So I grew up with the good or let's say the fortunate sort
of being raised by my grand-parents
And my grand-mother was the herbalist in the community
So, I grew up with plants, bugs, and lotions
or tonics all around me.
I wasn't really ready to appreciate that at the beginning
And then my grand-father passed away and
I was sent on to my mother at age 11.
But you know, as I will share with you
when we start talking about community,
the education, the influence, the care that
you give your children when they are small,
when they are eager to learn,
they will not spray far from it.
And I speak of course from natural medicine
Alternative medicine, sometimes they say!
But this is not alternative of course!
This is the people's medicine
Because in every culture in every country,
you have people that have knowledge of
how to maintain health and how to cure disease
using all the gifts that nature, the bounty that mother nature
has right there in front of us.
From the ability to stand on the ground and not float away,
because gravity is holding us in place,
to the food she is providing for us daily,
to the air, the water, heat, sunlight, etc.
to keep us healthy.
So this is where I want to take you.
The things our grandmothers
or our great grandmothers used to use to cure that headache
or to cure that flu or to cure something more serious
like the cirrhosis of the liver,
that, by the way, can be reversed
as any condition, can be reversed (applauds)
(applauds) any condition can be reversed
