Natural isn't Always Safe

Nowadays TCM is getting popular as more and more people are aware and want to avoid the side effects from western medication.

Another news on man hospitalised after taking herb pills.

Why now and then we will see the news on the side effects and even contamination cases on TCM?

Many people has misconception on so long it's plant, it is safe.

There are however, many misconceptions about plants. although plants are natural, not all of them are safe or healthy enough to be consumed as a plant food. For example, tobacco leaves, coca leaf (the source of cocaine), hemp (the source of marijuana) and opium poppy (the source of heroin and morphine) are unsafe natural ingredients.

Plants are, therefore, available in two varieties:
i. plant foods (food grade) or food herbs that do not give harmful side effects and
ii. medicinal plants or herbs, which can bring harm when formulated or used incorrectly.

What TCM using is medicinal plants or herbs.

The most effective & safest way to achieve proper nutrition is to eat wholesome and natural plants foods. Food grade plant foods are most suitable because they can equip us with nutrients in a natural way unlike chemically extracted vitamins or tonics.

Health is our Greatest Wealth - the Dalai Lama says it best

I'm sure you will agree with me that health is our greatest wealth.

 

There is no point of getting rich if we sacrifice our health in the process.

Our body is the only thing that is with us since we are born to to the day we die, so it is essential that we take care of it!

However have you found the correct way to safeguard your health?

Over the times, I started to see more and more of my peers spending money — lots of money - fixing their health.

 

Looking for help, they invest in TCM, prescription drugs, supplements, complicated tests, scans etc.

What's more, people nowadays tend to eat meat and drink cow milk for protein, taking glucosamines, fish oil and all types of multi-vitamins for supplementing the diet.

However, has the number of people getting chronic diseases reduced? 

The answer is No. 

In fact, according to the latest statistic, by year 2050, 1 in every 3 adults will develop Type 2 diabetes. 

The main culprit that cause confusion and misconception towards nutrition are outdated nutrition practices & advertisements from the various media.

Today, in order to stay healthy, we must know that in order to have good health, we need to have a good immune system.  By nourishing our body with a balance and wholesome plant food diet we can have good health.

Be a wise consumer, choose the right foods for body nourishment. 

Luckily, we have the science of Nutritional Immunology in our hand to safeguard our body.
