Food Matters: healing through nutritional therapy

We talk a lot about healing through alternative methods on this blog. That’s because alternative methods are the best way to heal your body naturally – whether it’s lymphatic massage, rain drop therapy or colonic irrigation. But it’s just as important to utilize nutritional therapy for overall health.

Food Matters is a new documentary that I urge everyone to watch. It focuses on the rise of disease due to processed and genetically engineered foods, the fallacy of modern western medicine and how an organic diet can help prevent and cure disease.

You are what you eat

With the wide availability of fast food restaurants and genetically engineered food, it’s no wonder that pharmaceutical industry is a $300,000 billion dollar business in North America. There’s a McDonalds on every corner, and citizens of the U.S. are some of the unhealthiest on the planet – chronic illness, heart disease and cancer are some of the most widespread disease.

Part of the reason for this is that most of the foods you’ll find at restaurants, and even at chain grocery stores, are devoid of nutrition, which leaves your body craving fresh nutrients. If all you eat is nutritionally barren foods, your body is going to be nutritionally barren as well – you are what you eat.

Heal through food

Many cultures that haven’t succumbed to the way of the West are still very healthy. How are they doing it? They are eating locally grown, organic, unprocessed foods. An organic diet, in combination with alternative medicines like colonic irrigation and lymphatic massage, can greatly prevent and improve common disease and ailments.

Look for foods that are grown locally in naturally fertilized, nutrient-rich soil. Once you’ve been on a pure organic diet for a while, you should notice the difference. This kind of diet not only improves immune function, but it has been found to contain higher levels of cancer fighting anti-oxidants.

Shop the right way

Not all organic foods are made equal. When you’re looking for organic food, make sure to buy from your local trusted farmers and only eat what’s in season. Check out our Organic Diet Guide for full instruction on how to eat organic.
