Alternative Health Care Medicine

Alternative health care medicine is about foods that heal the body of sickness. Healing foods work to build up the bodies immune system without detrimental side effects that pharmaceuticals can do.

You might be thinking, “How can food be better than medicine”? Well, I can think of five extremely healthy foods right off the top of my head that work better for healing than any medicine ever could. Let’s take a look.

Alternative Health Care Medicine: Chlorophyll Foods

What are chlorophyll foods and how can they work better than medicine? Pharmaceuticals treat the symptoms but do not actually heal the body back to health like energizing healing foods can.

All green plants contain some amounts of chlorophyll, but the foods with the most chlorophyll are:

  • collard greens
  • swiss chard
  • kale
  • mustard greens
  • spinach
  • broccoli
  • green cabbage
  • leeks
  • green olives
  • asparagus
  • green bell peppers
  • green peas
  • brussel sprouts
  • green beans
Load up on these veggies.

It has been proven that damage done to the genes from cancer can be repaired with chlorophyll foods. Drinking lots of wheat grass juice has cured cancer in people! See source below.

If you do not have cancer but just want to do general maintenance and prevent cancer then juicing greens every other day is a good idea. Of course, we have to take care of our body as a whole by making sure we are healthy mentally and spiritually as well.

Alternative Health Care Medicine: Cruciferous Vegetables

What’s all the fuss about cabbage type foods? Well, they are loaded with antioxidants, that when eaten on a regular basis, have been known to prevent cancer, especially colon cancer. If we prevent disease and cancer through food then we won’t need any medicine in the first place.

Many of the cruciferous vegetables are also packed with life-giving chlorophyll. That means you’ll get a double dosage of medicine food when you eat from the cabbage family.

The cabbage family foods consist of:

  • green or purple cabbage
  • bok choy
  • broccoli
  • kale
  • turnips
  • brussel sprouts
  • cauliflower
  • other vegetables
Eat these vegetables as much as you like. And remember if you cook your vegetables always only lightly steam them. When the vegetable turns from dark green to gray green from cooking that means there is no vitamins or chlorophyll left in them.

Alternative Health Care Medicine: Garlic

Garlic fights infection and prevents infection. In fact, the world of natural medicine, has touted garlic as being the miracle herb or vegetable.

And for good reason. Garlic when eaten and or juiced raw, on a consistent basis, will definitely keep the doctor away.

We can eat as much garlic as we want and never ever build a resistance to it, like we do ordinary pharmaceutical antibiotics. That’s because garlic is an all-natural alternative medicine food that feeds our body and keeps us well.

Don’t be intimidated to juice several cloves of garlic with your apples and carrots in the morning. Feed yourself life-giving medicine.

Alternative Health Care Medicine: Colorful Foods

Studies have shown that eating a wide variety of whole foods will guarantee you are getting your trace mineral requirements better than if you take vitamin pills. This common sense “way of eating” works along the same lines as eating a variety of colorful fruits and vegetables.

For instance, in a one-week period, we should eat ten to twenty different kinds of fruits and vegetables and other foods, rather than just four or five of the same kind.

Instead of eating just apples, bananas, oranges, and carrots, peas, and broccoli, eat those, but also eat about ten different other fruits and vegetables too. Add cabbage and brussel sprouts to your diet, as well as turnip greens and kale.

Then add some grapes, raisins, pineapple, kiwi, and melon to your list of fruits. Eating a wide variety of foods ensures you are getting your trace mineral requirements.
