There is a lot of confusion these days about diet and I sympathize with those who are bewildered by all the conflicting information and contradictory advertising hype. I believe the confusion stems from the fact that most diet research is done on people who have disorganized nervous system to begin with. This is why some diets work for some people and not for others, why some people find a nutritional regime effective in dealing with an ailment while others find no relief. Of course the results are contradictory when there is no consistency to begin with.

In this chapter I am not presenting another miracle diet. I am offering some basic guidelines that I have learned over the years, and patients have reported to be of great benefit, especially after a person's nervous systems has been reorganized. Through my study of numerous books on Chinese medicine, the Ayurvedic approach of ancient India and of western style nutrition, I have concluded that we should listen to our bodies and find out what really works for us.

I recommend that people follow this holistic model of health care: First, reorganize the nervous system to free it of physical and emotional interference. Second comes cleansing and working toward improved elimination. Next, we should work toward improving the diet which includes an increased awareness of pH balance; and then our aim should be to calm the system, reduce the stress and maintain balance in everything we do.

Going back to the triad of health, it is obvious that the nutritional or chemical side of our existence is, for the most part, under our own control. We decide what we want to eat, drink, inhale, inject, or rub on our bodies. It is of the utmost importance, therefore, that we educate ourselves and take responsibility for the choices we make. For every raw material or stimulus the body is subjected to, for every piece of junk food we consume or vaccination that we receive, there is a physical response and probably an emotional response. We may not be able to control absolutely everything we ingest or breathe, since things like air pollution and genetically tampered foods may be beyond our control at this time. But it is important to make the best choices we can, while becoming advocates for better quality water, air and food supplies in our areas.
