Bring back the Healing from the Past

Please do not take another pill

Hello all!

I was without electricity for 2 days last week. We had a ice storm here in Michigan and a large area was without power. I have power now and all is good. I was not able to access my computer/internet/work related things.

My Healing with Foods, Ginger and Turmeric Class had to get rescheduled from last Saturday to this coming Saturday, March 4th. I will be teaching about how to make compresses and healing teas such as this one, Creamy Ginger Turmeric Tea. I would love to see you in class! https://www.macroval.com/healing_food_classes.htm

It really shows you how reliant we are on all of this computer/technical stuff in our lives now and even more so if your business is tied up in all of this. This has me reflecting on how our lives/culture/interactions with other humans has changed so much in the last 50 to 100 years, especially in regard to healing the body, using natural remedies and the brain washing of society to take chemical pharmaceutical drugs that only harm the body.

Why do people just blindly take the chemical drugs?

I offer counseling to people with health challenges. I have helped people deal with all kinds of issues. Most people come to me with certain issues that seem to come out of nowhere or they say they live a health lifestyle. Once I start working with them, I always ask if they take any prescription drugs and most say yes. They usually say, oh, I only take this one and I take the lowest dose, or I do not want to take it, but my doctor says I have to, or I do not take any pills but then go on to tell me the prescriptions they are taking.

I get it, if you do not do any research or learn about healing properties of plants and herbs, you do not have any choice except to believe what ‘so called’ authorities have to say about healing. And that is the key here ‘so called’ authorities, who do not study plants, herbs, homeopathy, Chinese medicine, the energy of food or plants, natural touch therapy, nutrition of food or any other ways that humans have been healing their bodies since we started walking on this earth! Did you know doctors have no education on nutrition when they go to collage?

If we look at culture, a long time ago we had healing traditions and healing people who would pass the knowledge of the healing plants down to each generation and the knowledge would be saved. We humans found it interesting and important to learn how to take care of our bodies. We had observational skills to see when the body was sick and when it was well. We wanted to feel good, have energy to do the things that needed to be done. We also had faith in the healers of long passed down knowledge that worked to help people. There were oral stories that were shared around a fire of healings that took place and that was the story telling of the day.

Fast forward to today. People sit in front of the TV, filling their minds with numbing, meaningless shows about god only know what. Examples: misbehaving wives who are so rich they waste money, insulting cartoon adult characters, car crashes, violence, murders, and the list goes on. And also the video games, they keep people involved in a reality that does not exist, so when reality shows up, big time, in the form of the body needing to be healed, the people run to the ‘so called’ authorities to heal them, which means take a chemical drug.

(I know there are some good things on TV, educational programs and other things. I am just pointing out the time wasted on useless watching of the TV when knowledge is being lost.)

And now the commercials, I have always hated commercials. I realized at a very young age that it is a way of brain washing the mind. We have gone from the Brady Bunch wanting all the kids to get chicken pox to create natural immunity all at once, to commercial that you must get a toxic injection of chemical to keep your kids safe from this (as they call it now) ‘deadly disease’. The fear that this has created has made people just not use their common sense. They started to allow commercials on TV for pharmaceuticals drug prescriptions in the 1980’s and our health and mental ability to have common sense has gone down hill since then.

My point here is that most of what people suffer with is a side effect from the chemical drugs that people put in their bodies in the form of prescription drugs. Almost all the people who I counsel with have a side effect from the drugs they are taking.

Examples: A guy has a history of ulcers, He has an instance where the doc prescribes Prednisone. A couple weeks later, he has a check up and it shows his ulcer is bleeding again (not bad). I do some research, sure enough side effects of Prednisone, ‘can cause ulcers’, ‘do not take if you have a history of ulcers’. And the doctor who gave him Prednisone, did not ask if he had a history of ulcers. And the conclusion is to give him another prescription for ulcers. I step in and explain all of this and offer natural remedies, food, plants and none of those have side effects.

Example: A lady has kidney issues. She is taking a medicine for high blood pressure. I look up the medicine and right there in side effects. ‘hard on kidneys’, ‘may create kidney disease’, even ‘possible cause of kidney cancer’.

These are just two examples of the many times I have worked with people and the first thing I do is look up their prescription chemical drugs and the answer is right there. Then I work to correct the issues the chemical drugs have caused.

THE HUMAN BODY

IS NOT MADE TO

INGEST OR INJECT

CHEMICALS INTO IT!!!!!!

Why? Why? Why are people so readably willing to accept taking a chemical drug? Because they are brain washed. Because we have lost the ability to sit around and talk to each other on a regular basis, we have lost the respect of the natural healers who have knowledge passed down through generation after generation. Yes, people are very much distracted by all the flashy TV show, commercials, videos on social media and virtual games.

I remember an episode of The Walton’s where Grandpa gets sick and it is suggested he go see the doctor and Grandma says, why, I know grandpa and his condition way better then some doctor, I know what to do to get him well again (I am paraphrasing that is not exactly the dialog in the show).Yes, that was when people knew how to treat their loved ones with natural remedies that their parents or grandparents used for a long time. Before everyone was brained washed to just take a chemical pill.

My point is when my electricity was out I thought a lot about how people use to live before TV, the internet and all the electronic of today. I was thinking we need to preserve the knowledge of healing with nature that has been used for hundreds of thousands of years. We need to stop just taking these chemical pills that have a long list of side effects. I have seen first hand how these side effects cause health issues in people.

Please, please, do not take these chemical, prescription drugs. Mother nature had supplied a plant for every health issue. The body will heal itself given the right conditions. Please do research to find a natural solution. Seek out people who have the knowledge of how to heal the body with plants, herbs, foods and other natural ways, (yes, that is what I do and I can help). I am attempting to help people the best way I can with my knowledge or to help them be brave enough to do their own research.
