Why “Revert” to Natural Whole Foods?
Food advertisements leave the impression that man has vastly improved upon every aspect of creation. “Just consider man’s marvelous wonder medicines,” many will insist. But man’s puny innovations and mostly processed foodless foods cannot compare to wholesome, nutritious foods that God created.
Consider the following statement from Herbert W. Armstrong’s booklet Does GOD Exist?:
“But now let’s compare the wisdom and intelligence of man with that of God who brought these marvels into being, and keeps them functioning.
“The grain of wheat God causes to grow out of the ground is a perfect food. But, like other perfect gifts from God, man fails to value the priceless perfection of the All-wise God, and, undertaking to improve on God’s handiwork, perverts, pollutes, and defiles it! Every bit of God’s perfection man’s hand has ever touched, it would seem, he has besmirched, spoiled and polluted!
“And the poor, defenseless grain of wheat is no exception! Into flour mills of human devising go the millions of bushels of healthful wheat. And there the supposedly intelligent human takes it apart, removes the 12 alkaline-reacting mineral elements, and turns out for human consumption sacks of white flour composed largely of the four acid-reacting carbohydrate elements—with poison bleach added!
“Out of this, the human population makes white bread, biscuits, doughnuts, pastries, puddings, macaroni, spaghetti, gravies, etc., etc., often mixing flour with white ‘refined’ sugar and greases or fats—a combination guaranteed to wreck any stomach in time! Yes, the sugar refiners do the same thing to sugar; and nearly all foods on the market for human consumption today have gone through man’s factories and suffered from man’s processes until they have been devitalized, depleted of their health-giving requirements, and turned from foods into slow-acting poisons! And these foodless foods with which man has tampered in lust for profits have produced in human bodies a whole series of diseases our forefathers of a few generations ago never heard of!
“Result: Today human beings drop dead before their time with heart failure, others die with cancer; the population suffers rheumatism, arthritis, diabetes, kidney diseases, anemia, colds, fevers, pneumonia, and thousands of other diseases. We respond to the toothbrush and toothpaste ads and frantically brush our teeth, but our teeth keep decaying and we lose them beginning at an early age because of lack of calcium and fluorine in our diet.
“It would seem man is not very intelligent after all!
“Then, too, the God who created this earth and all vegetation told us to let our land lie idle every seventh year. But man is too greedy to do that. And so our land is worn out and depleted, and such natural good foods as carrots, beets, and turnips are lacking in the necessary mineral elements and vitamins! And drug companies get rich selling vitamin pills!
“Whose intelligence is higher—that of the God who provided every perfect need for every living thing or that of greedy, gullible, God-rejecting humans who in the interest of bigger profits and more luxuries for themselves have robbed the very foods God created and gave us, of their health and body-building values?”

HEALTH is in your hands by Martin Matthews
When it comes to determining, improving, or restoring your own health - only you can decide and implement what's best. The same is true if you're directly caring for another, particularly a child with specials needs needs and medical concerns.
No matter how much we'd like to blame the "system" for not fully supporting us, not informing us of available treatment options, and unwillingness to cover "non-approved" modalities despite their demonstrated efficacy - our health is in our hands.
I recently accompanied Julie to two national conferences on autism, at which she presented on Nutritional Intervention - an approach routinely proven beneficial for most who properly apply it. While nutrition is appropriately getting increased attention at select national conferences and cutting edge treatment clinics, the benefits of its application and even the sheer existence of this approach remains routinely underscored, ignored, or unknown in mainstream realms.
This is a shame - especially given that no other area of health intervention and improvement is more under our OWN control than Nutrition. The choices we make for ourselves, or others for whom we care, regarding a nourishing diet have profound affect on the physical manifestations of any illness or dis-ease. Science is increasingly validating this fact.
When faced with a trauma, one turns to trusted authorities and known professionals to provide hope that everything that can be done to help, will be done. With autism (and many other disorders) parents aren't getting this reassurance. Instead, many are told by their healthcare professionals that there is nothing they (the parents) can do. Often, the prognosis (for life mind you) is pharmaceutical intervention, institutionalization, and strong behavioral therapy to best cope with the condition.
I don't blame well-meaning doctors whose powerful words can strip hope from their patients - most of them do not know better - and this is a severe failure of a broken system of healthcare in our nation. Misleading "Op-ed" pieces like a recent article in the San Francisco Chronicle further elucidate the system's inability to consider patients' input and identify all possible treatment modalities, tendency to discourage patients who pursue alternative or holistic means, and blindly debunk non AMA approved treatments despite its own admitted failure to provide plausible treatment. People are routinely denied coverage for therapies and treatments determined effective by most of the remainder of the planet.
Despite their tragedies, more and more courageous parents of autistic children, and those facing countless other health challenges, are accepting the undeniable reality that health is in their hands. People are researching, creating support groups, educating their doctors about alternative and holistic approaches, lobbying congress, writing articles and creating blog sites. In the autism arena, parents are putting on conferences, inviting experts, tracking their efforts with their own children in order to increase the collective knowledge base for all. Indeed, parents' efforts are feeding the inquiries and progress of science.
Whether it's autism or any other health challenge you're addressing, the time to take control is now. We've learned that no care is more effective and sustainable that SELF CARE. While doctors, diagnoses, and treatments are imperative, no one can be in charge of your healthcare for you.
Nutrition Intervention is but just one method that is literally in your hands. Explore others, research, connect with others, there is always a way. Choose to be pursue health.
