Why are so many Christians in the dark (continuation)

Jeremiah 33:6 "Behold, I will bring you health and cure, and I will cure you, and will reveal unto you the abundance of peace and truth."

Prayer: “Lord, help me to appreciate and nourish my body as your temple. Help me to put you first in my life, above all other things.”

Genesis 1:29 “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food.”

I know it has been a couple of weeks since I last posted on this topic. The last few weeks have been rather crazy with a few unforeseen circumstances that arose and left me drained both mentally and physically. Thank you to those who saw my unspoken prayer request and have kept us in your thoughts. I know God will see us through and provide. I promise this week to update with more information mainly on the topic of growing your own. I have my files on our desktop pc. Unfortunatly, it has been taken over by Charlie this weekend in his quest for SillyCow to hit lvl 80 on WOW so I am limited to working on the laptop.

A little bit of what I did over the weekend. I finally got my planting started. We bought one of those patio garden planters that is allowing me to try growing upside down tomatoes and more herbs. I had planned on ordering some heirlooms but settled on some creoles purchased from Lowes. I also bought more herbs (sweet basil, cinnamon basil, lemon basil, oregano, rosemary, culinary lavender, several mints, parsley, cilantro and dill.) We have never done well with tomatoes due to the stinkbugs so I am hoping this season will be better with them off the ground. We also have a few pepper plants and several extra tomato plants since it was cheaper to buy in a 9 pack than singles. I plan on cutting a hole in the bottom of several hanging baskets and trying a few more upside down tomatoes. Once the Plant Show at Blackham comes around this April I will try to get some unique chives and odd parsley varieties. LSU usually has some good deals as well as some of the herb vendors. Last year we found one that tasted similar to cucumber which was interesting.

We came across this really neat gardening system at Sam's Club. If you live in Lafayette and are interested in square foot or box gardening go check this out. This would be great for someone living in a small area or little time to commit to a full garden yet still allow you to grow your own. They have one set up in the store right now. It is made of cedar, is raised and has a self irrigation system.

Today someone in one of the raw foods groups here on facebook left a note about a movie they recently watched that they they say changed their life. I felt compelled to watch the movie and must say that I was left in awe. I had already known much of the information shared in this documentary and clips of other mercury vapor tests similar to those that were seen and discussed at the Autism Conference I attended a couple of years ago here is Laffy. The movie I watched is called "The Beautiful Truth" and it follows the story of a home schooled teen in Alaska researching a book written 50 years ago by Dr. Max Gerson and his developments on treating cancer nutritionally. Dr. Gerson was poisoned twice with arsenic and his manuscript, "A Cancer Therapy: Results of 50 cases" was stolen and had to be rewritten and was completed shortly before he passed away due to arsenic poisioning. Watching this movie has inspired me to research more about Dr. Gerson and his writings. I was especially touched seeing the portion of the movie interviewing a survivor of a rare form of ovarian cancer. She was treated through the Mayo Clinic which eventually sent her home to die saying there was no more they could do. Now several years later and cancer free she returned to Mayo at the amazement of her treating physician at Mayo. He was asked to make a statement but declined, unfortunately, saying that he is "owned by the Mayo Clinic" and they would never allow him to say that a patient recovered without chemotherapy! In addition, anything he said would have to be approved by the Mayo public relations department. They then decided leave the Mayo campus, and film in a public park across the street. In the meantime, the Mayo powers that be alerted the police that "there is a group of terrorists across the street who are casing the place in order to blow it up!" To this day she and that doctor from Mayo have remained friends and he acknowledged that she was the only known survivor of that rare form of cancer.

Here is an article I googled which was written by the woman mentioned above. http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_6818/is_1_23/ai_n31163082?tag=untagged

The movie website is http://www.thebeautifultruthmovie.com and if you have Netflix you can watch it online. It is a really good documentary. The main subject is the focus on Dr. Gerson's cancer therapies but it also backs up the importance of diet in our overall health and just how strong natural healing can be. Just search The Beautiful Truth and you can watch through the Netflix player. I am interested to learn more about Dr. Gerson's findings and research from others who have gone on to continue his legacy.
