Getting Well Again, Natually

Getting Well Again, Naturally:  From the Soil to the Stomach - It's here! The updated version of From The Soil to The Stomach - with a new title and cover. A number of people suggested that I change the title so the book would be easier to find and identify as a book about healing yourself. In the process of updating, I clarified a few things and added a piece on arthritis. It still has sections on food, how to do serious detox, the importance of a supplement program, the absolute necessity for some kind of exercise, and a sample section on how to design healing programs with all of the above. Otherwise, it is still the book that was described as “an extraordinary book that illuminates why millions of people are degenerating into ill health. When the author comes down with severe rheumatoid arthritis, she embarks on a path to heal herself—and comes to discover that the food supply in first world countries has little or no nutrition in it. Most people are living on factory foods that are empty of nutrition, they do not know how to use supplements, seldom take time for powerful detox procedures, and do little or no exercise. Whether you are suffering from a little fatigue, or have a full-blown catastrophic illness, this book will teach you how to repair and rebuild you body and your life.”
 
P. 52 - "Constant hunger is the body's call for building materials that it can use to restore itself. When you eat, the body works for hours to extract nutrients, and whn it turns out there is nothing useful in the food, your body has used up even more of its precious resources for little or nothing in return. It is like constantly mining for gold without ever hitting pay dirt. There are huge piles of useless waste material everywhere as evidence of how much work was done, but eventually the mining company goes bankrupt. The same thing happens to the body. It has chewed and dug its way through all kinds of food, waste piles up or accumulates in every cell and tissue, interfering with function, and effort to continue rebuilding eventually go bankrupt because the body never hits the equivalent of pay dirt, which is the nutrition it really needs."
 P. 72 - "Your genes are not at fault. Genes are triggered into action - or fail to be triggered into action - by the subtle frequency waves given off by molecules of vitamins, minerals, and enzymes in your food. Those who blame our genes for illness are akin to those who blame rape victims for being raped. Genes are not the problem. Genes that do not work properly are the result of poor nutrition."

P. 81 - "European missionaries carried the white man’s diet around the world with them, becoming a potent wedge between people and the feeding traditions they had evolved over thousands of years. Everywhere they went, disruption of indigenous lives followed. People who depended on the continuation of their food traditions for maintenance of their high level of immunity were forced out of their sustaining routines, into schools and churches, and onto barren soils. They were fed Western foods right along with Western religions. The result was confusion, disease, psychological malaise, and death everywhere the missionaries went.
 
"Today, we do not have missionaries to contend with, we have marketing departments. A great deal of misinformation has been generated by marketing programs designed to get sales moving for a product. Once the misinformation gets out there, we build on it, creating a labyrinth of wrong turns in terms of our diet. If we do not correct these, we simply will not survive."
