The Whole Food Farmacy
"A place to get whole food snacks"
We can  manage our own health and it is a must for good health. The human body was created to repair itself and will do so if we take the
initiative to assist it by first using what our creator provides (herbs, whole foods, pure water),  which is always the safest form of nutrients that our body can
easily absorb. We just need to learn to listen to our bodies as it communicates to us.  The body  often uses pain and discomfort as a means to tell us
something is wrong and we need to change something, for example, when my lower back starts to ache it tells me I've been sitting too long and probably
sitting incorrectly, moving around or checking my posture usually corrects the pain.  However, I've seen people with the same complaint remain in the same
position and just complain or go get pain medication for something that could be easily fixed.  When we use pain medication it covers what is wrong and
seldom do we seek out the problem and fix it, so it then worsens and becomes chronic.
Our bodies talk to us to let us know something is wrong but usually we are "too busy" to listen or we don't trust our instinct because we've been told for so
long by the medical industry that we aren't qualified to know what we are feeling.  We are more qualified than anyone else to know what is going on in our
own bodies because "we live in them" we just need to pay attention and trust our instinct.  Everything we ingest will either promote health or disease, we
need to look at what we are eating and drinking and associate it with how we feel, which could even be a couple of days later.

One size does NOT fit all, our bodies are unique and very individual.  Has this ever happened to you?  You read that a certain substance
worked amazingly well for a person and they suggest everyone try it, so you did, and it doesn't change any symptoms for you so it's automatically dismissed
as just another scam.  There are so many variables that play into the outcome, such as dosage, was it the correct amount for your body weight or deficiency?
 The body chemistry might be different from that person's which would change the outcome.   This is why it is so important to manage our own health,
because there are so many different nutrients and minerals that can change our chemistry, as well as, rest, exercise, and our emotional state of mind.  We
should not blindly ingest anything in our bodies without first knowing what is in it and what it will do, especially drugs, all drugs have side affects and some
can be worse than the symptom that is being treated.  We go back to get treated for this new symptom (side affect) and chances are the doctor will not say it
is a side affect but will prescribe another drug to fix that symptom (side effect), which creates another side affect and so it goes on until anywhere from 3 to 5
or more drugs are taken on a daily routine with no "quit date," on the calendar and worse yet the under-lying problem is not being corrected so health starts
failing and disease is on the horizon.

If they don't recognize the symptoms or have a "pill" for them, it doesn't exist. Unfortunately the pharmaceutical industry has now
created numerous new drugs for most complaints.  There has been a war on illegal drugs for decades but the abuse of legal drugs, in my opinion, is the
greater problem in todays culture.  Every other ad on TV is now promoting a "new" drug and the drug usually is for one area of the body or another, just like a
special doctor for this area and a special doctor for another area.  The body should be treated in whole, not dissected  with the isolated parts all being
treated to the exclusion of the whole person. It is my hope to teach, those that will listen, some basic truths about the human body and what it needs for good
health, not only the physical needs but the emotional and spiritual as well.

Every substance we ingest has the potential to do harm or good and much of the time we don't give a second thought to what we are
ingesting.  The FDA approves it, so we believe it to be safe, and perhaps it is, but when the FDA approves a product they are approving "one" product
separate from others.  Now consider over the course of a day how many of these products you come in contact with that have "safe" levels of toxins.  If you
just look around your home, your car, the food pantry and read the labels the amount starts adding up to a very
"unsafe" level, and the safe level is lower for
our children and the elderly.  Any one substance in and of itself would probably be cleansed from the body before it could do harm but our systems are being
over-whelmed with the constant influx of toxins, and the rising chronic health problems here in America are reflective of this.  

We  need to take responsibility for our own health, before their is a major health crisis, prevention is the key.  We cannot blindly
entrust our health to the government (FDA) or the medical establishment (AMA), neither entity is concerned about our health, it is all about the "numbers." I
should clarify that there are some very good doctors that do care, but more and more their practice is being limited  by  bureaucracy, and big corporations.
Don't take my word for it..  Go ahead...  Do your own research...You just might get angry enough to learn how to, "manage your health naturally."

MANAGE HEALTH NATURALLY
Prevention - First Defense
Do you know that most molecule's (drugs) are a synthetic version of  just one component of a natural whole food or
herb?  

The active ingredient that is responsible for healing is extracted from the whole substance or as in more recent years a synthetic version is made in a lab
by a chemist.  When one component is separated from the others it becomes more concentrated and can be more harmful,  when given the synthetic
version the body does not know how to use it and side effects are created. We can manage our own health and promote healing  using the whole food
instead.  Of course there is a necessity for proper medical care or treatment when their is a crisis or emergency, but it should not become a life sentence
of medications that become a way of life daily, especially as we age.  I do not have annual exams.  I've never had a mammogram and never will.  I've
managed my own health all my adult life. When I thought I had cause to visit a doctors office they didn't know what the problem was (more later)  but of
course prescribed a drug, an "antibiotic," just in case, surprised... Probably not!

Why do we just turn our health over to someone else and blindly do what they tell us to do?   It
would be prudent to be an active participant and know what you feel and "why" you feel it
because most symptoms are the result of poor nutrition, dehydration, and definitely mineral
deficiency, and lets not overlook "stress."

There are no "secrets" to good health, it is the same message that has been since the
beginning of creation. The most basic wellness information has been lost through
commercialism, consumerism and whatever other "ism" is profitable for the moment, not to
mention the inception of pharmaceutical quick fixes. There is a drug for anything and
everything.  
We, as a people, need to come together and say, "enough."  We do not have health
care in this country, we have "disease maintenance".

"My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge" Hosea 4:6


The body wants to be well and if it is given a proper diet (including herbs), plenty of pure water,
a healthy dose of the sun, proper exercise, and rest, it will  heal itself.


Prevention is always  the first line of defense, start today, one habit at a time!

As a naturopathy doctor, I feel, it is my responsibility
to offer to my clients  the information they need to be
proactive in managing their health.  It is my goal to
empower my clients with the right information
according to their individual needs because we are
all wonderfully and uniquely made and one size does
not fit all.
Absolute truths from our Creator, combined with my
education provides an excellent foundation for
wisdom and discernment in providing my clients the
best possible information necessary for obtaining  
better health.  
Naturopathy looks at the body in its completeness
and does not divide it into various parts.  If there is
an illness in one part  the whole body is ill, and it
very well could be a deeper healing  that is
necessary that goes beyond just the physical and,
this is where my faith is most valuable.
Health is not a mystery, it has been misplaced
