A recent article in Nature reported on a Sumatran orangutan healing himself with a known medicinal plant poultice. Fascinating as this story is, we are certainly reminded again that nature has had the answers long before our experts put on white coats and told us to trust them.
The ability to observe nature in real time is a privilege and this is where gardeners and farmers who are custodians of the land are so valuable to our society. To observe the seasons and how nature interacts with the production of food is rather remarkable. Such wisdom is priceless. Just because the technocrats have made extreme wealth by creating imitation food products in the recent history, convinced us to consume them, hooked us on the addictive property of them and made us chronically ill in the process I am not giving up hope. Real food can heal us and if we look hard enough we will remember the innate wisdom to find the answers. Anne Maher
