we have changed our diet dramatically.  after a lot of study, research, and thought, i believe food can heal our bodies.  i also believe food can make us sick if we eat enough of the wrong kind.  we have hit our month mark of eating primarily fruit and veggies, grains and nuts.  the kids only had pizza once with friends, and jarom and i ate out only once, but we ate really healthy.  we have had more meals this month than probably our whole marriage, since it requires us cooking and chopping everything for us to eat.  our girls have become amazing choppers!  not only that, they have had an amazing attitude about the whole thing.  it has made me reflect on the word of wisdom, and how it says to eat this way, with meat sparingly.  looking at all that is in our food, and how monsanto owns most of the seed out there, which is now gmo, and in EVERYTHING, including our animals, because they eat the gmo seed too.   i’m seeing more wisdom in the word of wisdom.  even hippocrates new this to be true.  is life so busy that we must eat everything from a box or package?  are any of us wondering why we are sick and fat as a nation?  why aren’t we “preventing” cancer, why are we “curing” it?  isn’t that interesting?  i’ve read that 90% of diseases can be prevented through our diet.  they are even “curing” cancer with strict healthy diets.  why don’t we hear more about this, and what is going on with our food being grown, and less about prescription meds, which only mask your problem, never fixing it.  something to ponder about.  we only get this body once, and believe me, when you have health issues, i would much rather fix the issue than cover it up and feel like this forever.

i have also been working with a woman who is doing her phd in water.  we have had awful water in the places we have lived.  we have well water now, which is much better than city water, except for the fact that we have a lot of naturally occurring uranium from the mountain where they dug the well.  well, that can only cause kidney failure along with other problems.   so we put our r/o system we have on it.  thank goodness for my friend allyn, who is studying water.  i never even “knew” what r/o really meant-it cleans all the minerals and nutrients out of your water, leaving it “dead.”  so we have been “starving” our cells of hydration whenever we’ve had our system “plugged in” to the main water line.  since changing to pure spring water, i’ve noticed a huge difference in how i feel, and also how my skin looks.  it’s been an amazing difference!  do your research!  what’s in your water, is in your cells!  make it worth putting in your body.

Hippocrates of Cos or Hippokrates of Kos (ca. 460 BC – ca. 370 BC) was an ancient Greek physician of the Age of Pericles, and was considered one of the most outstanding figures in the history of medicine. He is referred to as the “father of medicine” in recognition of his lasting contributions to the field as the founder of the Hippocratic School of medicine. This intellectual school revolutionized medicine in ancient Greece, establishing it as a discipline distinct from other fields that it had traditionally been associated with (notably theurgy and philosophy), thus making medicine a profession.
