Meridian Lifefore Network

Phytochemicals

There is a new buzz word making waves in the health and wellness industry. Its name is phytochemicals. All the positive things they are saying about them are true. However, you can only get them from eating uncooked, properly grown fresh fruits and vegetables in the wholesome form.

Phytochemicals are very delicate living nutrients; they are usually so sensitive to heating and other processing techniques that they cannot be isolated and made into a vitamin pill form. Thus, beware of companies offering you a phytochemical pill, even if they were able to extract and isolate phytochemicals from plants. Once it is isolated, it is no longer wholesome, and so it becomes a drug that has side effects. All drugs stress the liver and kidneys.

Meridian Lifeforce Foods

Meridian Lifeforce foods refer to wholesome plant foods rich in antioxidants, phytochemicals, and polysaccharides, with these nutrients existing in their original bio-active, living form. Such plant foods must be selected, grown, harvested, and processed following the strict principles outlined by the Science of Nutritional Immunology, without losing precious nutrients or destroying their bio-activities.

Nutritional Immunology

Nutritional Immunology is a new science that studies how nutrition relates to the immune system. Nutritional Immunology studies which types of plant foods support the immune system, including which part of the plants should be used and how the plant should be grown, harvested, processed, and formulated in combination with other plant foods for the best effect!

The Real Reason We Are All So Sick

Why don't diet and weight loss programs work? Why are so many people sick today, at a time when we have the most advanced medical technology in the history of the world? Over the past 100 years, the technological advances we have made in science and medicine have been so numerous that it's hard to believe we haven't even yet found a cure for something as simple as the common cold. If fact, instead of getting healthier as a society, we are actually getting sicker! Cardiovascular diseases and other degenerative diseases like cancer, obesity, and diabetes are on the rise and increasing at an alarming rate. What is even more scary, is that these diseases are now attacking our children; cancer is now the number one killer among children age 1 to 14; and it's not just cancer that we have to worry about because the incidence of childhood diabetes and obesity are also spiralling out of control. All this isn't suppose to be happening; it just isn't normal, and yet many of us have become so desensitized or brainwashed into believing it's just a normal part of life that can't be helped. We all live in fear that one of our children or someone in our family is going to be next to get cancer! Yet another reality is that none of this has to happen; it really doesn't have to happen! So why are all these things happening? Is it because of the fact that our children are eating too much junk food and not getting enough exercise? This is part of the answer, but it only scratches the surface of the problem. There is a far greater problem that must be addressed before we can ever hope to fix our health problem. This is what the Meridian Lifeforce Network is about - we are offering our services as your guide in your journey to find answers. Are you ready to take part in an educational journey to discover and learn the real truth yourself? At the end of this journey of education and learning, you will understand why all these illnesses are happening, and also understand the means to prevent. One thing is for sure: you will no longer have to live your life in fear, and you will not always be worried about getting these terrible diseases!

Are Diseases Caused by Toxins?

You would think that today's technological advances in science and medicine are suppose to keep us healthier. Unfortunately, these technological advances have been, and continue to be, driven by business, industry, and greed! We are getting sicker simply because we are suppressing our immune system by polluting our bodies with chemicals and pesticides, and because we are producing food too rich in sugars, fats, and proteins. These foods are nutritionally deficient in vital disease-fighting nutrients such as phytochemicals, antioxidants, and polysaccharides. As you investigate further yourself, you are going to hear a lot more about these essential phytochemicals, antioxidants, and polysaccharides. Soon you will also understand, yourself, how it is societal greed for money and profit that has resulted in all these deadly consequences!

We live in a society fraught with pollutants and toxins — natural and synthetic. They exist in our air, water, food, clothing, and the environments in which we live, work, play, and sleep. Cigarettes, alcohol, and caffeine are also major sources of toxins. As a by-product of busy lifestyles and the increasing pollution in the environment, our bodies are encountering and storing unwanted toxins on a daily basis. Tissue acid wastes, chemicals, and heavy metal residues now build up in our body faster than ever before, resulting in a greater incidence of allergies, and mental and physical incapacitation. Pimples, rashes, dark circles under the eyes, swollen joints, yellow, green and blotched complexions often indicate a build-up of tissue acid wastes inside the body. Our bodies are depleted of crucial life-giving elements, leaving us feeling drained of energy or unable to heal naturally from illness, injury or medical procedures.

With the increase in the number of chemicals introduced in the last 50 years, there has been a dramatic increase in incidences of auto-immune diseases, allergies, and common infections. There is no coincidence in this increase. There are tens of thousands of chemicals in use today and more than a forth of these are known to be toxic; moreover, nothing is known about their interactive effects. Tests on body fat show residue of hundreds of chemicals. Metals, such as mercury, cadmium, and antimony are everywhere and impossible to avoid. Lead, for example, can block red blood cell formation. Chemicals can act as toxins and block receptor sites on cells, cause changes in calcium homeostasis, selectively kill cells, and alter expressions of gene products. Metals and chemical toxins weaken the immune system and cause increased vulnerability to viral, bacterial, fungal, and parasitic infections. In an attempt to detoxify these substances, our bowels, kidneys, liver, and immune system are being overloaded. Our eliminative channels have become blocked or dysfunctional because in conjunction with the synthetic chemical toxins in our environment, the western diet is too acidic and devitalized of necessary nutrients. To relieve the strains on our detoxifying organs, particularly the kidneys, liver, intestines, and immune system, it is more important than ever to maintain a detoxification regimen.

No Magic Pill or Drug to End All Illness!

Why are scientists having trouble finding drugs or vaccines to cure illnesses as simple as the common cold? The answer to this question is quite complex because it's not just about scientists not being able to find cures. Scientists are in fact continually developing new drugs and vaccines all the time; the complexity exists because the virus causing the cold has the ability to continually mutate and adapt to each new drug or vaccine created by scientists. Due to this ability of the virus to mutate, the problem of developing a vaccine or drug is not so simple even though the symptoms of the cold are simple. So the problem is not that scientists are not able to develop one drug or one vaccine; it is that they must continually develop many, many drugs and vaccines (one for each new strain) each time an existing disease-causing agent (viruses or bacteria) mutates. Scientists are just not able to keep up with the rate of mutation and change. This, of course, is a very big problem given that most illnesses and diseases are caused by living bacteria, viruses, and other parasites that are able to rapidly mutate and change. Every time a scientist finds a drug or vaccine to prevent and cure an illness, the parasitic agent causing the illness mutates into another form and changes. Furthermore, this mutation is usually so fast that it may be actually impossible for scientists to ever keep up the speed of continually developing each new vaccine or drug. As a consequence, there may never be a drug or vaccine cocktail develop that will protect us from all strains of a particular illness.

When considering the problem of developing vaccines and drugs for illnesses and diseases, one also has to take into consideration that not all illnesses and diseases are caused by bacteria, viruses, or living parasites; so what about the illnesses not caused by living agents? Most other health issues are caused by toxin accumulation in our organs and tissues. As discussed already, these very toxins are a direct by-product of the so-called great technological advances we have been talking about recently. The only cure for diseases and illnesses caused by toxins stored in the body is to stop taking in the toxins and to find a way to reduce or completely remove these toxins altogether. This is of course not an easy task given that the same toxins are in our water, the air we breathe, and the food we eat. Detoxification and cleansing options are discussed when you log on to our network. You will also be able to arrange a phone consultation with a natural health consultant.

The Immune System
A prevention & cure for 90% of all illnesses & diseases is already inside your body!

Isn't it ironic that all this time scientists have been looking for a magic drug to cure all diseases and illnesses when the "magic cure" has always been there already inside your body? Yes, there is a system already in our body that is designed to prevent and cure over 90% of all diseases and illnesses. This system is our immune system, and it is the best doctor in the world! The immune system was designed to not only remove toxins but also to repair, monitor, and defend our body from foreign disease-causing agents such as the bacteria and viruses that invade our bodies. The cells of the immune system are so incredible that they themselves are actually learning and changing, ensuring that they are ready and able to keep up with being able to fight the new variations and strains of bacteria and viruses as they continually evolve due to mutation or other factors.

Given that it is the job of the immune system to prevent and cure disease and illness, it is not surprising that most degenerative diseases are caused by immune dysfunction (failure of the immune system). If we know the cause of a disease, then we can prevent it from happening in the first place. And if we already have the disease or illness, curing it must involve reversing the factors that caused it. In addition to reversing the factors that caused an illness or disease, curing the disease or illness must also include repairing the damage already done to tissues and organs. Did you know that only the immune system can heal and repair? Drugs and vaccines only help to destroy the agents that are causing a disease and they don't repair the damage that has already been done - only the immune system can do this. Therefore it can be concluded that only the immune system can cure; since no drugs can heal and repair, and drugs are not cures. While drugs may have a role to play, the only cure we have for any illness or disease is to bring the immune system back to health. An effective drug and vaccine at best only supports the immune system by helping it to neutralize or battle an illness or disease-causing agent in the body. The actual curing can only be carried out by the immune system.

While drugs might have a role to play, there are unfortunately other problems associated with drugs; the first is that drugs all have side effects, and the second is that most drugs also suppress the immune system, either by knocking off the cells of the immune system and/or damaging its supporting organs such as the liver and kidneys. For example, chemotherapy drugs kill the immune system's NK cells (natural killer cells) and cause so much damage to the liver and kidneys that the treatment is, in fact, actually a gamble of trying to kill cancer cells faster than the immune system's cells. If the immune system is decimated (destroyed) too much by the treatment, there will be no system in the body to cleanse, monitor, defend, and repair the damage to the body's tissues and organs. Thus the patients don't usually die from cancer, they die from other complications such as that caused by a mild cold, or infection. So while drugs have a place in medicine, they are not the answer and thus must be used with caution.

This probably isn't the first time you have heard about how incredible the immune system is. But if it is so incredible, why is everyone so sick? How can so many people be sick when we have such an incredible system in our body? It is because of immune system dysfunction caused by toxin accumulation in our bodies and years of malnutrition, (not giving the immune system the proper nutrition it needed for years). We have already given you this answer earlier, and yet this question is still in everyone's mind, that's because the answer sounds "weak". If it's just malnutrition, shouldn't that be easy to fix? And why are there people still sick even though they are eating properly (organically grown fresh foods and vegetables on a daily basis)?

Yes, virtually all types of illnesses and diseases are caused by malnutrition! However, this type of malnutrition is not because we are not eating enough food; it is because we are not eating the proper food. Even if we tried very hard to eat the right foods, on average, over 90% of the disease fighting nutrients and immune system enhancers will be missing from the foods we eat (on a daily basis). If 90% seems rather high, please keep in mind that we are only talking about the disease fighting nutrients and immune system enhancers, and not the carbohydrates, sugars, fats, and proteins that gives foods most of its taste. The latter items provide energy and building material for your body, but do little for helping the immune system to fight illness or disease!

There are three main types of disease-fighting nutrients and immune system enhancers often missing from the foods we eat; phytochemicals, antioxidants, and polysaccharides. Given that these delicate, living, life-force nutrients are only present in plant foods in small quantities in the first place, and that they are easily destroyed by heat and other processing techniques, it should not be surprising that we are not getting enough of them. In addition, fruits and vegetables start losing vital nutrients immediately after they are harvested because these fruits are still living. As long as the cells of the fruits remain alive, the fruit must continually consume and use the vital nutrients stored within it in order to stay alive. As a result, not only must plants be grown in the proper soil and harvested at the right time, they must be processed and/or eaten immediately after harvesting to maximize these disease-fighting agents we can obtain from them. Even if you purchase organically grown fruits and vegetables, it can sometimes take days for the food to get to your table. By that time, it is possible that they no longer contain any of the disease-fighting nutrients, (phytochemicals, antioxidants, and polysaccharides). It is almost impossible to get all the required nutrients we need from the fresh fruits and vegetables sold in supermarkets today. So now you are probably also thinking about vitamins. Why don't we just compensate with vitamin supplements?

Many people take vitamin supplements on a daily basis thinking that they are getting their needed nutrition. Isolated nutrients often lose the overall benefit that the balanced nutrition of a whole plant can offer. To qualify as a healthy food, a plant or some portion of a plant must be used in its whole form. Our bodies need thousands of different types of nutrients, not just a few vitamins, like A, B, C, D, E, etc. Vitamin supplements appear to be a fast and efficient solution to make up for malnutrition, but new studies show that vitamins do not function independently - they are complex structures that work synergistically with other vitamins and nutrients found in the plants. Vitamins are present in all plant foods and are essential for good health; however, isolated vitamins are not healthy. What we are just now discovering is that isolated vitamins (nutrients in plants that are taken out and concentrated into pills) are not as beneficial as initially thought. In fact, vitamins that have been isolated away from the wholesome plant actually become toxic and will throw the body chemistry out of balance. Even if taking vitamin supplements was beneficial, would those few vitamins be enough to give our Immune System ample nutrition? Obviously not, because cancer and heart disease are still major causes of death and are still on the rise. Inside each type of plant, there are literally thousands of vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals that our bodies need. It is always best to eat wholesome foods and not isolated vitamins because there might be other nutrients inside plants that scientists have not discovered yet! We need the whole spectrum of nutrients from the plant, not just a few nutrients from it! Ask yourself, is my body so simple that just a few vitamin pills can keep you healthy? Obviously the answer is no, we need to get our nutrition from wholesome, organically grown plant foods!

Nutritional immunology is a new branch of science that studies the relationship between nutrition and the immune system. The pioneer of this new research science is Dr. Jau Fei Chen; after years of research, Dr. Jau Fei Chen has discovered the answer to the question of why we are all so sick today. She concluded that drugs are not the answer and that the best doctor in the world is our immune system.

There are eight vital healing steps to bring the immune system back to health. The first four steps focus mostly on nutrition according to the science of Nutrition Immunology. Recall: Nutritional Immunology is a science that studies how nutrition relates to the immune system.

Now let us look at the solution to our societal health problem:

If you are one of the many people who has heard all this before but didn't act, stop taking it lightly -- it is a very serious matter. We can't blame you for having doubt because after all, everywhere you look there are friends and neighbours dying from diseases like cancer and diabetes. If it was as simple as these vital eight steps, why are there so many people sick and dying? Even people who seem to be living a healthy lifestyle and eating all the right foods are not immune to cancer. How can someone who is living a healthy lifestyle, eating only organically grown vegetables and fruits still get these terrible diseases?

It's time to stop panicking and living in fear! Do your own research into the the incredible story about the immune system and you will find the answers. Let us be your guide in your journey to find these answers and have hope again.

Why do we need mentors and why do many health programs fail?

Surprisingly, the biggest reasons for the failure of many health restoration programs is not the program itself, but lack of motivation. Ironically, quitting always occurs just before the program was about to kick in and start producing results! These two factors, lack of motivation and quitting, can be attributed to either not seeing positive results right away, or experiencing an uncomfortable feeling / side-effect known as the healing reaction. In conclusion, what is essentially missing in most health restoration programs are personal trainers and coaches; someone you can turn to who can answer your questions, monitor your progress, and help you to understand what's happening to your mind and body. This is why the Meridian Lifeforce Network was created, because every program has its little secrets and pointers that need to be emphasized in order for people to get the most out of the product or service. With a personal trainer, consultant, or coach, you can better interpret and follow instructions because they will train you and share tips and their "secrets to success" with you.

GETTING STARTED: IT'S EASY AS ONE, TWO, THREE!

As we already discussed, the two reasons for the failure of many health restoration programs or products are: quitting, and not correctly interpreting/following instructions.

When people encounter hurdles while they are following a program, the instinct is to quit, especially if they haven't been seeing results. Given that the greatest human motivator is positive results, it is not surprising that without support and encouragement, many people will tend to develop doubt and quit just two steps short of seeing results.

We strongly suggest using one of our total wellness coaches or consultants to keep you motivated and guide you through trying times and moments of doubt. They can really help by answering your questions, monitoring your progress, and helping you understand what is happening to your body and mind as you detox and restore your health. Remember, interpreting and following instructions correctly can be everything; it is every bit as important as the product or the program itself! Remember: "every health restoration and fitness program has little secrets and tips that need to be emphasized in order for people to get the most out of the product or service". When following our vital healing steps program for the first time, your personal wellness coach (or consultant) will be useful and critical to your success. You need to be able to talk to someone who can help you understand what is happening to you every step of the way; this is motivation in itself.
