Food is best natural medicine, treatment & cure

An old Polynesian proverb says:

Standing on a whale, fishing for minnows

When we look for a cure in a chemical drug or some magic potion and ignore the effect of food in our diet on our health and its contribution to our illness, we are like someone who is:

I began to suspect the close relationship between health and proper eating habits when, early in my career as an overworked young doctor, my own health broke down. I have always been a man of great curiosity and as I investigated deeply  the chemistry of food along new lines, I came to the conclusion that I, personally must give up the use of drugs and henceforth rely solely on food as medicine. It was not long until, after repeated verified results, I discarded drugs in treating my patients. My colleagues, at the time, thought I had lost my mind. But time has only strengthened my belief.

There are 3 kinds of medicines:

The lowest is poisonous, the middle is a little poisonous and the highest is not poisonous.

The lowest cures 6 out of every 10 diseases and leaves poison in the body.

The middle cures 7 of every 10 diseases and leaves a little poison in the body.

Even the highest cures only 8-9 of every 10 diseases.

● Research compiled over the past twenty years has beyond a reasonable doubt proved that mother's milk is best for newborn babies. Formula-fed babies are more likely to develop digestive problems and diarrhea. They also have a lowered immunity to illness and infection, and less of a chance of surviving the first years of life alive and well.

Dr. Dennis Burkitt, MD, speaking about the importance of curing constipation said: "Americans have small stools and big hospitals".

Breast cancer, the biggest killer of women among all cancers, exists where high saturated-fat consumption is present. It is relatively uncommon among American women of Puerto-Rican decent whose diet contains little saturated fats and cholesterol.

Thy food shall be thy remedy.

You are what you eat.

All diseases are related to increased levels of toxic substances in the body.

Would you fill your car's tank with diesel if you knew it runs on gas?

Yet, most of us fill our bodies, our most precious possession, with harmful foods that run down this marvel of a machine and cause it to break down sooner or later.

Do you know that this wonderful human body is endowed with such strong tenacious defense mechanisms that it has absolute natural immunity to all diseases when it is well fed and cared for.

The real cause of disease is not germs, but our abuse of our body to the breakdown point when it is rendered so defenseless that tiny germs find it a good place to multiply and cause disease.
