ABC plus D stands for Activate, Build, Cleanse and Direct aid.
The A stands for Activate. The human body has an amazing intrinsic ability to
repair itself, if it has enough energy and raw materials. This may not be possible
after years of stress, neglect, eating too many processed foods, taking too many
medications or by not eating foods compatible with your blood type. The body's
ability to repair itself may diminish. In order to energize the body and stimulate its
healing abilities, homeopathic formulations, essential oils used in aromatherapy,
and enzymes may be used.
Visualize how you want to feel, make positive affirmations and then write them
down. This will also help to activate the healing process.
Any nutritional program will yield better results if one of these energy
supplements is included.
Enzymes from plants are an excellent way to begin energizing your body.
Enzymes are used in all chemical reactions in the body, from food digestion to
cellular metabolism. The cooking and processing of foods destroys enzymes,
thus a diet consisting mostly of cooked and processed food will be deficient in
enzymes. This type of diet will then put more stress on the body, depleting it of
resources needed for other things. Thus some raw or hardly cooked plant foods
should be eaten every day. Alfalfa and broccoli sprouts are examples of two
foods that are high in enzymes.
Plant enzymes can also be obtained as a dietary supplement in Garden Essence
Plant Enzymes. This product contains many different enzymes from plant
sources in a blend of five digestion enhancing herbs. One or two capsules should
be taken before each meal.
The B stands for Build. For Garden Essence Plant Enzymes to be effective in
repairing the body, they need something to act on. To put it another way; the
enzymes are the brick layers, but a brick layer can do little if he or she does not
have bricks and mortar to work with. With the B of the ABC plus D approach
we supply the bricks and mortar.
The processing of today’s foods has resulted in foods that are deficient in
vitamins and phytonutrients. Modern farming practices have resulted in soils
depleted of minerals and thus foods deficient in minerals. In order to obtain all
the vitamins and minerals necessary for optimal health, everyone should include
a high-quality natural multi-vitamin and trace mineral supplement in their diet.
Super Vitamins & Minerals multi-vitamins and minerals along with Essential
Liquid Minerals will insure that you get all of the trace minerals that your body
requires.
It is not possible to get all the nutrition we need for optimal health from the
foods that we eat without nutritional supplementation. While it is possible today
to get enough nutrition from our foods to prevent vitamin deficiency disease,
which was what the "Recommended Daily Allowances" were based on, this falls
far short of what nutritional science has discovered to be necessary for optimal
health. Today's overworked soils have been depleted of many trace minerals that
the body needs, and food processing has been remarkably successful at removing
any nutrition remaining in our foods. Add to this the additional requirements
brought about by stressful living conditions in a polluted environment, and the
fact that we often make poor choices when it comes to our health, and you have
a formula for disaster. That is why everyone, without exception, needs to be on a
nutritional program to provide not only vitamins, but even more importantly, the
essential trace minerals, enzymes, and fiber that we are missing.
The C stands for Cleanse. Cleansing enables the body to eliminate waste
properly before toxins build up in the tissues and blood. Toxin build up depletes
the body's energy systems. Proper elimination removes toxins and thereby
conserves the body's healing energy making more energy available for healing
and repair.
Modern food processing removes much of the fibre from food and often foods
are consumed that contain no fibre at all, such as meat and dairy products. This
results in slow movement of food through the intestines, thereby promoting the
build up of waste and toxins in the bowel, liver and blood. A periodic cleans will
help clean the bowel.
People who are thin, pale, sick or in a weakened condition should begin with a
build first and then a cleanse after. Pregnant and lactating women should also not
do a cleanse. Everyone else can and should do a cleans twice a year – in the
Spring and Fall.
Nature's Sunshine has developed 3 different cleanse programs for people to
choose from:
- CleanStart-Citrus - It is a mild two-week cleansing program with a mild, yet
complete, herbal combination.
- Tiao He Pak - A 10-day herbal cleansing program that gradually restores
the functions of the weakened organs to insure they perform to their full
capacity.
- Bod-E-Klenz - A 30-day cleansing program so your body is better able to
absorb nutrients.
The D stands for Direct Aid. Most people have one or more body systems that
are weaker than the others and could benefit from direct nutritional support. For
example, stress or insomnia could mean that your nervous system is in need of
direct aid. High blood pressure or circulation problems could signify that the
circulatory system may need the most help. Sometimes we can even be symptom-
free and still have a body system that is in need of support. This demonstrates
that the body is most likely compensating for the weakness, but it is just a matter
of time before symptoms appear. In these cases the nutritional support is
designed to build the weakened body system before a major problem occurs.
This is what prevention is all about.
The Health Analysis Questionnaire can help determine which body systems(s)
needs support. Clicking on the name of each system will open a page with a few
recommended products for that system. The links below lead to the full list of
products for each system and a Fact Sheet for almost every product. The Fact
Sheet describes each product, its ingredients and some of the benefits of the
product.
If more than one system needs support, it is best to start with the weakest one.
Since systems depend upon each other, it is possible that supplementing one will
help the others. After working on one system the questionnaire can be done again
to determine what progress has been made.
