Something is happening to me

Yes, something strange is happening to me and I don't really know how to explain it. I was thinking about all the horrible things going on in Darfur right now, and how much crap is going on in the world today. I know that I really shouldn't dwell on the negative all the time, and I know that all I can do is make a little difference, but I know that if we all made a "little difference" then we'd make a big difference, especially if we stopped caring less about celebrities and more about our worldwide brothers and sisters who are in danger. Now, I really don't think society is so far gone that we just don't care about these things happening, I just feel like we don't know what we can do about them, and we have our own busy lives to worry about, our own families, our own sets of problems. Lately I have been likening this to the way we treat our bodies, and the responsibility we should take for our own health. I think that it's easy to chalk it up to everyone just not caring, but really, we do care, even if we don't realize it until we are sick. I think that the main problem is that we just don't know what we can do, we don't know how to change our habits, and we have been so indoctrinated by people who care more about the bottom line than they do our health, that we believe what we are told and have these total misconstrued ideas about health and nutrition.

So, like I was saying, I feel like something is happening to me, and I can't stop it. The more I try to deny or ignore the things I've been learning the more sensible and apparent they become. The more I learn the more I see around me, and the more I worry about those who wonder why they are sick, and just don't know enough about what they can do to heal themselves without taking truckloads of meds. Tonight I was reading a book, New Choices in Natural Healing, and it was talking about how heart disease is really a 20th century disease. It quoted Thomas Edison as saying "the doctor of the future will give no medicines but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet and in the cause of disease". Even Hippocrates said "let food be your medicine and medicine be your food". As I'm reading this book I'm getting this burning feeling in my chest, like my heart is so full and wanting to burst out of there! I know it was the Spirit talking to me and finally giving me answers to my prayers as to what I should do with my life. I want to educate people and help them. I want them to be able to see past what they think they know, and give them facts. I want to shout it from the rooftops, it's that important! And I know that the 1st step is making sure that I have my own life in order, so that I can be an example, and practice what I preach.

Ok, so enough about me and my blabbering for today. I'll try update soon! Ta-ta for now.
