RENEWAL is an acronym which stands for Rest, Environment, Nutrition, Exercise, Water, Aids and Limits which are the principles needed to gain Health and Wellness. These precepts keep you healthy and can reverse symptoms of illness. This article will concentrate on Aids.
Many remedies are unknown, not because they are ineffective, but because taking a pill seems easier. Doctors know, however, that each pill prevents nutrients, minerals or vitamins from being absorbed, which may lead to deficiencies and side effects. Therefore, they realize that while they can seem to eliminate symptoms, often the cause goes untreated.
Aids teach us that there are causes to illness, the body is designed to heal itself and there is hope of recovery without poisons. In an age of degenerative diseases assisting the body in RENEWAL is the effectual aid to recovery.
Disease is the effect of nature to free the system from internal conditions that result from a violation of the laws of health. In the case of sickness, the cause should be ascertained. Unhealthful conditions should be changed, wrong habits corrected. Then nature is to be assisted in her effort to expel impurities and to re-establish right conditions in the system.
Natural remedies are an effective way to assist the body to expel toxins and therein reverse symptoms without causing side effects. At times using the first five steps in RENEWAL alone will remedy illness, but sometimes more aggressive measures are needed. There are four methods that I use: hydrotherapy, herbs, activated charcoal and fasts.
Hydrotherapy is the use of simple water treatments; it uses water in all forms internally or externally to treat disease or trauma. Hydrotherapy works because water is an excellent conductor of heat and can regulate functions inside the body. You can treat yourself internally by applying water externally i.e. a cool cloth on the back of the neck to relive a headache.
Herbs contain medicinal factors at a nontoxic level with safe application. Some herbs cause immediate effect. For example my family and I were suffering from food poisoning while out of town. We used ginger to calm our stomachs and felt relief in less then 30 minutes.
Activated charcoal powder is an amazing substance that absorbs more poisons than any other substance known to mankind. One teaspoonful of it has a surface area of more than 10,000 square feet. There are no ill effects of charcoal, since it does not react with the body. It can be used both internally and externally and is the best way of dealing with poisoning in hospitals to this day. Natural Aids are vital to keep your body, mind and soul well.
