| Educate Versus Medicate | |

"Until man duplicates a blade of grass, man can laugh at his
so-called scientific knowledge." Thomas Jackson, M.D.
"Wisdom is better than weapons of war;" Ecclesiastes 9:18
Educating ourselves to become healthy requires some work
and involvement. I am not saying don't medicate or do
medicate. It's your choice but I do say, use pharmaceutical
medications with caution! Also, herbs must be used smart
as well.
When the FDA says we cannot use or distribute herbs,
they will have to make a law saying that I cannot eat
carrots, parsley, etc. They will also have to make a law
that says I cannot grow herbs!
The latest craze to get rid of ephedra is just the latest in
the pharmaceutical backed FDA to take away our
freedom to choose or not choose alternative herbal
treatments.
Seasoning, Herbs and Nutrition
God's Pharmacy or should we say Farmacy? Vitamins
and minerals are a necessary as is tasty foods, which
make for our nutritional health from seasonings and/or
raw vegetables that we consume.
For instance a great migraine headache reliever is a
simple cup of Thyme tea. Put a teaspoon or two into
a cup of boiling water, steep for 3 or 4 minutes and drink.
Medicine, but also a seasoning to make our food
taste better.
Turmeric makes for great curry dishes but also relieves
pain when taken as a tea. 1 - 2 Tablespoons of powdered
turmeric in a cup of boiling water every two or three hours
to control pain. Turmeric, Oregano and Basil, great
seasonings, but also very nutritional. They are great
nutrients that contain Vitamin C, Vitamin A, calcium
and antioxidants. Shall the FDA remove those from
our choices as well? All three and more can be grown
in a window box, kitchen planter box or a garden.
Why the fuss at the FDA about Ephedra? It is a widely
used decongestant and natural weight maintenance herb
that has effectively been used for asthma and respiratory
problems for centuries.
The pharmaceutical industry loses a lot of money when
people choose natural over chemical weight loss
products! Simple fact. Always "follow the money" and
you will see where the fuss comes from!
Sorry to say that foods these days do not contain as
many nutrients as our body requires and if we eat as
much as it needs to keep us nutrient rich we will be roly
poly's, which by the way seems to be a huge problem
already! How did we get here? And how do I know this?
The question you should be asking is, why do our
doctors not know this? Lack of education! Read

So the FDA, again is off base in more than one instance
and will have to outlaw gardening in any form and they
will have to forbid me from crossing borders as well!
Educate yourself and take charge of your health!
