Three Main Causes of Illness

How can we achieve our aspirations in life, without our body getting in the way? At the very least, we must avoid the three main causes of illness: (1) Nutritional Deficiencies, (2) Toxins, and (3) Allergies.1. Nutritional DeficienciesYour body is like a car: it has to have the right "gas and oil" to run. Proper nutrients from proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, and good pure water are what make the body go. If you are not well, or are functioning like an old rusty station wagon, the first step is to find out what nutrients you lack and incorporate them into your diet.2. ToxicitiesA toxin is any foreign substance or entity that shouldn't be in your body but is. Your body is set up to eliminate these debilitating toxins, whether they be heavy metals, pesticides, and industrial chemicals, or bacteria, parasites, and viruses. But when your natural detoxification system has too many toxins, it becomes overloaded, your body organs and processes become weakened, and illness sets in.3. AllergiesWe're all familiar with traditional allergies: during springtime, pollen wipes you out, but leaves others untouched. Or, the guy next to you can drink milk, but you can't. However, allergies can also be...

Dr. David Minkoff Finds Atkins Dieters May Be Protein Deficient

Clearwater, Fla. — Dr. David Minkoff, M.D., alternative healthcare expert specializing in protein nutrition, says that even as Americans consume record levels of protein, on high protein diets like the Atkins and South Beach, many are still protein deficient. On beef alone, a high-protein food, Americans will spend $70 billion this year, eating it 77.8 million times a day across America, according to the National Cattlemen's Beef Association. Yet Dr. David Minkoff says lab tests often show many people are protein deficient. "Standard blood panels may not indicate deficiency, but in deeper tests of the serum, we do find that many are deficient," says Dr. David Minkoff.Why aren't people getting the protein they need from their diet? Dr. Minkoff says that as individuals enter middle age, they lose about half of the hydrochloric acid in their stomachs. This hydrochloric acid is necessary to activate the digestive enzymes, such as pepsin, that initiate protein breakdown. "If you can't digest the protein you eat," says Dr. Minkoff, "it doesn't matter how much protein you're eating - your body won't absorb it.""Atkins type dieters overload their body with protein and high levels of nitrogen waste products. But many of these people don't adequately...

The Path to Optimum Health

Optimum Health: A person whose body is in excellent condition, with plentiful energy and freedom from pain. The body of a person with optimum health should be able to deal with routine environmental stressors without breaking down, and should be able to recover quickly after physical insults. It should allow a person trouble free performance so that he or she can enjoy the maximum lifespan of his or her genetic endowment.Health is not a static state - it is determined by the daily lifestyle choices you make and the inherited strengths and weaknesses of your body. All individuals have their own unique optimum health for their body. This optimum state is a condition that can be measured by both objective and subjective indicators.Theory of the PathwayUsually, ill health is a path that one has been on, perhaps unknowingly, for many years. It's the accumulation of lifestyle and environmental stress that has then overwhelmed the organism, gradually degraded it, and then ever so slowly caused its degeneration.Most people are surprised when an event finally occurs that wakes them up and tells them they are sick. For 35% of people with heart disease, there are no symptoms until the sudden heart attack...
