Fit for Life - a New Beginning

Of course, the book I pulled off my bookshelf before I left home was Harvey Diamond FIT FOR LIFE A NEW BEGINNING - funny how when I trust myself I have everything I need to guide my next best step. . . This book has been profoundly informational on so many levels: 

Here are some of my favorite frames - words that left me thinking or triggered or both:

.Body is essentially machine that requires fuel, turns fuel into energy in order to carry out its many functions and generates waste in the process (just like a car); from internal and external sources. Internal waste - consequences of cell regeneration (old cells replace with new cells) 

Problems arise when the buildup of toxins exceeds what body can eliminate. If on daily basis, more toxins produced than are removed, excess remains in body, where problems develop because of it. Distended abdomens is buildup of waste that has not been eliminated. Skin problems, high blood pressure, sinus/respiratory problems all conditions of dirty bodies.
.
When you pull plug of tub and leave water running, the tub will overflow. In body when this happens with toxins, it spells pain and disease. In house where floors are not cleaned, garbage not emptied, bedding not washed - this is kind of neglect happening inside bodies 

To understand Health we must Understand Cancer . - Cancer is not problem, it is end result of problem - Cancer is easiest malady of human body to prevent 

Instead of studying cancer (effect)we need to study the factors that bring on cancer (cause) - things happen for definite reason; things we do jeopardize our health - when we focus on cause we have prevention; when we focus on effect we have after the fact treatment . 

What is a cancer cell? . Cancer cell is a normal cell so deranged by toxic substances that it loses contact with and is no longer controlled by brain - literally been driven crazy by poisoning, In cancer, unrestrained cell growth leads to buildup of tumors which consumes and destroys normal cells. . Cancer does not attack, it evolves . 

WHERE it happens isn’t most important - why it happens is the issue - Smoking - single most toxic offense against health in existence Cancer will never just happen - result of causes that were not removed over a long period of time. Cancer is classic lifestyle disease (takes 1 year for single cancer cell to become 12; 6 years for cancer to be size of pencil point and 10 years for it to be detectable) Surgery, radiation and chemo attack problem at end stages of growth, after the fact; it is attacking the effect while ignoring the cause. Removing prostate gland or cutting off breast without removing cause of cancer and thinking cancer won’t return is like picking all apple off a tree and thinking no more apples will grow 

 When toxic conditions that resulted in abnormal cell growth are removed, then health begins to be restored (HOXSEY) HEALTH IS NORMAL NATURAL STATE OF BODY When healthy, body automatically directs efforts to maintaining that state. Body strives for optimum health under any and all circumstances in quickest and most efficient way (HOXSEY detox and plant medicine). 

 Body has built in mechanism that warns us when health is in jeopardy. Sometimes, her warnings are not recognized or ignored or masked with drugs Disease never just happens; it takes a long time and a great deal of neglect and abuse of body for disease to finally occur 

 And then he lists 7 sevem stages before we call it the big "C". 

 1st stage - ENERVATION - body not generating sufficient energy for tasks it must perform or tasks body must perform are greater than normal energy supply can cope with 

 2nd Stage - TOXEMIA - uneliminated material saturates blood, lymph nodes and tissues of body. Warning sign: FEVER - body in mode trying to cleanse itself of toxin 

 3rd Stage - IRRITATION -common warning of irritation due to toxemia is itchiness - Skin is body’s largest rogan AND organ of elimination. When skin becomes itchy, classic sign that toxins are being removed - when they reach surface of the skin that area becomes irritated 

 4th Stage - INFLAMMATION - Body’s most intense effort to cleanse and restore itself - Inflammation causes PAIN - pain's purpose is body’s most effective warning signal - specifically designed to alert us to fact that without corrective measures you are endangering yourself Stage 4 is pivotal juncture in that actions taken at this point determine whether or not you are going to recover your health and return to a state of vibrancy or fall deeper into diseased state 

 5th Stage - ULCERATION - Body has been under assault for such a long time that massive amounts of cells and tissue are being destroyed 

 6th Stage - INDURATION - body’s way of quarantining the toxic material, holding it in one place so it will not spread freely throughout the body. 

 7th Stage - CANCER - cells are no longer under control of brain and are multiplying wildly in unorganized manner - in best of circumstances, with healthy regimen, cancer can be arrested and revered - it takes diligent concentrated effort - every part of body is as sacred and important and cherished and protected as any other ; just like when the sun shines, it shines on everything equally - no favorites 

DRUGS are worst possible enemy - old way of thinking - we are conditioned to respond to pain with drugs - drugs dont heal anything - drugs mask symptoms - drugs prevent you from doing the right thing for yourself by giving you a false sense of security Everybody who allows lymph systems to become overburdened with toxins will get warning from their body in the guise of pain or ill health - where in body depends on individual’s weakest link 

 Cancer is cancer no matter where it shows up 

 Disease ill health pain are all points at which uneliminated toxins finally overwhelm body’s ability to contain them - to prevent them or reverse them, toxins must be removed from lymph systems Cleaning lymph system ends pain and ill health With accumulation of toxic elements in lymph nodes system the flow of lymph can become sluggish - fluid becomes thick and T-cells and macrophages of immune system become bogged down and dont move around as well - with regimen that cleanses lymph system of toxins, peeps recover - opening up lymph system and restoring immune system to proper functioning  

DIGESTIVE SYSTEM - Digestive tract is 30 feet long starting at your mouth and ending at your ass where waste finds it way to outside world Along the way twists and turns wrinkles and folds cracks crevices nooks and crannies corners and pockets Small intestine is 22 feet long - small describing its circumference not its length Empties into large intestine, which is 5 feet long but wider in circumference Large intestines referred to as colon Lots of places where uneliminated waste accumulates stagnates and becomes inflamed if not removed After all processes of metabolism have been performed and everything body needs from food has been extracted, waste is held in colon before elimination Most disease has single cause and single remedy Ingredients in fruits vegetables and other plant-based foods retard bodily breakdown Cells protect themselves with compounds called antioxidants - fruits and veggies are packed with them Flavonoids found in all citrus fruit 

 SO MUCH INFORMATION to learn and absorb and embody and feel where it rings true for me and we. 

 Thank you Harvey Diamond for sharing and caring
