LOCAL SCIENCE EXPERIMENTS HELP DETECT TOXIC FOODS

Do you know simple scientific experiments which I call local science can help detect toxic effects of some foods?

How did I come up with  this mode of scientific research? Uuummm...it may be as a result of not having the funds to set up a proper well-equipped laboratory  to detect toxins in food.

As many as care to find out if what they are taking into their bodies are toxic may also adopt these local science experiments further below.

From recent news reports,  there are  increasing numbers of chronic diseases – cancers, hypertension, diabetes, kidney failures  etc,  not only in Nigeria but in other countries as well. The situation in Nigeria or any  other country should concern us as the numbers  are indicative of the  deep suffering of people including innocent children. 

It is said that some states in Nigeria have as high as 12percent of the population  with kidney problems. Borno state is said to have the highest with 14percent of the population. 

For instance, this is for explanation  - if there are 10 million people in a state, 14 percent of the population means 1.4million  people – HUMAN BEINGS have kidney problems.  

From my observations I think it was after the Covid19  Pandemic – around Year 2021, that the use of toxic substances in food production further heightened in our country.

But how do you know if any food has toxins in it? It would be nice to set up a sophisticated laboratory to test. But in the absence of that, you can use domestic animals.

 I rear afew chickens and recently I  have been using them to test if certain foods have elements that are toxic or not too ideal for consumption. 

But it started with some observations almost two years ago. At that period I was avoiding intake of processed foods. I also avoided cooking with any fresh foodstuff I perceived must have been grown with chemicals. 

At that period, the leftovers I had were of course healthy foods. So if I didn’t have grains left to feed the chickens, I would feed them the leftovers. The two  local  chicken breeds  - a cock and hen I had then were particularly healthy – they blossomed. 

Everyone who saw them then would comment that my chickens looked good. Their pooh also didn’t emit foul odour. 

I have heard  and read how fresh chicken pooh is said to be toxic to use as manure for plants. But whenever I used the fresh pooh of those chickens to manure the growing plants in my mini-garden, no negative issue – the plants also blossomed. That hen  I had then was  very prolific in laying eggs – so many fresh eggs. 

But for myself, as a result of cutting off so many foods, I had lost weight. I had  to gain some  body weight  so as not to look too thin. Therefore I needed to take off the limits on my food choices. 

By then I had got four additional local chickens to rear – 2 males and two females.  The hen from the first set of two which was prolific in laying eggs was the smallest in size. But It’s body mostly covered with feathers looked radiant.   It was also a very strong chicken -it even  bullied all the new chickens that were bigger in size – three of the new chickens had been given drugs by their previous owners before I purchased them so they looked big - big but weaker in strength. 

Towards the end of last year, the first set of two chickens and two of the new set  were slaughtered at different times.  

The remaining two  are a cock and hen from the newer set.

By the beginning of this year, I  was taking  processed foods and also non-organic fresh foodstuffs more regularly in order to gain some weight. I have become even more certain than  these foods have toxins in them – I usually experience their inflammatory effects – inflammation is the body’s response  to substances that may portend danger. If the inflammation is mild, it may be okay but if serious such that it makes one feel very uncomfortable or weak, this is an indication that  the body is reacting to what it finds very toxic. This should not be ignored. The toxins have to be removed from the body and whatever bringing in the toxins into the body should be discontinued . 

For my local science experiments, if for instance I have leftover jollof rice or noodles or beans or non-organic bananas or pancake from processed wheat flour, I would give to these current chickens. 

You need to have seen live how horrible the chickens especially the hen started looking afterwards. A day or few days after eating those foods, they would start having diarrhoea and/or inflammation on their skin.

Some of their feathers have fallen off. So whenever the chickens eat leftover food with the slow poisons that we humans usually eat on regular basis, sometimes later their bare skin would become so very reddish!

It would appear that a mass of thick red blood have coagulated at  different parts of the chicken body under the skin – that is indication of inflammation and/or blood clot. The chickens especially the hen started having difficulty walking. The hen  eats more than the cock. 

Then I would feed them heavily with leaves and also give them charcoal so the chickens wouldn’t have a stroke.  

The pooh of these current chickens fed on non-organic foods smells foul. I suspect it may be reason  some of the plants I have been manuring with the chicken pooh are having patches like fungus disease on the lower part of their leaves. 

Also after the first laying cycle of about 8 eggs some months ago, this hen has not laid any more eggs. This is unlike the first hen of the same breed that after its first laying cycle, usually laid eggs every two to three days for at least four months before it went for Christmas festivity. 

When discussing these local science outcomes with a friend, she buttressed this with another revelation. Some friends of hers were rearing rabbits. According to what my friend said, some of the rabbits being fed with noodles became blind. 

Whether they are processed  or fresh foodstuffs grown with chemicals, food  or drinks that toxic substances have been used in their production introduces toxins into the consumers and these can cause ill-health or damage health.

I am now trying to do a reversal by consistently feeding my mini-garden chickens organic food or feeds going forward.

The effects of toxins humans take in may not be as immediately obvious as they occur in these small animals. 

Some people may just experience itches or some blemishes on their skin or wrinkles on the face or other parts of the body. There will always be an initial sign given by the body when toxins enter into it minutes, hours or days later. Human beings can even easily use makeups to cover up these signs but take more proactive actions to avert full-fledged  heath problems. 

Having detected and confirmed that  food  and drinks with toxic  substances contribute immensely to  the blemishes or wrinkling of the skin, especially face, I  would sometimes do videos or take photos of my bare face early in the morning. This also helps in checking the effects of what I have been taking. 

This is not about vanity - if what one is taking  into the body is causing some  blemishes or wrinkling on the skin, this is an indication that substances have got into that body  that can do even more serious damage if ignored. 

So if one keeps noticing the outward blemishes or other distress signs of the body, find out what is causing these. Then, get the toxins out and/or stop the intake of food, drinks or medications  through which toxins get into the body. Also avoid breathing in polluted air and stopuse of body care products with harmful elements. 

But more importantly we need to keep advocating for the stoppage of toxic substances in foods, drinks, medications, body care products and the pollution of the environment.

PART THREE:- HOW FOOD CAN TREAT DISEASES, SHARPEN INTELLIGENCE, PREVENT DEPRESSION

So which foods are truly healthy that can help combat diseases especially at the early stages? 

This is not an attempt to do away with professional  medical or health care services when needed. This is to ensure that  people  can heal completely, even after seeking medical care.

 It is also to reduce or if possible totally prevent instances of people dying before they are able to get the medical treatment. It is to prevent living perpetually in pains or minimise instances of lives tied perpetually to medications  for survival – what if something happens and they cannot get the needed medication when needed? 

Currently many people have to manage body pains for very prolong period. Some still die as a result in spite of spending so much on getting reputably advanced medical  care.  

The human body is not a car or any other automobile that usually breaks down due to usage.  Automobiles were produced by humans, so it’s understandable that they constantly break down especially after few years of usage. 

But the human body was designed by an Almighty, All-wise God to live for very very many years  in good working condition. If it is not working well, something has been done or is being done to it - the cause may not be the fault of the carrier of the body.

As constantly reiterated, what causes most diseases are toxic substances that get in or on the body.  Those substances are things never intended by God, the Creator of that body to get into that body. The various means those things get in have been mentioned in previous parts and series.

The damaging effects of those toxic substances become even more pronounced when absorbed into the bloodstream. Even if the liver purifies the blood and separates those substances, if they are too toxic or stony - hard inorganic toxic substances, the kidneys may not be able to pass them out of the body  through urination. Their attempts at passage could damage the kidneys.

 If the toxic substances are such that the kidneys can pass out, if a person constantly takes in too much toxins through food or medications or substance abuses or body care products or air pollution, the kidneys would be overworked. Some of those  toxic substances would have to wait for expulsion  – so the organic and inorganic toxins will remain in the bloodstream.

As the blood circulates, they will be taken by the blood to different parts of the body- internal organs, tissues, cells causing aches and pains. They may even be deposited in some parts of the body  such as in the breasts, the cervix, in the prostrate  area.

When such constantly get to the brain, you can imagine what they’ll do – disrupt normal functioning – such a person would likely have mental blocks when toxins are visiting/passing by the brain. If it happens constantly, especially if some toxins get deposited around the brain, even if they don't amass to  form a tumor, wouldn’t it affect the brain's functioning?

Before calling any child dullard, why not find out what the child is constantly being fed or feeding on?

 I had Dyslexia  as a child – from what I can recollect, I would completely forget some things I had been taught. It was such that I couldn’t write letter A at age 5years – I was flogged by a teacher at an afternoon lesson as a result.

When I cast back my mind to what was happening about four and half decades ago, I remembered something – my mother did not allow it so I was doing it secretly. – I used to have lots of coins at my disposal so I would leave our apartment making older family members believe I was going to play – partly true. I would go and buy very sweet candies – my favourite then was called ‘ekona Gowon’ – Gowon’s fingernail  and  very sweet chewy chocolate  - Goody-Goody which I called Kudi-Kudi. I would buy as much as the money with me and chewed them fast instead of licking so I wouldn’t be discovered. 

I did that almost everyday and would often have low appetite for nutritious meals – I disliked that ‘eba’  made from cassava and the ‘ewedu’ – vegetable soup  with stew that we often ate for lunch. 

If I could escape eating the meal,  I would – but I struggled academically such that I repeated Primary 1. I was then more closely-monitored, so my secret childhood indulgence on extra sweet treats was on and off.  

When I was in Primary 5 , my family condition changed.  By then there were no longer  extra money for such treats. For some years afterwards, my grandmother would often bring foodstuffs from the village grown under her supervision. You may think it is coincidence but it was around that period that the mental blocks I often suffered which had been on and off from Primary 1 to Primary 4 cleared.  

It was in Primary 5 that I was actually able to read clearly and simultaneously started writing stories that got attention of the teacher. In Primary 6, I wrote my first novel on  a 2A exercise book. I also graduated with a Distinction  from Prinary school

Also when I was teaching children as a private  teacher in their homes, I noticed something  similar.  There’s this particular boy  in a wealthy home. He has siblings, some of which I also taught. The boy had attended the best private schools but was struggling academically. He had a very sweet tooth  -  he loved frizzy sugared drinks so much then. Two of his younger ones that I also taught whose mouths were  not so wide, learnt faster and improved remarkably academically. 

The older boy also did improve academically but it was a whole lot of struggle for him and I had to take very painstaking measures in teaching him. If I had known what I know now, I may have insisted that he cut off or reduce his excessive intake of those processed foods. I did discover that one of the younger ones I taught  didn’t like processed foods – he even wanted to give away  the processed foods they had at home. 

Also with  depression,  unhealthy foods which may or may not be expensive affect moods. Circumstances of life can and does make people unhappy but unhealthy foods aid the slip into depression.  I also have traced periods of depression to consumption of certain foods. 

Substance abuse,  side effects of some medications  and exposure to certain pollutants in the air can also affect moods and the slip into depression.

Just remember this as a formula- for most diseases, depression and mental blocks, some things have got into your system, get them out as fast as possible.

Formula:

Toxins in – Toxins out = Relief or Good Health + S.M.E = Total Healing

Healing is of course holistic- you also have to take care of your Spiritual, Mental and Emotional health through what you do, listen to and relationships. 

In those periods of examples I cited, to minimise toxins through food, people who were aware, simply avoided processed foods as much as possible – the processes such as whitening of some processed foods, making them  have certain qualities or use of some preservatives to extend their shelf-life often introduce substances that are not ideal, even harmful to the human body.

These then become toxic to the body if unable to pass through the kidneys or if taking longer than normal to pass out.  It can result in insulin resistance leading to Diabetes, Hypertension, Blood Clotting, Stroke etc or even Chronic Kidney failure or Disease.

But in recent times, apart from processed foods, use of certain harmful growth boosters in growing  plants or rearing animals for human consumption  have also increased.

They gradually damage the body – they are slow poisons and should be No – No. 

While we wait for a change that prohibit/ eliminate the use of harmful substances in farming and  food processing, let’s consciously remove toxins from our bodies using about the safest means – truly healthy foods – at least edible leaves, seeds, fruits, other vegetables. Even some carbs, proteins and oils produced without the use of toxic substances can help soak up, reduce the effects and/or eliminate toxins from the body.

All such foods cannot be mentioned in this write--up but know that most  foods grown or produced without toxic substances have healing effects - find out more.

To specifically remove toxic substances from the body so that they can pass through the kidneys or be flushed out, I’ll mention a few.

1. Pawpaw leaves taken as tea help soak up and remove toxins.

2. Seeds of crops such as Pawpaw can remove toxins from the body – they can be blended and taken as tea or used in spicing food.

Some toxins are so hard they get stuck in the kidney(s), described as kidney stones. 3.Avocado seeds – grated and soaked in water to drink or boiled as tea. They can also be dried and blended into powder. Swallow about a teaspoonful of the powder and drink water or hoil and drink as tea. You may sieve but it’s also safe without sieving. 

4. African cherry leaves – agbalumo  leaves I have found to be a kidney stone breaker. I boil with other leaves and use in making soft drink. When the mixture leaves drink ferments a little, it tastes like wine.

5. If you soak locally-well-made gari in water and drink the water, it can help calm the body – the tummy in particular.

6. If rice has not been grown or processed with chemicals, the parboiled water can have some healing effects but DONT TRY IT. Why? Because you can hardly get rice produced without chemical boosters. 

As much as possible try to get organic-grown ones of any food being used for healing effects. 

How do you know when toxins  get into your body? 

There will be inflammation  - a sort of burning sensation in your body minutes or hours after eating or drinking or taking the medication or substance or inhaling. 

If you constantly ignore this inflammation, most or all the toxins may get absorbes by the blood. Even with detoxification by the liver, thry msy pose challenges to the kidney(s) and flow through the blood as explained watlier.

Part 2 of this series explains how to reduce the amount of toxins absorbed by the blood. 

Afterwards you can eat foods or drink teas of leaves that remove the toxins. Plant edible leaves, for instance pawpaw in buckets if you don’t have the land. At least you can harvest the leaves to make drinks. 

Note: since the leaves remove toxins from the body, they also remove fat – toxins that have stayed in the body would likely be deposited in fatty areas of the body. So they can result in weight loss. For someone who does not want to lose so much weight, ensure to eat well.

PART TWO: HOW FOOD CAN TREAT DISEASES, SHARPEN INTELLIGENCE, PREVENT DEPRESSION

PART TWO:
HOW FOOD CAN TREAT DISEASES, SHARPEN INTELLIGENCE, PREVENT DEPRESSION

When we were growing up as children, I noticed many mothers at that period were very focused on ensuring their children eat nutritious though not necessarily expensive foods. They didn't have so much for expensive foods anyway.

It was the processed foods that were  so much more  expensive then.  In fact, a lot of nutritious foods were relatively very cheap at that period – organic-grown fruits, vegetables and a whole lot of fresh foodstuffs.

I understand now from those childhood days and from my experience in teaching children how truly nutritious foods made children very strong, vibrant with life and affected Intelligent Quotient.

This was also evidenced in many adults whether literate or not. I will tell those life stories another time.

Nutrients are substances that a living organism must obtain for growth and the sustenance of life, according to Science Direct.

The nutrients, basically got through healthy foods, especially if uncontaminated, will help keep the body strong and able to fight off diseases.

When there is a disease in that body or the manifestation of an ailment like a mild headache or body aches, it means that certain factors have overpowered the body’s natural ability to defend itself, stay strong and function normally.

The causes of diseases according to scientists can be  nutritional deficiencies, harmful or toxic substances getting into the body through air pollution, food, drinks, body care products, medications, vaccines, hard substance abuse, genetic or hereditary factors, pathogens like viruses and bacteria, etc.

The long and short of cause(s) of disease(s) is  simply this, certain things that were never intended by God the Creator to get into the human body have got in.

They weaken the body’s ability to resist the factors causing diseases mentioned above – a virus even the Covid19 virus is powerless in a healthy body regularly taking TRULY NUTRITIOUS FOODS.

Hence reason during the Pandemic some people tested positive to the virus but didn’t fall sick in spite of the fact that a pathogen would fight hard to overpower the life, even end the life of the host.

The life cycle of the virus would end without drama in a healthy person, likely get expelled from the body and the person would test negative.

Not all of those toxins that have got into the body need get into the bloodstream. Those toxins that don’t get absorbed by the blood  may still do some damage as they pass through the respiratory tract on one hand or the digestive tract out the body through the large intestines to the rectum through defecation.

The damage can be greatly minimised through taking certain foods that have lots of roughages – dietary fibre. 
Foods high in dietary fibre include legumes such as beans, groundnuts or peas, fruits,  vegetables especially the dark leafy greens like spinach but also includes carrots  and other vegetables,  whole grains such as oatmeal, brown rice, nuts, and seeds.

Many of us throw away the skins of fruits like mangoes but to boost fibre intake,  eat the edible skins of  fruits very well – just ensure they have not been sprayed with chemicals.

The fresher and more unprocessed the foodstuffs, the more the dietary fibre it will have over the processed foods.

Countries especially developing ones need to develop small or cottage fruit-drying businesses – these fruits need not be treated with chemicals before drying well. Rather than fruits wasting away, they should be processed without the addition of  toxic drying agents or toxic preservatives and sold as fruit snacks.

It would really help a lot to avert diseases or reverse diseases like cancer of the colon and other bowel diseases if people snack on dried fruits like mangoes, bananas, carrots, apples.

Nuts including almonds, other seeds, dates, prunes are also good fietary fibres. Eating of Sweet potatoes and other potatoes with their skins boost roughage intake.

Other foods with roughages  are maize, oatmeal, brown rice, whole-wheat bread,

Some seeds  may not be so palatable to eat but also very vital in treating diseases or getting rid of pathogens.

Seeds of various organic-grown edible crops such as pawpaw, dates, oranges, grapes, lemon not needed for planting can be dried, blended and sprinkled into or on foods and beverages.

They will aid the passage of pathogens and other toxic substances causing diseases out of the body. Seeds are very powerful anti-pathogens especially those seeds taken from pure bred crops

The less the toxic elements in the body, the better the body functions. Better to be conscious and adopt some, if not all of these to avert or reverse diseases like colon cancer.

Roughages help some wastes including toxic substances  to bypass being absorbed by the blood. But some of those toxins that got into the body may still find their way into the blood.

If absorbed by the blood, the health issues that may result are often described as chronic. If the disease has got to critical levels, it is better to consult with or seek treatment  with professional healthcare providers.

But to avert or reverse the Chronic diseases  that are blood related at least at the early stages, truly healthy foods can still be used.

PART ONE - HOW FOOD CAN TREAT DISEASES, SHARPEN INTELLIGENCE, PREVENT DEPRESSION

I remember watching a Korean film based on a true life story in which a cook later became a medical doctor and would use food to treat diseases. 

Long before then in the kingdom, food was  being used by some of the palace kitchen staff to control the health of members of the royal household for many generations.  If some power brokers in the kingdom wanted to depose a king, prevent a prince from ascending the throne or weaken him if he became king so he wouldn’t function well, they bribed those kitchen staff to  accomplish their aim. 

Also, if they want to prevent a queen or any female in the royal household from getting pregnant or  have miscarriage they used food. They also mostly used food to terminate the life of anyone they wanted to end.   

I watched the film about 15 years ago. Though the film was based on a true life story in the 14th century I thought then that those manipulations of people’s  lives with food were too far-fetched.

 It seemed then that it was the mastery of a highly creative and skilled script writer that made fiction looked real. That was probably due to the fact that around that period I had gone for a screen writing course and was later offered a temporary trainee lecturing opportunity on screen writing. 

So my deep interest in the film was more on the skill of writing/telling compelling stories for the screen. So I was not so fixated on the reality in that film story at time.

Moreover I was too naive at that time to believe that in these modern times, that food can be used to heal or cure, manipulate health and well-being or even kill a person or people.

 The more common reality has been of people not having access to sufficient food due to poverty , famine or crises like wars. 

But what people may not know is that food can still be used for a whole  lot of health manipulations and premature deaths that  even with all the technological advancements, the actual causes may never be traced.

This is not direct poisoning of someone or people’s food or drink that can easily be traced. This is a gradual build-up of toxic elements in a person’s system over time such that the blood  becomes toxic.

Such toxicity can also be due to other means like polluted air, use of body care products with harmful elements, sexually-transmitted blood pollution or diseases,  synthetic elements from medications etc. If the person is into substance abuse or alcoholism, that would be immediately be the only identified culprit for the ill-health or premature death.

 This may be true but  in addition, it could  also be the consumption of toxic food over a prolonged period. 

To some extents, many people can avoid these other means through which the blood can be ‘toxified’. I have chosen to coin and use  the word ‘toxify’ rather than pollution of the blood.  But they would most likely be unable to  totally avoid toxic foods except they have total control over the production of ALL the food they consume.  

So when people are being lured into giving up control of food they eat especially to those who are capable of enslaving them, they should be wary. Even the rich and mighty who think they are invincible and can always have access to all the food they desire can still be manipulated through food. 

 The manipulation can start at the primary production  - farming stages where they cannot always monitor even they can fully monitor the preparation in the kitchen. 

 

Food can actually be used to manipulate the health of people, sharpen or reduce their IQ, strengthen or weaken them emotionally/sexually, make them grumpy or happy even in recent years.

I keep saying it – if what was not intended by God the Creator to get into the human body, keep getting in and absorbed by the blood, the normal functioning of the body would be distorted. This distortion  will manifest  in at least one way or multiple ways.

 Synthesized medications will only suppress the problem, provide some temporary relief but not fully solve the problem  - this will only postpone the problem.

That said, please if sick, it is okay to go the hospital or seek medical intervention. The reason is this – a sickness that stems from years, months or weeks of toxic build up in the body system need to be immediately addressed. Food  takes time – must first pass through the process of digestion – mouth, oesophagus, stomach, small intestine from where the nutrients that  provide strength/ healing are absorbed by the blood. 

These are taken to the liver for detoxification  where the toxins are separated from the blood. The problem arise when some or all the toxins cannot pass through the kidneys. The toxins thereby build up in the blood. All the other means orr place tated earlier through which toxins get into the blood can sometimes  be avoided but food is something people normally take daily if they are not fasting and there is no problem. 

So imagine taking in food with toxic elements on a daily basis- more and more toxins queue up for exit from the body through the kidneys

 If they don’t all get expelled, they constantly build up in the blood – azotaemia – that means that the blood will start carrying extra-load or impurities.

Some factors would then determine which disease will cccur first – kidney disease, liver disease, hypertension, cancer, diabetes, arthritis, fertility issues, eyesight weakening, excessive wrinkles, skin blemishes etc. 

In that Korean film I watched, a mentor asked the mentee-cook to constantly  find leaves  or herbs and research on them and how they could be used in cooking. It was that mentee-cook that later studied to become a medical doctor.

In current times, people  who are truly knowledgeable about herbs as food can use these to counteract sicknesses from becoming full-blown.

During my NYSC and shortly afterwards, I was teaching little children as a classroom teacher and private lessons teacher – looking  back now I  remember some things on how nutrition affected the IQ/academic performance of many of those children. 

Also, have you ever wondered why some adults sometimes act as through their brain is touching or some screws have come loose in their brain? If they are into alcohol or dome other substance abuse, that will be fingered.

 But why does it  also sometimes happen to people who are not into any substance abuse? 

Apart from traumatic circumstances, would you believe that toxic food is actually also a major reason for depression?

To be continued...

(PART FOUR) HOW FERTILITY PROBLEMS ARE CAUSED BY BLOOD TOXICITY

What are the solutions to fertility problems in  current times?

Let us understand that if this matter is not addressed, more men may have heart attacks, cardiac arrests, even untimely deaths during intercourse especially if they use hard substances or medications for sexual  performance. Women are of course more careful in satiating their sexual desires. So the chances of a woman passing on during such activity is less.

There is also a serious socio-cultural problem that has been brewing for many years as a result of these fertility issues. After childbirth(s), lots of married women should still have the obligation of constantly satisfying their partners' sexual needs. But they are often not so excited about it, may just try to conceal it.

There is also some wrong assumptions  or partially true assumptions about the reason(s) for that. It is assumed that her lack of sexual excitement is due to the concerns/demands of  taking care of her child or children, other household demands and family matters. These are no doubt valid. But one serious but often overlooked factor is that the toxicity in a woman’s blood and the consequent weakening of the body or ill-health usually show up sooner in women than men of same age groups. This is more so if the woman has had difficult childbirth(s) and/or constantly taking certain contraceptives. 

Though some men are just sexually-greedy  but having a partner who is not deeply excited to fully explore such intimacies  with is put off for lots of men. Rather than patiently address the issues with their partners, many men seek to have mistress(es) or side chic(s) or even marry another wife or wives.

As a result of this, we have been hearing the funny narrative(s) that all men are polygamous in nature or wired for more than one sex partner at a time. An even more silly narrative is that they want to help single women by marrying them to free them from singlehood. Really?

Though there are single ladies who for one reason or the other want to marry or have deeply intimate relationship with married men, not all singles are  that desperate for marriage or love relationships. If some men know how much some singlehood ladies would have wanted to slap their faces for making sexual advances at her, it would quench his libido.

Back to health matters (I needed to drop that because some women truly don’t like distractions).

So whether or not, the man having strained marital relations with his wife gets other  female(s), if he is not aware that his blood is being ‘toxified’, his own health issues will still catch up with him.

One of the ways for a man or woman to know if their fertility health which is pointer to more serious health issues  are being compromised is If they perpetually need medications after getting treated for an ailment or disease. No matter what the sickness is, constant headaches or migraines, diabetics, hypertension, kidney problems, arthritis, Alzheimer, stroke, heart attack etc, the body’s natural ability to function normally is being eroded with perpetual medication.

For a man, the rod of Moses would eventually start needing some special energisers to perform. 

While it is okay to get treated when sickly, the medical drugs taken should have a time limit after which the system that has been designed by God, the Creator, with the natural ability to self-heal should by itself restore complete healing to that body.

But in recent times, why do people’s bodies not heal completely? Even if they cut off some  harmful lifestyle choices, many people’s bodies can no longer self-heal.

This is because most of  the food and drinks eaten, even the ones that are supposed to be healthy are not actually healthy. Hence many people of faith who know God can heal supernaturally keep seeking miracles instead of doing the needful.

Any food that contains elements not supposed to be taken into the body  will in addition to supplying nutrients  also supply harmful elements. As the food heals and strengthens, it also damages because of the toxins in them.

Most industrially-produced drugs and body care products also contain synthesized elements – they are also harmful, doing harm to the body depending on the quantities of these toxic inorganic elements in them.

The voices of those advocating for food safety especially in primary food production that is difficulty to regulate are becoming hoarse.

Abraham and Sarah’s fertility issues’ reversal  cited in this series, that later resulted in many  fruitful years  was possible because at that time the level of toxicity in food systems wasn’t thus intense.

Now that we understand that fertility issues pointing to more serious health challenges would no longer be the problems  of women only but men as well, what should men who currently have more powers or authority in decision-making do?

An Organic farmer I interact with said she went to the Oncology ward of a hospital to explain the importance of safe healthy food to healing of the body. She said a woman recounted that her late husband had cancer. So, as a good wife, she would regularly go to the famous markets to buy fresh fruits for him to take. That is usually one of Doctors’ recommendations for  patients, no doubt.

The woman said by the time she realised that most fruits by commercial farmers sold in the markets were produced with chemicals (which gradually destroy even good health not to talk of someone with ill-health), her husband  had died.

Isn’t it worrisome that doctors and other healthcare professional don’t seem to be aware that  use of harmful substances in agricultural food production is currently  contributing immensely to ill-health and deaths?

While the healthcare industry is still trying to believe that, both males and females, that want to enjoy life in good health, barring being killed by other factors, need to shield their blood from toxicity.

It is also important for more people to continue advocating for compliance to health safety in all levels  of food production - this is the best solution. Primary production health safety which is production of fresh foodstuffs is key- so very vital for our well-beings as humans.

Meanwhile, everyone should try to shield their blood from toxicity by eliminating or at least reducing the toxins that get into their bodies:

1. Take activated charcoal after ingestion to adsorb some, if not all the toxins before they get absorbed by the blood– best is to make the activated charcoal yourselves or by well-trusted person(s). I will do a detailed report on making activated charcoal and how it works anothet time.

2. Herbs were originally intended by God to be part of our regular foods and not for medication – Genesis 1:29, 30 –  you can get herbs from trusted organic growers. To be fully sure, grow the ones you can – virtually all edible vegetables are herbs. Even the leaves and seeds of many fruit trees also contain anti-oxidants that can be used in making teas or juices or taken to detoxify the body – please find out more and consult with truly knowledgeable and sincere healthcare practitioners.

3. We already know about exercises – please note that if you regularly exercise and still have pains when exercising, it is because there are toxins in the bloodstream- the exercise will help move them faster in your body but they will still cause some pains. But taking the edible herbs will help soak up the dangerous elements to avoid situations of slumping while exercising or doung some other activities.

4. Rather than drugs to strengthen the rod of Moses, take the rind or back of organically- grown watermelon (that part usually discarded) – it can strengthen the rod of Moses more safely than Viagra  which can cause heart attack, cardiac arrest or other health problems.

5. Eggshell powder taken as organic calcium strengthen the bones and muscles for work like lifting heavy items and if needed, can strengthen the body for sexual performance for both females and males especially the rod.

6. Eating raw organic-grown tomatoes is very good for reproductive health in both male and female especially males. You see those chemically-grown tomatoes constantly eaten in Nigeria are body ‘weakeners’, in fact killers  of reproductive organs – don’t men know that healthy tomatoes are good for testicular health? So over time, what would chemically-grown tomatoes do?

In fact I dare say that most cervical, and particularly prostrate cancers are caused by these – if in doubt, do research on this and other info here...

That which the Lord God has given me to deliver to you, I have – let no man trouble me.

A COUNTRY'S FOOD SYSTEMS MUST NOT BE CONTROLLED BY FOREIGNERS

If our country has truly-forward thinking leaders, they will never allow foreigners to control their country’s food systems - if those controlling the food systems want to weaken the populace, they can use food - there are substances that added or used during production, processing or preservation of food  can cause ill-health or at least weaken the body. Even those leaders and their families won’t be spared. Can’t they see the handwriting of slavery on the wall? 

Guns were mostly used to enslave Africans  in the 18th and 19th centuries. In this 21st century, food can easily be used, so no country must allow foreigners to control her food systems. This time around, leaders who try to sell their people into slavery will also never be free. So while I understand that GMOs can be used for good and can be used for bad, our people should just not allow foreigners to control our food systems and must also stop the use of harmful substances in the production, processing and preservation of food. Let as many of our people that can farm grow  what they can as naturally as possible and multiply  the seeds. Please also try to store seeds of pure-bred crops  not needed for planting. Let’s store seeds  of pure-bred crops as though storing treasures  - because they are.

(PART THREE) HOW FERTILITY PROBLEMS ARE CAUSED BY BLOOD TOXICITY

Reading through Romans Chapter 4, verses 18 to 21 of the bible, it was clear that as he approached 100 years of age, before the birth of his son Isaac, Abraham was impotent.

But he had not always been impotent as it was said that he fathered a son – Ishmael through Hagar, the maid of his wife Sarah. That was when he was in his 80s. Sarah being 10 years younger was in her 70s. She had given up hope of ever having a child.

Rom.4.18 - [For Abraham, human reason for] hope being gone, hoped in faith that he should become the father of many nations, as he had been promised, So [numberless] shall your descendants be.
Rom.4.19 - He did not weaken in faith when he considered the [utter] impotence of his own body, which was as good as dead because he was about a hundred years old, or [when he considered] the barrenness of Sarah 's [deadened] womb.
Rom.4.20 - No unbelief or distrust made him waver (doubtingly question) concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong and was empowered by faith as he gave praise and glory to God,
Rom.4.21 - Fully satisfied and assured that God was able and mighty to keep His word and to do what He had promised.’

People of faith tend to believe Abraham at 100 years and Sarah at 90 years bearing a child was all spiritual - a total supernatural act of God, completely bypassing physical laws – Noooo!.

Though, Yessss it was indeed a miracle (a divine intervention in the physical realm) but it did not bypass the physical  - God allowed them to right what was wrong in their physical bodies.

Hence the reason it took some time between when the angel gave the prophecy and when Sarah conceived and delivered her son. 

One of the evidence that her body health was being restored was looking superbly beautiful at almost 90 years of age (see Part 2 of this series).

Genesis 25: 1-8 After Sarah died, Abraham who should be at about 137 to 140years, married another wife- Keturah and had six more children. He even lived till 175years - at least 75 more years after he was declared weak and impotent.

BIBLE PASSAGE
Gen.25.1 - Abraham took another wife, and her name was Keturah.
Gen.25.2 - And she bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah.’

PHYSICAL HEALTH VERSUS SPIRITUAL HEALTH
In our modern days or these current times, people of faith who do not understand that taking care of their physical health knowledgeably while seeking miraculous interventions from God often suffer health-wise.

Instant miraculous  manifestations of healings are possible. God in His infinite wisdom can and does that  sometimes. But we must realise that God prefers that people take good care of  their bodies with the physical  principles He has established, not only spiritual principles.

FERTILITY ISSUES INDICATORS OF SERIOUS HEALTH PROBLEMS
Fertility issues are usually indications of some health challenges for both male and/or females. A man with fertility issues may have erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation or delayed ejaculation,  low sperm count or weak spermatozoa if there is toxicity in his blood.

The way for the man to ascertain his fertility health is not actually to impregnate a woman or women to prove he is fertile – a sick man may still impregnate a woman/father a child.

Having sexual intercourse arbitrarily or with multiple partners  is also not full prove of fertility health. In fact such carelessness in having sexual intercourse can contribute to the pollution of the man’s blood as well as the pollution of the blood of the females he is having sexual intercourse with. How? That is a matter for discussion another time.

Also note that if a man  is having fertility issues due to blood toxicity, if he manages to impregnate a woman, the child could inherit some of the pollution in his blood.

The toxicity in a woman’s blood tends to show up,  manifest  or get revealed during pregnancy, child delivery or even after child birth.

But for a man, it is not always so obvious. Even when erectile dysfunction, premature or delayed or retarded ejaculation, lack of orgasms and any of such make it obvious, there may be some wrong assumptions.

It is assumed that the challenge  is due to problems in the relationship with their partners, anxiety over work related matters and/or providing for their family.

Oga and Madam, know this and know peace –Oga’s blood needs purification. If he has underlining health issues such as diabetes,  cancer, kidney problems, hypertension or has been taking medication regularly over a prolonged period for any health challenge, that is  a pointer to the erectile or other fertility issues.

Note again- producing children is not full assurance that a man does not have health challenges in that regard. Lots of food, drinks, polluted air, body care products and drugs including medicinal ones  have some elements that were never meant to be ingested by humans.

Such things getting into the body system over a prolonged period make the blood toxic. Thereby, they weaken the body’s ability to perform certain  functions that it still ought to perform. 

Since accumulation of those substances and their toxic effects take quite some time, they  usually manifest in latter years. So fertility problems which are actually indications of more serious health problems are wrongly assumed to  be normal part of aging.

Let’s be truthful – nowadays, many younger men and women  are also  experiencing some of these fertility issues which are indications of more serious health challenges. 

Some people attempt to sude-step the issue by having children as early in adulthood as possible. That way they avoid the health challenges that they expect could hinder childbearing in latter years.

But the real health problems have not been solved. The health problems usually come with a whole lot of trauma, more so for men. But people usually don't focus on the actual cause(s) because there has been misinformation for several years whether deliberately or due to ignorance.

So we live in a world where things that pollute the blood are constantly finding their way inside human bodies through what we take in or use on the body.

So what is/are  the solutions?

THE HEALING POWER OF SEEDS

Any seed that can germinate on its own in a normal soil is potentially able to overpower any virus or organism that has infected a human being  - Oluyinka Alawode

(PART TWO) HOW FERTILITY PROBLEMS ARE CAUSED BY BLOOD TOXICITY

Still x-raying the possible cause(s) of the infertility problem of Sarah, the wife of Abraham.

I have reasons to believe it was due to the heavy consumption of meat  - of any one or more of cattle or lamb, sheep or goat meat.

Ruminant meat was the staple food of nomads in those days with plant-based foods only as accompaniments – unlike the nomads of modern days that have more  options like buying different foods to eat from commercial food sellers during their journeys. 

As the cattle and other livestock grazed  over large expanses of land, they must also have ingested trace elements of toxins or inorganic substances. Ingestion of worms is not just possible but a given.

In addition, the animals  would have got stung by some insects or pests  secreting toxins into them– not all toxins can  be got rid of by cooking. In fact, cooking may even cause some toxins to be more inflamed and more toxic to the human consumers.

Sarah being the wife of the owner of all the livestock, would  have had access to as much meat as she desired and could eat. She wasn’t lazy as there is at least a passage in the bible showing she was given responsibility of cooking.

But remember there were lots of servants and she had at least a personal maid.  Apart from cooking or being in charge of such, she likely wouldn’t have had to undertake more rigorous activities.

So am I saying eat of ruminants’ meat especially beef is wrong? Noooo! But consuming meat as a staple food may be health hazardous, more so if the person is not involved in regular rigorous activities or exercises.

Also, there’s possibility of such meat being diseased which can affect the health of the regular consumers. In modern times, to address the issue of livestock meat being diseased, they are treated or vaccinated. Most of these drugs may make the animals look good and produce well in their short lifespans. But unfortunately  they contain elements  that can negatively affect the health of the human consumers.

Just a few years ago, I had the opportunity to do shopping at an Organic meat shop – they had a farm where they said confidently they reared their livestock and crops through organic means i.e. no chemical growth boosters.

Of course, their animals were reared within their farm spaces where there would be some level of control of what they ingested.

Also they probably gave their animals  natural immune boosters like turmeric, organic ginger, black seed extracts instead of industrialised vaccines or drugs. I can attest to the fact that during the period of almost two years I bought meat regularly from the shop, I didn’t detect  any negative health issues from eating such. 

But they decided to close the shop for reasons I don’t know.  I  had to shop for beef from the open markets. I often detected some distress signals in my body afterwards.

Many people are not observant of such. Not taking notice of the effects certain foods or drinks or other things used  on one’s body may  just make the person be constantly giving free passes to toxic elements into one’s blood. This can later result in health issue(s) that are untraceable  to the actual causes.

Women, even girls may  check thoroughly their menstrual blood to get an idea of what may be going on. A lady detected that during a period of eating lots of livestock meat especially their skin (ponmo) that her menstrual blood  that came afterwards was somewhat thicker, slimy  and darker red – a woman had better not conceive at such a period even if possible, as her child’s blood would likely receive a share of the toxins from the mother’s blood.

Back to Mama Sarah’s story – when  prophecy came as stated in Genesis18: 9  that she would bear a child she didn’t believe.  She said she was too old to even have pleasure  i.e. sexual intercourse. In that passage it was also said that it had seized to be with her after the manner of women – that implies menopause – no more menstrual flows. 

Sarah in her unbelief also said her husband whom she called Lord was also  too old – if a man is said to be too old to have sexual intercourse with his wife, doesn’t that imply he was no longer having erections?

Around that time Sarah was almost 90 years and Abraham almost 100. But sometime later – some months or few years, in Genesis 20, we can see how a king found a woman of almost 90years who believed she was old to be very attractive.

The king decided to make her his woman. Kings were not bound by the laws in those days so they trampled on people’s personal rights. Thankfully God intervened before the king touched her.

Even though Sarah was a  naturally beautiful woman, would a king have been attracted to a rickety-old woman? So, between the time God gave the prophecy through one of the angels that visited Abraham and the time Sarah was taken by King Abimelech,  there must have been a  significant change in Sarah’s body and also likely that of Abraham.

Most people believe it was a miracle – no doubt it was a miracle of God. But a whole lot of times God works miracles by getting people to do the right thing(s) so the miraculous bodies He has given them can work miraculously according  to His original intent.

You see the human body itself is actually a miracle that human beings thinking they are wiser than God, the Creator, are inadvertently or even wickedly destroying.

So what may have happened for the miracle to happen?  Possibly, Abraham and Sarah may have reduced the intake of their livestock meat and/or cut off whatever thing(s) making their bodies weak.

It wasn’t clearly stated whether Sarah resumed menstruation before she conceived. But her reproductive organs would  definitely have been resuscitated as her body was strengthened. Abraham also must have  started having erections again or how else would he have impregnated his wife thousands of years ago?

God had and still has the powers for instant miracle. So why wasn’t the miracle of Abraham and Sarah instant?– He could have instructed them to have the intercourse immediately - at least as soon as the angels leave? 😀

In Genesis 18:14, it is said, is anything too hard or too wonderful for the Lord? At the appointed time, when the season comes around, I will return to you and Sarah shall have borne a son.Genesis 21: 1 and 2 Sarah  got pregnant and bore a son.

Why do you think God allowed the timeline between the prophecy and the time she got pregnant?  - a major reason – to allow their bodies heal completely and their reproductive organs to be fully resuscitated rather than just doing an instant miracle. If a woman's body becomes weak or diseased after pregnancy/childbirth, her health problem(s) has just been made more evident by the fertility issue.

In order for this aged couple's  reproductive organs to be  fully resuscitated, their bodies’ health or strength also had to be restored –hence the reason Sarah was able to live for 37 more years and nurture her son to ripe adulthood. She died at 127 years - Genesis 23:1

The story then gets even more interesting  - a few years or so after Sarah died, Abraham  who was said to be too old for pleasure at almost 100years, remarried and had more children, living till about 175 years or so. How?

During the period that God gave the prophecy and the complete healing and resuscitation of the aged couple’s bodies, there were likely some things they learnt about keeping their bodies strong or healthy. 

What could that be?

GUARD PURE BRED SEEDS

No seed originally had toxins at creation - the toxins must have been introduced during the cultivation or growth of the parent crop or crops in the lineage of a toxic seed.

If you have pure-bred seeds. guard them  very well - plant as many as you can  naturally, without chemicals in unpolluted soil - share the seeds with those that will also cultivate and grow the plants naturally.

Store as many pure-bred seeds not needed now. Why? Seeds can provide solutions to many health challenges such as preventing chronic diseases. The more pure-bred the seeds, the more efficacious.

When people on earth are tired of being sick, they will  lasting natural solutions-.

Pure-bred seeds are treasures - they will be the goldmine in future healthcare service - Oluyinka Alawode

HOW FERTILITY PROBLEMS ARE CAUSED BY BLOOD TOXICITY (PART ONE)

God, the Creator in His infinite wisdom made it such that as long as it is well with the blood, it is well with the body of the person.

 It is also well with the fruit of that blood/body. That body will be able to function very well for very many years.

But isn’t the cell said to be the unit of life? In fact the mitochondria inside the cells are said  to be the powerhouse - the smallest units of life? Yes, Yes but without  the blood, they  cannot function.

It is the blood that carries oxygen from the lungs and nutrients in food including drinks to  all the cells in the body.

Let us also note that whatever gets into the body through any other means  drugs, vaccines, body care products seeping in through skin, infection or toxins on the skin, eyes, or in any body part that find way into the blood will also likely reach the cells.

This is more so if such entry into the blood are constant.

In past writings by Farm Cafe, it has been said over and over again that these toxins getting into the blood are causes of a whole lot of diseases-hypertension, stroke, kidney failures, heart diseases, diabetics, Alzheimer, arthritis. They are even indirect causes of those diseases said to be autoimmune diseases and hereditary diseases – got from parents or in one’s father or mother’s lineage.

God  is not Creator of  diseased bodies, so the disease which anyone inherited initially got into person(s) in that lineage through toxic inorganic substances. The disease(s) is then manifested by the inheritor’s unhealthy habits or mistakes.

 Unfortunately, it may be manifested through no fault of the person especially in minors by toxins in food, drink, air or synthetic elements in body care products, in drugs including vaccines.

Do we also realise that the little by little, gradual toxicity of the blood through any one or more of the different means, even if they don’t manifest as diseases are what causes most fertility problems?

It is part of the reasons that as people get older, it becomes more and more difficult  to conceive when they really want to and/or give birth through the normal pathway?

You may  want to argue that difficulty giving birth in latter years – from  40years or  even 35 years upwards for women and for men  from 60years or 70years upwards is  due to biological clock.

When we then hear of women in their 60s giving birth with men who are even much older, we conclude it’s a miracle. I believe in miracles – in a God who can suspend physical laws to bring to pass what humans think is impossible.

But do you know that most, if not all, of what we humans call miracles are actually what God  originally intended to be possible physically? I don’t want this to get too controversial so I won’t discuss on the possibility of death reversal after some hours or few days.

Let’s focus on fertility issues for both male and female. This Part 1 will  delve into fertility issues of females  and expound on it in other parts.

 Please note that  fertility problems is not just reflected in being unable to conceive and give birth, it  can also be reflected in many ways

1.      Painful menstruation

2.      Irregular menstruation in prime years

3.      Too frequent menstruation

4.       Delay in starting menstruation

5.      Too early starting of menstruation i.e. a child of under 10years

6.      Too early menopause

7.      Menopausal pains  

8.      Excessive menstrual (blood) flow

9.      Too little menstrual  (blood)

10.  Darkish menstrual blood and so on

 

Women who have had the number of children they desire, don’t bother about these . It is assumed that the only purpose of menstruation is to be able to give birth to children and afterwards unnecessary.

Hence menopause usually comes with  so much body discomforts and most women think it is normal.

 If the menstrual flow is a means the Creator designed  for females to have their bloodstream cleansed by shedding of bad blood, what would you say to that?

Have you wondered why women tend to age faster when menopause sets in? Apart from diseases or pains, one of the signs of aging are wrinkles – wrinkles is seen as part of old age but  know what? it is actually sign that there are some blockages to free-flow of blood in that body.  

Why do you think regular, impactful exercises reduce the wrinkles? The exercises can even make the body feel better, even restore good functioning of some body organs and processes. This is because exercises will ease blood  flow. But if there are considerable toxic inorganic elements in that blood, the wrinkles may reduce but not go totally- foundation powder or makeovers can only help hide the wrinkles 🤔 😉 .

 If its just about looking good – vanity, this  could have been okay but it’s not.  Things like wrinkles, joint pains, body weaknesses and fertility issues are signs that our bodies are not truly healthy.

But we have been made to believe these are normal especially if they occur at latter  years. Since they can occur when much younger,  young ladies are urged to make moves to bear children as soon as possible. Bearing children is good but that doesn’t solve the health problem. In fact, it sometimes worsen the health problems.

Recently I saw a post in which some women shared the health problems they believe that pregnancy caused them – hypertension, blindness, diabetics, cancer etc.

My heart went out to them and I wanted to respond that it is NOT pregnancy that caused them the health problems. The toxic elements that had been getting into their bloodstream did, just that pregnancy which makes heavy demand on blood makes the effects of the toxic elements that had been getting into the woman’s body to manifest fully.

It’s saddening to point out that some toxic substances may have got into the baby’s blood at conception  through the mother and father’s genes.

Hence, if a woman is having some blood-caused diseases or fertility problems especially painful menstruation, it would be wise to first deal with causes of such pains before conceiving a child. It will help her health before and after childbirth and that of the child's – let’s minimise the possibility of toxic substances or diseases being transferred to the blood of innocent children.

People would quickly say’ that is not my child’s portion’! Yes, diseases or toxins are not the portion of any child neither is it their portion to have  parent(s) who choose to be ignorant, uncaring or unwilling to do what would safeguard their child’s health.  

Truth can be very bitter but if acted on can make lives better – John.8.32 - And you will know the Truth, and the Truth will set you free.

We should also step up activism against the use of toxic substances in rhe production, preservation or processing of food and drinks particularly  water.

CASE STUDIES

Let’s x-ray the fertility journey of Abraham and Sarah in the birth of their son.

You may kick  against such- that it was totally a miracle for a 90year old woman and 100year old man to conceive and birth a child. You may also point out that it is a situation that happened thousands of years ago, so how can  it be relevant to physical  fertility issues of men and women in current times?

Refer to a statement above – that most of what we call miracles that God did are a pointer to what is possible physically in His original plans for humankind.

Just be very patient as I point out  what we can learn physically.

Starting with Sarah, in case you are not conversant with the bible, Sarah was the wife of Abraham who was a nomadic shepherd – reared lots of cattle, sheep and goats. Like modern-day nomads, they would stay  temporarily in a particular place where they can find pasture for their animals.

Afterwards, they would relocate to another place to find better pasture if the place they have been staying no longer has enough pasture.

Shepherds who have servants or workers may not always  relocate.Tthe servants in charge of taking care of the flock would  take the animals over long distances to find pasture and return after days or months.

In case you want to point out that in those days  of Abraham they didn’t plant crops with chemical fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides. In fact they didn’t do so much crop farming – a lot of the crops grew naturally.

 They didn’t take synthesized drugs or vaccines and their environs hardly got polluted - Yes, I agree.

 
So how did Sarah have the fertility issues? You may quickly say the bible said God made her barren, even Sarah herself said in Genesis 16:2 that God had restrained her from conceiving. Is that true? Nooooooo!

Am I saying the bible is not true? No! Everything in the bible is true but not everything stated is right or true.

Let us note that the Bible was written by the inspiration of men by God.  Something may be true but human beings tend to express it based on their level of understanding.

People who have attended lots of professional  trainings would likely have participated in this activity:

If there are 10 people or any number of people in a class, someone will be given a statement to whisper to the next person, this second person whispers to a third person and on and on to the last person.

This last person is then asked to say what  they heard. It is always surprising that the statement would be different from what the first person originally said to the next – just that most times, there would be one or two things that are constant. – truth is always constant but the way people express it may differ.

Even in our days, many people have fallen sick and thought God made them sick.  If they died, some people have thought God killed them. What happens most times is that they did not know or find out what actually caused the health problems.

If they are not in tune with God, He won’t tell them the cause(s) or what they need to do/stop doing. They won’t hear or understand even if He tells them directly or through people or circumstances or nudge them.

Since God doesn't make people sick or barren, He didn’t make Sarah barren. So what could have been the possible  physical cause(s) of her barrenness?

I will share a  very likely physical possibility based on the situation at that time– to be continued.....

REPLACING VERSUS HEALING DISEASED BODY PART(S)

Have we ever deeply  thought of  reasons(s) an intelligent Creator – the Almighty God did not establish production of human body parts on earth?

There have been all sorts of researches to accomplish this - mankind has not been able to create Life.

But researches are ongoing to use stem cells to grow body parts. Part of the aim is to be able to replace diseased or damaged body parts or organs of persons without donors. That will be a really superb feat if fully accomplished. 

But currently to gett a body part replacement, it will have to be taken from another human being.

- It could be from  a person who dies likely in their prime 

- It can be from someone alive who chooses to donate a body part willingly.

-  It can be a desperate person who  decide to sell their body part for money or other benefit. 

- Hopefully not but it can also be from someone kidnapped or trafficked and their body part is criminally- harvested.  

The last two possibilities should be illegal in any decent society and the authorities should take very firm stance against such with stiff penalties for those who attempt 

REPLACEMENT VERSUS HEALING/RESTORATION 

But the focus here is this – would you believe that no matter how diseased or damaged a body part is, it can be completely healed and function again?...as long as it is still attached to the body of the original owner. 

For instance, apart from Chronic Kidney failures, we may have heard also of at least a person who had a disease like Diabetes or serious pains in the hip.  

For the Diabetic person, it got so bad, a limb had to be amputated – not heard of limb replacement except with prosthetics. 

Some people have had hip replacement with artificial one due to serious pains or diseases. Some have had part of their colon, breast or some other body parts cut off due to cancer and continue life without the body part(s)

Eyes cornea, kidneys are usually replaced with someone else's. 

But the onus is on the person who allowed the condition in their body to get so bad. If it is a minor, the responsibility is on the parent(s) or guardian(s).

But what could they have done especially if the disease is hereditary? 

Note that even if people carry disease factors in their genes, if their lifestyle choices do not aggravate the disease it wouldn’t manifest. It certainly wouldn’t manifest to the point where they would need another body organ. 

So, no matter the cause of the disease, if a person  didn’t notice or didn’t bother to detect distress signals in their body till  the health situation gets too serious, that is somewhat  careless. But as long as there is life, it’s not too late to take responsibility.

One of the things to consider if sickly or diagnosed of a disease is ‘what caused it?’ or ‘what is causing it?’

By now, hope we realise no such thing as village people using remote control to do such harm? Toxic substances that get into our bodies especially into the bloodstream are the main causes of health problems.

 That is apart from obvious things such as an accident, a direct hit or gunshot. 

The impact of these would even have to cause damage internally for any serious health problem to manifest.

So for a disease or serious pains that emerge internally, just know the actual cause is external. 

As stated earlier, even if it is hereditary, the aggravators(s) got in externally. A manifested hereditary disease is a sleeping dog that a wrong lifestyle didn’t allow it lay in peace.' 

It is like ‘trouble dey sleep, yanga go wake am’, so let sleeping dogs lie.

Question to ask for any health issue: 'What is causing this or these?'

This question is a very vital part of taking responsibility for one’s health or the health of minor(s) under one’s care – are the toxic elements getting in through any one or more  of these: 

- Food,

- Drinks(including water),  

-Body care products

-Polluted environs

-Substance abuse

- medically recommended drugs including vaccines, contraceptives etc. 

Its like a Eureka (discovery) moment when you realise the actual causes. But note that relief may not be instant especially  if the toxins had been building up for a long time in one’s body. 

Its good to be aware of this so that when you go for treatment and you are presented with the option of any of your body parts being removed as the only way forward, you can decide to also explore the option of complete healing/restoration.

This would entail being ready to stop/prevent the causes and/or adopt safe ways to neutralise/eliminate the harmful substances from your body with the guidance of  sincere/knowledgeable healthcare professional(s). 

It would most importantly  entail eating and drinking what is truly healthy. A major reason the spate of diseases have gone up so high in recent times  is because even most fresh foods and water that would have been boost to natural body immunity and major contributors to the healing process have been heavily compromised.  

While those who are concerned continue advocacy on this, please take responsibility for your life, trusting in God-the Creator. Life is precious!

THE BIG QUESTION

So answer this:

'Would you choose a surgical operation to remove and perhaps also replace a part in your body if you  know that the diseased or ailing body organ can be totally healed and restored?'

REGAINING OUR NATURAL BODY VIGOUR, VITALITY

Recently I read the story of a 12year old British girl described as ‘Bionic’. 

She doesn’t feel physical pain when injured, does not feel hungry and can get by with just two hours of sleep daily.

Her mother in that story I read recounted how the girl was over-run by a vehicle such that she was under the moving vehicle for some minutes. 

Her mother was screaming, thinking her daughter would be badly injured. 

But when the vehicle stopped, the girl just got out from underneath  the vehicle, walking  steadily on her feet as though nothing happened- a situation that would have landed most persons in the emergency ward of a hospital as an accident victim critically between life and death. 

But medical experts have said the girl has developmental problems – I think they said she has one chromosome short of the normal 46.

Since she doesn’t feel hunger, her mother has to ensure the girl is made to eat regularly. The girl also has to be monitored so that something terrible physically wouldn’t happen to her - she wouldn’t know as she doesn’t feel pains. 

She doesn’t fall sick,  I wonder why it is seen as a problem. 

Another reason they see the condition as something not good is that she usually has uncontrollable emotional outbursts. 

Well, not sleeping long enough can make one cranky or grumpy. So I think they should find safe ways to get her to sleep for at least 6 hours, if possible 8 hours daily. 

She should be taught emotional control. She should also be made to follow time schedules to eat daily even if she doesn’t feel hungry. 

Apart from those  challenges of not sleeping long and not feeling hungry which can be addressed, I can’t help thinking she is  truly healthy.

I have had somewhat similar experiences  at certain times of not feeling pain when physically hurt -one of such -  I was hit hard by a motorcycle  while riding as passenger on another motorbike- okada. 

The rider coming with speed did not observe the right hand drive but moved to the left where I was riding, turned a little away as he reached the okada I was riding on so as not to hit the fellow commercial rider and then turned back and hit me with force.

 There were some pedestrians on the road and roadside traders. I heard people screaming as I was hit on my wrist/back of my right hand. 

The impact of the hit made the commercial rider whose bike I was on lose control and the bike fell on the other side.

As the bike landed on the ground, I immediately got up while the rider  struggled up to get up. 

The rider who hit me rode  away but didn’t go too far likely to watch the outcome of his dare-devil act. 

When the rider of the bike I was on got up, he asked if I was okay.  People on the roadside who had been screaming were then watching with dismay.  

The rider ran after the wicked crook-rider, asking why he hit me and made him return to the point he hit me. 

I also asked why he hit me. He was just muttering some silly things in response. 

I noticed that the bag I had slung on my right shoulder had torn widely. The bag was almost empty then because I was going for shopping. But it was a very strong and durable bag.

 As I left the scene, I noticed some people on the roadside were staring at me and  whispering to each other.

I still went ahead to the market to do the needful shopping but had to buy another bag.

I carried the items home. There were some scratches at the back of my hand but I didn't really feel pains. 

The following day, at home, I was carrying a bucket of water on the hand that was hit but not feeling pain. When I remembered the previous day accident or should I say attack, I decided to take some photos of myself as reminder.   Of course I gave the glory to God for His protection / deliverance.

Another time after reading that pawpaw trees can perform better if bent, I decided to bend the one I was growing in a drum.

 It was so tall such that plucking the leaves wasn’t within reach. Also, when it starts fruiting hopefully, it wouldn’t be easy to pluck the fruits at such height.

I decided to see if I could bend the tree by myself – I wasn’t sure I could but just wanted to see how much I could do. 

So I tied cord somewhere at the middle of the tree and started pulling on the cord with my hands. 

Within some minutes, not only did the tree bend, it broke due to the force I was exerting on it.  Fortunately, after some weeks, it started sprouting new leaves. 

I didn’t feel pains even though I had exerted  so much force. It was many weeks later I was chatting with a friend and was using my  hands to describe something  when she noticed and pointed out that my fingers especially the small fingers on both hands were bent. 

She then suggested how I could straighten them as she also had bent finger as a child after an injury.

My mind went back, trying to recollect when it  happened since I have also been using my hands in other rigorous activities.

 I then remembered it was the day I bent the pawpaw tree but as I didn’t feel pains, I glossed over it.

There have been  other times when I have had so much burst of energy and have experience similar to that Bionic.

 It is usually after detoxification with herbs or I have been able to stay off unhealthy foods and taken truly healthy foods for some days. 

It is no longer news that most of the foods and drinks sold in our markets have some level of toxicity. It will be another long story if I share full details of how  the bright red, very fresh-looking and luscious  tomatoes I bought in rhe market and used in cooking rice over the weekend almost sent me to the sick bay.

Once I start feeling serious body discomforts, I don’t panic.  I would investigate on the cause(s) and get out the toxins  out of my body system – but the feeling of having toxins in one system is not good o – it makes one feel terrible.

The discomforts will reduce as more and more of the toxins leave the body but it’s not easy doung regular activities at such times - I am still able to do some regular activities because I understand what is happening in my body.

All these have got me thinking on what it means to be truly healthy –  i.e. constantly strong and energetic. Being healthy also involves looking good- you can’t make people believe you are healthy looking emaciated or fatigued – so adequate rest also important.

My exploration into being naturally healthy started  about eight years ago when I was feeling sickly regularly. 

It was getting to the point I was thinking of informing my immediate family  that I was feeling so  very sickly.

But as a person of faith who has experienced supernatural healing at certain times, I decided to first pray. I had actually been praying, meditating, making confessions that I was healed. 

The feelings  of sickness would stop but after some days or sometimes weeks would return. 

So that prayer about 7 or 8 years ago was to know what to do – its okay to seek medical  or healthcare attention. I just wanted to know the next steps and I know God is omniscient. 

After the prayer, I just knew that I had to do away with some things – I started doing some findings and realised a lot of processed foods and drinks have toxic elements in them. 

The quantity of the toxins in each food or drink may be almost insignificant but they build up over time in the body and start causing discomforts – pains or even diseases.

Then after Year 2020/2021, I started doing some findings. I have been observing that even lots of fresh foodstuffs commercially-grown in our country also have toxic elements due to use of chemical fertilizers, pesticides and other growth boosters. 

Also, most commercially-produced livestock are given growth boosters that can affect the health of the human consumers. 

I have an educational background in agriculture and I also worked for over a decade  as an agricultural journalist. I have also delved into agricultural information services which led to  intense personal  studies on how food impacts on health. 

So I have known for quite long of these practices  in food production. But in recent times,  the need to meet increasing food demands by many commercial producers and merchants over the years, is also increasing the use and quantities of chemical growth boosters or use of harmful inorganic elements in agricultural food production, processing and preservation. 

In fact whatever is used in and on the body including medications, body care products and even environmental pollution affects the body’s functioning. So I have had to start studying on those as well. 

While it is okay, even good to get treated when sickly, being regularly  sick or needing drugs to stay healthy is not normal. The constant feelings of real, natural good health is very glorious and human beings created by God deserve this.

  

Apart from diseases,  there are some body weaknesses and loss of functions that people erroneously assume are just the results of aging – weakening eye vision, reducing physical strength or stamina, pains in the joint or arthritis, weakening memory, shaky hands, wrinkles, greying hair etc

Those are not actually signs of aging but signs that the quantities of harmful elements that distort normal body functions have increased in our  body systems over time –  pending the time there is very firm global stance on safe - natural ways to produce what is used in and on the body and anything that affects the body, we need individually, as families, as groups, as communities, as states, as a country to  find ways to be naturally strong and truly healthy.  

Detoxifying with  naturally grown and edible  (food and drink) that won’t also deposit traces of toxic or inorganic elements in our body is one of the vital ways. 

Being healthy is not only physical though, it entails spiritual, mental and emotional well-being.  

But physical health is so very important – people who are truly healthy physically are usually less grumpy – they take on needful tasks to accomplish what they want with zeal.

This weekend I really understood that physical health is also very important to spirituality. When my body was feeling weak after intake of the suspicious tomatoes, praying verbally and singing which I so much enjoy doing regularly wasn’t so easy.

Let’s take stand for good health by taking strong stand against what  affects our bodies that make us sickly
