                                   Ease and Dis-Ease

Sometimes you find advice on health issues and you don't need a
dictionary of scientific terms to understand it.  It just all makes sense
on its own.  The hard part is making a routine of what you need to do.  
Even when it makes plain sense, the things that are good for us are
often replaced by the things that hurt us.

When I read the little piece below on Ease and Dis-Ease,, it was like I
had heard it a million times before, and probably had in one form or
another.  It just makes sense.  Good, simple sense.  Leave it to Mankind
to try to complicate things.  I hope you enjoy it as much as I did, and
remember to do some, if not all, of it.  With the  permission of the
author, Elliot Yudenfriend, I have reprinted the piece.

Elliot is a contributing member of the cancercured board of
cancercured@yahoo.com and is the owner/moderator of the
Never Do Harm To Anyone board:

 Anyone who has cancer or knows of a loved one with the "Dis-Ease", and
wants to be educated on the subject might want to visit these
interesting and provoking sites.  

Elliot was diagnosed in 1989 with low-grade lymphoma  The normal life
expectancy for someone following treatment is on average between 8-10
years.  Elliot attributes his 18 years of being cancer free,(and expects
to live the rest of his life cancer free), to alternative practices and to
doing the "Easeful Thing".

I appreciate the spiritual, (philosophical), intonations that Elliot
ascribes to in maintaining and in regaining ones health.  Thanks Elliot,
for keeping it simple and reminding us there is a higher order.
Saludos, Rick

                     Ease and  Dis-Ease
                         By Elliot Yudenfriend

One of the reasons people get diagnosed with serious degenerative dis-
eases is because they do not recognize that when they are violating
various normal, healthful ways of eating, living and behaving, they
are ALREADY suffering from "dis-ease," which means, simply, "a lack
of ease."

As you see, I spell the word "disease" this way: "dis-ease," and I
pronounce it NOT the way mainstreamers do, as in "duh-zeeze," which
means nothing, but rather, "diss-eeze," which, as I have said,
means "a lack of ease."

Here is a list of easeful and dis-eased behaviors:

Ease = regularly having lights out by or before 10:00 PM each night,
and getting a good night's rest of an average of 8 hours, unless you
are one of those rare people who can get by with 7 or less.
Dis-ease = regularly staying up late and regularly getting less than
8 hours sleep per night

Ease = drinking AT LEAST 8 8-ounce glasses of pure water daily, and
far more preferably 1/2 ounce of pure water per pound of body weight
daily
Dis-ease = drinking less than 8 8-ounce glasses of pure water daily,
and substituting for the water "soft-drinks, " coffee and milk,
especially pasteurized, homogenized milk. Also, much available tap
water = dis-ease

Ease = eating WHOLE, preferably organic, vegetables, fruits, nuts,
seeds and grains, as well as healthful oils. Ease also = eating
plenty of raw foods
Dis-ease = eating processed, refined foods and unhealthful oils

Ease = eating enough high bulk, low calorie whole foods that one has
as many bowel movements a day as meals one eats. ("Two trains in, two
trains out. Three trains in, three trains out.") Ease also = not
having to strain when one has a bowel movement. Picture a horse---it
just cocks its tail and out it comes, natural as rain.
Dis-ease = constipation and straining to have a bowel movement

Ease = getting sufficient fresh air and sunshine daily
Dis-ease = spending long hours indoors and very little time outside
Ease = slow, deep, belly breathing
Dis-ease = shallow, quick breathing from one's upper chest

Ease = regular, daily, moderate exercise at least 5 days a week
Dis-ease = lack of regular, moderate exercise

Ease = lack of emotional conflict, being able to forgive wrongs,
taking plenty of opportunity to laugh, at oneself and at life in
general
Dis-ease = emotional strife, lack of forgiveness, taking oneself and
life too seriously

Ease = getting into one's system any macro or micro-nutrients
commonly known to be lacking in many people, such as selenium,
magnesium, etc.
Dis-ease = being deficient in selenium, magnesium, etc.

It appears to be a solid FACT that if a person is able to put him or
herself in the EASE category for the above list that his/her chances
of being diagnosed with a major degenerative dis-ease will be
significantly lessened.

Blessings and best wishes,

Elliot
