Herbal Remedies, ...

[tourist]

I actually found the transition saved me money ... take-out food, processed foods, cheeses, red meats are not cheap ...

God blessed me by opening a new fruit and veggie market right after I started changing my diet ... the prices are halved there compared to my supermarket. His way of encouraging me in the endeavor, I am SURE.

I love fresh fruits and veggies. I try to buy organic as long as the price is reasonable. I rarely will add sugar or salt to my food. My wife loves to shop at produce stands but today she went to Costco. She forgot the watermelon. Now she's talking about honeydews and cantaloupe. I don't care for those at all. Watermelon's good though as long as it's crisp and sweet. Berries are always welcome. I put those in my Rice Krispies. They go snap, crackle, pop. Awesome.

You need to grow your own vegetables. For one thing, they are fresher and tastier than the organic veggies bought in stores, and they really don't cost any money. I used to have chickens, and they were also a good source of organic, free range eggs. Although where I live now, it seems you can get free range eggs anywhere.

Yeah kinda hard atm with living in an apartment. We do have some veggies growing on our porch. Next summer we are going to rent some land and plant a large garden. I think my neighbors might have issues with a chicken running around the apartment lol. We are looking at purchasing some meat from the local farmers so hopefully we will be covered there.

You can also grow your own sprouts too and they are very easy to do. I have read that they are more nutrient packed then the full plant. I used to make my own sprouts when I lived in Alberta. I'm just starting to get back into the swing of things in NB since I moved here so I most likely will start them up again.

 

[thepsalmist]

You are 100% correct. One thing that I am finding is how much it costs to eat healthy lol. We had to up our grocery budget another 200 a month just to buy the organic food.

Something else you might find encouraging ...

When I first switched over I found I ate a lot!

At first our bodies need to store up what they have become deficient in ... so we eat alot.

But also ...

Our poor bodies are like abused children - traumatized. Give them good food and they scoff it down worried they won't get more. But when your body starts to trust that you will feed it well consistently it starts to eat more reasonably.

And in the long run, those vitamin and mineral rich foods sate better than the processed stuff ... you will eat less and your bills will go down ... you'll see.

I've already noticed this with Soda. I tasted some after a few weeks of not having it and it tasted horrible.

Appreciate your concern but I have done a ton of research on Chemo and how it destroys your body. I don't see how killing your immune system helps at all. The biggest reason not to do chemo is that it actually gives you cancer. The reason a company won't spend billions of dollars to test natural remedies is because they can't patent natural cures or remedies. I have prayed about this and this is what I was lead to by the Lord. Even before doing the 4 rounds of chemo I did do, I felt it was very wrong and wish I would have never did any chemo at all.

It makes me very worried for you, that you are going on some kind of natural cure kick, and you do not have even the slightest clue what cancer is.

Cancer is when the body's immune system attacks itself, resulting in tumours or other blood, bone or muscle disorders. The reason I know, is because Rheumatoid Arthritis is another disease where the body is attacking itself, due to not recognizing healthy cells. And the reason I know that, is because the same drugs used to stop cancer are used to stop RA. I have been on these types of drugs for 16 years now. My only objection is that sometimes they fail! I would rather die than live unmedicated. I have ultra severe RA, and if I am not on strong cancer drugs, I cannot get out of bed, feed or dress myself. It wasn't very pretty around here last year when I had a major med failure! I am just grateful my husband was so good in caring for me.

However, cancer needs MUCH higher doses than I take. And there is a small chance of getting cancer with these drugs, I agree.

So the basic idea of chemo is to stop the body from attacking itself. You NEED to stop the immune system from working to do that. In fact, your immune system is in hyperdrive, until the chemo knocks it down. Please do more mainstream research, learn about what cancer is, and the NEED to suppress the immune system. Really, any other treatment is not going to work. And one side effect of chemo drugs, is that it knocks out the body's ability to recover from infections, especially respiratory. I know any people like that! However, God has been good to me, plus I think all the vitamins and minerals, plus the organic food I eat may be helping that. I know before RA, I was literally sick constantly with colds that turned into bronchitis and pneumonias. I had bad allergies, and allergy shot may have helped that. Although, I would not do the shots again, since they have been implicated in triggering RA. Just not fun!

Believe me I have studied up on chemo and know exactly what it does. I'm at total peace with my decision and feel great. I'm not doing this out of ignorance or being uninformed.

Yes indeed ... I noticed a big change in tastes too.

How much soda can you drink before getting full?

How much fiber rich fruit&veggie juice can you drink before getting full?

Big difference!

Also ... after drinking that litre of soda to get full ... you'll be starved in an hour 1) because it was all sugar (hunger inducing) and did not satisfy your body in any way, so it continues to seek nutrition ... It's a terrible vicious circle North America has gotten itself into that leads to obesity and malnutrition.

A lot of "miracle" recoveries out there. The knowledge is finally out there to be found. If we stop eating what induces the cancer and start eating right our body naturally fends off cancer. It's actually a cancer fighting machine. But mopping the floor, while the spout is still broken and spewing will do little to help. We have to cut out the bad start on the good and our body will do the rest.

You're on the right track.

God provides what is good.
The world's offerings are poison.

Juicing is actually very excellent. One time I lost 30 llbs in 3 months by juicing and doing some exercise. It just fell off me like water on a duck's back and I felt incredible.

You get an incredible amount of nutrients in you at once without having the bulk of the fiber. I drink juice 2x times a day and I eat 3-4 more healthy meals.

There is a Christian woman called "The Juice Lady" and she talks a lot about juicing.

Here is an article on juicing with a short video on it for anyone interested.

Juicing: How Healthy Is It for Your Health?

Talking of inflammation. I injured my left sacroiliac joint about 10 years ago when I was lifted during a dance rehearsal and dropped on a hard floor. I recovered, but once in a while it would ache when the cold got to it. However, when I started eating more organic fruit and vedge it seemed to completely disappear. My chiropractor said their is a link between your back ache and digestive health. I know all the greens were reducing the inflammation and completely healed me of it. I no longer have any issues with it. Amazing.
