Suicide By Fork

Hallelujah Acres teaches…and I truly believe…that God gave us all bodies that will heal themselves…’if we give our body’ the nutrients it needs. Many other natural healing courses teach that very same thing.

And if you’ll just stop and think about it…and let your desire for true and healing knowledge…override your desire for cake and ice cream…you’ll know..down deep in your heart that’s true…

Don’t you ever wonder why…in this modern day and time when we have every medical/technical machine, test, drug and supposed remedy under the sun…why so many people are so desperately sick?
It’s because healing…especially in this country…is all about making money. I was told by our own family doctor once…just how much he and other doctors make themselves…when they send a patient for an MRI…or Cat Scan…or other tests…and they make a TON of money…just for sending us for those tests…they also make money by prescribing particular drugs…forget the fact that they may not work…or be good for us.

Remember the blog I wrote ages ago…about the Gout commercial…it goes on to name all of these horrendous things that could happen if you take this new gout drug…and one of them was instant death…but still recommends it for your ‘gout condition’. 🙂
So I said, “death…gout…death…gout…death…gout………OOOOOOOOOOk GOUT!!!”
Gout is simply a build up of uric acid in the body…consuming an excess of many different things can cause gout..alcohol…caffeine..some foods…but you can get ‘rid’ of that gout naturally…by stopping those foods that cause the uric acid build up…and flushing your system…I’ve seen it done many many times….but everybody is looking for a quick fix and its so much easier to play Russian Roulette with a little pill….
Billy now drinks one ounce of Knudsens Just Black Cherry juice daily…to keep his gout at bay and it’s worked now for over a year.  SO simple and safe.

You go to a doctor with high blood pressure…and he gives you a pill for that…that blood pressure pill makes you dizzy…so he gives you antivert for that…the antivert pills make you nauseated…so he gives you a pill for ‘that’…next thing you know…you’re taking 5 pills for a slightly elevated blood pressure when all you needed to do was cut out the salt…lose 10 pounds and start walking a little bit a day…and eating raw cucumbers and celery sticks would take it back down even faster…but heeeeeeeeey…doctors don’t make money off of the ‘home remedy’..and they have huge elaborate homes and big swimming pools to keep up..and private tennis courts…numerous cars to keep looking all spiffy and in good working condition…it all goes with their image…and if you’re healing yourself with raw healthy foods and juices…where is that going to leave ‘them’…maybe living next door to YOU on Hunkie Dorie Avenue instead of on Country Club Lane…

It’s so good to start our day with Lemon in water…and I’ve done that on and off for 33 years..since I started studying natural healing/living…but I just don’t’ stick to it……..but lemon in warm or hot water..first thing in the morning..just stimulates the liver and that’s always a good thing. When you see people with lots of blemishes…or a bloated tummy…they usually have a lazy/stagnant liver……the lemon water is going to begin a healing cleanse in your system…bowel AND kidneys…it’s going to begin immediately to flush toxins and yucky bacteria out of your system…help with digestion…it’s a good blood purifier…and will help to get rid of heartburn, bloating, fluid retention…it’s loaded with potassium, calcium, magnesium…vit c and b vitamins….it’s just a very VERY simple…healthy way to start your day…and really…it’s quite delicious…

The Green Tea that many drink to be healthy…I’ll have to admit I’ve only tried that a very few times and I don’t like it…but now, they’re not talking about the Nestle’s bottled green tea at the grocery store…or whatever brands it comes in bottled…I don’t even know…….The HEALTHY green tea that is talked about is when you steep green tea bags…and drink it down hot, preferably…or you can cool it and ice it….the best brand for that is Celestial Authentic Green Tea…because it’s about one of the highest in ‘catechins’ and that’s the main healing ingredient in green tea…those bottled green teas are probably more harmful than healing/helpful and all or most have sweeteners in them THAT’S why the bottled ones are good…if they are…and if you don’t believe me…just do a search and check them out for yourself…I’m sure there’s info everywhere on the net….
But steeped green tea…has many healing properties….it will boost your immune system…is said to protect against some cancers .. including prostate, breast and lung…so that’s enough to sell us on it right there…how bad can it be? And just 1 cup a day would be beneficial…2 cups would be just super..

Do you know ‘why’ we have all of these illnesses today…that didn’t plague our grandparents and beyond?
In grandmas day…when she was ready to prepare a meal…she’s go to the back yard and grab a hen, wring it’s neck, scald, pluck and clean it and take it in and cut it up…she’d go to the garden and dig the potatoes…pick the green beans off of her own tee pee…pick a few ripe tomatoes and shuck some corn…she’d send grandpa to the barn to milk the cow and she’d skim the cream off of the top of that milk and make her own butter…she’d pick apples and peaches off of her apple and peach trees to make her pies…and absolutely none of these things ever saw a commercial fertilizer or pesticide…it was all done just as naturally as her meal preparation…

Today…to fix that same meal…we go to our local grocery and buy a chicken that has been dead for days or weeks…it’s been poked and gouged full of antibiotics and colorings, preservatives and flavor enhancers…it’s been through the mill by the time we pick it up from that meat counter…
Then we usually pick up a box of instant potatoes…many of which contain ‘no real potato’..just flavorings…we get canned green beans and corn that have had all kinds of things done to them before they went in those cans…none of which were probably healthy OR sanitary…the tomatoes are picked green and shipped from TimBuckToo…after being sprayed with all kinds of chemicals and preservatives…nothing in the grocery is really safe anymore….and the butter…oh my goodness.

When the kids were little…we’d go down to Joppa and get milk at the dairy…bring it home and skim the cream off the top and make our own butter…and it was delicious…there was nothing in that cream…but a tiny bit of salt…and it was whipped with a plain old electric mixer…I guess that’s what our grannies used to do…or decades ago with their butter churns…

We ALL have a choice! We can find ourselves in our early to mid senior years in an unhealthy state…with bad hearts, pre cancerous conditions or full fledged cancer, arthritis, diabetes…and all kinds of other things…OR we can meet our senior years head on…in vibrant health…with alert minds and energy to do what we want…

SO do you want to meet your maker at 72 or 75..laying on your day bed because you don’t have the good health and energy to be up and about…or would you rather be run down by a pick up truck when you’re out jogging at 92 :8)
Don’t you see…we are killing ourselves at the dinner table……most of our obituaries should read…”Suicide By Fork”

This has been a birdseye view from Round Knob Canyon and the world of the Katydid..until next time…you are loved….
