Healing Naturally: Nourish Your Body, Skip the Pills

Two giant industries in the world are the food industry and the pharmaceutical industry. Unfortunately, the food industry often harms us by adding various substances to natural food, processing it, and cooking it. This causes our bodies to struggle in digesting such food and store much of it as waste. Our bodies then accelerate natural detox processes to clear the waste from industrialized diets, which often manifest as ailments such as skin rashes, diarrhea, headaches, inflammations, and runny noses.

All diseases, through the lens of natural health, are simply the body's way of detoxing to eliminate waste. It's indeed uncomfortable to have a cold, diarrhea, or pain, but it's crucial to know that these processes can be significantly shortened through quicker home detox methods (there are various menus available).

Yet, most people, instead of completing this natural process of waste elimination, choose to halt it via "medications" due to their upbringing. This is where the second industry, the pharmaceutical one, steps in. Medications suppress the symptoms of the diseases that detox our bodies.

We need to re-educate humanity, teaching them that Hashem gifted us a remarkably intelligent body. "As maintaining a healthy and whole body is one of the paths of Hashem..." (Maimonides, Mishneh Torah, Laws of Knowledge 1:1). There is no reason in the world why our bodies couldn't heal themselves from various ailments, mild to severe, through wonderful natural detox processes that are inherently occurring in the body, especially when we eat less and cleanse with fruits, vegetables, or water-only fasts.

Those who opt to suppress symptoms with medications harm themselves since the toxins remain in the body instead of being expelled via mucus, diarrhea, inflammation, or pain. Later, toxins seek another pathway for elimination. Most times, people still suppress them with medications, potentially leading to severe or chronic illnesses, confined to pills for life (not including emergencies here). So we face toxification from the food industry and suppression of the body's healing processes by the pharmaceutical industry. May Hashem have mercy.

I want to encourage you that there is another way, praise be his name! We need to learn the body's processes and start living a life with healing and cleansing foods, without medications.

Our sages say: "Ninety-nine die of negligence and only one by divine preordination" (Jerusalem Talmud, Tractate Shabbat, Chapter 14, 3). Ninety-nine percent of people die prematurely due to neglecting their health, while only one percent die at their appointed time decreed by heaven.
