Diseases and eating habits (was: silica/ marvellous homeopathy magic)

[Eleana Needham]

Well... I wonder why scientists have to keep re-inventing the circle? It is
A WELL-KNOWN FACT since man came down from the trees (or space-whichever
floats your boat) that loving affection and attention, exercise and a
half-decent diet keeps man or beast happy! Poor rabbits...

It reminds me of another piece of "scientific" research that recently made
headlines in the UK which concluded that parents should talk more to their
small children rather than plonk them in front of the television or video
games because apparently nurseries reported a fall in pre-school language
skills.... now, precisely HOW much scientific research does that one need???
Or does "COMMON SENSE" have now to be scientifically proven before we
accept it?!?!?!

Off on another rant... )

Man came from the trees? I always thought they fell from the sky!!

It's a remote possibility that exercise might have made a difference--but
surely we're all, by now, aware of the fact that the human body requires
more than just food and work to be healthy.

You can obsess all you want about the "right foods" and "the right work out"
and still die of heart attacks, diabetes, and all the other supposed
diseases of obesity (that, ironically, attack more non-obese people than
obese people). Also: you can eat whatever you want, smoke and drink till
the cows come home, and live to a ripe old age. If your "right diet" is
more about perfectionism, self-righteousness, self-denial, or narcissism,
chances are good it will kill you before it keeps you healthy.

Point is (and I'll say it again so Hahnemann's work will not have been in
vain) we should stop looking for the "materia peccans" at "fault" in
disease: it really is silly to blame diet and lifestyle when health depends
on so much more than that. Food choices and lifestyle habits are very often
based in physiological realities in the body (as all our provings show,
again and again). I'd wager everything I've got on the assumption that
those bunnies lived more healthily because of the love and attention they
got along with their crappy food--and not because they got to hop around for
a few feet every day.

Speaking of diet,
The 5 year diahhreah client of mine,
Here is what I did to CURE her!
I told her to take Omnizyme 3 times a day.
I told her to eat 2 pounds of asparagus at one sitting once.
Then eat yoghurt and granola all day for 3 days.
Then I told her to give herself Vitamin B shots every day for a week.
Then I told her to take liquid B vitmains and ditch her regular vitamin
pill.
This cured her Diahhreah completely and her sore tongue and her edema.
I could pump her full of homeopathics all day long, but as long as the
original imbalance, deficiency was still there, it was in vain.
She has not had DH since and that was a month ago.

Exactly my thought. One never knows when man (that includes women by the
way) is going to strike. Man really is a rat.
