Health Information about Gravestones, Horse Sense, Natural Health and Homeopathy

As a practitioner of homeopathy for the last many years, hence, an observer of human health, I say it’s time to refresh history. Upon listening to the rhetoric of the AMA, one might be convinced that our lives are richer, healthier and with greater longevity and wellness than in previous decades due to their members. It can be noted otherwise.

I have observed that many people lived well into their nineties and even older in pockets of American society in the eighteenth, nineteenth and twentieth centuries. My home is in an old farming community in Western New York that was settled by Germans. There is a lovely cemetery nearby, chock full of head stones with dates as a testimony to prolonged endurance of the folks in my area. Since I’ve been interested in the subject of longevity, I’ve meandered through other cemeteries in rural areas and have made the same observation time and again…people often lived into their late 80’s, 90’s and frequently over 100 in the last two centuries.

These were often not urban dwellers, but those who lived simply in small villages and rural areas where the air was clean, food more nutritious, sanitation more individually controlled and dependence on the medicaments and practices of hospital and city doctors minimal to none. These hearty folk ate the fruits of their labor such as fresh eggs from chickens that wandered in the garden, fresh, raw milk and heaps of butter from the family cow and of course meat from the well fed barnyard pig, including bacon and lard. There was an abundance of fresh air and loads of direct sunshine to work hard in. There was family, often three generations in a single house… an abundance of humanity, all related, coming together under one roof for the common good of all. No, not communism or socialism, but family, with many, many children. And they were birthed at home and nursed with mother’s milk, not Carnation’s. There was no sunscreen, microwave, fat free, or margarine. No purple pill, Viagra, birth control pill, no porn sites, drug abuse, divorce rates or Planned Parenthood. There weren’t even taxes to pay for all of the above! Was there stress? You bet. The stress was whether the family, as a unit, could work hard enough to get food on the table, get to church and achieve pride.

And today we’re condescendingly informed that we live longer, happier lives due to modern science and modern medicine. Yet, I have noted that while on the modern medicine’s watch, there has not been a single disease cured and many more created. We have simply traded one disease for a tenfold of others. Childhood asthma, ADD, teenage suicide and violence, allergies, rheumatoid and osteoarthritis, diabetes, personality disorders, cancer, endometriosis, chronic ear infections, Lou Gehrig’s disease, MS, lupus, autism and heart disease. Elderly parents are condemned to live in nursing homes, propped up by so many meds they don’t recognize that they might indeed be 80 years old! Children are considered a financial burden, hence, limited. And disease has taken a turn for the worse while modern medicine puffs itself with acclaim for keeping us all healthy and longevitous.

Take polio, for example. When modern medicine touts its accomplishments, it smugly recalls polio as the triumph of the last century. But as epidemiologists know, all infectious diseases have a bell curve which they will follow and finally die out on their own. This is why flus, colds and chicken pox come and go. Drs. Sabin and Salk, the developers of the polio vaccines, admitted independently and publicly that the disease was already on the decline when their vaccines hit the market and that the reason for the decline in polio in the US was due to the natural order of things, not a vaccine. Interestingly, polio was spread in pockets of the country where children were given candy, cookies and pop, not locales where an apple or berries off the bush were the daily sweet. It has been shown that polio only seriously afflicts children who have a diet including processed sugar. Why has this not been divulged to the public?

Now take homeopathy. Unlike modern medicine, it has a record of cure. During the flu epidemic during WW1 that killed more people than the war itself, homeopathy was on the forefront in the homeopathic hospitals with relatively few deaths, while the other hospitals couldn’t keep up with the corpses. Even before that , “In 1900 a comparison of mortality rates among homeopathic and conventional medical patients throughout the US and Europe showed that two to eight times as many homeopath patients with life threatening infections diseases survived, as compared with those receiving conventional care of the day.” (Thomas Lindsay Bradford, The Logic of Figures of Comparative Results of Homeopathic and Other Treatments) Yet, the AMA launched a rigorous and well funded campaign to eliminate homeopathy from the American scene. And it continues to do so.

As we line up for the bastion of modern medicine’s medicaments, such as vaccines, birth control pills, antidepressants, high blood pressure meds and chemo, perhaps we ought not marvel at the wonders of today’s medicine, but consider, perhaps, it is as a direct cause of these diseases.

Today the world clamors for simple, inexpensive, cartel free medicine. Medicine of the values of old. Of the standards of hearty folk. Hearty of mind, sound principles and sound nutrition. The next time you look down on a grave stone, note not only the dates, but what those dates represent. They are likely a representation of a life worth living, free of the modern entrapments of today’s medicine.

Natural Health And Healing — It’s Common Sense

Health Information about Natural Health And Healing — It’s Common Sense

The human body is a miraculous creation and is perfectly capable of healing itself of nearly any condition in which you find yourself.  The reason I said “nearly any condition” is because I am not so naive as to believe that if you abuse your body for the entirety of your life, and then find yourself only hours away from death, that you should expect at such a late date that a decision to adopt a healthy diet and a healthy lifestyle is going to save you.  That said it should be noted that if in fact you have a reasonable amount of time left before succumbing to disease, a radical change in diet and lifestyle will be the only way to effect a complete healing.

Think for a moment about the process of the body healing itself from a mere flesh wound.  There is not a doctor nor a scientist on earth who can accomplish the process of healing even in the smallest of wounds.  The body does this all on it’s own and it does it perfectly each and every time.  The perfect blueprint for healing is already resident in your body and there is no way to add one thing to it’s perfection.  In the case of a small cut on your hand for instance, who could deny the body’s ability to heal itself perfectly?  Who could deny that the most experienced doctor could not bring about such healing?

If your miraculous human body has the ability to heal itself from every flesh wound you have ever had, and if it is true that a doctor could not aid nor accomplish even this easy task, why would you believe that when it comes to a more serious disease, that your body is no longer capable of healing itself, but would need to relegate that job to a doctor who does not even possess the blueprint for healing so much as a minor cut on your hand?  Could it be true that the most experienced doctor in the world cannot effect the cure of a minor cut or bruise but in fact does have the ability to cure something as serious as cancer?  It really is only a matter of common sense to see the utter fallacy of believing this.  Nevertheless I have found a great level of stubbornness when trying to get people to understand that the inexplicable complexity of even something as basic as the healing of a minor abrasion or laceration on the body has never been fathomed or aided by the human mind. 

I don’t know who is responsible for the following adage but it is wonderfully true and very sobering. “Convince a man against his will, he’ll be of the same opinion still.”  How difficult it is to make a person see even the most basic of truths if it chafes their stubborn will!

]]>

This truth will be reinforced many times over when for instance you show someone how inferior is an animal based diet compared to a vegetarian diet.  The battle to get someone to see this is even more intense when the person with whom you are discussing it is hooked on, for instance, fast food hamburgers.  It matters very little how strong is the case for healthy, whole foods from the earth, nor does it matter if the person you are discussing the matter with has high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and is 30 pounds overweight.  If the love of fast food hamburgers outweighs common sense then you might as well be talking to the milk shake machine.

The fundamental belief of natural health and healing is that your amazing body possesses the very blueprint for perfect health and if given the right conditions the body will heal itself of every infirmity.  The best way to effect such healing is thankfully quite easy and is achieved through just a few common sense steps.  First the body needs detoxification to rid itself of years of the unchecked onslaught of many harmful substances from the environment and from the so-called “food” that we ingest.  After detoxification it is necessary to then provide the body with the correct nutrition in which to thrive.  This will begin to get all the bodily functions working properly and will strengthen the immune system.  Since this is a holistic approach it is also necessary to deal with emotional issues that may have caused trauma and also to address spiritual issues head on.  As an aside I should say that my personal belief is that humans are the healthiest when they recognize God as Creator and His Son as Savior but whether you believe as I do or not it is necessary to start on a path of total healing of the body, soul, and spirit since they are all interconnected.

You will soon notice that none of the processes of healing in natural health involve any harm to the body whatsoever.  This cannot be said for the medical establishment’s way of addressing disease.  Consider for a moment if you will, chemotherapy.  This barbaric chemical destruction of every part of the body including the immune system is nothing short of a death sentence.  No human can withstand this onslaught against the natural processes of the body and come out healthier for it. It is also quite ridiculous to even so much as toy with the idea of giving your life savings to such a ridiculous process when 3 out of the 4 doctors who would administer it would not use it themselves if they were diagnosed with cancer.  They know that it has a success rate of almost zero, but they also know it has made them rich.

I am sure that in some cases individual doctors who use the conventional medicine’s approach of attacking and attempting to kill a disease with foolishness such as chemotherapy do it in total ignorance and their intention truly is to help the patient.  I am also sure that many practice the conventional approach knowing full well that it is deadly and therefore their administration of it is almost criminal.  But either way the outcome for the patient is the same.  In the case of cancer, whether the doctor attempts to cut, burn, or poison the tumor out, the result always consists of unnecessary suffering for the poor unfortunate patient and then of course death follows anyway.  Natural health and healing practitioners on the other hand do not attempt to attack or kill the disease but to provide the right conditions for the patient to get as healthy as possible and then let the miraculous human body decide the best way to heal itself.

Doctor’s cannot now, nor will they ever be able to heal even the slightest wound in the human body.  The only thing that a doctor can and should do is to help the amazing human body effect it’s own healing.  This is done through detoxification, followed by a regimen of correct nutrition.  This is the natural health way and it conincides with this writer’s belief that when God created me He knew exactly what He was doing and the miraculous body that He gifted me with is complete with it’s own blueprint for perfect health and healing.

In conclusion let me say that if you are suffering from a chronic degenerative disease there are certainly no guarantees that even natural health can save you.  You may very well have gone too far and pushed your body past the breaking point.  The farther your your body has deteriorated however, the more dedication you will need towards a radical change in what you are doing.  In the end only God knows what the outcome will be.  But if you have pushed your body too far, I can assure you that all the money you might spend will not buy you one more quality minute of life.  But no matter where you’re at, unless of course you only have moments to live, you are always better off giving your body what it needs to effect healing and at the same time taking away that which hinders the body from performing what it alone knows how to do if given the right conditions.  The only common sense approach to health and healing is the natural way.
