Can I Do It?

HIGHLY EFFECTIVE disease prevention and health enhancement skills,
abilities and therapies --- are presented here.
There is no simple just-do-this guidelines.
Life is not simple and unrewarding.
Environmental illness is highly individualized.
It is based on one's heritage (other people's experiences) and one's personal experiences. These "experiences" form patterns which are unique to every individual.

PATTERNS ARE UNIQUE.
The components of those patterns can often be defined from a known set of variables. Further, the means are now available for the individualized assessment of what will most effectively assist you in the form of therapies, supplements, self-development and lifestyle changes --- in order to release negative influences and replace them with positive balanced trends.

PROVEN FACTORS and variations are described and presented here.
This does not mean that similar or different variables cannot be or should not be considered. No one is saying you have to do any or all of what is outlined. We all have a choice to accept what we have, to improve upon what we have, or, to acknowledge what we have and improve on it.

ALL OR NOTHING, NO!
There is no suggestion given in these pages that you must integrate all of the factors mentioned in order to attain optimum health. First, know your choices. Secondly, understand the choices. Thirdly, begin with a choice or choices. No matter how great or terrible you find your life now, it can be improved. Proceed at the risk of receiving excellent health and experiencing a level of success you cannot presently imagine.
You can do it!

Why so much information? Isn't there a simple answer?
I don't have time to read all this!

IF YOU WANT TO UNDERSTAND, AVOID, OR RECOVER from a chronic illness, YOU are going to have to spend a little time now to become informed, empowered, and active in your own defence. A few hours now could save you decades of agony later. It's your life. And it will be your joy, or pain.

NORTH AMERICAN MEDICINE has developed from treating acute (simple, direct, singular, urgent, static, immediate, short-term) illness with acute (direct, mechanical, prescriptive, automatic, immediate, single application) solutions. Beginning in the pioneer days of settlement --- cuts, broken bones, sprains, headaches, toothaches, wounds, dislocations, and epidemic viral and bacterial illnesses were, and largely continue to be treated with relatively unchanging and narrow methods of treatment. It is largely a what-you-see is what-you-get process. You are treated according to what the doctor assumes your symptoms mean with either denial (wait-and-see), surgery (cut), pharmaceuticals (medicate), and/or chemicals (burn or kill).

PROFESSIONALISM has largely become technical proficiency since about 1940. As fields of endeavor, including medicine, have become more institutionalized, new recruits have been awarded more for mirroring the words and attitudes of their educators than for questioning, listening, innovating, and empathizing. Each field has expanded its technical awareness --- numbers of devices, drugs, descriptions, designations, and definitions to overwhelming data segregation.

INFORMATION AND AWARENESS specialization has enabled persons to absorb large quantities of authoritarian instruction through memorization and assume new orders of secular priesthood. Each specialty excludes and is excluded from the interests of related disciplines to result in highly effective treatment of local specific problems while missing, ignoring, or mistreating whole body global symptoms of dis-ease. If you need a Band-Aid, splint, surgery, dentistry, chiropractic adjustment (early form), prescription, x-ray, or physiotherapy (early form) --- there is the place to go.

NORTH AMERICAN HERITAGE is one of immigration.
The ancestors of most current day North Americans arrived from a foreign land with few possessions, largely inappropriate experiences, and little if any formal education. In desperation, early "pioneers" relied purely on Ego to survive. American economic and social history seldom has demonstrated empathy, awareness, or tolerance for other humans or other lifeforms --- until after critical damage has been done.

INDUSTRIALIZATION was transplanted to North America.
In Europe, industrialization developed as an economic antidote for expanding rural poverty and overcompetitive guildworkers' markets. The ability to separate complex skills (arts & crafts) into highly defined and regulated sets of simpler operations enabled low skilled workers to replace highly skilled artisans to produce higher quantities of uniform products that could be sold for lower prices and higher profits. Increasingly removed from an awareness and an appreciation for the total creation of works, the new market simply sold "things." As the workers were stripped of, and gave up their enterprising spirit --- so also the articles they fashioned and the processes of manufacture they used became devoid of association with contributing inner value to the life of the creator and the purchaser.

MECHANIZATION distanced the worker even further from interaction with the design of substances used to create reams of uniform products. Products and services which proved successful in the market quickly generated competitors. While increasing competition threatened market share and profitability it encouraged and rewarded companies which could reduce worker involvement and cost in production through the constant development of and dependency on more complex machines. Machines require vast quantities of energy to run them, huge amounts of metals to build them, and great amounts of raw materials to feed them. Supplying these needs at minimal cost could not have been possible if the worker-taxpayer-voter had not already been marginalized to the production capacity of an economic slave and dissociated from the larger environment which is the ultimate foundation of our quality-of-life.

HISTORICAL FACT affirms that at least 90% of the early Canadian and American settlers arriving from Europe were persons who either fled from or were rejected by the status quo. Religious intolerance, political persecution, urban overcrowding, homelessness, abandoned street children, prostitutes, bartered enemies, famine impoverished, and despairing and depressed workers --- provided a foundation for a society either focused on aggressive individualism or passive orderliness. Arriving from an industrialized world into an ecological paradise, survival was hard for economically dependent workers devoid of most life skills.

SURVIVAL WITH MINIMAL COMMUNITY SUPPORT turned what was an ecological wonderland for the earlier inhabitants into a dark and hostile wilderness for the new arrivals. Trying to re-fashion forests and plains overnight into the farmlands and cities from which they came, survival typically provided a choice of subsistence poverty or decades-long durations of long workdays devoted to taming, uh, destroying the wilderness. The goal of North American cultures has always been economic rebellion.

REBELLION is a term that describes efforts by a group excluded from privilege to gain equality of privilege. Even more dramatic in the example of North American mass media since 1950, most North American's cherish a personal economic goal of having a material excess of lifestyle lived by only 5% of the population. It is the image of this lifestyle that buys the Egotistical devotion to economic servitude such that most North Americans of 1999 now owe more than their earnings can service. Impoverished pioneers have dreamed that they could each live like the nobility of their ancestral Europe.

ECOLOGICAL DUPLICATION has been overshadowed by economic expansionism. The level of ecological devastation that took European societies 400 years to reach has taken North Americans only 150 years. Economic colonization replaced political colonialization. Excessive material lifestyle enhancement has unbalanced ecological health. And as ecological health has declined, human chronic illness presence has exploded --- with a one to two generation lag. In 1950, chronic illnesses were largely associated with the elderly and a very small minority of "unfortunates." In 1999, children are born with environmental hypersensitivities and more than 90% of North Americans have at least one form of environmental illness.

REACTIONARY MOVEMENTS occur when the values of a status quo majority are opposed, avoided, or lack the support of a growing minority. Economic domination and motivation of the masses has depended upon their deception, manipulation, indoctrination, and, distraction by economically privileged minorities. Government bureaucracies, military-industrial corporations, central banks, and multinationals have excluded themselves, or been excluded from, economic rules and expectations applied to smaller businesses and workers --- for most of the 1900s. Gradually, forced by their own exclusion from the benefits of the economic system, more and more North Americans are rejecting the promises of non-performing community leaders. In the area of health, that includes conventional medical practitioners, protected and financed by political privilege and educational persuasion.

ANARCHY IS DEVELOPING in the marketplace, healthcare, law, civil rights. Spiritual perspectives are opposing materialistic ones on a global scale. If individuals refuse to be deceptive, manipulative, intolerant, and abusive in their personal and business relationships --- the so-termed capitalist power structure will disintegrate. Prosumers are replacing consumers with a mandate for personalized, quality, effective service and products available either for minimal cost or by barter. Sanctioned services, like conventional healthcare, are being shunned --- or excessively used because of their demonstrated inefficiencies and ineffectiveness in illness prevention and elimination of chronic illness. Alternative services are being used with a minimum of guidance and understanding --- resulting in haphazard results.

HEALTH IS MAINTAINED BY SELF-AWARENESS and SELF-DISCIPLINE together with relevant information. If I had been given the benefit of the health experience I have gained from winning over a multitude of health challenges in the past 15 years when I was much younger, I could have avoided those challenges. Winning the battle is not as good as not being forced into the battle. It is an unfortunate human reality that once you have a chronic illness, the more sick you are, the smaller you human support network is likely to become.

FEW PEOPLE WANT TO BECOME SICK so that they can lose their job, their profession, their savings, their friends, their spouse, their freedom. Yet, more and more persons are reaping that legacy. The information above gives you a context for how you got this far. It also notes that a few people are going to be bold and take control of their life and their future. The information on the rest of this site can assist you in doing that by giving you some starting points and better awareness of your options.

AWARENESS TO KNOW WHAT and WHEN.
Self-discipline is needed to ensure that one receives adequate rest, even-tempered exercise, nutritious and appropriate foods, playful interaction with others. Those must be balanced with some form of work. All of this balancing and appreciation of priorities takes TIME. From birth, we are rewarded and shown by our parents, relatives, friends, heroes, and peers how to structure our lives. If no one ever conveys an appreciation for or an ability to lead a life of balance --- how are we to develop such a balance? What North Americans have consistently been shown by those around them and by the mass media for the past 100 years is --- work now, live later, OR, play now, live later.

HOW MUCH OF THE SHOW HAVE YOU BOUGHT ?
Hypersensitive persons have usually bought the whole show.
They are diligent, long-suffering, committed workers --- until their health forces the threat of a loss of living on them. Without an awareness of the information presented on these pages, many will have reached the end of a dead-end tunnel with no return route. There is a way out. There is a way not to get into the tunnel in the first place.

PERSONS WHO ARE GOING TO BECOME HYPERSENSITIVE usually are in total self-denial about their own health. They are often too busy being concerned about the health and safety of others to see the flaw within themselves. Many will not admit that they have any health problems until their health problems humble them into submission. They bought the promise that if they just worked hard enough, long enough, committed enough --- they would be rewarded. Depending upon which Energy Blocks they have will depend upon which combination of need for acceptance, power, sacrifice, security, ... is compelling them to buy this promise.

TIME CAN BE A FORCE (fantasy), OR A REALITY.
Do you just have time for survival ?
Do you only have time for denial --- play? What if you are wrong?
If you end up with bad health, that does not mean that time stands still or ends. Look around you. Find someone with bad health. Notice how they are living. If you do not take responsibility for your health now, you may have to live a life which is more challenging than theirs ... and longer.

YOU HAVE LITTLE WORTH TO OTHERS IF YOU HAVE NO WORTH TO YOURSELF.
Maybe you can make TIME to prepare for the rest of your life.
No matter what else may happen --- jobs, income, relationships, achievements ... your state of health will impact the results. Whether the impact is positive or negative will depend on Your choices. Relevant information can provide awareness. Awareness provides choices. Choices can result in success.

Epidemics NOW!

CHRONIC ILLNESS FREQUENCY has been growing for the past 50 years in North America and the industrial world in general. Their more intense partner, hypersensitivities, has had a mirror existence. Hypersensitivities are complex, confusing, multiple symptom, personalized, gradually developing, annoying, ever-changing, come-and-almost go, long-term (often termed "permanent") states of dis-ease. Much as conventional medicine tries to define, understand, and treat this epidemic with its acute methodologies --- it continually fails ... and often does not even try.

TAXPAYERS and CITIZENS have willingly and meekly surrendered their self-responsibility to conventional doctors or medical specialists much as a worker must frequently surrender his or her decision-making authority to a manager. Personal health has long been assumed to have little more importance than taking a car into a service station for a tune-up. Once given such power, authority and reverence, is it any wonder that conventional doctors jealously guard their government sanctioned privileges --- which guarantee them a very good income. There is just one problem with this co-dependency. The human life system is much more personalized and complex than doctors readily admit and less mechanistic than public education systems preach.

HUMAN GODS or modern witch-doctors ?
Having surrendered most of our self-responsibility for our own health and a great amount of our tax dollars for "free" clinics and healthcare, and research --- what have we got? If you have an illness which is not understood ... then you are told that you are not sick! Or, it's all in your head. Or, just give it time and it will go away. You can't have such an illness because articles aren't in prestigious journals about it. And articles are not accepted into those journals unless they support the conventional mechanistic theory of human health. Actually having to listen to the patient and work with the patient to resolve the patient's health satisfactorily is --- beyond consideration, for most doctors.

SUCCESS, or DECEPTION ?
As mentioned above, conventional medicine does well in providing remedies for acute care illnesses and health problems. Its failure with chronic care has resulted in a geometric expansion of chronic illness cases for over a decade. When particular therapists and founders of alternative healing approaches are found to be "too successful", adherent associations of the conventional medical religion seek to weed out such heretics and burn their reputations and personal lives in the public media and the courts through slander and misinformation. Fact is often replaced with wishful theory bordering on superstition.

ALTERNATIVE HEALTH APPROACHES may find success in actually diminishing the symptoms of a chronic illness ... maybe even to the healing of it. This is unacceptable to most of the power- and prestige proud medical establishment. So it mounts costly professional and media campaigns to discredit alternative medicine practitioners. With severely flawed research, institutionally financed researchers prove such remedies to be unsubstantiated, placebo, chance, requiring more research, dangerous, incidental, and especially, unprofitable. Such "favorable" results guarantee a long career in biomedical research.

THE RESULT IS CLEAR.
Chronic illness patients account for up to 80% of visits to conventional practicing doctor's offices --- mainly because each patient may return 20 to 30 times per year. If you get better, where does their business, big income, prestige, power, and authority go? Of course, if you give up in despair and do not go back to a particular doctor --- he counts you as cured! Now he, or she, is even more confident that the useless advice they have given you, or, their suspicions about your hypochondria --- have been valuable and are factual and true.

IF YOU WANT TO UNDERSTAND, AVOID, OR RECOVER from a chronic illness, YOU are going to have to spend a little time now to become informed, empowered, and active in your own defence. A few hours now could save you decades of agony later. It's your life. And it will be your joy, or pain.
