Is Inflammation making you miserable?

Most of us are under impression that inflammation means swelling that is visible. That couldn't be further from the truth. I have discovered that it is a bigger problem than we have previously thought. Many times we are under the impression that taking pain medicine is helping with our problem when it only gives a false sense of wellness and masks symptoms.

I have discovered also that fruit juice not only has super anti-oxidant properties,a cleansing effect, but is also anti-inflammatory. I tried different combination's of store bought juices but the sugars and sweeteners additives seemed to negate the benefits and I received very little result.

A friend told me about Mandura health juice and I tried it. The benefits were noticeable immediately. I first discovered I was sleeping soundly through the night. My digestion was improved but the best benefit was that my left knee that I hurt in an accident became more flexible and the pain went away.

I then recommended to a friend that suffers from sleep apnea. He ordered a couple bottles and began taking one ounce in the morning and one in the evening. After about a week he called and said he had slept through the night for the first time in five years. I personally believe that his problem was and is due to inflammation in his respiratory system and the juice reduced that and allowed freer flow of air. Also when you rest while sleeping that in its self has healing qualities and will result in more Energy.

Sodium Benzoate, plastic and cancer? What is in your drink?

Evidence of chemical contamination is increasingly linked to health issues. I have suspected that chemicals are the culprit in many illnesses and even cancer. Attached are some interesting links. Also visit our archives and read about the many preventative measures you can take. Mandura juice contains super anti-oxidants that can remove free radical contamination.

Getting healthy is work but doesn't have to be hard.

Change is never easy. As I said you must decide you want and need to change the way you do things. Getting healthy and staying that way should not be hard. I personally have gotten in the habit of making good choices. In the morning I do a hunger check. If I am not hungry then I do NOT eat. I let my body dictate when to eat not the clock. Who decided we need three squares a day anyway? Probably the guys that sell you all the junk food. Anyway if I am hungry when I get up I eat a fresh fruit breakfast usually. Fresh fruits are your cleansers and will help you feel your best. If I want something more substantial then I prepare a zucchini, mushroom, and egg omelet and that will carry me through to supper. Remember water is essential and lots of it. If you are hydrated it makes things more simple. Supplements. I know if I miss my vitamins and mineral supplements. The food we have to eat is nutrient deficient and supplements are a good way to cover the shortage. Remember store brand supplements have about a 12% absorption and 88% goes down the drain. Invest in a good quality supplement. I have made available the SuperTrio on www.CDStroud.Com through Nature's Sunshine. It will give you the vitamins Omega3's and antioxidants to keep you body functioning. Remember you are fearfully and wonderfully made and given the opportunity your body will heal itself. Change is good if it moves you toward true health. Get started. There are many articles on CDStroud.Com to help.Anything you do will be better than nothing.
Good health!

Until you decide.

One thing I have discovered is that folks will talk and talk about wanting to cure their health problems and get healthy. It is only talk until they come to the point of decision. Until you decide that you are willing to make some lifestyle changes and will redirect the funds necessary to make it happen you will never be able to be healthy. We can talk about going on vacation but until we actually put the money on making it happen and get in the car and on the road it will always be just talk.
Getting healthy is about commitment and decision. It is really not difficult and once the decision is made and changes are made it actually becomes easy.
I discovered that once I decided that I was tired of being sick and started to move in the direction of a healthy lifestyle it became easier as I went along. I quit craving the bad things and I actually have cravings for salads and fresh fruits and distilled water. The cravings for sodas and sugar and fast food went away fairly quickly. Feeling good became normal and when I start to feel bad I listen to my body and give it what it wants. Losing weight became the normal I really didn't think about or concentrate on it. It just came. 30 pounds so far and I am allowing my body to dictate the loss not my desire. The difference is that it will be permanent and healthy. I eat when I am hungry and not when it is time. I eat things that are good for me and not the things the food industry want me to eat. The cost of food has actually gone down. Supplementing is the quickest way to give your body a chance to heal and they don't have to be taken the rest of your life. I started with enzymes and probiotics for digestion and am eating the right foods. I only need to boost occasionally to keep everything in check. So the excuses are just that excuses. Decide and live.

Sweat is necessary.

Over the years since the advent of air conditioning we as a people have forgotten how to sweat. We live in air conditioned houses,air conditioned work places,air conditioned cars and even the home project store is air conditioned. Folks do not realize that the skin is the largest organ of the body and when sweat is produced it acts as a cooling process and it also performs a detox. Have you ever noticed how bad people smell? Wheewww or PU. One of the side effects or cleansing I have discovered is that deodorant has become unnecessary. It is not natural to stop sweating. I am definitely against antiperspirant for a couple reasons. One it stop you from sweating and the second is most contain aluminum. I personally believe that aluminum use is linked to Alzheimer's disease. If you are curious about my thoughts on this subject email me. It is not natural to need deodorant either. We have been sold that it is something we must do. Remember years ago folks took baths once a week? Do you think everyone just smelled the same and nobody noticed? I think that folks were clean internally and would sweat a lot and therefore were for the most part odor neutral. I can't ever remember my grandpaw stinking even though I worked along side of him in the fields and he would sweat a lot. He wore long sleeved shirts overalls and a hat all the time. He said if it will keep the heat in it will keep it out and that the sun was poison if you got too much. Pretty smart I would say for an "uneducated" man.
Now back to me. Once I cleansed internally and decided to start drinking a lot of distilled water, eating the right foods and to sweat more I noticed that my sweat became smell neutral. Only when I have to eat chemical laden food and when I eat meat that is when I start to stink again. So I have made a conscious decision to sweat every chance I get. I am even thinking of setting up a sauna so I can sweat in the winter too.
Where did saunas come from anyway? Well I understand that the swedes came up with them because they do not have much hot weather and therefore do not have the opportunity to sweat. So they invented a way to sweat artificially or more correct to sweat normally by using heat generated by fire and steam. This cleans the pores and eliminates chemicals and filth.
So here we are in the United States and most of us have the great opportunity to sweat for free and what do we do? We pay for air conditioning! If you live in the south as I do you can sweat til your hearts content. One other thing I have learned if you drink enough water sweating is not all that uncomfortable and if you have the right attitude you do not even notice. So come on and sweat with me a live. Back when folks ate the right food and drank good water and would sweat a lot cancer was almost unheard of and being sick was an event not a normal everyday part of life. Start with Cleanstart from the website and start getting detoxed. I have also lost a lot of weight as a bonus! Email me david@CDStroud.Com and I can give you some tips to get you on the road to health.

HEADACHES GONE

Hello everyone;
When I decided to change and take charge of my health I did not know how much my life would be revolutionized. One of the greatest things I have discovered is NO MIGRAINES. I did not realize it until one day about three month into cleansing and watching what I eat(my chemical intake) I realized that I hadn't had a headache of any type!
A little history. I had gotten to a point I was taking Ibuprofen™ everyday and sometimes two or three times. I knew this was not good. (By the way I took that because it is not supposed to stay in your body like acetaminophen.) I began a cleansing regimen, Colon,liver,intestine,blood, and all cell. The headaches would hit me and especially when I encountered someone that took a bath in cologne or perfume. It would trigger a migraine and if I didn't go lie down I would have it for two or three days. Sometimes to the point of going blind. Headaches were a regular part of my day. After I started cleansing and drinking distilled water and watching my chemical intake I had phenomenal results. It is going into four months and I haven't had a headache of any type. Also my heartburn is gone and so is the prilosec™ and I have lost a lot of weight naturally. I can even see my abs coming out. I feel great. When I work a long hard day my recovery time is just a few hours sleep and I am ready to go again. We were created by God to have the ability to heal. What a blessing!
Everyone is different but I believe that help is here. www.CDStroud.Com

Pain and Headaches are the "Check Engine Light" of the Body.

When the body has pain it is telling you that something is wrong. This may seem simplistic but it is true. When you have a headache your body's check engine light is on. Most people and most doctors treat the symptom and do not try to understand what the problem really is. For example if the check engine light comes on on your car it would be like taking a piece of black tape and taping over the light so you will not have to look at it. If the oil light is on and you tape over it the symptom is out of site but you can be assured that the problem has not gone away and will eventually become something you cannot fix. Taking headache medicine does NOT fix the problem but only masks it until Boooom!! and your engine is blown and nothing to be done. It is NOT natural to have headaches nor is it natural to take pills everyday. Pills are Chemicals and I believe that chemicals are what are killing us. Is there a place for medicine. Of course short term use may be necessary. Am I saying we should stop taking what the doctor prescribed. I am not taking that responsibility for anyone but me. I decided I was tired of being sick and tired and began to do something about it.
What to do. I believe that a complete cleanse is in order. I have been cleansing for a while (about three months) believing that I must get the toxins out to begin healing. I went to the doctor for heartburn and he gave me a pill. Diabetes showed up and he gave me a pill. My blood pressure started elevating and he started talking about a pill. Why is it that they never talk of cure? Because there is no money in cure. Who makes the cash they all do and we are the poorer for it not to mention the misery.
So what is happening. Well since I have started drinking distilled water almost exclusively eating better foods and supplementing along with the cleanse this is what is going on.
My heartburn has GONE! My Headaches have GONE! I am losing weight naturally, I feel Great! and My blood sugar is regulating itself back to normal range without pills! Too soon to say no more diabetes but I believe I am headed there. God created your body to heal itself given clean water, good air, good food, and enough vitamins and minerals with antioxidants to operate properly. Take charge of your own health and live. I am!!

Liver Cleanse for Life

I have spoken before and have articles posted on CDStroud.Com relating to cleansing. However I believe that having a clean system is extremely important. The liver is one of the most improtant cleansers we have. It has numerous functions but one of the most improtant is the cleaning of the blood. I have read that we have about five quarts of blood in our system and that two of those quarts pass through the liver every minute. That means that if your liver is sick and unable to function then you can't help but be sick. We need to be kind to our livers. So what can we do?
Making sure we are eating good organic foods will help a lot.
Supplementing with the SuperTrio from Nature's Sunshine will cover any missing supplements plus give the Omega3 Fatty acids and Antioxidants.
Liver Cleanse is something we need to do and All Cell Detox will support and cleanse the liver. I do a liver cleanse regularly to keep things moving along. I can tell that my system is improving and with the addition of good CLEAN water you can make sure that the liver if doing the best it can. These systems work in concert to make for a healthy and energetic life. Feel good but also be healthy. We should do all we can to make sure that we live with optimal health and give our bodies what it needs to stay healthy. Do not accept that sickness is just the way it has to be. Health is an investment. Invest and Live!

Why Feel Bad When You Can Feel Good,Look Good, and Be Healthy?

One thing I have noticed about people that there are groups or categories. There are the folks that are going to do "what I want to do no matter the price". I fall there sometimes. Then there are the folks that want to change and do better but never seem to make the decision. One group says that they want to have good health and feel better but it is expensive. They have insurance and because insurance will pay for the medicine of symptomatic treatment they go that route and end up miserable. Then there is the group that says I am going to educate myself change my habits and get healthy by taking charge of my own health. I finally got in that group.
Let me address these groups. The first group can't be helped. Until they decide that the price is too high for bad health and dying miserable and early they can't be helped and will end up life terrible.
The second usually just need a little help to get going. Once they are on the road and see the benefits they get going and never look back. I would like to help those folks. Sometimes you have to start by faith but in a short amount of time you can see the benefit. Myself, I started seeing benefit within a few weeks. My heartburn went away and I immediately began to lose weight. If you are in this category feel free to email me and talk. Use this blog. Whatever it takes to get going. What would you be willing to invest for ten or fifteen more years of life. What would you invest to live a full energetic life? I fully expect to do both. I have also found that it really is less expensive to supplement. I crave less food so I eat less. I quit fast food so that money goes into the things I need. I may place an article on CDStroud about the monetary benefits of changing to the good life.
Finally I entered into the last group. I began to educate myself and spent a lot of time and money getting to a point that was making a difference. It is all about deciding. I looked and tried products and could not find things that had a reasonable cost and worked. Until now. Nature's Sunshine products have the quality at a good value. I have place products on my website that do the job. The articles are to help you get healthy. Go with me. Together we can do the things we need to do to be healthy and live happy. Will there be ups and downs? Of course. We are human. Do we have to quit everything. NO! My clarion call is moderation. You are fearfully and wonderfully made. Decide and live.
Again it is NOT natural to leave this life sick and miserable in a rest home or hospital. God intended us to have a full happy life. He left the decisions up to us. We must decide to be tired of being sick and tired and LIVE!
COME GO WITH ME!

Cleansing: The Good Start.

I have come to the conclusion that getting internally clean is the first step to allowing your body to heal. There are three critical areas that I personally started with. The first was a good colon cleanse. The first time was unusual by the fact that there was a lot of corruption built up and I could tell when it was released. After that cleansing the colon was a routine event. The second step was to cleanse my liver. Your liver is a very important organ in keeping healthy. It cleanses the blood and does many other functions as well. See the article on detoxification at www.CDStroud.Com. I also did a heavy metal detox. I welded for many years not realizing that I was inhaling metal fumes and other activities were allowing heavy metal buildup. I personally used a detox foot patch I have linked it on CDStroud.Com. In a few weeks the patch was white in the morning which indicated the cleanse was complete. After doing these cleanses I could not believe how good I felt internally and the energy I now have. I can tell my body is healing itself just as God created it to do given the proper support. I have changed habits and my diet. I quit sodas altogether and replaced that with distilled water and lots of it. My body is hydrated and also has water for the elimination of toxins. I have begun to be more toxin conscious and eliminate them where I can. If you do not intake them you do not have to cleanse them. I eliminated almost all fast food and have reduced processed foods drastically. I began supplementing to make sure my body gets what it needs. There have been numerous results. One being weight loss. My body fat is being reduced. Sugar cravings have disappeared and I am eating less because I am satisfied.
Stay tuned for more good news and come and go with me to optimal health. Visit www.CDStroud.Com for articles and product recommendations to support your new energetic life. I feel GOOD!!

Are you Tired of Being Sick and Tired?

Good evening everyone. Health is on the mind of most people. In America over 60% of people are overweight and more have health issues. Good health I discovered does not have to be a mystery. By following some simple rules we can become and stay healthy. Blogging is new to me. I had never considered posting a blog. I am passionate about helping people and since I am on the road to optimum health I want to teach everyone how to do it. It doesn't matter how far you have slipped you can be better than you are now. It is not as difficult as you might think. It does take decision and some dedication. It does not have to be a terrible chore nor cause more stress on your system. I have discovered many thing in my own life. I am guy arriving at the fifty year mark. I was taking heartburn meds everyday. I was having other health issues as well. I was getting more overweight and had less energy. The doctor was not helping me because of the attitude of symptomatic treatment of ailments and never telling me how to change and heal. I can tell you I am now well on my way to optimal health and I feel great! My heartburn is gone and other issues as well. I am a diabetic. My sugar levels are getting under control and I fully expect to be off medication soon. I have lost weight and will arrive at my optimal weight soon as well. Blog with me and I am sure we can improve together. I have created a couple of websites that will assist us. The first is www.CDStroud.Com. with lots of information relating to health and also www.GrowNaturalFood.Com that can help you improve your food. I am looking forward to talking with you.
