Optimizing Your Health
Dr.David Homer N.D., C.N.C
HOMEOSTASIS THROUGH WHOLISTIC ADAPTATION:
The maintenance of systemic balance and efficiency (biochemically and physiologically) through all the various levels of the body as influenced by all three dimensions of being (Body, Soul & Spirit).
OPTIMUM NUTRITION:
The proper and timely quantitative presence of the right source of nutrients at the appropriate levels of the body.
QUALITY OF NUTRITION:
The proper and timely qualitative utilization of the right source of nutrients at the appropriate levels of the body. All metabolic processes require the presence of the right amount of nutrients, in the right balance, at the right place, at the right time, and in the right (utilizable) form.
SYSTEMIC EFFICIENCY:
The efficient and harmonious balance of all biosystems, independently and collectively, based upon organ/glandular efficiency, which is based upon cellular efficiency, which is based upon optimum availability of energy to the cells, which depends on the ingestion, digestion, absorption, transportation, assimilation and the timely (quantitative & qualitative) utilization of the proper balance of biochemical constituents (nutrition) provided at the right place, the right time, and in the right form that is utilizable.
REGULATORY BALANCE:
There are many thousands of biochemical reactions that take place on a daily basis as part of the innumerable life-supporting processes of metabolism. But they occur neither independently (as the body functions as a whole) nor without the direction of various fundamental homeostatic controls processes and systems.
Therefore, the potential for sufficient wholistic adaptation, continual homeostatic balance and consequently the optimizing of health and prevention of disease, is a measure of the body's ability to manage stressors (spiritual, mental/emotional, biochemical, structural, environmental) through it's capacity for the creation and maintenance of energy, via the following dualistic, fundamental homeostatic controls.
- ALKALINE - ACID BALANCE: This provides the inter-ecology of the body upon which all 100 trillion cells depends for proper function, and is influenced by seven (7) causal factors: Chronic Dietary Balance with respect to acid/alkaline pH of foods and drinks. Autonomic Nervous System, Carbo-Oxidative System, Lipo-Oxidative System, Electrolyte/fluid Balance, Respiratory Function and Endocrine Efficiencies (kidney, adrenal, thyroid, pituitary, parathyroid, ovary, testes). o ACID vs. ALKALINE
- AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM: The master regulator of metabolism
and
neuro-endocrine/hormonal balance. o SYMPATHETIC vs. PARASYMPATHETIC - CARBO-OXIDATIVE SYSTEM: The conversion of nutrients to energy via intermediary carbohydrate metabolism, involving Glycolysis, Citric Acid (Kreb's) Cycle, Beta Oxidation. o FAST OXIDATION vs. SLOW OXIDATION
- LIPO-OXIDATIVE PROCESSES: Involves fatty acids/sterols balance, cell membrane permeability, endomemberne integrity, and aerobic/anaerobic metabolism. o CATABOLIC vs. ANABOLIC
- ELECTROLYTE/FLUID BALANCE: critical in all efficient biosystem balance and function. o ELECTROLYTE EXCESS vs. ELCETROLYTE DEFFICIENCY
- ENDOCRINE SYSTEM: Endocrine Type depending on dominant energy gland of individual. o PITUITARY vs. THYROID vs. ADRENAL vs. GONAD
- ABO BLOOD TYPE: Individual blood chemistry influences variances in homeostatic controls. o TYPE 'O' vs. TYPE 'A' vs. TYPE 'B' vs. TYPE 'AB'
This dualistic effect of human health is by virtue of living in a relative universe, where every action must have an equal and opposite reaction. This is why health and disease is influenced by the way we live. The play and display of all universal activity is through the interplay of opposites: up/down, wet/dry, fast/slow, north/south, forward/backward, left/right, day/night, hot/cold, creation/destruction, positive/ negative, protons/electrons, anabolic/catabolic, acid/alkaline, etc. This relative dualism manifest in human metabolism at every level of hierarchical organization, as well as in the fundamental homeostatic control systems.
It is through the proper and balanced operation of the above dualistic, fundamental, homeostatic control systems that physiological, biochemical and metabolic balance and efficiency are maintained. This is all influenced by the dimensions of soul (belief factor) and spirit (faith factor).
The critical importance on nutrition in the question of health vs. disease is grasped through the understanding that every nutrient and every food has specific supporting or inhibitory effects on one or more of the Fundamental Homeostatic Control Systems listed above, influenced by the mental/emotional and spiritual dimensions of our being.
KNOWING GENETIC INHERITANCE:
Everyone is born with specific constitutional or genetic weaknesses. This is all part of man's individuality. Genetic weakness can exist on all levels of our being (spiritual, mental, physiological, biochemical, structural). How and where degenerative disease may manifest is largely determined by imbalances against one's genetic "weak link."
In optimizing health and preventing disease, while there is a fundamental dietary basis for human health, each individual require some differences in protein/fat/carbohydrate ratios in dietary intake to meet the dictates of their biochemical individuality for gaining and maintaining optimum health. We each must know for ourselves what optimizes our physical and mental best.
Optimizing health, maximizing life and preventing disease requires and application of the preceding information into a comprehensive, lifestyle program. InnerLife's BioLife Program is designed to meet individual needs, and direct the individual along a path of a superior quality of health and life.
The innerLife Wellness Center does not seek to treat nor fight disease, but rather seeks to build health by balancing the inner-ecology of the body through properly evaluating, identifying and addressing each person's individual biochemistry, weakness, deficiencies, tendencies and lifestyle. This approach unleashes the body's natural, inherent and powerful capacity for restoration, regeneration and vibrant, energetic health, which is preprogrammed into every one of the body's 100 trillion cells - A state of wellness far beyond that of merely being free of symptoms. A place of responsible living where one can truly optimize health, maximize life and prevent disease.
