Hi Pen;

Yes, there really are a few places which strive only for cures. Will wonders never cease? You are right about them being a rarity though. Close minded, inside the box thinkers who play it safe ........ we need to cut their numbers in my opinion. Keep enough for those who prefer that type of treatment and so fórth. Beyond that? Hah!

It does sound like Europe has succumbed to the scourge of pills. A reputation for releasing medicines prematurely ............. but no vitamins? They would have one tough time getting rid of the supplement industry here. But that's what keeps us well. Cures from it in the fixer department aren't really the forte there, so maybe that's your reason. They wanted to get rid of the wellness goods so that more people wíll need cures? I really don't know, and that sounds awfúlly conspíracy theorish. But you'll have to forgive me, because I wouldn't doubt it.

Did you know that our foods are so low in nutrition these days, that the natural goods off Grandpa's farm are so rich they wíll make you deathly ill? It's an allergic reaction, very similar to a severe case of food poisoning. I'm hoping that our trend towards natural supplements and wholesome foods wíll ring alarm bells. Otherwise we wíll see that future where all our bodies wíll tolerate is pills .......... pills custom made for absorption by the body ............ to replace ..... food. What a freaking nightmare. But that is where we were headed. I'm praying that course has changed. How many people know that what we call Whole (vitamin D) Milk is actually Skim Milk? How I would love a gallon of Guernsey Milk, fresh off the cow ...........

So now do you know why most of them have a problem? They never had a farm where they got their food vine ripened. They really don't realize what our bodies are screaming for. Have you ever tried telling one about this? I must confess that is an option which only occurred to me just now. Maybe we should educate our city slicker doctors. Bring them some veggies and milk. They certainly couldn't deny the difference, could they? Who knows? You might actually start something.
