Discuss: More Secrets to Staying Healthy

Now that The Secrets of People Who Never Get Sick is on the road, I'm hearing a lot of new secrets. Some of them include using colloidal silver as a wound dresser (although a quick search of the Internet reveals some nasty possible side effects), closing the toilet cover before flushing, drinking a glass of wine every day (which is discussed in the book in short form), and my favorite: divorcing your husband.

Any other secrets?

Comments

From Sydney Kling on October 31, 2010:

Thank you for including me in your book.  I have read it and surprisingly agree with almost all of the secrets and those that I agree with I do on a regular basis.  I cannot get up the nerve to dunk my head in hydrogen peroxide but do rinse my hair in vinegar every time I wash it. Also just can’t bring myself to jump into a cold shower because I never complain about the heat.  One of my secrets of the past six years to be added to your list would be as a believer in Reiki (practitioner), I practise this on myself and have not taken any over the counter or prescribed medications for discomfort during these years.  Now, I will comment that I am sharing this book with my friends (they will buy there own to have as reference) and have to tell the author that this is one of the most readable, enjoyable, doable, in expensive health advice that is available.  Thanks for all your work Gene.  Sydney Kling

From Tiiu and Bill on November 05, 2010:

We found your book to be really interesting and helpful. We would love to hear about your readers preventative recommendations. Bill, for example, is convinced he has cured the common cold by gargling with Listerine twice a day and wearing turtlenecks on chilly days. I believe acupuncture, organic foods and hiking help keep me in balance.

From Liz Dubelman on November 09, 2010:

My daughter never gets sick.  She’s 12 now and most of her friends get the usual and not so usual assortments of ailments. She has never been really sick and rarely even has a cold. Her secret? She was an IVF baby.  She was frozen for 2 months.  During the process there were 24 eggs, 12 fertilized and she was the only one that became a person.  I think she never gets sick because she was a survivor from the very start.  I know this isn’t a repeatable thing, but it is interesting.

From Joan Marie Davidson on November 11, 2010:

I have yet to read the book,though I’ve seen the Ct, interview and other promo videos. BUT right now I’m really quite SICK with a persistent cold and wonder what you, the author, mean by “sick.”
A bad cold every other year is the way I get sick. I’m never sick otherwise because: I eat healthfully, walk daily, exercise and do some yoga AND I don’t have TV any longer.

From RP on December 09, 2010:

I think closing the toilet bowl definitly helps keep you healthier!  Also, taking your shoes off before you walk around inside is a MUST!  There are so many germs that you walk on and tracking them through the house spreads them everywhere!  I also think that if you remain as stress-free as possible, you will be less likely to get sick!

From PIL on December 13, 2010:

I’d never thought of closing the toilet bowl before you flush.  Interesting. I love the one about divorcing your husband…very funny. The book is worth a look.

From NetGirlJenn on December 21, 2010:

One secret to staying healthy is ignoring Holidays. My dad is in his mid 70s, and is in great shape. It is because he didn’t celebrate his children’s birthdays or Christmas!

From TR on January 03, 2011:

Eating healthy and exercising!  I think that is the best way to stay healthy, as well as wash your hands constantly!  Can’t wait to read your book!

From graeme johnson on January 06, 2011:

1. get a good set of genes
2. do lots of yoga,especially inverted postures, even the half shoulder stand.
3. stretch regularly. every thirty minutes stand straight and arch backwards slowly to your limit with hands in the air. all our lifes actions are with flexion, so arching back will stop the shortening of various muscles and fibres.this regime is particularly important for anyone who does repetitive lifting.
4. breathe slowly. you are alloted a specific number of breaths for your life. dont squander them. and it is calming. breath is mind.
5. keep company with younger people, they will show you how to keep a flexible mind and BE young.(my son is 4 months old, my great grand daughter is 3 years old.)
6.look forward to the next decade with a vengeance and fearlessness. laugh at death.
7. get out of the ratrace and live as naturally as possible.
8. have the occasional colonic and take vitamin C frequently and as soon as you feel a slight loss of health.
9. know that you always were and always will be, you cant fall out of the universe. always be kind and encouraging to others.
10. be at one with your maker, however you conceive it to be.

From Sue on January 07, 2011:

I have not taken any pain pill or medicine for years. I will difinately read your book and look more into this topic.

From Ali Jhonson on January 08, 2011:

It is true that fresh water is essential for remaining fit and for this it is necessary to fit the office water coolers that do not build the eating areas damp and filthy.

From Randy Adams on January 09, 2011:

Just enjoyed reading your informative book, as a health care worker I’ve always tried to keep an eye out for natural remedies. I did get your book too late to prevent a recent rare cold, but my regimen has worked well in the recent past. I rely on taking a supplement that enhances the body’s store of GSH (glutathione, there are more than 90K published medical articles recounting it’s efficacy. The idea being to keep the body in balance and hopefully correct aberrations when they occur naturally. That’s my secret along with a balanced limited diet and some exercise.

From LaLaBomba on January 10, 2011:

-eat your boogers (reduces allergies and allows pathogens into the body thus allowing your body to build a resistance to them)

-If you get sick dont take any medications to supress it, suffer through it and your body will build an immunity.

-raw garlic and raw onions

-take time to meditate or simply just relax.

-massage therapy helps too!

From Gene on January 11, 2011:

Hey Lalabomba—there’s actually a discussion in the book about picking your nose, and its ramifications. It’s in the Eating Dirt chapter. And it’s all about the hygiene hypothesis. Gene

Pretty cool content.If you get sick dont take any medications to supress it, suffer through it and your body will build an immunity.

From Mark DeWitt on March 09, 2011:

I meet and talk to a lot of people daily.  Usually, during flu season I see a lot of people taking extra precautions as to avoid getting the bug such as getting that flu shot, which I have never had.  That said, what I do is put hydrogen peroxide, about 5 drops, in each ear about twice a week during flu season.  If I am around someone who is sick I may do it once I get home. 

I read some where that it is believed that the flu virus lives and grows in the ear cannel.  The extra oxygen in the peroxide is supposed to kill the virus. 

I have been doing this for over 5 years.  Last year, I got kind of cocky because I had not had the flu in so long (it used to be that I would be one of the first to get the flu) and did not use it.  One day I started to feel a little fevered so I went home and put the hydrogen peroxide in my ears.  I believed it helped.

From Jason Barson on March 10, 2011:

Thanks a lot for nice blog post about secrets to staying healthy. It extremely true fresh water is must to be healthy and fit.

From Robert Berentz on March 21, 2011:

Did a $500 telephone interview with UCLA’s Inst. of Neuro. Research .. waste of time as their cure which lowers the TMF levels in the brain is $40,000 the first year and $20,000 each year there after .. we don’t have it.

So, with natural neurological receptors already in the brain, I did a natural patch on Nancy’s neck up high where UCLA injects their Embryo TM .. and guess what .. immediately she jumped to a higher memory level .. could answer more questions after the patch than before .. and .. for the next two days with no more patch treatment .. at the grocery store etc. her friends that had not seen her for a while said, “You look so good.”

She did. Her memory was better and she had a “glow” of happiness that she never had for several years. I am going to try a week of patches on her right carotid artery and see what happens. Her natural product is in alcohol which acts as a vehicle to draw the herb into her system and her brain blood supply is what the right carotid artery supplies. What we are using is grown everywhere and is a common herb.

I got my RNPA to try Mullein for her runny nose .. nothing else she had tried worked. It scared her to make a green tea out of it but she did it. Worked. She is better and knew what had done it.

Why are natural products so unnatural to the educated?

From Andy Phil on March 23, 2011:

If you get under the weather don’t take any medications to suppress it, go from beginning to end through it.

From Nathan Green on March 25, 2011:

The most excellent supplements are protein. Supplements are what your muscles are prepared up of, and not getting enough can hamper your muscle building attempts. Thanks!

The WHO has placed the entire WORLD on a level 6 pandemic state. Read the documents of WHO and you will find it very clearly stated that they CAN force you to receive a vaccination against your will.

From Vitamins Online on May 13, 2011:

make sure you are eating a healthy diet and getting enough sleep. This will help build up your immune system and prevent you from getting sick.

From D.Legere on May 13, 2011:

How about these ideas,,a healthy diet,vigorous (did I spell that right?) exercise ,both cardio and weights,at least 3-4 times a week,sleep well,be in love,have a pet (dogs are great) and..3000-4000 I.U.s of Vit D3 per day.

From MySpace Layouts on June 10, 2011:

Finally make sure you aren’t eating a lot of simple carbs. White foods are basically the same thing as eating spoonfuls of sugar. White bread, white pasta, most cereals (that aren’t whole grain) are converted into simple sugars in your body. This spikes your insulin and makes you hungry. Instead eat some whole grains and healthy protein before you work out like beans, nuts, lean meat, fish, etc. Tuna is a healthy snack for people trying to lose weight and build muscle.
Hope this helped!

From Lam on July 04, 2011:

The book’s an interesting read. Thank you DeWitt for the update you posted 9 March 2011.

Couldn’t bring myself to dunk my head, nor drip hydrogen peroxide in my ears. But concluded it would be comfortable and safe to wipe away EAR wax with SKIN DISINFECTANT labelled, ‘Hydrogen Peroxide Solution 3%’, from the local supermarket. My fatigue relapse diminished within an hour - I suffered Chronic Fatigue a few years ago and, at times, suffer fatigue relapses that last many hours or days, following stressful incidents or extreme exercise.

Am much happier now that I’m able to function again.

Understand it’s purer to use ‘FOOD Grade Hydrogen Peroxide 3%’, available over the internet, but it would take a few days to arrive, and I couldn’t wait!

From Chiropractic Clearwater on July 11, 2011:

I wanted to thank you for this great read!! I definitely enjoying every little bit of it I have you bookmarked to check out new stuff you post…

For those who might want to try a cold shower, instead of getting “into” a cold shower, have a nice warm shower and then turn the nozzle to cold just before you get out for a refreshing pick-me-upper!

From Era Muss on July 22, 2011:

As a true believer in moderation in everything — from food to fitness to shopping — Hendricks says that maintaining her health really comes down to self-awareness. “We’re all really busy people and it’s hard sometimes to eat the right foods or drink the right thing or put the sunscreen on,” she explains. “We just have to constantly check in and gauge and moderate ourselves.”

From Desi yellow pages on July 23, 2011:

1. You need to increase your soy consumption. Scientific findings reveal that soy products can lower cholesterol level at the same time reducing the risk of acquiring cardiovascular diseases. For women, these products may help them control hot flashes and other menopausal symptoms. Soy comes from soy nuts, soybeans, tofu, and soy milk.
2. You must also increase fiber intake. Fiber is one of the most important nutrients that you must have as you age. It helps increase good cholesterol while lowering the bad cholesterol. It also helps regulate bowel movements, as it improves digestion. You can get fiber from fruits such as Acai berries, grapes, and apples; green leafy vegetables; whole-wheat cereals; and oatmeal. There are available fiber supplements if you want it to be handy all the time.

Destroy your PC. Toast it in the trash. Since it has radiation, it’ll work. Lol. We all spend a very long time facing computer. Totally not good for the health right? What about it?

From Barry Long on August 04, 2011:

Read more a lot health and fitness. Watch health videos or go shows about the latter. And lastly, never stay long in a relationship. It will only stress you.

From George on August 05, 2011:

Just read the book and I loved it! I’m 20 years old and I haven’t been sick since elementary school. I have 3 secrets, 2 of which were mentioned in the book: 1) Extremely positive attitude smile 2) I’m kinda a germophobe and wash my hands ridiculously often 3) I drink a surplus of water. This last one was not mentioned in book but I have a feeling it helps!

From Brady on August 11, 2011:

Staying healthy takes a little work. You need to eat right and exercise. If you don’t eat right, you need to take vitamin and mineral supplements like silver colloids to give your body the nutrients it needs. You also need to get out and do things recreational to stay mentally healthy.

From jon hudson on August 26, 2011:

Protein gives us the energy to get up and go—and keep going. Protein in food is broken down into the 20 amino acids that are the body’s basic building blocks for growth and energy, and essential for maintaining cells, tissues, and organs.

From Shine on October 19, 2011:

I like the “divorcing your husband” way.  But seriously for, sleeping right can really keep one healthy.  I noticed when I am not getting enough sleep, I can catch sickness easily.

Hello. And Bye Marry. IT was nice to see you at this sweet suger house.

From Joseph on January 26, 2012:

Besides the obvious (exercise and eating right, etc.) I am a big proponent of meditation as not only a method of stress-relief (which in and of itself can have profound effects on ones health) but as a great way to give you a “boost” of energy for the day. And plenty of green tea!

From Harry on January 28, 2012:

yes i agree with your secrets that you have discussed in post.. also take healthy food ...

From Bobby on February 03, 2012:

From David Morse on February 04, 2012:

I was impressed by all the responses to your request for more “Secrets” of people who never seem to get sick.  Most of them I totally agree with, (not gonna do the booger thing).  I can’t wait to get your book Gene, thanks for writing it!  It is about time someone took time to address this phenomenon.  I can’t say that I never get sick, but it is very infrequent and doesn’t last more than a couple days.  I always try to let my body’s natural defences, combat the sickness unless I suspect infection of some kind.  I believe in plenty of exercise, eating what you are hungry for but always in moderation, taking colloidal minerals, and keeping your dental hygiene in check.  I pretty much stay away from all medications and doctors.  Also, since we all know by now, mental health is directly tied into physical health, stay positive about everything.  Look for humor where ever you can and laugh as much as possible without annoying anyone.  Go to the church of your choice once a week.  Finally, did I mention exercise?  Well, let me say it again, and again.

I found the toilet bowl tip to be really funny. It’s amazing how many things we do every day that may cause us harm. Being knowledgeable about what can keep us healthy is half of the battle, don’t ya think?
