As many of you know, I love Nutrition. I love reading about it and learning all there is to know regarding holistic healing and mind body wellness. And much thanks to a dear friend in NYC (Kassie) my eyes have been opened about "the conspiricy" behind the food we eat. Before Kassie my learning had leaned more toward holistic healing more than on prevention; That is not to say I didnt' eat well. I haven't eaten much in the way of refined foods except for the occasional thing in social settings, but there were still changes I could definatly make to improve even that. So this weeks marks a great turning point. I now live in Kentucky where homebirth is illegial (which is unfortunate) and it seems Natural Things were going to be hard to come by (Ex: heath food stores, homeopathics etc.) However I have finally found a farm where i can by Real milk and Pastured eggs. My first delivery came this week and i must say it tastes delicious. Since childhood I have never tolerated milk well. As a baby my mother says i threw it up a lot and perhaps i was mildly allergic (I now see that my body didn't like dead milk: the stuff that has been killed by pasturazation and mangled by homogenization) But real milk tastes great with it wonderful cream on top and i haven't had any problems drinking it. I am now looking into a fruit/veggie coop to participate in. The only thing left is to find a meat supplier to buy pastured beef and chickens. In my reading lately It has come to my attention how much nutrition is lost because we are feeding our cows the wrong foods. They were not meant to only consume grains. Whereby they are not absorbing enough good nutrients..........affecting in turn our consumption of beef is now lacking in nutrients.
It has gotten me really excited and i have finally decided to finish getting my degree in Holistic Nutrition.
My dream (although probably too grandious) would be to heal the world with natural methods.
I just know that what you eat is sooo important to not only your physcial health but to your mental health as well. I have a grandfather who in his late 90's doesn't take any medication. Can you imagine everyone over 30 to never have to take the 20 pills you're going to have to as you get older because you didn't take that great care of your bodies. I think much of what is happening in the world would stop if we really took a moment to take care of our bodies, treat them with the respect they deserve and feed them real foods. All these mental chemical diseases would dwindle and it might even be the cure to cancer:) seeing as 100 years ago cancer was a rare disease. This is my utopia.................although realisticly i know i won't be able to cure the whole world but if i help in my small area maybe it will inspire others. So Thank you Kassie for being my inspiration and for opening my eyes.
