GENERAL CONTENT INFORMATION There is so much information out there. How can I tell what to believe when it comes to making the right food choices? Trust your intuition; it's your gut-level on-board guidance system that assists you in making choices that feel right for you. Everyone has the ability to tap into this intuition by listening to that inner voice. When presented with information, learn to rely on yourself and listen to what your instinct tells you. Every day we are bombarded with hundreds of seemingly logical reasons why we should buy certain products. Over time, the truth becomes distorted. We consume many things that are simply not good for us and begin to make decisions that are not based in fact. Seeking outside authority can often influence your judgment, and erode your instinctive knowing of what's good and what isn't. Garden of Healing® can help you return to that place inside where you'll find this instinctive knowing. Look inside yourself to know what's right for you. ‘Natural Health’ and ‘Natural Healing’ are broad terms that are difficult to grasp. Can you explain simply what these are? Most of us believe that our health is something we have little control over and when we get sick we seek the help of a medical doctor. This is the automatic response of most people in the industrialized world. However, 85% of the world has been using natural care and natural therapies for over 5000 years. Just as exercise can strengthen and tone muscles, natural products and therapies can strengthen, balance and tone internal organs and tissues, allowing your body to heal on its own. A natural therapist takes what is already there - you, and strengthens it. An acupuncturist gets the chi energy flowing through any "road blocks" inside your body helping you get back on track and feeling well again. A chiropractor corrects structural imbalances so that your body can function the way it should - effortlessly. Chiropractic treatments remove "interference" so that the natural life-force energy can flow unimpeded up through your spinal column and throughout your body. Herbal teas can detoxify blood and strengthen individual organs and glands to get them working at top efficiency. Homeopathic remedies stimulate your immune system to create antibodies and fight infection. Natural products and therapies free your body to release what's already inside - and in this way healing can happen naturally. In contrast, pharmaceuticals come from outside the body and are therefore foreign substances, especially by virtue of their isolated nature. 
Garden of Healing® puts great emphasis on healthy eating habits. How important is this and why? Good question. Healthy eating habits mean everything and instilling them in children early is vitally important. Discipline is half the battle; the other half is the quality of the food you put into your body. Wellness is achieved by moderation, routine and careful actions in your daily living, and this is why naturopathic and holistic medicine and nutrition emphasize behavior modification. Wellness is achieved by eliminating wild swings and the exaggerated use of foods and other substances whatever they might be. We all need to "right" our daily living and this means - some work, some rest and some play - all in healthy balance. The solution is simply to discipline yourself in everyday living and in food choices. Eating quality whole foods allows your body to do what it does best - heal itself.  Does Garden of Healing® believe that illnesses can be treated or cured with simple good quality foods? No. To believe that food alone can heal all ills would be a very irresponsible viewpoint to adopt. Garden of Healing® believes that the right food promotes well-being, but it does not replace the need for professional health care when necessary. What can I start doing today to improve the quality of my life? First believe in your own ability to improve it. In terms of health, you have the power to improve it because you were born with the innate ability to heal. Your body heals itself on its own. First believe in this power and then do all the right things. To improve the overall quality of your life, - employ focus.
The more You say a thing..., the more You make it real.
Garden of Healing® SPfGS We are often given the message that miracle cures and quick fixes are just around the corner. Yet, being in control of your own behavior and doing all the rights things are your greatest allies. Your body is the expert healer; it instinctively knows what to do. Know this from the core of your being. This power does not cost anything, you do not have to do anything to get it, and it is always there. You are the source of your own healing - healing is found inside. Learn not to hamper it. Instead, nourish it. I know that Garden of Healing® focuses on food for healing and maintaining good health, and believes strongly in natural therapies, but what about Integrative Medicine? While our primary focus is on food, we also want you to know how effective and safe natural therapies can be. A world in balance means an integration of the best of all medical practices. Instead of different schools of thought at odds with each other, it is a sign of the times and of our evolution that we finally understand the true value of merging many approaches. Garden of Healing® is not about Integrative Medicine per se. We would prefer to hold the standard of simpler times and promote the behaviors and foods that we have always been able to count on throughout history. While marketers love to sell you on the next best thing, you already know instinctively what works best for you. The most effective and successful approach to good health is still balance, moderation in all things, quality, thoughtfulness, and love for ourselves and our daily lives.  What are processed foods and why are we advised to eat whole, organic and minimally processed foods? Doesn't our government make sure that manufacturers produce healthy food? Unfortunately it comes down to profits, competition and the expensive business of developing brand loyalty to steer your everyday choices to buy certain goods. It takes little imagination to conclude that huge companies use their great wealth to harness the power of government to legislate in their favor. A great share of the responsibility lies with us, the consumer, but we seem to be too busy to pay much attention. Food costs money and food is the most essential element central to your life. To attract you to buy products based on low prices, manufacturers cut corners and many ingredients are very poor quality. Additives are used to enhance the appearance and the taste of food, but at great cost to your health. These additives include the many forms of sugar like high-fructose corn syrup and especially aspartame, and they are actually very harmful. Simply put, white flour, sugar and processed foods are stripped of nutrients and are dead, while whole and organic foods are alive, healing, and life giving. For example, organic foods contain higher levels of Vitamin C, iron, magnesium and phosphorous. Whole foods carry a nutrient-rich, light-based energy that your body needs to function, heal and re-generate itself. How could you possibly expect to feel good and think straight if you eat pastries all day? Eating processed food is like putting vinegar in your gas tank.
