We always hear and read the stories about new medical breakthroughs for a certain disease. What we don't hear is, how many of those stories are really telling the truth? Here are some shocking facts!

The answer came after a nice chat in hardly five minutes. A disrupted acid ~ base balance (pH). Never heard of it, but as I found out later, every farmer knows about it! It sure is the biggest secret to improve your health in a short period of time. After nearly three years my problems vanished in eight weeks with only a strict diet.

This is where my journey started. I read all the articles in the newspapers I used to skip before. Magazines, TV, international seminars and off course the Internet. Step by step I started to make some small changes in my diet, started to use supplements and most important: measuring my results! It became a rollercoaster ride. From a school figure 9.3 to a 3.8 on the downside. Living healthier isn’t easy with the temptations of all those processed foods!

On one off the presentations I met Dr. Robert Verkerk from the Alliance of Natural Health (ANH). He did a presentation about the up coming Codex Alimentarius food rules witch is a big tread for our natural health freedom. Isn't it funny that they seek evidence about supplements and double blind controlled studies done with vitamins. Why funny? Because an article published in the British Medical Journal showed me some interesting facts about medicines.

Didn’t you hear all those stories about quackery lately when it comes to vitamins and minerals? Here are the facts about the medication the doctor uses to cure diseases. 13% is proven to be beneficial to help overcome a health problem. 46%! Yes, you read that right, from 46% they haven’t got a clue what it’s doing inside your body. The remaining 41 percent is sometimes a benefit; sometimes the side effects are worse than the complaint itself; sometimes it even has the potential to kill! After I had the time to really think about those figures, it sounded like a Russian roulette to me. Played in the doctor’s office and most off the patients not knowing about it! And the doctor; Does he or she knows the truth, or is he or she brainwashed by the pharmaceutical marketing machine.

I consider myself lucky, having the knowledge and putting my trust in natural medicine. People, who change their diet and use supplements, avoid dangerous foods, are looking younger, are feeling better and will have more energy that's doesn't sound strange to me. Looking around I would like to shout it from the top of the roof: "Hey folks, don’t you know?" But I learned that people don’t react most of the time on the voice of a stranger. That’s why I try to encourage you to learn more about it and help me spread the message.
