(NaturalNews) The drug industry is constantly trying to convince you that drugs are good for your health while nutritional supplements and healthy foods are somehow bad for you. This same line of nonsense is also repeated by the FDA, which goes out of its way to censor the truth about the healing properties of natural foods like walnuts, cherries and berries. (

The drug industry and the FDA are, of course, just plain wrong about all this. Although their advertisements show happy, healthy people taking
pharmaceuticals, in the
real world, people who take their
drugs are extremely unhealthy, depressed and highly
toxic.
But don't take my word for it: Check out the people walking in and out of
pharmacies versus the people who visit
health food stores:
• People who visit
pharmacies tend to have toxic livers, poor kidney function (because drugs damage the kidneys), wild
mood swings, terrible digestion and elimination capabilities, poor
skin health, poor posture, low
energy, sleep disorders and
sexual dysfunction. They tend to be suicidal while living in chronic pain. They have huge medical expenses that often send them into bankruptcy.
• People who visit
health food stores tend to have
healthy skin, happier outlooks, better energy, better sex lives,
healthy sleep, healthy hearts, healthy
liver function and greatly improved
brain function. They are more creative, adaptable and optimistic, and they tend to enjoy their lives. They spend relatively little on
health care expenses while investing their
money in organic foods, green
products, medicinal herbs and
nutritional supplements.
The choice is up to you
Which group would you prefer to join? You can choose either one by deciding what to put in (or on) your
body. If you choose to contaminate your body with pharmaceuticals and medications, you will experience increased liver and kidney toxicity, reduced cognitive function,
skin health problems, sexual dysfunction, mood
disorders and other such problems.
On the other hand, if you choose to nourish your body with superfoods, organic products,
healing herbs and nutritional
supplements, you will experience a more healthful and joyful life with improved
brain function and memory, healthy skin, stable moods, abundant energy, restful
sleep and healthy fertility, among other
benefits.
The pharmaceutical
industry wants you to choose their drugs, of course, and they don't care what happens to your health and
happiness as a result. In fact, the worse your health gets after taking their drugs,
the more of their drugs you'll need! The side effects of one drug become the "
disease" that's treated by another
drug, so it's all great for repeat
business!
Keeping you ignorant
What the
drug industry and the FDA absolutely do NOT want you to learn is that
healing foods, herbs and supplements make virtually all pharmaceuticals obsolete. If you really knew the truth about what these items can do to protect your health and cure degenerative disease, you'd probably never take another chemical pill in your life. That's why
the FDA works so hard to censor nutritional supplements and make sure they can't make truthful, scientifically-validated claims on their labels. (

The
FDA has even gone after healing
foods. The scientific literature says conclusively that
walnuts lower high cholesterol. It's the
natural result of eating the healthy plant-based oils in the walnuts. The FDA, however, has threatened walnut
companies with fines and imprisonment for merely
linking to scientific studies that describe the health benefits of walnuts.
This is how the FDA keeps people in the dark and achieves its agenda of censoring the truth about foods and supplements while promoting toxic pharmaceuticals that keep the drug companies in business.
Change your decisions and you'll change your life
It's up to you to determine how the rest of your life will be experienced. If you continue to find yourself standing in line at the local
pharmacy, or if you look in your medicine cabinet and notice a half-dozen prescriptions, let that be
a wake-up call. These drugs will never give you health or happiness. They will never create the life you're truly looking for.
Instead, take a walk to the other side of the street. Walk into a health food
store. Ask the friendly staff how to get started with healthy living. These people are incredibly helpful, by the way, so don't be afraid to ask questions.
Spend your money at the health
food store instead of the pharmacy and your entire life will improve as a result. As you improve your physical health, your brain health will get better, too, and you'll notice life getting better in many ways: Improved relationships, enhanced career (because having a healthy mind improves your job performance, too!), improved self image, increased stamina and much more.
You'll sleep better, eat better, think better, poop better and feel better. Everything your body is supposed to do naturally will simply work better as you
align yourself with the natural laws of health and nutrition. You can embrace those laws by visiting practically any health food store and taking advantage of the remarkable health-enhancing products they carry.
So find your local health food store and give them a visit! I even support Whole Foods, too. I realize there has been some controversy about Whole Foods, but compared to all the other grocery
stores, Whole Foods has achieved some astounding accomplishments. I'm glad Whole Foods is successful, because I sure wouldn't want to go back to shopping at some conventional (toxic) grocery store, would you?
Remember,
you vote with your dollars -- both in terms of what industries you support as well as what health outcome you will create. If you invest your dollars in natural health products, you will get a healthy result.
So the next time you have a choice between pharmaceuticals versus healing foods, walk over to the health food store and
choose healing foods!Be sure to view the CounterThink Cartoon on this topic here:
