Tao of Forgotten Foods

HERBS -THE FORGOTTEN FOOD

If you are VEGETARIAN – YOU MUST TAKE HERBS

IF you have SEX daily – YOU MUST TAKE HERBS

The food we buy in the supermarket is the weakest food available. The

selection there is very limited if one considers the varieties of food actually

available in the world. God created leaves, branches, trunks, and roots for

our consumption, but they were completely overlooked by most people.

Called “forgotten foods” by Taoists, herbs were forgotten because they

were eliminated from our ancestors’ diets through a process of selection

which, over the course of thousands of years, rejected foods that were

unappealing to the eyes, nose, or mouth. When man learned to cultivate his

own food, he naturally chose to cultivate only those foods that appealed to

his senses. As the saying goes, we are what we eat. If we eat stronger foods,

we become stronger ourselves. If we eat better foods, our health improves.

But, if we eat weak foods, we become more vulnerable to diseases. When

we compare a magnolia tree to a bunch of celery, we will see that the tree is

much stronger than the little clump of celery. Investigating further, we will

find that the tree is of greater medicinal value than the celery. In fact, the

various properties of the magnolia tree build up the stomach tissues and

strengthen the female sexual organs. Ginseng is another example of a

strong food. It grows in cold and harsh mountainous regions, yet it can

survive for more than a thousand years. Imagine what such great vitality

could do for your body. (Please use discretion when ingesting ginseng. It

must be balanced with other herbs, since it produces strong side-effects as

well as benefits.) In sharp contrast, a carrot grows only in temperate

climates and its lifespan is about three months. If you do not unearth it

within three months, it will decay and disappear. Herbs give everlasting

strength, whereas regular foods give only temporary strength.

The foods we commonly eat and love are also eaten and loved by the

germs in our bodies. They utilize this food (organic or junk) to maintain

their lives just as we do. Fortunately, herbs do not nourish germs and

human beings equally. Human beings, exercising their will power, are able

to ingest sometimes distasteful herbs. Germs, not being blessed with will

power, are simply repelled by herbs. When human blood is permeated with

herbal nutrients, the germs in the body will starve to death, and the human

body will be naturally cleansed and purified. The cleansing and purifying

qualities that allow herbs to last for years without rotting are the greatest

benefits to be gained from herbal diets.

Herbs have many properties that modem science has yet to discover. The

Academy of Sciences currently estimates that there are approximately one

million plant varieties in the world. As yet, only an insignificant portion

has been examined by modem means of analysis.
