NUTRITIONAL COUNSELING

As I keep mentioning in all my writings, the human body is a miracle in action, and it is even capable of extracting nutrients from the poorest of food sources. However, it doesn’t take long before an obvious “limitation of matter” begins to put in an appearance in the form of the all-too-common obesity and ill health found so pervasively in our so-called modern society. I think it was the devil who temptingly said to Jesus, “command that these stones be made bread.” That gives a pretty accurate portrayal of what we’re asking for. As if greasy fast food and processed, lifeless articles of consumption could be somehow transformed into nutritious, life-giving sources of health and wellness. It can’t be done. Just because these man-made products are so readily available, it doesn’t mean we can eat them without consequence.

The Life Force (Innate Intelligence) can be blocked from expressing itself properly if there is chemical interference. This includes ingested substances which clog up cells, tissues and organs, create stagnation and putrefaction and bring toxicity to the body. Unfortunately, most of what’s on supermarket shelves will do just that. In fact, who you are is a human being here on a planet which is prepared to support your life on a nutritional basis. Imagine yourself in a world without industrialization. You would be eating directly from the earth so to speak; roots and greens from the ground, fruits from the trees, and unless you’re vegetarian, animals and fish taken from the wild. So the next time you shop for food, ask yourself if the product you’re interested in actually comes directly from the earth, rather than being artificially created. Last time I checked I couldn’t find any margarine trees or aspartame plants! And by all means, buy organic whenever possible. Who needs the nasty side effects of antibiotics, pesticides and artificial hormones in our bodies? Even better, grow it yourself. You’d be surprised at how many vegetables you can raise in a relatively small area of space. Many plants can even be grown vertically to take up less room. I have thirty years of organic gardening experience behind me and I’d be more than happy to help you out in this endeavor.

Nutrition is a large and complex subject, but in this little essay I’m hoping to simplify matters. If it’s natural and comes directly from the earth, eat it; if not, eat it sparingly or not at all. And yes, chocolate can be natural!
