My cousin, Anna, was a huge driving force in my shift to my plant-based diet. She gave me the books The China Study and Eat to Live during the summer of 2007. She just recommended I read them, but wasn't shoving any of her new found knowledge down my throat. That summer was a huge turning point for me not only nutritionally, but I began thinking of many things in a much more holistic and natural way.
I remember being interested in vegetarianism and veganism since I was a child. I am trying to remember if at a young age I ever thought about natural healing and can't recall. I grew up with a pediatrician that I typically only had to see for an annual physical except for a few rare sinus infections and a couple bouts of strep throat. My family wasn't one to use herbs and the like for trying to better our bodies. I fit right in with the majority of Americans and our use of western medicine.
Today I am fascinated with natural healing. My passion is nutrition and I strongly believe nutrition has the power to heal many things people commonly suffer from, specifically through a whole food plant-based diet (WFPBD). However I also believe the body can be assisted by other things as well such a herbs and tinctures. I do not have much, if any, education on the later topics, but I love learning new little tid bits here and there.
When I visit my family in my hometown of Bellingham, WA I always stop in a Wonderland Tea & Spice. The owner, Linda, has an amazing amount of knowledge. She can always direct me to great teas that can help with all sorts of ails. When I was there about a week ago she recommended some natural skin care products that she makes from the simplest ingredients. So far I am loving them.
Before I ramble on too long I want to get to the point of this post, which is to share a video I watched. Anna is actually the one who sent this to me. Dr. Richard Schulze will tell you a bit about his journey to believing in natural healing. I find it fascinating! I do believe God created our bodies with great power to heal themselves, when we fuel them with the things they need to accomplish their healing.
Think of creatures like the star fish or the worm. We are nothing like them genetically, but I've always been enamored by the fact if they lose a part of their body they can regrow it. Could humans have a similar ability? In the instance of human skin we are constantly shedding and regrowing it, so when I stop to think about a body rejuvenating badly burned skin such as Dr. Schulze had it doesn't seem that outlandish.
My late father-in-law was an Orthopedic surgeon. He was a phenomenal doctor. He was a good man who truly cared about his patients. I do not want anyone to watch this video and think I am trying to slam all doctors. There are doctors I think highly of and value their contributions. Western medicine falls right into western culture and many people (I won't even remove myself) are indoctrinated with this culture. Many people are looking for the quickest and easiest fix. Someone who messes up their knee wants the doctor to do the work for them. Orthopedic surgeons are high educated and skilled individuals. I think there desire to heal is admirable. I think that is enough said for now. I just don't want anyone to read this and get offended for misinterpreting why I am choosing to post this video. I'm more than happy to further discuss with anyone interested further.
