If You Don't Want To Be Ill...


Emotions and feelings that are hidden, repressed, end in illnesses as: gastritis, ulcer, lumbar pains, spinal. With time, the repression of the feelings degenerates to the cancer. Then, we go to a confidante, to share our intimacy, our “secret”, our errors! The dialogue, the speech, the word, is a powerful remedy and an excellent therapy!

The undecided person remains in doubt, in anxiety, in anguish. Indecision accumulates problems, worries and aggressions. Human history is made of decisions. To decide is precisely to know to renounce, to know to lose advantages and value with others. The undecided people are victims of gastric ailments, nervous pains and problems of the skin.

 Negative people don’t find solutions and they enlarge problems. They prefer lamentation, gossip, pessimism. It is better to light a match that to regret the darkness. A be is small, but produces one of the sweetest thing that exist. We are what we think. The negative thought generates negative energy that transformed into illness.

  Who hides reality, pretends, poses and always wants to give the impression of being well. He want to be seen as perfect, easy going, etc. but is accumulating tons of weight. A bronze statue with feet of clay. There is nothing worse for the health than to live on appearances and facades. These are people with a lot of varnish and little root. Their destiny is the pharmacy, hospital and pain.

The refusal of acceptance and the absence of self-esteem, makes us alienated ourselves. Being at one with ourselves is the core of a healthy life. They who do not accept this, become envious, jealous, imitators, ultra- competitive, destructive. Be accepted, accept that you are accepted, accept the criticisms. It is wisdom, good sense and therapy.

Who does not trust, does not communicate, is not opened, is not related, does not create deep and stable relations, does not know to do true friendships. Without confidence, there is not relationship. Distrust is a lack of faith in you and in faith itself.

Good humor. Laughter. Rest. Happiness. These replenish health and bring long life. The happy person has the gift to improve the environment wherever they live. “Good humor saves us from the hands of the doctor”. Happiness is health and therapy.

THE MIRACLE STAIRCASE THAT OUTSHINES MODERN ENGINEERING


THE MIRACLE STAIRCASE THAT OUTSHINES MODERN ENGINEERING
No One Knows who the Carpenter was!
It is called "the miracle staircase!" It stands, although no one knows how, in Santa Fe, New Mexico, in a little Catholic chapel. Some technical engineers, not knowing what to think of the impossible construction, even call it "advanced engineering", as the staircase design defies all construction rules, and even gravity? One architect said: "It seems to defy the rules of carpentry,"

In 1872, the Catholic bishop of Santa fei ordered the buliding of a small chapel. After quite a while the construction almost being finished, the architect died. Then it was gradually discovered that there had been a mistake in the original design; There was no staircase to the choir loft, except a simple ladder, and there was not enough room to built one, without severely disfiguring the looks of the chapel. 

Thus the nuns, set out to sincerely pray for a solution, and even called on the patron saint of carpenters, St. Joseph, the adopted father of Jesus of Nazareth, as he was a carpenter by profession! After their nine days of desperate prayer had ended, a shabbily dressed man with a donkey and just a toolbox, appeared at the door, looking for work. When he was taken to see the loft, he offered that he knew how to built a stairway, on the condition that they would let him have total privacy. 

He locked himself in and for three months working non stop. When he opened the doors and let the Mother Superior see the result, she almost fainted at the beautiful sight. 

There, incredibly, in the corner stood a wonderful freestanding wooden spiral staircase built without screws, glue or nails, without attachments to the wall, and without a center pole to support it, going around 360 degrees twice! The carpenter had only used a few pegs to hold the thing together. He came without wood, and no one knows where he got it, as no one saw him get any and the wood he used was unknown to the region.

And what happened to the carpenter? According to the nuns, when they wanted to pay him, he had disappeared without a trace!
 
Incredibly, the sisters discovered the wood had not been purchased locally. They offered a reward for locating the carpenter, even putting out an add in the local newspaper. No one ever came forward to claim it.

Architects from all over the country still come to inspect this unique and marvelous piece of craftsmanship.
They are puzzled also by how it has withstood more than a hundred years of use, every section just perfectly fitted together in their own groove. Another interesting fact is that the staircase has 33 steps or risers -- the same number as Christ's age when He died. 

It is thought that the unknown carpenter was none other than St. Joseph, in whose honor the Sisters had received Communion every Wednesday that he might assist them in building a staircase. There is no doubt that the prayers of those nuns were answered in a most remarkable way.

Free Good OL’ Advice


Helpful Advice You Can Use  and Saves A Lot of Money: 

Cold Virus - Don't forget to apply some hand sanitizer to your vehicle keys and the dashboard knobs and steering wheel and shifter knob.  Many people disinfect their homes and forget these vital places.  Imagine how filthy your keys are reeking with viruses and bacteria and you bring them into your home.   This advice will cut way back on the transmission of cold and other viruses.  Try it and see the improvement for yourself. 

Contacts List - create a file so you can access it electronically when needed no matter where you are.  It's just a page listing every important contact.  Include your vehicle VIN numbers, license plates, driver license number.  If you vehicle or wallet is stolen you will be glad you have the information and you know who to call.  That means you need to list all the credit card info and phone numbers to call too.  The list will grow as you add to it.  When you need the information it will be easily obtainable by you.  Password protect the file.

Computer - Back up your files or you will certainly lose them from computer failures.  Important:  never compress the files, encrypt or password protect them as these schemes fail and will prevent you from accessing your back up files.  Put your back up files on an external hard disk drive and store it off site.  A good place is inside your vehicle so if you house burns down your car is outside away from the home.  ID theft is a risk due to no password protection.  If this bothers you, then put the hard disk drive in a safe deposit box in a bank.  Why no passwords or encryption of data? Because if you get ill or die nobody will be able to access your data because nobody has your passwords! Don't use tape, CD-ROM's, DVD's for backups as they scratch, warp from heat and fail.  Hard disk drive is best.  Solid state drive is better. When backing up files don't use back up software.  Do a manual file-by-file backup.  How?  Copy and paste directories one at a time to your external backup drive.  Why?  Because back up software programs fail and often won't work to replace files on a new computer.  It's okay to have more than one backup.  So, do a file-by-file and use an image backup program if you want, but remember, the file-by-file is going to remain the most reliable and will bail you out every time and you need no special software to access your computer files.  I rely on the file-by-file having learned the hard way painfully losing valuable data using other methods.  Don't use backup companies to store your data as they too can be broken into and your data stolen.

Clothes Dryer - This device is an energy hog and expensive to operate because it requires a lot of heat to dry wet clothing.  But there is a device you can insert along with your clothes that will save 30% of the energy used to dry clothing and gets the job done faster than what you now do your clothing.  They are called Dryer Balls.  They are rubber balls with spikes on them and they really do work to save energy and they often soften your clothes better than liquid and cloth sheet softener products.  Try the product.  You will save time and money. 

Computer Software - you do need anti-virus software.  It is just too risky to be without it. 
   
Financial Independence - People dream of it, work and save their money in hopes of obtaining it in retirement, but most all fail.  Why?  Because they have not learned one very important lesson.  If you want financial independence you not only have to start your own business, you need to develop a product to sell that only "you" have so the rest of the world has to come to you to get that product.  Develop a new product, even an old similar product will do.  What about patents?  You can, but you don't have to file for a patent and pay the tens of thousands of dollars it will cost you only to find out the product idea fails.  Solution?  Just develop a new product and sell it and see how it goes from their.  If it is successful then file a patent, if not move on to a new ideal and a new product.  Women can create a new cosmetic product.  Men can create a new cleaning product for a car, motorcycle or some other machinery to get started.  How to get started?  Search on the Internet for "contract manufacturers" or "custom blenders" and manufacturers already have product that can put you own label on the product.  Imagine that!  Start you new product as a side-line for fun then let it grow and expand until you can kiss your present job goodbye.  See Taking Tax Deduction below.  

Fly Killer - Try this all purpose cleaner, Cinch.  Just srpay it at a flying fly and down it goes.  No mess, no stains, no poison fumes in the home.  Kills instantly.  No swatting or chasing down the fly.  If you can get just a few particles of Cinch on the fly, it stops flying and dies.  Nothing works better.  Cinch can be bought at supermarkets.  Made by Spicnspan.com  It also, of course, is a very nice cleaner especially on glass and computer screens.  Absolutely no smears whatsoever, no rubbing the glass.  Just spray it on and wipe it off.  You will like to have Cinch in your home.

Gas Mileage - Correct tire air pressure, low rolling resistant tires, clean air filter.  These are the three big things you always hear about and for good reason, they work.  But don't forget to get some iridium spark plugs.  They have a brighter spark to increase miles per gallon and power too!  Use regular gas 87 octane fuel if you live above 3,000 feet in elevation as octane requirements are decreased with the lean air conditions.  You'll save a lot of money, hundreds of dollars each year or more! But, if you hear pinging noises when you accelerate hard try using 89 octane fuel.  This works with motorcycles too!  Use fuel injector cleaner every three months.  Try adding Marvel Mystery Oil in the gasoline tank.  It's a good product to clean and lubricate intake valves and upper cylinders.  You can certainly use it in most diesel engines, but check with Marvel first as some new diesels may not take a liking to it (air pollution systems).  Try using an alternative product that will be compatible.  Add a can of Restore to your car or truck gas or diesel engine oil at each oil change. It will increase the compression, increase power and gas mileage.  Try it!  (But don't use it in motorcycles with a wet clutch).
      
Internet Addresses - If keeping track of all your important contacts is critical consider obtaining an Internet Address Book that is separated from your computer.  If your computer hard drive fails or it is stolen, lost in fire or flood all of your contacts will be lost too, including all the passwords and usernames you need. 
Lost and Found - if you ever find an external memory device (like a thumb drive) never plug it into your computer.  It can be a device intentionally left so it will infect the computer of the person who finds it.  That virus or other executable program can steal the information from your computer and relay it over the Web back to the thief who wants your private information. 

Mechanical - get all your ducks lined up before you need maintenance repairs on vehicles or around the home.  The best time to find a good mechanic or handyman is when you don't need one.  This way you will not make the wrong call out of desperation and end up with a bum who will perform shoddy workmanship and overcharge you too.  Word of mouth referrals can be very helpful but you need a lot of people saying that person is good, not just one.  Make sure the person is properly trained, licensed and insured / bonded.  If you subscribe to consumer reports magazine you will read articles about these things.

Medical Record List- create a page listing all medications, doctors, insurance company, etc.  Put this page in your wallet.  When you need the information it is right there.  Makes life easier.  Do not password protect the file so emergency personnel can read it, but this does open the possibility of medical identity theft.   Consider entering all the data electronically in an online medical data vault as this is the trend of the future and all you need is list where your medical information is being stored so "authorized" people can access it.  See Microsoft Health Vault for an example.
 
Medicine - you can sometimes save money if you ask your doctor to subscribe a larger dose pill that can be split in half to meet your required dose.  The larger dose pill may actually cost less than the smaller dose pill.  Use generic name whenever possible than name-brand medications. 

Motorcycles - go to this page for lots of free advice and save you money too!

Motorcycle or Car Flat Tires - Many people do not carry a flat tire repair kit with them, but they should, especially motorcycle riders with alloy wheels as the flat can be easily repaired.  All you need is the rope type flat tire fix kit and a small portable air compressor that runs off the vehicle battery.  Make sure the power cord is long enough or the air hose is long to reach from the vehicle battery to all four tires.  Simply read the instructions and flat tires will be no problem for you.  Carry a set of needle nose pliers so you can remove the imbedded nail or object from the tire.  Keep a flashlight in the repair kit.  Remember, your cell phone may not work in many areas in the country or it may break or the batteries fail.  Why not be prepared to fix the flat yourself?  I keep my kit in a fork bag on my motorcycle and a kit in my pickup truck under the back seat.  I have tow insurance, but I can fix a flat if need be.

Printers - best printer to save money on ink?  Get a Kodak printer.  You'll save lots of money.  If you don't need color printing buy a laser jet printer.  The toner does not evaporate like ink does and cost per printed page is very, very low.  A good brand of printer (monochrome or color) to consider is Brother.  They have all the modern features and their toner prints thousands of pages more.  They also have wonderful color printers too.   HP printers were the best at one time, but they have lost reliability and the cost of their print cartridges are outrageously expensive.  Canon and Epson makes nice high-end ink jet printers for photos.  Check out Kodak and Brother brands before you buy a printer, you will save a lot of money.  Remember, if you print high resolution vector graphics (like the very sharp and fine lines on a dollar bill) get a laser printer.  Ink jet printers can't can't do the job, they smear the lines together.  Stay away from Zerox brand printers.  They are not true laser printers with toner, they often use solid ink and they won't print vector graphics and are unreliable, jam often, locks up and freezes, hard drive failures, random error messages, software failues, tech support nonexistent, unhelpful, etc.  I paid approximately $5,000 for one of their better Phaser printers and it was so terrible I had to give it away for free.  I lost a lot of money on Zerox! Don't make the same mistake I made.  I own Kodak, Canon and Brother printers.   I see a lot of people at print shops that could be saving a ton of money if they just bought their own printer.  Printing is not cheap, but personal inkjet and laser printers are!

Sickness Prevention - carry alcohol hand wipes with you and use them often.  Especially in supermarkets and when you leave supermarkets.  The hand cart handles are filthy dirty with germs.  This includes any retail store.  That is where you are getting most all of your head colds, flu and even diarrhea episodes and worse diseases.  When you leave a retail business wipe your hands clean.  Also clean the steering wheel in your car and other knobs and levers you touch.  You will see a much better improvement with less colds.
Shopping List - create a file that lists everything you buy and own.  Include the model and serial number and date purchased, where it was purchased and a phone number.  (also, list the vehicles, vin number as in your "Contacts List" above) now when you want to buy a part for your car or other household item you can refer to your shopping list and know precisely which model and part number you need.  Use the shopping list to record where you buy your favorite foods and the supermarket where it is sold.  Now you will know everything you need to know just by accessing that handy shopping list page.  Makes errands easy, less stressful.  

Success - Consider selling a product.  Better yet, develop your own product and sell it.  No matter which career you choose you can always create and sell a product on the side.  Who knows?  It could launch you into a much better life.  At worse, you will earn extra income.  Learn marketing, that is the secret to selling products.  Be creative and give away free samples or free novelty items to attract people to your product/business.  You will see the "free" concept in all the major corporations advertising because it works.

Tires - You never know the air pressure in your tires unless you have some fancy and expensive device to monitor tire air pressure.  Go buy some valve caps called "TireWise".  They screw onto the valve stem and if green the air pressure is good, if red, the air pressure is low.  Very handy, easy to see and inexpensive.  Works for cars, trucks, motorcycles, ATV's etc.  Hint:  Get the air pressure size that matches one pound air pressure above the maximum or recommended air pressure noted on the tire or on the vehicle's frame or owners manual.  Come with a three year warranty.

Trapped Inside Your House - it happens and it can mean a slow and frightening death for you or a loved one .  Go into your bathroom or other rooms and closets and imagine if the door lock failed.  Could you escape?  Some rooms have no windows.  Would anyone be able to hear your screams?  I was trapped inside an RV once and I learned my lesson.  The door latch failed and I had no way out, but I did escape from a small roof vent and I was lucky I had a screwdriver to remove the vent.  In your home let's assume you have two bathrooms and a closet that if the door latch slammed closed on any of them by the wind and failed, you would be seriously trapped inside.  In this case, buy a small flashlight and a screwdriver with a Philips and flat blade (or whatever style is required to disassemble that door lock) and keep the tools inside each of those death trap locations so you can escape!  This is wise preparation.  You may not have your cell phone with you when it happens so be prepared.  Put this on your "to do" list before you regret it.

Three Lists - There are three documents you should create electronically that will make life easy for you.  They are listed here in this article as Contacts List, Medical Records List and the Shopping List.  Do it.

Vehicle Maintenance - Learn to change your own oil in your vehicles.  You'll save money and enjoy knowing the job is done right with high quality parts and oil that will save you expensive repair bills.  It's enjoyable to do it yourself.  If you have a motorcycle, click here

WHY DO WE HUMANS GET SICK WHILE ANIMALS IN THE WILD DON’T

If we will take just a few moments to consider the animals in the wild I believe we can learn something from them. Animals in the wild carry no Health Insurance, nor do they have made available to them Medicare, Medicaid, Hospitals, doctors, drugs, radiation, or surgeries.
Nor do they have university trained nutritionists to tell them what they should or should not eat, or how many grams of this or calories of that they should consume to be properly nourished, and yet animals in the wild rarely ever get sick!

So just what is it that allows animals in the wild, without any help from experts in the medical community or dieticians to experience excellent health, while man with all these so-called helps, becomes sicker and sicker as the cost of this so-called health care continues to climb?

Here is the answer: Animals in the wild follow the instincts God placed within them when He created them. An animal in the wild knows by the instinct programmed into them by God, where to go to obtain the nutrients necessary to sustain life immediately upon birth. Do they not instinctively seek out mother’s milk supply without any help from man?

And after these wild animals are weaned, do they not know instinctively and by mother’s example, and without mans help, what to eat in order to sustain life? We call them dumb animals, but they are far wiser than we humans when it comes to how to nourish and maintain their God created physical bodies.

WHY DO AUTOMOBILES PING AND KNOCK?
Most people who drive an automobile know that the engine of the vehicle they are driving was designed by its designer to run on a certain grade or octane of gasoline. If a person is not aware of this requirement and in ignorance places within the gas tank of that vehicle a low octane fuel or contaminated fuel, what will be the result? Will that low octane or contaminated fuel not cause pinging and knocking to occur within the engine?

Now if when that pinging and knocking occurs, they take the vehicle to a mechanic to fix and he is unaware that they have put a low octane or contaminated fuel in the gas tank, the mechanic might do all kinds of things in an effort to fix the problem, possibly making the problem even worse, while charging money for his unsuccessful efforts.

But the mechanic will be unable to fix the problem as long as he is unaware that the problem was caused by the owner placing wrong fuel into the gas tank. Doesn’t that sound a lot like what the bible says about how doctors have unsuccessfully been trying to fix the physical problems of mankind for over 2,000 years.

“And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood for twelve years, And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse.” (Mark 5:25-26)

If we humans are going to experience the health we so desire, and the health animals in the wild enjoy, we must be mindful of the warning God gives us in Galatians 6:7, and let’s apply this teaching to what we take into our body and expose our body to: “And be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.”

SO WHY DO WE HUMANS GET SICK?
I’m going to drop a bombshell here: Almost every physical and even psychological problem we humans experience during our entire lifetime (other than accidents of course) is caused by the placing of wrong fuel (food or drink) into our body, and the physical and emotional problems we experience are almost always merely the body reacting to that wrong fuel.

If this be so, and it is an accurate statement, what can the doctor do to help us? If the problems we are experiencing are caused by wrong or bad fuel, can those pinging and knockings (physical problems) be corrected by placing more contaminants into the body in the form of drugs (poisons)? Or rather will not these additional contaminants produce more pinging and knocking (additional problems)?
And if the problem is caused by bad fuel, will radiating (burning) the offending part restore health? Or will removing the part surgically restore health? Do you believe the mechanic working on your car can, by removing the spark plugs or other parts, create a condition that will allow the car to run better, when the problem is bad fuel?

I CHANGED FUEL 34 YEARS AGO AND RECOVERED FROM CANCER
In 1976, after I was told I had colon cancer, I went looking for a way of dealing with that cancer without the use of toxic chemotherapy, burning radiation, or mutilating surgery, because of the devastating results my own mother had experienced going the medical route before me when dealing with her colon cancer.

The reason I went looking for an alternative was that after mother was diagnosed with colon cancer, she very willing accepted the standard medical treatments for cancer of chemotherapy, cobalt (radiation) and surgery, and at the time of her death I was convinced that all these treatments, rather than helping her get better, actually had make her worse and that it was these medical treatments that had become the very cause of her death.

Not wanting to go the way mother had gone with her colon cancer, in desperation I turned to an Evangelist friend in Texas by the name of Lester Roloff for help. At the time, brother Roloff was trying to get preachers and fellow Christians to change what they ate, but his efforts were met with not only rejection, but often ridicule and criticism.

However, my reaction to what Brother Roloff was saying was not one of rejection, ridicule or criticism, but rather “Brother Roloff I need your help” and his advice to me was, if I wanted to get well, I needed to stop placing into my body those things that had created my cancer – in other words he encouraged me to change the fuel.

His advice was that I eliminate anything of animal origin (both flesh and dairy), along with all refined sugar, refined flour and caffeine, the very substances I had been consuming on almost a daily basis for the previous 42 years. These were the things brother Roloff said had caused my cancer.

And in their place, Brother Roloff encouraged me to adopt the Genesis 1:29 diet, the very diet God had given Adam immediately after He had created him. The diet he encouraged me to consume was a diet consisting of 100% raw plant sourced garden foods and to drink a lot of freshly extracted raw vegetable juices.

It was in January 1976 I took Brother Roloff’s advice, made the diet change overnight, and almost immediately started to get well. The rectal bleeding soon stopped and the baseball tumor under my left rib cage began to shrink.

Within less than one year, without any chemotherapy, radiation or surgery, or any other doctoring, my tumor had simply disappeared and I was totally well. But not only did my cancer disappear that first year, but so did every other physical problems I was experiencing prior to making a change in the fuel (food and drink) I was placing in my body.

I WRITE A BOOK REGARDING BAD FUEL CAUSING PHYSICAL PROBLEMS
When I wrote my first book “Why Christians Get Sick” way back in 1988, I listed certain food and drink items Christians were placing into their body that were the primary cause of almost every physical problem, other than accidents, Christians were experiencing.

As the content of that book began to be realized I began to receive not only rejection, but also ridicule and criticism from fellow preachers and Christians just as Brother Roloff had received criticism before me when he tried to get Christians to change what they ate. The criticism was especially intense when I encouraged the elimination of animal flesh, dairy, and cheese. Hadn’t God told us we could eat animal flesh in Genesis 9:3 my critics railed?

Since that initial rejection of my book by the preachers and the Christian community in general, over a million copies of “Why Christians Get Sick” have been printed, while thousands have purchased additional copies to give to friends and loved ones who they wanted to see improve their health. Why would people send friends and loved ones copies of this book?

Because those who applied the teachings of the book almost always got well from whatever their physical or psychological problems were and they wanted their loved ones and friends to experience improved health also.

Here is a letter I received just this past week from Briana B., who lives in Bethel Springs, Tennessee: “Thanks you so much for spreading the good news of living God’s Way! I have just finished reading “Why Christians Get Sick” and really enjoyed it. I’ve been on the Hallelujah Lifestyle for just 3 days now and already feel great. Thanks so much for all you do to spread the good news and enlighten people.”
Not wanting to go the way mother had gone with her colon cancer, in desperation I turned to an Evangelist friend in Texas by the name of Lester Roloff for help. At the time, brother Roloff was trying to get preachers and fellow Christians to change what they ate, but his efforts were met with not only rejection, but often ridicule and criticism.

Armor all: Brazil is fast becoming the world's garage for armored cars.

By LUCIANO SOMENZARI

Levels of violent crime in big cities, above all in the developing world, can be frightening. Constant fear of terrorist attacks in the United States, Europe and in the Middle East worry business executives. In Brazil, companies make money by protecting people from those very real threats: It's now the largest producer of armored passenger automobiles. The know-how of turning a regular car into an armored vehicle has created yet another well received export.

According to according to market estimates, more than 3,800 armored vehicles were built in Brazil last year. During the first half of 2005, the industry reported a 15% increase from the same period a year earlier. Those figures show up on the bottom line: Armored passenger cars produced estimated revenue that year of US$100 million. In 1995, Brazilian factories produced 388 armored passenger vehicles; by 2002, the country's armor shops had built 4,136 passenger cars.

The number of armored vehicles roaming the streets of Brazil has reached 22,000, the third-largest fleet of private armored vehicles in the world after Colombia and Mexico. A good part of the production of components for high-security cars, such as bulletproof glass, is produced in Brazil and shipped abroad. "Brazil has become a respected supplier of armored vehicles because it offers good prices and high-quality technology," says Franco Giaffone, president of the Abrablin, the armored-car industry association. For Giaffone, the industry got to where it is today due to the Brazilian automotive sector, which was forced to become more competitive amid rising domestic demand.

White Death

Hallelujah Diet

 Are you addicted to it? Consuming refined white sugar is one of the worst things we can do for our immune system, weight, and total health. Many holistic doctors say white sugar is a killing you. This may be overly simplistic, but it does sum up refined sugar’s impact on the physical body.
Not all sugars are unhealthy. Certain sugars have minimal negative impact and remarkable health benefits. However the refined white sugar that most people use every day is harmful even in small amounts.
Refined sugar suppresses the immune system. It has been shown to decrease the vitality and number of white blood cells, limiting the body’s ability to respond to invaders.
It also depresses the body’s energy field and makes the blood acidic. Both of these make the body more susceptible to toxins, bacteria and viruses. Sugar also feeds bacteria such as candida and yeast.
Refined sugar hits your bloodstream hard, severely impacts blood sugar levels, decreases digestive enzymes, increases body weight, and negatively affects the pancreas.
Found in most soft drinks, candy, sauces, salad dressings, baked goods and thousands of other prepared foods, refined sugar can be very difficult to avoid unless you are fixing your own food from scratch.
If you want to experience ultimate health as God designed for your body, avoid refined sugar!
