Who Do You Trust?

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.
