Your Quality of Life

Your quality of life - a term used to describe “liveability” or “life-satisfaction” was once a term which people used to express the degree of contentment, enjoyment, gladness, peace of mind or well-being they felt in their lives. The opposites of these qualities: depression, gloom, misery, pain, sadness, sorrow, unhappiness, woe were terms which weren't much used except in moments of misfortune, now they are a consistent feature of the mainstream media.

Even the term “Quality of Life” has now been hijacked by politicians and academics which has resulted in the subject of our quality of life disappearing from public awareness. For us, how joyous we feel to be waking up each morning is one of the major factors in most people's quality of life and as good a measure as any.

Interestingy The Australian Centre on Quality of Life has not published anything since 2007 - perhaps it is no longer an issue in the “Lucky Country”.

The point we're making is that your quality of life is being taken from you and a lot of people are unaware it is disappearing - if you are interested in your enjoyment of life - that gift which “surpasses all understanding”, you need to take personal responsibility for maintaining, sustaining and improving it see the list of articles.

At the same time, the nutritive value of our foods is being steadily eroded through increasing introduction of toxic additives, plant hybridisation, genetic modification, woeful agri-business land-use policies and other scientific "advances" such as nanotechnology. The level of vitamins and minerals in fruit and vegetables has decreased since the middle of the twentieth century until today where, in Britain, a study has shown that:

"Over the past 60 years the levels of iron, magnesium and other minerals important for the body’s biochemical balance have declined by between a quarter and three-quarters in fruit and vegetables. The proportion of sugar has doubled in fruit such as apples and pears over the same period."The Sunday Times, February 08, 2004 (this page has disappeared but you can see a copy here)

“Food additives in use today can be divided roughly into three main types: cosmetics, preservatives and processing aids, totaling presently about 3,794 different additives, of which over 3,640 are used purely as cosmetics, 63 as preservatives and 91 as processing aids. The growth in the use of food additives has increased enormously in the past 30 years, totaling now over 200,000 tonnes per year. Therefore it has been estimated that as today about 75% of the Western diet is made up of various processed foods, each person is now consuming an average over 4kgs of food additives per year, with some possibly eating considerably more. ”    Reference: foresight-preconception.org.uk (this page has disappeared)

Meanwhile conventional health care services around the world are finding it increasingly difficult to cope - in the United States

"in February 1992, the consumer research body Social Audit reported, on the basis of four studies between 1981 and 1988, that more than 10,000 hospital beds are taken up at any one time by people suffering adverse reactions (ADR) to prescription drugs.""“Nil by Mouth” , The Observer Magazine, February 29, 2004

1. Reduce the load on your body's defenses from internal sources: detox - reducing your internal toxic load gives your body the chance to focus more of its attention on dealing with external toxic sources. Colonic irrigation is, in our opinion, one of the best treatments to lighten your toxic load.
