Analysis by Christo Lues

Some time ago a man came for a first time blood analysis complaining about his general health, immune system, stress, depression and tiredness. He seemed healthy on first observations but as the consultation progressed I found that when I wanted to take a finger tip blood sample he could hardly move his left arm.

When I questioned Brian about his shoulder it became apparent that this had been a long standing issue and that it would come and go, with short intervals of the shoulder being better. 

This is so typical to see; people complain about one small issue like tiredness, but in actual fact they have grown accustomed to being vertically ill.

As I looked at his blood under the microscope, I found that his cells were clogged together and that he had an acidic pH. These observations were serious, since in time, it may lead to more than 150 degenerative diseases.

With further investigation I found that he had about 3 glasses of water, one or two beers, three cups of rooibos tea, canned soda, and juice per day. In his mind these were quite a lot of fluid, and hence his disbelief when I told him that he was completely dehydrated.

After all, 3 glasses of water is hardly enough water to hydrate the body.  Tea, cool drinks etc are not the “fluid” you would do your laundry in, is it? Well, its the same for your body, you need pure water to cleanse, not tea, coffee and soft drinks!

I suggested a 5 day detox program and some supplements - the Pack-O-Life to cleanse and alkalinize his body, Mindset for the immense stress he was under as a young business owner, and for the sore shoulder I gave him CMO and Omega SLO to take daily to reduce the inflammation and help heal the shoulder.

Five days later I saw him for a follow up to see how he was doing. He admitted that doing a detox, excluding all his favourites like beer, tea, and soft drinks was hard for him. He experienced headaches and mild nausea during two of the detox days. He persevered and after 5 days he was feeling much better; he had more energy, no longer had a feeling of being down and depressed BUT best of all his shoulder was beginning to heal up - so much so that he was able to do everything he had to as a motor mechanic. He was ecstatic!

Summary:

Brian thought that he was taking in a lot of ‘fluid’ and that it was hydrating him adequately and that it was OK that his shoulder was always sore. He was unaware that he was basically vertically ill. He also never gave it any thought that the way he was feeling had anything to do with what he ate or drank.

The main problem that Brian had was that he was completely dehydrated and very Acidic. This lead to most of the problems he experienced. We should make sure that we are always well hydrated with alkaline water. As a guideline use 70% of your body’s goal weight over 14 days in pure KDF water with Coral Calcium sachets in the water. (Body weight X 0.7 / 14 days = amount of water needed per day)

The fact that he was complaining about a few minor issues shows what can happen when you grow accustomed to more serious and debilitating health issues.

After Brian cleansed, nourished and balanced his body by taking the supplements as we suggested, his blood looked much better and was no longer clotted together. This made it easy for his blood to carry oxygen to the individual cells and bring healing to his entire body.

What does your body look like, are you taking in enough pure, alkaline water? Are your blood cells well separated and nourished so that you have well fed and oxygenated tissue cells?

Need a Detox AFTER the festive season?

By Christo Lues

Most of us don’t like the idea of a detox. For most people this means bland lettuce and tomato, carrot sticks and water. Basically devoid of all ‘good’ stuff. Although there are people out there advocating these kinds of detoxes, personally I have never been keen on the idea.

The dilemma is: if I need to ‘de-tox’ by only eating those bland foods and everything else is bad for me, then logically I will ‘re-tox’ my body by eating normal food again! That just doesn’t make sense.

There are however definite no-no’s one should avoid if you want to be healthy for a long time. These will generally break down your body over time, ending in disease or degeneration of body parts. 

Our philosophy is to Cleanse, Nourish and Balance the body. Once in-balance, it does not take very much to maintain a state of balance in the body. This is where we advise on a maintenance program.

The VERY BEST way to determine what is needed to detox your body, is to have a personal Live Blood Analysis by a Sevenpointfive consultant. This caters for individual needs and as a personal trust relationship develops with the consultant, you may find yourself in less need of chemical medicine and relying more on natural medicine and your body’s own repair systems.

For most of us the following general guidelines may help to keep our bodies afloat, until you can get to a consultant.

Avoid fast foods, sugary drinks and foods like sweets and ice cream, highly processed and refined foods like pastries, cakes, muffins and puddings.

Avoid artificial or Non-Nutritive Sweeteners.

Avoid canned and processed meats like salami, polony, spreads, bacon, pies, vienna’s etc.

Hydrogenated oils or food containing these like margarine, sunflower oil, canola oil, chips, crisps or any deep fried foods.

Food containing MSG or Mono-Sodium-Glutemate like Aromat, soup powders or Barbecue Spice. These days I see more and more products hiding this as ‘yeast extract’

Concentrate on eating fresh (organic where possible) foods, eat whole grain breads, try baking your own, with Spelt or Rye. Use butter for frying eggs. Eat as many eggs as you like (it has NO effect on cholesterol - by the way) Buy free-range eggs, meat and chicken. Steam or oven roast your food. Avoid microwave cooking.

Eat a decent breakfast, this is one place you do not want to skimp. If you eat the right kind of breakfast you will be able to shake some of those extra kilos that became your partners during the holidays.

Drink LOTS of CLEAN water. If you have not done so already, get a decent water filter for the house. If you have to buy bottled water, get Nestle or Valpre still un-flavoured water. Not many other bottled waters are any good - the pH is too low of these waters. 

Test your body’s pH to determine if you are too acidic.

Some supplements to consider for aiding your detox are as follows:

Good Anti-oxidant to get rid of the toxic buildup of accumulated toxins in the cells. 

A digestive enzyme complex to break down the undigested fats and proteins in the blood.

Coral Calcuim for balancing your body’s pH.

You may need to detox your best friend - your liver.

If you need more personal attention, then make an appointment to see myself or a Sevenpointfive consultant in your area.

Is jy te suur?

Soos baie ander dinge in die lewe, word ons gesondheid ook deur ʼn paar grondbeginsels onderhou. Ons Skeppergod, het toe Hy ons liggame gemaak het, bepaal dat ons aan sekere beginsels onderwerp sou wees. Ons moet bv. voedsame kos en water inneem, genoeg oefening en rus kry anders neem die funksies van ons liggame doodgewoon af en sterf ons, dalk voordat ons die taak wat Hy ons opgelê het, kon voltooi.

In opvolgende artikels sal ons in diepte kyk na die kwaliteit en hoeveelheid water wat ons liggame nodig het, ook watter soorte moderne kossoorte probleme in ons liggame mag veroorsaak en hoe ons dit met uitstekende alternatiewe kan vervang. Ek kry gereeld vra oor hoe mens regtig seker kan wees dat jy gesond leef , is daar dan nie ʼn manier wat mens kan gebruik om te bepaal hoe gesond jy regtig is nie, of leef jy maar net voort en hoop vir die beste?

Baie van die moderne mediese wetenskap is egter beperk tot die behandeling van ʼn siektestoestand, nie die voorkoming daarvan nie. Daar is bv. meer as die helfte van mense wat in die hospitaal beland met aangepakte are, wie se cholesterol vlakke normaal is. Dit beteken dood eenvoudig dat die groot geveg teen cholesterol nie so effektief is as wat ons wysgemaak word nie, iets anders is ʼn belangriker faktor in die aanpaksels in ons are – meer hieroor op ʼn volgende keer.

Jou dokter en polisieman is goeie ouens om byderhand te hê wanneer ʼn noodsituasie onstaan. Maar net soos die polisieman maar min kan doen voordat ʼn misdaad gepleeg is, kan jou dokter min doen aan jou gesondheid voordat ʼn simptoom kop uitsteek. In baie gevalle is dit dan reeds te laat. By vyftig persent van vroue, met hart probleme, is die eerste simptoom, wanneer hulle dood neerval – sonder enige vroeëre waarskuwing of simptome!

Die moderne manier van siektes behandel is om te wag tot ʼn simptoom voorkom en om dan daardie simptoom te probeer onderdruk deur behandeling. Neem bv. ʼn hoofpyn wat behandel word deur ʼn hoofpynpil te neem. Die hoofpyn is egter selde ʼn toestand in dit self, dis veel eerder ʼn waarskuwings sein van die liggaam dat iets onderliggend fout is. Maar as ons die hoofpyn behandel het, deur dit te onderdruk, voel ons, ons was suksesvol. Die onderliggende probleem is egter steeds daar en soek slegs na ʼn volgende manier om jou te laat weet dat daar ʼn probleem bestaan.
Sien, ʼn simptoom onstaan in ʼn sekere sisteem (bv. die spysverterings stelsel). Sisteme bestaan uit spesifieke organe (bv. die maag of die kolon. Organe bestaan uit weefsel en die weefsel bestaan weer uit selle.
Wanneer ons dus ʼn simptoom soos ʼn hoofpyn behandel, gee ons bloot die liggaam ʼn chemikalie wat die orgaan binne in ʼn spesifieke sisteem vir ʼn tydjie buite aksie stel en jou op die oppervlak beter laat voel. Die onderliggende weefsel en selle is egter steeds ongesond, en wanneer die orgaan dan weer begin lewe voel, kom die simptoom weer na vore. Dit raak dan ʼn bose kringloop totdat ons genoeg van die orgaan gehad het en dit laat uitsny – wat steeds nie die probleem oplos nie, aangesien God dit daar geplaas het vir ʼn baie spesifieke rede, en dit kan nie nou meer vervul word nie.
Ek sien gereeld mense wat sommer ʼn lys chemiese pille neem. Een vir bloeddruk, een vir cholesterol, een vir diabetes en dan voel hulle so depressief dat ʼn antidepressant en slaappil ook nodig is. Hierdie konkoksie laat die kolon dan gaan stil staan, en daarvoor gebruik hulle dan ʼn gewoontevormende lakseer middel. So dink hulle dan het hulle al die simptome goed behandel...

Wel, daar is maniere om te weet of jy gesond is en hoe gesond jy regtig is.
Die eerste plek om te begin is om te verstaan dat as jou liggaam uit gesonde selle bestaan, sal hulle gesonde weefsel bou. Gesonde weefsel sal dan gesonde organe vorm. Gesonde organe vorm dan gesonde sisteme, en wanneer sisteme gesond en optimaal funksioneer, kom simptome nie voor nie.
Die vraag is dan, hoe weet jy dat jou selle gesond of ongesond is?
Gesonde selle word gevoed deur mikro nutriënte, waarvan ons daagliks sommer ʼn hele klomp benodig waaronder; 72 spoor minerale, 26 Vitamiene, 21 Aminosure, 2 Essensiële vetsure, 8 suikers, antioksidante en nog meer. Omdat ons moderne kos ons nie meer van baie van hierdie voedingstowwe kan voorsien nie moet ons dit gewoonlik in een of ander soort aanvulling inneem. Hieroor sal ons op ʼn volgende keer gesels.
Wat egter baie meer fundamenteel is, is dat ons hierdie mikro voedingstowwe moet kan absorbeer, tot in die selle, wat dit nodig het om korrek te funksioneer, en dan begin om gesonde weefsel te bou, wat op hul beurt weer gesonde organe bou en so voorts totdat ons werklik gesond is.

Die sentrale faktor in jou liggaam wat bepaal of voedingstowwe opgeneem word of nie, is iets wat ons jou pH noem. Dit is doodgewoon ʼn aanduiding van hoe suur of alkalies jou liggaam is. Ek moet dadelik noem dat baie mense dit verkeerdelik met maagsuur en sooibrand verbind, nee die suur of alkali waarvan ek hier praat is die soort ding wat kan veroorsaak dat jy seer spiere of seer gewrigte of talle ander siektes ontwikkel.

Vergelyk dit met jou swembad. As die pH balans van jou swembad te suur is, gewoonlik onder 7 dan begin dinge skeef loop. Alge en ander goggas begin groei, die water raak troebel en kan later begin sleg ruik. Wanneer die pH egter bo 7 is, gewoonlik 7.2, is dit alkalies en kan hierdie soort goggas nie groei nie en geniet almal die plesier van skoon helder blou water.

Dit werk baie dieselfde in jou liggaam. Wanneer die pH te suur is kan goggas soos bakterie en ander begin groei en siektestoestande begin ontwikkel. Hierdie suur pH in ons liggame is dan ook die mees belangrike faktor wat bepaal of ons voedingstowwe die selle bereik, al dan nie. Ons kan die pH meet deur ʼn eenvoudige speeksel toets te doen met ʼn stukkie litmus papier. Wanneer die litmus papier met die speeksel in aanraking kom verander dit van kleur na gelang van ons pH. Gewoonlik word die papiertjie meer geel of groen as ons suur is of blou as ons pH alkalies is. Die pH van ons speeksel verteenwoordig die pH van ʼn belangrike oordrag vloeistof tussen ons bloedvaatjies en ons selle, en die pH hiervan behoort ʼn ideaal van 7.5 te handhaaf. Indien die pH onder 7 is kan oordrag van ons mikro voedingstowwe nie effektief plaasvind nie en word ons weefsel selle siek as gevolg van te min kos, en dan begin die proses van ongesonde organe ens. weer van voor af.

In die allerdaagse lewe is daar sommer baie dinge wat kan maak dat ons te suur is. Die grootste hiervan is dit wat ons verkeerd eet en drink. Hierdie is die verfynde of geprosesseerde kosse of kosse of koeldrank wat belaai is met suiker of ander suur vormende bestanddele en wat gewoonlik gestroop is van goeie voedingstowwe.
Soos wat ek in ʼn ander artikel verduidelik het is dit van kardinale belang dat ons water moet inneem wat genoeg minerale bevat en waarvan die pH meer alkalies van aard is. Hierdie is een van die beste maniere om te verseker dat ons pH aan die alkaliese kant van sake bly.

Om die kolon nie skoon en gereeld te ledig nie, is seker een van die grootste faktore wat meeste mense wat ek sien kortwiek. Wanneer ons die kolon nie ten minste twee maal per dag ledig nie, kan van die voedselreste wat te lank in die kolon bly begin afbreek in giftige produkte. Hierdie produkte word dan opgeneem in die stelsel en veroorsaak dat die stelsel se pH meer en meer suur word.
Een van die beste maniere om die kolon aan die gang te kry is om daagliks 2 eetlepels lyn saad in ʼn groot glas water te neem. Dit gee die baie nodige vesel aan die kolon om sy ontgiftings en uitskeidings taak effektief te verrig. Dit spreek van self dat ʼn dieet wat genoeg, gesonde vesel bevat sake net kan verbeter. Soos ek in ʼn ander artikel genoem het is genoeg goeie kwaliteit water van uiterse belang wanneer vesel ingeneem word anders kan die hoë vesel teen produktief wees as dit in die kolon vassteek omdat daar te min vloeistof is om gladde beweging te verseker.

Spreuke 14:30 “’n Rustige hart is die lewe vir die vlees, maar hartstog ’n verrotting vir die gebeente.”
Wanneer ʼn mens te veel stres of spanning beleef, of wanneer ʼn mens in onvergewende bitterheid leef , word jy suur. As jy suur word en nie die nodige alkaliese water en voedsel inneem nie, neem jou liggaam kalsium uit jou bene om te keer dat jy dadelik sterf. As die situasie dan lank voortduur, word massas minerale uit jou bene onttrek, en ontstaan osteoporose of een of meer van ʼn reeks degeneratiewe soort siektes.

Om gesond te wees is en te bly, is dit dus baie belangrik dat jy sorg dat jy gesonde selle het. Gesonde selle het mikro voedingstowwe nodig en kan dit slegs opneem as jou pH alkalies is en die ideaal is om jou speeksel se pH by 7.5 te hou.

My gebed is dat hierdie jou sal help om ’n rustige hart te hê en dat dit lewe vir jou vlees sal wees, sodat jy jou Godgegewe roeping op aarde tot eer van ons Vader kan uitleef.
