Lessons from Jon Barron
Baseline of Health Concept In Action
In this week's excerpt from Lessons from the Miracle Doctors, Jon Barron provides real world examples of the Baseline of Health concept in action.
"Now let's take a look at Baseline of Health concept in action. As an example, we'll track the case history of Jim, an average forty-year-old. Below, on the left, is Jim's Personal Health Line at birth:
As we can see from Jim's line, he was born with a slight weakness (either genetic or as a result of his parents' lifestyle and environment) in his circulatory system. Note also that, at birth, Jim is in relatively good health and is symptom free (since no point on his Personal Health Line dips below the Line of Symptoms). Over the forty years of his life, however, Jim has contributed to that weakness in his heart and circulatory system because of a diet high in hydrogenated oils (trans-fats) and refined carbohydrates, a folic acid deficiency, a low pH (acidic body fluids and tissues), and heavy free radical damage, to the point where his Personal Health Line has dipped below the Line of Symptoms and he has begun to experience symptoms such as shortness of breath and minor chest pains.
A friend of Jim's suggests that he try an antioxidant supplement. Since the antioxidant addresses one of Jim's problems (free radical damage), Jim's Personal Health Line, as we can see in the chart below on the left, once again rises above the Line of Symptoms (even if just by a little bit) and all of Jim's visible symptoms disappear.
"It's a miracle! All of my symptoms are gone. I'm cured. If you have any heart problems or any health problems at all, you must try this supplement." Jim is so excited, he decides to promote the antioxidant company as a network marketing distributor and proceeds to sell his miracle cure to everyone he meets. One day, he talks to Mary, who, as we can see in the chart above on the right, also has heart problems. Like Jim, Mary was also born with a predilection to heart problems, and like Jim she has managed to exacerbate that problem through folic acid deficiency, low pH, and a high-stress work environment on Wall Street.
Jim convinces Mary to buy a supply of his "miracle" antioxidant and, as recommended by Jim, Mary starts gulping down handfuls of her daily dose But unlike Jim, Mary has very little free radical damage because she eats a Mediterranean diet with olive oil and red wine—two foods that, over the years, have mitigated any free radical damage. The net result is that Mary notices no change in her condition.
Mary now proceeds to tell Jim that he's crazy, that whatever benefit he got from the antioxidant was purely a placebo effect, and that it's a waste of money. Of course, later on, when Mary enters a stress management program, or has heart bypass surgery, she tells everyone that she's found the real cure for heart disease and recommends to all her friends that they do the same. It's worth noting that the antioxidant did, as indicated by the arrows in the chart above, significantly improve the overall level of her Personal Health Line, but since Mary didn't feel any difference, she incorrectly assumed that she had received no benefit.
The bottom line is that the same supplement used by two different people for the same condition produced two entirely different results. What does that mean? It means that gulping down "miracle" herbs and supplements to treat disease is like trying to hit a clay pigeon in the sky with a 22-caliber rifle... while blindfolded. The odds are very much against you.
The secret to health, the secret to all the success that the great alternative healers share, is that they look to raise every inch of a person's Personal Health Line. If you do that, if you raise the entire line, the odds are in your favor. In fact, it's almost impossible to miss."
