Greetings revolutionaries!
I thought you might need some cheering up after my last blog, so I got you a present! Yes, in the spirit of the season, from my heart to yours, I present to you, The Healing Foods Reference Database.
It is an amazing website that I have already experienced a lot of success with. You simply click on an ailment, and you will be presented with foods, herbs, supplements, and nutrients that will be beneficial in healing you. I tried it for my eczema, which I develop every winter. It was so itchy I was considering going to the doctor, but I have simply been eating oily fish, grapes, and raspberries, as suggested by the database, and it hasn’t been bothering me at all.
“Let thy food be thy medicine, and thy medicine be thy food.” -Hippocrates, 400 B.C.
Hippocrates’ words have been really inspiring me this week. I hope they give you some inspiration, as well!
naturally yours,
the food patriot

Comment by Sharon Day December 4, 2009 @ 3:09 pmIt’s truly amazing! Food as medicine, duh. Thanks for sharing the resource.
Comment by Yiska Obadia December 8, 2009 @ 5:06 pmGreat resource! I always think it’s so humbling to experience the powerful effects of food. Actually I find it revealing of the degree to which I am in tuned with my body, as well as the level of integrity I hold… as in, are my actions standing behind my own words or ideas (such as giving care to the self through food)? Or is there a discrepancy? Admittedly there is often a discrepancy, but recognizing it and striving to close the gap is, I think, far more important than maintaining the pretense of being “perfect.”
