I believe the pharmaceutical companies are creating drugs that ruin our bodies so we need to take more of their drugs the rest of our lifes. It is a great way to make money. Psych meds cause diabetes, and in my experience chronic pain, possible ms and autoimmune diseases. It is a great way to stay in business. People say not to go buy herbs because they haven't been tested. Well I have seen pharmaceuticals that are tested for a month or so and deemed safe. Then years later a class action suit comes out. We are guinea pigs. You can't test something for less than a year and know it is safe. I would go with an herb any day. Had i known what i do now i would never have taken a pharmaceutical. I am in pain every day.

Big hugs!!! Yes, you are correct.
I wanted to respond to let you know if you don't already know that ionic foot baths are amazing at pulling out the toxins in your body from medicines, environmental, and much more! I have seen people with arthritis go from not being able to function daily to running on a regular basis just from changing their lifestyle; nutrients and ionized foot baths.
Not all are the same, usually chiropractors or yoga centers offer this.
If you haven't tried it already, you should look into Bentonite clay. Draws out toxins amazingly well. You just take a teaspoon in a glass of water and chug away. Kind thick but hey, it works wonders to pull the positively charged (bad, toxic) ions out of your body.Originally Posted by ThetaAbundance

I want to try this and I keep thinking about it, get rid of sludge in our intestines and parasites, among much more.. My only reason for not trying it yet is I heard it is really nasty to get down.

I wanted to add one more thing.. keeping an alalized body rids the body of disease. So, I'm not there by far (ha), but those who I know who balance their body seem to feel better and look amazingly younger as the days pass.
Well I don't know if drugs can cause diabetes but I do believe that companies and some politicians are looking for ways to keep us hooked. Like Chris Rock said, they don't want us to take our drugs, they want us to take their drugs. And just look at how they were throwing a fit when people started getting drugs from Canada. Lawmakers were practically falling over themselves to outlaw the practice. Oh yeah, they're scandalous.
But I can't help but ask, what have you done to improve your health? No offense, but when we don't make an effort to take care of ourselves, we're setting ourselves up for possibly getting caught up in their web. They want us to stay sick and we keep playing right into their hands. All the fast food, the chemicals we take in, all the meat and dairy... On and on it goes. And I know people don't want to hear it, but it's actually true that if you cut out meat and dairy, you significantly lower your chances of getting heart disease, cancer and so many other diseases and conditions.
We can't spend forever blaming big pharma. We have to take responsibility for our actions or we'll always be going broke for those drugs and getting hurt from them even more.
I do what i can. I have researched tons of ways into healing. I want to be healthy. I try not to eat fast food. I try to eat foods that have not been processed. I like veggies and berries, meat that is not processed. Every ones body is different. Some do fine without meat and other people feel horrible without it. I can't get a doctor to help me. they thought i had an ulcer so i was put on proton pump inhibitors when nothing like that is wrong. Now i am having trouble eating. Please do not assume i do nothing. I am trying what i can. The doctors have been horrible. they will not run tests. It is complicated. You do not know my story. It would take pages to write. It has been hell and sometimes i think i will not wake. Today i haven't hardly been able to eat. I do what I can. It is hard fighitng for my life.
I wasn't saying every disease is caused by them, but yes some meds can cause diabetes. especiially mental health meds. I think it was seroquel or zyprexa. All they have to do is convince you you are crazy so you get on those meds and end up with diabetes. And once you have a mental health diagnoses they will not test for ms, or lupus, or any other disease. they say see a therapist. Please say nothing to this. i am stressed and the only thing that will help that is if someone can tell me how to make the neighbors quit playing marylin manson and throwing bowling balls around all day. Meditation, a bath, sleep, is hard to get or enjoy in this environment. It is not conducive to healing. So if anyone has mastered that then come tell me.
I am sorrry. i am in a bad mood. I have been told over and over it is in my head. They let me throw up for 6 months every day and several times a day without giving me anti nausea meds. I am in a lot of pain and they offer me nothing. And finding doctors that tell me going from a fever of 102.5 to hypothermia is normal, doesn't cheer me up. I feel weak today and seriously thought i would be dead by now. But i am slowly feeling better. It is a better as in i have the strenght to sit up. but this a waste of my energy.so i am going now.
Yes I do use it once a week (more if needed but rarely) for a couple months and then start again if I need it, start feeling tired and dragged down. I mix a teaspoon in a 12 oz glass and it's not that bad. It for the most part doesn't have a lot of flavor but I also mix it with juice.
It's a lot easier to swallow than aloe vera juice...you ever tried that stuff? I finally found a brand that works very well and has very little taste at all.
Oh do share! Where do you buy it online?? I haven't tried the aloe vera juice.. share anything with me and pm if you want.Yes I do use it once a week (more if needed but rarely) for a couple months and then start again if I need it, start feeling tired and dragged down.

Do you feel better quickly or does it take a couple of months? What I was taught it works pretty quickly depending on what you have going on in your body. Longer for some, but I like first hand opinion.

Oh, don't listen to that post... I wanted to respond earlier to what was said but I realized I would be creating conflict and think I've been involved in enough for a few days...
You are right, it's not in your head. And it's okay to be in a bad mood, too! ((((HUGS)))) May I PM you?
Children Learn Respect BY Example
Beautiful. Thank you for this.
There's nothing I would add or change and I live my life like that always. My husband and I steam distill our own water and let me tell you, the sludge at the bottom of the steam tank (not the distilled water holding tank) from less than a gallon of water is disgusting. Now we use it for everything.
The sky drawing is another unfortunate thing but there was a beautiful large sylph destroying a chem trail rather rapidly (it had dissipated 50% of it in about three minutes). You can see it in the bottom of the shot and then the tentacles or arms were reaching up and altering the chem trails - you can see the chemtrail remains faintly in the shot in the upper left area going down and to the right. Taken on Thursday morning, January 22nd.
after 32 years of naturopathic healing i'm 95% improved. i was a wreck to begin with, in a family where woman die in their 40's (i'm 57). most of what's left is the result of pharmaceuticals given as a child -candidiasis from antibiotics. i "had it" 30 years before i, or anyone knew what to call it and by now it is pandemic. no one has been known yet to totally get free of these long entrenched cases.
what i want to say is all this natural healing info falls into the realm of naturopathy. check it out. along the way i became a naturopath. many of my postings here seem to touch on it.
!YOU DO NOT NEED TO HAVE A NAME FOR YOUR ILLNESS! change your habits and lifestyle. strengthen your vital force in every way possible. you will heal. its a deeply spiritual process, not intellectual at all.
It's called George's Always Active Aloe (it's everywhere). Here is there actual website but you can find it at a lot of places - http://www.georgesaloe.com/ . I get all my supps through vitacost.com (well, actually through mypoints.com and then click through to vitacost since you get points for each dollar spent
It works very fast. I also blend wheat grass, astragalus and this organic grape aloe juice I buy at a local discount store (hopefully they will continue to stock it) each morning and drink that. The aloe is so good it actually makes the wheat grass tolerable. I use a hand blender so it's very fast for clean-up.
Thank you for sharing this. What a journey you've taken and what a wonderful unfolding of good health. Have you tried priobiotics? There are some other very good suggestions in this link.
My Anti-Candida Diet and Natural Health Treatments
I'm sure you've read and research it all five times over. I read about this back when my dad had cancer and they had him on all kinds of drugs, then he caught some very serious immune bacteria at the hospital and had to be put on double dose antibiotics. One of the side effects he got from the antibiotics was candida. He was able to combat it only to start back up on the chemo which ultimately zapped the life right out of him. (He died in September.)
Your Health - Candida/Yeast Hypersensitivity Syndrome.
Hmm... This thread needs a dissenting opinion.
I'm not anti-pharmaceutical. Actually, quite the opposite. I acknowledge that some herbs do contain various chemicals that naturally have a synergistic effect, but many do not. The truth is science can identify and isolate the active ingredients found in naturally occuring drugs. We have also been blessed with the knowledge of chemistry. We understand chemistry (which is basically alchemy) so why not use it? Is there an herb to cure a disease like AIDs? By studying the processes of individual chemicals instead of an entire organism like an herb we learned abzymes can prevent and even cure HIV. My advice to all of you is to stop living in the past. Science has greatly increased the lifespan of humans compared to the days when apothecary was the primary method to treat illness. People ate jade, mercury and lead for fucks sake...
That being said, herbs are an amazing source for new knowledge. The amazon has given us tons of chemicals that heal, and we created a million more analogs based off the structure and mechanisms the natural chemicals use. And yes, there have been cases of pharmaceutical companies releasing products that harm and kill. I refer back to the part of my post talking about people ingesting toxins internally... What's the difference? I would like to see modern medicine use both natural and synthetic cures to illness. We definitely need to go back to the roots of our medicine, but to stop using well-researched synthetics? I don't think so.
Also, synthetic chemicals can be produced much cheaper than growing herbs. What is the difference I get pain relief from opium or buy semi-synthetic opioids?

thoughtful posting. you've raised some standard issues to which there are standard replies from "the other side" (i'm and herbalist and naturopath) but i'm too lazy to type them out.
instead i'm posting some links to interesting articles that i hope inquiring minds like yours will take a look at:
this one is a long curezone article on medical history (both "sides") and focusing on our right to choose. has a libertarian slant but you can ignore that if you want, especially the very first part---
http://curezone.com/forums/fm. asp?i=1202673#i
this is about a public health project in cuba this last summer that has fantastic implications. i'm posting it wherever i can:
Successful Use of Homeopathy In Over 2.5 Million People Reported From Cuba Official Homeopathy Resource
and i just have to say that the guys who had people eating jade, mercury, lead, antimony, etc. were the forerunners of our modern md's, who are still administering poisons, changing their medicines and methods frequently. the long, ancient line of herbalism that lead to naturopathy has always used just plants, whose properties never change, and basic practices that haven't changed over time. also natural healing is more about what you do than what you take. the things you take don't work without changes in diet and lifestyle. people do get well from "incurables" thru making these kinds of changes.
thanks, sharpinia. i'm sorry about your dad. everyone in my family dies of cancer, both sides. i turned down a laparoscopy for a suspected intestinal tumor in 1983. i was already 7 years into my healing and continued on my way. thats the last time i ever went to an md, in fact. i live with this tumor thing and it has never gone cancerous, due to naturopathy. all those women on my mothers side died young of abdominal tumors, including my mother, who had the most modern treatment of her day- experimental cobalt.
and yes, i'm a walking encyclopedia of candida treatment. your dad had an acute case- of recent origin. they say that you can get rid of cases less than 3 years old. everyone else seems to be stuck with it. there are a million ways to keep it at bay but it will roar back at any opportunity.
the old naturopaths said that there are no incurable conditions. they didn't realize what was coming: the degradation of air, water, food, etc. still, these long standing cases of candidiasis are the only ones i know of that might be permanent. and having said all that let me emphasize that *i continue*to*improve*steadily,*as*i*have*for*the*pa st*32*years*!
I've heard it said that the barium in chemtrails, mercury in vaccines and the sodium flouride in our water were specifically targeted to the 'indigo' class of people to surpress their brain function, rather than to target the general population which is already dumb enough to have voted Bush in for 2 terms.

New World OrderNWO
jeez, 3eyes, don't let anyone tell you you're crazy. for sure you have an iatrogenic case (caused by the doctor. yes, there's a word for it.) in the early 70's they told me my pain was psychological- "you are imagining pain because you want attention". fortunately i recognized that as bullshit. now they call it fibromyalgia.
natural practices will help you. i work closely with someone who is an iatrogenic wreck and the results in 3 years are amazing and heartening. PM me if you'd like.
i'm with you on this whole issue and your reasons for bringing it up. let me say tho, herbs have been researched for thousands upon thousands of years. homeopathy for over 200 years. nothing new there. they have been suppressed because they're cheap. the tipping point is here now, they will soon be mainstream and the whole story will come out: my prediction. am thinking about a blog...
cool. makes me feel important. seems to be working more on them than on us tho.
