Daniel Vitalis – The 4 Noble Elements: Part 1 Earth – Strategies For Improving Digestion & Rewilding

[include file=get-in-itunes.html]Daniel Vitalis from Surthrival.com joined us to talk about the principle reconnecting to the earth. This is going to be a 4 part series with Daniel Vitalis and we'll be going over the 4 noble elements which are Earth, Air, Fire and Water. As you can probably tell in this interview Daniel Vitalis offers some incredible unique information and shares it in an exciting way. I believe he's really been gifted with the ability to speak and share information in a way that's truly beyond his years. Kate jokingly told me after the show that she thinks Daniel somehow magically downloads this kind of unique information out of the sky or something. Some people are gifted and Daniel Vitalis really is one of them. Daniel and I wanted to go a little bit more in depth with our conversation today and if he's interested we will do this for the next few interviews. As far as I'm concerned we can have Daniel on as a regular and talk for as long as he wants. This was Part 1 of a 4 part series on the 4 noble elements that are necessary for optimal health and wellness. The 4 noble elements are earth, air, fire and water. Seems simple but if you break down each of these 4 elements you'll quickly realize how far we have deviated from each one of them in order to pursue a more "comfortable" lifestyle. As a result of being on the other end of the spectrum for each of these elements, our health as a culture and even civilization has suffered tremendously. Daniel mentioned on the show the example of going into a hospital. Supposedly we go into a hospital to "get well" don't we? But as he said, the hospital is the perfect example of a location that couldn't be further from having these 4 noble elements a part of its location. There is no clean, fresh or "wild" air inside the hospital walls. The hospital is not grounded to the earth and there are no earth elements inside its walls because the entire building is sterilized. There is no fire or sunlight inside the hospital to get the necessary nutrients like Vitamin D (which is a secosteroid hormone and not a vitamin by the way). And lastly the water or better yet "liquid" in a hospital not only is not structured or fresh from the earth, but it's been sterilized, treated and infused with chlorine, possibly chloramine and probably fluoride amongst many heavy metals. The hospital is a shining example of a place that's furthest from health and wellness and we go there to get better. Unfortunately our homes and work places are very much similar to a hospital. So in this episode Daniel Vitalis gives us some tips and strategies for working with the earth and incorporating more of the earth elements into our lives. He talked about waking barefoot so we can get that electronic exchange between our feet and the earth as well as exposing our skins to bacteria that's naturally occurring on the ground. He also talked about eating wild foods and choosing one plant (herbal or medicinal) and begin to pick that wildly in our surroundings. He also mentioned working with the soil in the garden and even bringing a plant with soil into your home. What an incredible way to be exposed to more of this bacteria inside our homes After you listen, comment below and tell us what you think! We discuss the following and so much more: * The benefits of rebounding * Eating organ meats instead of muscle meats * Why walking barefoot is so healthy * The benefits of exposing ourselves to good bacteria * How digestion works * Why eating wild food instead of domesticated food is so critical * Why you want to avoid hospitals if possible ...
