+ + + + + Information About Lon's Vital Health Concepts + + + + +

The founder and president of ABC's of Health, Inc., Lon Willoughby (pronounced Will-o-be), has developed a practical balanced approach to achieving a healthy living lifestyle in a cost-effective economical manner. Lon is 72 years of age and he still enjoys good health with no aches or pains, and he does not take any prescription drugs. His vital health statistics look like a healthy 30-year old although Lon had developed some very serious health problems before he was 35 years of age. After going to medical doctors for many years and getting progressively worse throughout those years, Lon decided to study natural holistic health-care books in an effort to understand why his health had deteriorated so much.

Lon began his study of health-care issues more than 30 years ago. His college level science training enabled him to study health-care issues in a systematic scientific manner. After reading numerous books about natural health-care concepts and protocols, Lon gradually learned how to take charge of his own health-care. He developed a much better understanding of how the body functions and what conditions enable it to function well.

His health-care studies enabled Lon to learn that he had been eating too many of the wrong foods, cooked the wrong way (pan fried, deep-fat fried, grilled - open-flame cooked), and eating too many sweets (cake, cookies, candy, jam, jelly, pie, sugar in coffee, etc.). He also learned that drinking carbonated beverages daily had been contributing to his excessive sugar consumption (10 to 14 tsp per bottle) and had also caused severe pH imbalance in his body fluids. The acidic drinks (coffee, black tea, and carbonated beverages) and an excessive amount of foods that leave an acidic residue in the body (flesh foods and foods from grains) had been causing pH imbalance problems in Lon's body for many years.

Those conditions had contributed to poor hydration of billions of body cells daily throughout those years and had also caused a deficiency of oxygen transport to all of Lon's body cells. The chronic pH imbalance condition had also contributed to substantial bone deterioration due to loss of calcium and magnesium. Lon eventually learned that his autonomic nervous system uses calcium and magnesium from bones whenever needed to help balance and maintain the blood fluid pH at the critical level of 7.40 + 0.05. This situation is a major reason why many people have developed weak bones at a relatively young age - osteoporosis is very common in America.

Over a period of many years, Lon's ongoing health-care studies enabled him to eventually put the pieces of the very complex health puzzle together sufficiently to understand why his previously healthy body had deteriorated so much by the time he was forty years of age. In essence, he learned that he had been on the common sad American diet (SAD) for many years. This is basically a 'junk food diet' (foods and beverages), and Lon did not understand that his common American lifestyle (the good life) was gradually causing severe damage to important body functions.

Looking back at that situation, it is important to observe that no one in the education systems had warned Lon about this situation. No one in the medical profession had ever asked him any questions about his diet or had given him any clue that his common American lifestyle (foods and beverages) might be a substantial contributing factor to the very serious health problems that had developed. Consequently, Lon's health continued to get worse during the ten years that he consulted various medical doctors about his obviously deteriorating health.

Lon is a natural born American citizen who completed 12 years of public school education, and completed substantial training in the military (four years in the U.S. Air Force), and completed several years of college education, and also completed a lot of U.S. government sponsored technical training at the FAA Academy in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and other FAA training facilities. (FAA = Federal Aviation Administration).

How could it be possible that through all of that education (18+ years), no one had ever mentioned that a person should be careful in choosing foods to eat and beverages to drink because:

1) the human body is very sensitive to the amount of sugar that gets into the blood system and

2) pH considerations are vital health-care knowledge because the pH of body fluids can affect the vitality of many body functions and can also dramatically affect long-term health and wellbeing.

Throughout all of those years of Lon's education, no one had explained how the body responds to sugar consumption - sugar, desserts, fruits, and other foods that quickly convert into blood sugar [glucose] - such as white flour bread products, carrots, cereals, corn, pasta, potatoes, rice, etc. In all of Lon's education, no one had explained how excessive glucose in the blood can cause severe stress for the body's glucose metabolism and stabilization functions, and this can substantially affect brain functions - alertness, sleepiness, anxiety levels, nervousness, depression, low energy level, poor work performance, poor learning ability, poor memory and recall of stored information.

Excessive glucose in the blood system can also affect safety because too much glucose to the blood system can cause people to be more accident prone at work or home and while driving vehicles or operating other machinery. This can occur because the pancreas may be forced to produce too much insulin in the body's automatic effort to bring the glucose level down into the "normal range" and too much insulin can then cause the glucose level to go below normal. That situation can substantially affect the person's performance capability.

A significantly diminished glucose level can cause a person to get sleepy while driving a vehicle or be accident prone while performing other tasks - cannot think clearly or react as quickly as would be "normal" for that person. One can have diminished mental and emotional capabilities until the glucose level in the blood returns to the normal range (anger, frustration, irritability, lack of patience, etc.). Think for a moment about all the people who get sleepy after eating too much food at a Thanksgiving day meal, or any other big meal - blood sugar (glucose) level may go too high. The pancreas then reacts to produce sufficient insulin to help metabolize the excess glucose; however, if the glucose level gradually goes too low (30 minutes to 3 hours or so), the low blood sugar condition can then cause the person to become sleepy.

Those frustrating conditions used to happen to Lon one or more times a day for many years and they got progressively worse (more severe) as the years went by. Lon had no idea what was causing his mental and emotional impairment on a recurring basis, and none of the doctors that he consulted offered any information about what might be causing these disturbing and dangerous conditions. It took years for Lon to learn that he had a condition known as hypoglycemia (substantial changes in blood sugar levels dramatically affecting one's performance capabilities). It then took many more years for Lon to learn how to get his health back to normal because he could not find anyone in the medical field who seemed to understand anything at all about his symptoms.

Looking back at those many years of suffering daily with progressively worsening health problems, from his present vantage point of advanced natural holistic health-care knowledge, Lon is appalled and dismayed that the American education systems are so grossly inadequate in helping students understand the basic vital health-care concepts related above. It is clear to Lon that everyone needs to understand these essential health-care concepts at a basic practical level. However, Lon's extensive education experiences proved conclusively that these vital nutrition concepts are usually ignored, as if it really doesn't matter much what a student eats or drinks or how it is cooked or how various foods are combined in the stomach at a meal.

The truth is, these factors are very important. They matter because they can make a huge difference in how a student or an adult is able to function and perform over the period of one day or one week or during a lifetime.

Sadly, Lon's substantial experiences in the health-care field (more than ten years) found that very few people understand the importance of these vital health-care concepts - not even medical doctors, nurses, school teachers (public and private), business owners and managers, etc. Consequently, among advanced countries, Americans are some of the sickest people on Planet Earth. Lon Willoughby used to be one of those sick people, but he is a healthy person now because he gradually learned about vital health concepts that eventually enabled him to help his body systems restore their natural health.

Please take a moment to consider what business entities profit from massive public ignorance about these vital health-care concepts - fast food and junk food producers, the sugar industry, the medical profession in general, the pharmaceutical industry in general, health insurance companies, and many other 'health-care' related businesses. Perhaps those 'monetary considerations' are a substantial factor in why there is such a widespread deficiency in our education systems about teaching students the vital health-care concepts related briefly above.

Could those powerful economic (and political) interests affect how text books are written regarding health-care issues? Could those same economic interests influence what information our medical school students, nursing school students, and other college level students are taught about health-care nutrition concepts? Or conversely, did this widespread ignorance about vital health-care concepts just accidentally happen and accidentally continue to exist for so many years in our public schools and colleges - in spite of our continuing advancements in knowledge about such important natural health-care issues?

Lon believes the vital health-care concepts discussed briefly above should be taught to all students in America (in grammar school classes and again in higher level classes). He understands that students need to learn how to make wise selections of foods and beverages (at each meal or snack) to:

1. avoid consuming items that will likely produce excessive glucose in the blood system (for the reasons mentioned above), and

2. avoid consuming an excessive amount of acid residue producing foods and beverages because this can cause pH imbalance in the blood and other body fluids - will likely cause calcium, magnesium, potassium, and sodium (alkalizing minerals) to be confiscated from bones and tissue to quickly restore the proper pH level in the blood (improve oxygen transport efficiency and avoid a heart attack).

Students need to have a basic understanding of the importance of pH balance in the body and how to help the body maintain the proper pH levels in body fluids. The students that are taught these vital health concepts will have a tremendous advantage in their life that is worth more than all the money on the planet. Please think about the advantages in life that will come to you by simply learning how to apply these vital health concepts in your life on a daily basis. It is fantastic and incredible!

Taking Control of Your Health

Lon understands that it is very important for people to learn how to take control of their own health, and he encourages people to begin this exciting and exceptionally rewarding lifelong venture as soon as possible. In order to help many people learn about his ABC's of Health concepts, Lon started a health store and health education business in 1998 so he could introduce customers to some of his healthy lifestyle concepts.

He eventually developed this special knowledge into a health-care science that involves several important health parameters. He still briefly shares some of this information with customers freely on an 'as needed' basis where the customer's time schedule and Lon's time schedule permit; however, it takes several hours for him to share most of his vital health-care concepts with a person in an organized manner that is easy to understand Consequently, he started providing health counseling sessions for his clients to help them learn about several very important health-care concepts easily and quickly (one to six hours of Lon's time) - depending upon their ability and willingness to learn and their willingness to pay for advanced level training.

Due to substantial overhead expenses (several thousand dollars per month) to operate his health store, Lon must charge reasonable fees for his health-care counseling sessions. He has dedicated many years of his life to increasing his knowledge about many important health-care issues; consequently, he must still earn sufficient money each month to pay his business expenses so he can keep his health store open and continue helping as many people as possible.

His exceptionally valuable counseling services enable his serious-minded clients to get on the fast track to better health - they can learn how to obtain more energy, vitality, brainpower, and wellness quickly, in a cost-effective manner. He helps these clients learn how to take charge of their health by sharing his extensive vital health-care concepts knowledge. His consultation clients are thereby enabled to quickly gain more control over many important body functions and processes that have likely been operating in a confused, disorganized, and poorly functioning manner - digestion deficiencies, inadequate elimination of waste, improper pH balance of body fluids, poor food combining at meal time, improper choices of cooking methods, improper consumption of fluids (water and beverages), inadequate vital nutrients in diet, inadequate enzymes of various types, inadequate beneficial flora - probiotics in the intestinal system, clogged up liver, clogged up kidneys, exhausted adrenal glands, too much stress in lifestyle, unhealthy negative thought patterns, poorly functioning immune system, inadequate personal body hygiene, etc.

Chief Executive Officer of Your Body

Lon developed the vital health concept that each adult is the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of their very complex and delicate body system, and the value of each being is worth more than all of the money on Planet Earth. Think about that statement for a few moments: your mental and physical being cannot be replaced by spending any amount of money. You are a very special being and you are unique in the universe. So how important is it for you to learn how to take much better care of your health? When should you begin in earnest to improve your knowledge about vital health concepts and begin to use them in your daily life?

Ask yourself this question: How good am I as a body system manager? Your ability to manage your complex body system will have a lot of effect on your health and vitality each day for the rest of your life. Your health knowledge can have a lot of effect on how long you will be able to live in good health with vitality, free of pain and disease conditions.
