Oddly enough, I started one version of this Naturopathy page as a response to someone with certain symptoms who asked, 'What should I take?'.  In response, I provided suggestions as to what lifestyle changes might be
appropriate.   I got no 'Likes' to that post.  But here they are anyway.  lol

Can I list a few things you should not take?  You know, 'You cannot dry off under the shower', so you have to avoid/eliminate habits, situations, or consumption that are continuing to aggravate.

How about: do not consume any sugar or sweeteners; do not consume any form of alcohol, at all, ever.  Do not slather yourself with hand sanitizer or subject your lungs and cranial cavity to conventional disinfectant sprays.  Do not consume cigarette smoke; do not consume unfiltered water (I personally drink distilled).  And if you were hoping that Reverse Osmosis (RO) eliminated glyphosate?  no - not likely.   Although, fermented food (sauerkraut, kombucha, kimchi) do help break it down, though.

Eat only organic - except maybe foods on the Clean 15 list (see Environmental Working Group).  Some foods may  be considered 'safe', but these days it's all a matter of degree. 

​

And don't forget your local Farmer's Market.  They need your support.  And we need each other.  Even if their food is not 'Certified Organic', it may well be as organic as you can get.  The certification process may not be so easy for them to justify.

 

But don't just stop there.  Grow your own food.  I would like to find a good gardening site for reference here - maybe Farmer's Almanac.

 

But don't just stop there either.  Grow your own dirt.  You are using  commercial toxic  materials to grow your garden?  Or maybe you just didn't read the bag.  Grow your own worm farm, your own dirt, composting and recycling from your kitchen waste; and create rich nutrients for your plants.  Yes, I have good links and amazing information for this.

Eat only foods for your Blood Type.  For now, look to this when you want to talk about gluten sensitivity.

 

Get sunshine early in the morning to stimulate your pineal gland.  If interested, here's a link to an external site on Melatonin.

Get fresh air.

Go to bed early and do not eat anything three hours before you sleep (only your nightly supplements).  

Limit your eating to an 8-6 hour window.  Your body exerts, from what I have heard, up to 80% of its energy solely in the digestive process.  By limiting the time that your body is involved in the digestion process, you allow it
much more energy to devote to living and healing.  Another advantage to this technique, which is called intermittent fasting, is to switch your body in and out of ketosis.  (I heard something like they exumed Mathama Ghandi, and at age 87 they found his organs to be that of a 47 year old?)   A 72 hour water-only fast (distilled water) is said to stimulate apoptosis and actually generate stem cells.

And sleep in darkness and quiet.  Be calm.  Do not think about any projects.  Just allow the parasympathetic mind to take over.

Avoid stress. 

Everything is not always about taking pills, although CBD and GABA have been used..

Break your coffee habit (and BTW, non-organic coffee is likely supremely toxic).

Chew your food.  Thoroughly.

Eat according to digestive order: do not combine fruits with any other food (let it digest for an hour before another type of food); do not combine meats and grains.  But you can combine vegetables with either.   As for meats and fats (avocados, nuts, oils), allow up to 4 hours to digest these before combining with incompatibles.

Dairy?  Well, camel milk is the least harmful, followed by donkey milk.  Gorilla milk is harder to come by - I can't say for sure about that one. Here's a link about Milk.  I will have more to say about that.

Dental health:  Get rid of your dental amalgams - you know, the ones with 55% mercury?  They won't even allow a dentist to dispose of these in the trash.  They have to be sent to a hazardous waste site.

Curtail your EMF (electro-magnetic frequency) exposure.

Some Marketing Hype:

• Non-GMO? That still does not mean that it is not sprayed with glyphosate, it just means that the seeds were not genetically modified.  Don't fall for it.

• Organic?  Really?  The water supply is organic, or is it  biosludge?

• Gluten Free?  All grain has gluten. Rice, Oats, Rye, they contain gluten.   As for Wheat, though, it is the wheat protein that people are sensitive to.   A permeable intestine allows this protein to pass through.  The body attacks the wheat protein as foreign.  You've got this foreign protein passing through a 20' tube containing villi and crypts the area of a football field.  It overwhelms the immune system, to say the least.

 

Since I mentioned Vitamin C, what food do you suppose has the greatest antioxidant capacity?  Prunes come in 2nd place at about 1/10 the antioxidant effect.  Try gogi berries, a.k.a. wolf berries.

Those are some basic components of a healthy living lifestyle.  I will post more, and links, as time permits.
