The sad truth is that ALL processed foods and ALL prescriptions and over-the-counter meds are poison. That, my friends, is what is killing us. That is what is driving the epidemic of allergies, autoimmune ailments, ADHD, diabetes, etc. NOT that there are not genuine breakthroughs in medicine as well as conditions that truly need pharmaceuticals. I'm not here to argue that.

What I do argue is that the medical professions, like every other profession in our fallen culture, have sacrificed their noble traditions to the advantages of commerce. You can't trust 'em. But you CAN learn to give your body the tools it needs to heal and rebuild itself, and therein lies the secret of health.

We are so on the same page here! The ONLY way to health is to own your own wellbeing from the start. Insurance and HMOs only encourage dependence, and cultivate the myth that only MDs are qualified to judge health issues, and only pharmaceuticals are appropriate remedies. This is absolute, poisonous, evil lies. The result of believing those lies is the blanket of sickness that lies upon us today.

Inescapably, health is spiritual. The body and the spirit are inseparable in this life. I know people who are perfectly healthy, but the fire within has gone out. These people have a malaise that no herbs can cure. And for people who are already suffering the effects of a lifetime lived the American way, I am sorry to say there are no magic bullets. There is only remediation, and this you can do. Start now.
