I spent 24 years providing direct patient care to individuals suffering from acute and chronic illnesses in hospitals, nursing homes, private homes and private medical offices. I have worked on nearly every patient floor in three different hospitals. I have seen nearly every type of illness and disease our society faces today. During my years of caring for the ill and diseased, I wondered why the number of people suffering from illness continues to rise every year when we’ve seen such advancements in science, testing, screening, surgery and medication.
Then it dawned on me and I suddenly I realized that the current state of our health care industry, being driven by the pharmaceutical companies and medical facilities, is teaching people how to be sick instead of how to be well. It offers, not the cure, but, only the diagnostics and treatment methods through which one can cope with the misery of the symptoms they are suffering from.
Watching our population suffer to such a massive extent inspired me to develop a simple 10 step plan to help people understand wellness and conquer chronic illness. |
Stepping back to look at the big picture, its simple to recognize several things that seem to accelerate the spread of illness and disease. 1. We live at a much faster pace today, which has increased our level of stress and driven us to create methods of convenience. 2. We have developed all sorts of chemical warfare against insects to improve crop yields and feed the masses, which has ultimately corrupted our food chain and poisoned our food. 3. Most of our population lives and works in large cities, resulting in very few people owning gardens to feed their families. This means most food is bought at a supermarket, leaving the masses to the mercy of corporate America, who is focused on money, not health. This is a dangerous position.
I think back a few hundred years when this country belonged to the Native Americans and the land was cared for with respect. Animals were hunted only as needed and the entire animal was used for the benefit of all. Streams were pure, and fish were healthy. These people took from the streams and lakes only what they needed for that day. The things they couldn’t hunt were gathered freely from the earth. The only source of transportation was on foot or horseback.Exercise was a way of life. They were in harmonious sync with the earth and the nature around them. That was a safe position.
So, I went back to school. I began to look again at the basics and the natural state of the human body. I wanted to understand our human machine and simplify its inner workings so that the readers and listeners of this book could easily understand how their body works. If you can understand a few simple facts about how your body behaves, you can initiate your own restoration to health.
I offer 10 proven steps for conquering chronic illness to those looking to restore their health. These steps may challenge your beliefs and your lifestyle as they highlight truth. People often respond with, “I do what I want, and I eat how I want.” These 10 steps are simple but may not feel easy. They are however, specially designed for anyone suffering from chronic illness and/or chronic pain who desires a better life.
I encourage you to open your mind and discover that YOU are NOT what You THOUGHT! - that restoration to health IS possible!

How much protein should I have a day?
So a little known secret, human mothers only produce 6% protein in their milk when nursing an infant in the development stage. Which simply put, when your human "house" was being built the trucks and tractors brought all the "building materials" to build you. During this process you only required 6% protein. Not that your human "house" is already built, how many trucks and tractors should keep bring more building materials? It is rare for a person to need more than 10-12% of their daily intake to be from protein. READ MORE

High cholesterol is most often caused by an imbalance in the omega 3: omega 6 ratio. This typically stems from consuming grain fed beef, grain fed pork, grain fed chicken and grain fed turkey. Feeding the animals grain instead of grasses changes the omega 3 and 6 in their meat. So first and foremost, eat only grass feed animals. Secondly add cold pressed chia seed oil and/or flax seed oil to your diet. In addition, eat walnuts if you are not allergic to them. These will help you change the ration and stop the build up of bad cholesterol. Stay away from canola oil and all margarines. READ MORE
