'Farmacy' vs Pharmacy

5/6/2016

Ages ago Hippocrates said "let food be thy medicine".  A major portion of chronic illnesses are "food born". This doc is prescribing "real food".  Diabetes, hypertension, heart disease and even cancer -- often have their roots in the inadequate nutrition of todays processed foods, fast foods, sugary drinks, salty/fatty snacks.  And on top of that, folks aren't getting the recommended 5-7 fruits plus veggies.  Time to plant our gardens and looking forward to the farmers stands.  ​See this post about Dr. Richard Bryce and his program providing Fresh Presciptions by Annamarie Sysling.
