Ride On! Read On!
In my 25 years at this, I have been asked the same question by hundreds
of Health Seekers who found Natural Hygiene, stuck with it long enough
and tightly enough to save their lives and/or to reap many big benefits,
and who just could not understand why Natural Hygiene never took off!
The answer was always too long and too complex to give an answer
in phone conversations or letters or even in person.
But I do answer that question in our new book to come out in 2012:
WHAT DOCTOR SHELTON DIDN'T KNOW!
And here is most of that answer for you today!
If I have left anything out, sure would like to know!
The Single Question Most Asked
by Health Seekers Who Have
Most Benefited by
& Are Most Appreciative of Natural Hygiene:
"Why Didn't
Natural Hygiene Ever Go Big?"
-- otherwise asked as --
"Why Didn't
Natural
Hygiene Ever Take Off?"
1. A Health Seeker
cannot succeed in doing Natural Hygiene without being willing to get well
educated by investing some time and a chunk of change in educational materials
that present the beauty of practicing The 10 Energy Enhancers and then further
studying them... while John and Jane Average-American Doe just eat, drink, and
be merry with no thought of tomorrow.
2. A Health Seeker
cannot succeed in doing Natural Hygiene without having re-arranged his or her
value system radically according to all 10 of The Energy Enhancers... while
John and Jane Average-American Doe just go with the mainstream flow.
3. A Health Seeker
cannot succeed in doing Natural Hygiene without having been highly inspired and
motivated and then by making a commitment to practicing The 10 Energy Enhancers
and then by being willing to bite the bullet and/or to make it fun to stay on track with on-going self-correction... while John and
Jane Average-American Doe just do what Corporate America advertisements and
media messages tell them to do.
4. Health Seekers
cannot succeed in doing Natural Hygiene if, when they do fall off the track, they allow themselves to become demoralized and
give it
all up, when they do not self-correct, when they do not strengthen resolve
more than
ever when they are "only human"... while John and while Jane Average-American Doe just row, row,
row their boats gently down the mainstream, merrily living The American
Dream.
5. A Health Seeker
most often cannot succeed in achieving Natural Hygiene health goals without
having a support system of sorts, be that first-hand and like-minded friends,
educational materials, and/or Internet interaction with like-minded
people/websites/newsletters... while John and Jane Average-American Doe have
the best, ready-made support system in the world for their ill-health goals =
the omnipresent advertisements funded by The Disease Industrialists and all the
others also merrily rowing their boats down the mainstream.
6. A Health Seeker
absolutely cannot succeed in doing Natural Hygiene while practicing
drug/substance abuse, self-medicating with disease-promoting foods, practicing
eating disorders, burning rest and sleep candles at both ends, and/or otherwise
indulging in reckless and dangerous thrill-seeking of all kinds... while John
and Jane Average-American Doe thrive on a life of mild to dangerous thrills and
health-destroying distractions, stimulants, addictions, and/or as little sleep
as possible -- until their appointed days of reckoning come.
7. A Health Seeker
absolutely cannot succeed in doing Natural Hygiene if taking over-the-counter
and prescription medications that mess up their biochemistry and
neurophysiology and emotional balance and clarity of mind... while John and
Jane Average-American Doe surely do so medicate -- until side effects catch up
with them to give them a whole new set of physical and mental/emotional
problems to deal with besides that for which they were taking the drugs in the
first place.
8. Living outside
The Disease Industrialists' Box and pursuing The 10 Energy Enhancers is
impossible for un-educated, un-inspired, un-motivated, un-committed,
un-correcting, lukewarm Natural Hygiene Health Seekers... while John and Jane
Average-American Doe mindlessly follow friends and relatives, the crowd who
have been bamboozled by the cunning and clever directions of the very most
powerful brainwashing and addiction-creating tool of The Disease Industrialists
= the advertising industry.
9. Doing any or all
of The 10 Energy Enhancers is anti-establishment and makes many lukewarm Health
Seekers too uncomfortable... while pursuing The American Dream as promoted by
The Disease Industrialists via The 10 Energy Robbers makes most people
comfortable as they enjoy the rat race and company of the in crowd.
10. Doing
The Natural Hygiene Diet of fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds takes too much
fun out of eating and demands too much self-discipline... while enjoying
Standard American Diet foods is fun to be had by all and is found all along the
path of least resistance and takes no self-discipline at all.
11. Doing
The Natural Hygiene Diet of fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds takes too much
self-sacrifice most all the time... while Standard American Diet foods invite
and encourage too much self-indulgence at all times.
12. Doing
The Natural Hygiene Diet of fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds takes too many
mellow and mild-flavored and boring foods with too many restrictions in kinds
of foods, amounts, and combinations... while Standard American Diet foods can
be too thrilling and too addicting for words and can be eaten with absolutely
no restrictions, whatsoever.
13. Doing
The Natural Hygiene Diet of fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds takes too much
effort and/or the investment of a fast to retrain the 10,000 taste buds embedded in the tongue... while Standard American Diet foods do not take any
effort to savor and most often taste too good in whatever form they come.
14. Unless
the 10,000 taste buds have been retrained and/or turned pristine from taking a
fast, doing The Natural Hygiene Diet of fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds
gives no immediate gratification of every unwholesome thought, whim, sight,
sound, touch, taste, smell, fantasy... while Standard American Diet foods do and
do so with ultimate, albeit momentary, satisfaction and even enormous taste
thrills.
15. Doing
The Natural Hygiene Diet of fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds does too much
teaching against social drinking and recreational drinking of beverages made
from the correct foods... while Standard American Diet foods give complete
freedom to drink whatever and whenever a person wants: carbonated, sugared,
chemicalized, alcohol or dairy-based, canned, bottled, or otherwise.
16. Doing
The Natural Hygiene Diet of fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds does too much
condemning of recipes, even those with simple shredding, blending, chopping,
mashing, mincing, dehydrating, freezing... while Standard American Diet foods
are almost all recipes of all kinds all the time and invite consumption of them
all with complete and wild abandon of all preparation restrictions.
17. Doing
The Natural Hygiene Diet of fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds takes too much
time planning and shopping for the right foods at the right places... while
securing Standard American Diet foods takes much less planning as they are too
readily accessible around the clock just about everywhere.
18. Doing
The Natural Hygiene Diet of fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds costs too much
money and can sometimes deliver disappointing flavor... while Standard American
Diet foods, selected properly, are cheap to eat and dependably delicious.
19. Doing
The Natural Hygiene Diet takes The Health Seeker into too strange a world of
social eating habits and often leaves him or her feeling like a weirdo or a
cult-captive at worst or an health nut at best... while no one is ever ostracized
or stigmatized for enjoying Standard American Diet foods in virtually every
social situation.
20. No
Health Seeker can succeed in doing Natural Hygiene without putting out the
effort to get immediate gratification systems firmly in place by making it FUN!
FUN! FUN! throughout the day or at least mildly pleasurable/rewarding in the
long run for all the right reasons... while John and Jane Average-American Doe
just do not care about Energy Enhancing FUN or long run health rewards, because
they have been properly brainwashed by The Disease Industrialists'
advertisement machines to eat, drink, be merry, and -- above all -- to stop
thinking critically.
21. Natural
Hygiene never took off because The Natural Hygiene Movement never had "One Good
Leader" who was "A Completely Dedicated & Total Success Package!" Not one
leader in the last century fit the bill with all the necessary, unique features
to make that complete package who would sell Natural Hygiene to The People. We
are still lacking that "One Good Leader" today. This is not to fault the
efforts of our Natural Hygiene Doctors with bona-fide chiropractic and medical
degrees or the many self-declared Health Educators with their various and
sometimes dubious credentials who call themselves "doctors." For nearly all who seemed to
be candidates, it was never their calling to take on the job in the first
place. For the few who seemed to fit the bill, they all exhibited at least one "tragic flaw" in the Greek
tragedy sense of the term that kept the would-be leader from being that "Total
Success Package." These are the needed features: holds a genuine heart for The
People, overflows with joy, glows with health considering age and what he or
she has been through, exhibits a grand command of the spoken and written word,
has high energy reserves, has a head for business, is motivated for all the
right reasons, practices high moral values, takes a "never give up" attitude of
perseverance, and knows and practices Correct Natural Hygiene.
LET ME ANSWER THE QUESTION WITH A MORE POSITIVE THRUST!
The following is a repeat from our 8th broadcast back in 2009!
NATURAL HYGIENE NEVER WENT BIG BECAUSE NOT ENOUGH HEALTH SEEKERS WHO DID STUMBLE ACROSS IT TURNED THEMSELVES INTO "LIVE-FOOD ENTHUSIASTS" OF THE HIGHEST DEGREE!
HOW DO YOU MEASURE UP?
THE PROFILE OF THE LIVE-FOOD ENTHUSIAST
#1 - THE LIVE-FOOD ENTHUSIAST and THE HEALTH SEEKER are one in the same! They actually see health, high energy, a youthful appearance, emotional health, mental clarity, nurturing relationships, freedom from addiction, and a long, rewarding life when casting eyes upon Live-Foods from The Ideal Diet. Likewise, THE LIVE-FOOD ENTHUSIAST turned HEALTH SEEKER actually sees the personification of Enervation, Toxemia, premature aging, a handicapped mentality, emotional illness, toxic relationships, slavery to addiction, and a shortened life span ended by untimely death when looking at dead foods that come from The Standard American Diet.
#2 - THE LIVE-FOOD ENTHUSIAST, because of this vision, is committed to The Ideal Diet, to the best of his or her ever-improving ability. Former addiction and moments of weakness may cause an occasional backsliding. But Live-Food commitment causes self-correction quickly to The Right Track!
#3 - THE LIVE-FOOD ENTHUSIAST does not feel she or he is giving up anything by turning away from dead foods and turning to The Live-Food Plan. With this mindset, they both experience... "NOT PUNISHMENT, NOT DEPRIVATION! BUT LIBERATION!" Neither go about with attitudes or looks on their faces or in their body language that reads they are being deprived or punished. Neither acts as though she or he is sacrificing anything worthwhile by turning away from sickening, dead, SAD food.
#4 - THE LIVE-FOOD ENTHUSIAST, man or woman, never feels a need to ever be on the defensive about his or her Live-Food choices -- nor does either feel a need to degrade the SAD dietary choices of their friends. Furthermore, they do not push The Ideal Diet on others.
#5 - THE LIVE-FOOD ENTHUSIAST knows he or she has discovered "THE IDEAL WAY OF EATING" that is adding untold richness to their lives. In this spirit, therefore, both feel privileged to have discovered the inestimable blessings of The Live-Food Diet. A blessedness and a specialness and an excitement for life and a glow of health and happiness, all go with THE LIVE-FOOD ENTHUSIAST wherever he or she goes!
#6 - THE LIVE-FOOD ENTHUSIAST does feel the powerful urge, which comes from the natural human inclination to share a good thing, to teach the many truths of Natural Hygiene as "The Superlative, Alternative Health Care System" to others who express a definite interest.
#7 - THE LIVE-FOOD ENTHUSIAST feels so privileged and blessed, so healthy and happy, that her or his enthusiasm is not only apparent for all to see -- it is actually contagious! When dining with others, consequently, this "HIGH JOY" causes others to take interest in Hygienic living and eating. THE LIVE-FOOD ENTHUSIASTS frequently find themselves sharing. They invite others to Live-Food picnics and dinners. They loan out and/or gives out Natural Hygiene literature, especially recipe books. They prepare the scrumptious Live-Food beverages as a way of gently showing others how tasty SAD beverage alternatives can be! They sponsor Live-Food lectures and support group meetings. They becomes teachers to those who ask what it is that is making him or her look so good and feel so energetic!
#8 - THE LIVE-FOOD ENTHUSIAST, remember, is also a HEALTH SEEKER of the first order. He and she see The Ideal Diet as only part of a total, healthful living program. Both are committed to a nontoxic lifestyle -- in its totality -- "THE 10 ENERGY ENHANCERS." Both turn away from all "THE 10 ENERGY ROBBERS." Both embrace all of Natural Hygiene, in striving for their highest health and energy potentials!
#9 - THE LIVE-FOOD ENTHUSIAST seeks health even in the middle of stumbling and falling, backstepping and backsliding, falling off the wagon and ending up in SAD mud! THE LIVE FOOD ENTHUSIAST is also a realist who understands that he or she is not perfect, that going off the raw foods happens, and that doing so is part of the process of transitioning to all-raw or mostly all raw foods. THE LIVE FOOD ENTHUSIAST never gives up and counts it all joy: being on the diet perfectly and falling off terribly. Self-correction is part of THE LIVE FOOD ENTHUSIAST mentality! Joyful self-correction!
#10 - THE LIVE-FOOD ENTHUSIASTS -- women, men, children -- all value their own health and well-being. They are free from programming of low self-esteem. They are not set on a "self-destruct" mode of operating. Ultimately, THE LIVE-FOOD ENTHUSIASTS, that is, THE HEALTH SEEKERS, are proud of their purposeful lives with far-reaching goals. They see taking care of themselves as a means to best enable them to serve and to be of best use to their fellow brothers and sisters, to all forms of plant and animal life and to our great Planet Earth! Grateful stewards are what they are.
HAPPY TRAILS to you, until we meet
again!
Remember...
High & I Are Pullin' for ya'll!
We're All in This Together!
May...
God Bless Us All!
