The Choice is Yours: Treat the Symptoms or Treat the Cause

Unfortunately, the medical establishment and the people have been conditioned to focus on the symptoms and not the cause. One just has to view the TV advertisements: psoriasis, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, constipation, acne, insomnia, hair loss, overweight, chronic fatigue, and on and on. I can’t remember ever seeing an advertisement focusing on the cause for cancer, high blood pressure, vertigo, acne, obesity, cataracts, insomnia, fatigue, etc. Big Pharma has taken control and brainwashed the doctors and public to accept treating the symptoms as good medicine.

Caramelized Onion & Vegetable Quiche

Isn’t Quiche one of the best inventions?! A beautiful balance between buttery, flakey pastry and yet chockablock full of nutritious vegetables and high protein from the eggs. I started making this vegetable quiche as a side dish when entertaining a group of friends, serving it alongside a big tray of paprika-rubbed salmon, but then we discovered it’s a dream “leftover” dish to have for lunch the next day and actually it’s perfect on its own or with some simple balsamic-dressed salad and yoghurt. The number of times I have gone to have it for lunch and realized Jack scoffed the
