There is a lot of hype regarding the environment and global warming. It seems that everyone expects the politicians to solve everything. Some people want the environment cleaned up, but they don’t want to do their share.

Whatever happened to the basic values that our ancestors taught from generation to generation? In fishing communities they got a shellfish out of a shell, or gathered tulle reed and caught waterfowl while still preserving the marshland, or fished without out fishing the streams; they passed this on to the new generation or neither that home nor its inhabitants was going to survive. Even now it’s a necessity but we don’t do it.

It is similar in the logging industry, the farming industry; just look around. A lot of children have never seen a farm, a forest or even a large green field.

By trying to fix the environment we could compare it to shoveling in a snow storm. It is not getting to the root of the problem. The nature of the illness here is in the minds of people. The healing process requires us to make changes that are vitally healing for the family, the community and the society; Healing from the inside out.

Why is it that some people can even heal themselves of disease that are supposedly incurable? Because they have learned that mind, body and spirit are interconnected. Breathing in means life; sharing life with your family, friends, the birds and the skies. The breath is the only thing we have and even that is only temporary. Breathing out, means expelling what we don’t need but helping the plants grow. This may sound far fetched but that is really the way it is.

Changing our minds means letting go of our perceptions of securities, relationships, health and values, being open and accepting whatever discoveries and insights present themselves no matter how disruptive or what belief system you may now have.

Hats off to David Suzuki and his team for trying to make society realize how disconnected we are from our natural world, how this has made us and the planet ill. The way to health is recognizing and appreciating consciously that we are already home.

'The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest his patient in the care of the human frame, in diet and in the cause and prevention of disease' – Thomas Edison

Were Edison’s words prophetic? There is an ever-growing body of knowledge on the use of foods and nutrients in preventing as well as treating disease. Many common medical conditions respond quite well to diet therapy. They respond because good nutrition addresses the underlying cause of the illness rather than simply covering up the symptoms.

Have you heard the expression? ‘You are what you eat?’ What determines the composition of your body? Your genes certainly play an important role, but the way in which they are actually expressed is largely determined by the foods you eat and the emotions (stress) that you impose on yourself. Whether you are in a state of poor health or desire better health, improving the quality of the foods you regularly consume is a must.

These recommendations are not designed to substitute for proper medical treatment.
