Essential 5: Minimized Toxins

Minimizing your exposure to toxins means minimizing your use of drugs, other similar toxins and surgery.

In our current day and age, obtaining -- and maintaining -- your best overall health can be a challenge. Being able to avoid suffering from various diseases, as well as taking drugs to prevent them, does not mean that you are healthy.

As consumers, we are constantly bombarded with commercials and brochures that describe to us all of the wonders of modern medicine, but the real wonder is that consumers don't question what drugs they are willingly putting into their bodies. It is the goal of Maximized Living to help you acknowledge the constant invasion of toxic substances and poisonous build-up in your body. If you choose to ignore these toxins and continue to live blindly, it will be impossible to avoid the disease onslaught that this new millennium is providing - not preventing.

It is a popular concept in our society to think that poor nutrition, stress or lack of exercise are the only factors that interfere with your overall health and well-being, but did you know that your spine also plays a crucial part in health and your overall body function?

While the body can go days without water, weeks without food, and minutes without oxygen, it cannot last even one second without power. That power is your nerve supply. Your spine must function correctly so that it can send signals to every nerve in every cell and every organ in your body. This means that your spine is truly your lifeline. All real wellness is ultimately dependent on your spine and your nervous system's ability to provide maximum nerve supply.

Did you know that next to the stomach, the spine is the most regularly abused part of the body? The most common way to interfere with maximum nerve supply is for the spine to become damaged or to shift or rotate out of place. This interference is a major underlying cause of poor physical and emotional health or sub-par performance. Determining how well your spine is positioned and how well it is performing is a major factor in determining whether or not your body is producing either a state of health or a state of disease.

By minimizing your exposure to toxins, you are keeping your body free from the unknown risks that are associated with trying to cover up symptoms such as headaches, weight gain, nausea, and depression. American's today are developing more life threatening diseases than ever before. Heart disease, cancer, arthritis, autoimmune diseases, Parkinson's, and Alzheimer's victims are at an all time high. This, in correlation with the staggering numbers of children falling victim to Attention Deficit Disorders, Autism, and serious heart conditions are calling the nation’s attention to the possible causes for the spike in diagnosis and the lack of preventative treatment. Asthma, depression, acid reflux, thyroid failure, fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue have also begun to pop up mysteriously in ghastly numbers.

Your overall health - whether it is functioning or healing - is controlled by your nerve supply which is directly related to your spine.
