Hello, I'm Leigh Brandon. As the founder of BodyCHEK and a leading UK CHEK Practitioner, I specialise in injury rehabilitation, weight loss and sports conditioning.
I'm passionate about helping you achieve your health & performance goals and my holistic approach ensures results every time.
I'm hoping you can get to know me through this blog and that I can also share the knowledge & information I learn as I help my clients achieve success.
It part one of this post, I explained a little about the germ theory and how Louis Pasteur finally believed it to be incorrect.
Even though Louis Pasteur finally realized the germ theory to be incorrect on his death bed all those years ago, the dairy industry still pasteurize your milk, yogurt and cheese today in the name of health.
Pasteurization is simply heating the milk to a high temperature to kill all the bacteria in it. In addition to killing all the bad bacteria, it also kills the good bacteria and the enzymes that are required to digest the lactose in the milk.
In reality, the reason why dairy products are pasteurized is because it gives the products a longer shelf life and the supermarkets can therefore transport it further and make bigger profits. Also, most dairy cattle are fed grains which is not a natural food for cattle which makes them sick. The cattle are then given drugs which make them toxic. These cattle are unable to produce healthy milk. This another reason why milk has to be pasteurized so as not to make anyone acutely unwell.
If cattle are raised on good quality grass (their natural diet) they do not become ill or require drugs and are able to produce good quality milk full of good bacteria and enzymes. It is interesting how supermarkets are selling pro-biotics to help your gut, yet milk has to be devoid of pro-biotics because apparently all germs are bad for you. If this is true, how can companies sell pro-biotics? After all, pro-biotics are just good bacteria.
If you absolutely must have dairy in your diet and you want to do it in a healthy way, then purchase 'raw' (un pasteurized) dairy from a local farm shop or farmer's market. As I understand, UK law does not allow the transportation of 'raw' as it is said to be unsafe.
Quite a paradox don't you think?
You may not be aware, but normal milk, as it is known has not always been normal.
For hundreds if not thousands of years humans have used the milk of other animals in certain areas of the world to compliment their diet.
You may also be aware that Louise Pasteur was the father of pasteurization. He initially believed in the germ theory which suggested most illnesses were caused by germs and therefore killing the germs in milk would make it more healthy.
In later life Louis Pasteur realized he was wrong and he agreed that it was not the germ, but the terrain that was important. The terrain in this instance is the internal workings (gastro-intestinal and immune systems) of the person.
We all take on germs everyday. Some of us get sick and some do not. This disproves the germ theory quite clearly. The reason some people do not get sick is because their 'terrain' is healthy enough to deal with the germs.
So what has this got to do with milk?
Stay tuned to find out next time...
Those of you who know me or have been reading my blog for the last 2 1/2 years will know I love the movie, "The Secret".
I have been suggesting to all my clients and friends to watch it. What I didn't realise was that there are 2 versions. The original version which I have contains several scenes with Esther Hicks who channels the non-physical beings, collectively known as Abraham. However, a later version was produced without Esther Hicks in it due to intellectual rights issues.
I have been a little surprised when I have received feedback from people about the movie. What I didn't realise was that most people have the version without Esther Hicks in it. So the secret the movie was trying to unvail to the masses remains a secret of the movie. It appears the world isn't ready to hear what the universe has to offer.

I have been writing an article over the last week about how people sabotage their efforts to be healthy. I hope to have it ready in the next 2 weeks and posted on the June edition of my monthly newsletter BodyNEWS. In the article, I explain how we are 'programmed' as children and many of our behaviours throughout life are hard wired in certain situations.
I explain how this prevents people from achieving not just good health, but many things in life.
Interestingly, today I received a similar article from Dr. Mercola. You can read his article by clicking here. Dr. Mercola suggests that Emotional Freedom Technique is a great way to help reverse and prevent sabotage of your efforts to become happy and healthy.
Other techniques such as clinical hypnosis and BodyTalk are also very effective. In my clinical practice, I have found BodyTalk to be very effective.
