More on Yes! Yes! Yes! We Are Winning!

“I believe the natural health community will achieve yet more significant victories in several important areas of public health.” Mike Adams
So don’t get tired of doing what is good. Don’t get discouraged and give up, for we will reap a harvest of blessing at the appropriate time. (Gal. 6:9; NLT)
In yesterday’s Daily Gram, Jerry wrote about the victories we’re having in the natural health arena. The link with Mike Adams article brings hope and encouragement. If you weren’t able to read the article for whatever reason, I decided to highlight some of the victories since they’re so noteworthy.
Trans Fats known as the “fat that kills” receives a great deal of negative press. Most everyone has heard from someone that these health destroying fats are not “good for the heart.” If you see “partially hydrogenated vegetable oil” in an ingredients list, avoid it…like the plague that it is.
Mike Adams writes that these dangerous fats “have absolutely no place in a healthy food supply. In time, they will probably be banned altogether.” Hooray!
High-Fructose Corn Syrup has been exposed for the evil sweetener that it truly is. People are finally realizing the dangers of this refined sweetener. Food manufacturers are now switching away from HFCS and using more natural refined ingredients such as evaporated cane juice.
BPA, known as the “plastics chemical” receives more bad press every day. I wrote about it recently being a hormone disruptor, meaning it interferes with the normal healthy functioning of the hormonal system of the body. (see my Early Puberty article and my Why Should I Care article.)
Mike writes, “The outcry against BPA has even gone mainstream now, with mainstream news organizations covering the issue with greater frequency. Momentum is clearly building in favor of legislation that would outlaw BPA in all plastic food containers.”
MSG, otherwise known as monosodium glutamate or the “taste that kills” is a man-made, destructive food enhancer. Mike says, “We’ve also been victorious in a very big way against MSG (monosodium glutamate), the chemical taste enhancer that’s used in sausage, beef jerky, salad dressings, gravy mixes, and all sorts of fast food. (It’s found in practically everything served at KFC, for example.)
“While we haven’t yet succeeded in banning MSG, we have raised awareness to such an extent that even soup companies are now competing with claims of having “No MSG” on their labels. As the public learns even more about MSG, we can expect to see more food companies removing it from their products.”
On a personal note, I can still remember the first time I unknowingly consumed MSG…and one of the worst headaches that followed. I’ve also witnessed my mother having seizures after she unknowingly consumed MSG.
Mike goes on to talk about several other arenas on the horizon in which more significant victories will occur in the future.
Aspartame he feels will be fully exposed and banned. (One of my personal crusades is to inform people of this harmful substance.)
Water fluoridation…Mike says to “expect to see an end to the criminal act of dripping a toxic, pharmacologically active chemical into the water supply without the consent of those who consume it.”
Mercury fillings, vaccines and GMO’s top off the list.
Wow. So for those of us walking in the path of natural health, let’s be encouraged. We’re making progress even though at times it seems as if we’re moving at a snail’s pace.

Father, thank You for encouraging our readers this day with hope and health.

“The natural health movement has gone mainstream! More and more mainstream consumers now understand the dangers of toxic chemicals and the promise of nutrition and natural remedies. Modern medicine as we know it today is on the way out, and the age of “better living through chemistry” is thankfully coming to an end.” Mike Adams
“There is no incurable disease.” Dr. Jordan Rubin
“Real cacao chocolate is a superfood that is full of powerful antioxidants that help neutralize free radicals and the effects of aging.” Ani Phyo
“If human beings could cultivate only one plant, hemp would be a smart choice.” Vera Tweed
“Coca-Cola isn’t really in the business of selling beverages, you see. It’s in the business of selling the illusion of happiness in a bottle or a can. Buy their products, say the advertisements, and you too can feel happiness (or freedom, or sexiness, or whatever).” Mike Adams
“There’s not only a better way — there’s a biblical way.” Chris McCoy
“If you really want to get rid of your stomach pains, gas, bloating, heartburn, cramps, constipation, or any other digestive problem, here’s what you have to do: Take all your antacids, acid controllers, and other prescription drugs and throw them in the trash!” Dr. Frank shallenberger, M.D.
