From the desk of Richard
Penfounde, your Naturally Healthy Lifestyle specialist. THE older we get. the more toxic accumulations exist and persist
in our body. This accumulative process causes the body's healing
response to become less and less effective. 
Toxic accumulations are caused by an ever-increasing host of
previously unknown chemicals in our medicinal drugs, food, water and
air intakes. Most of these chemicals are currently authorised by
governments that we vote into power in our democratic societies and
are freely available.
The accumulation process is something not many take into
consideration as they age, possibly because they feel the
debilitating effects only slowly and write them off to "my age".
However, these debilitating effects are capturing younger and ever
younger age groups. Take a simple case; a smoker who starts puffing
at age 16, no problems. At 35 check for chronic lung problems. Go
back to 16 and the body's immune system was in better working order.
At 35 it is likely to be able to do even less.
Our body's healing mechanisms are actually "always" trying to help
us. They'll do their best, but they'll only be as good as the
quality of their nutritional status.
I've outlined vitamin and mineral robbers in a previous article, but
to repeat some: smoking is a star robber, so is alcohol, some
medical drugs and, the leader of the pack, street drugs.
Then there are chemicals that enter our bodies via food, water and
air and create chemical reactions within us, making a whole host of
"nasties".
When the body can't identify and cope with a new, unknown chemical
it shoves it in the tissues, and goes on doing so until we ache and
ache. Then we take a symptomatic chemical to mask the ache, adding
to the chemicals in the tissues. Talk about a Catch 22 situation.
More bad news; if your elimination system is blocked add 50 percent
or more trouble to all that's been said so far.
What can we do:
- Become aware of realistic ways of increasing total nutritional
status.
- Unblock the mind and the colon.
- Get in touch with a daily free-radical / anti-oxidant formula to
at least delay the shock and at best to start cleaning up the past
accumulations to allow yourself to start living more actively and
pain free.
- Have assessments done of possible allergies. These often occur and
go undetected when our bodies accumulate toxic poisons - at any age
between one and 90.
As we enter the 21st century-let us be more aware that disease, the
biological ageing process and the debilitating burdens they impose
are all too often self-inflicted.
