Why DO We Get Sick? Oz, Mercola, Jensen, Walker and Others

So we know we’re always battling this bug or that one…and some of us are more sickly than others and then there are some of us

that just never ever seem to get any bugs at all.  And why IS that?  “I” believe, and so do many of the ‘great’ doctors who actually study and make a living at this…that we can make ourselves sick…or we can make ourselves well..by the foods we eat on a regular basis.  And I’m not saying at ALL that we can’t have an ice cream cone from the Dairy Queen…or Fried Chicken from the Loveless Cafe in Nashville…I’m just saying that if we want our bodies to be really strong and healthy..we have to feed our bodies, on a regular/daily basis..those foods that will strengthen us up instead of tearing us down.

Dr L. Newman once said “Knowledge, and the will to use that knowledge, are the real weapons against disease”  And “I” believe that!

AND before we can change our diets in a way that will be strongly beneficial to our bodies..we have to learn about foods and the pros and cons of especially our favorite foods…and THEN back off on those things that may be doing harm to us and add more OF those foods that are so good for us.

When we get a flu bug..which is a very rare thing..in Round Knob Canyon…in spite of the fact that a flu bug took Billy down for 2 weeks just after the holidays…But when we get a flu bug in our house…I KNOW we’ve had way too much junk food and we haven’t been putting enough healthy foods in our bodies…Studying natural healing/living for over 36 years just tells me that.

But when a cold or flu bug attacks someone else…I often wonder what they think caused their illness…Or even cancer or diabetes or heart disease for that matter.
Do most folks think that some mysterious illness just came over them for no apparent reason?

AND..did you know that in the very olden days…many thought illness was from the devil or evil spirits..and some thought that when a person became ill…they were being ‘possessed’ and witch doctors and medicine men would be brought in to try to cast out the evil spell of illness.
Well thank goodness we got past THAT.  But REALLY???  Most folks are totally oblivious to why they get colds and flu and cancer and diabetes or heart disease and all the other ills…they think it’s just their lot in life…the luck of the draw for them…they give no thought to their diet or lifestyle. Or the fact that they caused they own problem and had a choice and took the wrong path…

Sir William Arbuthnot Lane…who was a great surgeon known around the world in the 20’s and beyond…once told the class he was teaching in London “I will never die of cancer because I know what causes it and will take the measures to prevent it.”  He said, “It’s caused by poisons created in our own bodies by the foods we eat.  And all we need do to prevent a horrible disease is eat the right foods and that’s plenty of raw fruits and vegetables and grains and nuts and as we learn to nourish our bodies, we must also learn better elimination of our waste products…We have been studying germs when we should have been studying diet and drainage”  Dr Lane died in 1943, at age 87, after being in an auto accident in London….At the time of his death he was still healthy, working, lecturing and as active as anyone half his age….

According to some of the greatest scientists and health experts of all time…practically every disease we have is a result of a deficiency in the diet.

It has been said that 1/3 of what we eat keeps us alive and the other 2/3’s keeps the doctors alive…And we are literally starving ourselves to death…on full tummies…

Now having said all of this…and I could talk from now till Kingdom comes on this subject…but WE don’t do the things WE should be doing EITHER…We eat pretty doggone healthy every day…lots of healthy foods and juices…we don’t eat a LOT..but we have salads and raw foods..baked veggies..lots of grains and nuts..we juice fairly often and we really LOVE juicing and the taste of that juice..but then we add way..way…waaaaaaaaaaaayyy too much junk food.  If we’d throw out the chips and ice cream and cookies and breads and coca colas and just eat the rest of the things we eat…we could work circles around most 20 year olds out here in this canyon….We probably could ANYWAY…because so many of the younger generation are just lazy as all get out these days…and I said most…not all…

Dr Oz has his own healing diet…as does Dr Mercola…Solomon Wickey feels that most of our diseases stem from too much aluminum in our bodies and aluminum is in everything these days….
Sooooooooo there’s soooooooooo much to learn and many of us need to make some big changes…us included, right here in Round Knob Canyon…

If Billy or I were diagnosed with something horrific this week…I would be LIVID at myself…because “I” KNOW BETTER!!!   How would YOU feel and what are YOU going to DO about it?

It’s just like smoking….how many of us know…SMOKING KILLS….and those who smoke all know that…But they’re always going to stop ‘tomorrow’ or next week…and one of these days they’re all going to run out of tomorrow’s TOO…and then they’re going to have to live out their last days KNOWING…it didn’t have to happen this way….
Smoking is like having a little bowl of arsenic on the kitchen table…and you walk by and you think…”Well..I’ll just have one little tsp of arsenic….what’s a tsp going to hurt?”  An hour later you walk by that bowl again and geeeeeeeeeeeeezzz it looks so inviting…but you think “But gads I just had a tsp of arsenic an hour ago….but oh hey…what could one more tsp full hurt?”   YOU ARE VOLUNTARILY taking DEADLY POISONS in your BODIES on and off each DAY…GADS!!!

SOOOOOOOOO DO YOU/WE/ME REALIZE….we are giving up YEARS of hugs and laughs and good times and togetherness for TWINKIES AND CIGS???  Now just how STUPID is THAT???
If you’re laying on your death bed at 58…when you could have maybe made it to 88 if you had taken care of yourself…are you going to be thinking…”Oh weelllllllll….those Oreos and French Fries were WORTH 30 years of my life….”  IIIIIIIIIIII doubt it….You’re going to be so doggone MAD at yourself…you’re going to want to kill your OWN self…before the Lord TAKES you…..and that’s just a FACT!!!

God said, “I have give you every herb that yields seed which is on the face of the earth, and every tree whose fruit yields seed; and to you it shall be for your food.”

I’ve been battling with this issue for weeks…sooooooooo many want more blogs on health and healing and home remedies for this and that and healing the body naturally.
I’ve had 63 people find my blog since Saturday…just looking for help with health issues…21 just since yesterday.  And I can’t hardly work one on one with everybody…
And then I talk about health and I get emails that say “I wish you’d talk more about improving our relationships”…and then some say “I wish you’d blog more about making our homes warm and fuzzy”
So Kim and I have talked about doing a 2nd blog and the new blog be only about health and natural healing…healing foods and juicing and all about that kind of thing…But goodness…I just dont have the TIME for a 2nd blog…by the time I get up about 4am and do my stats and the things I have to do on just THIS one…and answer emails and this and that…it’s 8am and the geezer is ready for me to punch the time clock….hahaha  And lately there have been lots more emails and pm’s and that’s wonderful…REALLY!!!   If you have something that is hurting you or you need help with something and you can’t find that help….please DO email or message me….if we can help you here at Bird’s Eye View…we sure will….but I just don’t have enough time right now for a 2nd blog….HOWEVER…this is the way “I” look at it…..IF WE’RE NOT HEALTHY…we’re not going to BE here ANYWAY for these better relationships and our warm and fuzzy homes….so let’s just try to work it all in right here…

Now we’re going to be needing to talk more on health and healing…juicing, which anybody can do..and we’re going to be talking more about the health benefits of certain foods…and there are small things like that…that if we (and I mean ME TOO) if we just incorporate those things into our diets and back off on junk…just THAT will make an improvement in our health….I just have too many people wanting more blogs on health and healing and these folks are sick and hurting so we just HAVE to help them if we can…

I DO BELIEVE….if our diets and lifestyles can make us SICK….changing those diets and lifestyles can make us WELL….but we can’t wait until we are in mid-air…falling off the cliff to make those changes…we need to start now….
