Food is your best medicine

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:

Henry G. Bieler, M.D.
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.
Nei Ching
or The yellow emperor's book of internal
medicine
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.
Diseases that cannot be cured with medicine, can
only be cured with food.

● 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.
● Most of the vitamin
supplements on the market are synthesized from coal tar and other
petroleum derivatives. And while the synthetic substance may be
chemically identical or closely related to the natural vitamins, they
may have only a fraction of the biological activity. Synthetic vitamins
may substitute for some, but not all, of the functions of their natural
counterparts. Synthetics may also have additional effects beyond those
vitamins found in foods. In fact, vitamin manufacturers warn us that
large doses of supplemental vitamins A, B complex, C, D and E can harm
the body.

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.
Hippocrates
Thy food shall be thy remedy.
Brillat Safarin
You are what you eat.
Dr. Bernard Jensen
All diseases are related to increased levels of
toxic substances in the body.
The host
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.
Mahatma Gandhi
Chew you soup and drink your foods.
