"Indifference Does the Greatest Harm".






Can Our Words (or Lack Thereof) Have Direct Positive or Negative Influence?
This is an astounding video showing an experiment by Dr. Masaru Emoto using only words on 3 beakers of rice. The implications of this seem to be enormous. In reference to how we interact with our children, he states that "indifference does the greatest harm".

Limu Moui - What Is It, and Why is it A Significant Health Supplement?



Limu Moui - What Is It, and Why is it A Significant Health Supplement? 


Hello. Today I am writing about a dietary supplement called Limu Moui (aka Brown Seaweed) that
has been known by a select few - i.e. the native Tongans living on the island of Tonga in the South Pacific - for over 3000 years. It is a well documented fact that the Tongan people have lived virtually disease - free and have a life expectancy that far exceeds those of any other country in the world. What do the Tongans themselves attribute this super - health and longevity to? Limu Moui - the brown Seaweed plant which they have been harvesting from the pristine waters of the Pacific Ocean off the coast of their island.
So, you may be asking, what is it about the seaweed plant Limu Moui that makes it so special? The secret behind it is Fucoidan. Fucoidan is a proven supernutrient enriched in anti-inflammatory
and anti-viral nutrients.Over 1,000 independent studies citing Fucoidan have been published by the likes of The Journal of Molecular Immunology and The British Journal of Pharmacology, and even more are listed by our Nation’s standard - The National Institute of Health on pubmed.gov.

I feel I can speak about this amazing natural health product with some authority because I have been taking Original Limu every day for the last 9 years - and I must say my overall health has been exceptionally good so far. That was not always the case. In fact, it was my relatively poor overall health, especially yearly bouts with chronic bronchitis that actually led me to finally discover Original Limu through a friend of mine. Reluctant and skeptical at first, I decided to give it a try for the 90 day
period that is recommended by the manufacturer. I actually began to feel some of the benefits almost immediately - increased energy and more restful sleep were two I remember offhand. But the greatest, and totally surprising benefit was the complete cessation of my usually recurring bronchitis which would predictably hit me every fall, and then sometimes again in the spring or summer of the next year.
This was truly a shocking experience for me. I had actually conquered a chronic bacteriological infection without antibiotics! And the way it was conquered was to naturally boost my damaged and weakened immune system using a natural super nutrient found in a sea plant! But the proof was in the pudding. I was not really 100% convinced that it wasn't just a coincidence that I didn't come down with bronchitis that year. So I continued taking the Limu supplement (it comes as a pleasant tasting juice, with 83% of each bottle containing 100% Fucoidan rich Tongan limu) and waited to see what happened the next year. Well, needless to say, Ever since that first year of taking the Limu every day, after 9 years I have still not come down with bronchitis - not once! So I am a now a lifelong convert and enthusiastic advocate of this product simply because I have experienced first hand what it can do.

Here are some of the F.A.Q's published by the Limu Company, manufacturer of Original Limu:

Q: How is the limu harvested and processed?
The unique limu used in LIMU ORIGINAL® is harvested among the islands of the Kingdom of Tonga and is strictly licensed and protected by the Tongan government. The purest form of limu is collected and carefully cleaned in Tonga, then flash-frozen to preserve its freshness. It is then
transported to New Zealand, where it is refined into a unique liquid extract in a government-inspected facility, using our proprietary extraction process. The extract is quality tested and transported to the United States, where it is blended with our proprietary formula into LIMU ORIGINAL®
and bottled for your use.

Q: How does LIMU ensure the quality of LIMU ORIGINAL®?
LIMU has a ten-step quality manufacturing process to ensure that you receive the same standardized quality in every bottle of LIMU ORIGINAL®. It is manufactured according to strict Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) standards in an FDA-inspected facility. From raw material analysis to final product inspection, every production step is carefully monitored and documented, with full accountability and in-process controls. Each batch of LIMU ORIGINAL® is then thoroughly tested prior to being released for consumption.

Q: What is the advantage of flash pasteurizing LIMU ORIGINAL®?
Our state-of-the-art flash pasteurization process allows us to chill-blend LIMU ORIGINAL®, thereby maintaining the highest levels of nutritional integrity. By comparison, most companies use a pasteurization process that heats the product for extended periods of time, which can destroy
valuable nutrients.

Q:Which additional nutrients are found in LIMU ORIGINAL®?
In addition to the usual vitamins, minerals, amino acids, essential fatty acids and antioxidants that you find in fruits and vegetables, LIMU ORIGINAL® provides several other powerful nutrients including polyphenols, glyconutrients (fucose, galactose, mannose and xylose), alginate and Fucoidan. Research indicates it is the presence of Fucoidan that really differentiates LIMU ORIGINAL® from other food supplements. It is important to note that Fucoidan is not found in land-based plants.

By the way - don't be fooled by any of the other Limu or Fucoidan "immitators" out there - and there are many. If you are going to try Limu the only true, correctly harvested and processed one to try is Orignal Limu from the Limu Company. (Click on the "Original Limu" link to go there now).

I hope that helps to de- mystify what Limu Moui is for you. This is a product that I wholeheartedly endorse as a pure, natural wellness product that could, as it did for me, positively change and enhance your health and quality of life.

To Your Health!

Warmest Regards,
Chuck Underwood

pH Balance in Your Everyday Diet

pH Balance in Your Everyday Diet

I don't remember exactly where I first discovered the somewhat obscure subject of pH Balance (or the lack of) in our diets. Probably just stumbled on it while surfing the web. But I found it to be fascinating and revealing. Many nutritionists and even some doctors are beginning to come forward to at least say publicly that there is some validity to claims that pH Imbalance can be a significant contributing factor to a host of common diseases in humans.

If you are new to this I have found a pretty good website that goes into great detail in explaining it: Here are some snippets I copied and pasted for you just as a very quick overview. To get more info here is the link to the site: http://bit.ly/1gmID1x

Understanding pH

pH (potential of hydrogen) is a measure of the acidity or alkalinity of a solution. It is measured on a scale of 0 to 14—the lower the pH the more acidic the solution, the higher the pH the more alkaline (or base) the solution. When a solution is neither acid nor alkaline it has a pH of 7 which is neutral.
Water is the most abundant compound in the human body, comprising 70% of the body. The body has an acid-alkaline (or acid-base) ratio called the pH which is a balance between positively charges ions (acid-forming) and negatively charged ions (alkaline-forming.) The body continually strives to balance pH. When this balance is compromised many problems can occur.
It is important to understand that we are not talking about stomach acid or the pH of the stomach. We are talking about the pH of the body's fluids and tissues which is an entirely different matter.

Most people who suffer from unbalanced pH are acidic. This condition forces the body to borrow minerals—including calcium, sodium, potassium and magnesium—from vital organs and bones to buffer (neutralize) the acid and safely remove it from the body. Because of this strain, the body can suffer severe and prolonged damage due to high acidity—a condition that may go undetected for years.
Mild acidosis can cause such problems as:
  • Cardiovascular damage, including the constriction of blood vessels and the reduction of oxygen.
  • Weight gain, obesity and diabetes.
  • Bladder and kidney conditions, including kidney stones.
  • Immune deficiency.
  • Acceleration of free radical damage, possibly contributing to cancerous mutations.
  • Hormone concerns.
  • Premature aging.
  • Osteoporosis; weak, brittle bones, hip fractures and bone spurs.
  • Joint pain, aching muscles and lactic acid buildup.
  • Low energy and chronic fatigue.
  • Slow digestion and elimination.
  • Yeast/fungal overgrowth.
There is a great pH Balance Chart on the website page showing which foods are acidic, and which are alkaline. Click the link below to view:

http://bit.ly/1gmID1x

Since I first became interested in this topic I have tried to follow as best as I can to "balance" my acidity to the recommended "Healthy Body pH Range". One thing I have changed at mealtime is to add a squeezed lemon or lime in my water - this may sound strange to you at first - after all, lemons and limes as we all know are highly acidic. But, as I have learned, after ingested into the body, "the end-products they produce after digestion and assimilation are very alkaline so lemons are alkaline-forming in the body. Likewise, meat will test alkaline before digestion but it leaves very acidic residue in the body so, like nearly all animal products, meat is very acid-forming".

If you visit my website: Wellspring of Health you will find at least one link to a downloadable e-book on the subject of pH Balance in your diet and how to best achieve it. When I find other ones that look to be significant I will post them there. (If you like you can subscribe to my email list for immediate updates).

Welcome to Wellspring of Health - Your Online Resource for Natural Health News and Information



Welcome to Wellspring of Health!

Hello, and welcome to my first post on Wellspring of Health - a new blog I created to share some of my own personal insights gained from much natural health research, experimentation, and successful results over a span of about 15 years or so. My name is Chuck Underwood. I am a 61 year old guy in excellent health. But, I must admit, this has not always been the case. I used to be somewhat overweight, and I had a very weak immune system - due in my opinion by overuse of antibiotics over the span of many years earlier in my life. I developed  chronic bronchitis which hit me a minimum of twice a year, and took a strong dose of antibiotics to overcome. This became unbearable after a couple of years - I could pretty much count on getting sick every fall - it was certain. I knew this was not normal, but I didn't know what, if anything I could possibly do to end it.
Well, you know it's funny how in life sometimes when you are really searching for something that you are intensely interested in finding, it almost magically appears as if from nowhere. That is what happened to me - an acquaintance of mine came up to me and introduced me to a seaweed extract product called Original Limu (Limu is a Tongan word for Seaweed). I, being the skeptical type, (and still am, by the way) needed a good bit of convincing before I finally thought - hey, it won't hurt to at least try it. So I did - and Wow! After the first month of drinking it every day, I was feeling great! After 90 days I was in a much better place - physically and mentally. You see, I feel this is one of the pleasant by-products of gaining your natural health back. You feel great - invigorated - truly alive - like you were alway meant to feel! The story gets even better from there. The next year I was amazed - actually stunned to go through the entire year without even so much as a head cold! The chronic bronchitis that I had been suffering from for the last 5 years, sometimes twice or even three times in one year, was gone. Finished! And I can tell you that even now almost 6 years on - I have still not come down with bronchitis even once. Do you, in all sincerity, really think it could only be a coincidence that that  malady stopped after I had added only one thing in my diet - the Limu seaweed supplements ? That's fine if you do, but you would never be able to convince me of that.
So, that is only one of my "standout" success stories that I will be sharing here - along with other documented stories from other people in the world who have changed their lives for the better by switching to natural alternatives to the big pharma "treat the symptoms" kind of heath care that is blindly followed by so many these days. In my case, treating only the symptoms - by constant use of antibiotics, actually helped to create and then propagate the problem by substantially weakening my immune system to the point that it could not recover itself.
