Surely it makes a garden more romantic and wonderful to know that Wallflowers, Irises, Lupines, Delphiniums, Columbines, Dahlias and Chrysanthemums, every flower in the garden from the first Snowdrop to the Christmas Rose, are not only there for the mans pleasure but have their compassionate use in his pain- Hilda Leyel

Gerson Therapy


This book was recommended by a good friend of mine. I am very concerned about the prevalence of cancer in our nation and many other nations that consume similar products and have similar diets to that of North America. It seems inevitable and quite probable that you or someone close to you will get cancer. The natural worrier in me does not help to lower my risk of getting cancer so you can see why it may be more of a concern for me. I enjoy and am passionate about researching natural, alternative, and integrative medicines, so I set out to do some MORE research on preventative medicine that focused on cancer. I remembered my friend mentioning a story that she had read about a man that had recovered from chronic migraines by changing his diet as well as juicing. In 1928 he had tested his diet on patients with tuberculosis and cancer. He had found this treatment to cure both! I continued my research and discovered a documentary on Gerson therapy with interviews from patients who have been cured of stage 4 cancers. The documentary shares a ton of information on toxicity in our foods and many other things we consume daily that the FDA approves only for the sake of profits. It is an enlightening documentary that may change your mind about the products that the FDA and your doctors have told you you can trust and are safe. It can be watched in full on Youtube. It is called "Gerson Therapy-The Beautiful Truth." I also recommend reading "Healing the Gerson Way." You may be able to help yourself or someone you love.

The doctor of the future will give no medication, but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, diet and in the cause and prevention of disease. ~Thomas Edison

"Ayurveda approaches herbs through a science of energetics. The properties of herbs are related systematically according to their taste, elements, heating or cooling effects, effect after digestion and other special potencies they may possess. As distinct from the complexity of chemical analysis, which often loses us in a maze of details, this simple system of energetics clarifies the basic properties of herbs. It gives us a structure in which they can easily be identified and understood. Therefore they can be used for the individual constitution and condition." - Yoga Of Herbs

Chakras are energy centers. Modern science calls them nerve clusters. Quantum physics, seemingly more than any other scientific discipline, provides us with support for the existence of the human energy field as a dynamic pattern of weblike interconnectedness.

Tradition is a key element to the Root Chakra BUT sometimes traditions are outdated especially when it comes to traditional foods in our nation. ” What once ensured out survival is NOW killing us. “ 
“ 60 million people could be fed adequately with the grain that could be saved if Americans reduced their meat intake by just 10%! Our bodies evolved over millennia to assimilate foods that are found in the natural world.” Genetically these foods are optimal for the most functional living. Imitations or PRESERVATIVES found in foods hinder an optimal lifestyle. Foods from the natural world are primarily root veggies and whole grains. ” We all have an opportunity to increase our respect for our bodies as well as our planet. “ 
This is AMAZING information. WE ALL NEED TO KNOW THIS!!!!!
  “If we choose to look very deeply at our origins, we will find that EVERY single past event creates our being. We are a cumulative sum of our ANCESTRAL and individual energies, spiraling together, forming the matrix of our outer body shell. So when we here the phrase Its in your genes, we are really about our connection to ancient cellular memory. This vibration carries with it the foundations of physical life and needs of survival, including core issues like family, food, shelter, sexuality, and trust.” WE are wired for survival!!!

I believe that there is a subtle magnetism in nature, which, if we unconsciously yield to it, will direct us aright.
-Henry David Thoreau


” Food has always been an essential part of the daily ritual of living, and the foods we were fed in childhood have left a very deep impression on us. At an unconscious and conscious level, they help us feel safe and cared for.” -Northrup
