Day 59 - The Laws of Life

I have toyed with the idea of trying some alternative healing methods regarding the facial spasms, even as late as last night.  But this morning I woke with a new resolve to trust the process of the natural lifestyle as being enough.  Anything more than enough is too much!  I just want to do my simple, natural lifestyle without any alternatives.

Last night we had dinner with two other sweet couples at Park Island Market and Cafe...one of my favorite places!  They offer local, organic food in a friendly atmosphere.  I had the salad with greens and fruit.  So good.  Here is a link to their Facebook page..

I am studying about The Laws of Life in my Lifestyle Consultant's Course in Natural Living....

The principles and practices of Natural Hygiene harmonize with the laws of Nature.  The things that preserve our health are the same things that restore our health when we have lost it.

Natural Hygiene rejects the use of all poisons.  If something is not conducive to life in a healthy person or if it destroys living tissue, it is a poison. The only remedies we use are ones that support the living organism. If they are unable to maintain health, they are unable to restore health.

Natural Hygiene is not a treatment plan, it is a lifestyle.  It's purpose is not to "cure" disease but to build health.  Some people think Natural Hygiene is okay for a healthy person, but surely a sick person would need something different.  The fact is, though, that this way of living removes the causes of disease.  Sick people don't need anything more than what healthy people need.

Everyone knows that poisonous drugs are bad for healthy people, so isn't it logical that they are not good for sick people either?  Everything that is beneficial for us will also be beneficial for us when we are healthy.  It should have a positive effect on our health.

The questions we should ask when we are considering any remedy include:
1.  Is this necessary for my life or is it something I will only use when I am sick?
2. Do I need this when I am healthy as well as when I am sick?
3. Does it affect me in a positive way when I am healthy?
4. Should I use this regularly when I am healthy?

If my healthy body rejects the remedy, it is a poison.  The body can not use drugs.  They don't nourish the tissues in any way.  They are not invigorating, so they have to be expelled.  They are anti-biotic and in opposition to life.

The truths of Natural Hygiene are self-evident:
1.  Action is of the living organism.
2.  Disease is a remedial effort.
3.  Medicine does not act on the body, but the body acts on the medicine.
4.  Disease and the healing power of Nature are identical.
5.  Nature has not provided remedies and there is no law of cure.

Natural Hygiene does not use drugs in caring for the sick.  Living the simple, natural lifestyle is safe and sufficient.  It is all the remedy we need.  It is enough.



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.
