What our health depends on – genes or a lifestyle ?

The newest technology let us look closer at nature and be amazed with the wonders it created. While wandering around the world, watching films and reading we can admire the ways the plant and animal species adjust to their habitats, working on the adaptive abilities that will let them survive.

In the 20^th century we were convinced that genes control our lives, health and destiny. The school taught us about the process of inheritance and transferring the genetic features as well as health problems over generations.

We talk more and more about the risk of heart attacks, high cholesterol level, high pressure, obesity, diabetes, osteoporosis, cancers, etc. – we tried to justify it blaming our genes for the health state or we lived in terror of expecting a disease that our grandmother, mother or other relatives suffered from.

It is worth knowing that the civilization illnesses appeared in masses after the Second World War, however the epidemic of diabetes and obesity is present only for 25-30 years. The idea that genes control our biology was only a hypothesis which was negated already in the 90s of the 20^th century. Nevertheless, the “genetic control” became such a strong metaphor that we still believe it today despite the fact that the disturbances (mutations) of one gene concern only 2% of the population.

At the same time the some people are born with genes that give them a chance for health and happy life. Usually the diseases that we suffer from appear as a result of the metabolic disorders connected to the relation between genes and environmental factors.

Thanks to the crucial publications on genetics and cytology of dr. Bruce Lipton, a professor in Wisconsin (USA), in the last decade there was a turning point in the field of the cellular biology and the scientists began to speak courageously about the fact that particular genes are correlated with features and behavior of the organism, however they are not active. It turned out that genes are shaped and controlled by signals coming directly from the environment and our thoughts, emotions and beliefs.

In this way the scientific revelations of recent years has begun to confirm the religious truths and the oldest knowledge concerning the human life on earth as well as the researches provided by the quantum physics. This knowledge confirms that the main factors deciding about our health in 65-75% are unchangeably – way of thinking, ability to relieve stress, lifestyle and way of nutrition.

Filled with goods of civilization we often don’t remember that we are inseparable and integral part of the natural environment and in order to survive we should live according to the truths known for billions of years. The science and technology accelerated the development of civilization, but they were unable to adjust the adoptive abilities of our organisms. According to the rule of homeostasis, if we want a living organism to function properly, its internal balance must be kept no matter the changes in the external environment. When the pollution excesses the adaptive abilities of our body, the disorders in the external environment appear and they lead to the decrease of energy and a general weakness. The decrease of energy causes the disorders of absorbing the nutrients, inhibits the metabolic processes and makes it harder to remove toxins. The gradual disorder of the functioning lead to many civilization diseases. The environmental changes and lifestyle do not include the genetically coded and evolutionally developed necessary needs enabling a proper functioning of our body.

Already in the 60s professor Julian Aleksandrowicz stated that “the genetic information in the DNA code is the same as thousands of years ago, however the material received from food does not fit the coded parameters. So the human body is built and rebuilt out of the much worse material than before. It is like we would build a palace designed by a famous architect, but instead of granite we would use a sandstone or clay. From the outside it would be similar, however inside it would decay faster.”

In the 20^th century we entered the age of the industrial food production with a body structure of our ancestors. Over 100 years the number of food products grew from 500 to 50000. The consumption of fat was doubled and additionally we received the new processed, refined plant oils. Earlier, the correct relation of omega6 acids to omega3 was 3:1, today it is 16:1. Before the seeds, the high-value groats, vegetables, wild fruit constituted 60% of the diet – today they are only 20%. It is worth knowing that the consumption of the purified carbohydrates and sugar was increased by over 250% and the energy was decreased by 75%. When it comes to food processing we reach the level of absurdity and currently we cannot even comprehend it. In the last 20 years the amount of chemical substances that was supposed to “enrich” food increased three times. Yearly with food we eat about 7-9kg of artificial chemical compounds, raising agents, fillers, artificial colorants, flavorings, aroma compounds, preservatives, sweeteners, aromas, etc. Only in the EU about 170 000 tons of aroma is added to food each year!

Well, obesity and civilization diseases are hidden on shelves. Influenced by pushy commercials we are lost in the rules of healthy living.

In keeping the natural body weight we are disrupted by: excessively processed food with big amounts of purified carbohydrates – white bread, purified rice, overcooked pasta, white rolls, chips, snacks, sweets, industrial ice-cream, sugar, sweetened fizzy drinks, beer, coke, industrial fruit juices.

Big amounts of the delicatessen products filled with fat, soya and gluten are foreign to our body. Harmful for us are also the processed plant oils, trans fatty acids, industrial mayonnaise, butter-like products and dairy filled with powdered milk and chemical substances. The body diseases are also aggravated by ready meals, canned food and meals prepared and heated in the microwave oven.

Unfortunately, no organism is able to adjust to this kind of nutrition and as a result many harmful changes and activation of genes responsible for many diseases may appear.

Based on years of research, in the 90s professor Ulrich Warnke warned that we enter the age of high technology with a structure of a primeval man. The new lifestyle: rush, stress, polluted dead water, artificial materials, concrete deserts, air conditioning, shortage of sunrays, electromagnetic smog began to accompany us every day and the distance from nature grew. Unfortunately the studies show that those factors can cause the disorders of the metabolism and enzymatic changes in the organism, which cause a whole variety of metabolic disorders.

The natural magnetic fields have been always controlling the biochemical and physiological processes in our bodies maintaining proper energy in the cells. All the cells in our body “talk to each other” using many biochemical reactions and very gentle electromagnetic signals with low frequency. Health and wellbeing are kept by the continuous process of renewal inside the body.

Everything that disturbs this process leads to the systematic destruction of cells, so the premature aging and creation of diseases. The newest researches show that our physical and mental state depends on the efficiency of all the metabolic reactions. Those changes in the organism are so fast that during one year we can change over 90% of the whole matter. Each minute we lose over 2 000000 of old cells, so about 2,5 billion cells a day disappear in our body and the new ones are created. The fast pace of renewal ensures us that every organism can be regenerated.

Unfortunately health, wellbeing and condition are nothing we can buy. We can however work on this and support others in order to help them. The complex program of regeneration, cleaning the body, proper diet, filling in shortages, eliminating environmental threats, contact with nature, positive thinking bring shocking results, no matter the disease we suffer from. Only in few weeks of following a properly adjusted regeneration program we can feel much better eliminating gradually the causes of our diseases. After some time we may function completely differently. That is why more and more people accept and promote healthy lifestyle. If we follow it, we may experience positive changes that are possible to achieve by everyone.

According to the observations of the researchers, the most creative and healthy electromagnetic field is sent by our thoughts connected to love, care and sensitivity. That, what we are convinced of is reflected in our reality.

Dr. Bruce Lipton after 15 years of research stated “I realized that we are not the victims of our genes, but the masters of our fate able to create life full of health, happiness and love”.

In the spring we are revived like the nature. That is why it is a perfect time for a cleansing therapy. We will feel as good as new.

Even the smallest bite influences the general state of organism. According to the toxicological researches, we eat from four to eight kilograms of different chemical compounds in food additives yearly. Such quantity of chemical substances cannot be neutral to the organism. In time we begin to feel the effects of such diet. An effect of chemical burden are often the allergies, rash, asthma attacks, stomach inflammations, malfunctioning of intestines, hyperactivity, insomnia, tension disorders, etc. Those compounds impede digestion, absorption of vitamins, macro and microelements and the undigested food becomes another toxin that goes into the blood and irritates the immune system. Then we should, for our own good, change the diet and eat natural food, free from any chemical additives. It is worth to conduct systematical cleansing treatments.

Refreshing fast

Health and well being can the result of a continuous process of body regeneration. Spring is the best period for natural regeneration. For centuries all the religions of the world recommended their believers shorter or longer periods of changing the diet. Already before the war in Poland the religion imposed 196 days of fast, including 57 days of extreme fasting. It was associated with atonement and sacrifice, however in reality the fast was the oldest and the most natural way of treatment, a way to strengthen and rebuild the vital energy. The long-term starvation diets must be conducted under the specialist’s control. However the regular short-term starvation diets are completely safe and can be used no matter the age or lifestyle.

Once a day

The most natural and adequate is fasting once a day. It means restraining from eating for at least 10 hours a day. Then the organism has the possibility to remove the unnecessary products of metabolic processes and time to revive the immune system. Having breaks between the meals, as a way of nutrition, gives us time and chance to regenerate independently.

Once a week

The regular one-day fasts can be used at small deposits, a feeling of full stomach, constipations. They are an aware alleviation of digestive system without starvation and resigning completely from eating. 24-hour fast is based on liquids – “grandma’s broths”, brew from vegetables and herbal teas. In summer it is based on natural fruit and vegetable juices as well as on water, preferably the vitalized one whose structure was regained thanks to the use of the ultrasound, infrared or magnetic fields. Juices that are squeezed before drinking should be always diluted in water. During that day people with sensitive stomach can use the flaxseed gruel, millet, rice or oatmeal. In summer the one-day diet can be also based on the seasonal fruit – having a fast using watermelons, strawberries or cherries. Additionally we can drink natural, clean, warm, still water that works as a solvent that rinses the toxins out of the body. During the starvation diet it is better to drink too much than not enough.

How to use the starvation diet ?

No matter if it lasts ten hours, one day or three days, we stick to the same rules.
Keep warmth. During the starvation diet it is easier to overcool the body, that is why we can’t drink only the cold drinks, even in summer.
Raw in summer, cooked in winter. When it is warm, we can follow the juice, fruit diet or the sets of raw vegetables. In the cool period: in autumn, winter and early spring we should use the lean broths made of ecological meat – cooked 4 hours along with vegetables, ginger, garlic and herbs – as a “grandma’s broths”, the steamed vegetables, grains or groats with herbs, especially ginger, caraway, thyme or cloves.
Choose the organic products. All the products that you use during the fast must be fresh, ecologically clean, unmodified genetically and of the best sort.
Only from a fire or oven. The meals – in all the therapies, as in everyday life – should not be prepared in the microwave oven.
Save yourself. During a fast we should not do intensive physical work, exercise too much or take part in demanding marches and climbing, because we can easily lead our bodies to the hypoglycemia (the decrease of sugar level in blood).
A shower few times a day. During fasting we should wash ourselves several times a day, however we shouldn’t take hot baths!
Warm clothes. Fasting can cools us down so let’s remember about the warmer clothes and socks.

Once a month

Monodiet – is a treatment conducted in three subsequent days. Its type is chosen depending on our preferences and well being. The citrus diet – we use it especially in case of a raised level of uric acid. We buy fresh, ripe fruit of the best quality. Every day we prepare 900 g of grapefruit and orange juice, 200 g of lemon juice and 2 liters of water. Every day we drink four liters of juice and warm water mixtures drinking it in small portions. In case of hunger we chew singular parts of fruit with warm herbal tea. This treatment efficiently detoxifies the body, dissolves the deposits of mucus and supplies us with a lot of antioxidants. It is perfect in summer, in winter it may cool us down. That is why when we are cold, we should drink a cherry fruit compote with ginger and cinnamon. Eaten cooked cherry and a warm fruit compote will soon make you feel better. In the middle of the season we can use also strawberries and sweet cherries. The vegetable diet – is efficient all year round. During a day we drink 2 liters of fresh carrot or a carrot and celery juice (1:1), combined with water. Additionally 3 times a day a St John’s wort tea (except for people with “0” blood type), nettle or a brew made of wild rose. The rest of liquids should be water or herbal tea. Additionally two times a day we eat a set of steamed vegetables with a bit of clarified butter or flaxseed oil (parsley, leek, celery, carrot, broccoli, marrow, beetroot, etc.).

In 65-75% our health depends on: the way of thinking, ability to reduce stress, life style and the way of nutrition.

Let’s fast reasonably

Usually the first two fasts are not pleasant. Sometimes, in connection to the release of toxins, we may feel: nausea, dizziness and headaches, general weakening. Those phenomena are temporary and are gone after a walk, massage or a warm shower. The return to our usual diet must be gradual and should last as much as the starvation diet itself. After finishing fasting we cannot immediately eat meat, milk, eggs, cheese, fish, nuts, dry sunflower seeds or pumpkin. The first meals should be always salads or stewed vegetables. A properly conducted starvation diet in the form of intervals between the everyday meals, a one-day fast once a week or a few-days therapy once a month or a quarter is one of the most efficient ways of regaining and maintaining health. The longer cleansing treatments should be adjusted individually depending on the state of health and age. So they should be under the doctor’s or a dietician’s control.
