Holistic Health Questionnaire

From Michael Grant White 2016

Greetings and God bless you.

If the print is too small on the hard copy we give you please access a full size
version PDF at
http:://www.breathing.com/pdf/hhq.pdf

Just keep breathing a little deeper as you go through this incredibly LONG set of
questions. Do 5 Squeeze and breathes every 15 minutes. You may well answer
some of your long standing queries of your own just by filling out these forms.

Some may seem to repeat themselves. Answer them again anyway.

This program includes several aspects each of which has achieved weight loss,
freedom from fatigue and improved health and well being. I included them ALL
figuring that working as a team they have a much better chance of ensuring
success.

You should already have my Building Healthy Lungs Naturally. If not I encourage
you to get it at http://www.breathing.com/bhln.htm
If this get a little confusing or you wish deeper investigation and guidance then you
can always schedule a paid phone consultation.
Blessings,
Mike White

Because the best time for this test is immediately upon awakening in the morning, shake
down a thermometer
\\

Place a digital or mercury thermometer( shaken down) on the bedside table before going to bed.
Immediately upon awakening, place the thermometer snugly in the armpit for 10 minutes by
the clock. The normal basal temperature is between 97.9 and 98.1. A temperature below 97.8
indicates the possibility of low thyroid activity. Women: As the temperature varies with the
phases of the menstrual cycle, the first test should be made on the second and third days of
menstruation. Children: In young children rectal temperature can be taken: two minutes are
adequate. Oral temperatures are often misleading, because any respiratory infection, including
sinusitis, will elevate the mouth temperature while the rest of the body may be normal.

Recommend you read our booklet Grain Damage and see if you still want to consume
grains or starches.

1. Game seafood is fish caught also for sport. The large ones, including tuna. The larger the
fish the higher up the food chain and the increased odds of toxic mercury and other heavy
metals collecting in the fish.

PARASITES

The advent of air travel, population growth, cross cultural dietetics, housepets and stress has
invited a host of unwelcome guests into our bodies. The first major nationwide survey of
parasites diseases has revealed that one in every six people studied has one or more parasites
living somewhere in his or her body Ronald Lotulak Parasites, an Epidemic in Disguise.
You dont need an unhealthy diet to get them. They lodge in the intestines and sometimes all
throughout the body. They are transmitted through fecal fingers handling of foods, sex, un or
undercooked meats, poultry and fish, airborne insects (tse tse flies, mosquitoes, flies, fleas),
animals, and drinking or bathing-water. You eliminate them by ensuring a clean eating
environment, colon hygienics, immune system strengthening and various programs for parasite
elimination. They are tough little critters. Stool tetss traditionally test only for specific parasites
they look for. If you have others they will not be detected.
According to Louis Parrish, M. D., parasites are varying in their pathological potential from
those that are benign-15%; create ignorable symptoms-25% ; to those that compromise quality of
life-55%.
Parasite questionnaire:
Have you ever developed diarrhea or abdominal distress while visiting a foreign country
of another part of the U.S.?_____

Is the consistency of your bowel movements changeable -sometimes hard and then soft

 METABOLIC BALANCING:
The Tools, and How to Use Them

We learn about our metabolism through observation of the sequential charting of urine
pH. This means that over the course of a day, we use pH paper to determine the acid/alkaline
changes of the urine. At first, testing should be done at each urination, as frequently as possible,
especially when you experience changes in your physical, mental and/or emotional state.

pH paper is chemically treated paper that turns color when exposed to a solution. The
specific color depends on the acid/alkaline value of the solution, yellow being acid and green to
blue being alkaline. This value is determined on a color chart, which accompanies the pH paper.

To use the paper, tear off a short piece and test midstream urine. Immediately compare
the color change of the pH paper with the color chart and record the numerical value on the pH
chart according to the time of day. Test only midstream urine as dilution with water will change
the reading towards the alkaline values.

Chemically speaking, 7 is considered to be neutral pH. However, for urine, 6 (6.2, to be

precise) is considered biologically neutral, with anything below 6 being acid and anything above
6 being alkaline.

A daily pH chart (see Appendix A) is used to graph the pH value according to the time of
day when the urine is tested. As you begin the program, testing should be done at the time of
each urination, as frequently as possible (at least four or more times a day). As you collect
readings, connect the points with lines to create a pattern. A general pattern will emerge.

As you observe, you will begin to see that you generally feel better in one particular pH
range. This experience of comfort can change with the time of day, eating (or not eating), and
with certain activities (rest or physical exercise). Be sure to note any such changes in these
factors under the description column.

The description column provides a place for you to list the general types of foods that you
consume. It will indicate the frequency of your eating pattern. If you or your health practitioner
suspect that you have food allergies, then it is even more valuable for you to take the time to note
in detail your dietary intake. Notice the connection between your dietary habits, your pH, and
how you feel.

The indicator boxes under G (Good) and B (Bad) are there for you to mark as your
general health experience. They provide you with an easy visual reference tool with which to
correlate your pH pattern with how you feel.

The pH range in which you are most free of symptoms, will indicate to you your comfort
range. Outside of the range of comfort, you will often begin to experience more of your
symptoms (i.e. headache, fatigue, depression or pain of pain of any sort). This generally
indicates that you have moved out of your comfort zone and have moved into an imbalance. An
imbalance is considered an extreme pH in which you begin to manifest symptoms. This
indicates metabolic dysfunction. The point at which you move out of your comfort range is
considered your point of departure.

 pH Balance

One of the most important processes in the body is the process by which the pH balance
is maintained. The pH involves the Hydrogen ion. An ion is an atom of some particular element
which has lost most of its parts or gained some extra ones. If an atom gains electrons, it
develops a negative charge (anion). If an atom gains protons, it develops a positive charge
(cation). A positive Hydrogen ion has just one proton. The involvement of this Hydrogen ion in
the nutrition of the body is so important that a special means of measuring it was developed and
called the pH scale. The pH scale is an easy way of measuring this amount. Scientists have
established the pH scale from 0-14. Thus, a solution having a pH of 0 has no ability to attract
Hydrogen ions. Remember p stands for potential and H stands for Hydrogen the potential
of the solution to attract Hydrogen ions. If the scale runs from 0-14, then 7 is the mid-point. A
pH above 7 is alkaline in nature, and a pH below 7 is acid. Distilled water has a pH of 7, or is
neutral. Vinegar has a pH of less than 7, and is therefore an acid. Baking soda has a pH greater
than 7, and is therefore an alkaline.

Each solution in your body has its proper pH, and if its pH gets too far out of balance, the
secretion or solution loses its effectiveness to assimilate or absorb minerals and vitamins.
Enzymes are also affected by the pH of the solution in which they are contained. If you are not
properly absorbing nutrients from the food you eat, then poor health is going to result. For
example, if your body is too alkaline you will have trouble picking up and absorbing IRON.
You could take tons of it and it would just go through the body and never be utilized and you
could be constantly fatigued. If the pH is too acid, a similar problem applies. Blood has a pH of
7.4 and a variance of just a few tenths of its pH, 4 to be precise, can cause a coma or death.
Doctors such as Dr. Allen Nittler, M.D., and Dr. Cary Rheems have stated that on a proper
balanced diet, the healthiest people would have a pH of 6.35 to 6.85. So they use 6.4 and 6.5 as
the correct metabolic balance of both the urine and saliva. The urine pH is indicative of the
balance or imbalance of both the acid and alkaline enzymes in the stomach and the intestines.
The saliva pH is indicative of the condition of the liver, Lymphatic System and the pancreatic
enzymes.

The pH scale I recommend is:

SALIVA pH, ranges from 6.4 to 6.9 (more alkaline).
URINE pH, ranges from 6.4 to 5.9 (more acid).

The spread between the two in a very healthy person should be 0. A healthy persons Urine pH
should be 6.4, and their Saliva pH should read 6.4. Remember that is only if they are
HEALTHY. If they are recovering from illness, you should bring the pHs within .5 of each
other. For example, if the Saliva pH is 6.4 the Urine pH should be 5.9, or if the Saliva pH is 6.8,
the Urine pH should be 6.3, etc. The Urine pH should always be more acid than the saliva.
When the pHs have a slight spread, it means the body is de-toxing. If the spread is too far apart,
the person is not digesting or assimilating nutrients correctly. Sometimes the pHs will even
crossover, this of course is very undesirable, e.g. a Saliva pH of 6.1 and a Urine pH of 6.8. You
want to open those up and spread them apart as soon as possible. When a persons pHs read
Urine 5.9, Saliva 6.4, and they are having a difficult time relaxing or even appear hyper you need
to throw the pHs more alkaline and keep the spread, if the person is recovering. When a
persons pHs read Urine 6.4 and Saliva 6.9, and the person feels sluggish, you need to swing the
pHs more acid and keep the spread if the person is recovering.

 PH Scale of Acidic Reaction

ACID ALKALINE

Total Very Moderate Slight Slight Moderate Very Total

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14

Three Sources of Acid

1. Fruits Contain organic acid the body can eliminate through the lungs.
Contribute to the alkaline reserve.
Put little stress on the body.

2. Cellular Activity Produces weak acid that can be eliminated through the lungs.
Does not stress the body excessively.

3. Acid-Producing Foods Leave strong acids.

Must be neutralized before being eliminated through kidneys
or colon.
Are highly stressful to the body.
Take minerals from the alkaline reserve.

 *Things to Avoid Some Suggestions:
Sometimes just avoiding the things that are destructive to the system has brought about heath.
The things we dont do can be more important than the things we do.

AVOID: TAP WATER, including its use for teas, soups or the like. This means processed
city water.

AVOID: Frozen CONCENTRATES.

AVOID: POTATO or CORN CHIPS and the like, the oil is almost always rancid.

AVOID: anything ARTIFICIAL: colors, flavors, preservatives, or foods.

AVOID: most PROCESSED, packaged, frozen, or canned foods. Many additives are not
included on the label, so you will not know you are getting them.

AVOID: all DIET foods. The chemicals used such as Nutri-Sweet are both dangerous and
hazardous to your health. In fact saccarine is the least offensive to the energy
field.

AVOID: SODA POPS. There are at least 13 spoons of sugar in your average soft drink.
The natural fruit juice drinks with seltzer are a very tasty substitute. However,
moderation is always the key to good health.

AVOID: believing that something is OK for you just because you bought it at the Health
Food Store. Junk food is found everywhere.

AVOID: eating out too often in RESTAURANTS. Many chemicals are used in the typical
restaurants, for flavor and keeping salads crisp etc. The prime objective is to
reduce costs, not to protect your health.

AVOID: eating REFINED items such as sugar, white flour, chocolate, most carob-covered
things, candy bars, most cookies, cakes, pies, etc. (there are healthy versions.)

AVOID: using DISTILLED vinegars. Use cold pressed and naturally fermented.

AVOID: ALUMINUM containing substances. These include pickles with alum, most
toothpaste, most digestive remedies, such as Tums. Most deodorants, ordinary
salt, most baking powders, and of course aluminum pots, pans, and foil.
Aluminum appears to be biotoxic increasing rate of aging, increasing skin
wrinkles, etc.

AVOID: OVER-INDULGENCE of any kind. MODERATION is the key to good health.

 Are You Eating Enough Alkaline Foods to Maintain Vital Health?

This chart provides information that shows the contribution of various food substances to the acidifying
of body fluids, and ultimately, to the urine, saliva, and blood. In general, it is important to eat a diet
that contains foods from both sides of the chart.

Allergic reactions and other forms of stress tend to produce acids in the body. The presence of high
acidity indicates that more of your foods should be selected from the alkalizing group.

You may find it useful to check your pH using litmus paper from your local drug store in order to find
out if your selection is providing the desired balance. Ask your druggist for pH paper strips

People vary, but for most, the ideal diet is 85 percent alkalizing and 15 percent acidifying
foods by volume.
