Take Your Health Into Your Own Hands

Story:

I am a senion citizen, raised on a farm where we had our own garden, beef and pork, chicken, eggs and raw milk. I no longer live in the country where I have farm-fresh produce so I supplement my diet with good food supplements and herbs. I never was a sickly person, and at the age of 79 I take no medications at all. I have found one needs to take their own health into their own hands and continually educate ones self what it takes to keep healthy. Medicines do not heal, they force the body to function. With proper nutrition the body sustains and/or heals itself without medication. Regretably pharmaceutical companies can make no profits from natural products, so they do not promote "health with nutrition". They should not be able to restrict our educating ourselves and subsequently being able to obtain the natural supplements and herbs that we want to use. Most of the things they have successfully had removed from the market, have caused problems by people who did not research or did not use according to directions. I believe each individual should take responsibility for their own actions. If one does that, the pharmaceuticals and FDA would have no grounds on which to stand.
