Why Do People Get Sick And What Can We Do About It?

Juicing: green juice

There seems to be an epidemic of physical, emotional and mental imbalances at the moment.

Juicing: green juiceWe all know someone who is going through chronic and debilitating dis-ease, be it heart dis-ease, cancer, diabetes, or obesity… The list goes on and on. Many experience symptoms that seem to have no explanation, relief, or cure in western medicine. What is this all about? And what can we do about it?

Toxicity Tolerance Level

The main reason for these imbalances is the exposure to environmental chemicals, which can mimic any dis-ease, leading to a conclusion that it is chronic and incurable. Key here is that symptoms and dis-ease occur when the toxicity tolerance level have been reached. The toxicity tolerance level is individual and is for the most part reached in mid to late life. For me, this level was reached in the early twenties.

When you reach the toxicity tolerance level for your body, you have accumulated toxins in your body, usually over a period of time and from various experiences in your life. These accumulations could be colorings and preservatives from foods and skin care products, mercury fillings in your teeth, an abusive relationship, an accident, as well as the pollution in the air and water to mention a few.

You see, how you perceive and experience a situation is completely individual, and what is highly toxic and traumatic for some, may make less of a negative impact on others. In all cases, your perceptions make imprints on your body and these accumulate over time. That said, your body will give you signals long before your toxicity tolerance level has been reached, in the form of symptoms.

When I first realized what was going on in my very dis-eased body at age 26, my body had been trying to wake me up through the symptoms for quite some time.

 Toxins Out, Life Force Energy In

A real life-saver when it comes to release toxins physically, emotionally and mentally, is a body-detox, using cleansing foods and drinks. Cleansing on all levels is a vital key, as well as keeping hydrated and mineralized, if you want to change the pattern of dis-ease and create a new reality. You want the toxins to go out, and the Life Force Energy to come in. I did it and so can you!

Clearly the very best place to start is before you experience any dis-ease. Prevention is very clever. Wise is the woman (and man) who need not get sick first to wake up and live life consciously! Cleansing to stay healthy and expand your consciousness is a fantastic investment and experience. Some of the many benefits of cleansing are more energy and vitality, inner happiness, effortless weight loss, mental clarity, improved digestion and hormonal balance.

So how do you go about cleansing then?

Using raw, vegan foods, green juices, smoothies and superfoods are my best bet to clearing out toxins efficiently and comfortably. The juice from fresh leafy greens, such as arugula, kale and spinach, is incredibly healing as well as cleansing.

The following is a green juice that I use daily in different variations, as well as when I cleanse. It rejuvenates and energizes, strengthens the immune-system and balances the blood-sugar.

Life Force Energy Juice Recipe

  • 1 large cucumber
  • 4-6 large sticks of celery
  • 3 large (or 6 small) stems of kale
  • ½ a head of lettuce/ iceberg salad (add more iceberg if you would like a milder tasting juice)
  • Optional: Coconut water, stevia or apple to sweeten the juice (avoid if unstable blood-sugar)
  • Suggested variations: Fresh ginger, fresh herbs and/ or sprouts. Use spinach or arugula instead of kale.

Juice with a masticating juicer* and enjoy immediately with a big smile on your face. Feel your life being filled with Life Force Energy. Bottoms up!

*By using a masticating juicer rather than a centrifugal juicer, you will be able to juice leafy greens and sprouts.
