All humans have a deep relationship with nature that is rooted in our own biology.
We are connected to everything living because somewhere deep inside, we are wired to be so, because we are nature.
From the time we are born, human beings are drawn to nature because we are nature.
These genetic memory marks are sometimes called “instincts.”
Why do ordinary people care for and domestic and wild animals?
Why do we feel a need to surround ourselves with plants and flowers in our homes, workplace and during our leisure time? Why does a well-set dining table always have a centerpiece of flowers or plants?
When we go shop for food at the grocery store, there is a flower and plant department.
Plants, fruits and flowers are as important to us as food.
Speaking of fruits, Let's talk about the lime.
Best know for its role in key lime pie, many great food dishes and margaritas, but did you know it offers amazing healing properties as well?
While billions of dollars are spent on research for pharmaceutical drugs, the lime has been proven to cure diseases that cause millions of people to suffer each
The National Library of Medicine reports that lime could either cure or improve the healing times from a life-threatening illnesses including:
Sickle Cell Anemia (SCA):
According to the CDC, SCA afflicts about 95,000 Americans and is diagnosed in 1 in every 500,000 African-American births.
A clinical trial on lime juice was recently found to reduce painful episodes (50.0% lime juice intervention versus 92.7% control); febrile illness (46.6% lime juice intervention versus 87.3% control) and hospital admission rate (3.4% lime juice intervention versus 34.5% control) for sickle cell anemia in children.
Malaria:
Malaria is a mosquito-borne parasitic disease, which the WHO estimates causes 219 million of illness resulting in 660,000 deaths each year. A wide range of highly toxic drugs are used to treat the disease, but a recent study found that lime juice greatly increased malarial clearance when combined with standard drug therapy.
Bacterial Agents in Food:
A recent study found that the popular food known as ceviche, naturally containing pathogenic agents from fish, could be completely sanitized with lime juice. Both Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Salmonella enterica (two common causes of food poisoning) were all reduced to below detection limits through the addition of lime extract.
Disinfecting Water:
Lime has been found to enhance the disinfection of water, by both killing norovirus as well as Escherichia coli.
Lime has also been found to kill the cholera pathogen, which is believed to affect 3–5 million people and causes 100,000–130,000 deaths a year as of 2010.
And that's just a sample of the benefits of natures offerings, from Limes to Green Tea, from Bitter Melon to Moringa, or the Woolly Lambs Ear and Colloidal Silver, this is only the beginning.
