Just a little something to freshen up the Blog. This is a Naturalist view of Life !

Medicine at its Roots

Medicine is an intricate part of society. Without it we would give in to Disease and Pre-mature death. Thanks to our (US/PR) Public and Environmental Health system we don't come in to the ER with conditions that are the #1 killers in the world like Water Poisoning and Malnutrition. But in a world full of commodity and flashy colored pills and liquids we have lost the true nature of what really was to be healthy and in the Physicians stance, what really meant to be a Healer. In todays pharmaceutical industry millions of dollars are spent on Biological, Chemical and Physical Research to find the next new 'Drug". Many of these miracle pills usually had a plant base but sadly the line of medications that we have been given for 20+ years are purely artificial. Our bodies are divine ! We have been created to create and to survive. Our bodies defenses are to admire and "aww" at. We can withstand millions of daily attacks of Bacteria, Viruses, Fungi and Parasites. If it weren't for our divine bodies we would literally be sick daily or not last very long in this planet.

As Napoleon ones said :" Water, air, and cleanliness are the chief articles in my pharmacopoeia."

Our Creator has given us an Environment compiled of all that we need to survive. The Sun gives us energy, plants give us food and Medicine and our Knowledge has given us the power to thrive and to conquer and we have become the Largest Species of this planet and not to mention the ones who "Control it".

We must try to ween ourselves from a lifestyle full of drugs, processed foods, and unhealthy habits to reach an optimal level of consciousness and health.

Just because we Control the Planet doesn't mean we Own It !

A simple exercise that helps me get in tune with my inner self and with all the external factors that compromise our home called Earth, is to STOP, CLOSE YOUR EYES, BREATH, and LISTEN... Listen to your surroundings, listen to the wind, listen to the animals, listen to yourself ! Ones you have Listened you can now Speak, you can now Act, and you can now Be.

Healthy habits like holding a Natural Diet, "Green" Living, Humanitarianism, Sharing, Helping, and Listening make all the Difference when it comes to Health and your place in the Circle of Life.

So always remember to Listen before Speaking !

God Bless U All !

Introduction = Hello !

As I entered a new stage in my life, I experienced a need to share ... I need to open up and remind myself that the world is bigger than just a small island in the Caribbean.

I'm a Biology major and Pre-Medicine Student at the University of Puerto Rico at Cayey . I research in the areas of Microbiology, Medicinal Plant Biology, and Environmental Health. I work for FreshmarT as a Nutritional Supplements & Herbal Medicine Associate. I'm the President of TMED (Clinical Laboratory Professionals) and an Active member of the Biological Honor Society (BBB). I consider myself a New Agist, meaning I believe that things are much more than what they seem.

I keep an open mind to things ... As a student researcher I need to learn how to understand, analyze and re-do many things which I don't necessarily understand at first. I've embraced a new path of Green thinking. Considering I've worked in Environmental Health and know the impact the Environment has on living organisms including Humans, Animals and Plants it is more than obvious that I must step out of the Lab and enter the World of Action.

This will be my medium of Education in Biological and Ecological topics and a means of saving my experiences for future scrutiny of my inner self.

Thanks for your Time,
