Who do you trust?
The study of thought or feeling is like the question, ‘Which
came first, the chicken or the egg? Now we know there is an egg, and unless fertilized,
there will be no chicken.
Depending on the scientist or guru you select as your
authority figure, these will influence your opinion and action. If you read and
listen to as many as I have, you can find contradictions between all of them on
the same idea. Fortunately, I trust my
opinion most of all. In truth, I have had to change my mind on what I believe
is the truth throughout my life. Science
has made this change a few times. Other times, I go with “my body, my choice,
and freedom to choose what is right for me.” Scientists
and spiritual leaders outside of me DO NOT guide me. Freedom to live as I see
fit without harming another is fundamental to me. Ultimately I decide what I
believe, and I choose how I act. I love to serve others.
From making a diet change to herbal medicines, natural
remedies for my health are always my go-to. I avoid artificial pharmaceuticals
at all costs. If the prolonged sickness
is making a life or death threat to me, then and only then do I seek the medical
doctor. Our natural immune system is the most potent medicine in any human
being. Artificial pharmaceuticals are last on the list of things to do. Our
children have been raised the same, address diet, no fast food on regular
routine, low sugar treats, and exercise. As a mother, water was given every
night in their bottle for bedtime. I have had many a baby bottle flung at me
once the baby tasted the water. I retrieved
the bottle, and although I knew the baby did not understand me, I kindly
returned the bottle to the baby again and again. Sometimes the baby dropped it on
the floor, and the baby went to sleep. Later, the baby would take the water
bottle. Good!
Water is excellent for the human body. Juice bottles can rot the teeth and should not
be given anytime. *TIP: If the juice is
given, it needs to be cut in half with water.
So our family is very health conscious and aware that the human
body can heal itself. Smoking and alcohol were eliminated from our diets. When the
children were born, these toxic substances were not being consumed by their
parents in front of the children to influence the children to adopt these poisonous
substances as acceptable adult behavior. If you have had an alcoholic parent or
addict as a relative, you learn the harms these cause to the family structures
first hand. We experienced this.
Pharmaceuticals are poison introduced in small doses and can
help at times. Thankful for prescriptions when we know their place, at the end of the physical defense line, END
of the line, not a first go-to. Wise,
wise men and women of our past have known this for centuries.
If you are interested in returning to your ROOTS, seek, and
you will find books on herbal medicines our ancestors worldwide used in place
of modern pharmaceuticals. A few
suggestions are vegetable juicing, acupuncture, essential oils, meditations,
aromatherapy, active release therapy for pinched nerves, etc.
The beautiful thing is you choose the things that work for
you and you believe. In this natural nurturing of your own body, peace will be found in balance with nature in
your mind and body. Be kind to yourself. If peace is to be, it begins with me.
Thankful to know of the natural healing of the human mind and body.
