Go Herbal for a Good Cause

Did you know that around 40% of the global economy market is based almost entirely on biological processes and products?  Take countries like Africa and Asia – two communities that make up a very high percentage of the total number of people in the world.  In many cases, their survival and that of their children relies almost entirely on biomaterials. Eight out of ten people now turn to herbalists and to medicinal plants for their health protection.

WHO and UNICEF

Some time back, the World Health Organization launched a Health for All Program, a program that I heartily backed.  The program pushed for the integration of traditional and alternative forms of healing to be accepted as part of the health care system in developing countries.

A high percentage of the inhabitants of these countries, including the children, rely very heavily on plants for their healthcare. They have few doctors and their hospitals leave much to be desired. In Ghana, for example, there is 1 doctor for around 400 people. Compare that to your local practice.

Because a large percentage of drug products in the developed world are derived from these plants, in theory, it should put money in the pockets of these who grow them. In some cases it does, in others it doesn’t.

The Impact of New Healthcare Proposals

Because of the significance of these plants and herbs in developing countries, both UNICEF and WHO advocated that they must be used as part of the healthcare system and that they would not make any changes that would impact the health of the country’s people.

Herbal medicine has a place in history despite the fact that many shun it today.  Herbs have long been used to treat ailments and diseases and as a protection against contracting certain diseases.  This is why I fully advocate the use of them – not only are you keeping your body and mind healthier than ever before, you are also helping those in poorer countries to survive.

Because of the work that these organizations do, especially in this field, I take it upon myself to donate, to several of their causes, a percentage of my earnings every single month. You too can help yourself and others – change your lifestyle and give other people the head start they need and deserve in life.
