I was having a really good day...

Then I decided to get on Facebook. I realized that I have been un-friended. (yeah, I'm aware that un-friended isn't a word.)

I know why... and I am so sad. I keep writing stuff and deleting it because I don't even know what to say. I just want people to know, man. I just want them to make educated decisions... especially for their children who don't have a say.

How can you know that almost a million people die every year from iatrogenic deaths, and still put your faith into a system that OBVIOUSLY isn't working?!? (wait, it's working to keep taking your hard earned money that would be way better spent of the right foods to PREVENT disease)

How can you know that pharmaceuticals, TAKEN AS PRESCRIBED, kill hundreds of thousands of people a year and still give them to your children as a first option?

How can you know that there are cases of fibromyalgia, lupis, ms, asthma, autism, digestive disease/ disorders, mental disorders, ETC, ETC that are discovered everyday that are not any of those diseases at all... just food allergies, and not have yourself and your children tested? (Healthwaves in AZ) (example: Lupis diagnosed by allopathic doctor when a naturopath found that the only disorder is a serious allergy to gluten. Once she removed gluten 100% from her diet, she became symptom free. There was never lupis.)

How can you not want to know what you are eating and feeding your children? How can you feed them things that are not really food that are hurting them?

Once again... I love my parents. I would not take a single day back or change a thing because I wouldn't be where I am now. But to get here, I had to get really sick. And that could have been prevented. I don't blame them... they didn't know. That's why I'm telling you...

Please... take care of your children. Don't set them up for disease by feeding them not-foods and filling them full of toxic, immune suppressing pharmaceuticals.

I'm not selling anything other than the idea that we should all empower ourselves with knowledge. I'm not even telling you to believe in what I believe in. You owe it to yourself and your loved ones to be educated about your own health.

* on a personal note, there is a great possibility that we are going to be going gluten free. I don't have an allergy, but Johnnie has a slight one. He has severe asthma, and we have an appt with a naturopath that I saw lecture on asthma and weening people off of asthma meds. Johnnie has agreed at this point to do what the doctor says. My first guess is that we are going to have to finish cutting out sugar and all gluten. When this happens, we will blog about the process. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing what changes take place, but I am pretty nervous. I'm not much different than those of you who think that changing is too big and difficult. It is hard... it is difficult... but it is also 100% necessary to get and stay healthy. So... wish us luck!
