PART THREE:HOW SOIL QUALITY TRANSLATES TO HUMAN BODY HEALTH


...through food, medicines, even manufactured drugs

If medical services are billed on results - full health recovery with large payments as reward, can issues of perpetual ill-health be reduced?

Can policy of  no-results, no-pay be applied to medical services?

Instead of using man-made laws to compel people to take treatment or medication(s) that may not sustain or recover good health,  why not use the guaranteed God-made laws of good soil health to achieve  good body health? 

Achieving good soil health in growing crops for food and/or medications can stem this growing tide of perpetual ill-health with use of medications that may not work or even cause more health damage and untimely deaths. It is left to concerned people to decide if they want true solutions or continue to encourage a system where people have to pay even when there are no results, inconsistent health recoveries  or deaths of precious persons.

But people will argue – no one has control over ill-health or deatg, it is only God that decides who lives and who dies. Since we believe in God, we should know the human body is God’s creation – the base material for the human body is the soil Genesis 2: 7.
God also established the means through which the human body can be sustained (see Part One and Two  of this series).

The life that God breathed into the first human after forming the body from soil, God also breathed into SEEDS.



The human body was formed from soil and became a living being by God's breath. If the human body becomes too damaged or stops working due to one reason or the other or some reasons, the life of God will exit  - that is death of the body. So also if the soil is damaged, crops for food or medicine will die or become diseased or grow to become potentially harmful to consumers.

One of the vital ways to halt the damaging of the body is through this : Gen.1.29 - And God said, See, I have given you every plant yielding SEED that is on the face of all the land and every tree with SEED in its fruit; you shall have them for food.'

Every seed that comes from the soil has the life of God. But due to human activities and worldly wisdom,  humans have been destroying or weakening the life potency in seeds – not only of plants, but even the seeds of animals. The most damning is the weakening of the seeds of humans.  Children being born with one disease or the other or carrying disease factors in their genes is humanity’s fault, not God’s.

Every time something artificial is used to boost the germination  or growth of seeds or plants, the life-giving quality or capability of the plants and resulting seeds if used for food or medications is reduced. Thereby the human body's natural ability to recover from damage constantly gets eroded.

Whether it is food  and  drinks for direct consumption or medicine or drugs, as long as it is going into the human body, it must originate naturally from the soil without inclusion of non-food substances to ensure good health. If it can germinate and grow through natural and not artificial means from the soil, it has potency of life and can heal the human body i.e. it can sustain the body in good health or restore good health if sick.

Pure seeds or parts of plants that can grow naturally have life in them- the same quality of life that  emanates from God. But for seeds to have true potent life, they must grow from the soil naturally and not artificially. So, to get good seeds or firstly plants with seeds, ensure soil health.

When a  life-vibrant seed or plant part is planted in the soil, it overpowers harmful micro-!organisms in that soil,  takes water and other nutrients from the soil to establish  the  Godly order of life so it can grow. Even if there are plastics and toxic metals  in that soil, as long as there is constantly water which is not actually toxic and some organic matter, the seed will exude life , break up the toxixants, so they flow away and it will germinate and grow.

The same happens when such plant part or seed is ingested or nutrients taken from such to produce medication. You may wonder why such seed or plant part if ingested does not germinate in the human body which was also originally formed from soil.

I have read different views from science journals. Some say it is because of the hydrochloric acid in the stonach, some said it is because of digestive enzymes that start acting on the seed or plant part from the mouth. Only one person said what I believe the Spirit of God dropped in my mind long  before then - that the human body is a blood -activated soil so it is powered by a life that is higher and more powerful than the life in a seed or plant part.  A seed can only germinate on a dead  un- buried body that is decomposing or has decomposed.

Having done the good in a living body of reversing or starting the process of disease reversal, breaking down toxicants or destroying toxins, the seed or plant part would then decompose in the body and be expelled- the seed will purify or detoxify the living body.

More than one seed or leaf or other plant parts would most likely be needed. The advantage is that if the seeds or plants have been grown without toxic substances, they won't have toxics that can damage the body.

So you see it boils down to soil health - soil with constant good water and organic nutrients without toxic substances in the form of chemical fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides being inputed into it. Also, the soil not being constant ly contaminated with toxic industrial wastes.

If unsure of toxic soil contaminants from nearby,  planting the crops in containers can help. Soil can then be first rinsed very well, debris removed and poured into the containers. After that, organic mater is added layer by layer or level by level as the soil is poured into the container.

This certainly is not such easy job. So if such  well-tended agricultural raw materials are used for medications  or food for health maintenance or recovery,  why shouldn't people who willingly pay heavily for sophisticated medical solutions pay equally well for this seemingly simple health solution?

Few years ago, I constantly grew a crop through taking such care of the soil health in my mini-garden and harvested the seeds also. Fortunately the crop has not been commerciaoised so the seeds' natural potency has not been damaged  through any scientific or technological manipulation. I currently use the seeds  often to maintain my health and boost energy levels  for very rigorous work.

Apart from supplying some  nutrients, life potent seeds also work on this formula:
Toxins in - Toxins Out = Relief or Good health

The seeds help to expel toxins or toxicants from the body speedily, restore healthy appetite, promote sound sleep and some other body functions.

Please note that organic matter  for soil health are wastes that are possibly edible but may not be eaten such as plantain peels,ginger peels, orange peels, chaff of soya beans, coconut wastes, some plant parts etc

Organic waste does not include sewage wastes.  Some.people came to evacuate wastes from soakaway in a residential area and said they would be using or handling over the wastes for fertilizer production to grow crops. Is that organic wastes?- no! In such wastes are chemical.elements from bathing soaps, even the human faeces and urine.would likely be laden with remnants of drugs the occupants of the place may have taken.

Between chemical fertilizers and human.wastes including faeces and urime, some people may choose the former which is currently the standard practice in highly- commercialised farming.

Just know this- whether growing for food or medicine, every non-food substance you put in the soil constantly will weaken the ability of the crop to maintain or recover good health. Use organic wastes to boost soil health for human health.

PART TW0:HOW SOIL QUALITY TRANSLATES TO HUMAN BODY HEALTH

People want to recover fully but are medical services billed on full recovery or on medical work  done, length of time or medications given?

Another vital question:
Should there be any or full payment for the service if a sick person dies while receiving  medical treatment?

Many would argue that nobody (even the best of the best health professionals) has control over death. But what if God, the owner of every life and Creator of the human body has provided tangible (physical) solution that can avert death from any SICKNESS? Note the emphasis on the word sickness.

Imagine that the solution to a particular health problem a person has been having for years can be got through imgesting certain  plant parts or seeds  produced purely, naturally. So these food substances are given to the sick person to ingest without medications by  medical professional(s). In a matter of hours or few days, the person recovers or good health is restored considerably.

But seeing that what was given for recovery are food substances – seeds or plant parts, would the person and/or loved ones willingly pay the heavy bills agreed on before the medical service started?

Would they think the solution is too simple for them to pay so much for? They may reason that after all they were just given food items grown through farming which anybody can do – even their forefathers and mothers that never went to school can do.

Reeaally? So if it's so very simple to just eat or ingest those food items and recover fully from sickness, why didn’t they or their loved ones come up with the solution themselves?

If they go and buy such plant part or seed from the open market  or from a merchant or procure from just any random farmer, they may not recover. In fact their condition may get worse.

In Year 2012 during an agro-study tour to Israel and after one of the  farm visits – to farm producing very delucious sweet fruits, I was having discussions with fellow tourists. That group of agro-tourists from Nigeria I went with were all professionals in various fields.

During one of the discussions on potentials of establishing such fruit farm and processing business, a fellow Nigerian tourist recounted how a family friend of theirs in Nigeria had gone for a routine medical check up. The family friend’s  health was generally okay,  the doctor just recommended taking more of fruits.

The agro-tourist said the  family friend started taking certain fruit which was usually available as it was produced on very highly-commercialised scale in farms.  That person who  was keeping to healthy lifestyle rules and eating healthy went for another medical check up after some time. To everyone’s shock, the person, who  prior to the last check up wasn’t diabetic  and was generally in good health was diagnosed with diabetes. How?

The only thing that had changed was that the person consumed more fruits. So the agro-tourist was arguing that fruit sugar was also not healthy. I couldn't  accept that. Some thoughts on possible reasons did cross my mind but I didn’t have full clarity then.

Fast forward to a few years later when I started having health challenges - internal body pains.  As at that time the possibility of cancer and other terminal diseases was akin to death sentence – even if not actually death, the thought of chemo-therapy if it was cancer and all those in-and-out experience of going to hospital with the heavy financial requirement even without certainty of full recovery was sickening. 

But before informing my family to start the process, since I’ve  known and believed in the living God since childhood, I decided to pray first. The answer came through knowing that certain things I was eating, drinking and using, considered normal in society, had harmful substances.

I began to avoid as many as I could and started feeling better. I was able to steer clear of highly-processed foods and drinks most times. It was around then I discovered that even lots fresh foods also contained substances that were harmful to health.

Having also had many years working career as a journalist and agriculture information provider, I started utilising my experience and skills in finding out the issues in food production – mostly chemical or synthetic growth boosters for fresh foods and harmful processing agents, ripening agents and chemical  preservatives for processed foods and also many fresh foods. Most of those things I  had previously known but didnt realise how very much they affected health. 

Though constrained by space, when I started growing some plants in my mini-garden and rearing few chickens, I was able to carry out some experiments. I would test foodstuffs from certain sources and processed foods on the animals. I would use the crops I grow through organic means as control experiments.

In fact, there was a period I often abstained from eating, taking only what I knew was guaranteed healthy. I became too thin but was so very strong. So I had to remove some of the limits on food choices.

Beyond what is ingested such as food, drinks, and medications, there are also other factors like the air humans breathe in  and body care products, aside deliberate substance abuse.

While there is so much knowledge now available, it is either some simple health  solutions God already provided are not yet known or deliberately hidden or ignored.

Have you ever handed over your car to a mechanic for a fault that you know was very minor? But to your surprise the mechanic insisted, even showed you proof that it was a major problem and billed you more based on that?

Sometimes the mechanic agrees it is a small problem, fixes the problem but the car keeps on needing the fixing more often. It may even be that after a while the car has a more major problem requiring heavy payment to fix.

The issue of human health and seeking solution is so very serious  but don’t similar things happen?

I have heard people complain that they went to hospital and were given only paracetamol.  Even though they recovered, they kept complaining about the money they paid because  according to them the medical professionals didnt do anything extraordinary. So would they have wanted the medical professionals to perform unnecessary shows and prolong their stay at the medical facility or make them continue coming for treatment?

So what if they found out that what really help the body in recovering are actually agricultural raw materials that have been packaged as.medications? If those agricultural raw materials carefully and specifically produced on very healthy soils, in their pure natural forms are given to them and their permanent recovery can be more  guaranteed, would they be willing to pay and not complain that the solution is too simple?

How can such issues be resolved fully?

PART ONE:HOW SOIL QUALITY TRANSLATES TO HUMAN BODY HEALTH


...through food, medicines, even manufactured drugs...



The health of soils that crops are planted on also affects health of  people who are regular consumers of those crops as food or medications.


 

VALUE OF SOIL HEALTH TO HUMAN BODY
The human body was originally created from the dust of the ground i.e. soil as base material Genesis 2.7 – ‘Then the Lord God formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath or spirit of life, and man became a living being.’

This is not only spiritual wisdom. In fact, it makes sense naturally that the human body should be nourished from what grows from the soil.

Genesis 1.29 – ‘And God said, See, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the land (soil) and every tree with seed in its fruit; you shall have them for food.’

If what you constantly feed on are grown on healthy soils and the crops are not contaminated with non-food substances that are toxic to the human body such as chemical fertilizers, chemical pesticides, chemical herbicides, chemical preservatives, ripening agents like carbides and toxic food processing agents, you will hardly fall sick. If for some omissions or overlooked reasons, you  fall sick and go for treatment and the medicines or drugs given to you are mainly sourced from agricultural raw materials from truly healthy soils directly/indirectly, you should recover completely.

Even if the truth breaks or smashes the mammon table that this world is protecting, truth must be told since human lives are involved 🫱not recovering fully from diseases or pains or passing on diseases through heredity to offspring  is as a result of ignoring or hiding or departing from simple truths that God, the Creator of all has established.

Gen.1.11 – ‘And God said, Let the earth put forth [tender] vegetation: plants yielding SEED and fruit trees yielding fruit whose SEED is in itself, each according to its kind, upon the earth. And it was so.’
Gen.1.12 – ‘The earth brought forth vegetation: plants yielding SEED according to their own kinds and trees bearing fruit in which was their SEED, each according to its kind. And God saw that it was good (suitable, admirable) and He approved it.’
Gen.1.29 – ‘And God said, See, I have given you every plant yielding SEED that is on the face of all the land (soil)and every tree with SEED in its fruit; you shall have them for food.’

People may then argue that since what God specifically gave or directed humans to eat were plants -what grows from the earth or land i.e. soil, that eating animals is wrong.
Well, I am not too sure of that. What you can observe and draw conclusions from as I have is this🫳
Gen.1.30 – ‘And to all the animals on the earth and to every bird of the air and to everything that creeps on the ground - to everything in which there is the breath of life - I have given every green plant for food. And it was so.’

If you decide to eat animal-based products, ensure they are as fresh as possible – not preserved with toxic substances and also ensure the animals have been fed and sustained with green plants (from healthy soils) directly/indirectly. Animals given substances such as steroids and antibiotics would likely pose health challenges to the human consumers, if not immediately, over a long time of constantly eating such. 

There are of course ways to prevent or counteract such health problems from happening or solving them when they occur. Did you notice that for some reason(s), I put the word seed in those scriptures in capital as SEED. This matter of SEED would be explored in-depth un near future- the solution to most if not all health problems of humans is in truly PURE SEEDS.

For now, note that just as God formed human from the soil and breathed life into his nostrils to make him a living being, so  God has designed the seed  to breath into the soil to produce a living being - the plant to nourish human body - it is a mystery, it is spiritual but doesn't it make so much sense?

But the seed has to be truly pure to germinate on its own without assistance of such substances as chemicals on a truly healthy soil. It is such seeds that sustain or restore health when taken as food or medications. So this matter of pure seeds is directly related to soil health to sustain human life on health.

VALUE OF SOILS TO MEDICATIONS
Ascertaining health quality of medicinal crops on the farms will be key to the effectiveness of medications. Medical personnel who really want to be effective in restoring good health need to be involved in the production or in cooperation with plant producers, to ensure the health quality of crops to be used for medicines. That starts with ensuring the soil health.

IMPORTANT NOTES:
🤙very powerful efficacious medicines that can effectively treat diseases can be made from plants grown from the soil by ensuring the soil health is top notch.

🤙Plants to be used as medicines that cannot resist or fight off diseases while growing are not potent enough to effectively cure – isn’t that also a possible  overlooked reason some manufactured drugs didnt work at all or work well?

Truly good soil health and really qualitative Good Agricultural Practices will be revealed  in the ability of medicines or manufactured drugs being able to work with the body in restoring good health.

VITAL ISSUES TO PONDER ON
Choose option a. or b. or c. to the following questions

🤙LIFE QUESTION ONE
When people go for treatment, what do they really want for themselves or loved ones?

a. is it to recover completely?

b. is it to be perpetually dependent on medications or health services?

c. is it to escape pain by dying?

🤙LIFE QUESTION TWO
Should medical services be billed on

a. the effectiveness or efficiency in restoring good health?

b. on how numerous the medications given?

c. number of days spent in hospital or in providing the service?

ASSISTED SUICIDE FOR SICK PERSON(S) IS EVIL

Doctor-assisted suicide is allowing the devil to fulfil its ministry of stealing(people's health), killing (ending lives), destroying (people's destinies).

Every sickness, diseases or pain has cause(s). People can minimise if not totally avoid the cause(s) by living as much as possible according to God's manual.

If already seriously ill, people genuinely concerned about the sick person  should first try to find out what is causing the illness and get such to stop.

Get away the sick person from any physician or healthcare giver who believes in assisted suicide to stop pains permanently.

Also be aware of possibility of sabotage of sick person's health by those who have access to the sick person in one way or another. Dont be paranoid but be alert.

If pain has got to the point where a sick person would rather die, get them closer to nature - truly fresh air - where there is considerable pure greenery, let them walk or sit close to such during daytime.

Look for truly organic grown edible leaves, seeds and other  plant parts and feed them on these.

Try to get them water not contaminated from natural source - you can boil  and then add activated charcoal, sieve and give them to drink.

Try to get them to stand or sit on pure sand or soil - grounding or earthing.

Keep telling them they dont have to die in pains. Even if they are old, they can first recover.

The most important:
This should be done right from the onset- read God's word to them - bible scriptures on the blessing/promise of long life and good health.

For every sickness, there is already a solution. If you don't know it, God does and He is ever willing and ready to reveal it. 

Here is what the Lord Jesus Christ promised:

John.10.7 - So Jesus said again, I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, that I Myself am the Door for the sheep.

John.10.8 - All others who came [as such] before Me are thieves and robbers, but the [true] sheep did not listen to and obey them.

John.10.9 - I am the Door; anyone who enters in through Me will be saved (will live). He will come in and he will go out [freely], and will find pasture.

John.10.10 - The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows).

OUR HUMAN BODIES DESIGNED TO RESIST SICKNESS NATURALLY

Did you notice quite a number of very high profile individuals publicly declared they had tested positive to Covid19  before the vaccines were rolled out?

Why do you think they did that?

The rationale is that if a person catches such an infection and recovers, the body should have released antibodies. That natural body response would not only combat that infection but also prepare and strengthen the body  to resist  sickness from such viral infections in future. The individual should be ‘invincible’ so to speak as per such viral infections and would not need vaccination(s)) for such anymore.

What happens when a healthy person’ s body is infected by a virus, bacteria, fungi or parasites is  that antibodies  are  produced  by plasma cells.  The antibodies bind with antigens on the pathogens to neutralise their toxic effects or mark them as invaders so they can be destroyed by immune cells in other parts of the body.

Also some cells in the infected person become memory cells. If the person gets infected again by  organism with the same antigen, the body’s response to neutralise the threat would be swifter and more effective.

TREATMENT WITH DRUGS
Though not recognised, some Covid19 patients at that period were reportedly treated with malaria drug and did not die. It is better to save lives than do nothing.

The natural immunity of those who became seriously  sick from the infection due to one reason or the other couldn’t fight off the infection on its own. So the body needed extra support  to do its work of recovery.

The body that God created was actually designed with the natural capability to heal. But due to humanity doing things over the years contrary to the Creator’s manual, the natural superb abilities of almost all human bodies to perform certain functions  effectively has waned. This is not to blame those who fell sick to that infection or any other infection. The inability of the body to resist sickness from infection(s) may not even be due to the fault of the person(s) concerned. The issues have become systematic and systemic in the world. But being aware can help to avoid some unnecessary suffering and body pains.

Note that if a person’s body has lost that natural ability to heal, even the use of approved/prescribed medications may not be able to ginger it back to good health.

WHAT TO DO
But the more people live right  on truly healthy foods constantly, water devoid of chemicals, when needful - medicines without questionable substances  in them, fresh air, use of non-toxic body care products or produce etc; the more likely their natural ability to fight diseases or respond to medications’ support to recover.

IMPLICATIONS
The waning ability of the human body to heal naturally  has been increasing demands for conventional  medical products and services. But this will eventually call to question the relevance of the practice. It is already happening. Lots of people are  dissatisfied, not always from the quality of the conventional healthcare services but due to the outcomes – deaths or worsening health condition or side effects causing other health problems. 


REMEDIES
Safe medications should consist of food  nutrients - food substances produced in truly healthy ways and administered without the inclusion of toxic substances (toxins from biological sources or toxicants from non-biological substances).

The use of medications such as vaccines that also contain non-food substances!, though approved as safe, if used too constantly or regularly would deny the body the opportunity to do its function as it was designed to. The more the non-food substances getting into your body, the less the ability of the body to function naturally and respond to myriads of toxic invaders by producing antibodies.

Though vaccines can help your body fight against certain types of toxins( that you have been vaccinated against, they reduce your body's natural ability to produce antibodies on its own naturally without being gingered by  medications to fight  toxic invaders.. So you will most likely need vaccinations or other medications to fight other kinds of toxins not vaccinated against. 

You may still need medications for even other strains of the virus you have been vaccinated against. IIf the virus a person has been vaccinated against undergo mutation and infects the person again, at least a booster shot may be needed to fight it, if not full re-vaccination.


Your body will be dependent on medications and the more you take them, the less your body’s ability to do what it was designed to do naturally. A body too dependent on medications is a body  with less natural immunity to fight off diseases.

While it is okay to go for treatment when sick, medications should not be  perpetual. Your body must be able to recover fully from a sickness.

The body God created is a masterpiece –do you know a healthy body can produce antibodies when needed specifically for any type of antigen from.any  of the millions or perhaps billions of virus, bacteria, fungi, parasites if cared  for according to God, the Creator's manual?

EFFICACY OF FUTURE MEDICATIONS...

The  effectiveness of medications in maintaining or restoring health in the near future will actually be determined on the farms and not in the labs

BEWARE OF FOODS PRESERVED WITH FORMALDEHYDE- FORMALIN


Formaldehyde or the liquid formalin used in the preservation of dead bodies is also illegally used in preservation of some foods such as frozen chicken/turkey.
 
Various health researches and researchers have confirmed that formaldehyde is a toxic chemical. Other foods though illegally preserved with formaldehyde include meat, vegetables, fruits. Regular consumption of foods preserved with such has been found to cause severe health problems. These range from internal burns -serious inflammatory effects, hormonal imbalances, organ damage such as kidney disease to cancer.

 According to the 
National Institutes of Health (NIH) – USA, formaldehyde, which is sometimes illegally added to food for preservation, can cause significant damage due to its high reactivity with proteins and nucleic acids in the body, which disrupts normal cell function. 

The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classifies formaldehyde as carcinogenic to humans. There are other myriad of health challenges linked to formaldehyde which include headaches, skin irritations and so on. 

According to NIH, there is formaldehyde which occurs naturally in small, trace amounts in many common foods (fruits, vegetables, fish, meat) as a result of normal metabolic processes. The human body also produces and metabolises formaldehyde naturally, and generally eliminates these low levels without harm. The real danger stems from added formaldehyde (formalin), which is used as an industrial chemical and embalming fluid, and is present in quantities far exceeding natural levels. Formaldehyde as a direct food preservative is already banned in many countries especially those in the European Union.

I am not sure if the use of formaldehyde in food preservation is banned  here in Nigeria. The food with usage of formaldehyde is usually imported frozen foods such as chicken and turkey especially those smuggled into the country. In 2006 thereabout, importation of  these was banned in Nigeria but it  has continued because  the demand for the frozen chickens and turkeys are so very high not just for parties but for individuals and households. 

These poultry birds needing so much preservation are produced outside the African continent and shipped frozen to West Africa. So the dealers need to keep them looking fresh  even though they are ‘over-dead’. 

Also,  perhaps as a result  of dodging customs  control  when bringing into Nigeria,  there could be delays during transportation. This would then result in the cold chain being disrupted. But the operators would have used  strong preservative, most likely toxic substance - formaldehyde so the products still look and scent nice. Unfortunately the preservative is capable of damaging health of regular  consumers.

SOLUTION
Don’t expect me to say don’t ever buy and eat such again when truth be told,  our local poultry industry does not yet provide viable alternative that is convenient –readily available, cost-effective with small sizes instead of whole chickens/turkeys  or preferable parts. 

 Over the years, I have asked  operators in the poultry sector severally “why can’t chickens and turkeys produced in the country be sold massively, in bit sizes as frozen food?”  So when consumers cannot afford or do not need at that point in time a whole bird, they can buy half or quarter or in kilograms- one kilogramme, half kilogramme. If produced in the country and stored frozen, they shouldn’t be ‘over-dead’ before reaching consumers. So there wouldn’t be need to use such a health-damaging chemical as formaldehyde – formalin, would there? 

I have come to understand the reasons many live poultry dealers wouldn’t  want to take the risks of slaughtering, dressing and freezing the chickens or turkeys in expectation of sale in my country Nigeria. In fact, even I, with all I  know about the health challenges of these imported chickens, last week, after some years of avoiding such purchases I bought such frozen chicken. They are more readily available than live chickens in most areas, they are convenient and relatively cheaper. 

I noticed few days afterwards that I was not feeling as energetic as I usually felt. I could still do some of my regular activities but not those very  heavy tasks that required the activation of  my super gecko- muscles!

Eating foods with such substances is likely major  reason so many people are not as strong as they should be. There were even some hours afterwards that standing straight caused me pains. I even noticed wrinkles  on my face and some strands of grey on my hair – I am not joking o. I  have discovered that the signs of aging are more pronounced after eating certain foods or taking certain drinks. 

I wouldn’t have minded the aging signs but it would give the impression that I am suffering so badly. Then concerned loved ones would attribute it to the farm work I do willingly in my mini-garden instead of the real culprit – toxic substances used in producing, processing or preserving most food and drinks. In fact, days later my body felt itchy and there were some blemishes for some days on my hitherto smooth skin. 

So it’s your choice – if it’s just signs of aging and not actually sickness that formaldehyde-preserved foods brings, maybe you don’t mind. In fact, there’s even option of heavy make-up witj use of foundation to cover up wrinkles and skin blemishes.

In case toxin or toxicant brings sickness, going to hospital may be more convenient. Just know the possible cause(s) so as not to continue perpetuating the health problem while receiving treatment and blaming the medical professionals. 

GOVERNMENT ROLE 
Rather than putting efforts on enforcing the ban, the government should direct efforts on making it possible for local chicken producers and/or processors to sell locally produced chickens in smaller quantities as frozen. 

I have sometimes urged live chicken sellers to slaughter a bird and sell half or a quarter  of it to me. But they would say what would then happen to the remaining if no one buys immediately. 

Frozen chicken sellers already selling the imported ‘over-dead’  frozen chickens/turkeys should be willing to accept and sell locally-produced poultry in bits as frozen foods. If there is massive publicity that frozen chicken/turkey sellers now have half or quarter locally-produced chickens/turkeys, surely there are consumers that would  prefer to buy such? 

Would there be people that would prefer the  ‘over-dead’ imported toxic  chickens/turkeys?

Dealers would no doubt complain of epileptic power supply as hindrance to preserving freshness of the locally-produced chickens. Maybe solar freezers can be adopted.

 There are opportunities for viable investments in making it more convenient, readily available and cost-effective (smaller quantities),to get locally-produced chickens/turkeys. 

As demand for the locally-produced chickens/turkeys  increase, please producers and processors, avoid the use of health-damaging growth-boosters and preservatives. People who produce/sell food and drinks that damage consumers’ health eventually lose out completely.
