When investing money, the principle is obvious. "the more you invest, the bigger your potential return". This is a universal concept. It's not just money though, this also works with your health.
We have met two different mindsets concerning health:
1. Those that ask how much do I need to do in order to see benefit?
2. Those that ask what all can I do that might help?
Those in #1 rarely see benefit through diet and lifestyle changes, and end up criticising the ability for these to work. They become the numbers who say "it doesn't work enough to be worth while". Why? They have invested so little that the potential return is tiny.
Those in #2 see huge benefit. While they might "do more than necessary", they achieve the results desired and live healthy without pharmaceuticals. They become the poster child of natural health.
Why the difference? It's all in the principal. If you only do what you think you must, you will fail to see much. Holding back, holds you back. How would a doctor respond if you negotiated which parts of his cancer treatment plan you participated in? "I really only want the chemo twice, no more, it's just too much". What would he say? And yet we do just that about natural healing constantly. "do I really need to eat o ly organic in everything, all the time?". If you need to ask that, don't bother. It won't work for you with that small of investment.
Oddly, this same principal is what prevents most "studies" from showing benefit. These studies, by design, usually only study individual changes. They see small benefit if any, because individual changes are pointless by the principal. If you attempt to cure the flu by taking one herb, yo7 will fail. The study that tries to prove effectiveness will fail. Because herbs are not chemicals designed to bring an instant relief of symptoms, herbs heal. But only in combination with large investments in healthy choices.
I can assure you personally that it is possible to cure most modern degenerative diseases, simply through 4 basic nutrition / life / environment principles. We have done it. Our family of now 6 has gone from monthly Dr visits with long deep down times for sickness, to no Dr visits necessary in over 2 years. Many many ailments are j7st gone on their own. Herbs now heal effectively where 5 years ago they had no effect. The list of benefits is astounding, and it is reproducible in others and holds true over time.
But the key is.... Large investments. It's truly all or nothing. If your not willing to do everything possible to make health self supporting, you simply won't be able to. We have, we jumped in with both feet. When we started, we went through the kitchen and removed everything that came in a box, bags bottle, can. Gone all at once. Then we learned to cook. We replaced all normal drinks with water and fermented drinks only. We replaced all fruits and vegetables with ligands, all meats with our own heritage, soy free, pastured, organic non processed, antibiotic free meats. We filled our medicine cabinet with detoxing vitamins, minerals, and herbs. We threw out all wheat and sugar, and any product that contains either. We only ate vegetables fresh or fermented, never preserved without bacteria. All dairy was based on our own raw goat dairy. We threw away all personal care products like soap, shampoo, toothpaste, creams, gels, sprays, etc. We removed any materials from the house that would off gas (had a smell) from man made compounds. Wev threw away all pharmaceuticals and medicinal chemicals, gels, sprays, and etc. We stopped all alcohol, all caffeine. We poured out all vegetable oils, replaced with good organic well fed animal fats and coconut oil.
We made sure all spices and herbs were organic or beyond organic. We started regular detox baths and treatments.
All that and more, it was a complete life change. But it worked better than we could have ever expected. We as a family are alive again, healthy, cured of things that Dr say you can't be cured of. Life is good.
So please, save yourself, save your children (born or not yet born). Reject modern wisdom and return to God's ways. They work. But only if your fully committed. Don't pray for health, or deliverance from disease caused by our own actions. Life right, and God will provide the healing, usually through the processes he already put into place for us. He designed our world, our lives, our bodies to be long and healthy. The choice is ours.
