Once we understand the incredible self-regulating and self-healing capacity with which all of us were born, and realize that we have unwittingly been sabotaging our health by making decisions based upon misinformation, we are in the position of choosing health - for the rest of our lives! All we have to do is to consistently follow the Four Astonishingly Simple Steps. These Steps work because, perhaps for the first time in a long time, we will be providing the body with all the nutrients it needs to maintain vibrant health and we will be minimizing its exposure to the toxins which make it sick and result in premature aging. Just follow the Simple Steps and God will do the rest.

STEP ONE: MAKE WATER YOUR BEVERAGE OF CHOICE
Water is a principal component of health and we should endeavor to drink at least 8 glasses of “fresh” water a day. Any type of water as long as it is not tap water will work – preferably consumed throughout the day.

STEP TWO: EAT REAL FOOD
Today it’s almost astonishing that few of us really are aware of what constitutes Real Food. Real Food is food exactly as God put it on the earth. For example, an apple…..particularly an organic apple is Real Food, store bought applesauce is not Real Food; and store bought apple juice, which is even more processed, actually has a negative nutritional value. Therefore, as we see, Real Food is live, whole, preferably organic and minimally processed food. Realistically speaking, given the fast paced nature of the modern world, and recognizing that we are human beings and not saints, the goal of this second step is to include 50% Real Food in your diet. With respect to the other half of the food we eat, we want to minimize our intake of proteins, particularly animal proteins; we want to avoid dairy products of all kinds, especially non organic dairy products; bad fats such as shortenings, lards, margarines, saturated fats and hydrogenated fats; and lastly, we want to minimize simple carbohydrates such as white sugar, white rice and white flour. An optimum diet contains approximately 40% live, whole, unprocessed vegetables, 20% whole grains, 15% fruit, 15% of good fats (including the two Essential Fats found in flax seed), and no more than 10% proteins.

STEP THREE: TAKE APPROPRIATE SUPPLEMENTS
While theoretically, a person could obtain close to the optimal amount of the wide range of nutrients and substances the body requires for vibrant health from food, it would be expensive, time consuming and very difficult to do so. Thus, getting healthy quickly, inexpensively and effectively can be enhanced by including high grade, organic, hypoallergenic supplements in our daily health program. Persons in pursuit of vibrant health should definitely start with one of the three Foundation Paks which have been specially selected because these products provide the basic building blocks which all human beings need to be healthy. In addition to the basic nutrients provided by the Foundation Paks, one could choose, given their commitment to health and to their budget, additional supplements to address particular issues (see product categories) and to accelerate one’s return to vibrant health.

STEP FOUR: MOVE
The last of the FOUR ASTONISHINGLY SIMPLE STEPS is the basic concept of movement. There are three components to this step:

·         Physical Movement:
In the first few weeks or month or so of the adoption of the FOUR ASTONISHINGLY SIMPLE STEPS you will be detoxifying rapidly and will find yourself to be a little fatigued or tired as your body goes through that detoxification process. However, generally after two, three or four weeks, you will find yourself totally energized with a renewed vigor for life and will be called upon to exercise whether you like it or not. So, be patient with yourself, taking it one step at a time knowing that as you detoxify and your body starts to return to balance, you will know when it’s time to include a simple 30 minutes every other day or so of moderate aerobic exercise.

·       Removal of Toxins:
Secondly, the concept of movement refers to moving all toxins out of your house and workplace and replacing them with “green products” which do not contain harsh chemicals or petrochemical derivatives. Do not underestimate the significance of unnecessary exposure to these toxins - especially over the long run.

·        Spiritual Movement:
Thirdly, the concept of movement involves the transformation from the focus of intention from our head to our heart – the longest journey we will ever take. Life is not an intellectual undertaking, but a spiritual adventure and as we get healthy we will find our understanding of the universe and our role in it to change dramatically and instead of days of drudgery and toil our life will be filled with passion and joy automatically and without any effort on our part. It is part of the reward for reassuming responsibility for the quality of our life.
