Twenty years ago, we feared that we would simply blow ourselves and our planet to smithereens with nuclear weapons. However, although that threat still remains, there is a greater force at work right now, it is called Global Warming!

It has crept up slowly and all of a sudden, we are starting to notice the effects of Global Warming, not only in the form of increasing storm systems and major flooding disasters, but we are feeling it in our Bodies!

With the constant threat of danger, we continue to chip away at the Earth's ecosystem. Trees are cut down by the millions every day! Natural lakes are drying up and entire species of animals are becoming extinct! There are even so many other species that we may never discover.

The Earth is a wonderful organism that sustains life, and in return, it nurtures and takes care of itself. The Earth is in perpetual motion! Every single living creature plays it's part in the purification of the Earth's soil, air and water.

For example: An Elephant eating a simple Banana leaf; In that leaf are organisms that help the Elephant's digestive system. Once all the nutrients find their way into the Elephant's body, the waste is passed and becomes manure. At this point, certain organisms and insects quickly move in to play their part, there is no waste matter. Everything is an integral piece in the Earth's composition! If one removes just one of these vital processes, then the whole food chain is in serious trouble! As is the Planet!

We have been tampering with our soil for decades. We have added chemicals in order to accelerate the growth of commercial food products. We can produce a Tomato or an Apple that can withstand a journey around the world without rotting. Not only is there a loss of natural taste, but in the long run, the chemicals needed to enhance this food process, will enter our bodies and seriously effect our health!

Natural vitamins and oils, necessary in replacing and revitalizing the cells in our bodies are being replaced by unnatural, chemically altered supplements!

Instead of reversing and returning to a more natural and more stabilized form of healthy living, and maybe it is too late?..Instead, we are producing artificial medicines and vitamins that bridge us from the diseases caused by the artificial food additives. This alchemy may be a 'quick fix' for us in the interim?

Meanwhile, money speaks louder and the Pharmaceutical industry is just another Multi Billion Dollar Business just like the oil industry! So long that there is a Band aid, then everything will be okay!

People are suffering more an more with allergies. Asthma has increased dramatically! Air quality is terrible and we are slowly beating our immune systems into the ground! We are eating the wrong foods, we are taking short cuts by not recycling properly, and we are buying into a culture that relies on short term, visual and mental stimulation!

Cancer, Heart and Liver Diseases, to name a few, could all be avoided if we were only to listen and take note. If we were all to read up on the contents of our foods...Find out what all those long words mean on the back of your instant food packets..Excessive sugar and starch consumption...Processed foods...Buy organically grown produce...Find out if you have food allergies..This could all be the start to a healthier living.

Our bodies have evolved for millions of years. Animal and plant life, have sustained the human race since before time began! In this very short 'blink of an eye' of industrial and technological advancement, we have destroyed the links that we need in order to survive! Unfortunately, we Will be taking the rest of the planet down with us!
