By now, you already have a sense of how metabolism relates to weight loss (catabolic metabolism, or breaking cells down and transforming them into energy). To understand this process even more clearly, we can introduce a very important player in the weight loss game: the calorie.

Calories

Calories are simply units of measure. They aren’t actually things in and of themselves; they are labels for other things, just like how an inch really isn’t anything, but it measures the distance between two points. So what do calories measure? Easy: they measure energy.

Yup, the evil calorie – the bane of the dieter’s existence – is really just a 3-syllable label for energy. And it’s important to highlight this, because the body itself, despite its vast intelligence (much of which medical science cannot yet understand, only appreciate in awe) does not really do a very intelligent job of distinguishing good energy from bad.

Actually, to be blunt, the body doesn’t care about where the energy comes from. Let’s explore this a little more, because it’s very important to the overall understanding of how to boost your metabolism, particularly when we look at food choices. In our choice-laden grocery stores, with dozens of varieties of foods – hundreds, perhaps – there seems to be a fairly clear awareness of what’s good food, and what’s bad or junk food.

For example, we don’t need a book to remind us that, all else being equal, a plum is a good food, whereas a tub of thick and creamy double-fudge ice cream is a bad food. Not bad tasting, of course; but, really, you won’t find many fit people eating a vat of ice cream a day, for obvious reasons. So what does this have to do with calories and energy? It’s this: while you and I can evaluate our food choices and say that something (like a plum) is a healthy source of energy, and something else (like a tub of ice cream) is an unhealthy source of energy, the body doesn’t evaluate. 

Really. It sounds strange and amazing, but the body really doesn’t care. To the body, energy is energy. It takes whatever it gets, and doesn’t really know that some foods are healthier than others. It’s kind of like a garbage disposal: it takes what you put down it, whether it should go down or not. So let’s apply this to the body, and to weight gain. When the body receives a calorie – which, as we know, is merely a label for energy – it must do something with that energy.

In other words, putting all other nutrients and minerals aside, if a plum delivers 100 calories to the body, it has to accept those 100 calories. The same goes for 500 calories from a (small) tub of ice cream: those 500 calories have to be dealt with. Now, the body does two things to that energy: it either metabolizes it via anabolism, or it metabolizes it via catabolism. That is, it will either convert the energy (calories) into cells/tissue, or it will use that energy (calories) to break down cells.

Now the link between calories/energy, metabolism, and weight loss becomes rather clear and direct. When there is an excess of energy, and the body can’t use this energy to deal with any needs at the time, it will be forced to create cells with that extra energy. It has to. It doesn’t necessarily want to, but after figuring out that the energy can’t be used to do anything (such as help you exercise or digest some food), it has to turn it into cells through anabolism.

And those extra cells? Yup, you guessed it: added weight! In a nutshell (and nuts have lots of calories by the way, so watch out and eat them in small portions...), the whole calorie/metabolism/weight gain thing is really just about excess energy. When there are too many calories in the body – that is, when there’s too much energy from food – then the body transforms those calories into stuff. And that stuff, most of the time, is fat. Sometimes, of course, those extra calories are transformed into muscle; and this is usually a good thing for those watching their weight or trying to maintain an optimal body fat ratio.

In fact, because muscles require calories to maintain, people with strong muscle tone burn calories without actually doing anything; their metabolism burns it for them. This is the primary reason why exercising and building lean muscle is part of an overall program to boost your metabolism; because the more lean muscle you have, the more places excess calories can go before they’re turned into fat.

A Final Word About Fat

There’s a nasty rumor floating around out there that fat cells are permanent. And the nastiest thing about this rumor is that it’s true. Yes, most experts conceded that fat cells – once created – are there for life. Yet this doesn’t spell doom and gloom to those of us who could stand to drop a few pounds. Because even though experts believe that fat cells are permanent, they also agree that fat cells can be shrunk. So even if the absolute number of fat cells in your body remains the same, their size - and hence their appearance and percentage of your overall weight - can be reduced.

Recap

So while we haven’t gone into any medical detail – because we don’t need to or want to – we have covered some key basics about metabolism. In fact, you probably know as much about metabolism now as many so-called experts. The bottom line is simply that metabolism represents a process – countless processes, in fact – that convert food into energy. When this process creates cells, it’s called anabolism. When this process breaks cells down, it’s called catabolism.

For people trying to lose weight, it’s important to experience catabolism. That is, it’s important convert food into energy that is used to break cells down. Catabolism is also important because it prevents excess energy (calories) from being stored by the body. Remember: when the body has too many calories – regardless of what food source those calories came from – it can only do two things. It can desperately try and see if you have any energy needs (like maybe you’re running a marathon at the time).

Or, more often, it will have to store those calories. It has no choice. And unless you have lean muscle that is gobbling up those excess calories, you’ll be adding fat. The remainder of this book, however, is going to point you in the opposite direction. You’ll learn various techniques, tips, and strategies to boost your metabolism.

Diet - There is not a known remedy that will cure diabetes without a reformation along the lines that caused it. The number one dietary consideration for diabetes must be a strict vegetarian, low calorie, alkaline diet of high quality natural foods. Plenty of whole grains, bran and oatmeal are very beneficial in diabetes, as well as raw vegetables of all kinds - red cabbage, cauliflower, watercress, brussel sprouts, okra, cucumbers, onions, etc. 

A big emphasis needs to be placed on raw foods as they stimulate the pancreas and increase insulin poduction. Green beans and cucumber juice contain a hormone needed by the cells of the pancreas in order to produce insulin. No table sugar should be used. When sugar is eaten and absorbed into the blood stream, it requires insulin and a trace element called chromium to move the sugar from the blood stream into the cells where it can be burned for energy. 

In the diabetic the insulin is missing. There fore sugar piles up in the blood stream and cannot move into the cell. When insulin is given, the sugar is able to move into the cell and the sugar level will drop in the blood stream. If chromium is missing, the blood sugar will rise again, for the sugar is still not able to enter the cell. 

Chromium is available in many natural foods (especially whole grains), but most of it is removed when foods are refined. The average American diet is lacking in chromium. At birth we have a good supply of chromium, but as we get older we gradually lose it if we do not eat properly. 

Many older individuals are deficient in chromium. Why is this happening? When refined sugar is eaten, it requires chromium to be utilized. If none is taken in with food, chromium from the body stores, if available, has to be used. Thus chromium is gradually depleted and sickness occurs.

What about fresh fruits, as they contain sugar? Fresh fruits of all kinds are excellent for the diabetic. The sugar in fresh fruit is fructose sugar and is very different from the refined table sugar (which is sucrose sugar). When we eat sugar or starch our body breaks it down into simple sugar and the blood then carries it to the cells of the body. 

For this simple sugar to enter the cells it needs insulin and chromium, but if you have eaten only fructose sugar (the good kind that is found only in fresh fruits), no insulin is needed for the sugar to enter the cells. This is why a diabetic can eat all the fresh fruit desired, but no canned or frozen fruit juices (even if they are supposedly all natural). All of these are refined; they have been heated (even the frozen ones) and are hard for a diabetic to assimilate.

Use no free fats - only natural fats as found in avocados, nuts, etc. Recent studies show excess fat intake can decrease the number of receptors and/or deactivate them. This results in the gradual build up of sugar in the bloodstream. Dr. James Anderson, one of the most respected authorities on diabetes in the world, did a study with Dr. Kiehm.

They took thirteen diabetics off the 34 percent fat, 23 percent protein diet prescribed by the American Diabetes Association and fed them a 9 percent fat diet of mostly natural high fiber, starchy foods. Blood sugar levels were significantly lowered in all thirteen. All five patients taking oral drugs and four of the eight patients taking insulin were able to discontinue their medication completely.

Diabetics should discontinue the use of baking powder or soda, as these decrease the activity of the pancreatic juices, which are used in the body to digest protein, fats and carbohydrates. The pancreas is one of the most important organs of digestion. Fasting is usually not advisable for diabetics. Avoid all mental nervous stresses and strains. Avoid constipation; the bowels must be kept loose with at least three good eliminations every day. This is imperative to improved health.

Herb Tea - Tea, made from any one of the following herbs is beneficial: raspberry leaves, red root or dandelion root. Mix one tsp. of herb per 8 oz. of distilled water. Let steep for 20 minutes or longer. Drink three cups daily.

Exercise - Exercise will lower the blood sugar and enable the diabetic to require less insulin. Deep breathing and lots of exercise of hard physical labor will help keep the fire of the metabolic processes burning fast, and this will diminish the need for insulin.

Sunlight - The effect of direct sunlight on the body's sugar metabolism parallels that of insulin. Sunlight facilitates the absorption of glucose into the cells of the body and stimulates the body to convert its blood sugar (glucose) into stored sugar (glycogen). This is minimal in a normal individual but dramatic in diabetics. A diabetic must gradually expose his body to the sunlight. Diabetics who choose to sunbathe should always keep in touch with their physician as their insulin dosage will have to be decreased.

In conclusion, diabetes is unknown in countries where people can't afford to overeat. Americans may be the richest people in the world, but they are also one of the sickest. In America, a new diabetic is discovered every 50 seconds. I want to encourage all to eat in moderation, only those things that are wholesome and natural.

Our body runs on electricity. An electrocardiogram will record the electrical activity of the heart. An electroencephalograph records the electrical activity of the brain. Today we know the human body runs on electrical energy. Very few health professionals have any information on the electrical currents in the body and how they can be altered to either produce good or bad results in the human body.

What Is Electricity ?

No one really knows what electricity is. We only partially know how to use it and how it works. This definition of electricity is given in Taber's Cyclopedic Medica Dictionary; "A form of energy that exhibits magnetic, chemical, mechanical and thermal effects. Electricity is formed from the interactions of positive and negative charges." The medical field today uses electricity on the body. 

Three examples of this are found in electro hemostasis, which uses high frequency current to stop bleeding; electroconvulsive therapy, the use of electrical shock to produce convulsions; and electro analygesia, using low intensity electrical currents to bring relief from pain. These forms of electrical treatments may cause harm to the body, as they disturb the natural circulation of electrical currents. Did you know that cancer cells are weaker than normal cells, and that cancer cells have a different electrical frequency than normal cells?

Natural Ways of Keeping The Bodys Electrical Currents In Balance

I'm sure, as research in this area goes on, more natural ways to keep the body's electrical currents in balance will be found. Two natural ways that I'm aware of are breathing fresh outside air, and having the body in contact with the soil.

Breathing Fresh Air

All air contains electricity. Air can be either positively charged or negatively charged. Negatively charged air, which is the kind that is beneficial to us, is found in the open air, especially in the mountains or the country; these are examples of air that has been undisturbed by pollution. The air with the most negative ions in it is ocean air, or the air near a river or waterfall, and the air just after a rainstorm. Positively charged air is not beneficial to us and is the air found inside a closed room. All electrical appliances and heating and air conditioning systems use up good negative ions and give off bad positive ions. This is especially true of TV's, computers, microwaves and fluorescent lights. The air we exhale is also positively charged.

As the number of positive ions increases, with a corresponding decrease in negative ions, one may feel such adverse effects as headaches, nasal obstruction, hoarseness, fatigue, dry throat and dizziness. Negatively charged air, on the other hand, produces a feeling of exhilaration and well-being. Negatively charged air also has been shown to decrease the respiration rate and lower blood pressure, while positively charged air has just the opposite effect. (1)

There are over 3,000 - 4,000 negative ions in one cubic centimeter of mountain air, but only 100 negative ions in one cubic centimeter of air in an office building at the end of an eight hour day. Thus, we can readily see that to keep our body's electrical currents high in negative ions, and thus experience good health, we need a continuous supply of fresh outdoor air. "The stomach, liver, lungs and brain are suffering for the want of deep, full inspirations of air, which would electrify the blood and impart to it a bright, lively color, and which alone can keep it pure, giving tone and vigor to every part of the living machinery".

Body Contact With The Soil

To help keep our body's electrical frequency correct, we should spend some time outside each day working with the soil or standing (or walking) with our bare feet in direct contact with the earth. Our body and the earth are both electrical; and you do not get an electrical exchange with the earth when you are wearing shoes, as the soles insulate you from the ground. Just a short time, (10 minutes min.) each day will greatly benefit a person. This exercise is especially true for those who are nervous or emotionally disturbed.

Conclusion

The more knowledge man acquires the more he realizes how little he actually knows. We still have much to learn about the electrical currents that control the human body. This is an area that has been sadly neglected in the health field and I hope that as time goes on we will understand more fully the good and bad effects of electricity on the body.

SUNBATHING

A sunbath is best taken in the morning when the air is clear, and the heat not too great. In the summer it may be taken as early as eight o'clock. In cool weather, it may be taken later in the forenoon. Care must be taken to prevent overheating or chilling. In order to avoid a sunburn it is necessary to start with a short exposure and to increase the time gradually on following days. 

The ultraviolet light is the light that has proven to be the most health restoring. Unfortunately, it is also one that is most easily eliminated by window glass, sunglasses or clothing. The most important part of our body that the sun's ultraviolet rays need to reach is our eyes. Sunglasses and regular glasses will not let the ultraviolet rays (the healing rays of the sun) reach the eyes. So, when you are sunbathing use no glasses-just close your eyes and look at the sun with your eyes closed so the ultraviolet rays can penetrate the eye lids. It would be good to do this a minimum of 10 minutes each day. 

This is especially good for women with a hormonal imbalance (during their monthly cycle), and anyone with a nervous disorder. During sun bathing the amount of ultraviolet light available depends upon the location of the earth and the season. The more atmosphere the ultraviolet light must pass through the less there will be to reach the earth. In the winter there is less ultraviolet light available as the northern hemisphere is tilted away from the sun; so the best time to sunbathe is between 10 AM and 2 PM. In the summer ultraviolet light is available over a longer period of time, so it is best to sunbathe between 8 AM and 4 PM.

SUNBURN

During the sunbath you should feel good. There should be no feeling of depression or discomfort. If, as a result of exposure to the sun, you feel weak, too warm, or there are signs of headache, stop at once. The degree of injury to the skin depends on the concentration of ultraviolet rays, the duration of the exposure, and the amount of pigment within the skin of the individual. Blondes and redheads are particularly susceptible. On repeated exposure to sunlight, most persons develop an increased amount of pigment in the skin (suntan) and thus become less susceptible to sunburn while the excess pigmentation lasts. 

Drugs, cosmetics and soaps can so sensitize the skin that burning becomes a real problem. One should not be afraid of sweating, as the sweating process cools the body and eliminates toxins. One has to take into consideration, when sunbathing, the time of day, location, season of the year, latitude and elevation. Sun burning can take place faster in mile high Denver, Colorado, than it can at sea level, for the sun's rays have a mile less of atmosphere through which to pass. 

If one is sunbathing at the beach, he will probably burn faster than on the back lawn. The amount of ultraviolet light reflected from the environment can make a big difference. Snow will reflect about 86% of the ultraviolet, dry sand 17% and grass 2.5%. Water is a poor reflector of ultraviolet light.

Reflection of the sun's rays by a clear, blue sky overhead, may double the effect of the ultraviolet rays which come from the sun itself. One other thing to remember is that wet skin will burn more rapidly than dry skin. While sunbathing, use no kind of lotions, creams, sun screening agents, etc. Sunscreens containing a tanning ingredient may promote skin cancer. Lyle Cartwright, M.D. of the University of California Medical Center at San Diego, found tumors and skin changes in laboratory mice that had been covered 34 with the tanning ingredient and exposed to sunlight. 

The researchers reported that 100% of the mice, having sunscreen applications and a dose of sunlight equal to one hour of midday sun in a temperate climate, developed tumors. Mice, not treated with sunscreen, but given large doses of sunshine, did not develop tumors. (American Medical News, June 24,1983, pg.18). Clean skin is the best for sunbathing. Natural sunshine is best for sunbathing. There are no sun lamps made that can match our natural sun. Some are different from the sunlight and may actually be harmful. Light is a nutrient much like food; and, like food, the wrong kind can make us ill, and the right kind can keep us well.

Proper rest is essenttal

Rest is one of the most basic healers known to mankind. When you become sick, what is the first thing you do? You lie down in bed most of every day, as well as all the night, until you recover, because the restorative power of rest is the key to health. Every bodily power requires rest after exertion. Even your heart - the hardest working muscle in your body - rests after each beat. You rest at the end of each breath.

Your muscles require relaxation after every contraction. During the sleeping hours the body is busy repairing itself. Our bodies are a lot like a battery; They run down during the day and need to be recharged at night. The most energetic people I know are quite consistent in getting their rest.

One of the purposes of sleep is to repair losses and damage caused by work. When awake, we eat as well as work: that is, we both consume and replenish our stores of energy. But the food we take in is not available as energy until it has become a part of the living cell. Food in the stomach, in the blood and body fluids does not add to our store of energy until it becomes a part of the body. After it is digested, it must be assimilated; this work is largely done during sleep. This has been observed with the microscope. When the cell is fully rested, it is well filled with minute energy granules. A tired cell shows the granules greatly reduced in number.

Since the inception of television, millions of people do not get enough sleep. They go to bed late, get up early to go to work, and in the middle of the afternoon they have to force themselves to keep going. The importance of sleep cannot be over emphasized for it is during the restful hours of sleep that the body rebuilds its tissue. One reason so many people have nervous breakdowns is that they try to surpass their limitations. They are always on the go without adequate rest, until the body machinery breaks under the load. Take time to refocus your life; take time to rest. Go outside and sit in a chair and do nothing. 

If the very thought of that sounds ominous to you, then you are the very one who needs to change your attitude toward adequate rest. One does not always have to sleep in order to rest. A change of pace, doing something different, will bring rest to your mind and body. If your daily job is to sit behind a desk all day, rest for you might be to go out and work in the garden in the evening. Whereas a farmer who works all day would get his rest by sitting down in the evening chair and reading

a good book.

Rest for tension or fatigue

Tension increases as the day goes on until it is at a high point in the late afternoon. If this point is reached day after day, week after week, the results may become unbearable. But if the person takes a break at noon with a short nap, the tension drops and he awakens for the afternoon's work with much improved nerves. The same rule applies to young mothers attempting to raise children, run a house and maintain an active social life. My advice to these mothers is to take naps with their children, for this will greatly reduce their tension and fatigue.

Rest for the eyes and ears

To protect your eyes, be careful to have the light coming over your shoulder on your reading or your work, and not into your eyes. Be sure you have plenty of light. Don't try to read in dimly lit rooms.

Fluorescent lights ruin the eyes as they blink on and off 60 times a second. Whenever possible use outside light for reading and working. If you have to spend many hours of reading, occasionally give your eyes a rest by looking out the window, closing them, or doing some eye exercises.

Various forms of noise present in our modern age is one of the greatest enemies of rest. Noise acts as a constant irritant to the entire nervous system of the body, whether we are asleep at night, or during the day when we are awake. Eighty decibels represent the level at which continuous or prolonged exposure to noise can result in hearing loss. Noise has been shown to increase the stress level of those continually exposed to it. Those who work 20 years or more around noisy equipment have a life span 5 years shorter than those working in quieter areas of the same firm. Television almost consistently raises the stress hormone level in the blood regardless of the programming. Rock music has also been shown to affect the body's stress level adversely.

Recreation is a from of rest

Recreation is a vitalized form of rest. A change of activity is needed from time to time. We need variety in our lives; that is why it's good to get away from the normal routine occasionally, such as a weekend trip to the mountains, or sea shore camping with the family. Eating good natural food cooked over a campfire, sleeping in the great out of doors, getting plenty of fresh air, being away from all the traffic noises such as sirens, relaxing and enjoying the birds singing, soaking up the sun, or going for a swim in the ocean or lake are various ways to rest and relax.

The great out of doors was created for us to enjoy; the only problem is that we don't take advantage of it often enough. It is sad to say but many people never take time off from their busy schedules to enjoy the finer things in life. Our American society is too materialistic; they want to acquire more and more, and then have to spend most of their time maintaining and taking care of all their belongings which have entrapped them. I now live in Central America and the people have very little in regards to material possessions. 

The average wage of a common worker living in Nicaragua is $2.00 a day. But I have noticed something unusual: most of the Nicaraguan people are happy. I have since come to the conclusion that the more you have, the unhappier you are; and the less you have, the happier you are. Maybe we here in America have our priorities turned around. After all, if many material things don't make you happy, then why have so many?

How much sleep do we need ?

The requirement for sleep varies with age. A baby sleeps most of the time. A young child before the age of 6 needs about 14 hours of sleep per day. A grade school child needs at least twelve hours, and a teenager should have from nine to ten hours of sleep per day. This much sleep is not necessary for older individuals, but it is for young people. The adult needs only to repair the daily waste of tissue, whereas the young requires in addition much energy for growth and development.

Nevertheless, statistics show that good sleepers amongst the aged are those who live longest. Sleep requirements may temporarily change. During illness, pregnancy or stress, a person may need more sleep. When anxieties, cares and business perplexities are carried to bed, sleep during the early hours is not refreshing and the time of sleep is necessarily extended. The occupation during the day likewise regulates the amount of sleep at night. Brain workers, and those undergoing severe nervous strains, require considerable sleep: their fatigue is mental and nervous, and sleep is the only form of rest that is beneficial. People who are doing manual labor, usually fail to sleep readily upon retiring and don't require as many hours of sleep.

Stages of sleep

Sleep is classified into two distinct states, Rapid Eye Movement (R.E.M.) is the first state and Non-Rapid Eye Movement (N.R.E.M.) is the second state which accounts for about 75% of the normal sleep. N.R.E.M. is divided into four states. Stage 1 of N.R.E.M. sleep is a light sleep and a person is easily awakened during this stage. Stage 2 of N.R.E.M. is a deeper sleep with heart and respiratory rates slowing and the temperature dropping. Stage 3 of N.R.E.M. begins 20 to 40 minutes after onset of sleep and the body processes continue to slow down. Stage 4 begins about 10 minutes later; this is the deepest sleep, and anyone awakened during this stage will be temporarily confused. 

Within an hour or so of falling asleep, the sleeper rapidly progresses through three stages until he gets to the deep sleep stage, then they reverse until he gets back to the light stage. This first sleep cycle (stages 1, 2, 3, 4, 3, 2, and REM) are completed 70-80 minutes after falling asleep. This complete cycle is repeated four to five times a night. The second cycle usually lasts about 110 minutes and the third cycle about 120 minutes, but the later cycles are shorter, approximately 90 minutes each.

This is why sometimes in the middle of the night you wake up (you're in the light stage) and it takes you some time to fall back to sleep. If the phone rings and wakes you up during the first stage, the light stage, you are alert, but if the phone rings and wakes you up during stage 4, the deep stage, it takes you a while to get your thoughts together. Some individuals, awakened during the deep stage, answer the phone and the next morning don't even remember they had a phone call during the night.

Natural ways to help one sleep

Only those who use their muscles during the day in physical work can enjoy sweet sleep at night. If you are a sedentary worker, then in the evening spend at least one hour outside, go for a walk, mow the lawn, wash the car, work in the garden, paint the garage, etc;, do some physical work before going to bed. Regularity is important for good sleep patterns. Arising at the same time every morning will assist one in falling asleep at the same time every night. Going to bed at an early hour will greatly benefit one's health. It has been observed that the body's temperature and vitality is at its lowest ebb about 2 A.M. and for this reason every hour of sleep before midnight is worth two hours; and every hour after midnight is worth one. 

Sleeping in on weekends disrupts the clock, causing difficulties in sleeping. Tobacco, caffeine (as found in coffee, tea, colas) chocolate, sugar, fatty foods, chemical preservatives, additives, etc. can stimulate the body causing insomnia. It is true that food puts you to sleep at first, by diverting the blood from the head; but it disturbs sleep later in the night. When you eat a large meal before going to bed, the food has to be digested and the stomach fails to get its proper rest. 

The sleep is disturbed, the brain and nerves are wearied, the appetite for breakfast is impaired and the whole system is unrefreshed and is unready for the day's duties. If you go to bed with an empty stomach, you can often get along well with six or seven hours sleep: but if you go to bed after a big meal, you usually need from eight to ten hours sleep.

Plenty of fresh air in the sleeping room is an important part of the rejuvenating effect of sleep. Your body is working less, and the air you breathe is used to restore and rebuild body tissue. Therefore, be sure there is a current of outdoor air (even in the winter) entering your room while you sleep. If you do not have fresh air at night, you will tend to awake tired and exhausted.

Neutral temperature baths, between 92 - 95 degrees, for 10 minutes or more are excellent for relaxing and calming the mind, and preparing one for sleep. Herb tea made from either hops or catnip will usually help one to sleep. Bring 8 oz. of distilled water to a boil, turn the heat off, add 1-1/2 tsp. of herb and let steep for 20 minutes. Strain and drink it one half hour before bedtime.

The most healthful position for sleeping is upon the right side with the limbs extended as much as possible. This position avoids pressure upon the heart, keeps the heavy liver (which is the largest organ in the body), downward, and affords the stomach the fullest freedom. While lying upon the side, the pillow should be of sufficient size to keep the head in its natural relationship to the shoulders. You should not use more than one pillow. The object is to get in the correct position so that the spine is straight. Contrary to popular belief, the mattress should not be firm, but fairly soft. The best type of mattress is a foam mattress, or one can use a firm mattress with a thin egg crate mattress on top.

Liver Strength is the strongest liver supplement we have tested, coming in at 12,300 for dealing with cancer. It uses patent pending bioactive proteins and fermented bioavailable minerals encased in oil that acts as a liposomal delivery system. Its ingredients strip the liver of unwanted toxins while simultaneously repairing its function.

The bioactive proteins, and plant based electrolytes from fermented greens, that it supplies, are primary components for cellular regeneration. They are used by the liver to first repair itself, then to repair the rest of your body.

The live bioactive proteins are predigested proteins. They are in a form that is absorbable by the liver cells for immediate use. They are fermented, combined with the right minerals, and surrounded by oils so that the protein can be absorbed.

These proteins and minerals have been absorbed by live probiotic spores which carry the nutrients into cells without being broken down. Absorption is further enhanced as the spores are in oil making for a liposomal delivery system. This oil and the minerals in Liver Strength supply and carry the correct electrical charges needed by liver cells and every other cell in your body to function properly.

This delivery system carries beet extract and chlorophyll into liver cells which can then strip the liver of toxins.

In addition, Liver Strength teaches the liver how to process toxins properly. Its actions work to remind the liver how to detoxify, and open up the detox pathways. It is designed to improve the liver’s capacity to clean the blood.

The most important time to take Liver Strength is in the morning as it helps clean up the liver from its overnight detoxification of your body.

Another major function of Liver Strength is to enhance the liver’s ability to properly digest foods. The nutrients and oil it contains will enable the liver to do a better job of digesting food and of supplying the body with nutrients from that food.

In addition, Liver Strength was formulated to improve the liver’s communicate with the brain. Its nutrients help calm down the liver, which will help calm down the brain. Its function of calming your liver patterns would enable repairing of the signaling pathways of the neurons that control mental patterns.  This could help keep your mind clear so that you may function with higher efficiency and less stress.

Using Liver Strength will help create a healthy functioning liver. Your blood and brain will then be able to receive the minerals, electrolytes and nutrients needed to regenerate your health, and this may help your body heal itself of cancer.

Liver Strength ingredients: Fermented Green Extract Calcium Blend (Alfalfa Sprout, Barley Grass, Broccoli Sprout, Bok Choy, Kale, Spinach), Calcium Carbonate, Calcium Citrate, Beet Extract, Liquid Chlorophyll Extract, Phytavail Zinc, Acerola Cherry Extract, Sea Minerals, Magnesium Glycinate, Magnesium Oxide, Borage Oil, Bacillus Spores. Other ingredients: Gelatin, Ethyl Alcohol, Beeswax, Sunflower Lecithin. (The amount of alcohol is very small and increases absorption of the nutrients into cells.)

Use 1 or 2 of this very large 360 soft gel capsule bottle a month, taking 6 capsules two times or four times a day.
