Remember this song?. . ."thigh bone connected to the shin
bone. . .shin bone connected to the ankle bone. . ." it
makes me chuckle. I can't remember the context for this
childhood song (maybe you readers can fill me in!) but it
was a good learning tool about how our body is
"mechanically" connected.
There is also a connectedness in our body that is not
"mechanical". There is interconnectedness between body parts
that doesn't make any sense in the "mechanical" model, but
it does in the "holistic" model. This is a big part of the
difference in conventional medicine and holistic medicine.
This holistic interconnectedness has its basis in the
Eastern model. For example, acupuncture operates on this
theory of interconnectedness - that is why a needle in the
toe might help the pain in the neck.
In Chinese medicine and in the eastern healing arts - the
eyes are connected to the liver. I learned about this years
ago in my macrobiotic cooking classes. When we eat liver
supportive foods we can help our eyesight.
My acupuncturist Wayne and I were talking last week about
the tremendous health benefits of the
Ningxia Red juice. I told him that I increased the
amount I was drinking from the recommended one ounce a day
to 4 - 6 ounces. I did this because I heard Marcella Von
Harding from Young Living recommend that with the higher
dose we can really see the miracles. I noticed an
improvement in my vision within one week. I also commented
to Wayne that people expect this juice to be real sweet like
other juices on the market.
It's not, because it doesn't have the junk juices in it like
the high sugar/low cost apple, grape, and pear juices. It
has wolfberry (also called goji or Lycium barbarum),
pomegranate, apricot nectar, blueberry, and some of the
citrus essential oils - and it makes you "pucker" a bit when
you drink it. Wayne said that that "pucker" is good for the
liver - that it helps to stimulate the liver. There are so
many benefits to this juice.
