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 may be simply defined as life force energy. In ancient times, it was called chi, or qi in Chinese, prana in the Hindu culture of India and in Western medicine has been called life force, vital force, natural energy, orgone energy and much more. Today is goes by other names including zero-point energy and free energy, at times. This can have other meanings, however, in some cases.

The Importance of vitality concepts. Vitality is a central concept because it is the basis of physical life on earth. Without it, life stops. With it, all things are possible. The more it can be nourished, nurtured, enhanced and conserved, the more life thrives in every sphere of life, not just the physical.

For example, life force energy works in the field of economics. Free market economics tends to release the most life force energy, which is why it is the dominant system on the planet at this time.

It doesn’t matter that free markets are not perfect. They remain, by far, the best solution to producing all the goods we need to live. Therefore, it is the best system. Those who want to change this system do so at their peril. The Soviet Union and even Communist China found this out to their dismay. China adapted, while the Soviets and many other nations in history that are now dead and buried, did not.

Life force also plays a role in politics. Those with the most life force are generally elected. If that does not happen, the nation is in much worse shape for it. George Bush, Jr, has a lot of life force and looks great, even after 8 years in office. He has done much to foster freedom around the world as a result. Others, such as his father, were far less potent as leaders because they carried less of this life force due to their age and lifestyles.

So the concept is much wider than simply in the health care field, though that is our focus for this article.

WHAT EXACTLY IS VITALITY?

This is a difficult question to answer in a simple way. Perhaps the easiest definition is that it is the connection with the infinite presence of God. However, this is an unsatisfactory definition for most people.

Instead, 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 and unqualified 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 or 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 atmosphere, like a free energy machine.

This means that the purpose of eating food, while there are many, include nourishing and toning up the mechanisms that allow the body to absorb life force energy from its immediate environment.

This is important, as it explains why some people eat poor quality food and yet have a lot of energy. Others have little life force energy, even though they eat a lot of high-calorie food. Their life force absorption mechanism just 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 endure more hardships and 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 is part of a system of checks and balances that is far more complex than simple human understanding.

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 and for all human and even life activity at all levels.

Therefore, any ailment or symptom can occur due to fatigue or low vitality. This is the most important implication of the vitality principle in terms of one’s health.

4. Any method that can enhance or conserve 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 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 or safe man-made 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. Food, rest, breathing main items that can enhance vitality in human beings:

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

b. Rest and sleep. This includes naps, bedtimes, number of hours asleep, number of hours resting quietly awake and sleep habits such as having fresh air, which is critical and warmth, which produces better rest, in general. Food and rest are the two most important factors.

c. Deep breathing. This is the basis for much of yoga exercises involving breathing techniques, some of which can do much for healing. For our purposes, the three-part yoga breath is quite sufficient. Consult yoga books for more breathing exercises. However, be careful as some are designed to accumulate prana, and too much is not helpful either.

d. Sexual continence. This is another important one for young 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 practices including yoga, Catholicism and others.

Today, this means that the modern lifestyles are damaging, without a doubt. Not only is sex before marriage a great way to contract social diseases, but they waste precious energy that should be used for more creative endeavors. Beware.

e. Activity. Certain activities, notably walking, greatly enhance energy absorption. Rest and activity alternating, however, is the best combination. This, of course, is what most people do. Some, however, overdo exercise and this is not helpful. Nor is too much rest with no activity helpful, either.

f. 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 your attitudes about life. Are you excitable, or are you calm most of the time? Do you control your emotions or you express every whim and fear that you have? These matter a lot, as they counter many of the good things in life.

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

Energy is enhanced when the body does not have to adapt. All adaptation uses up energy that could otherwise be used for other things.

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.

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.

This is very different from other systems of healing that encourage a lot of exercise, for example.

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 so-called vital people live on stimulants, for example, such as 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 their radio, various foods such as sugars, drugs such as ADD drugs and more.

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 healing. 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.

Most other healing approaches focus on vitality indirectly. This is why we prefer nutritional balancing, in general. Here are some of the ways we do it with this science:

1. Diet. This, of course, is of foremost importance.

2. Lifestyle modifications also play a central role for some people. These include getting enough rest, proper activity, early to bed and more.

3. Detoxification is central for most people today, as the presence of toxic metals and chemicals require that the body adapt to them in order to continue to function. This greatly reduces vitality, as explained earlier.

4. Reducing medication and other toxic exposures is also important for many people, although essential medication is important not to discontinue until it is hopefully no longer needed.

5. Attitude change is also important to build vitality. Negative thinking, depressive thinking and similar attitudes can destroy one’s vitality quickly in some cases. This is why we always recommend the Observation-meditation exercise. The importance of this particular exercise for vitality is not explained here, but is quite amazing.

Other methods to build self-confidence and a positive outlook may also be very beneficial.

6. In addition, nutritional balancing approaches the subject of vitality indirectly by balancing the oxidation rate. This, in fact, can be quite powerful when applied in a holistic fashion. Read Dr. Watson’s books for more information about how powerful balancing the oxidation rate can be.

7. Nutritional balancing also adds nutritional supplements, saunas, coffee enemas and other methods that can also enhance vitality indirectly by ridding the body of toxic metals and toxic chemicals.

8. The sexual continence issue we don’t usually address because it is difficult for many adults. However, it is quite powerful, also. So this will be addressed more in the future.

VITALITY ON A HAIR MINERAL ANALYSIS

This is a difficult task because true vitality is not clearly measurable. In fact, it is hard to measure with any instruments, although radionics and many other sciences claim to measure it.

For example, some people use Kirlian photography or aura reading to measure it. Homeopathy doctors may use other machines to measure it.

However, they can only measure some parameters and not all. This is a very complex topic, in fact. However, hair analysis can often be helpful as well and is very simple to use in this way. Here are the simple indicators:

1. High Na/K is better than Na/K less than 1:1.

2. Low Na and K are not as good as if these numbers are greater than 4 and 2 respectively.

3. High calcium is better than an calcium level less than 10.

4. Four low electrolytes pattern is not good.

5. Fast oxidation, in general, is better than very slow oxidation.

6. Toxic metal excess is not as good as when there are no toxic metals revealed on the test.

7. A phosphorus reading of less than 10 mg% is an indicator of lowered vitality. The lower it is than this, the worse the vitality.

These indicators must be discussed in more detail and qualified, however. Also, they work together so that a low Na/K ratio is worse if the Na and K levels are also very low and the calcium is low. This topic needs to be developed further. However, the principles are valid and this article will be expanded in the future.
