Your Health - time to take it Personally
It is apparent that neither the drug companies nor your government are interested in your health whilst they are close to obsessed with your sickness.
What is focussed on grows so it is increasingly important that you focus on your own good health - because, if you don't, it is unlikely anyone else is going to do it for you.
So here's the Middle Path approach to maintaining robust good health, naturally:
the basics - a healthy body
There are two things which are necessary for your body to sustain life: vitamins and minerals.
Today many regard vitamins as pills which come in small containers from chemists, health food stores and supermarkets. They are not - these are convenience supplements which have had the useful ingredients extracted from plant or animal sources or, more likely, which have been synthesised in laboratories and factories.
Vitamins and minerals are substances which are absolutely essential to the normal functioning of our bodies and which our bodies cannot make for themselves. When we ate natural ingredients direct from nature we would ingest them in the food we ate. As people come to rely more heavily on processed "foods" which are often lacking in these essential nutrients due to the processing they have undergone, supplements have become the modern, convenient way of acquiring vitamins and minerals.
If you are taking vitamin supplements then you are acknowledging that the food you are eating is inadequate nutrition.
The good news is that these vitamins and minerals are readily available in plants and other everyday sources which, once incorporated in your daily diet eradicate dependence on pills and potions for good nutrition.
In the meantime, here are two printer-friendly pages which detail the important vitamins and minerals and where you can source them in common plants and foodstuffs.
A word of warning: genetically engineered foodstuffs are being manipulated for the benefits of the corporations, they apparently regard it as "advantageous" (profitable?) to create nutrient-poor plant strains so that we are encouraged to become dependant on their chemical supplements for "adequate" nutrition. The less processing your food has undergone before you get it the better. The more natural the source - generally the healthier it is for you.
Studies in Britain have shown that the combination of intensive farming methods and plant breeding has, in the past 50 years, reduced the mineral content of some basic foods by up to 75%.
That is why we regard the "weeds" as one of the most tamper-free and healthy sources of nutrients, their very robustness and widespread distribution make them unlikely candidates for the attentions of the multi-national food engineers.
