Headaches follow a chaotic life. High acidity often produces small hemorrages, which then produce pain.
A swollen lip is a sign of bad intestines. Such a person is prone to constipation. Crossing the arms indicates an ill-functioning stomach and crossing the legs when sitting is another sign of bad intestines.
Stomach cramps result from either eating too fast or too far on the acid side. In any event, eating too fast produces acidity. Good chewers never have stomach problems.
Insomnia is caused by bad kidneys, lungs or liver, or sometimes by a great accumulation of food in the stomach.
Sore throat comes from eating rich food in excess and drinking cold liquids - especially beer.
Deafness is caused by bad kidneys or gall bladder.
Menstruation occurs naturally at the time of the new moon. Moon-time is Yin and blood is Yang. Yin attracts Yang outside!
The heavy meat eater is a slave whose burden is as great as his ignorance.
Russian athletes who eat kasha (buckwheat) are clearly superior long-distance runners.
A man of war and violence does not eat grain before battle. War demands meat and swords require blood.
Unfit food produces split, schizophrenic thought that fluctuates between extreme and extreme, between wisdom and violence, hatred and love. Unfit foods change the history of Man. they are his biochemical determinants. Man cannot help but open and close his mouth according to the expansive and contractive commands of his food. Whoever resists such movement possesses a distorted mouth and utters the speech of a retarded child. The polluted currents pouring into the bloodstream already seek to empty into the ocean of death.
When our stomach or intestines are upset we drink KUZU, which is a white powder resembling arrow root in texture. When our children develop runny noses, we give them a little KUZU, and that takes care of it. It is perfucet for colds, excess acidity, stomach cramps, etc. (etc? my question mark).
The flu is not caused by a virus! Flu results from internal weakness. A cold is the accumulation of mucus formed by an over-acid condition.
enjoy!!

Most often motivation does not occur until much damage has been done and people get scared.
Do people smoke cigarettes because they have not heard of the dangers?
Do they buy lottery tickets because they don't know the odds?
Do they charge their credit cards to the limit because they don't know the interest rates?
These "unrelated" questions are all one in the same.
People are making a choice but they ignore and deny the consequences until they are forced to choose differently.
Most people refused to wear seat belts until laws and fines forced them.
I do believe that growing up "buckled in" will help the next generation do it by habit without thinking.
But do we want a food police?
Do you want politicians choosing your dinner?
I think most people "know" what's healthy to eat.
Many restaurants have offered "heart healthy" choices but they are not popular choices.
Figure out how to fix the motivation problem, then education will have a chance.

I mean dead on target, spot on, (hopefully not literally "dead" anything), and just about every point you made hit home with me. I smoke only very occasionally and feel "naked" without seat belts, but I'm a poster child, nevertheless, for much of what you speak of.
It all comes down to what I feel is the real definition of maturity -- being able to sacrifice transient or immediate perceived gains for gain in the long term. Often there is a real trade-off.
What do we really want? Where are we going, and why are we here?

You make very reasonable and rational points. However, I'll see you and raise you one. The very motivation problem you describe comes after years of repetitive bad habits, sometimes addicting habits. The BEST chance we have, IMHO, is to do a full court press/power play jam/blitz the quarterback campaign in grade school, teaching our young kids about these serious health issues and healthy lifestyle choices. Get them young while they are impressionable, open-minded, and don't have to break bad habits they haven't formed yet.
You don't need to worry much about MOTIVATING to stop/change, if you don't go down the wrong path to begin with. That is my point.
Your point is well taken. You need major motivation to stop/change harmful habits in an adult who's been doing it that way for years.
Case in point. By the time I was in school, the evils of smoking were well known and taught. My generation of americans has a far lower smoking rate than the previous 2 generations.
How do we motivate the folks who already smoke to quit? If it were up to me, I would tax the hll out of cigarettes--say to make the total cost of a pack of cigarettes say $60, or $3 a cigarette. Use that tax to fund the cost of treating all cigarette related illnesses in uninsured patients. Talk about motivation. That should motivate many to quit or better yet, not to start.

Roger, our points are complimentary, not mutually exclusive.

That is what I had in mind when I mentioned seat belt use.
Babies are required to be "buckled up" when the leave the hospital.
As they grow up, and with the help of the police, they may actually feel uncomfortable not being buckled.
I began wearing my seatbelt after I saw a truck exactly like mine with the driver's head smashed thru the windshield. That was motivation for me.
My wife would not wear a seat belt until she rolled our car 3 times down an embankment.
That was motivation for her. (a little late)
I never liked wearing a helmet on a motorcycle until I watched my sister in law go thru rehab after a motorcycle head injury.
She spent a month in a coma, months more in rehab facilities.
Her 30th birthday was spent peeing on herself in a nursing home.
She lives on her own now but is still not "right."
THAT was motivation for me. (And education)
As to food, my overweight grandson tells me that his school has "healthy" food selections.
But without the police and government involvement I think most select pizza over Tofu.
When I was a kid we didn't have special "healthy" menu choices in school but we did have physical education EVERYDAY.
I can remember actually sweating!
When school was out I played hard and fast. Football, baseball, basketball, skates, bicycles.
I was not overweight.
Now, even playing "tag" has been outlawed in some schools. Phys ed has been eliminated.
Kids watch dvd's in the car on the way home, turn on the big-screen TV or video games as soon as they're in the house and their bodies begin producing hugh amounts of adrenaline but with no physical outlet.
Health Education has a lot of powerful competition and it's an uphill battle.
