Illness has been treated by natural means since the beginning of time. Only in the last hundred years has modern medicine begun to supplant traditional healing therapies with drugs and surgery. In order to come to our senses about what is best for our health, healing and prevention, though, we must remember that illness is caused by nutritional deficiencies and other factors within your control. This book delves into the basics of nutrition and natural healing, and the forces that keep us from reaching our health potential, including the politics of modern medicine, the marketing of nonfoods, corporate propaganda, and the toxic overload causing personal and environmental illness.
