Why Herbs?

A friend recently asked why we have lost the way of using herbs that our ancestors did, and have "progressed" to drugs instead. Here is my answer to her:

The reason is that herbs cannot be patented, and so drug companies can't make gazillions of dollars off them like they can chemicals. Often they will isolate the most (obviously)active component of an herb and learn how to make it synthetically, and then market that synthetic version as a drug. God made things to have many components that work together for our good. The intricate relationship of the different parts of the herb are beyond our comprehension. Taking a synthetic replacement for the real thing (herb) is like eating stripped down white flour versus whole grain flour. It's just not as good for you, and will have harmful effects over the long haul as well.

So... *climbing down off my soapbox* I say, if it worked for them, it's good for us!

Fermented Cod Liver Oil

I've wanted to try fermented cod liver oil for a long time. It has many, many benefits. Just taking regular cod liver oil has helped me tremendously. I have a brighter outlook, feel more energetic, and feel less inflammation in my body as a result of taking this super valuable supplement. Not if, but when I buy FCLO it will be from Green Pastures because they are the best company I know of for this particular product.
