 African Wholistics - Medicines, Machines and Ignorance

The orthodox medical field (non-wholistic, non-natural) relies on machines and so-called technology. These modern machines, technology and gadgets are presumed to improve the human capacity to diagnose and treat the body. Similarly, it is assumed humans lack the ability to diagnose at the level of a modern machines (i.e., computers). An examination of ancient medical theory, diagnosis and treatment can help to dissolve the modern primitive medical addiction to machines.The history of medicine and medical treatments is well-defined. In fact, pre-Egyptian medical science was construed by the same black scientific intelligence that construed calculus, algebra, astronomy, architecture, physics, and ecology.

These natural wholistic scientific treatments which used no contemporary fuel driven machines, gadgets or technology are documented in the African "Ebers Papyrus" (1500 B.C.), Canon of Medicine by Avicenna and the "Medical Papyrus of Amen-Hotep" (written over 2,000 years before Hippocrates' birth). Additionally, the Chinese "Pen Tsao" (over 1,000 B.C.) further documents the scientific analysis of dis-ease states without machines. Also, "The Yellow Emperors Classic of Chinese Medicine" further substantiates diagnosis with reliance on human development of abilities.

Contemporary technology is not an advancement in medicine but a sign of ignorance. It cannot replace the human ability, capacity and potential to diagnose dis-ease and perform treatments. The medical scientists were always obligated to teach individuals. Organic (wholistic) medical scientists were devoted to teaching healthy individuals to improve physical, mental and spiritual health. The medicine man taught dis-eased individuals to recover health and improve organic health. Moreover, each individual was taught that all senses were active and passive and all dis-eases were active and passive. This was taught to all individuals along with physical duty, mental duty and spiritual duty in life.

The life (existence) of human beings was seen on the physical, mental and spiritual levels. Each of these levels of human life was sublimely analyzed. Consequently, an imbalance ( dis-ease) in any level of life represents an imbalance on the other two levels of life. The African physicans and health professionals had to first develop their own human detection sensitivity capacities on all levels before they could treat the dis-eased individual. This wholistic (organic) development eliminated the need for the use of electrical and fuel driven machines, gadgets and so-called modern technology. Physicians balanced with dis-ease detection intelligence on those levels realized that wisdom is inherent in individuals, not machines. It was wisdom manifested (physical) and unmanifested (spiritual) that guided the medicine men/women.

Medicine men were guided in treatment by the wisdom that all organs are related to each other, in that the human developed as an undifferentiated mass (egg) in which all organs and organ systems were connected together. The organs began to specialize in functions (i.e., lungs for breathing, etc.) However, they never lost their inherent connection to the whole body. In fact, every cell in the body possesses the genetic code (fingerprint of the body). So it follows that, any part of the body can be used to analyze organs. The internal organs have nerve endings in the feet, hands, head, teeth, tongue, etc. All organs in the body are connected (related) to each other, similar to the telephone systems in the world. Moreover these connections coupled with human sublime ability development and spirit wisdom allowed the physician to make precise organic diagnosis and treatment modalities. Hence, the need for machines, gadgets and technology was never necessary or developed by African medical scientists.

A fuel driven machine, gadget or technology does not possess wisdom. A machine, be it a bullet or a bomb, will kill an enfant child. Particles of metals or plastics do not possess wisdom or the power of wholistic human knowledge. Consequenty, a sophisticated computerized medical testing machine does not reflect the intelligence of men. These machines reflect the interaction of particles of metal. Besides, no machine possesses more knowledge than the maker. And, no modern fuel (electrical) driven machine possesses the wisdom and power of the unmanifested (spirituality) of humans. Accordingly, any human who relies totally on machines is reflecting an ignorance and a lack of ability for wholistic  (body, mind, and spirit) development and training.

Diet 

The so-called contemporary non-holistic European diet is based upon denatured, highly refined, processes and synthetically chemicalized non-foods. This modern stuff looks like food, tastes like food, smells like food, but amounts to chemical waste - junk food. The most damaging, criminals in the modern diet are bleached white flour and white sugar. Bleached flour is constipating because it has no fibre (non-digestible roughage). Fibre allows food to exercise and cleans the digestive organs and leaves the body at a normal rapid rate. Further, it is robbed of over 22 vitamins and minerals. White sugar has no fibre, no nutrients and increases the sugar level in the body beyond its natural level which results in nutrient deprivation in the body. Fried food are also non-digestable, constipating, and partially used by the body.

The combination of these foods with edible drugs such as preservatives, additives and dyes result in behaviour control. It is common knowledge  that chemical (drugs, aspirin, depressants, amphetamines) control behavior and the eating of these chemicals indirectly causes behavior change and contribute to robotized nutritional slavery. Historically, coprolite (fossil food and feces) studies reveal a natural diet in Africans. The scientific analysis of coprolites verifies that Africans ate whole foods, bee pollen, herbs, nuts, raw vegetables, and some cooked foods of a vast variety. Ancient fossilized African foods in no way resemble modern foods. Moreover, eating this modern diet is against life and against African wisdom when applied to wholistic medicine, health and diets.

African Empires, civilizations, music, art, philosophy, science, medicine and culture were built on wholistic foods and medicine. Blacks who eat a modern diet are being oppressed and enslaved by whites through their stomachs. This dietary enslavement results in dis-eases, constipation and bodily destruction. Eating this modern junk food (chemical waste) results in the abandonment  of Black acculturated diet and a march away from African culture. Furthermore, any social cry of lack Liberation by a nation of constipated Blacks is a cultural joke. Blacks must revolutionize their diets, Africanize European wholistic health treatments and reclaim their stomach. There are no people who are free if they are controlled by another people's foods. In ancient Africa, diet as well as all other activities, were wholistic  (including psychic and spiritual energies).

African wholistics is still a part of Black culture. Wholism in Black culture is based upon "concept." Concept is the inclusion of every part of the picture. For example, Black "concept" thinking (whole picture or story) when applied to health, as well as language, is evident. Blacks use the word "bad" and it has many meanings based upon the particular story (concept) in which it is used. "Bad" can mean fine, excellent, expensive, intelligent, sex and terrible. it takes its meaning from the context of the whole picture (story) However, European cultures' health, as well as language, is analytical (meaning divide, fragment, isolate). Subsequently, bad means bad and the further conjugation (i.e., bad, baddest), of the word are all that are considered).

European wholistics is not inherently concept-oriented. it is fragmented. Subsequently, it can analyze the nutritional worth of herbs and foods, by not the psychic and spiritual use of herbs. Furthermore, anything that cannot be done in a so-called scientific laboratory (analysis) does not exist. Often when Euro-centric scientists mention African wholistic herbal use (a science of herbs over 10,000 years old), it is negatively called voodoo, witchcraft, mysticism or cultural ignorance. This is European cultural bias and racism. Actually, African wholistic (Afro-centric) health, herbal medicine and food utilizes the total energies of the plants rather than the partial energies (nutrients). So it followed that a whole person was treated by a whole plant. The primary differences between European and African wholistic healthis in the concept and analytical (fragmentation) thinking.

African wholism never divided or fragmented a plant to understand its personality. Plant personalities are very specific properties associated with a particular plant. Notwithstanding, a " plant personality" causes it to heat or cool a particular part of the body or organ. It also affects the speed or slowness of its use in the body. Also, attention has to be given to its life cycle, the time of day it is picked, and the day of week it is prepared. Aside from these wholistic factors, the personality of the disease has to be given attention. Primarily because a disease represents a physical, mental and spiritual disturbance.

Subsequently, the wholistic view of the plant , as well as the person taking the herb, are factors. Plant personality dictated the choice of plant (herb) to use in African wholistic dis-ease treatment, because dividing a herb destroys understanding. It is like having two blind people describe an elephant - the one at the tail says the elephant is skinny, and the one at the foot describes the elephant as tall with a shell (toenails). Accordingly, dividing a herb not only destroys it, but it also destroys the effects of the characteristics (plant personality).

The choice is simple Blacks who accept another culture's definition of health, medicine and food are enslaved by that culture via their stomachs. These nutritional slaves can be seen smoking tobacco and marijuana cigarettes ( a non food which destroys the oxygenation of blood, produces poor quality sperm) using synthetic drugs, sodas (a synthetic chemicalized non-food), eating white sugar products (1.e., candies, pastries-which produce low and high blood sugar and sugar addiction), bleached white flour(produces a vitamin deficiency and cancer).drinking alcohol (destroys the brain cells eating denatured fast foods, and many other non-wholistic foods.

So it follows that these nutritional Uncle Toms and dietary slaves do have European sexual practices (having sex outside the natural mating season). The end result of this enslavement produces slaves who eat like Europeans and have sexual relations like Europeans. These slaves by African wholistic definition are Europeanized Blacks. The "overlooked revolution" or Africanization of lack health (Afro-centric health) can no longer be overlooked.

Medicine

European orthodox medicine  - use of synthetic drugs and surgery - is organized to treat symptoms. African medicine was organized wholistically to treat the physical, mental and spiritual causes of disease. For, instance, the body tries to maintain  balance - homeostatis (which means a balanced state). Whenever the body is overloaded (biochemically imbalanced), it tries to get rid of the toxic (imbalanced) state. It uses urine and bowel movements to keep it free of toxics. Further, when these two fail, it uses the skin (bumps, acne, blackheads, herpes, rashes, measles, smallpox, etc.) to rid itself of toxins.

If this fails the body uses the lungs and nasal cavities to get rid of toxins (sinuses, running nose, bronchitis, catarrh). In addition, the body uses a warning signal such as a headache to notify you of toxic state. In African wholistic medicine, the cause of a toxic state would be treated through herbs and a cleansing diet. European medicine treats the symptoms with aspirin, cold suppressants, antihistamines, cough syrups and skin creams.

Consequently, the body remains toxic and fertile for another dis-ease condition. There are four factors  which are used to expoit Blacks' health, body, mind and spirit.

The Overlooked Revolution

There is an overlooked revolution in Black worldwide culture. Socially, Black people have cried for a revlution for freedom, justice, seld-identity, self-destiny, equality and the reaffirmation of African medical treatment concepts. Today Blacks are totally enslaved by another culture's  (European)  diet and medical code They have become a Black Nation of Nutritional Uncle Toms and heve been denied the human right to practice their Culture's medicine (1.e... denied insurance coverage for herb and folk medicine).

Traditionally, the Africanization of European culture has occured in Black culture. For example. Africanization of English has resulted in Negro Dialect. Africanized European music resulted in jazz. Africanized religious music resulted in Gospel, the Africanization of waltz resulted in the jitterbug and the impact of this African thrust has caused Black (African) Studies in colleges. Also, the reclaiming of African clothes and garments, hairstyles (cornrows), languages, names, and history have demonstrated the extent of the social revolution. Yet one major step has been overlooked in this process: the reclaiming of African herbal medicine and wholistic natural foods diet and lifestyle.

Wholistic thinking is the key to understanding European cultural bias and white racism as applied to diet and medicine. Wholism means that everything (i.e., air, water, fire, earth, electricity, colors, metal) has a form (physical body), psychic, and spirit energy state. this wholistic concept was a part of African cultures - cultures that existed before the Sahara Lake became the Sahara Desert.The Sahra Lake civilizations and pre-Egypt, pre-Mail, pre-Shanghai, pre-Timbuctu societies are hidden in ancient religious writing and never included in African studies. In any case, European cultural bias and racism contaminate all medical and dietary writings. In fact, all Chinese, Japanese, and Hindu cultures and their forms of yoga, meditation, exercise, diagnosis, treatments are biased in that they accentuate their own cultural frame  of reference and disregard the African frame reference. African civilization  (frame reference) was built on a distinct approach to natural foods, wholistic diets, and herbal medicine.

If Blacks accept European wholistic health whitewash, they are saying that their ancestors were ignorant. How ca any Black say that Africa culture which produced  calculus, psychology, bureaucracy, biology, medicine, astronomy, algebra, architecture, alchemy and anatomy is ignorant of the importance of a distinct wholistic diet and medicine form? There are too many examples to refute this ignorance. The medical writings of Imhotep (Egyptian God of Medicine) are the oldest medical documents written. Imhotep's books were stolen from Africa and are presently at the Karl Marx University in Liepzig Germany. He wrote over 10 volumes on holistic treatments, diets, and foods over 2000 years before Mr. Hippocrates  (European father of medicine) was born. In addition, part of Imhotep's principles appear in The Canon of Medicine- medical books written by a Muslim named Avicenna who was also black.

He and another Muslim Black named Rhazes influenced European medicine. In fact, Rhazes wrote about a hundred medical books which utilized natural foods, herbal remedies, and diets. His books were used extensively by all major European medical schools in the 15th and 16th centuries. Of course, the afore-mentioned works are distorted and contaminated by the cultural and racial biases of the European translators. Nonetheless, the African Wholistic natural foods and herbal concepts clearly in their works.  

Europeans culturally distorted  all sciences by fragmentation, or so-called analytical concept, which is based on separation, in other words they separated the mind, the body, and the spirit. Consequently, Europeans treat the mind in a psychiatric clinic, the spirit in a church, and the body in a hospital, While African science includes the body, mind and spirit as a whole-Wholistically. In fact, European science the spirit's affect on the body, mind, diet, or herbal science. Subsequently, Blacks cannot adopt European or any alien culture's diet and health practices  without first Africanizing it.

Africanization of alien (non-African) cultures means placing the intelligence of the spirit, mind, and body as the foundation. This should be done because other cultures establish and maintain their sciences to meet heir social needs. Similarly, wholistic foods or medicine written by a Chinese, Japanese or the commander of the Nazi party is unacceptable to Black folks. There is not one institution  (science, mathematics, physics, chemistry) in European culture which has not become wet from soaking in 3'000 years of white racism. So it follows that European wholistic health and medicine has been stained by racism. Many obvious facts point to the need to abandon European wholism other than the racism involved.

Blacks have specific nutritional and dietary needs. These nutritional needs arise because Blacks have specific bodily differences as compared to other races and cultures. For example, over 70% of Black people (worldwide) cannot digest cattle milk. In addition, the intestinal florae (bacteria, virus, fungus and yeast) that naturally live in Black people's intestines are unique to Blacks. Subsequently, Blacks assimilate food in the intestines differently. Also, despite centuries of living in countries outside of Africa, their intestinal florae are the same as it was in their ancestors, stomachs, 2,000 years ago in Africa. Melanin (black color pigment) is obviously most abundant in Blacks. This melanin aids in protecting Blacks from the ultraviolet rays of the sun. It also increases the speed of nerve and brain messages which are transmitted between the left and right hemispheres of the brain and all nerve signals transmitted throughout the bodily nerve network.

The Black woman's vagina is longer and the minor lips of the vagina are larger than women of other races. This means that the Black woman's birth channel is more efficient and sealed tighter. Black people's blood crystalizes differently from caucasians' blood. These are some of the many reasons why Blacks have a unique nutritional, medical and dietary need.
