The economic downturn has affected all of us - be it the rich or the poor, the young or the old. Everyone has been affected in one way or the other by the economic slowdown. However, what has been the biggest concern for the world community is the fact that health and its treatment facilities is becoming costlier by the day. The rise in health related costs is absolutely proportional to the fall in the economic conditions. With the environment and all other entities including food and other nutrients are becoming toxic with the overbearing pollution around, minor health issues such as fatigue, anxiety, panic attacks, headaches, dizziness, stomach pain and even ear disorders. However, these may also culminate into more serious forms of diseases if left untended. These may include moderate ones such as insomnia, gastritis to more serious ones such as prostate cancer, gall bladder and duodenum infections, ovarian cysts and even permanent damage to the uterus. So why aren't the people suffering from these problems consult a physician? The answer is the sky-rocketing costs of artificial vitamins and the contemporary medicines prescribed by doctors and pharmacists.

But there is an easy way out of the whole pricey medicine muddle - fermented Organic and natural food products. Consuming natural foods and organic nutrients has been advised since ages, in all cultures around the world. In an upcoming seminar by the American Naturopathic Medical Association and the American Academy of Quantum Medicine, Dr. Paul Yanick and several other eminent researchers will lay down the basis of helping avoid the costly health treatments by simply adhering to nature's principles of consuming fresh, unadulterated, fermented organic food. It was also emphasized that fresh food, which is devoid of any toxins, does not only help you stay fit, but is also much cheaper than the canned and stored food at some of the most expensive food marts in the industry. Moreover, with food being your ultimate medicine, people can save a lot more for stability in these weak economic times. The seminar was not only attended by the common people, especially people diagnosed with the diseases and wanting a cure, but also by reputed doctors and medical professionals from the industry.

The purpose of the upcoming July 2009 seminar is not only to train the common people how to tackle the rising costs of medical facilities. It will help medical professionals identify and propagate the cause for health care seekers the severe negative effects of food borne molds and lymphatic as well as neurological toxins. The whole idea is to help maintain the age-old tradition of a 'clean and green' and fermented food diet to help prevent oneself from falling sick. There is an added advantage in consuming natural foods too - you can really satiate your taste buds with the fresh, mold-ridden food products. Some of the companies have started production of fermented synbiotic food products, which research shows can help in cleansing the lymphatic and nervous system, boosting better action from food-based nutrients to treat diseases such as lack of hormones (testosterone and progesterone etc) as well as Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Multiple Chemical Sensitivity Syndrome (MCS) etc.
