Human life was meant to be sustained by the use of nutrients from natural sources. These sources are the foods from plants, vegetables, fruits, and herbs but not from animal sources.
It is these nutrients that the body requires to build tissues that are used to renew itself and replace those that are damaged. The body has its own defence mechanism which is the immune system. It is the immune system that defends the body against the numerous bacteria and viruses in our environment. For as long as the body has an intact immune system, these bacteria, viruses and fungus will have no adverse effect on the health of the individual. A person may be in perfect health despite the presence of bacteria, fungus and viruses on the skin, inside our intestines, lungs and in our blood circulation. The organisms are sometimes beneficial to us by their ability to produce some essential vitamins in the gut. This symbiotic coexistence is only maintained for as long as we keep our body well supplied with food that is properly balanced in order to maintain our immune system intact. The immune system has what are called defence cells and chemical weapons called antibodies.
It is these two parts of the immune system that keep the potentially offensive organisms at bay.
If an individual fails to keep the body supplied with the essential nutrients, then the bacteria and viruses get the upper hand of the defences and produce disease in our systems.
If we eat foods, which are low in nutrient value, we become deficient and susceptible to diseases like diabetes, asthma, cancer and virus infections.
Diseases like AIDS, Scurvy and rheumatic fevers and joint pains are just a few out of so many others that are secondary to some form of nutritional breakdown or deficiency. Whenever that deficiency is corrected by the resumption of a balanced diet, then the problem is solved and the disease disappears with all its symptoms and signs. Failure to achieve that means that one has not taken enough of the nutrients .A disease only becomes incurable if it is left for too long untreated till body tissues become destroyed beyond repair. In other words all diseases should be treatable using nutritional supplements to make up the deficiency.
Clinical experience shows that all deficiency diseases can be reproduced in the body if the nutrient responsible is withheld from the individual.
By the same token, all diseases should be treatable if the lacking nutrients are identified and supplied in liberal quantities.
The use of food items that have been artificially altered by the addition of preservatives, artificial colours, sweeteners or genetic manipulation may cause disease in the individual using them.
Foods like refined sugar where the natural composition has been changed by the removal of minerals and vitamins may cause degenerative diseases like diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis and many others. This is the reason why the animals that feed on molasses that we through away do not suffer from deficiency diseases which affect people that own them. Our close relatives the primates that live naturally in the forests are healthier than ourselves. It is because of their balanced diet that they do not suffer from diabetes, asthma, arthritis, lupus, hepatitis and even cancer at the rate they occur in human beings. Monkeys do not cook their food or try refine it like us and hence they do not destroy the nutrients that are naturally occurring in foods like unpolished rice, wheat and raw cane sugar which give the brown colour to those foods. Research has shown that by supplementing our diet with concentrated vitamins, minerals, plant hormones, enzymes and amino acids, we can eliminate most of those diseases that now afflict man. The pharmaceutical products that we use to treat many of our ailments are the very ones that produce the toxicity symptoms that the doctors treat with even more toxic drugs to compound the problems of their patients. An individual treated for high blood pressure ends up needing treatment for secondary impotence or muscle pains caused by the drugs prescribed for him. Those on treatment for diabetes often die from stroke or coronary heart disease both promoted by the treatment.
Cancer patients are more likely to die from the chemotherapy and irradiation treatment used to treat the cancer itself. Those that do not seek medical treatment in hospitals often live longer despite the doom predicted by their doctors.
Radiotherapy and chemotherapy destroy tissues and the immune system that are necessary for the recovery of the patient from cancer. The cancer starts in the body where the immune system has been weakened because of factor like chemicals used as medicines, poor nutrition, irradiation etc.
Therefore these same agents could not be reasonably used to treat the very diseases that they caused!
By the same token, toxic chemicals like AZT cannot treat successfully an immune disorder like AIDS without causing a further deterioration of the immune system.
In Uganda the author has used nutrients to improve the status of health of over 18000 people who had contracted HIV/AIDS. In 80% of these patients, improvement occurred within a short time when they started on herbal nutritional supplements combined with an increased intake of vegetables and fruits.
These results were met with violent opposition from the multinational pharmaceutical companies alarmed by our new found success based on our ancestral heritage. It is because they cannot patent these nutritional supplements from foods and herbs for financial gain and monopoly.
Supplements from natural sources are capable of successfully treating conditions like arthritis, diabetes, asthma, lupus, cancer and viral diseases like HIV/AIDS and hepatitis.
It is this potential healing power of herbs that prompted the pharmaceutical companies of the world to formulate the CODEX Alimentarius that threatens to take away the use of vitamins, minerals and herbs from the public through a United Nations legislation. The war against this multinational drug companies greed has started and it is destined to succeed. The deception is being exposed by the truth about the value of alternative medicine and the importance of nutrition. Medical doctors are experiencing an ever increasing demand for holistic medicine as opposed to allopathic chemical based drugs of the pharmaceutical industries. This is just the beginning and the end of the struggle is not yet in sight.
