Barefoot Secrets

Introduction

Experts in the medical and alternative health fields have created countless websites, conducted numerous seminars and written a plethora of books that offer hope and answers to a disease-ridden society; yet hospitals and consulting rooms of medical doctors, alternative doctors and healers are overflowing with desperate and continuously sick people. Autoimmune diseases and elevated cholesterol, high and low blood pressure, allergies, fertility problems, constant weak immunity, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), spinal diseases and degeneration, osteoarthritis, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases just don’t seem to heal. Something is seriously wrong! In Barefoot Secrets I explain why people generally don’t heal and why illnesses are palliated into a simple lessening of the symptoms for a little while before they hit back with force.

Barefoot Secrets takes a serious look at what goes on below the tip of the iceberg regarding illness. Factors that rob us of our health and factors that keep us from healing are emphasised. This book provides much needed information for the sick person who has lost hope.

It’s a book that evaluates the constitution or genetics that each person has been endowed with. However, this constitution differs from person to person and will not change and therefore has to be understood so that a person may live accordingly. The information among these pages will bring about a moment of enormous relief for many when they realise what it is that keeps them sick.

The innate God-given bundle of energy within a human being is under scrutiny and rightly so, as it is this energy that is the healing factor and health force within each person. We are intended to be in good health as we are equipped with this magnificent power that works around the clock to restore our homeostasis. But why don’t people heal? This question is partly answered as a missing link is uncovered and the solution is completely illuminated as the pages unfold.

The reader is taken on an exciting journey of interesting case studies that demonstrate the turnabout ability inherent in a sick person. Testimonials are provided that prove that we should concentrate on the underlying causes of illness to find a sustainable cure for our persistent health problems.

Barefoot Secrets includes the following:

• Easy to understand dietary information of oxidative food types and the resultant food choices we should make. It is important to know that what works for person A will prove the opposite for person B, and what heals one person has the disastrous capacity to negatively affect the next! However, this type of information is normally too technical for the layperson and this is the reason why it is not acted upon. For this reason I provide information that is simple and to the point in order to get the message across.

• Information about the five pillars (or terrains) that support a healthy body is provided. Everything we believe, think, feel, say, do, eat and drink affects these five pillars.

• An introduction to the five-year research period that the author engaged in and refers to this approach as the Embryonic-Reflexology Connection. It is this mysterious missing link that keeps people stuck in a wide variety of illnesses. This finding is the first of its kind globally.

• The reader is guided to concentrate on the real causes of disease and not only on the symptoms. A change of attitude is necessary in terms of how we view the body when it is diseased.

• The truth about detoxification is revealed. We need to understand the healing crisis that could lead to wellness and the creation of awareness pertaining to the correct combinations of food that will differ from person to person in terms of digestion and metabolism. The greatness inherent in raw food and how powerfully these concepts apply to healing and living a healthier lifestyle are elucidated.

• The state of a person’s mind and body affects his/her choice of food just as much as the choice of food affects a person’s mind and body. This truth is further illuminated.

• The book explains how to transform bad habits into good habits as this is the beginning of creating a healthy body, mind and spirit.

My intention with this book is to provide the reader with simple yet powerful information that will bring about the necessary changes in lifestyle choices. These choices will affect the contents of the readers’ fridges and grocery cupboards and will lead them to mobilise their own God-given ‘ball of energy’ to perform the healing work. The insights offered among the pages of this book not only answer the questions why we get sick and why we don’t get well, but will also bring overwhelming relief to the readers when they implement these easy to understand concepts and simple suggestions.

Physician, heal yourself.

(Luke 4:23)

There is a mysterious but powerful tool within you to do this! This is the unique message that Barefoot Secrets delivers.

Chapter 1

A passion so great … a Barefoot Healer’s story

The word BAREFOOT means no pretence. This means that the advice offered among these pages is solidly based on unchanging and ancient principles related to health. Too much is known about what is meaningless and too little is known about what really means something, and this has created a diseased society with little money in their pockets and a low quality of life. Within your feet, hands and head are pressure points that are linked to energy pathways within your body; when pressure is exerted on these pressure points and when they are correctly manipulated, these blocked pathways are opened and this allows healing to take place. This is called the practise of reflexology. God created these pressure points, energy pathways and a bundle of vital energy within us … energy that should flow without obstruction through us and this affords us health. This is called Grace.

This book is intended for the whole of humanity and for the purpose of including everybody. The manner differs in which each person refers to the Creator. I shall refer to the Creator as God for the purpose of this book.

The word HEALER refers to my personal privilege of teaching people about the innate healing ability that exists within every human being. I don’t heal, but I do show the pathway that could lead to health. This includes teaching people how to be responsible for their own bodies; understanding how to maximise their own powerful God-given healing energy; and then to allow this vital energy to do cleansing and restoration work.

In sharing MY STORY, my aim is to give the reader insight into the profound healing experience one is able to achieve on the same physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels that I have experienced – my purpose is to stir your awareness of your own innate healing force that is just waiting to be unleashed. It is free … and it is God-given! I walked an exhilarating and emotionally uplifting healing path that millions of desperately ill people can relate to and apply in their own lives. I therefore have the enthusiasm and compassion to help patients because I have been on this journey myself.

I feel immense gratitude when I see how people who engage with my program for healthy living evolve into a state of optimal health where they feel energetic, positive and so alive that they are able to accomplish their life-purposes. I have witnessed how the previously dragged down bodies of people that experienced symptoms of disease and pain were converted into healthy vessels in order to serve their most important purpose: to be healthy vehicles for spiritual rejuvenation and progression. These people experience abundant joy and happiness deep within themselves as they have achieved a balance and are able to control their habits, especially in terms of their thoughts and the choice of food and liquid they consume … obviously with NO cravings and a tremendous need for wholesome food. When we feel good, we are eager to serve.

My PASSION is to share these healing principles that saved my life. My own illnesses, as well as the suffering of a disease-ridden humanity on the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels, have been the motivating force behind my studies all these years. I would like to shout at the top of my voice, and from the highest point in the world, these truths to everybody. I want to stop their bad habits because they are slowly killing themselves without knowing it … and it can be so different! I would like to see a change in people’s lives. I want to see people taking back the power that was theirs in the first place. I feel blessed, for my never-ending search resulted in discovering amazing truths. On this journey, the Grace of God has guided me, paving the path I had to walk and, at times when it became too hard, I would simply be uplifted by an unexpected gesture of love or encouragement from all the special people in my world. I realise today that nothing is impossible and that we need only ask God and visualise our prayers, then believe and trust … and leave God to do the rest. I believe that when we follow our heartfelt passion, we are walking our intended path and this path is always blessed. God gives us our passion, so why should we not follow that calling? Sadly, for many people fear is the main culprit that leads to darkness and despair concerning the following of their dreams. With this book I endeavour to uncover ancient truths, forge new paradigms in healing processes and thereby instil in people hope, courage and the belief in the possibility to heal.

My healing journey

When I was about six years of age, my mother would always ask me to rub a painful arm, neck or leg of whoever was complaining. How she knew that I could help these sufferers still amazes me today, but she said that I had good hands. When I rubbed someone, the pain would disappear; this gave me an enormous thrill and I felt elated. This is the same feeling I still experience today when a person experiences healing or relief from pain.

However, I experienced severe physical health problems at an early age. At the age of six I was afflicted with constant swelling of the brain as I unknowingly suffered from temperomandibular joint (TMJ) misalignment and this continued for forty-six years. The temperomandibular joint is the joint that connects the lower jaw to the temporal bones of the skull. I experienced excruciating pain in my head for which I had to use very strong pain medication. TMJ misalignment may negatively affect a few pathways in the brain by disrupting the adrenal gland, the pituitary, hypothalamus and thyroid glands, the heart, the autonomic nervous system function and the emotional part of the brain. This caused depression, angry fall-outs and hyper-activity of my brain with resultant poor concentration, constant ‘flight and fight’ effects, constipation, heart conditions and severe migraine headaches that lasted for days with accompanying vomiting and heart palpitations. This condition, also affected my nose, sinuses, ears and eyes. For example, bright light would cause the immediate onset of a migraine. My nose was affected in that I constantly smelled smoke to the extent that it would feel as if my lungs were congested from this terrible amount of smoke; but nobody else would ever smell smoke in the same room or area because there was no smoke. No medical doctor or alternative medical doctor or healer could help me as they did not understand the condition. They called it migraine and speculated at best as to the cause through many years. I needed very strong medication to shrink the brain every time swelling started, but the worst was that I was actually unaware of the fact that it was swelling of the brain due to the TMJ position.

I was also diagnosed with three genetic incurable autoimmune diseases in 2003. One was rheumatoid arthritis (inflammatory arthritis in which, the joints of, for instance the hands and feet become inflamed) resulting in swelling, pain and often destruction of the joints. The exact cause of this affliction according to mainstream medicine, is unknown. What is known is that it is an autoimmune disease that attacks the joints and connective tissue like the blood vessels and lungs, eroding the cartilage, bone, ligaments of joints causing deformity, instability and scarring within joints. Genetics may play a part. I was also afflicted with Reiter’s disease (inflammation of the joints, eye conjunctiva, mucous membranes of the mouth and the genitourinary tract), and also ankolising spondilitis. This disease causes inflammation of the spine and large joints like the hips and knees that results in pain and stiffness and
