ReJuve

tal that as family we look after each other. In these times many unique things kept families together, thriving and making strides into the future. I can clearly remember having “good health and taking care of yourself,” was always cautioned to us. We were to remember to brush our teeth before and after we sleep, to shower daily and to be active, all the things a good mom tells her boys. We were taught how to clean up before and after ourselves and to take care. Tradition was that we look to the elders and the elders looked after us. Families kept close and taught each other, as we grew strong together, we were to study hard and be the best, always try and never quit. We grew older and started being more in the world, some of us started working and some of us were still in school but we started to understand clearly, life was about comfort. It was about the idea that if you could comfortably afford the things you thought you needed in your life then you lived. The chase for comfort has led to the division of many communities and families, it was easier to achieve on your own in your own space and time so communities grew apart. Many family traditions having been lost due to technology and comfort that increases everyday forced us to adapt new ways, easy and less thoughtful reasons are our excuses to live this way. I don’t mean to sound that way about the advancement in tech and comfort, I truly appreciate the strides we continue to make. Long time traditions that brought us here are traded in a snap. Mostly not thought out well but our ancestors lived long, healthy and fruitful lives. Comfort has robbed us of the knowledge some of us still possess in healing ourselves, we are oblivious to the dangers we face until it faces us. Don’t get me wrong, it is in us to naturally want better, to make life easier and to create the perfect moments of our dreams around us, being most comfortable explains this best to us. Too much comfort erodes health and we find that with it, one substitute’s life. We live in a time now when everything is fast but not fresh, we get it cheap, so half natural, we decide we’ll make it, so then not organic. These trends have been the doom of man we now live until when? Until our same creations dictate our end. I started paying more attention to health 6 ½ years ago when cancer slashed the cords of our family, taking a beautiful aunt who was a daughter, sister and mother. The reality still haunts today when you realize how unprepared we are, being so comfortable. As kids in Belize, many of the older generations will remember the days of old when it was time to take a break from living with all the junk and detox our bodies. My Grandparents and my mom made sure this was regular, at least every few months you were reminded that this was to take care of your body so you can live healthy. Living healthy was worth so much more back then, now only comfort matters. We need to find the strength in us to want to heal ourselves, to live whole healthy lives. The World has everything we need in spite of all the fake and rushed stuff that’s offered, the artificial thing. There’s rich, natural, organic life in foods waiting to be consumed by us. I’ve dreamed of a life free of disease for all my family and friends, a life that’s rich and radiant at its core. I grew up being more holistic, being one and of everything. We learned a lot about nature and of how much we are of it. I developed a special love for being in nature so much that I can totally feel a sense of healing in all my visits, every time. I was once a very critical patient to Asthma. I remember being attacked daily, sometimes 2 to 3 times in a day. As a child between the ages of 4 to 6 I remember the looks on my mom’s face, trying to let air in my lungs so I could breathe. She cried, the tears in the night staying up with me trying to put me to sleep, the hopeless looks for years. Until one day. After things got really serious with my asthma and the doctors couldn’t keep helping but provide inhalers or pumps that weren’t working, my asthma would wage its final attack. It was a morning that my brothers and I were playing in the house when I stopped breathing. Mom was asleep in the room when one of my brothers went to wake her with the news. I remember the sun being too bright and I was faced up with it directly overhead and shinning down, my chest was hurting and I was only getting the last bit of air from my suffocating lungs. I was suspended in the arms off two of my brothers and my head was being supported by my mom and positioned over a steaming metal pan. I remember seeing leaves and roots and twigs in the pan of what seemed as water, I was made to inhale the steam coming from it. A lady came and poured warmer, less steaming liquid with very strong herbs and what I recognize as a minty scent over my head a few times. To this day I cannot tell you exactly what or how but I haven’t had an attack since, this is almost 30 years now. We’ve lost touch with the natural world and we desperately need to get back. Mother Nature provides all we need and we need to take advantage of the opportunity of a better life by treating our bodies better, naturally and organically. My Family has suffered another lost to Cancer these chronic diseases are unplanned and relentless. We can never know when anymore, and by then the fight has been staged. She was a beautiful cousin, a mother and daughter, sister and friend. As bad as those losses are, we do give thanks for a triumphing victory we did have earlier in the year. One of a complete fight and full recovery over a deadly stage 4-colon cancer that was 90% obstructed. My Uncle took a steep uphill battle when he found out, we prayed and braced for the worst. I watched him go from what we nicknamed him “the beast” to no life and frail. He went from cutting through farms and building homes, driving all types of buses and trucks, booking tours and creating a life for himself and families all over Belize, his massive role in building the largest orphanage in the country to just sitting and wondering what next as his frame grew week and his hopes fail. The Chemo drained him, both physically and mentally. I could see him grow weak, the stress it caused the entire family is one that could break anyone. We all thought “not again”. This was the point that we had to place our hope back to the roots. For years my aunt Leonie has preached of living a natural, God fearing life, one pleasing and right. For years she has lead mostly a natural lifestyle, she’s God fearing and exemplary, a life worth living. It was through her efforts, the love of God in her heart and natural, organic foods that we were able to stand up to such a chronic, severe degenerative disease. We had an amazing breakthrough with the uses of natural, organic foods, raw vegetables and fruits pressed to release the life healing needed to battle in such fight. We relied on natural knowledge passed to us in the pass, along with some new breakthroughs that’s been tested and proven in the natural world. After a few months of strict natural juicing as full meals throughout the day we started noticing his spirit was the first thing that started coming back, life was being pumped back into him. He regained his strength, his focus and purpose to live. It was for the first time, fresh air in over a year. With this the dream of Re-juve was born. I have always been in touch with the healing hand of nature, I know of the tremendous, natural and healing benefits it possesses.
