The Red Brick Times

Is anyone out there interested in natural health? I know that Tim and Mark are but I don't want to bore the rest of you with something that you have not interest in.

Since we have always been "political" I have some real mind-blowing info about how the government controls (tried) vaccinations and also how we actually have solutions to many of the problems (health related) but that big business is so meshed in the mix that it would be way too "harmful" to expose it all.

Any interest????

I think that so many of us have been burned by past histrionic publicity from both camps (medicine vs homeopathy) that healthy skepticism is the norm. But, as the Vulcan saying goes: "Even Nixon went to China."

The environment we have fomented is inescapable, and human contamination is endemic, whether on the peak of Everest or at the bottom of the Mariannes Trench.

The long-term goal is to reduce the rate of change to a level at which the biosphere can adjust without killing most life. The short-term goal is to keep personal decrepitude at bay. To that end, information, rather than religious diatribe, is the best for informed choice.

We could lose tons of weight, and exercise every day for years only to lose internal organ function to an autoimmune attack. I believe that the seeds of our malaise have been sowed decades before, and cannot be reversed at whim. Our society made choices, and we are reaping the harvest.

Scientifically, we have identified compounds, chemicals, amino acids and proteins in our bodies, but don't have a farthing's notion of the overall good, bad or ugly .

Past generations worked much harder physically, suffered hurts and died early without any medical care. Some would say we still don't have any medical care, but only reactionary patching. But "developed" nations are living longer, infant mortality is much lower, and pain and suffering can be ameliorated somewhat even if a lawyer isn't consulted. Perhaps soap and clean water was the most recent revolution that helped.

I know that I need to know more about the nutrient content of available foods. It does no good to recommend a healthy diet that includes fresh sliced peaches and bananas if it is in February and the cost of shipping from Australia or Ecuador has raised the price to haute-cuisine levels.

What can we eat, locally available in ice-bound Ohio, that fulfills the daily vitamin and mineral need (without additional capsules, supplements or potions)? In the meantime, I will chew on this salicylate-laced willow bark to alleviate my tension headache.

Tension headache or liver overload (most headaches are caused by stress and toxic livers). Yes willow bark is wonderful as is feverfew. Good choice.

Liver overload? Other than alcohol intake and high-fat diets, and a blood test that shows the presence of liver enzymes, or other symptoms (like jaundice) that show incipient liver failure, how does one identify liver overload?

All of the above pluse consistant headaches sometimes migranes.
