The Four Pillars of Healing address all areas of Health. The Pillars of Healing were formulated and eloquently discussed by Dr. Leo Galland, an internist practicing integrated medicine in New York City. His book called “Power Healing” should be read. The Four Pillars of Healing are:
1. Relationships – The first pillar deals with the person's interaction with others: family, in the workplace, in groups, spiritual and religious beliefs.
2. Diet and Lifestyle – This pillar deals with maintaining a healthy diet and regular exercise and recommends the following:
- Intake of a nutrient dense, properly balanced mixture of macronutrients (carbohydrates, proteins and fats)
- Intake of a variety of colourful fruits and vegetables that are rich in antioxidants
- Intake of nutritional supplements designed to give optimal amounts of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants and appropriate essential fatty acids as well as other nutrients to support memory and energy
- Regular exercise with a balanced emphasis on aerobic fitness, strength and flexibility
3. The Environment – Included in this pillar are the many factors to which a person can be exposed:
· Allergic and reactive foods
· Infections: bacterial, viral, fungal
· Toxic metals: lead, mercury, cadmium, aluminum, tin, arsenic etc.
· Toxic foods: such as sugar, refined carbohydrates, hydrogenated fats, too much saturated fat, food additives and colouring agents
· Xenobiotics: such as petrochemicals, pesticides, herbicides
· Fumes from perfumes and molds
· Exposure to pollen, dust mites, molds, animal dander (from the air, carpets, bedding, basements, old musty books etc, etc.)
· Exposure to gastrointestinal toxins generated by the gut flora from alcohol, ammonia, amines, bacterial cell wall debris and other gut metabolic products
4. Detoxification – Enhancing and optimizing the body's ability to manage increased body burden of toxic metals and xenobiotics, as mentioned above, is important. Detoxification could involve a variety of methods that include:
· Liver detoxification (enzyme driven)
· Gastrointestinal “cleansing”
· Sauna treatment for Xenobiotic detoxification
· Chelation therapy for heavy metal body burden and removal of excessive calcium from atherosclerotic plaque
Attention to all these areas will result in a much healthier you.
