The First Step in Natural Healing is to Understand the Concepts

I have lived out on our homestead farm for several years and had driven past Rosha’s Remedies store countless times. I would also regularly read her advice and recommendations in her column in the local newspaper. But it wasn’t till I started to study herbs and natural healing in the online course from the School of Natural Healing that I felt confident enough to stop in at her store to ask what herbs I would need for myself. That isn’t to say others would have the same experience, but that is the way my mind works. I really like to know more of the picture for me to be able and willing to try something new.

I never really understood the idea of cleansing, for example. I always wondered what the strange interest in bowels was for all these herbalists, actually. Besides, I personally never considered myself as having any digestive or constipation issues, so why even be concerned? But as I was working through the course I finally started to understand the idea of eliminating waste. I was particularly inspired by watching David Christopher M.H. son of Dr. Christopher, give a lecture and overview on health and vitalism. I would highly recommend you watch the videos first as they are fun and inspiring but most of all help to explain the whole health aspect and philosophy of Dr Christopher. It was then that I realized it is not just about herbs. For years I have been using herbs or other supplements to target specific ailments and have not been treating my whole body. It was still an allopathic mindset – treat the symptoms not the problem.

With my new understanding I feel more confident to treat simple issues at home but also to work with natural health practitioners on some of the tougher health issues in our family.

Enter: The Swine Flu

Where you ready and confident when the H1N1 hit the scene? Like most of us you where probably confused, frustrated and perhaps a bit worried. But when you have prepared your health and your cupboards for such events you can face the unknown with more confidence.

I asked Rosha to do a radio interview with me ACN Cut to the Chase program with Rob Chase so we could help people get started on some herbs and stock up for future contagious illnesses. It seems like this flu will pass us by without too many people becoming sick due to isolation, but the Powers that Be are warning us that it will be back and worse then before. Well, thanks for the warning! We now know we don’t have any more time to waste. Next flu season will be an interesting one and NOW is the time to get as healthy as possible.

Once I put my mind to studying I was able to work through the course and start to apply what I learned. And it doesn’t matter if we have any pandemics or not. A strong immune system and good health is our best protection against viruses and other disease. Knowing I have more knowledge and a stocked up cupboard gives me confidence, peace of mind and a good attitude – and those are some of the best defenses against any illness!
