BODY CHEMISTRY BALANCING

by Lady Carla Davis, MPH

Specializing in Nutrition

The human body, like everything else in nature, must maintain its proper chemical and electrical balance to be healthy. To create the most harmonious condition for healing, body chemistry balancing involves the use of food and diet; air and breathing; positive/negative ions and gauss; full spectrum light and sunshine; heating and cooling, along with elements such as vitamins, minerals, and enzymes.

According to pioneering biochemist, Dr. Edward Howell, enzymes are the substances that make life possible. They are also a factor in determining a person’s life span. There are over 700 identified human enzymes that act as catalysts to bring about all intra and extracellular chemical processes. They harvest nutrients from the foods we eat and build the body from proteins, fats, and carbohydrates.

Experts at Analytical Research Labs Inc., found that approximately 80 percent of the U.S. population lacks the necessary enzymes and natural stomach acids to adequately digest their food. Thus, establishing a healthy gut flora is the first step to restoring one’s health.

Minerals are the ‘spark plug’s of life and the basis of all life on this planet. Each living body cell, including DNA, depends on minerals for its structure and function. Minerals are involved in almost all enzyme activities. Vitamin effectiveness also depends on minerals.

Mineral levels and ratios determine biochemical balances.

Many factors like the environment, climate, toxic metals, fluoride and other pollutants, EMFs and radiation, stress, emotions and thoughts, exercise, diet, GMOs, and drugs, including medications, affect body chemistry. Biochemical imbalances can contribute to many mental and emotional conditions, such as anxiety, fear, depression, hyperactivity, hostility, phobias, and insomnia. They can also contribute to many physical ailments and diseases such as heart disease, cancer, digestive problems constipation, yeast infections, dry skin, poor skin tone, allergies, osteoarthritis, diabetes, hypoglycemia, and muscular dystrophy – to name a few. However, there are always differences to consider because of biochemical individuality.
