Do you ever wonder why people get sick? Do you believe that constant swings between illness and good health are a fundamental and inescapable part of life? Is it natural to for us live for weeks or months or years with so little energy that we can barely get through each day?
A couple of years later when I watched a special on PBS about the link between red meat and colon cancer, you can bet I paid attention. I listened as the announcer described how little pieces of meat get stuck in tiny crevices in our intestines and then simmer there at 98.6 degrees for 3, 4, or 5 years. He explained that these pieces of cow flesh rot and putrefy, creating substances so toxic that they can change the DNA of our cells.
What do you get when these mutant cells start to reproduce? CANCER.
We lived in a particular way, ate particular foods, drank water with a particular chemical makeup, and breathed air composed of specific elements. Change any one of these things and the humans who consume them will see changes in themselves. Change enough things in an unnatural enough manner and all the systems in the human body will stop working as intended, and what you get is disease. Oh, and pain, and suffering, and lost productivity. If we collectively continue down this path without thinking where it will lead us, we get exactly what we see today in this country… people dying by the tens of millions every year of heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and other autoimmune diseases.
I don't have to delegate the responsibility for getting well (or staying that way) to a doctor who has some secret knowledge or a pharmaceutical company that has invented a secret formula. I realize that good health is just what results when we make all our choices wisely everyday—day in and day out—over a lifetime. And bad health is what we get if we make enough poor choices—or just act unconsciously so that the choices get made for us.
