Let thy Food be thy Medicine and thy Medicine be thy Food – Hippocrates. That is the message from the founding father of modern medicine echoed in the controversial new documentary film Food Matters from Producer-Directors James Colquhoun and Laurentine ten Bosch.
With nutritionally-depleted foods, chemical additives and our tendency to rely upon pharmaceutical drugs to treat what’s wrong with our malnourished bodies, it’s no wonder that modern society is getting sicker.
This is wonderful and valuable information, Maria, on healing through organically tended foods, super foods and vitamins ~ Excellent video!
Great vid Maria!! — there is certainly a huge disequillibrium and disconnect in regards to healthcare and the relations between person and medicine ~ it’s almost obscene when you research it in detail…..how big pharma continues to push certain drugs to doctors (who are like overpaid pill pushers) and continuously deny and ignore treatments and discoveries of great potential simply because they (the drug companies) cant patent it….in other words….make money off of it – with people seeking answers to better health……This is great info to get out there and let people know ~
Our health is one of our biggest gifts of all — take care of it! 😉
Hi Maria,
Thanks for posting this video! We had had it recommended to us, but had forgotten the name of it. 🙂 I haven’t gotten to watch it yet, as it is hard for me to find a solid hour of uninterrupted Time any more! 🙁 But, if he reflects the teachings of Hippocrates, then I know I will Love it!
I had the pleasure of observing Hippocrates teach his “medical” students through hypnosis. It was most interesting. I have also studied his writings, and they are fascinating as well. I am fairly certain that if he knew that today’s medical doctors referred to him as “the father of modern medicine” and took a Hippocratic oath upon graduating from medical school, he would be most displeased. Hippocrates was just about the opposite of today’s “modern medicine”. He was a vegetarian and professed it strongly. He didn’t have to be a Supporter of organic foods, as they didn’t have pesticides, insecticides, etc. as we do today. However, his first rule of learning the origins of a malady was to observe the living conditions of the patient – the location, the land, the housing, the cooking utensils, etc.
Hippocrates was a great Healer and teacher. We apply his teachings – and I suspect the information shared in this video – through our Healing Center. We are what we eat! And, we weren’t created with chemicals, drugs, etc. – only the pure, clean fruits of the Earth!
Great blessings of good health to you all! 🙂
Hi again, Maria. I finally got to watch this video, and I think it is outstanding! I think Hippocrates would have been thrilled to see this video. Of course, he would also have been outraged at the “modern medical community”. (I suspect he would have kicked our “modern” doctors out of his school! :)) He would also have been very distraught over the many lives lost due to the nutritional ignorance of these doctors.
The viewpoints shared in this video are the very things that we teach and encourage in our Healing Center. They are a reflection of the teachings of Archangel Raphael (Archangel of Healing). One thing he has taught that I didn’t see reflected in this video that is very pertinent to good health is the level of sodium in the body. Perhaps that is only because the mysteries of sodium are just beginning to be unlocked by researchers. It is absolutely key to good health to maintain an optimum level of sodium in the body. Sodium deficiency is the biggest threat to the health of a vegetarian, as we are taught in naturopathic training (and by Raphael). Sodium is required for every fluid in the body – blood, lymph, urine, sweat, tears, etc. Without it, our organs will dehydrate internally, shrivel, and we have “degenerative disease” as the medical community calls it. Sodium will even lower blood pressure. So, fill your salt shakers with solar dried sea salt. Take a relaxing foot bath in warm sea salt water. And, enjoy your good health! 🙂
Thanks, Maria, for bringing this great video to Divine Earth for all of us to share. 🙂
