The brilliant Dr. Robert Weiss did something completely unheard of in the medical community. He sold his medical practice and decided to teach the importance of diet and nutrition in health by opening a “Farmacy”.

Dr. Weiss believes that we all need to change our focus for medicine and health and reconnect with the basic knowledge that has been shunned and suppressed by big pharma.

Dr. Weiss Opens the first ‘Farmacy’

After selling his New York medical practice, Dr. Robert Weiss built the very first farm-based medical practice on his 348-acre farm. Located in Long Valley, New Jersey the ‘farmacy’ is focused on treating patients with plant foods as the medicine.

“Plant-based whole foods are the most powerful disease-modifying tools available to practitioners — more powerful than any drugs or surgeries,” said Dr. Weiss.

God said:

There is more to life than the bare bones you mostly attend to. Life is more than what the world lets on. Life, as it appears to the world, is a hidden secret, which, down deep, everyone knows very well. It is like you skirt the issues of life and choose to chatter instead. The life you live has often been a secret you keep from yourself and that you go to great lengths not to see. What you don’t see can’t hurt you, you say to yourself, as you avert your eyes.

There is a door to open that you hesitate to open. You desire happiness and may accept frivolity or the appearance of frivolity with all you are worth. You may run away from the very life you desire and call that your destiny.

There are as many ways to escape life as there are ways to reach Me. You can hoard life. You can dance around it. Often you find life as a precarious situation and unreal. It is hard for you to separate real from fantasy. You don’t want to face life and the present emptiness that weighs heavily on you, which, so far as you know, you would not know how to do without.

Return to the little pleasures. The little pleasures seed your life. Let joy rise to the top.

Take to the woods, beloveds. Go for walks. Find Me. Find Me. We are One. There are no singletons. Life does not try to escape you. Life looks for you at every corner. Be here.

Is Urban Living Making Us Sick? 

The last century, especially the last several decades, has seen a steep rise in levels of allergies, asthma and auto-immune disorders. What is interesting is that statistical analysis shows that typically these conditions are more prevalent in developed nations than in developing countries, and when families migrate from a developing country with a low incidence rate to a developed one with a high incidence rate, it only takes one generation for the conditions to present.

A recent study from the University of Eastern Finland suggests that exposure to farm animals in early childhood may play an important role in the development of a healthy immune system, specifically in regards to the role of dendritic cells and cytokine production. Dendritic cells are messengers that present antigens to other cells to elicit an immunological response. Via this mechanism they regulate cytokine (messenger protein) production, adaptive immune system response, and are essential for the establishment of immunological memory.

When you finally realize that mainstream food companies are basically selling us food full of chemicals and devout of nutrients, you may, like many others, start to become a little fanatic about reading ingredients lists, seeking out GMO-free products, supplementing with superfoods, and actually paying attention to what goes into your body.

Well, guess what? Now, you suddenly may have a mental disorder, at least according to scientists at the University of Northern Colorado who conducted a case study about the obsession of eating healthy. This new eating disorder is called orthorexia nervosa (ON) and is said to be driven by a fear of being unhealthy and disgust for low-quality food.

“Orthorexia nervosa (ON) is a term introduced to describe a condition characterized by a pathologic obsession for bio-logically pure and healthy nutrition.” ~Ryan M. Moroze, MD. et al [1]
