(Excerpts from the e-Book " Enjoy a "Long, Healthy, Happy Life" )
"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 wish to have to enjoy a long, healthy, happy life or should I say, you wish to have to be the "exception to the rule."
You should know from the start that the "odds" are stacked against you, however by accepting and tackling the challenge you will find it very worthwhile and rewarding, let alone adding many years of happiness onto your lifespan.
Talking of "lifespan", lets 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 can enjoy a "LONG, HEALTHY, HAPPY LIFE".
I know of many people, young and old who just exist from day to day 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 really perfect life.
Most people look forward to retiring after a long period of working and bringing up a family, with a vision of being in a position to relax, travel and enjoy a long, happy, healthy life with ones family. The reality, unfortunately is very different for most people.
This dream unfortunately, invariably has a perverse ending in this day and age. Virtually every one of us living a modern lifestyle is perhaps 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 in the end death without dignity. At least 1/2 of us is perhaps diagnosed with cancer and is perhaps treated by conventional medicine, resulting in a slow painful death after undergoing expensive poisonous chemotherapy, radiation or surgery. Those of us lucky ample to escape cancer will most probably succumb to heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimers or some different chronic degenerative lifestyle disease.
Supercentenarians
However there are people, who in their early years, were never exposed to the current modern lifestyles, toxic air pollution, fast foods, processed foods and pharmaceutical drugs, who have proved in order that you can "LIVE" a long, healthy and happy life.
The Gerontology Research net site (http://www.grg.org) have a validated worldwide list of living "Supercentenarians". ( those who are 110 years old or older). There are currently 69 women and 8 men on this list with 25 in the US, 24 in Japan, 26 from different countries and only 2 living in the UK.
So from this you can get a true understanding of "longevity", however the million dollar question is why do these people live so long ?
Its all about "how we live" and "what we eat" which all boils down to "LIFESTYLE".
Take Control of Your Lifestyle and Your Healthcare
The key challenge is to want to try this for yourself and your family. The starting point is to take control of your lifestyle and your healthcare by becoming aware and told and then to take the acceptable actions.
Its hard to accept, however in reality NOBODY out there is interested in you and your families healthcare or whether you live a "long, healthy and happy life" or no longer.
As a matter of fact you is perhaps very surprised to know that there is a whole enterprise that want just the opposite.
I hear you say "But what about my GP, Gynie, Paede, Oncologist, Cardiologist, etc?, positively they have an interest ?"
They should be, however remember each of these people make a living from the "Disease Business" astutely managed and controlled by the Pharmaceutical Industry.
This article, with further information on the web page

and in the e-Book, sets out to enlighten and inform you about what you've got to do and what you've got to stay away from, to escape the "Disease Business" and enjoy a "long, healthy and happy life". We also want to expose what the true obstacles are that you could be encounter on this amazing, rewarding "lifestyle" journey, which can 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 air 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 drugs; 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 common just a hundred years ago and are unquestionably brought about by 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 trigger us and our families misery, pain, financial hardships and suffering and in many cases "death", however sadly most of these deaths could have been prevented.
The Germ Theory
Modern medicine is based on Louis Pasteur s (1822-1895) "Germ Theory" where every disease is brought about by a specific external germ and is viewed to be different. The solution being, specific drugs 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 enterprise on earth today the pharmaceutical enterprise. Although Pasteur was recognized at the time as the father of bacteriology and microbiology based on his "Germ Theory of Medicine", he was no longer a medical man and was in direct conflict with different research doctors of the day.
The Cellular Theory
Alternative medicine on the different hand has a holistic, preventative approach 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 began to describe it nearly two hundred years ago, however Claude Bernard finally stated that to maintain a "healthy terrain" (disease free body) there were two factors, which when violated were responsible 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 no longer the trigger 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 schools, and published widely on cell biology, disease, botany and related subjects. His would probably 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 driven "Disease Business" continues to endorse the "Germ Theory" for obvious reasons, irrespective of great scientific research proving the "Cellular Theory". Notable work has been done for numerous years by many credible researchers worldwide, 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, particularly in surgical techniques, identification of viruses, burn treatment, trauma and emergency room care. So in case you are worried in an accident, these services are a must-have and frequently life saving, with these specialist doctors performing lifesaving miracles. Unfortunately no longer all modern medicine, especially in the area of disease prevention and treatment fits 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 typically. The "modern medicine" paradigm, which promises good health for all and the prevention and cure of disease, has no longer only failed totally to meet these objectives however has delivered pain, suffering and misery and cost trillions of dollars.
No extent of modern medicine or medical advancement can help you if the drugs are filled with poisonous toxins and have such serious side effects. Similarly no extent of processed or fast foods can provide you the nutrition your body desires to be healthy. Ultimately, in case you wish to have optimum health and want to prevent or reverse disease, you've got no choice, you must take control of your own healthcare and change your lifestyle.
The Way Forward
So how do you get the awareness and the necessary information to enable you and your family to live a long, healthy, happy life.
Firstly, you must 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, you will no longer be in a position to take the necessary steps to guard yourself and your family. The earlier you start the quicker you can start living and have peace of mind and no longer become a "Wasted Life" statistic.
"Wasted Lives"
Did you know that in the UK an individual dies unnecessarily from heart disease every three minutes? Are you or anyone you know a possible candidate for heart disease or any of the different modern scourges, like cancer, diabetes or Alzheimers ?
To get a real perspective on the scale of these "wasted lives", lets 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 published on the www. cancerresearchuk.org net site.
Cancer deaths in the USA in 2003 there were 556,902 deaths from cancer according to figures published by the National Centre for Health Statistics.
Heart disease deaths in the UK 70,000 deaths occur yearly 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 responsible for 1 million deaths in 2002 with the statistics for varied heart conditions showing 1 adult person in 4 suffer from some form of heart disease.
