CHOOSE NUTRITION
to End Your Challenges By Meredith Deasley The theme, challenge and change, in this issue of Women with Vision is also pertinent to nutrition, in that we often won’t take on healthier living until our physical challenges are great enough to warrant change. It’s as simple as this. If we think that the pain of changing is greater than the pain of staying the same, we simply won’t change. For many of us, it is only when our symptoms or conditions become so cumbersome for us that we decide to try something new. It was my daughter being in dire pain with constipation, for the better part of 6 months that made me decide it was time for change. Would I have headed in the direction of nutrition had she not been so sick? Probably not. What health challenges can nutrition help overcome? Any health challenge can be helped, if not eliminated by nutrition.

In babies, colic, diaper rashes, reflux, poor sleeping, and fussiness are only some of the examples of symptoms that can be helped by nutrition. In children, frequent colds and infections, poor concentration, asthma, ADD, Autism, weight and behavioural challenges are only some of the symptoms and conditions that can be helped by nutrition. Let me share an example with you. The biggest reason for colic is that baby is not digesting cow’s milk or other dairy products properly, whether that be the formula he or she is consuming or the dairy that mother is consuming. And what does a baby need in order to digest all foods better? Good bacteria, also known as probiotics or acidophilus. And you might ask, “Isn’t dairy good nutrition?” and my response would be “It’s not the dairy products that are the problem. It is what man does to them that causes so many reactions in people, coupled with the fact that we generally don’t have enough good bacteria in our bodies these days. The pasteurization of dairy products kills 22 digestive enzymes that humans need to digest cow’s milk properly. Because of the pasteurization, dairy causes inflammation in the body, excess mucus production and poor absorption of calcium. Better absorbed sources of calcium are nuts and seeds, eggs, salmon, and green vegetables. One definition of colic is ‘unexplained crying.’ You now have an explanation. It comes down to nutrition. And you could say the same about the majority of symptoms and illness in the world today. We live in a very different world from our ancestors. Prior to the Second World War, there was no need for organic food because of the care taken with the soil and the purity that was maintained with the fruits and vegetables being grown in that soil. In fact, fruits and vegetables were organic without being labelled as such. Today, we need to earn our health. It’s not just given to us anymore. When is the pain of change for you or your child going to be less than the pain of remaining the same? ■ Meredith Deasley, Author: The Resourceful Mother Secrets to Healthy Kids www.theresourcefulmother.com

HELPING THE BODY
heal itself “When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.”
This quote from the fictional detective Sherlock Holmes has been used countless times as motivation for digging deeper to solve a mystery. How to help people recover from illness is one mystery that has eluded many medical detectives over the years. Throughout the 20th century, some medical detectives have been discovering clues that one visionary, Johan Boswinkel has used to solve the mystery of the root cause of illness and to create a system for helping the body heal itself. This system is Biophoton Therapy. Biophoton Therapy works on the principle that cells emit low levels of light. First postulated in 1933, it was finally proven in 1977 by German physicist Albert Fitz Popp, that cells do in fact emit low levels of light. Popp called the light, biophotons. This light is part of the communication system of living cells and controls what happens at a biochemical level. When cells are healthy, they emit coherent or focused light. Unhealthy cells emit chaotic light. Chaotic light means messages aren’t passing correctly between cells, disrupting biochemical reactions. This leads to illness. Johan Boswinkel used Popp’s research, combined with knowledge of electro –acupuncture and Chinese medicine to develop an instrument that measures how the light is moving through the body. This instrument can measure and report blockages which are preventing the correct flow of light between cells. Furthermore, Boswinkel proved that if you can measure disruptions you can also repair them. Using the measuring instrument in treatment mode, blockages that are preventing normal, coherent flow of light between cells can be cleared. When normal function of this cellular communication system is restored, biochemical processes in the cells returns to normal, and the body can begin to heal itself. This noninvasive process of assisting the body in healing itself excited Paul McDonald who had been searching for treatment for his father’s cancer. He trained with Boswinkel, in the Netherlands, purchased one of his devices and began treating clients in 1992. As people recovered from chronic or long-term illnesses, they spread the word to friends and family. Soon McDonald had more clients than he could handle.
McDonald realized that there was a great need in Canada, for more people trained in using biophoton therapy. To meet this need he created The Academy of Applied Biophoton Sciences , a training center for passing on his knowledge. Training for using the Biophoton measuring unit is relatively simple and within six months students can be ready to start a practice or add on to an existing one. However, it can take years to master all the biophoton treatment nuances. “The therapists who are successful have a desire to get to the bottom of the mystery of what’s wrong with this person,” says McDonald. “It’s a puzzle.We don’t treat a symptom or an ailment, we treat the whole person, we look for the cause.” Understanding what a disruption at one acupuncture point means is part of the challenge of being a Biophoton Therapist. But it’s also part of the excitement. As a healer, you’re not just a technician, but a detective, and when you solve the mystery you give the client health.
