It is our goal to help persons understand that there are eight (8) laws of health that if simply adapted in our daily lives we can preserve, correct, and if not addressed too late, can even reverse illness or disease.
Back2Eden health is wealth believes that life is an never-ending learning cycle; therefore it is our responsibility as we learn of ways to improve the quality of our lives through “health reform” that we share these principles in the simplest way that every person may understand.
It is our intention that throughout this educational journey our viewers would:
- Understand the conditions necessary for health!

Health Education: Health is Wealth
Some special educational features that we seek to shed light on are:
- The cleansing or detoxing function of the body.
- The nutritional function of the body. Providing your body with what it needs to work optimally.
- The highly recommended 21-day detox methodology” through the use of natural herbs and foods that are considered the most effective way of cleansing and ridding the body from harmful substances while also nourishing that particular system or organ.
Back2Eden health is wealth embraces the statement “let your food be your medicine and your medicine your food” by Hippocrates. We therefore strongly encourage the use of a plant-based palatable diet as the original diet given to mankind by our Creator, God! We at Back2EdenLifestyle believe that “Health is Wealth”! Although this is also established by “good science” we have personally experienced that a meat-less diet or better known as a plant-based diet together with practicing of the 8 laws of health, is the best lifestyle to invest in, to not only improve ones’ health but more importantly to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Therefore persons seeking to improve and maintain health must be intentional in exercising the “willingness to forgo present pleasure for future good”
Introducing the 8 Laws of Health - The Foundation of a Healthy Lifestyle
We have expounded on the importance of cleansing/detoxing, and we have gain a better understanding on the various aspects that expose us to toxins. It’s time for us to dig a little deeper . God has provided an antidote for disease in simple plants which can be used with no denial of faith for by using the blessings provided by God we cooperate with Him. We cannot only place emphasis on the antidotes without spending equal time introducing the EIGHT DOCTORS and the role they play in keeping the nutritive and cleansing action of the body in perfect balance. The relationship between the two is like the Old and New Testament. You cannot accept the one and neglect the other, for together they form a perfect whole.
All the laws of health are important because they either help the body make good blood, or help purify the blood, or help make sure the blood gets to all parts of the body unhindered. It would not do much good if you had pure blood that did not circulate freely and nourish all parts of your body. So the main goal as far as aiming at perfect health is to have pure blood and perfect circulation. Let’s look briefly at each of the eight laws and see how they relate to the secret of good health.
LEARN How to Maintain Your Health Using NEWSTART: The 8 Laws of Health:
• N - Nutrition
• E - Exercise
• W - Water
• S - Sunlight
• T - Temperance
• A - Air
• R - Rest
• T - Trust in God

Nutrition
Truth be told many people have actually reversed disease by doing nothing more than changing their diet. Generally speaking, the decisions we make that most affect our health have to do with the food we eat. While all foods provide nutrients and energy, some can cause disorders and diseases; while others bring health and healing. Hence it is vital to understand foods well in order to select those that maintain our health! “Let food be your medicine and medicine be your food.” – Hippocrates

B2EL Health is Wealth Presents: The Cleansing Function
There is one major cause of disease, and this is acidosis (low pH). The major cause for acidosis is putrefaction of fecal waste reabsorbed into your system, this causes toxemia which means dirty blood. A poor diet, poor digestion, sluggish colon, reduced function in the liver, and dismal elimination from the kidneys all lead to increased toxicity and lack of oxygen at the cellular level.
Considering that cleansing is the most important yet most overlooked part of any effective healing protocol, we at Back2EdenLifestyle (B2EL) seek to assist in this (cleansing/detox) process.
Detoxification is the process of clearing toxins from the body, neutralizing or transforming them, and clearing excess mucus and congestion.
The process of detoxification like any other process has an intelligent order, or as some may call it a highly recommended sequence to follow:
i. Colon Cleanse
ii. Parasite Cleanse
iii. Kidney Cleanse
iv. Liver/Gallbladder Cleanse
v. Lung Cleanse
vi. Lymphatic Cleanse
vii. Blood Cleanse
B2EL Health is Wealth Presents: Body Functions - The Nutritive Function
In Genesis Chapter 1:29 we read the following: “And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat”
So God, who is our Creator, who made our body so wonderfully knew what diet is best for us. He appointed us our food that when used in a palatable manner would give our bodies the nutrition that is necessary for the proper functioning of this human machinery called our “body”.
As we partake of our original diet (plant-based food) our bodies will get (first hand) the necessary vitamins and minerals in the right balance for efficient absorption and utilization by the body which in-turn preserves and or improves health in collaboration with the keeping of the 8 laws of health.
When a large variety of whole plant based foods are sufficiently combined and included in the diet the nutrients needed for optimum health are usually supplied. However, to avoid deficiency, vitamins, mineral supplements are readily available. Below we will touch on the most important vitamins and minerals the body needs to adequately fulfill its nutritive role.
B2EL Health is Wealth Presents: Health & Toxicity
When we get an unhealthy buildup of toxins in our body, it’s not pretty. These excess toxins will cause physical and mental health issues like chronic fatigue, headaches, insomnia and diseases. Many of these toxins come from things you use or consume everyday like food, water, beauty and personal care products and the environment. If you’re wondering why it’s so important to cleanse and detox your body, take a look below.
You’ll see that there are many harsh pollutants and harmful pesticides in our environment that should not stay in your body. Since our body organs work together to help eliminate these trapped toxins, it’s important that they’re all healthy and in working order. The liver, kidneys, colon, lungs, skin and lymphatic system are especially useful and important when it comes to cleansing the body.
The Seven Toxicities:
This information is taken from the book; “Cancer step outside the box, by Ty Bollinger”. However, the information quoted concerning the 7 toxicities is authored by Dr. Buttar”:
1. Heavy Metals
2. Persistent Organic Pollution
3. Oppurtunistics
4. Energetic Toxicity
5. Food Toxicity
6. Emotional Toxicity
7. Spiritual Toxicity

Ischemic Heart Disease
The world’s biggest killer is ischemic heart disease, responsible for 16% of the world’s total deaths. Since 2000, the largest increase in deaths has been for this disease, rising by more than 2 million to 8.9 million deaths in 2019. Ischemic heart disease is a condition of recurring chest pain or discomfort that occurs when a part of the heart does not receive enough blood. This condition occurs most often during exertion or excitement, when the heart requires greater blood flow. The chance of suffering an infarction increases with age. This increment is significant in men over 45 years and women over 55. This age difference between men and women regarding the onset of greater risk is due to the influence of hormones on the blood vessels. Signs and symptoms of ischemic heart disease…..

Lung Cancer
This cancer is the most common form of cancer that kills both men and women. Nearly 200,000 people die of lung cancer yearly.
There are two types: small-cell (oat cell) and large cell lung cancer. The small-cell type, commonly found in smokers, grows rapidly and quickly spreads to other parts of the body. About 75% of lung cancer are of the large-cell type.
Smoking is the leading cause of both types of lung cancer. But some contract the disease through smoking marijuana and breathing secondary smoke. Lung cancer is also caused by exposure to nickel, asbestos, chromates, arsenic compounds, radon, pesticides, pollution, or radioactive substances. Other factors include drinking alcohol, tuberculosis, chronic bronchitis, lung scarring from pneumonia, exposure to talcum powder, and deficiency or excess of vitamin A…

COPD
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic inflammatory lung disease that causes obstructed airflow from the lungs. Symptoms include breathing difficulty, cough, mucus (sputum) production and wheezing. It’s typically caused by long-term exposure to irritating gases or particulate matter, most often from cigarette smoke. Over time, COPD makes it harder to breathe. People with COPD are at increased risk of developing heart disease. Two main types of COPD are:
Emphysema –This lung disease causes destruction of the fragile walls and elastic fibers of the alveoli. Small airways collapse when you exhale, impairing airflow out of your lungs.
Chronic bronchitis – In this condition, your bronchial tubes become inflamed and narrowed and your lungs produce more mucus….
