HEALING HERBS: Bring back the old-time remedies

Date:

Share post:

Long, long ago before the Elizabethan era, on a palace facility called Martindale’s Road stood a castle fit for queens.
Now this castle was very perplexing. It catered to persons with health challenges, it had many strange places called laboratories and was ruled by personnel who often wore white. Very important guests were often ‘dame diabetes’, ‘countess hypertension’, ‘lady fibroid’ and ‘baron & baroness stroke’. 
What was incomprehensible about this castle was that a man referred to as “Lord Cancer” began to take control of it and often acted as if he was the main controller. Often his buddies “Baroness Undertaker”, Marquess Unholistic Foods”, “Countess Fear”, “Earl Stress” and “Viscount Death” kept close vigilance of the castle because they depended heavily on each other to maintain an unnatural status in society.
However, one day news swiftly spread to silent doctor county that Lord Cancer and his cronies had taken over another unhealthy castle. The king of the healthy county quickly issued a secret decree which would prevent Lord Cancer from invading or penetrating his kingdom.
In addition, he summoned the palace nutritionist and herbalist and ordered the health knights red and white blood cells, “knight holistic foods”, “knight exercise” and the palace guards to a meeting at the round table. They quickly arrived and spoke with authority about the life cycle of Lord Cancer and how to prevent him from overtaking the castle.
Instructions were issued that Lord Cancer and his additional co-conspirators including unholistic foods, chemically invaded environments, bitterness and cell invaders were armed and dangerous and should not be approached. 
On hearing the news Lord Cancer became enraged and sought ways to secretly overtake the new castle. As days passed he recognised that the king was defeating him. Reference was made to how the omnipotent Creator saturated the earth with wisdom in Ezekiel 47:12 and Revelations 22:2. They were also shown a Powerpoint explaining microbes and parasites in the blood.
They were severely warned about constantly consuming processed, salty and sugary foods. Instead, preference focused on meals containing Barbadian fruits and vegetables.
The adults were also reminded about their childhood days and lining up on Sundays and given purgers, including castor oil and bush teas accompanied by orange. The subjects marvelled at this wisdom which they believed should be reconstituted.
As this news spread, Lord Cancer and his invading buddies were enraged. They huddled together to create a stronger strain of Lord Cancer.
Next week read about the palace defence against ‘lord cancer’.
