Naturopathic Nutrition

What is Naturopathic Nutrition?

First, lets take a look at The Law of Cure The law of cure, or Hering's Law of Cure, is the natural way the body heals or cures itself. We heal from the Head down and from the inside out. In other words, healing starts in the mind first (we must believe we can get well) and then it continues by allowing the body to cleanse by eliminating toxins from the body.

Diseases heal in the reverse order of which they began. It progress from the most vital to the least vital of the organs. What we call symptoms are actually a part of the process of healing, and we only hinder this healing by supressing the symptoms. Unfortunately much of modern medicine is about supressing symptoms, but this only serves to keep us sick.

Naturopathic nutrition emphasises the use of organic and whole foods as medicine. As as been done successfully by cultures throughout history. More and more people are turning to healthy eating as a means of living healthy lives. Naturopathic nutrition demystifies this journey and greatly aids in living optimally healthy lives.

If you want to get your health On Track, then naturopathic nutrition is the way to go.

How do we get sick?

Modern day life seems tailor made to make us sick. We breath polluted air and we eat polluted food and our bodies just can't cope. Not to mention the stress that we face on a daily basis from extreme working hours, financial pressure, frequent traffic jams, kids, and failing relationships that all work to weaken the immune system and make us susceptable to all kinds of metabolic diseases and leave us vulnerable to the nasties we should be able to just fight off. Add to all of the sugar that we consume daily (South Africans consume about 25kgs of sugar per yer, that's about 17 teaspoons of sugar per day) that is making us fat and sluggish, and is grealty contributing to diabetes and cancer. Oh most people think they don't consume a lot of sugar, arguing that they only take 1 teaspoon in their coffee, but if you start reading your food labels and discovering all the hidden sugars, you will see how that quickly becomes 17 teaspoons or more a day.

I tried a little experiment the other day, after eating healthily for a long time I decided to eat some junk food from a popular fast food restaurant. Boy was that ever a mistake, I was sick and had the runs for nearly three days after that. It made me realise that most people are just so used to being sick that they don't even feel it. Getting sick is anomolous, being healthy is your birthright.
