Health Food

Health Food Cures are where you find them. Some people say that the doctor's record of preventive medicine is disgraceful, but I don't agree. Doctors only get paid when people are sick so why should they prevent you getting sick? It would be bad business. Eat the right foods to stay healthy.

If you want to get right down to practical reading go to
don't waste health foods Or read on about the philosophy behind health food. What do food cures or healing mean to your health? It's not so easy to define.

If you haven't eaten for two days and have a ravenous appetite then you eat a large meal, can that be called a "cure" for your hunger? Won't you be just as hungry in two days time if you don't eat any more?

If your scurvy goes away when you take vitamin C, does that mean that C cured it? Or will it come back again if you don't keep eating vitamin C?

Proof of Poisoning

If you are being poisoned by fluoride in your water or mercury in the fillings in your teeth or selenium in the soil how can you prove it? You can't. All you can do is to try to avoid it.

Refined sugar is a poison, leading to low immunity and triggering obesity and diabetes. How do you prove it? Well in laboratory tests it was shown that 1 teaspoon sugar switches off immune responses of the body for three hours. But if you've used sugar all your life, how are you to know that you would have had the flu less often with no sugar? You don't. You might not be typical.

Proof of Prevention

If you eat 10 anti-cancer fruit or vegetables each day and never get cancer, does that prove that they prevented you getting cancer? No, you might not have got cancer anyway.

I don't really care. If each anti-cancer vegetable decreases my chance of cancer by 40% and I eat 10 of them each day does that mean that I have a minus 300% chance of getting cancer? Probably not.

But I'm still going to continue to eat anti-cancer produce, also anti scurvy, anti-gout, brain enhancers, vision enhancers and so on. I'd have to be pretty unlucky if none of the healthy foods that each protected 40% of the population helped me.

I don't care as long as it works

This site is all about foods that have "cured" other people, or "prevented" diseases, or just made them more healthy. They won't all work for you, because you are an individual, different from everyone else. But if you hit a disease with five healthy food cures at once, probably at least one will work, and who cares which one it was?
