Reversal of Health Challenges and Health Procedures to Counter Agingby David W. Allan
My wife and I just got our results back from “Life Line Screening” tests. They tested for the risk of stroke, heart-attack, high blood pressure, peripheral arterial disease, and osteoporosis. I am very happy to report that all my test results came out “normal” in the “low risk” category – in other words, an A+. It is wonderful to have a high quality of life in my seventy-second year, and I believe the same is available to all. To that intent, I have written this report – in gratitude to the Lord for what I have received and wanting to share with others. The
intriguing thing is that I was not nearly as healthy some 20 years ago.
I have had several health challenges which have been in large measure
reversed. I Health
Challenges where I have seen REVERSALS: I
am convinced that the Lord designed our bodies for self-healing if we provide
them the right nutrition and treat them as a temple.
With the Lord’s help along with other kind, loving, and supportive
people (especially my wife) I have been able to see reversals, by implementing
those things learned, in the following 12
health degenerative problems that I have had:
In
the following link, I list several of the health-care professionals and their
books and reference materials which have significantly helped us (my wife and
me) along our healing path. http://www.allanstime.com/Health/ChinaStudy/ Arteriosclerosis:
This is the primary killing disease in Arrhythmia:
I got poisoned while serving as a missionary in Arthritis:
My wife had overcome an extremely serious case of arthritis. She was
bed-ridden with it and in incredible pain during the winter of ‘77-‘78.
Wheat-grass-juice helped her enormously in reversing this disease.
She used other herbs and foods as well. We learned in ‘95 that meat
and dairy products can contribute in a major way to arthritic challenges.
When we chose the vegan diet at that time, my arthritis went away in a
matter of months. Back
Injury: About 30 years ago, I injured my
lower back while moving a piano – apparently crushed some disks.
I never got medical help as it did not impede me that much.
Unfortunately, over the years, it got progressively worse until during
2002, if I lifted almost anything at all, the muscles in my back would go into
spasm – making it such at times that I could not walk (crawl to the
bathroom, for example), and the spasms were extremely painful.
I read Dr. Batmanghelidj’s
book on The Bodies Many Cries for Water, which everyone should read, who is
interested in optimum health. I
have a book report on this
also. In that book, Dr.
Batmanghelidj references another book that he had written on dealing
with back pain: How to Deal with Back Pain and Rheumatoid Joint Pain, This seems to
be one of the only books that teaches how to rebuild the disks in the back
naturally through being well hydrated, by proper nutrition, and through a good
systematic and regular set of back exercises.
I have enjoyed remarkable progress following these guidelines.
My story can be found at the following link in a personal letter to Dr.
Batmanghelidj. Circulation: Inadequate blood circulation can have many different causes and can lead to a host of health problems. Having plugged arteries, veins, and capillaries (arteriosclerosis) is the most common cause of poor circulation. This typically comes from a poor diet, which is the case for the average American. Thus atherosclerotic diseases have been the biggest killers of Americans. Reducing or eliminating meat and dairy products from the diet helps enormously to reverse this health challenge. However,
on the 27th of February 2004 I had a live blood analysis performed
by Marie Dahlen, one of Dr. Robert O. Young’s microscopists.
I learned that I had a different circulatory problem called Rouleau.
This is the clumping together of the red-blood cells, because they have
lost their zeta-potential or negative charge.
Healthy red-blood cells – carrying this charge – stay separated,
maximizing the critically-needed oxygen flow to all the extremities of the
body. This is a much more
common disease than most realize, and I had it even though we had been
following a vegan diet for eight years at that time.
It is often caused by the body being too acidic, which is typical for
most Americans with their meat and dairy centered diets.
In my case, it was too much sugar and yeast in my diet.
The spin off diseases from Rouleau are multitudinous – including
dementia. Rouleau coupled with
arteriosclerosis creates additional serious problems.
On the 29th of February 2004, I went on Dr. Young’s
supergreens (Innerlight program), and within weeks the Rouleau was totally
cleared up as was documented by another live-blood test conducted by our
daughter, Karie, who had become a microscopist – trained by Dr. Young.
I felt and looked so much better. I
lost 20 pounds around the middle, where I had wanted to lose it for years.
In addition, my mental clarity improved.
A significant side benefit that I did not anticipate is that my
eyesight improved. I can now read
again without glasses. Constipation
problems: This problem went away when I
became a vegan – got rid of the meat and dairy and started eating all the
wonderful foods that have adequate bulk to keep things moving through. Dementia: Dr. Dharma Singh Khalsa’s book Brain Longevity is an outstanding and pioneering work on both identifying the cause of dementia and providing curative as well as preventative measures – even preventative for Alzheimer’s. I have prepared an extensive report of his book. As
a result of following Dr. Khalsa’s suggestions – along with a diet that
moves the body out of acidity – I have enjoyed a significant measure of
renewal in my mental abilities. I
believe Dr. Khalsa’s guidelines are the most poignant to this end.
I have no direct evidence from my own experience, but in his book are
many case studies that align with this thinking. Eye-sight
degeneration, old high-school football knee injury, which was re-injured
playing racket ball, and which stopped me from being able to jog, and
overweight challenges: All
of these problems have been reversed as I have been using Dr. Young’s
supergreens and by following his suggested guidelines for moving the body to a
healthy alkaline state of being – toward life instead of toward death
(acid). His book, Sick
and Tired, is an excellent optimum health resource and very enlightening.
I have added over the last two years two ENIVA products to my daily
supergreen drink: Vibe and Eye Health. I
highly recommend them as well. They
also make it taste good! Specifically,
regarding eye-sight, I had to get
glasses in the mid 1990s in order to read.
Following Dr. Young’s program of moving the body to a more alkaline
state to get rid of the Rouleau, which happened within two weeks, I noticed
after a while that I could see better. Marie
Dahlen was able to reverse macular degeneration for her mother using Dr.
Young’s program – including bio-light, a special herbal product that
Innerlight sells. Dr. Lorraine Day
has an excellent CD called “Eye See” that tells how to reverse eye
diseases and what causes them. There
is a pioneering work of Dr. William H. Bates, The Bates Method for Better Eyesight without Glasses – a tested
method for improving vision by the doctor who originated and perfected it.
The book was published by his wife nine years after Dr. Bate’s
passing in 1940. It is now
available in paperback. Prostate
challenges: I have learned over the years
that the consumption of dairy products (milk, cheese, ice cream, yogurt, etc.)
has a very high correlation with the generation of enlarged prostates and
prostate cancer. I have seen a
significant reversal with my prostate problem by following a vegan diet and by
using Dr. Robert O. Young’s products, which moves the body’s pH positive.
Dr. Campbell has documented in his research that casein, which is 87%
of the protein in cow’s milk, is the most significant carcinogen on the
planet – a little known, but extremely important fact.
Dr. Campbell has shown that the extensive consumption of casein in the
American diet is the driving cause of prostate cancer and breast cancer –
the major killing cancers in men and women, respectively.
He has also shown that the consumption of a small amount of casein is
not harmful, but the American diet is way out of balance – being meat and
dairy centered. Epistaxis
(nosebleed): Before I went on a vegan
diet, I used to get nosebleeds fairly frequently and for no apparent reason.
From time to time, they would happen at very inconvenient times.
I was very happy that those went away, and it is my surmise that it is
do to the lowering of my blood pressure, which resulted from the plant-based
diet. Other
Useful Health Information: Exercise
Rebounder (mini-trampoline)
In a balanced exercise program, it is critical to have the lymphatic
system working properly. Vertical
motion and muscle movement are extremely useful toward enhancing good
lymphatic circulation. A rebounder
is very effective in this regard. We
cannot get rid of poisons without good lymphatic circulation and most suffer
from this problem. The lymphatic
system is as extensive as the cardiovascular system, as the body uses this
system to get rid of toxins, and is integral to our immunity system.
It is important to have a rebounder or something that gives you good
regular vertical motion and total muscle movement as part of your exercise
program. Vigorous walking or
jogging, for example, will accomplish the same effect.
Grape-fruit
Seed Extract (GSE), Nutribiotic.
This should be in everyone’s medical kit.
This saved us from malaria while serving a mission in Dr. Schulzes Echinacea Plus This, also, should be in everyone’s medical kit. It gives the immunity system a big boost when needed and is very effective in fighting infections and poisons in the body – with no side effects. Echinacea was the herbal remedy of choice before antibiotics were discovered. Wheatgrass
juice is called “the nectar of
rejuvenation, the plasma of youth, the blood of all life. The elements that are
missing in your body's cells - especially enzymes, vitamins, hormones, and
nucleic acids can be obtained through this daily green sunlight transfusion.”
It is often found in many super-green drinks.
Wheatgrass juice provides numerous benefits: boosting the immunity
system, cleansing the lymph system, building the blood, restoring balance in the
body. As a food, it has the ability
to move the body’s pH positive more than almost any other food.
It also helps to remove toxic metals from the cells, nourish the liver
and kidneys and restore vitality. Regarding
Sufficient Protein
People often ask vegans or vegetarians how they get enough protein.
Ironically, the American diet is at about 200% of protein need, and this excess
protein in their diets causes an acid condition leaching calcium from the bones.
This is the main cause for osteoporosis being epidemic in The
only deficiency in a well balanced vegan (no meat, no dairy) diet is vitamin B12,
and this ironically stems from soil-mineral depletion.
There are easy ways to supplement this deficiency.
I like to use a sublingual variety, that is a liquid placed under the
tongue with a dropper, called BTOTAL.
It tastes good and is easy to use.
Regular Exercise is essential to good health and in helping to eliminate toxins. Wayne Pickering said in 1982, “If you don’t find time for exercise now, you will have to find time for illness later!” In
the summer, my wife and I garden, walk, and I enjoy biking (both road and
mountain). I will be 72 next month,
and I doubt there is anyone at any age in our little town of Fountain Green who
could follow me on the mountain bike trails that I take as I traverse my
“short-cut” across the deer trails – as I joke to my wife – on my way
back from picking up the mail at the post each day.
In the winter we love to snowshoe and I very much enjoy cross-country
skiing. In addition, I have a
regular exercise program that takes about a half hour and integrates Dr.
Batmanghelidj’s exercises for my back, Dr. Weil’s deep breathing exercises
for a healthy respiratory system, rebounder exercises for a healthy lymphatic
system, and several others for general all muscle maintenance.
I typically do this while listening to the scriptures in French –
giving me a triple benefit (spiritual, mental, and physical exercise). Ninety-nine
percent of the people in America
die of disease. The 1 %, who die of
old age, typically have a high quality of life up to their pleasant passing. I
am incredibly grateful to the Lord that he has designed our bodies thus – that
properly nourished and properly treated they are self healing.
The really good news is that Dr. Campbell has shown that a whole-food
plant-based diet is not only curative but also preventative of almost all
diseases. I have learned wonderful
new tastes of a large variety of delightful foods since going this direction,
that I never new existed before. If
everyone were to follow the above procedures and guidelines, can you imagine how
this would change our country? We
would put the pharmaceutical industry out of business as well as most doctors.
Naturopathic doctors would become very popular and most helpful.
Nursing homes for the aged would not be needed.
Productivity and creativity would dramatically increase.
Perhaps most importantly, we could and would become a people filled with
gratitude to our Maker for His countless blessings; in that attitude of
gratitude we would love and care for one another.
Has the good Lord given us a way to find a near utopia and we are
ignoring it? If
one asks, “Why this information is not better known?”
The Lord answers, “In consequence of evils and designs which do and
will exist in the hearts of conspiring men in the last days...” He gave us the
Word of Wisdom (Doctrine and Covenants 89:), which to me is pure gold for
optimum health and general living. If
anyone wants evidence that Joseph Smith, Jr. is a prophet of God, this
revelation given in 1833, and thought then to be contrary to good health, has
been validated by Doctors Batmanghelidj,
Campbell, Khalsa, Klapper, Young, and many others. I
am also grateful to all those people from whom I have learned important truths
on how to live the abundant life. C.
S. Lewis said, “Joy is the serious business of heaven.”
I believe that and that by following God’s laws, loving Him and our
neighbors, we can have the greatest happiness in this life and a fullness of joy
in the life to come – with our loved ones.
“Look to God and live.”
