One of the best nutritional guides, and one that is over 40,000 years old and taught in African temples, states that food can be divided into two big groups. The first group contains what we call staple foods. It is composed of cereals (maize, rice, millet, wheat, etc.), vegetables (spinach, onions, tomatoes, okra, carrots, etc.), and starches (potatoes, yam, taro root, etc.). The second group contains what we call occasional foods. It is composed of animal products (red meat, white meat, fish, insects, etc.) and two groups of vegetable products: fruit (oranges, lemons, bananas, berries, pineapple, etc.) and nuts (coconut, cashew, peanut, etc.)

We must recognise that we do more than just the fasting in our pursuit of the destiny of Wsr, the God that dies and resurrects; we follow Him through that experience. We also die every night and resuscitate at dawn. Sleep is the image of death. The consciousness sleeps so that it can allow the soul to transcend the two worlds and go and educate itself close to the God Wsr about the conditions of the existence in the World of the Dead

In the end, we are the ones to remove ourselves from the dialogue between the Earth and the rest of the Universe. The question then becomes how do we keep our channels open? We do this by maintaining a pure life, following the 77 Commandments, and performing daily spiritual activities. Most importantly, we have to try to maintain a positive disposition, even when something terrible happens us.

The tetanus vaccination is just one among many that has been used as a carrier to forcefully sterilise girls and women in “developing” or economically disadvantaged countries. Other vaccines include human papillomavirus (HPV), diphtheria, cholera and others.

Souley is a mixture of plants, roots and tree bark harvested from tropical regions in Meritah, mainly the central country of Togo. Natural spices are also mixed in. This mixture is then formed into a small ball to be used as a tea. Souley is all-natural and does not contain chemicals, pesticides or preservatives. The recipe comes from the Tem tribe which has used Souley for over 3,000 years, since the time that the tribe settled in the central region of Togo.

The Dosso’s origins are associated with a master hunter named Kontron who lived in a more pure time when Dosso were forced to hunt by their intelligence only; a time before technologies which made the hunt easier or more convenient and cars that made travel much faster; a time when a hunter would leave his home and its preoccupations and put his mind on the bush; when a hunter would find himself stalking the bush, carrying just a little food in order to hunt for days, sustaining himself from what he could find or acquire.

Today we live in an unavoidable sea of influences and dynamic expressions. This can be very enriching if the human has some kind of compass transmitted to them from a Master. The least a human being can do is to express a minimum level of honesty by paying homage to one’s master or observed influences, regardless of whether the lineage is handed to them or if they have scavenged the knowledge.

The one thing that the modern culture excels at is theft. Because if you trace their knowledge back far enough, you will find that everything has been usurped from cultures that have existed for much longer. This is especially true for the knowledge found in the modern medical systems.

Spiritual healing is a very big aspect of all traditional cultures, though there may be some variations. It is impossible to separate ourselves from nature because we depend on nature for our survival. It is impossible to separate ourselves from the Divine realm, as this realm is responsible for creating everything that exists, even humanity. It is impossible to separate ourselves from our Ancestors or dead relatives because we share the same blood. Spirituality exists and the sangoma, like other traditional healers, are just servants to the calling of the Divine and Ancestral realms.

Contrary to modern medical theory, infants are bathed as soon as possible after birth to clean the residue from their time inside the mother. Once a baby has been born, they are introduced to very warm water and cleaned properly so that their recovery from the fatigue of birthing can begin and they can start acclimatizing themselves to life here on Earth.

When an individual is educated to listen to the language of their body and not completely surrender the responsibility of their health to medical institutions, there are early signs of a compromised digestive tract. Constipation, excessive gas, stomach discomfort, straining when defecating can all be early signs of too much acid in the digestive tract that can lead to corrosion of the cells of the lining of the intestines.

For over 30 years, Ankhkasta has served countless people across West Africa, the United States and Europe. Ankhkasta continues to provide solutions for people who have not had success solving their health issues either with modern medicine or other forms of alternative healing. For many people, Ankhkasta is not just an alternative, it has become their primary option for addressing their health concerns. The accuracy of health consultations by Ankhkasta healers, along with the potency of healing methods has yielded positive, if not amazing results for thousands.

So, we see there is considerably more that comes with being a Healer. Unlike being a Doctor, you are actually learning that which is necessary to preserve life. The Healer gains the technical knowledge to actually cure illness and all the aspects to maintain the balance needed for life. In this modern culture, full of disease, imbalance and excess we need to re-examine the role of Doctors and really think about what they do in regards to treating illness.

The human species is but one component of an infinite diversity. And for us, if we are honest with ourselves, the unknown is the most frightening phenomena to our consciousness. The world is clearly a battle of forces, some preservatory and some destructive; some expansive and some implosive; some ascending and some descending. Life itself is just a product of this battle.
