Whatchu talkin' bout Willis?!

The purpose of this blog is to document my transition into what some call "healthy living." We've all heard the numerous clichés "past is prologue", "back to basics", "what goes around comes around"- yadda, yadda, yadda... We'll I think this is true about many facets of life including our health care practices. I can remember my great grandmother armed with her "Back to Eden" book and a kitchen full of herbs and concoctions. While I didn’t appreciate them now, things have some full circle. I am getting it in with a return to those times. There is a verse in the Qur’an that asks "Which of the favors of your lord will you deny?" I believe that while we are indeed imperfect, we are apart of a perfect creation fully equipped with all that we need. But, which of the favors of our lord do we continue to deny? Western medicine has created an impenetrable mindset that disregards and dispels natural medicine. This is ridiculous because Americans are some of the unhealthiest people on this earth. Many of our problems aren’t universal and there is a simple reason for that… (think about it)

So as I embark on this journey, I will share some of the happenings (good and bad) and knowledge that I encounter along the way.
