It's so very important that this topic is in discussion at a time like this in the 21st century, where fast food is dominating the food industry, pharmaceutical drugs run the medical industry, knowledge is increasing, and things are falling out of place to bring room for what will fall in place.
Everyone feels the shift going on in the atmosphere. Ever since Covid19, time has sped up and consciousness has intensified to where truth can not be ignored and, if it is, which it will be by many, those individuals would naturally find themselves aligning to their respective side. Whether unaware or aware, both will bear the consequence of where they decide to lie.
So, we're gonna start off diving right into it because there really is no time to sugar coat or not take accountability when our loved ones, children, friends, close friends are dying innocently simply because of lack of knowledge and/or no actual application.
We see the result of that in the statistics here in America of the leading causes of death. They're rooted mostly by what a person does in their daily routine. The most crucial part being a persons diet. And sadly, the truth is that most people live to eat and not eat to live. That's perfectly fine, if you are in the confines of healthy eating, but most are not. The U.S. made a total of ~320 billion dollars from fast food service alone in 2021. And guess what? Approximately 46 billion of those dollars come from everyones favorite restaurant McDonalds. The total amount being made by such restaurants has had a continual increase into the years of 2022 and 2023. Here are some other fast food chains that made a whopping amount of money in the year of 2021 below:
We continue to load our bodies with substances that lead to diseases and then we go to the doctor looking to fix what we did to ourselves. The doctors give us a drug to fix our symptoms and then we end up continuing this same
cycle; making billions of dollars for the medical industry while we are being coached to continue coming back. Our symptoms leave temporarily and then come back, or one ailment goes then another comes. Is this not facts? It's like wiping the mold off of a piece of fruit and saying "See, as fresh as new". But what about what is causing the mold in the first place? 'Wont' it come back?
Where has fast food and pharmaceutical drugs actually gotten us in America? Where has that gotten us health wise? Sure we can consider how fast food restaurants has enabled lower income families to afford a meal, but not a nutritious one. Isn't it the nutrients that we are consuming that keeps us alive and flourishing? According to the Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, "Affordability also influences access to foods that support healthy dietary patterns. Low-income groups tend to rely on foods that are cheap and convenient to access but are often low in nutrients." The fast food industry produces processed food that adds little to no life to a persons health. In contrast, it takes away from it in a very detrimental way. Whether that is fast food or food found in the average grocery stores, it is harder to access actual REAL, CLEAN, and VITAL food on the shelves to consume. Instead, we have chemically-modified, dyed, pesticide infested, and GMO foods.
When a fruit or vegetable grows out of the ground, having no harmful chemicals applied to it and no molecular manipulations, we see in it's very fiber the minerals, vitamins, electrical and healing energy that is needed to sustain our bodies. A great percentage of that is lost by the time you are ordering from restaurants who do not sell fresh, untainted foods.
The human body is a machine. If you take care of it just as you take care of a car, it will function properly. If not, then of course the opposite. Just like anything else in life, you get what you put in. When a person's diet contains mostly foods that are alive, and all natural, it promotes proper functioning of the machine body. The heart is a literal pump. Your liver and kidneys are a filtration system. So you want to provide your body with the appropriate fuel. You can think of it as the highest grade of gasoline. In order to keep the body functioning at optimum capacity, one must have proper digestion, absorption, utilization, and elimination (the Four phases of Health according to modern herbalist Yahki). Giving your body the highest grade of gas, that has the ability to do those four things stated above, dis-ease will not come onto you too often. Different parts of your body will have proper support.
What happens when disease does fall upon someone who is taking care of themselves in the best way that they can? An argument that a lot of people (who actually are not trying to eat better) have when I say things like 'we have to eliminate the pig and what is considered seafood from our diets (firstly) because the Creator commuincate(d) to us that they are biologically unclean for our human bodies and (secondly) scientifically you see that they are the garbage disposals of the earth and sea' is.. "well I know many people who lived long lives eating pork all their life". That is a true statement, I do too, but I would like to suggest for us to open our minds so that we can receive that which is able to correct or refreshen what we may already know. It's really not about that, there is a principle present that may be getting overlooked. In life you have choices, and your choices affect the grade of life that you will live. Eating healthy is about giving yourself the high grade of life that you live now. So many people are unconsciously focused on making it to the death part and the after death portion, when all that we know is now. It is our duty to make the now right. To actually live. There are elderly people who did not have a good and free life. Long life does not equal good life. So we must remember to focus on quality, not quantity, as it is very easy to get caught up with chasing quantity... one of the strongest stressors in the world, I believe.
When we approach this with discernment, we can understand that no human being is off limits from disease or an interruption to the homeostasis of their body; but when this does happens, what is n.o.t the answer is chemically-made drugs. These drugs, which is rightfully named, are manipulated for a specific reason and purpose. Whether the manipulation is to strengthen a certain property, or to lengthen it's lifespan, with every manipulation is also a disruption to the original balance of whatever origin it may have been taken from, which is likely a plant. Not all drugs are taken from plants, but most are. "At present, about 8 out of 10 drugs used to treat infection, cardiovascular disease, or cancers, or as immunosuppressives, come from plants, directly or as derivatives." says Dr. Liji Thomas. "And, in fact, around 50% of pharmaceuticals are derived from compounds first identified or isolated from herbs/plants, including organisms, animals, and insects, as active ingredients [19]," a group of scientists stated in an article on the National Library of Medicine website. They derive these compounds from the plants, and then go an extra step to manipulate them in various ways. Well, the problem is that the compounds in those plants was already balanced beforehand. It is already ready to deliver what it must. When you manipulate them, you are taking it out of divine balance creating that long list of adverse side effects. For example, the discovery of Aspirin started from the bark of the Willow tree. Ancestral tribes such as the Sumerians and Egyptians were all very familiar with the use of Willow Bark serving as a pain reliever, fever reducer, and antipyretic. Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) was chemically synthesized by German chemists from the compound salicin into acetylsalicylic acid.
Human knowledge is very very advanced. We are mini creators of The Creator. So, the drive for advancing things is natural, and is a good thing. However, as the saying goes 'If it's not broken, don't try to fix it' because you might just end up making it worse. With the advancement of medicine, lives have been saved especially in emergency cases but lives of the average person have also been subtly diminished because of the movement away from that which is natural, which have lead to those above mentioned emergencies. If we actually trusted in what the Creator made and saw the pureness in it and make a conscious effort to cater to keeping our wholeness or existence balanced, then we wouldn't have to make too many alterations especially not by man-made synthesis.
If we consider the definition of "medicine" here in America, it:
Refers to the practices and procedures used for the prevention, treatment, or
relief of symptoms of diseases or abnormal conditions
Prevention, treatment, or relief of the symptoms of diseases. There is more 'medicine' in America designed to target symptoms than it is to cure diseases, and that is why so many manipulations are taking place. The focus is not designed to heal the core; rather, it aims to get rid of, for example, the headache quickly but not what caused it. And there is no care for whether or not that synthetic drug will affect another body part unnoticeably. Mainly so that a person could keep coming back generating a flow of monetary income. This is because of greed and a lack in understanding the concept of the human race being holistically in tune with its original blueprint. In addition, when individuals would arise showing proof of them utilizing herbs and foods in its natural state to rid diseases, America did not and does not accept it... even if there is.. proof. Propaganda will just have you find every article stating all of these wonderful scientific findings about an herb, but at the end of every one the writer says "....but it hasn't been scientifically proven" in order to discredit it to not be on some type of "scientific" level as pharms. "Although the first vaccines were created, evaluated and authorized for emergency use in under a year, rest assured that no steps were skipped in ensuring their safety and effectiveness", an article from UMMS stated. No steps were skipped? Rest assured? I am frightened.
How is it that something like this was not tagged with a declaration of "but it hasn't been scientifically proven" but it was created under a year? You're telling me that what my grandma, my great grandma, her mom before her, and on down the line analyzed about the experience of chewing a piece of ginger for nausea had on their body wasn't more scientific than creating a vaccine in under a year? They lived in the science lol they knew and understood it in its natural form.
If "prevention" was really a focus of an attempt to heal people in America, why is there a McDonalds on every corner of the block? There's no nutritional value on the menu except in the kids apple slices.... And that's probably not organic. Few fast food restaurants actually aim at providing vital minerals and nutrients for the body (shout out to all of those that do!), but you generally don't find those restaurants on the billboards and in commercials. So, are they really promoting prevention more than they are promoting bad health habits to generate money?
Here are two ads from the 1950s on what "health" was considered to Americans. And I quote from the first ad, "Have you seen the 'sugar smile' . . . . the light that comes to kiddy eyes when mommy hands out sugar in spoons and spoons". As if the first spoon was not enough. It wasn't until 1972 that a British scientist started to raise the alarm that sugar was the harmful culprit, and it wasn't until 1980s that the US released its dietary guidelines. That's not long ago, btw!
The second ad is interesting because it shows how it was known that sugar caused weight gain, yet the promotion of its intake was still being pushed by saying "You need sugar for energy!... and.. Dominos sugar contains fewer calories than your apples." Manipulation.. for.. monetary.. gain. Listen, America is business! Money is what it is ran by. Whether it is good for you or not, they will advertise. They will sell it!
Let me introduce you to some practices of ancestral groups when it came to health:
""Apart from honey, most of the foods our hunter-gatherer ancestors ate were no sweeter than a carrot. The invention of farming made starchy foods more abundant, but it wasn’t until very recently that technology made pure sugar bountiful." (Lieberman, D.E. (2012)
"Although culturally diverse in their recipes, flavor pairings, and ingredients, nearly all traditional diets are centered on a foundation of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, pulses, nuts seeds, herbs, spices, and other plant foods." ("The Importance of Traditional Diets")
"Ancient Egyptians (3000 -300 BC) believed that the gods would heal disease, priests were trained as physicians who believed that the body was a system of channels (air, blood, tears, urine) that could be healed by leeches and blood letting." ("Medicine in Ancient Times")
"They also treated illnesses with herbal medicines and performed surgeries with metal instruments." ("Medicine: Ancient times (800-500 B.C.): Kids work!")
When dis-ease falls upon someone who is taking care of themselves in the best way that they can, even if you are not, you can feel sure and safe to look to the plants and food which came from the same ground as the first hue-man body.
Herbs are designed by God The Creator to assist your body in bringing balance back to it. If you were to accidentally cut your finger, apply pressure on the wound to trap blood flow, and do nothing else, your body will heal that wound without your assistance. We know of this, because we all have had many scrapes and injuries as a child that we either went to our parents about or just brushed it off.
But let's say it's a big enough wound that the bleeding is seeming uncontrollable. You can look to a plant called Yarrow, which was commonly used during war as a first aid because of its ability to immediately stop the flow of blood. In this instance, Yarrow is serving as a helpmate to your body. In many other ways, this is how herbs serve as medicine for the body. Problems with digestion? There are herbs to assist you. Problems with elimination? There are herbs to assist you. Not only are they assisting you, but unlike pharmaceutical drugs, they are actually healing the unbalanced energy within by helping to bring the body back to a common unity.
Where do herbs get the power to do this? From its unaltered blueprint. If we want to live LIFE and not just walk through the motions, we must return to that unaltered blueprint that is a direct reflection of the natural law and glory of God the Creator of All Things.
We can help our body get back on one accord by selecting the correct herbs for specific ailments. A lot of people are coming into the understanding that the myths about herbal healing are false, and that herbal healing is what has been missing within health in America. That is why I am writing a book right now called Quest To A Whole-istic Natural Way of Medicine. There are many things that the health system has gotten right, but much that have also been wrong or overlooked. We are realizing that a group of powerful individuals have always been in control of these big companies in the areas of healthcare, education, the judicial system, and even the prison system for monetary gain and government control. This is the awakening that I was speaking of earlier, those who are increasing in not just knowledge but godliness, are seeing through that which has proved itself to simply not be right. Where's the justice for everyone in the judicial system? Where's the free and edifying education? Moreover, why are people of different ethnic backgrounds only learning about the contributions of one nation of people and it's not their own? That's for another discussion, but yes.. evolution is making way for those who will be able to survive. With this, there will be an increase in self-healers. If you are looking to purchase your own herbs for your family or household, I really suggest that you do some research about the energetics of herbs first. A base understanding of chemistry, physics, and biology is necessary for you to know what herbs work for what individuals and what circumstances. As in a chemistry class, there are projects that contain chemicals that work well together and others that do not. You must consider synergy and the antagonism. Please know that just Googling "what herb should I use if..." will only narrow the herbs down to a general bucket, but you will know which of those specific ones to choose for you and your body by knowing what I mentioned above. I also recommend that you go through experienced individuals to obtain your herbs or knowledge on what you should look into. Seek out some professional help from certified herbalists, or even your physician.
