Healthy Living

---

I am not a doctor. I have studied and been in the medical field previously as a nurse. But more importantly, I've done a lot of research for personal reasons and have learned alot about getting and staying healthy. So I wanted to share some of what I learned with you. And hopefully gain further knowledge from your own experiences and learning in health related matters.

There are a lot of things in life that you should never just take someone's word for. Health and religion are two of them. Politics is another one, but we won't go there.

The information in this blog will never take the place of your own doctors recommendation (who hopefully practices natural, homeopathic or holistic care) or your own research. It is merely my opinion and experiences. Everyone's body and health needs are different; we are all uniquely created.

Just because I'm a Pastor and have some medical backround, does not make me the final word on any issue relating to either of those topics. In my opinion, the final Authority for both of the above is God, the Creator Himself.

I have suffered a lot of needless illness in the past. My body seemed to be under someone elses control, not my own. Countless doctor visits, tests, hospital stays, prescription drugs etc. etc. had no effect other than negative towards regaining my health.

I of all people should have known that I was looking to the wrong entity for healing. No one knows my body like myself and God. But I wanted to give you a brief synopsis of what my take is on health and healing that I will be sharing in this category.

I am a firm believer in natural healing. I do not advocate the use of synthetic medications. God created our bodies and He created natural remedies by use of plants and good old fashioned common sense to promote health.

Part of the problem with traditional medicine is the fact that they tend to mask the root cause for illness. They treat the symptom, as opposed to treating the root of those symptoms. It's like putting a bandaid on a broken leg it only covers up the real problem.

Please stay tuned for further posts to this category by me and in the meantime have a naturally healthy day!
