HOMEOPATHY AND RADIONICS VERSUS NUTRITIONAL BALANCING

VITALITY OR ADAPTIVE ENERGY

by Lawrence Wilson, MD

The concept of vitality is a very complex one. This article will just introduce the subject, as it is central to nutritional balancing science and, indeed, for all healing of the body, mind and spirit.

Vitality is a measure of the life force energy or etheric energy that a person has. The idea of life force energy is ancient. It was called chi, or qi in Chinese, prana in the Hindu culture of India. In Western medicine, it has been called life force energy, vital force, vital energy, orgone energy or zero-point energy.

The importance of vitality. Vitality is a central concept because it is the basis of physical life on earth. Without it, life stops. The more it can be nourished, conserved, nurtured and enhanced, the more life thrives in every way, not just on a physical level.

WHAT EXACTLY IS VITALITY?

This is a difficult question to answer in a simple way. Let us define it as the force for growth and development of the physical world. This is a simple and relatively safe definition, as far as not offending anyone, while opening it up for most people to imagine what this means.

PRINCIPLES OF VITALITY OR LIFE FORCE ENERGY

1. Life force energy is always present in the universe. This means that vitality or life force is always all around us. It never disappears, as all life depends upon it. It also never diminishes, in spite of how one feels a certain day, the weather or any other factors on earth. It is, one could say, the love of God manifesting each moment everywhere in creation.

2. Our bodies must absorb a certain amount of it from the food, water or air, or even the land we are on.

This means that one purpose of eating food, while there are many, includes absorbing this energy from the food. Another purpose of eating that is rarely discussed is to nourish and build up the very subtle mechanisms that allow the body to absorb life force energy from its immediate environment.

In some people, the ability to absorb this life force energy or vitality from food is much better than in others. This is important, as it explains why some people eat poor quality food and yet at least appear to live quite well on it. Others seem to have little life force energy, even though they eat a lot of high-quality food. Perhaps their life force absorption mechanism, which is related to their digestion, does not work as well.

This also explains why some people can go without food or even water for days without perishing, while others get very tired without food or water, or while just fasting on juices or other items. This has to do with genetics, disposition and more. Some people just are born with more ability to absorb natural or life force energy from their surroundings than others.

These people are often happier, by the way, and less dependent on others for nourishment, either physical or emotional. This is one way to tell these individuals, who are often identifiable from birth or soon after.

These individuals often life long, healthy lives in spite of hardships as well. Others must be far more careful in their lifestyles and diets in order to not fall ill or die young.

This may seem unfair, but it appears to be the case, as any physician knows who has worked with many people.

3. Life force or adaptive energy is central to health. It is the common denominator of health. This energy is required for all body functions of every kind. The converse of this is that any ailment or symptom can occur due to fatigue or low vitality.

4. Any method that helps to conserve, nurture, enhance or create more vitality is therefore helpful for one’s healing. This is where natural healing excels and conventional allopathic medicine, in particular, fails miserably, in general.

Allopathy or drug medical care depends mainly on toxic substances to restore health. This is not helpful, as the body must overcome the effects of the toxins in the drugs, surgical procedures and more.

Natural healing, by contrast, uses only naturally-occurring and generally less toxic substances and shuns poisons wherever possible. In this regard, natural healing does not have to contend with toxic “side effects”, “adverse effects”, “collateral problems” and other fancy terms for toxic effects of medications and procedures such as radiation therapy, perhaps the worst from this standpoint.

Natural healing has other advantages, of course, but this is the main one for our purposes here.

5. Vitality is not something to take lightly. In other words, beware of any behavior, activity, habit or food item, for example, that lowers vitality. Pay attention to incorporate any behavior, habit, activity or food item, for example, that can enhance vitality.

6. The proper food, drinking water, enough rest and sleep, deep breathing and perhaps meditation are among the main items that build vitality in human beings:

a. Food and diet include eating habits such as food quantity, food habits, chewing and so forth.

b. Drinking water is most important. The best, we find, is either steam distilled or a good quality spring water. Others, such as well water, tap water, reverse osmosis water and the rest are not as good and diminish one’s vitality, or at least do not enhance it nearly as much.

c. Rest and sleep. This includes going to bed by 9 PM, taking naps when needed, sleeping at least 8 or 9 hours daily, and to some extent factors such as having fresh air when sleeping.

d. Deep breathing. This is the basis for much of yogic breathing that can do much for healing. For our purposes, the three-part yoga breath or circle breathing is quite sufficient.

A way to enhance vitality related to breathing deeply is to be sure to obtain as much oxygen as possible. Ways to assist this are to live in a rural area with trees nearby, or use an ozonator/ionizer air filter in your bedroom, such as the Better Living or Eco-Quest units.

e. Avoiding all toxic exposures and detoxification or removing toxins from the body. This is critical today thanks to the many toxic substances that everyone must contend with. These include toxic metals, toxic chemicals, and even electromagnetic toxins found in cell phone emissions, computer emissions and others.

f. Sexual continence. This can be another important factor in building vitality, especially for women and older people, in general. Holding on to the sexual fluids, in both men and women, conserves vital force. This is not a popular stance these days, but has been known for thousands of years and is an integral part of some religious and spiritual traditions.

g. Activities. Certain activities, notably walking, greatly enhance energy absorption. Most other sports tend to deplete a person’s vitality, at times, if overdone. However, breathing deeply that occurs during exercise is helpful. Rest and activity alternating, however, is the best combination.

h. Mental Attitude and Emotional Control. These two are very different. However, for simplicity, they are put together in this article. Mental attitude has to do with the person’s approach to life. Are you a positive thinker or do you think negatively? Do you like yourself or do you actually loathe yourself in some ways? Do you enjoy life, or is life a drag, as they say? Do you enjoy other people or do you prefer to be just by yourself. Being alone is actually better in most cases for development, although it can lead easily to boredom, depression and negativity in most people.

Emotional control has to do with the ability to focus your mind and control the mind’s tendency to wander and become over-excited, at times.

For example, if you get upset over every little thing, this uses up energy that is far better spent on constructive activity and projects such as work, healing and others. In other words, a lack of emotional control is very wasteful of energy, as are negative attitudes and emotional outbursts as well.

ADAPTATION REDUCES VITALITY

All adaptations to stress of any kind uses up vital energy. This means that adapting to cold, heat, noise, infection, lack of rest, improper food or other stress of any kind is not helpful for one’s health and vitality.

An exception is that some temporary stress due to exercise or activity is good for building the bones and muscles, but not for much else. This, and nothing else, should be the function of exercise of activity.

All other activity that produces excessive stress, such as vigorous exercise done to exhaustion, is ultimately not helpful for one’s health. I realize that this perspective differs from many others that encourage exercise for its own sake.

Similarly, any activity that depletes energy is not helpful. Even too much thinking is not helpful for health, although some thinking is essential, of course. Thinking is a very calorie intensive activity. The point is that people who work too hard may endanger their health.

VITALITY IS NOT THE SAME AS “BEING ENERGETIC”

Many people zoom around all day and even part of the night. However, on hair mineral tests we find that many of them do not have a high vitality level, which we measure using various ratios mentioned below.

Many seemingly energetic people live on stimulants, for example, such as sugar, drugs, coffee or other caffeinated foods or drinks. It is important to realize that vitality is not the same as being energetic, which is often just being stimulated.

Many things can stimulate a person, such as anger, fear, sexual drive, music on the radio, various foods such as sugars, drugs such as ADD drugs and more. However, these destroy vitality, rather than enhance it.

BUILDING VITALITY

The importance of building adaptive energy or vitality in the body in order to restore and maintain health is a central concept in nutritional balancing science. We approach this directly by paying far more attention to lifestyle, diet, rest and sleep and the other factors listed above.

In addition, however, Dr. Paul Eck figured out that one can enhance vitality or adaptive energy, as it is also called, by balancing certain mineral ratios on a properly performed and properly interpreted hair mineral analysis. In fact, this single intervention can be quite powerful when applied in a holistic fashion. Read The Oxidation Types and books by Dr. George Watson for more information about how powerful balancing the oxidation rate can be.

Nutritional supplements. Properly targeted, quality nutritional supplements recommended based upon a hair mineral test can also greatly enhance vitality. They provide nutrients the body needs, they help remove toxic substances, and they help balance the critical mineral ratios.

Other techniques that have been found extremely helpful in nutritional balancing science are the use of a near infrared sauna, in particular, coffee enemas and the Roy Masters meditation. These are better than most other detoxification and meditation techniques, in our experience. This is why the are highly recommended, while most others are not suggested. Some of the others are toxic, and many are just not as powerful.

ASSESSING VITALITY ON A HAIR MINERAL ANALYSIS

This can be done only generally. It is not totally reliable, just as many other methods to assess vitality are not 100% reliable, such as radionic machines or Kirlian photography. Here are simple indicators on a hair analysis that can be very helpful:

1. A normal or elevated Na/K ratio is better than an Na/K ratio less than 2:1.

2. Lower levels of sodium and potassium are not as good as when these numbers are normal or even slightly elevated. Extreme elevation is not a good sign.

3. The closer the calcium level is to about 40 mg%, the more likely vitaility is high. In particular, a very high hair calcium greater than about 200 mg% is an indicator of lower vitality in most cases. 4. A four lows pattern is not good.

5. A fast oxidation rate, in general, is better than very slow oxidation.

6. High levels of toxic metals may indicate a lower vitality level. However, in fast oxidizers this is often not the case. The higher level in the hair occurs simply because the person is more able to eliminate toxic metals, and not because he is more toxic.

7. A phosphorus reading of less than 13 mg% is an indicator of lowered vitality. The lower it is than this, the worse the vitality, as a general principle. A phosphorus level less than 10 mg% is a decidedly worse indicator of vitality in most cases.

8, A newly-discovered possible vitality indicator is a hair aluminum level less than about 0.6 mg%. The reasoning behind this is that everyone is toxic in aluminum. If it does not show up on the hair analysis, most likely it is because one is unable to remove it very well, indicating reduced vitality.

An exception here is that if a person uses aluminum-containing anti-persipirant, the aluminum level will often be high, even if vitality is low. This would be called a false high vitality indication. So one must ask if the person is using an aluminum-containing anti-perspirant, as many people do so.

These indicators must be assessed together for any degree of accuracy, and there are a few exceptions with all of them. This topic needs further research. However, the principles are valid and this article will be expanded in the future.
