Grow Your Own Health Care

I picked up a bumper sticker at the Acres USA conference recently that said “Grow Your Own Health Care”, and it made me smile.  High quality food, grown with simple means and minimal processing turns out to be the best health care around.  Many of the inflammatory diseases of our age such as heart disease, cancer and diabetes are actually caused by mal-nutrition, and can often be treated successfully with certain high quality raw organic foods.  Jerry Brunetti has put together a video about his recovery from terminal lymphoma using natural cures that consist primarily of raw organic food, and another video about food as medicine.  Consider, too, that much of the third world eats healthier foods than we do in the United States and they don’t have (or need) healthcare insurance. In deed, the healthcare insurance crisis in the United States is, at its roots, a health crisis that has been building for the last 70 years, starting with the introduction of chemical based farming and the so-called Green Revolution.
