Your health is your wealth – a jewel in your
treasure chest. As I start writing on newsbf.com,
it is my desire to help my readers realize that
your health is one of the best gifts you can
give your loved ones. I will be writing articles
focused on NATURAL means of dealing with common
health concerns.
We live in a world where allopathic medicine has
made it a common practice to use a pill to mask
a symptom rather than finding out what is
causing the symptom to appear. We search for a
little pill to help with problems ranging from
heart burn to low libido. Wouldn’t it be nice to
find out what is causing the heart burn or other
symptoms in the first place?
My goal is to get my readers to make changes in
their lifestyle so they don’t get sick. If you
are healthy you can’t be sick.
Hippocrates coined the term, “Let thy food be
thy medicine, let thy medicine be thy food."
Ironically, Hippocrates is thought of as the
Father of Western Medicine yet this concept of
using food as medicine is nonexistent in our
medical establishment. Somehow we have gotten
away from nutrition. By using food to fuel your
bodies and supplements made from the plants God
created you can help avoid a health crisis.
God created food as fuel for the body and for
medicine. Ezekiel 47:12 says "Along the bank of
the river, on this side and that, will grow all
[kinds of] trees used for food; their leaves
will not wither, and their fruit will not fail.
They will bear fruit every month, because their
water flows from the sanctuary. Their
fruit will be for food, and their leaves for
medicine." (NKJV - emphasis added)
So, we have food for fuel and plants for
medicine…created since the beginning of time by
our God. And, guess what - these same plants and
foods were created from the same dust of the
earth that man was created from. Coincidence? I
think not!
Now I'm not saying that a trip to the doctor
isn't warranted on certain occasions, but when
did it become common practice to let someone
that studies medicine instead of health and
nutrition dictate how you treat your body?
If our bodies contain the same minerals that our
soil does why should we put synthetic products
into our body? We all know what happens when we
don't give our house plants or our gardens
proper nourishment, right? Why should it be
different than with the human body? You wouldn't
fertilize grandma’s prized dahlias using brake
fluid or petroleum would you?
If the same elements that feed plants are used
to feed our bodies why do we consume foods that
would kill a houseplant and think nothing of it?
And, why do we feed it to our kids? Why do we
use harmful chemicals in our personal care
products when 60% of what is put on the skin
goes to our bloodstream?
These and many other questions are what I will
be asking my readers to think about. Not only do
I want you to think about these questions, I
want you to act on them and make changes to
better your health. I won’t only be asking these
questions but will be giving you answers so that
you are equipped with the proper tools to open
your treasure chest of wealth!
So, stay tuned for more health jewels that you
can use to increase your health! |
