Five Pillars of Health
Dr. Benton has a deep passion for helping patients heal their bodies naturally and effectively for maximum longevity and optimal health. There are 5 basic foundations of health which enable one to live a balanced healthy life:
1. Structural – which includes the physical body such as bones, muscles and ligaments.
2. Emotional - how our thoughts and belief programs and how others’ thoughts impact our bodies’ health.
3. Nutritional - how to get the most nutrients, vitamins and minerals from our food and proper supplementation there.
4. Hydration - proper hydration with healthy, clean water (free of toxins, additives, and harmful chemicals) is essential to the proper functioning of the body and how the cells communicate to one another.
5. Energy/Spirit - this encompasses acupuncture healing the meridians in our bodies, homeopathy, spiritual connection, prayer, and mediation amongst others.

Auto-intoxication is the body re-poisoning itself with its own toxic waste. "Inadequate intake of water and prolonged transit time of fecal material add to the toxic burden."
