My Other Obsession...

I confess I am obsessed with healthy living lately. Almost all my posts deal with it and are on my other blog. But, though I am not going to reprint them here, they are indeed part of a quest for truth. Anyone living today can feel the affects of the foods we ingest if they stop and listen to their bodies. Those tissues and organs are telling us something - whether it is "all's well" through silence or "I don't feel so good" through more active responses. Mine's been yelling at me for years and became so hoarse from the strain that I didn't even notice it was saying anything at all until Stephanie joined my life.

She could not believe my body was normal. I had a huge appetite and little on my body. I reacted adversely to many foods and didn't feel well on most days. She encouraged me to seek help and I did. I went to doctors and had blood tests and other "sample" tests done that I just remember as something to not revisit. They told me that I was hypoglycemic and had multiple food allergies. Treatment for the first involved eating less sugar and more complex carbs. Treatment for the second was to avoid foods.

I finally developed taste buds for real food after I became an adult and having those new found flavors taken away was a bit of a tragedy for me. It didn't seem right that anyone should be denied the right to eat food on any level. So we tried  finding doctors and alternative medicines to treat my problems. Each step got me a little healthier and a little more stable. As we started becoming more organic with our diets I found many of my allergies were slipping away.

This latest move to soaked-grains and unaltered foods like raw milk has been changing the whole family. There is a powerful truth behind eating correctly. My hypoglycemia is all but gone now and my appetite is decreasing. We've found that most of my allergies are related to inorganic farming methods or food processing. Each step is one closer to full health.

I know people get upset at hearing about healthy living and such, but I know there is deep truth behind it. God wants us to feel healthy - He gave us a Law of Health (D&C 89) to help us get there. I am excited to finally be heading that direction.
