Over the last 200 years there are three factors in our environment that have been changing very slowly. And the danger, when environmental factors change slowly, is that no one seems to notice until things get out of hand. Here’s what’s been changing.

•  TOXICITY IN OUR ENVIRONMENT – Think back 200 years and ask yourself was the air different, was the water different, were there as many man made chemicals and preservatives in our food, drinks, and personal care products. . Over the past 200 years the levels of toxins we are exposed to has sky rocketed. 100’s of millions of cars and trucks on the road, factories spewing toxins into the air 24 / 7. Jets flying around the clock. Did know that a 747 burns 1500 gallons of fuel before it ever leaves the ground? And what happens as all of these toxins move through our bodies day in and day out? Well, the tell tale signs are here. Despite all of the advances in technology and medicine, cancer rates continue to climb at a staggering 25% per year!

•  NUTRITIONAL INTAKE IS DECREASING. That’s not to say we are eating less, most of us are eating more, but we are eating junk food that is devoid of nutrition. You see, your body is designed to rebuild, repair, and regenerate itself, and the magnificent creation that is our body is fully capable of doing this. But there’s a catch . . . . you have to give your body what it needs . . . . you have to give your body pure whole food nutrition that delivers the natural nutrients that your cells can recognize – not burgers, chips, and sodas. The mineral Calcium is used to rebuild and repair cartilage in the joints. . . . and the list goes on and on. But if your body gets the proper amount of calcium . . . . every single day . . . guess what, you won’t come down with arthritis. In the last year the medical research community switched the primary focus of its research from miracle supplements to studying the disease remission and preventative benefits of whole food. Many major publications such as Time Magazine, and Newsweek have reported on the extent of these findings. There are numerous studies and articles that have come out over the last several years relating to the use of whole food to prevent and remit disease.

•  DOCTORS ONLY MAKE MONEY WHEN WE GET SICK. Of all the things that have been changing . . . this one is the most shocking. And it’s not the doctors per se but the entire medical system that we have. In medical school, doctors rarely study nutrition and prevention. . . . but rather . . . . how to cure a disease after someone becomes afflicted. What’s really going on when someone goes to the doctor complaining of arthritis? If you really think about it, the person is experiencing pain because of a nutritional deficiency, and now that the disease has set in, the doctor will sell them some man made chemical to help ease the pain. Is this what medicine was meant to be? And what do you think would happen if your doctor got paid each month you were healthy and lost money when you got sick? Do you think you would hear more about nutrition if that were the case?

Well, strangely enough it is the case, not with humans though . . . . . but with animals! Farm animals to be exact. Think about it. When the animals get sick, the farmers lose money. So for decades and decades, they have been perfecting the nutritional formulas in their feeds. And it’s worked! When was the last time you heard about exploding cancer rates in chickens? And the same companies that produce commercial feeds also make the food we buy for our dogs and cats. Take a look at the label on any can of dog food and you’ll find this statement - PROVIDES 100 % COMPLETE AND BALANCED NUTRITION. Think about it . . . . the longer “Rover” lives, the more “Rover” eats, an the more money they make. Imagine that. Can you find that statement on a pizza, or on a pack of hot dogs? Can you find that statement on anything that you buy for your kids in the grocery store? And then ask your self, who gets sick more, your kids or your dog?

Yet some ask . . . how can this be happening right under our noses? Why do most people seem to be ignoring this utter catastrophe? Well the answer is simple, it is the nature of human beings to not take action until they absolutely have to . . . . and things will have to get a little worse until most people really wake up.

Have you ever heard the story of the frog in the frying pan? It goes something like this. You can put a pan of cool water on the stove and put a live frog in the pan, and as long as the water is comfortable the frog will stay right in the pan. You can then turn the heat to a very low setting. So low, that as the water begins to heat up the frog can’t notice the difference. As the water gets warmer and warmer the frog gets sleepier and sleepier and finally falls off in a deep sleep. Meanwhile the water is getting hotter and hotter and hotter. Finally when the water begins to boil the frog wakes up but the heat of the water has relaxed its muscles so much that the frog can’t jump out of the pan. It tries, it strains and lurches this way and that way but by the time it wakes up . . . . it’s too late. In a way this happens to people pretty much same way. They ignore the nutritional needs of their bodies, ignore the fact that they need even better nutrition to help their bodies combat the effect of all the toxins that we are exposed to and one day . . . . boom . . . . heart attack! Then they wake up . . . . and a lot of times they don’t.

But all this has not gone completely unnoticed, in fact there has been a quiet revolution afoot for some time. This quiet revolution has come to be known as the HEALTH AND WELLNESS INDUSTRY.

" The doctor of the future will give no medicine,
but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame,
in diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease."
Thomas Edison

Most people are very surprised to find out that the history of the Health and Wellness Industry began many years ago with a wonderful man named Thomas Edison. He saw it coming over 100 years ago. Edison was single handedly responsible for many things that we use and take for granted every day. He invented the electric light, he invented the first motion picture camera, he even invented the process of recording sound! Edison had an uncanny ability to see into the future and to predict what people would need. And that’s what motivated him. He was right about all the other things he invented . . . . and he was right about the Health and Wellness Industry too.

Yes, this quiet revolution has been gaining ground for some time. People have been waking up to the facts, and what has long been a quiet revolution can be compared to a smoking volcano. A volcano that’s showing signs of eruption! And when it erupts, anyone positioned properly in the Health and Wellness Industry can do very well indeed. And our congratulations to you . . . . for being one of the few.
