Are
there folks out there that remember the old days of the farmer and the farm
wives with checkered aprons? They would first awaken to the sound of a rooster, roll the
shade up and allow in the new day. Then
see that glorious sunlight coming up, reach back and stretch.
Feels good, and why? The
stretching compresses nerve root bundles and stimulates the parasympathetic
and sympathetic chains to awaken over 312 trillion pairs of nerves shooting
60,000 synapses per second through the brain stem.
The Mr. then goes out to tether the cattle and
prepare them for milking. The
Mrs. stays inside to prepare the first meal of the day.
She takes a big hunk of lard and puts it in a skillet to fry some
bacon where eggs and potatoes will later go.
She will maybe pour a glass of whole milk, water, and don’t forget
the black coffee. This is
called active metabolism. It
takes work to burn up this good food and sustain energy.
There is no diet soda, no low fat cereal, no bottled
water, and no low fat bacon.
Pay attention to your grandparent’s activities.
They are up early, getting that early morning sun, as through the day
vitamins A, D, E, and K are being stimulated and oxygen is being burned.
Sweat is being expelled and endotoxins are leaving the liver flushing
the kidneys so there is no room for bacteria to grow and live.
Some of the “old” folks would take a jug of
water to the field with them. They
may wrap a gunnysack around it to keep it cool in the sun. They would take a smashed lemon and throw it in the jug,
which is a natural astringent. It
is a natural kidney, bladder, and sweat gland cleanser.
Now here comes lunchtime after working hard all
morning long. Lunch is usually
light, maybe a sandwich and some fresh fruit with a glass of homemade wine.
The wine not only tasted good, but also was a natural healing hem
poetic red blood cell stimulator. Then
after lunch they may take a short catnap before going back out to the field
to finish up before suppertime, then early to bed and early to rise to start
all over again at the first light of day.
They can explain health, freedom, neighbor, integrity, promise, moral
value and honor.
Looking back, you have never heard of so many
pills and yet the quality of life decreasing.
In discussions with patients, some are taking 3 to 4 medications per
day. I have watched this to
increase through the years. Approximately
4 months ago I talked with someone taking 27 medications.
Where are the ethical health gatekeepers? You have the right to feel bad taking that much medication.
Maybe we could learn a few things from the old,
if we would just listen.
