"Those who fail to take the time to be healthy will ultimately have to take the time to be sick." ~ Dr. James Chappell
So you desire to enjoy a long, healthy, happy life or should I say, you desire to be the "exception to the rule."
You should know from the start that the "odds" are stacked against you, but by accepting and tackling the challenge it's possible you'll definitely find it very worthwhile and rewarding, not to point out adding many years of happiness onto your lifespan.
Talking of "lifespan", shall we pause for a moment and think about that.
Its key to differentiate between living a "long life" (lifespan) and living a "long HEALTHY life" (healthspan), which then can translate into the ideal situation where you would enjoy a "LONG, HEALTHY, HAPPY LIFE".
I know of many employees, young and outdated who just exist from daily with aches and pains, disease and suffering and with many bedridden for a number of years before they die prematurely from one of the modern lifestyle diseases like cancer or heart disease. One can hardly call that "living" or having had a great life.
Most employees look ahead to retiring after a long period of working and bringing up a family, with a vision of being able to relax, travel and enjoy a long, happy, healthy life with ones family. The actuality, unfortunately is very different for most individuals.
This dream unfortunately, invariably has a perverse ending in this day and age. Virtually every one of us living a modern lifestyle can be diagnosed with a fatal chronic disease in our lifetime. Most of us will land up having long term expensive drug treatment, causing misery, pain and suffering and eventually death without dignity. At least half of of us can be diagnosed with cancer and can be treated by conventional medicine, ensuing in a slow painful death after undergoing expensive poisonous chemotherapy, radiation or surgery. Those of us lucky enough to escape cancer will most likely succumb to heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimers or some other chronic degenerative lifestyle disease.
Supercentenarians
However there are employees, who in their early years, were never exposed to the current modern lifestyles, toxic pollution, fast foods, processed foods and pharmaceutical medicines, who have proved that you would "LIVE" a long, healthy and happy life.
The Gerontology Research web site (http://www.grg.org) have a validated everywhere list of living "Supercentenarians". ( employees who are 110 years outdated or older). There are currently 69 ladies and 8 guys on this list with 25 in the US, 24 in Japan, 26 from other nations and only 2 living in the UK.
So from this you would get a true understanding of "longevity", but the million dollar question is why do these employees are living so long ?
Its all about "how we are living" and "what we eat" which all boils down to "LIFESTYLE".
Take Control of Your Lifestyle and Your Healthcare
The key challenge is to desire to do this for yourself and your family. The starting element is to take control of your lifestyle and your healthcare by becoming aware and informed and then to take the appropriate actions.
Its hard to accept, but actually NOBODY out there is interested in you and your families healthcare or whether you are living a "long, healthy and happy life" or not.
As a matter of fact you'd be very surprised to know that there is a whole industry that want just the opposite.
I hear you say "But what about my GP, Gynie, Paede, Oncologist, Cardiologist, etc?, unquestionably they are interested ?"
They should be, but do not forget each of these employees make a living from the "Disease Business" astutely managed and controlled by the Pharmaceutical Industry.

and in the e-Book, sets out to enlighten and inform you about what you will want do and what you will want stay away from, to escape the "Disease Business" and enjoy a "long, healthy and happy life". We also desire to expose what the true obstacles are that it's possible you'll definitely encounter on this amazing, rewarding "lifestyle" journey, which will enable you to make the necessary decisions and actions to stay away from them.
Modern Lifestyles
Its an undeniable fact that in this modern era of toxic air and water pollution, fast fried fatty foods, processed foods, carcinogenic groceries, sugar filled foods and drinks, pesticide poisoned soil, fruit and vegetables, alcohol, smoking, lack of exercise, prescription and recreational medicines; just to name the main culprits; nine out of every ten adults will die prematurely from a serious chronic lifestyle degenerative disease. Very few of these diseases were steady only one hundred years ago and are unquestionably attributable to our modern lifestyles.
The variety of aches, pains, disease and suffering are as plentiful and as diverse as humankind. Sickness and disease abound and as we all know most of these diseases cause us and our families misery, pain, financial hardships and suffering and in many cases "death", but sadly most of these deaths may have been avoided.
The Germ Theory
Modern medicine is based on Louis Pasteur s (1822-1895) "Germ Theory" where every disease is attributable to a specific external germ and is seen to be different. The solution being, specific medicines to address and mask each of these symptoms, of which there are currently hundreds. This was the fatal birth of the "Disease Business" and the most lucrative and protected industry on earth today the pharmaceutical industry. Although Pasteur was recognized at the time since the father of bacteriology and microbiology based on his "Germ Theory of Medicine", he was not a medical man and was in direct conflict with other research doctors of the day.
The Cellular Theory
Alternative medicine on the other hand has a holistic, preventative process and is based on Dr Antoine Bechamps (1816-1908) and Claude Bernards (1813-1878) "Cellular Theory" which is based on the "healthy terrain" concept. (a healthy inner body).
So what is the healthy terrain? Bchamp started out to describe it nearly two hundred years ago, but Claude Bernard finally stated that to maintain a "healthy terrain" (disease free body) there were two factors, which when violated were answerable for every known disease.
1. The necessary Nutrition to feed the bodies numerous cells
2. Toxin free blood, cells and body tissues
One must have proper nutrition and be free of toxins to maintain a "healthy terrain". He also established that germs were attracted to diseased tissues and cells and were not the cause of the disease, dispelling Pasteurs "Germ Theory".
The following paragraph is taken from the Antoine Bechamp web page.
"Bechamp was one of France's most prominent and active researchers and biologists. He taught in universities and medical colleges, and printed widely on cell biology, disease, botany and linked subjects. His would likely be a household name today if it wasn't for the activities of Louis Pasteur, who history has treated very kindly indeed, considering his fake science, his tendency to steal ideas (mainly from Bechamp), falsify experimental data, and in general make claims which had no basis in fact. "
It is unfortunate that the profit pushed "Disease Business" continues to endorse the "Germ Theory" for obvious reasons, no matter vast scientific research proving the "Cellular Theory". Notable work has been done for numerous years by many credible researchers everywhere, with a large contribution from the Dr Rath Foundation in the USA who have been very active since 1993 when Dr Rath made the first of many new scientifically proven discoveries leading to his Cellular Medicine theory.
Miracles
Modern medicine has made incredible advances over the last decade, specifically in surgical ways, identification of viruses, burn treatment, trauma and emergency room care. So if you are involved in an accident, these services are essential and often life saving, with these specialist doctors performing lifesaving miracles. Unfortunately not all modern medicine, especially in the place of disease prevention and treatment suits into this category.
The "Modern Medicine" Paradigm
There is however a very different face to modern medicine that affects us all a lot more seriously and frequently. The "modern medicine" paradigm, which promises good health for all and the prevention and cure of disease, has not only failed completely to meet these objectives but has delivered pain, suffering and misery and cost trillions of dollars.
No amount of modern medicine or medical advancement can help you if the medicines are full of poisonous toxins and have such serious side effects. Similarly no amount of processed or fast foods can provide you the nutrition your body needs to be healthy. Ultimately, if you would like optimum health and desire to prevent or reverse disease, you've got no choice, you need to take control of your individual healthcare and change your lifestyle.
The Way Forward
So how do you get the recognition and the necessary information to enable you and your family to are living a long, healthy, happy life.
Firstly, you need to take control of your lifestyle and your healthcare.
Secondly, unless you understand the true nature of what CAUSES disease and death, and how degenerative diseases develop in the body, it's possible you'll definitely not offer you the choice to take the necessary steps to offer protection to yourself and your family. The earlier you start the quicker you would start living and have peace of mind and not become a "Wasted Life" statistic.
"Wasted Lives"
Did you know that in the UK somebody dies unnecessarily from heart disease every three minutes? Are you or any individual you know a potential candidate for heart disease or any of the other modern scourges, like cancer, diabetes or Alzheimers ?
To get a real perspective on the scale of these "wasted lives", shall we look at just a few of the statistics for the UK and the USA. The following are just for the three main killers, heart disease, cancer and modern medicine. Yes "modern medicine" !
Cancer deaths in the UK in 2005 there were 153,491 deaths from cancer, according to figures printed on the www. cancerresearchuk.org web site.
Cancer deaths in the USA in 2003 there were 556,902 deaths from cancer according to figures printed by the National Centre for Health Statistics.
Heart disease deaths in the UK 70,000 deaths come up each year with one death every three minutes according to a BBC news article.
Heart disease deaths and statistics in the USA according to the American Heart Association (AHA), heart disease is the number 1 killer answerable for 1 million deaths in 2002 with the statistics for various heart conditions showing 1 adult person in four suffer from some form of heart disease.
Enjoy a "Long, Healthy, Happy Life"
