through the gravitational field of this
planet. The spine bends and twists as we maneuver through life. The spine shifts
with every thought we have about life. It is a precise mirror of who we are.
With every thought we have, the interrelationships of bones, muscles, ligaments,
and nerves are altered in and through the spine. These deviations are minute,
often imperceptible, but no matter how small, the changes in the spine have
gigantic effects on the body.
“The nervous system is the key.
“The impact of the spine on our health comes because
the nervous system dictates exactly how every part of the body should function.
The spinal cord runs through all the segments of the spine. Between each segment,
a nerve comes off the cord, exits the spinal column and connects a part of
the body. These are peripheral nerves. The spine affects the peripheral nerves.
The peripheral nerves affect every organ. For instance, the peripheral nerve
from the tenth thoracic vertebra rules the kidney. If the spine deviates from
a healthy alignment, this nerve supply is adversely affected resulting in an
improper functioning in that organ.
“This is true of the entire spine but especially of
the twelve vertebrae that make up the thoracic section of the spine. The peripheral
nerves, that the placement of the twelve thoracic segments influence, go to
and therefore affect almost every major organ and system of the body. A slight
almost imperceptible misalignment of any of these twelve could result in a
disruption of the cardiovascular, respiratory, immune, endocrine, digestive,
urinary, and lymphatic systems of the body. More often than not the deviations
to the thoracic region do not cause bio-mechanical symptoms (back problems)
yet their influence upon the heart, lungs, liver, gall bladder, kidneys, spleen,
pancreas, stomach, and small intestines could result in every major difficulty
these organs are likely to incur. In addition, misalignments of this part of
the spine have been directly associated with problems in the neck and lower
back.”
Here is the crunch. The spinal nutritional process works backwards
as well as forwards. If you hurt the spine it can stress organs. Because all
the body is connected via the nervous system if we eat wrong we can negatively
affect organs which in turns create spinal problems! In short a bad back can
be caused by poor nutrition!

Join us with Dr. Terry Hambrick DC this August for a weekend
course that will help you learn how to eat in wasy that balance your pH. Balancing
pH on a regular basis is vital because it is a easy way to monitor our health
and to optimize our health on a daily basis. Your pH balance is an index of
the total health of the body. When the pH is too high or too low, it can lead
to disease. At the course, you'll learn about the life force energy that is
the ultimate "balancing factor" of the body and how a balanced pH
has far-reaching consequences on mental, emotional and spiritual health. To
enroll or for more details contact Merri at merri@littlehorsecreek.com
