Ebook Natural Herbal Remedies & Antioxidant Vitamin Wonders
It hasn't been that long ago that the Euro-derived medical fraternity was known to be less effective in various disciplines than some witch doctors and shamans were. It was only when the whole field of medical science was unified that Euro-derived practices began to be more successful in treating patients than their “primitive” counterparts. Gradually it became an established fact that only “Grandma” knew more than the medical professionals. Many of the things Grandma preached came under scorn and faced stiff ridicule from the scientific community for no better reason than because she was their competition. Now, as we all know from watching commercials on television, Grandma has been safely relegated to her rocking chair.
Thus it is, if you watch the news closely you will find the things Grandma advocated have been trotted out and proven right again and again, even recently although Grandma is not mentioned as the source any more – probably because her press agent died a few years ago at the ripe old age of 107. Incidentally, he still had all his teeth.
The good doctors of today continue to harp on the necessity of taking VITAMINS. Now, the word we know as “Vitamins” has only been around since about the 1900’s. Before that time, foods on hand were the source for meeting vitamin needs. For example, Ascorbic acid (now known as vitamin C) was not identified as the reason citrus fruits helped prevent scurvy until the 20th century. However, trial and error had proven the value of both citrus fruit and green vegetables against scurvy, because Captain Cook ordered his men to eat fresh greens and citrus when available. Consequently, Captain Cook's voyage was the first long one to be distinguished by its success in losing no men to the dread disease.
Even before Captain Cook sailed the seven seas, Grandma, shamans and other culture “doctors” realized that certain foods met specific body needs. For example, ancient Egyptians found that eating liver could help cure night blindness, which the physicians of today believe is a result of vitamin A deficiency. Is it better to take Vitamin “A”, or to eat liver? Many people today are turning back inquisitive eyes to the wisdom of Grandma which has persisted solely because there is at least a grain of truth in her suggestions.
So as to leave no stone unturned, this report takes a look at herbal remedies that date back generations before Grandma got shoved into a nursing home. This report takes a look at antioxidant vitamins, natural sources of important vitamins and minerals, benefits of supplemental extracts and natural vs. synthetic vitamins. It is designed to give you an overview of the basic steps to good health as reinforced those natural sources.
With Grandma safely out of the way we have gradually come to accept the Pop a Pill mentality advocated by modern doctors. This mentality has all too many needing a wheelbarrow to carry all our pills in, or looking for a magic bullet to better health. Consequently, we rush from one MIRACLE ELIXIR to the next. Any of the improvement we do notice is soon lost or forgotten in the search for something even better.
Rue this from Grandma: Good health that lasts does not come from a potion; it does not pour from a bottle, nor does it pop out of a little pill. Good Health that lasts comes from balancing your entire system with its needs on one side and healthy practices on the other. The more shattered your health condition is right now, the more urgent is the need to get your entire system back to functioning smoothly on the basic premises of health. I am talking, WAY BACK. Let's start this discussion on this premise.. We can know what our body needs most by studying how far and how long we can go without it.
For example, people that NEVER exercise have been known to live fifty, sixty and even seventy years. So, we'll start that off in the sixth or seventh place. Without any food at all coming into their system some people can live from thirty to ninety days. So, let's put that in third place. Without any water available to the body most people can't live more than ten days. Let's put that in the second place then. What comes first? Air. If your source of air gets shut off completely then you won't be able to crawl more than a few blocks.
