A trend I'm noticing these days with the masses of the people is their request for a natural remedy for the result of their UNNATURAL thinking, modes and ways of living (behavior, actions), and eating (diet) - which is DIS-EASE.
 Why take something natural to combat the results from the unnatural? It would be much easier to just stop doing the unnatural thing as your remedy, but no, people want their cake and eat it too. They want to worship and serve two masters even though they have been told or read where No man can serve two masters. Bible, Matthew 6:24
Yes, people want to take the red pill and the blue pill but clearly in the first Matrix film, Neo had a choice of taking either the blue pill or the red pill. He couldn't take both pills. He could only take just ONE!
However, the overwhelming majority of the people want to partake of the spiritual world and the material world simultaneously and you can't have both. What about balance Djehuty? That's just an excuse for most people to pursue both realities at the same time, but reality and honesty clearly shows that most people pursue the material values and pursuits of the world over and beyond the spiritual values and pursuits of the world or existence. They claim they want both evenly, but if you study them, they spend far more energy, time and effort pursuing the material values of life which causes alienation of the spirit or soul and disconnects one from God and ultimately leads to disease on all levels of existence - physically, mentally, emotionally, psychologically, and spiritual.
So many folks talk about balance but their reality is imbalance because they are neglecting one realm of existence (spiritual, the most important one) for another realm of existence (material) which leads to imbalance or a state of Dis-Ease (not at ease).
But Americans are so faddish, they love fads and trends and health, holistic health, has become a fad and trend for many individuals. So it's the in thing or cool thing now to take natural remedies in place of pharmaceutical drugs for most of our common diseases, maladies, and ailments.
But it's a trip to me because why take a natural remedy in place of a chemical drug or pharmaceutical medicine when the so-called foods and beverages you're drinking on a daily basis is saturated and heavily laced with chemical drugs?
With this present state of twisted thinking displayed in people in general, Americans in particular, natural remedies (mainly herbal remedies) are taking the place of chemical drugs and in all due honesty I don't like it one bit. I truly understand the words and sentiments of Brother Phil Valentine more so now than ever when he said herbs are becoming drugs because of how we are using them. He's right in his statement that we are placing herbs in capsules and taking them the same way as we take drugs thereby making the herbs drugs. Instead of not doing a thing or cutting a thing out completely, we'd rather do the thing and develop a problem (disease) and take something to combat the problem.
Folks, you cannot get health out of a bottle! Bold words from a man who produces and sells herbs in capsule form! Yes in deed, because my mission and objective is not to make money or to become a major player or figure in the so-called world of holistic or alternative health. I genuinely and truly understand people and know how programmed and lazy the majority of the people are. I know and will tell you that food is your best medicine and that food should be eaten raw and fresh (including meat for those of you who devour animal flesh in your delusional state), especially if you desire optimal health. But because of our acclimation to modern society which is predicated upon convenience and instantaneousness whereby most of us don't have time to do the very basic function that all other animals do - eat food raw and fresh, and in addition to being outright indolent, we process and adulterate our foods by dehydrating and pulverizing them, cooking them, destabilizing them at a molecular level by extracting their major constituent (alkaloid), etc.
Yes, people are too lazy to prepare their own meals today and Corporate America (fast food industry) knows it. That's why there's a McDonalds and a Burger King on every other corner in America, especially in minority neighborhoods or urban areas.
People don't have time to do such a basic and natural thing which is a damn shame! They are too busy pursuing their illusions of the material world, or making a so-called living which in reality is making a dying because people are killing themselves today under the guise of living, foolishly neglecting their health and nutritional needs, giving their precious Temples of God (body) JUNK for energy so they can perform a job or task for some soulless entity called a company, business, or corporation. Yes, you get a paycheck every two weeks or every month, but look at what happens to you by the time you finally retire or get fired after giving some company or corporation 20-30 years of your life. Your health is corroded and greatly compromised. You won't be able to enjoy your retirement pension funds (money) by enjoying life. It will help to pay for medical and hospital costs.
People are seriously mentally and psychologically sick and don't even know it. Americans live so dangerously that insurance is second nature to them. Insurance is a part of life. It gives them the illusion of being taken care of in case an accident or emergency occurs. The term or word insurance carries the vibration of possibility, doubt, and future problem and need and greatly disconnects one from the blessings and protections of the Universe, the All Provider and Sustainer.
When you sign up for insurance, you are unconsciously telling the insurance carrier or provider that you are an incompetent, an irresponsible person, and a liability. Medical insurance means that you are so sure that you are going to get sick in the future (because of your degenerate lifestyle and eating habits) that you are willing to pay them in advance. This is the statement made (and NO, don't run out and cancel your insurance because you need it because you probably have a mentality that causes certain things to happen to you that medical insurance helps you out with).
Yes, most medical insurance company provides medical care under allopathic medicine which is the most unnatural health modality on the planet, but after all, Americans also have the most unnatural way of life and diet on the planet too, so allopathic medicine is very befitting and complimentary for Americans.
Now back to the gist of this article.
People want to go out and foolishly get drunk, but when they wake up the next morning with a hangover and a headache out of this world, they want a natural remedy for the headache and hangover because they don't want to take aspirin anymore because aspirin is a drug and dangerous (thins the blood and burns a hole in your stomach). But is not the alcohol a drug and dangerous too? Of course it is, but people are crazy today. People like hurting themselves under the banner of having a good time. If it's sociably acceptable to do a thing, Americans will do it no matter how insane or insalubrious it may be. Americans can't live without being accepted.
People smoke cigarettes for 20-30 years and ultimately develop cancer and then call me and tell me they don't want to do chemotherapy and/or radiation but that they want to take something natural to fight the cancer. The cancer is nothing but the effect of the cause (smoking). How can a person be conscious of the harm of chemotherapy and radiation but not conscious of the harm from smoking and all the poisonous ingredients that go into cigarettes? You see, this is insanity! Chemotherapy contains the same thing as cigarettes POISONS!
I always tell people the universal health maxim or adage prevention is better than remedy.
Disease is not something horrible coming from God. Disease is the result of our disconnection from God. Plain and simple! God does not punish. People punish themselves. It all boils down to the law of cause and effect.
You love eating meat. You're proud of it. But when you develop cancer, now you're humble. Now you'll give up meat in a desperate attempt to save your life. Why do a thing as remedy and not prevention? Damn, people, it's so easy and makes so much sense to do the right, beneficial, and natural thing. People are just hardheaded, arrogant, and rebellious. This society (Matrix) has really spoiled people.
Yes, people are happy while drinking alcohol, eating meat, smoking cigarettes, doing drugs, having unprotected sex with a non-potential mate (husband or wife), etc., but when their behinds are told by a doctor that they have cancer or AIDS or some other life-threatening illness or disease, they are no longer happy. They are sad, worried, and depressed. Now they want to do the right or natural thing. Now they avoid or abstain from their opiate or worldly joy.
There are women out there who will go out and have sex and get pregnant (not wanting to be a mother, of course) and have the gall to ask is there something natural I can take to abort the pregnancy? While I do know of a so-called natural way (it doesn't even sound right - natural abortion) to cause an abortion, I'll never expose it to anybody. If you bow down to the world and engage in the act of sexual pleasure under the wrong circumstances, then you suffer the consequences of the pain and distress of the remedy the world offers you - abortion. Don't come to me looking for help to ease your pain from the results of your worldly actions predicated upon an unwise and/or unconscious choice you made.
Then there are people who ask me, Djehuty, what you got to stop smoking? Like I'm the miracle man or something! I don't have a damn thing to stop you from smoking! Well, don't you have an herb or herbal formula that I can take to stop smoking? No I don't! There's no single herb or formula that can make you stop smoking or anything else. They can assist you in stop smoking, but they cannot directly effectuate you in not smoking anymore. It doesn't work like that people. There is no cure outside of your selves, people. There is no cure absent your will to be cured! No other person can cure or heal you from anything. While others can help or assist you, only God and the human body can heal (or cure).
And Id be remiss if I didn't mention the people out there who are attempting to turn our FBD (Full Body Detox) into a fad. Yes, they'll purposely go out and eat bad and do all sorts of unhealthy things and then purchase and do a detox to undo all the bad and unhealthy things they engaged in. Why not just live and eat right day in and out? Do you perceive righteous and natural living as that strict, boring, and rigid? Djehuty is a damn disciplinarian - his lifestyle is too damn strict! He's too serious! You're damn right!!! And that's why you've never heard me in distress. You don't hear about the world whipping my backside. You don't hear about me getting into trouble. You don't hear about me being sick. You don't hear about me being depressed. You don't hear about me having problems or catching hell from life or anybody. I have the ultimate things most people are seeking (by trying to buy) - peace, contentment, serenity, tranquility, bliss, freedom, happiness, personal power, etc. I also have the ability to go within and extrapolate a solution or answer to any problem that may come my way or arise. I don't need any attorney, counselor, doctor, etc., I'm all of those things myself and didn't have to go to anybody's school or get some government agency's permission (license) to do these things. I just will things into existence and ask God for Divine support and assistance and I'm good to go. I don't ask anybody for any money to support me. The Universe supports me and I know it and that's why I will never be without or do without, because the Universe is inexhaustible.
Yes, living in accord or harmony with the laws of Nature and Universal Law is rewarding and liberating. It's my choice to do so and it doesn't inconvenience any other person.
I apologize if I sound arrogant or egotistical but I have learned over the years that I'm the best example when talking about certain things, because it's easier to prove relying on myself than some other person. Plus, I love a challenge, especially to be challenged into doing something I already do and do well. I'm not like many well known and famous herbalists who get on the radio and lambaste people for eating all kinds of bad things and then you find them at Trader Joe's buying goat cheese and milk, or catch them eating Lay's brand potato chips, or smoking marijuana, or drinking alcoholic beverages. I don't fake my way of life. I say what I mean and mean what I say. I walk the talk and I walk it easily because like my boys from rap group Dead Prez say: Discipline make things easier (organize your life). They are 100% correct!
 My advice to people in general is to stop doing stupid and dumb stuff and then seeking out natural remedies. If you would start to learn to live, think, and be natural you will not have to seek out natural remedies. Your preventive lifestyle would be your natural remedy.
Society has programmed the American mind. People are seriously controlled. Its making reeducating people a very tedious and cumbersome task. Society has succeeded in dumb downing us as a collective. People really can't and/or don't think, which really causes most of people's problems today. It's a trip, because people think on (and for) jobs or while at school for exams, but for themselves, people don't think and this amazes me.
I learned about 12-13 years ago to do everything for me. I have over a thousand books in my home and I bought every single book for ME! Not for some job or school or for some worldly reason. I bought them for myself to cultivate my mind and to help shape my character and views. I bought those books to acquire knowledge for myself and now after applying and living all the knowledge, information, wisdom, and understanding I attained from studying my books, I now support myself financially predicated upon what's in and what comes out of my mind. My mind is my greatest asset in the material world and I refuse to prostitute it or let it serve as someone else's asset. My father used to tell me as a little boy: Son, if you don't use your brain, someone else will.
Again, people just don't think (or at least for themselves).
You can tell people herbs are food and you can't overdose on them nor will they kill you. But I've come to realize that most people don't even know what food is. People will not hesitate to ask me, How many capsules do or should I take? But didn't I just tell you Herbs are food!!!? It's like asking, How many apples should I eat? Man, eat as many as you want to! People are so used to being told how many pills to take that it overlaps in the area of food and so-called alternative health. But people never ask me, Djehuty, how many Hershey's chocolate Kisses should I eat? or, How many Oreo cookies should I eat? People are funny!
People will also ask, How many milligrams of herb in one capsule? as though they really know what a milligram is. Please! Does a horse ask the certain amount of milligrams of calcium in a batch of hay before eating it? Does the gorilla inquire of the potassium content of a banana before he eats it? We have been so programmed that we isolate and compartmentalize every thing.
Djehuty, my doctor said I need more calcium. So if you take calcium, what is that supposed to do for you and/or your problem? Don't you know calcium is dependent upon other minerals for digestion and activity in the body? Come on people, do you think you are deficient in calcium but are proficient in the other 101 minerals?
I need iron, Djehuty! And do you think you have an optimal amount of the other 101 necessary elements? If you are deficient in iron or calcium you are deficient in many more and other minerals too.
Personally, I don't have time to seek out the various minerals individually so I eat whole foods rich and balanced in essential nutrition. I also take a green foods (Electric Greens Cell Food), Vitamin C Formula (and bioflavanoids), and Iodine Phosphate daily and get everything my body needs.
One man just recently told me that he'd purchase the detox after he researches all the ingredients. I just laughed! Do you think this man called Kentucky Fried Chicken headquarters for a list of all the ingredients in their chicken and biscuits and researched all the ingredients before he bit into a piece of finger licking good chicken? Did he call Krispy Kreme doughnut headquarters for a list of ingredients before he sunk his teeth into those gooey and sugary Krispy Casket Kreme doughnuts?
And then you got the people who are into safety. I'm going to first consult with my doctor before I take these herbs. Do you think they consulted with a doctor before they smoked their first cigarette? Did they consult with a doctor before they started drinking Cognac or Scotch? Did they consult with a doctor before they started freebasing cocaine? Of course not! But this is people for you and it's very funny to me.
And then you got the people who ask Taking 30 capsules a day won't hurt me will it? These same people ate a whole bag of Skittles candy containing over a hundred pieces and never once stopped to ask if eating more than 30 Skittles would hurt them. They can eat a dozen doughnuts and never ask before eating their sixth doughnut if eating more than six doughnuts is bad for them or will hurt them.
And I can't forget the folks who ask me, Djehuty, are your herbs approved by the FDA? Do you think they ever asked the weed (marijuana) man this before they bought a bag of weed?
And then you got the women who take the herbal laxatives and their famous question, "I can't get addicted to these colon herbs, can I?" But they never called Frito Lay headquarters and asked someone, "I can't get addicted to these potato chips, can I?" A certain potato chip commercial used to tease people by saying, Bet you can't eat just one. One what? One single chip or one whole bag? The commercial was talking about eating just one chip but you got American women, mainly Black women, who can't eat just one large bag. They can go through two or three large bags a day. You can hear them crunching away talking about I need to quit eating all these chips - this is my second bag and it ain't even lunch time. Crunch, crunch! Just crunching away!
And then there's the ultimate question (especially from Black women), "Djehuty, what can I do to lose weight?" Hell, that's easy! Stop eating so damn much! But for many Black women, that translates into or sounds like, Stop breathing so damn much! But regardless, I love my Sisters/Black women, as Lionel Ritchie would say Still.
And then there are the health adversaries who defend crazy eating and poor diet. "Man, Djehuty, you going to die from something!" Look chump, why don't you just take a 357 magnum gun and just blow your damn brains out right now! Don't nobody want to see your monkey behind sitting around degenerating and looking all bad and pathetic. After all, you got people on the scene today who talk about having a disease like they're special or privileged because they have a certain disease (and be sounding proud too that they are sick or have a certain disease). You hear them talking about, Man, I got sugar diabetes - done had it for 16 years - runs in my family. My great, great granddaddy had it, my great granddaddy had, it jumped a generation and missed my granddaddy, but my daddy had it, and now I got it, and my son probably gonna have it too and my grandbabies gonna have the trait in them.
People be sounding privileged and proud that they have a disease and had it for such a long time, as though they are on stage at the Oscars receiving an Academy Award or at the Grammy's receiving a Grammy award or something. There isn't anything special about being sick or having a disease. Sick is one notch above death.
Folks, a mind is a terrible thing to waste. The people who run the world (Masons of the Illuminati) don't want your money, guns, drugs, or material possessions. They make all of these things so they don't want what they make and already have control and domination over. They want what they don't or didn't make YOUR MIND! They allow you to have guns, drugs, material things, etc. in order to use these things to blind and distract you so as to control and dominate you. The human mind is the last frontier to be conquered. It really is!
This is why eating healthy is so important. The brain benefits, people!
So in closing, stop asking for natural remedies stemming from the result of doing unnatural things. Let your natural remedy be the prevention stemming from natural living.
And please remember, herbs and natural remedies are the exception and not the rule. The rule is natural living (to the best of your ability) in harmony with Divine and Universal Law. You can do it people! I and many others like myself in America are living proof.
I really don't like the term alternative health. It sounds like were saying there's an alternative to health for which there isn't. I know that's not what the term means, it just sounds like it to me.
I felt the need to right this article. I performed a spiritual soak and meditated and this article was the result.
Also, I was not attempting to sound comical, caustic, or belittling. My use of the word be (i.e, people be sounding proud) and other words and how I phrased them was for expressional purposes only and not for subtle promotion of ebonics or broken English.
Peace, love, light, prosperity, happiness, contentment, good health and many other good things are the incentive for righteous living in accord with Divine and Universal Law.
Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His/Her RIGHTEOUSNESS and ALL things shall be added.
I concur!
Thank you for reading!
