Food as Medicine

God has provided the most amazing foods to support our health and healing and our bodies are the greatest pharmaceutical factory in the world ...

I'm not preaching that everyone needs to go 100% plant based all the time ... and modern medicine is awesome. If you need acute care of any kind, a surgery and/or meds may be just what's needed to stabilize you.

But, if I was an ER doctor and 2 or 3 times a year the same child would come in with a broken bone because they kept hopping off their roof, it would be ridiculous to not tell them to stop hopping off their roof. Likewise, if someone is dealing with chronic conditions that may have a genetic root, but are triggered by lifestyle choices - high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, etc... then changing our lifestyle is a great place to start.

"And on the banks, on both sides of the river, there will grow all kinds of trees for food. Their leaves will not wither, nor their fruit fail, but they will bear fresh fruit every month, because the water for them flows from the sanctuary. Their fruit will be for food, and their leaves for healing.” ~ Ezekial 47:12

Medicines don't heal. At best, they removed hindrances so your body can heal itself just as God created it to.

A well-meaning doctor told me, "Well it looks like you've gotten to that age. Based on your family history, you're going to need to start considering being on a blood pressure medication." When I asked him how long I'd have to be on them. He told me that it would be for life.

Within 3 weeks of focusing on feeding my body healing, plant-based, whole foods, my blood pressure had already dropped from 169/110 to 140/82 (still high, but heading in the right direction and without a big weight loss at that point). As of last week, my blood pressure was 106/72 ... well within normal ... without medication.

That says nothing of my rheumatoid arthritis that has seemingly reversed itself, apnea and snoring which are gone, and chronic heartburn which hasn't flared up in over a year.

There are times when someone has a disease or acute condition that needs medical intervention and sometimes, our lifestyle has created enough damage that there needs to be some corrective measure taken before we can focus on actually healing.

But for most of us, if we would start by filling our bodies with good fuel and focus on removing the impediments to our natural healing process ... we would find a good bit of the medical interventions wouldn't be necessary and some chronic, genetic conditions could be reversed.

Hope and pray you're walking in awesome healthy and energy tod
