According to Michael Grady, co-director of Atlantispa, the reason for America's failures in health care stem from a system that emphasizes "illness care" rather than "preventative care". "We seemed to forget that illness has a beginning", said Grady, "and the beginning is due to toxins in our water, air and food supply, thereby lowering our immune system threshold for fighting off viruses and bacteria. When our bodies are over-acidic, these bacteria, viruses and parasites can walk in and make a home in our bodies while our immune system is overloaded with toxic waste that has accumulated over decades. Bad lifestyle habits can magnify the problem. First our bowel and digestion system become compromised and then the liver and kidneys fail to function properly. After that, it's a short time before congestive heart failure and cancer eats away at the body as the free radical molecules come to dominence in the system. A state of immuno-deficiency sets in, thereby allowing bacteria, viruses and parasites to cannibalize the body."

Grady states the the best start to recover one's health is to eat greens, drink water rich in alkaline content and to detox the body using methods that incorporate the ancient knowledge of thalassophy.

"Amazingly, the body can recover it's health with a concerted effort to alkalinize the body and to commit oneself to a strong Thalasso Effect program. This is why I started Atlantispa. To not only demonstrate to the public that my own family can be healthy, but to offer the latest in Thalasso Effect services and products to the public so that all can recommit to a healthy, long, prosperous life."
