My $45,000 personal gut-problem.

Who was it that once said, “If you can’t find something, look right under your nose"? Well folks, I think I’ve managed to exemplify this statement in its entirety. Moreover, the answer to the above question lay not under my nose BUT , more accurately, under my clothing which lay on my midriff. -Yes, my Gut. You see I used to weigh around 142 Kg(302lb)(mind you I’m well over 6 foot tall) & now I’m 113 Kg. I still have around 10 Kg to go BUT I’ve done it WITHOUT exercise and without guilt. In fact it’s very largely been stress free. (Yes Nutrition, diet, immunity & obesity for many ARE related.)

How did I do it?

By using a synthesis of cutting-edge Computerized Regulation Thermography(CRT), Naturopathic Kinesiology and drawing upon the ancient 5000 year old knowledge from the Indian Ayurvedic traditions. But please let me enlarge...

Since 1999 Pranicpulseoflife.com has spent over $45,000 to try & objectify our Natural therapy work. You see Doctors see Natural Therapy as akin to Shamanism..."cos ‘Natural therapists just can’t objectify what they do". They see our work as skill-based & NOT as objective...Mind you, I’d rather see a skillful Doctor than a non-skillful one.

Never-the-less, the Doctors do have a point. They’ll cite their medical sciences & blood tests, etc as being objective. Hence my effort & expense as noted above.

We employed the services/technologies from two areas in our Natural therapy practice from a recognized branch of Orthodox medicine used by over 1500 German Doctors (MD’s) called Thermographs...Or more accurately Computerized Regulation Thermography (CRT). This extremely sensitive (Can predict illness up to 5 yrs in advance of symptoms) CRT method (www.thermography.net) has helped objectify just how common it is to have damaged (degenerative- or more correctly- Denatured) small intestine cells. CRT calls these cells ‘Cold cells’ & our commonly used Natural therapy modality of Kinesiology has helped us ‘flesh-out’ the causes for these damaged cells.

More recently the CRT understanding (above) was elucidated further from the use of the QXCI (www.qxciscio.com ) technology which helped flesh-out-these-gut-issues further to the point where the probable common ‘bug’ involved which causes this ‘damage’ to these cells is the Mycoplasma bacteria species.

However as interesting as all this may be to some, we must remember, it is a great Naturopathic tenet which reminds us that, ‘Bugs aren’t the causes of dis-ease, they are the result of dis-ease’. Therefore trying to kill off bugs, in the long term is futile...whereas trying to Work out WHY the immune system is allowing the bug to be there is the real issue afoot. [You will note from my first 'ezine-articles' article, we list 8 areas where the immune system comes under attack.] Ayurveda describes Ojas as being that finest substance from your food which feeds the life-force was almost all about restoring the life-force of the gut? [Again Diet, Drugs & medication have taken our gut life-force away from us.]

So you see, the immune system(which kills off bugs & sorts-out stubborn weight issues for many) is governed by your Vitality, which in turn is governed by your life-force. We have further discovered that a High Life force = High Vitality = High immune system = Balanced Weight = Better memory whereas, Low Life force = Low Vitality = Low immune system = Unbalanced weight = Poor memory = Senility.

[NOTE: Some recent science has shown that there are almost as many neurotransmitters in the GUT as there are present in the Brain. Amazing?...Probably not, when you consider what the ancient Ayurvedic writings show us above.]

An added hidden benefit which then stems from this Life Force understanding lies in the critical appreciation of just how your body sees food. THE HUMAN BODY DOES NOT, REPEAT, DOES NOT SEE FOODS AS PROTEIN / CARBOHYDRATE & FATS (FOR THIS IS AN ARTIFICIALLY MAN-MADE CHEMICAL CLASSIFICATION)-&-HEREIN LIES ALMOST ALL THE DIETARY CONFUSION OUT THERE AMONGST THE ‘GAZILLION’ OF DIETARY AUTHORS, TEXTS, PAPER-BACKS & THEORIES which abound.

PUT SIMPLY, YOUR BODY SEES WHETHER THE FOOD YOU ARE EATING BUILDS THE LIFE FORCE, DEPLETES THE LIFE FORCE or IS LIFE FORCE NEUTRAL. WHY?.. BECAUSE FOODS WHICH ARE LIFE FORCE POSITIVE AUTOMATICALLY BUILD THE VITALITY WHICH BUILDS THE IMMUNITY WHICH HELPS PROPAGATE THE SPECIES. WHEREAS FOODS WHICH WEAKEN THE LIFE FORCE, WEAKEN THE IMMUNITY WHICH CAN ULTIMATELY THREATEN THE SPECIES...SIMPLE! For you see, without a species, what good is fat/protein and carbohydrate ANYWAY?

So, WHAT IS THE LIFE FORCE?

Some people call life-force; Vitality, Well-being, being-in-the-pink or feeling Vital. The Chinese call it Chi, in India it is called Prana, etc. I suggest most of us in the West would relate to it as Vitality, Energy or indeed the lack of it which seems to be the norm for most in their 30's & above. As difficult as it is to grasp this life-force-thing, we certainly know the lack of it when we are ill.

Those of you who argue there is NO-SUCH-THING as life-force might want to ponder just where their ‘energy’ goes when they become ill? Well, the energy is down because their immune system is down. What sustains both these? Life-force, Prana or chi. And Ayurveda suggests some foods are Rajasic(Ojas rich) which build the life force hence your energy hence your immunity.
