Green Vaccine – Using Food As Our Farmacy

By on March 29, 2013

Let’s face it… it is no secret that a colored pill can kill. Colorful produce on the other hand… the more colors, the more vitamins, just as nature intended! The Latin community must know that true healing does not come from a Pharmacy, but instead a Farmacia (thus the spelling in photo) – a place to get/grow medicine.

We mustn’t wait for something to imagebreakdown (or a special occasion) before we take ourselves serious. A real food diet will have us looking and feeling our best anytime, every time. Diet unfortunately, has become another not-so-nice 4-letter word – the reason diets fail is because those dieting deprive themselves of much. Anyone can lose weight on fewer calories (or by eating like a rabbit). However, experience has shown, one can only be deprived for so long before they binge and the weight come back, it’s inevitable. Yo-yo dieting leaves many reaching for an often times unhealthy get-slim-quick-fix. This is NOT what nature intended. Mother Nature does not change her rules – she remains old school. Eating real food is a proven folk remedy that works for whatever ails us. It also makes weight loss a thing of the past.

Improving the quality and quantity of our life (not to mention our face value) can be accomplished by what’s at the end of our fork. Far too many are dying from dis-eases of the fork! Health care starts with us. Since when did taking better care of pets and vehicles (than ourselves) become a priority? Was it the invention of fast processed foods? We would not think twice about giving our vehicle french fries or a spoon of sugar, so why our body? Respect and love for ourselves should be first foremost. Only then can we be happy, healthy, run smoothly and last long. Maintenance works!

imageWe can choose to add more life to our years and years to our life, or… die a slow suicide on a different colored pill. A 4-legged and 4 wheels can be replaced. Us?  Hardly! I always say, we crave what is in our blood. Get that clean and the cravings go away. No matter what the craving… It’s. That. Simple! Detox does more than clean our body (and blood), it cleanses our mind and spirit. Antidepressants can be a thing of the past with diet and detox alone. Add exercise to the mix and it’s an all around win-win. Wanna know the best prescription I’ve ever been given? Walking and water. High five to my Chiropractor!

Relying on vaccines (and more) to prevent and/or cure dis-ease is not health care. It is being irresponsible and lazy, both of which can cost us our life, as told in this article of a 1 month old child dying after a routine vaccine. Naturally the child did not have a choice, however, the parents did. As adults, we do have a choice, so take it! An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. It is the best medicine, but we must take action. Allowing others to dictate your health and what you can and can’t do is leaving many bankrupt. As if this were not enough, us 2-legged and fellow 4-legged aren’t the only ones being injected with poison, Fire Blight, a destructive disease is now causing even organic farmers to use antibiotics on apples. What happened to an apple day keeps the doctor away?

Working in a botanical pharmacy I met a man whose job was to hook people up to dialysis. He stated that half of his patients were on dialysis because of antibiotics. This has forever stayed on my mind. Another recent headline stated that antibiotics may be responsible for certain types of breast cancer. I’d rather stop eating apples or replace the tree than consume antibiotics. Prevention, via maintenance is key! If apples can no longer keep the doctor away, organic garlic can! A good rule of thumb when grocery shopping is to shop the outer walls. That’s where most of the real food remains.

Whatever you do…

it’s the green vaccine that’ll help keep you clean and lean, happy and healthy, and… rather eco friendly by using water for edibles. Why NOT give a lil of your time, energy, and resources to something that will give back exponentially, and keep you healthy in the process?!
