The study of natural health endorses a healthy diet of organic whole grain, vegetables, and fruits. We learn in the study of herbs that the medicinal values are in the life force (energies) of the mineral, or plant, not their isolated chemicals. We learn that eating close to the earth will make us healthier. We learn that the secret to a healthy, long life is holistic, the marriage of spirit, minds, and body.
Nature is the source of healing in the eyes of natural healers. We believe that everything needed to lead happy and healthy lives is provided for us by nature in unaltered forms. We question the motives of those who disagree with that perception. On the other hand those who disagree are also a part of nature; from their viewpoint nature's plan is to endow us with the mind power to alter the makeup of nature, thereby enhancing the quality of our existence with the application of that knowledge.
That is the dichotomy in the search for truth. The art of mankind is to discover, and because of that, we are developing an intimate understanding of the macro and microcosm of the material universe. The scientific minds of the world are ever experimenting to discover new combinations to activate. In the recent past, particularly the past three hundred years, science's pursuit is reducing the material world into smaller and smaller particles. Science now applies new innovation that is altering and changing the very nature of nature.
In the science of bio-technology they alter plants, animals, and humans at the genetic level of creation. The perceived good in doing that is to produce perfect humans, animals, and plants. Humans and animals that have propensity for specific disease can be altered in DNA. Recombinant biological technology makes it possible to clone, alter, and change both simple and complex life forms. DNA can be changed to change the expression of a plant or animal. These altered expressions of life can create new medicines, foods, animals, and even human beings making man the ruler of creation.
"Who would define perfect?" The idea of delegating that power into the hands of any man, company, or country poses a danger, even more powerful than our most sophisticated weapons. History demonstrates that when man becomes the director of any endeavor, the motive to profit is likely to bring effects that are not always in the best interest of mankind or our friends in nature. What do you think?
• My biggest FEAR in life is becoming dependent.
• The idea of depending on my boss, a medical doctor, expensive insurance or the government for my health care does not feel right.
Are there Solutions?
The answer is YES
