Our
Health Is Our REAL
Wealth
When I was young, I didn't
bother at all about my
health. Just like any
healthy kid, then and now,
health was the least of my
concerns, even though it
was a subject we studied in
school. Thankfully for me,
I grew up in a remote rural
village where the only
health-destroying junk food
one can buy from stores
were candies. But even that
didn't appeal much to me as
freshly picked fruits were
more delicious to the
palate. For meat, milk,
eggs and vegetables, we
didn't have to take the
trouble of crossing a river
and ride a rickety bus 20
kilometers to the nearest
market. We raised
poultry and grew vegetables
in our backyard for our
needs and to share with
neighbors. Our farm animals
provided the milk. Thus we
had a daily supply of
farm-fresh and healthy
foods that didn't cost us a
penny but the time we spent
in growing
them.
Years later I moved to the
big city, hundreds of miles
from home, for my college
education. It was
altogether a new life for
me with so much city
glitter to feast my eyes
on. Food has always been my
FIRST interest so on my
first trip to the
supermarket, the
beautifully
packaged foodstufs
prominently displayed on
the shelves with images of
mouth-watering,
finger-licking "so
delicious" food, grabbed my
attention ... and had me
buying without
hesitation.
Did I like what I bought? No.
Maybe because I was not used to
the taste of processed food the
same way that city kids do not
enjoy eating natural foods
because they are not used to
it. Over the years, that bias
never changed. And boy, was
I grateful that it was so
because, without me realizing
it, it kept me in tip-top shape
all along,
healthwise.
So I grew up in the
best of health and
remained so to this
very day. I've never
experienced hospital
except once when I
figured in a minor
vehicular accident on
my way home from work
for which I was brought
to the hospital by my
cousin, a doctor, who
closed the cut on my
leg with a 9-stitch
needle work. But I
didn't have to lie in
bed. I went home right
after the treatment.
Oh, yes, I did get sick
through the years but
they were ordinary
ailments like flu,
colds, headaches, upset
stomach.
At my age now (secret),
as I reflect on life, I
couldn't help but be
thankful that I grew up
eating -- and loving --
natural foods. Quite a
number of my friends,
some of whom years my
junior who were born
with a silver spoon in
mouth, are now
suffering from
degenerative diseases
like heart ailments,
cancer, diabetes, etc.,
and are hospital
frequenters; some
spending days on end in
a wheelchair for the
rest of their lives,
others already "gave up
the
ghost."
So ... what's my point in
saying all these in this
article?
Well ... I just wanted to
share my view, developed
from experience, that
HEALTH is our
only REAL
WEALTH in this life.
Lose it and everything else
becomes
meaningless.
You may be the richest man
on earth living in a
palatial home, traveling
the world on your own
Gulfstream G550 jet, riding
the waves in your own
multi-million dollar luxury
yacht but ... would you
appreciate food if you are
suffering from stomach
ulcer or colon cancer?
Would you desire
to take part in a
dance party with friends
when you are stuck in your
wheelchair? Would you
gleefully sing under
the shower when you have to
be assisted to be able to
bathe?
So
don't take your health --
and your family's -- for
granted.
Now,
let me share with you an
information I stumbled on
while searching the net for
info about a friend's heart
ailment to be educated
about the disease.
"Forewarned is forearmed,"
as the saying
goes.
You see, I always turn
to OTC drug whenever I
feel sick to relieve me
of the physical pain
that's afflicting me,
albeit ordinary, like
migraine. So I was
skeptical, at first, about
the author's statement
(especially because she's
not a medical authority)
that one doesn't need
chemical-based medical
remedies to get cured of
every disease that he/she
may be suffering from ...
that even the
terminally-ill have hope to
be restored to vibrant
health without having to go
under the knife or be
subjected to painful
radiation
therapy.
But as I read through the
information, I saw her
point. She may be "just" a
researcher/writer but the
information she spent years
researching and generously
shares in her book, frrank
and honest, are much more
credible than any knowledge
and education that could be
gained from medical schools
or those propounded by
biased
scientists.
Her research is not without
objective scientific
proofs. But even if it is
not backed up by actual
cases of successful
clinical treatment of
people who have recovered
completely from
life-threatening diseases
and published as case
histories, I am inclined to
agree with her because of
the glaring fact that in
spite of advancements in
medical science and
technology, there is no end
to the growing number of
people getting sick -- and
sicker -- necessitating,
thereby, the putting up of
more hospitals, especially
in the third world, since
existing ones are bursting
at the seams such that
patients had to to be
accomodated and treated in
hallways and
corridors.
I'd
like to tell you more
about the book but
I'd rather that you
read the information
yourself at
http://www.1shoppingcart.com/app/?af=1055680 so
you can better
appreciate its value
as the information
that the
world needs very
badly. A chapter of
the book can be
downloaded for
free.
Relative to our topic, I am
deeply saddened by the news
of the death of one of my
favorite actors, Patrick
Swayze, who lost his battle
with pancreatic cancer. I
was just thinking maybe ...
just maybe ... he could
have been saved from an
untimely death had he known
about the ONE-MINUTE CURE
book.
We have lost another great
actor (how many more would
we lose?) to the scourge of
cancer which medical
science cannot -- and never
will -- find solution to
for as long as it remains a
tool of the pharma industry
for revenue growth rather
than for the interest of
the public at large, that
is, disease prevention
instead of merely treating
symptoms.
Indeed, something
is wrong -- really,
really wrong -- with our
health care
system. But it is
a multi-billion dollar
industry now
fast approaching the
trillion dollar
mark. It's good
business, don't you think?
The more people falling
ill, the more money
in the
bank, right?
Never mind if
the wretched
sick are sucked dry
down to their last penny
and then ... die. Who
cares? Not the giant
pharmas! Not the greedy
capitalists! Not the
heartless doctors!
... not the funeral
parlors!
Would you simply go on with
your life as though you'll
never get sick ... never
die of
sickness?
