Mark Attwood interviews Ian Clark - how much do we value our health?
How much does Big Pharma value our health - less than we do, or more? Or perhaps what they really value is our sickness ...? Which option would reward them better?
So whom should we favour with our trust - ourselves, or the medico-politico industry?
And why do we not consider our health until our body smacks us across the face with a serious problem? That happened to me around the turn of the century, and it became clear that if I continued to rely on the NHS for a problem for which they clearly had no answer, then I was just being stupid. So I would have to work something out for myself.
So I did. And it's fair to say that I never looked back. But I was lucky - my problem didn't involve an early death, even given the NHS's ineffectual management. Whilst I was smacked gently, many are not so lucky ...
I learned that health is not about applying different protocols for different symptoms, it's about establishing eating and living habits that support a healthy environment within the body. If we liken the body to a fish-tank, are the fish healthier in clean water or dirty?
It's not a quick fix, it's a journey (where have we heard that before?), and it's the direction of travel that's important. But just changing my diet effected a huge improvement!
And the one critical principle that we should learn first is that the body-tank needs to be slightly alkaline - if it becomes acidic then we're opening the flood-gates to all manner of ill-health. So as a first step, close the flood-gates by eating to support alkalinity!
I'm still learning ... and I suspect that we should all be still learning.
