Stop & Reverse the Cycle of Poor Health!

Apr 25, 2025 0 comments

I’ll start your day with a not-so-rosy statistic.

Currently nearly 70% of US adults have at least one chronic disease, including heart disease, cancer, stroke, chronic respiratory disease (like COPD), Alzheimer’s, diabetes, kidney disease and liver disease.

And across the world, the US is number one among its peer nations in rates of many chronic diseases.

That’s certainly nothing to brag about, my friend.

Our food and healthcare systems play a significant role in those statistics. Most of the garbage being cranked out by food companies should not even be called “food” plus our doctors are largely ignorant when it comes to healthy diet and lifestyle habits, choosing instead to prescribe an array of drugs to create a chemically induced absence of symptoms.

However, the good news here is that you can have a tremendous impact on your level of health!

Because contrary to what many people think, chronic disease doesn’t just suddenly jump up one day and bite unsuspecting you in the derriere. Instead, it’s created over time following five distinct steps.

But no matter where you might be in those five steps, you can help turn things around and make an enormous difference!

Let’s start by looking at…

The 5 stages of poor health

Stage 1: Acute problems

At Stage 1, your body is challenged because it's not getting the nutrients it needs from your diet.

At the same time, it's also trying to eliminate the tsunami of wastes created by a poor diet and detox the residue from the chemicals, artificial flavors, colors and preservatives in the processed foods you’ve eaten.

Your immune system is compromised, and you tend to get sick a lot--colds, flu or infections of some type.

But you may just grab some cold medicine or get antibiotics from the doctor and go along your merry way on to...

Stage 2: Sub-acute problems

At Stage 2, your body's starting to struggle. Lacking necessary nutrients is taking a bigger toll now and your immune system is getting weaker.

Waste begins accumulating in your tissues because they're too much for your body to eliminate.

Problems like headaches, back pain, muscle aches, acid reflux and fatigue start to pop up.

But again, you might just take medications like pain relievers, NSAIDS or antacids, and rely on coffee or energy drinks to keep you going after lunch.

And if this goes on long enough, you can advance to...

Stage 3: Chronic problems

At Stage 3, your body continues to struggle with toxic buildup and not having the nutrients it needs to keep you going, and as a result inflammation is created.

Your immune system is now waving the white flag of defeat because it absolutely CANNOT provide the disease-protection support that it was designed to anymore.

At this point, you're probably relying on one or more prescription drugs including acid reducers, high blood pressure medication, statins, antidepressants or anti-inflammatories.

But taking meds and continuing to ignore your body's true needs can move you on to...

Stage 4: Bodily degeneration

At Stage 4 your tissues begin degenerating. Your body is now SO nutritionally deficient and overrun with inflammation that it's eating away at its own minerals from your muscles and bones just to survive.

Your cells die and don't regenerate like they should, which means you can't heal as well from illness or injury.

You begin having problems in whole bodily systems now--not just various isolated symptoms. These can include your nervous system, musculoskeletal system, digestive system and circulatory system.

But sadly, many people at this stage STILL close their ears to their body's cry for help and continue to rely on medications. And eventually you can arrive at...

Stage 5: Disability

The final stage of declining health is disability. Extensive damage has occurred to your body's organs and tissues, and you can't function very well.

You may have trouble walking or moving around and may be unable to work or care for yourself.

You might need physical therapy or nursing home care, use a walker or wheelchair, or need oxygen, dialysis, chemotherapy or other services.

Sadly, as you would expect, disability frequently ends in death.

But it's NOT too late!

The glimmer of hope here is that you can make a difference in your health.

No matter what stage of declining health you happen to be in!

Even at the most serious Stage 5, you can quite possibly help reverse some of the damage that's been done, feel a whole lot better and perhaps even add years to your life.

Here’s how:

3 Ways to stop and reverse the cycle of declining health

1- Get your body the nutrients it needs

There's no two ways about it--the single most disease-preventing, health-enhancing and life-saving factor is WHAT YOU EAT EVERY DAY.

If you eat a typical nutrient-poor "modern diet" of processed food, fast food, soda and refined carbs, you can count on smoothly cruising through the 5 stages of declining health--it's practically a given.

So, it’s crucial to eat the foods that give your body the nutrients it needs to fight sickness and disease and encourage proper elimination of waste.

Things like fresh fruits and vegetables, meats, poultry, wild-caught fish, eggs, healthy fats (like butter, olive oil, coconut oil and avocado), nuts and seeds and of course plenty of filtered water.

At the same time, minimize your consumption of refined starches and sugars.

You’ll see a DRAMATIC difference in your digestion and may even lose weight without trying!

2- Get enough Vitamin D

Although all nutrients are important, vitamin D is truly a superstar because it helps create health in so many ways.

Vitamin D is essential for strong immune function, cancer protection, prevention of Type 2 diabetes, heart disease prevention, bone health and strong brain function!

Unfortunately, it is a VERY common deficiency, especially in the northern hemisphere where sunlight may be limited for much of the year.

That’s why I recommend a top-notch supplement like Optimum DK Formula with FruiteX-B to help maintain health-supporting levels of Vitamin D 365 days a year!

Optimum DK Formula provides a therapeutic 5,000 IUs of vitamin D3, plus its partners vitamin K1 and K2 and the mineral boron. These nutrients complement each other and work together to pave the way for optimal health. See here for why we dose the DK as we do.

3- Curb inflammation

Inflammation is the precursor to most diseases and prevents your body from absorbing and using nutrients, so it’s crucial to help curb it as much as you can.

And it just so happens that Nature has given us the perfect anti-inflammatory…
