The Gastrointestinal Health Solution:
Natural Hygiene Education

The gastrointestinal health of people in modern societies worldwide is staggeringly poor, due mainly to haphazard eating routines including overindulgence in fatty and starchy comfort foods, processed, low-nutrient junk snacks, stimulant drinks and out-of-control high-stress lifestyles.

It’s incredibly sad that people routinely poison themselves many times each day with every meal and snack. Well over 50% of our population suffer with digestive maladies and accept them as normal. People routinely pop antacid pills, take prescription and nonprescription “stomach medicines,” laxatives and a plethora of other remedies, washing them down with toxic food fare and believing there is nothing they can or should do to change their eating habits.

Meanwhile, the prevailing dietary messages coming from today’s medical doctors, dietitians, nutritionists, nurses and even most health gurus is conflicting, confusing, often destructive and downright ignorant of our true digestive health needs as dictated by the sciences of biology and physiology.

Dr. Andrew Weil recently wrote: “Unfortunately, too many Americans are taking a dubious shortcut to digestive health: GI medication use has jumped dramatically in recent years. One in ten Americans was prescribed at least one GI medication on an outpatient basis in 2007 (the most recent year for which figures are available) compared to 1 in 15 in 1997. Such medications often do more harm than good—masking imbalances that can lead to more serious conditions, and causing numerous side effects, including lower B12 levels, increased risk of fractures and even increased risk of infections.”

Then what is the answer? Health education based in Hygienic science. i.e., Natural Hygiene—the science and fine art of of living healthfully in accord with the Laws of Nature.

Over the past two centuries, Natural Hygiene educators and doctors have been teaching biologically correct dietary practices based on an accurate understanding of our biological constitution and physiological needs and limitations. It is a proven, yet not commonly accepted fact, that we are constitutionally frugivores. I.e., we are designed to thrive on a simple, whole food, vegan diet of mostly fruit. We can eat omnivorously, but that invariably leads to disease and suffering.

Despite prevailing anti-fruit sentiment and the limited experiences of those who shun fruits because of their brief, unfavorable experiences eating them as part of their haphazard unnatural diets, fruit has proven to be the most nutritious and health-promoting food when appropriate fruits are eaten in a proper manner as part of a wholistic health program. How we eat is as important as what we eat, even when it comes to “health foods.” This is indeed controversial—but we can all prove these assertions for ourselves and enjoy the liberating results.

Healthful eating guidelines for promoting perfect digestion and gastrointestinal health have been established long ago. Special care protocol for the reversal of common g.i. maladies, including the diseases considered “incurable” by modern medicine, have been taught by a small enlightened body of Hygienic practitioners (including myself), and we have helped a few million overcome every sort of g.i. disease condition. The healthful eating and natural healing guidelines I speak of are actually very simple, and after a brief study soon resonate as common sense; they are contained in many books on the subject of Natural Hygiene and are actually derived from physiology books, the empirical experiences of Natural Hygiene practitioners, and those who have healed g.i. diseases and resurrected their health (as I did).

In short, the basics of healthful eating for perfect digestion entail: appropriate natural vegan food selection, simple food preparation, proper food combining, thorough chewing, eating only up to (and not beyond) the point of satiation, and proper food sequencing. The protocol for healing digestive diseases varies and needs to be carefully evaluated and implemented based upon the individual’s health history, condition and needs. In general, the healing approaches may include water fasting, juice dieting, carefully selected, simple, digestible meals of mostly or all raw foods, steamed plant foods, and abundant rest.

The guidelines and general healing protocol I speak of are taught in my two books: Self Healing Colitis & Crohn’s and Digestion Perfection. For less than the cost of a week’s worth of medicines, people can invest in those health education tools and, in most cases, learn how to quickly set themselves free of the tyranny of medications, doctor visits, soaring health insurance bills and chronic g.i. miseries. The time-honored teachings of Natural Hygiene and my 26 years of experience in the field of g.i. health, including my work wherein I have helped over 2,000 clients efficiently heal a wide variety of g.i. and related health afflictions, are contained in my two books. For those who need guidance with their healing process, I am available to provide counseling by phone, Skype, e-mail and in person. No one need suffer with any g.i. ailment, for the solutions are known and readily available to all!

Now more than ever, these words of wisdom ring true:

“The best part of every man’s education is that which he gives to himself.” -Sir Walter Scott

“Education is the instruction of the intellect in the laws of nature.” -Thomas Henry Huxley

It is true: it all starts with health education, i.e., true, natural, accurate health education, as taught in Natural Hygiene. I can guarantee you will discover that the absolute best health assurance and insurance is an accurate education in physiology, natural nutrition, health and self-healing.

Here’s to your perfect g.i. health and happiness!
