The Healing Power of Plants…

If you or anyone you know has ever lost a love one to disease then this publication is dedicated to you…We are all cognizant of our mortality and some may even argue that when your time comes, nothing can stop it. I tend to agree with that notion however, the real challenge is to decide when indeed that time has come. There are case loads of people who were given up on by their doctors and went on to live for years and even decades after. One of the major misconceptions about doctors is that they are believed to have all the answers, know everything, in other words, some people mistakenly believe their doctors are gods and anything they say must therefore be true. This is where I have a challenge…doctors are mortals just like anyone else and while we must respect the profession and the time and dedication it takes to become a doctor, it is foolhardy to believe that your doctor has all the answers.

As information become more and more accessible, we are learning everyday of cases where the doctor having tried all conventional methods of healing on the patient without much success, simply tells the patient to go home and wait for death. In many if not most cases, this is exactly what happens as the patient is more likely to die from the stress and depression than the disease itself. In some instances though, the patient simply refuses to believe this and usually in desperation seek out other options. There are cases where the patient is so far gone that even the best effort cannot help but alas…ever so often you hear or read of a case where having tried everything else, the patient reaches for some form of unconventional or natural medicine and the results are amazingly positive. I have been a subscriber to Health Science International (HSI) for many years and I have read and continue to read many other journals as well as books expounding the merits of natural healing. In fact it was upon reading a book loaned to me by the wife of a very good friend Mrs. Yola Gray-Baker that I decided to publish a weekly Journal dedicated to Natural Healing. So profound and far reaching were the contents of this book that I have since decided to ask to have it reprinted for distribution via my online store. Additionally, I will be making the source of these wonder cures available to my readers on a regular basis. By the way, the title of the book that has so inspired me is “Miracle Food Cures from the Bible”.

Like everything else, there are all sorts of misinformation swirling out there about what works and what doesn’t. The truth is that not everything will work for everybody as we are all made up with our own peculiarities. Notwithstanding this, several people have seen miraculous turn around in their heath with the introduction of natural medicines. To be brutally frank, it is my opinion that many of the ailments and even major diseases are caused by bad habits, ignorance and our scant regard for our health. This is manifested in our lifestyles which include our diet. There is a saying in the circle that our spoons and forks are symbolic of instruments used for digging our own graves…in other words, we are eating and drinking ourselves to death. This Journal will never be supported by the fast-food, liquor, tobacco or beverage industries since we will be relentless in pointing out the negatives of these products and the effect they have on our health. Of course as adults in a free society, we cannot be forced to do what is right for ourselves but at least, if the truth is known and understood, then we have no one to blame but ourselves for the state of our health.

I have had a great interest in this topic for almost twenty years after losing my mother to a stroke while she was recuperating from surgery for cancer. She had not survived for more than a few weeks although the doctor had given her six months without the surgery. She was never in a lot of pain and might have lived longer without the surgery. In a conversation with a doctor several years later he said and I quote “you never know how these things will turn out for sure”. I immediately thought; if he is the doctor and he doesn’t know for sure then why should I put so much faith in doctors? There are obviously many good doctors who will tell you the whole story but invariably if you don’t ask they don’t tell.

Since the emergence of the internet and as more and more people get access to the information highway, we are now getting different perspectives to the once highly secretive world of treatment and cures for various ailments from the simple to life threatening diseases. Of course as in all things one has to be careful of the snake oil salesmen who often appear with the one pill cure all miracle. The others to be very wary of are those pyramid scams that offer the opportunity to make millions off products that are at best dubious in their ability to cure anything. I attended one such meeting where I really wanted to hear about this miracle mushroom and while I still believe that there may be some merit to the product, I think the way it has been marketed is almost vulgar. I took my seat in this meeting with much anticipation about the testimonials and stories about the people who were cured or saw great improvement in their health after using the product but this was not to be. After a few vague claims and a few more minutes spent on the origin of the product, the focus was shifted totally to the commercial benefits to be derived from signing up now and have others do the same. I walked out within twenty minutes of the presentation and never went back although I was invited several times. As a marketer, I have always believed that the product should be able to attract buyers by the result or benefits derived from it. If you have to sign up and become part of some pyramid scam, you are probably wasting your money or worse, deceiving people who are desperately in need of solutions to their health issues.

Now let’s look at some plants that have been used for centuries to heal various ailments. Many of these same plants have been incorporated in drugs that are sold by our pharmacies by prescription and even over the counter. It is surely not in the interest of the drug companies and distributors of these drugs to make the information known to the public. After all, how would they continue to rake in the millions and even billions of dollars year after year while more and more patients are getting sicker and dying. Has it not occurred at some point to the discerning public that this is what happens daily? Doctors are simply failing to cure their patients; instead you are asked to take this and take that and return in a few days or weeks to be given more of the same or additional drugs that dig deeper and deeper into your pockets. So you think its helping but in a few weeks you are right back at the goodly doctor and the process sometime slightly altered is repeated…you never get well but the doctor is driving a brand new luxury vehicle and so is the owner of the pharmacy not to mention the drug distributors…everybody wins except the patient. We were always told that the body can heal itself given the right conditions. The challenge is getting to that condition that will assist the body in self healing. Most doctors will give you some of that information but generally, you better make the effort and find out just what those conditions are. After all, it’s your body, your life and you only get one of each. Here are a list of plants and herbs to pay attention to. They all have beneficial ingredients that if taken properly can improve and even cure, yes cure many of the things that ail us. Each will be given a full and thorough exposure in subsequent publications so continue reading and take care of your health…nothing is more important. There are also products that are available commercially that will be discussed and exposed.
