We Have Lost the Feeling of Being Normal

 

“Isn’t that the sort of results we all wish for: to achieve a full life remaining healthy while building the health of our children from their infancy?”

 

In the ‘80s kids were kids: they played outdoors, riding their bikes, playing road hockey, baseball or basketball; skipping ropes were also very popular as well as hula hoops, playing hide and seek or hop-scotch—my, it sure seems magical when looking back. Before that, when I was young, we used to play in the local park or on the street, we would come home for lunch sometimes…we did not want to miss the fun. When the dusk started to settle, you began hearing parents shouting their child’s name. Back then I did not want the fun to end but I will tell you what, I would give anything to once again hear my mother call out my name, “Eldon, it is time for supper,” they would be the sweetest words falling on my ear.

Today our kids could not run and play for the entire day, almost every third child has a chronic disease. According to an article in Academic Pediatrics, “[t]he prevalence of children (5-17 years) with a CC/FL [chronic condition and functional limitation] has risen from 22.57% in 1999/2000 to 30.21% in 2017/8 – an adjusted annual increase of 0.24 percentage points per year (p<.0001) or about 130,000 additional children per year. The prevalence of young adults (18-25 years) with a CC/FL has risen similarly (adjusted annual increase of 0.33 percentage points per year, p<.0001). Asthma and mental/behavioral health conditions were some of the leading CC and FL (respectively) contributors to this increase for both age groups. We estimate that approximately 1.2 million youth with a CC or FL currently turn 18 each year.”[1] Canada is no different, the only differences is dividing the statistics by 10.

When I was in school, I never seen a child carry an atomizer but today, seeing the statistics, it is not surprising at all. In 2019, there were approximately 22 million new cases of childhood asthma, 12,900 deaths, and 5.1 million disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) attributed to the disease. “A high body mass index (BMI) was a stronger risk factor than occupational asthmagens for childhood asthma.”[2]

And it is not just asthma. In elementary school I can remember only a few children that were obese, they mainly had sickness. Today “[i]n Canada, almost two in three adults and one in three children and youth are overweight or living with obesity.”[3] Or there is another data showing that “[m]ore than 30% of people worldwide have metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD; formerly non-alcoholic fatty liver disease), including 65% of those with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and 75% of those with obesity.”[4] How did we get here?

Surely, the body does everything it can to reduce the damage. A study published in European Journal of Endocrinology[5] found that thyroid hormone balance plays an important role in reducing liver fat. Researchers looked at adults aged 50 to 80 and found that higher levels of the thyroid hormone T3, and a higher T3/T4 ratio, were linked to increased liver fat. However, when participants followed a healthy diet for a year, their liver fat decreased—especially in those who maintained higher T3 levels. This suggests that T3 may help the body manage liver fat, particularly in the early stages of fatty liver disease.

Unfortunately, the consequences of certain lifestyle decisions affect multiple areas of our body no matter how hard it tries to fight them off. Research on gut bacteria shows that imbalances in the intestinal microbiome—marked by an increase in harmful bacteria and a loss of beneficial ones (mainly due to diet prioritizing processed foods and unhealthy fats)—can trigger inflammation, compromise the gut barrier, and contribute to the development and progression of colorectal cancer.[6] Another study on junk food binges found that just five days of consuming high-calorie, ultra-processed foods can disrupt brain insulin responsiveness and increase liver fat, leading to altered reward processing that mimics patterns seen in obesity. “Researchers postulated that brain insulin responsiveness may adapt to dietary changes before weight gain, potentially facilitating the development of obesity.”[7]

You see, it is not one disease, it is the breakdown of the body, it cannot function the way it should, and the damage starts way before one is able to make decisions about their lifestyle choices. Poor little kids are not given a chance, the first day of life they are given a Hepatitis B (HepB) vaccine. Of course, we all agree the first day of life is filled with sexual transmittable diseases. No? Then why then would they give this to an infant, especially after the mother’s blood is tested and is free from any sexual transmittable diseases? And then after 60 days the parents are tracked and pressured into taking three more vaccines, hidden in one shot: diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis (DTaP). It is unfortunate that the tetanus shot does not stop these wolves in sheep’s clothing from howling when each new jab is available. What would be more helpful when it comes to children is to pay attention to a healthy diet and lifestyle, since they are developing their immunity and their bodies are being built from what they consume and not what they are injected with. Isn’t that the sort of results we all wish for: to achieve a full life while remaining healthy and building the health of our children from their infancy so that they outlive us and not that we outlive them?

With obesity increasing the risk of chronic diseases like diabetes, heart disease, and cancer, prioritizing a healthy lifestyle is essential. Small daily changes, such as moving more, reducing sedentary time, and improving sleep, can have a big impact on our overall well-being. Healthy eating is also key, but making good food choices can be challenging, but so worth it. Creating a supportive environment—at home, school, or in the community—can make it easier to maintain a balanced diet and active lifestyle. By adopting healthier habits and staying mindful of movement, nutrition, quality hydration, limited cell phone use and adequate rest, we can take steps towards achieving improved physical and mental health.

Detox and rebuilding are also key at the beginning of the healing journey. CLAW and Opti-Cal/Mag plus high dose Vitamin C could be a great start. Next Generation Super Multi-Vitamin, at least 4 to 6 per day, should cover most of the basics needs. The immunity needs to be rebuilt and that could be done with Thymus Gland and L-Glycine (9 per day from each), and fortified Boron (2×2 per day). For resetting the gut microbiome, we recommend Laktokhan and Full Spectrum Digestive Enzyme. It will take at least 6 months to begin reversing the years of damage that have been done, but you should start seeing positive changes within the first 30 days.

In the midst of global disease, and for remaining healthy, the responsibility rests within our own two hands, and it all comes down to making the right choices: the awareness and avoidance of environmental toxins, the food we eat, the water we drink, and the medicines we put into our bodies; remembering that what is absorbed to the cells (and not the gut) matters. All disease conditions can be treated using professional (natural) therapeutic medicine. In fact, it is our only alternative to synthetic chemical based allopathic prescription drugs with their host of side effects and freeing ourselves from being wards of the state.
