Using natural
products for
healthcare
Are you aware that in the
U.S.A. more than 16,000 people
die annually from adverse drug
reactions? These are deaths due to
legal drugs, legally obtained by
prescriptions and used with good
medical intentions. Thomas Edison
once said, “If all the medication in
the world were thrown in the ocean
it would be a good day for man, but
a bad day for the fish.” Conditions
such as heart disease, cancer,
diabetes, etc. are so prevalent in
this country, have you considered
preventive natural healthcare?
Herbs used for medical treatment
and plants used for food have two
kinds of qualities: first, the quality
that is associated with their life
force; and second, their chemical
constituents and vitamin and
enzyme content. When a plant or
animal dies, the life force departs
from it and it deteriorates according
to the laws of physical chemistry.
It is next invaded by bacteria which
eventually decompose it.
When used as medicinal
substances, herbs have two types of
action: the “life” one and the
chemical one. They are therefore
better than tablets for which the
active principle has been chemically
extracted. This isolation is the
reason why drugs often have a toxic
effect. When a drug exists in a
plant, it is only one of the many
substances with a similar action and
the plant often has other substances
which balance the action of any one
substance and therefore prevent the
bad effects. These toxic effects of
the drug are the result of breaking
the Greek idea of “nothing too
much."
Look into herbs for preventive
healthcare. Eli Lily, a major drug
manufacturer says. "A drug without
side effects is no drug at all."
What a shame.

"Georgia National Scam Team,"
were called together to construct
the banners.
Arledge stated that the volunteers
did a wonderful job creating the
colorful banners that will set the
mood for celebration in Heritage
Hall . . . celebrating Georgia's
youth and the Georgia National's
fifth anniversary.
"Exhibits in Heritage Hall will
be exceptional this year with the
expansion of the beekeeper's ex
hibit, a new Georgia Centennial
Farm exhibit, and enhanced
Christmas Tree Growers' exhibits
and events. Be sure to put
Heritage Hall on your must-see
