INTRODUCTION
– TAKING CONTROL

Since the arrival of industrialization, the creation of the God “Science” and the movement away from nature-based living, the process of healing yourself has focused on the quick fix of prescription medicine. Whenever anyone had an ache, a sting, or an insect bite, they turned to the medicine cabinet and its medicated prescription and over-the-counter drugs products for results.

If an individual coughed, sneezed or suffered from allergies, he or she opened up the latest the pharmacy could offer. Whether the problem was constipation or a swelling, someone decided the doctor, the pharmacist and even the television ads were right. For the longest time, we have chosen our cures accordingly.

This has not always been the case. In the past, people have looked towards nature for cures for simple problems. The whole of nature was a medicine chest with infinite possibilities to cure or kill. It depended upon the nature of the health problem and the skill of the wise woman or man.

While a plant, mineral or natural substance may not be able to cure appendicitis, it can and does help you with everyday problems and many diverse illnesses of different intensity. It is not “just an Old Wives’ Tale” that eating certain foods will decrease the likelihood of you becoming constipated or relieve you of your gastrointestinal system blockages.

There is more than a grain of truth in some of the old adages about certain fruits, vegetables and their derivatives. “An apple a day keeps the doctor away” is not simply a saying. It serves as a reminder of the beneficial powers of eating fruits and vegetables. The ingestion of roughage and vitamin C will help your body and its ability to function correctly in a number of ways. These range from helping ward off colds to abetting the healing of skin from burns to being beneficial in the fight against cancer causing agents.
