365 Days of All-Raw Biogenic Living


The practice of Nature Cure and living the simple, natural lifestyle are truths that most people are not willing to adopt.    We are creatures of habit so it's hard for us to change.  We have our set patterns of behavior, and it's not easy to break free from them.  Sometimes this keeps us from hearing new or opposing thoughts and opinions.

I believe that Natural Hygiene will work in today's world even though some think it is idealistic.  Even most health-minded people are advocating supplementation and saying that our fruits and vegetables are lacking in necessary minerals due to depleted soils.  But the truth is that Natural Hygiene and Nature Cure will work today just like they always have.

Change requires a change in our thinking and lifestyle or it's not really change at all.  Change is not something we do gradually.  It happens instantly. There is not a gap between thinking about changing and changing.  Thinking about change and not taking action is just procrastination.  I have done my share of that to be sure.  Change takes place in the present moment...not in the past or future.

I have started a new practice called 365 Days of All-Raw Biogenic Living. It's a program I have put together for myself.  It mimics the lifestyle practiced at The Clohesy River Health Farm, but modified for my place in the world.

The  inspiration for this 365 Days All-Raw Biogenic Living program was a picture taken of myself shortly after I returned from five months in Australia at the Clohesy River Health Farm.  To look and feel like that I need to practice the lifestyle completely. My home must be my spa!

The biogenic lifestyle is simply living in harmony with the laws of nature and nature's God as much as we understand them.  It's trusting God and his laws and then trusting the process as the body cleanses.  The daily routines and practices are a refuge from the craziness all around us.

Angus Holiday is posting some really good stuff on the Nature Cure page on Facebook.  (I highly recommend the writings of Kevin Hinton and Angus Holiday on this page.) Angus Holiday was also part of my inspiration to practice more perfectly.  Because of a post he wrote, I am including in my practice once again the sunbath when the temperature is over 65 degrees, the siesta after lunch, the hot tub, and sleeping with the open window when the temperature is between 40-80 degrees.  Other parts of the practice include running, yoga, and playing the flute.

If there is anyone near to me that practices Nature Cure I would love to know who and where you are.  I have good friends I love to be with, but there is no one nearby that practices Nature Cure as far as I know.    I am thankful for my mentor, Dr. John Fielder, who is an example of how the lifestyle works when practiced in near perfection for fifty years, but he is on the other side of the world!

I talked to a friend, a massage therapist,  at flute ensemble rehearsal about my eye twitch.She thinks she can help...or can tell me right away if she can not....so tomorrow I'll try to set up an appointment with her.

To health and happiness.

Happy in the Garden

Yesterday I worked in the garden instead of walking around the neighborhood.  It is a different feeling. It's true that I only got in about 6500 steps by the end of the day instead of over 10,000, but it was a different feeling.  Travis planted some tomatoes and peppers, I cleaned the lower deck and pulled some weeds.  Lucy dug in the dirt and felt so happy.  I felt the same way. Working in the garden makes you feel happy and productive. I was puzzled by a plant growing in the herb garden as a weed.  I started pulling them out but decided to check if they are edible.  Edible weeds, such as dandelion,  can be used in our smoothies.  I put a picture on Facebook to ask for help identifying the weed, and the consensus is that it is plantain.  Some say edible and some say not, but I am inclined to think that it is edible.  My brother, Max, lives up in the mountains, and his neighbor says it is edible and the smallest leaves are best with...

The Lou Corona Story

Yesterday, we went to Magic Springs with our daughter, son-in-law and three grandchildren.  The landscaping there is beautiful this year.  This one little flower didn't let a little concrete stop it.     Lunch today was three bananas which I ate about 1:30.  I'm letting my body rest a little bit after eating too much food the last couple of days.  I did domestic chores today.  But Travis made a trip to the City Compost Facility for another load of compost.  We'll use it on the trees we still have left to plant. We have a volunteer tomato plant coming up in one of the garden beds.  It's doing pretty well, too.  I have it on my to do list to buy some more tomato cages. The arugula I planted is up. The kale Travis planted is up. The new plum tree is planted. Here is a volunteer Poke Salat that came with the blueberry plant.  Travis planted some more blueberries in the blueberry row that lines our driveway. The...

Dr. John Fielder's Visit

My Natural Hygiene teacher and mentor, Dr. John Fielder, included us again on his Worldwide Raw Food Lecture Tour.  He arrived at my house on Monday, May 14.  Tuesday we had a raw foods dinner at the house for a few of the people that helped to organize the events here in Arkansas.   Wednesday, the Hot Springs Village Raw Foods Group met at Gulpha Gorge Picnic Area for a picnic with Dr. Fielder.  Wednesday night he made a presentation here in Hot Springs Village about the Principles of Natural Living.  The following night he spoke at Mt. Pleasant United Methodist Church in Little Rock.  There was a good crowd at both events.  Dr. John Fielder Here I am introducing Dr. Fielder at the HSV lecture. At the lecture we served some raw food treats for our guests to sample.  One of the items was a chocolate granola bar.  I cut the squares much smaller for this event because of the number of people we had to serve. Chocolate Granola Bars...
