The best six doctors anywhere
And no one can deny it
Are sunshine, water, rest and air
Exercise and diet
These six will gladly you attend
If only you are willing
Your mind they’ll ease
Your will they’ll mend
And charge you not a shilling
~Anonymous author
The strategies in the preceding poem were, in the not so distant past, prescribed therapy for the sick. Many doctors were heard to order their patients to ‘drink plenty of fluids and rest in bed’.
Hippocrates, the father of medicine, was quoted to say; “Everyone has a doctor in him or her; we just have to help it in its work. The natural healing force within each one of us is the greatest force in getting well.”
Your complex body was created by God (your Creator) with many amazing abilities. Every moment of every day, without any action on your part there are hundreds of processes taking place and abilities available to you, even while you are asleep. The healthy human organism, with its complex high-tech operating system; is continually self-detecting, self-diagnosing, self-renewing, self-healing, self-repairing, self-cleaning and self-protecting. The human body has an internal pharmacy, which when functioning properly produces natural analgesic, anti-depressant, anti-anxiety, anti-stress, sleep-inducing, immune system strengthening and gastrointestinal normalizing chemicals.[1] Many of the body’s processes and abilities are automatic and are often taken for granted.
God’s ‘farmacy’, (no not pharmacy), nature’s bounty, provides an abundance of healing foods, medicinal herbs and therapeutic essential oils.
A variety of spiritual beliefs and practices, including prayer, attending religious services, meditation and faith, and faith in God (your God) – have been scientifically shown to provide healing and shorten recovery time.[2] [3]
Why then is the first stop for symptom relief often the medicine cabinet, over the counter drugs and a walk-in clinic or emergency department? Modern medicine, with its drugs and medical interventions do save lives and are a necessary recourse at times. Has society strayed too far away from ‘God given’ provisions for primary healing strategies?
Combining the body’s amazing abilities with God’s provisions, self-help therapies and tools can result in a powerful healing response. Consider God’s Medicine Cabinet as your first stop the next time your health is challenged – you will be pleasantly surprised at the possibilities. Start your cupboard, refrigerator and medicine cabinet makeover today. The healthcare savings are a bonus!

HUFF POST – Caring for Our Internal Pharmacy: The world’s best ‘pharmacy’ exists inside each and every one of us. It doesn’t require us to make a lot of complex decisions, but our ‘pharmacy’ does have some caveats for operating well.
