In this section I will share The Wellness Protocol. This is what I consider to essential for truly healthy living and being the best you can be! This is true wellness addressing all the most important issues that you need to function properly.

I have implemented this protocol as part of the treatment plan for a wide range of clinical problems. The Wellness Protocol is exceptionally effective! We have seen it work time and time again within the Practice. People often ask what do I do? What do I take? How often do I drink water? What supplements do I use? - Well here it is.

If you are under care, or want to improve your level of wellbeing then you need to implement this Protocol to get the best results. The Wellness Protocol will help you normalise your weight, control your appetite, reduce blood pressure, reduce your pain levels and make you feel a heck of lot healthier!

If you a person who is looking for a way to improve your health and wellbeing then this is for you. Likewise if you have a chronic illness or disease, even cancer, then you need to implement this strategy immediately. And use this protocol as the basis from which other treatments can build upon.

There are 7 Parts to the Emed Wellness Protocol:

1. Health Promoting Nutrition
2. Optimal Water Intake
3. Multimineral and Multivitamin Supplementation
4. Balanced Fatty Acid Supplementation
5. Reculturing the Bowel
6. Stretching and Exercise
7. Regular Musculoskeletal Care

Nutrients are required in the proper amounts, forms, and approximate ratios for essential physiologic function; if nutrients are lacking, the body cannot function normally, let alone optimally. Impaired function results in subjective and objective manifestations of what is commonly labelled as "disease."

A powerful and effective alternative to treating diseases with drugs is to re-establish normal/optimal physiologic function by replenishing the body with essential nutrients.

Of course, many diseases are multi-factorial and therefore require multi-component treatment plans, and some diseases actually require the use of drugs. However, while only a relatively small portion of people actually need drugs for their problems, the best solution for long term wellbeing is to be proactive about health, rather than being reactive.

The Wellness Protocol Summary

Provide your body with the best nutritional protocol for optimal health and wellbeing. Make sure you a covering the basic nutritional building blocks essential for optimal health. If you want the basics of the program, here it is:

• Increase sources of lean protein within your diet - preferably fish, chicken, whey, soy and nuts. You will need about 1.5 to 2 grams of protein per kilo of body weight. For more information about nutrition click here.
• Eat every 2 to 3 hours while you are awake. Make sure each meal has a good protein source and unprocessed carbohydrates. For more information about protein and carbohydrates click here.
• Drink enough water. You will need 20 mls per kilo of body weight. More if it's hot or you sweat. For more information about the correct amount of water to drink click here.
• Use a comprehensive Multimineral and Multivitamin such as Tresos B or Multi Essentials. For the Best Multimineral and Multivitamins click here.
• Use an essential fatty acid such as EPA/DHA and Flaxseed Oil. For the best Fish Oils click here.
• Reculture the bowel at least every 6 months. For the best Probiotics click here.
• Consider a source of Magnesium such as Ultra Muscleze if you have any musculoskeletal problems or heart problems. For the best magnesium and muscle relaxants click here.
• Get a regular Musculoskeletal Care. Regular musculoskeletal care has to be the "lynch-pin" of any wellness program. Your central nervous system and your musculoskeletal system (muscles/tendons/ligaments) must be in good working order to feel well. If the central nervous system does not work correctly - nothing will. For more information on why you need regular Musculoskeletal Care click here.
• Consider the use of Glucosamine and MSM if you have arthritis, you are an athlete or you have "worn" joints. For the best Glucosamine and anti-arthritic formulas click here.
• Use CoEnzyme Q10 if you are on any blood pressure medication. For the best CoEnzyme Q10 products click here.

Health promoting nutrition means that you need to eat generous quantities of fruits, vegetables (good sources of carbohydrates), nuts, seeds, and berries. But they must also be combined with good sources of protein and I will explain why a little later.

Good sources of protein are lean meats such as cold water fish, chicken and turkey. I also advocate soy protein and whey protein for their high-quality, anti-cancer, cardioprotective, and mood-enhancing benefits.

Doing this will keep your metabolism ticking along quite nicely, you wont get hungry, your blood sugar levels will remain stable and you wont feel tired!

Without a regular supply of it you can get fatigued, headaches and joint problems. What is it? It's not aspirin! It's the latest new wonder drug: pure water.

And, when the temperature is soaring, it's more important than ever to make sure you're well hydrated.  However, everyone is different, and the old '8 glasses a day' idea may not be right for you.  Read on to find out exactly how much is right for you.

A good multimineral and multivitamin does more than simply 'topping up' with the nutrients you don't get from your food. In fact, using a good multi can reduce risk of chronic disease, improve moods and alleviate migraines. It sure pays off in the long run.

Proper levels of good bacteria promote intestinal health, proper immune function and support overall health. But with so many probiotic supplements on the market, it's easy to buy an inferior product. This article will help you find the best one that is suited to your needs.

Unfortunately most people suffer from "ED". That is not short for Erectile Dysfunction, but another term for Exercise Deficiency or Exercise Debt.

Most of the two-thirds of the country who are overweight and millions of others with high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes, desperately need more exercise to control their underlying condition

Any Wellness Protocol must include the proper functioning of your central nervous system (nerves) and your musculoskeletal system (muscles/tendons/ligaments). 

Some people find that physiotherapy works for them, for others it is a chiropractor or osteopath. Some find that massage or myotherapy is the key while others enjoy the benefit of chinese medine, acupuncture and cupping.

Whatever your choice, whatever your preference - find a practitioner that works for you and stick with them.

New research is starting to show what we have been seeing in the practices for years. Those under regular care are healthier!
