Seberapa Perlu Makanan Organic?

Kalau ditanya seberapa perlu, sekarang ini saya akan menjawab perlu sekali. Di tengah industri pangan yang makin mengabaikan faktor kesehatan jangka panjang konsumennya, makanan alami seperti jaman dinosaurus nampaknya akan kembali menjadi kebutuhan fitrah manusia.

Untuk itu PBB sejak tahun 1999 sudah mulai kick off campaign Go Organic 2010. Karena bahan pangan organic tidak semata menyangkut kebutuhan manusia saja, tetapi juga merupakan kebutuhan bumi sebagai lahan tumbuhnya. Bahan kimia pada pertanian memberikan sumbangan yang sangat besar terhadap proses global warming.

Industri pertanian saat ini yang dengan dalih kecukupan pangan menjadi semakin mengabaikan kebutuhan bumi untuk diperhatikan dan dilestarikan. Penggunaan pupuk kimia dan pestisida semakin memandulkan kemampuan tanah untuk memberikan kemampuan terbaiknya menghasilkan tanaman yang bernilai gizi tinggi, karena bahan2 kimia tadi bersifat merusak unsur hara tanah.

Akibatnya setiap tanaman (beras, sayur, buah, dll) yang kita konsumsi selalu saja memberi kita bonus bahan kimia dan ikut masuk dalam pencernaan kita. Penumpukan bahan kimia yang terjadi bertahun2 sepanjang umur kita akan makin melemahkan fungsi organ.

Allah SWT menciptakan manusia lengkap dengan mesin super canggih. Tapi kecanggihan mesin (organ) itu bisa saja menjadi lemah karena ulah dan ketidaktahuan manusianya sendiri.

Karena itu sekarang ini marak yang namanya penyakit2 akibat pola makan dan gaya hidup yang kurang sehat. Sebut saja misalnya: Kolesterol, diabetes melitus, liver, kanker, hipertensi, jantung koroner, stroke, dll.

Semua penyakit di atas tidak menular, tapi akan menular secara turunan jika orang tua menurunkan pla makan dan kebiasaan gaya hidup yang salah itu kepada anak2nya.

Mengenai masih mahalnya bahan pangan organik hal ini bisa dipahami karena lamanya masa tanam/produksi membuat pangan organik kurang memiliki daya saing secara ekonomi dengan bahan pangan hasil penanaman konvensional.

Mengenai istilah penanaman konvensional ini juga terjadi salah kaprah. Sejatinya istilah penanaman konvensional harusnya melekat pada penanaman organik, sedangkan penanaman masa kini dengan aneka bahan kimia tambahan tidak berhak menyandang predikat tsb. Harusnya pemerintah dengan tegas menggolongkan penanaman berbahan kimia tersebut dengan penanaman GMO (genetically modified organism).

Tapi percayalah, manfaat bahan pangan organic jauh lebih baik dibanding yang sekarang kita konsumsi. Karena organik selain mempunyai nilai nutrisi yang tinggi juga berfungsi untuk detoksifikasi dan regenerasi sel yang tentunya tidak dimiliki oleh bahan pangan biasa.

HEALING CRISIS

When the body has enough energy to deal with the accumulated problems, toxins and wastes in the body, it will take steps to eliminate them (first by detoxification followed by rebuilding). And these steps manifest themselves as if the body’s condition is getting worse, but it’s a blessing in disguise, so don’t quit…

Healing crisis occurs when the body tries to eliminate toxins at a faster rate than they can be properly disposed of. The more toxic one’s bodily systems are, the more severe the detoxification, or healing crisis. It is characterized by a temporary increase in symptoms during the cleansing or detox process which may be mild or severe. You may feel worse and therefore conclude that the treatment is not working. But these reactions are instead signs that the treatment is working and that your body is going through the process of cleaning itself of impurities, toxins and imbalances.

Such reactions are temporary and can occur immediately — or within several days, or even several weeks, of a detox.

Symptoms usually pass within 1-3 days, but on rare occasions can last several weeks. If you are suffering from a major illness, the symptoms you experience during the healing crisis may be identical to the disease itself.

Sometimes discomfort during the healing crisis is of greater intensity than when you were developing the chronic disease. This may explain why there may be a brief flare-up in one’s condition. Often the crisis will come after you feel your very best.

Most people feel somewhat ill during the first few days of a cleanse because it is at that point that your body dumps toxins into the blood stream for elimination. With a more serious condition there may be many small crises to go through before the final one is possible. In any case, a cleansing & purifying process is underway, and stored wastes are in a free-flowing state.

Cause:

The healing crisis is the result of every body-system, in concert, working to eliminate waste products through all elimination channels and set the stage for regeneration. The end result: old tissues are replaced with new.

When any treatment or cleansing program causes a large scale die-off of bacteria, a significant amount of endotoxins (toxins within the bacteria itself) are released into the body. The more bacteria present, and the stronger their endotoxins, the stronger the cleansing reaction. When any treatment or detox causes the organs of the body (particularly the liver, which is a storehouse of drug and poison residues) to release their stored poisons and toxins, a cleansing reaction may occur.

Any program, such as fasting, which causes a rapid breakdown of fat cells (which are a storehouse for toxins), can cause a healing crisis as toxins previously lodged in the fat cells are released into the blood stream.

Symptoms:

The healing crisis will usually bring about past conditions in whatever order the body is capable of handling at that time. People often forget the diseases or injuries they have had in the past, but are usually reminded during the crisis. There are a wide variety of reactions that may manifest during a healing crisis, the most common are:

* Aches, Pains
* Anxiety
* Arthritic flair up
* Cough, cold or flu-like symptoms
* Constipation
* Cramps
* Diarrhea
* Drop in blood pressure
* Extreme fatigue and/or its opposite, restlessness
* Fever (usually low grade) and/or chills
* Frequent urination and/or urinary tract discharges
* Headache (believed to be caused by buildup of toxins in the blood)
* Increased joint or muscle pain
* Insomnia
* Mood swings
* Nausea
* New phobias develop
* Sinus congestion
* Skin eruptions, including: boils, hives, and rashes.
* Strong emotions: anger, despair, sadness, fear, etc.
* Suppressed memories arise

Easing Your Way Through the Healing Crisis:

* Water?Drink plenty of fresh water (especially water), juices, and herbal teas to flush the body of toxins. Some professionals recommend distilled water as the best. Drink from 2 to 4 quarts (liters) per day. This will help flush the toxins out of your system and speed along the detoxification.
* Rest?If you are feeling fatigued, or sleepy, your body is talking to you, and telling you to rest. Be kind to yourself, and get the rest that you need.
* Avoid Constipation?Symptoms frequently disappear immediately after a good bowel movement, use dietary fiber supplement or use an enema to provide relief.
* Relaxation: For other symptoms, meditation, EFT, acupuncture or a good massage might be helpful to speed up the healing process, and reduce the discomfort.
* Exercise Lightly: yoga, deep breathing, walking
* Sea Salt Foot Bath: fill a pail (about the height from you feet to your kneels) of warm water (about 38 degrees Celsius), dissolve one bowl of sea salt or Himalaya Crystal Salt (don’t use table salt). Place both feet into the pail (water level should be up the kneels) and soak for 30 minutes. Do it everyday for 2 weeks followed by once in 2~3 days.
* Reduce Dosage: On rare occasions, a reduction of the dosage or temporary cessation may be required.

Important: Always ensure your health by having a thorough medical check up, don’t assume that if you have any of the above symptoms that you are in a healing crisis: you may not be in a healing process, you may have a medical health problem.

You can investigate about everything yourself, but before you start with a treatment, a cleansing, fasting or whatever, you should consult a health professional.

Aneka Testimoni

Berikut ini adalah foto testimoni beberapa orang yang telah mengkonsumsi Melilea Greenfield Organic:

Naturopathy

Menurut Wikipedia yang saya terjemahkan secara bebas pada hari ini, Minggu, 4 Mei 2008, pkl 15.44 wib:

Pengobatan Naturopati adalah salah satu metode pengobatan alternatif yang menekankan pada kemampuan

tubuh untuk menyembuhkan diri sendiri yang telah lama diyakini mampu untuk dilakukan.

Beberapa metode Naturopati di antaranya adalah dengan melalui puasa, akupuntur, cuci usus,  chiropractic, diet, olahraga, terapi herbal, terapi air, terapi aromatik, dll.

Naturopati lebih memilih untuk tidak menggunakan tindakan operasi dan penggunaan obat-obatan kimiawi. Sebagai gantinya, umumnya Naturopati lebih menggunakan cara-cara alamiah misalnya penggunaan bahan-bahan alami (herbal) dan jenis-jenis makanan tertentu.  Umumnya, sebelum treatment dilakukan serangkaian tes misalnya tes darah, dll untuk menunjang diagnosa.
