This ad is a lot less dramatic that ComAd7 and ComAd09. But it still focuses on the fact that optimal system homeostasis when it comes to human hardware [that is, “optimal health”] is entirely dependent on the quality of the components and of the input. In other words, we are what we eat, ingest and breathe. And that imbalances such as all the “modern” degenerative diseases such as cancer, stroke and cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, immune system dysfunctions, etc, are always directly or indirectly function of the way we eat, of our diet.
Most people know that every seven years, absolutely every part of our bodies has been changed at the molecular and atomic level – we are truly brand new. This, of course, is a continuous and on-going process process of equilibrium maintenance and self-repair that ends only with death. But what very few seem to realize is what this means in practice.
What this means in practice is that there is nothing more important than providing our system with quality components and input: Eating right, and the right things. Otherwise, sooner or later, we are going to pay for what we do, and degenerative or chronic diseases are the currencies our body uses to tell us that what we eat is less than optimal.
To reverse these imbalances, we need on-going access to unadulterated, organic, minimally processed or ideally completely non-processed (that is, RAW) foods and beverages that are attuned to the needs of our body. For this, we need access to our own “potager” or food garden, or at least a local community garden or a CSA [Community-Supported Agriculture] project.
A health-oriented ad like this one might actually help awaken someone who is sick, or has some friends or family members who are ill, and make them aware that most illnesses are reversible, particularly “modern” degenerative illnesses arising from conventional adulterated foods and environmental pollution and the SAD (Standard American Diet”) way of eating.

GARDENING AS A REMEDY TO DISEASE? Learn the facts!
It might sound strange to think of gardening that way, but actually, it is proven that gardening the right way is one of the most powerful antidote to disease there is. Both a preventative and a curative. We are not talking about growing roses or such, of course, but about organic and sustainable vegetable gardening - what in old times was called a "potager". And actually *eating* these vegetables...
This seemingly novel concept is actually based on impeccable peer-reviewed science. In fact, it's based on the most extensive (20 years-long) study of human nutrition ever made, under the auspices of the University of Oxford, Cornell University and a division of the the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Anyone who ignore the findings of that study does so at their own peril, and will almost certainly pay for their ignorance in form of encounters with one or several of the diseases that kill us.
What this study proves is that the way we eat is completely correlated with the state of our health. That eating the Standard American diet leads to cancer, strokes and cardiovascular diseases, and all sorts or degenerative and chronic diseases. The good news being that most is not all these diseases are actually reversible ... IF we change the way we eat. And that fresh, locally produced vegetables along with a bit of fruit go a long way in the right direction.
In other words, creating and maintaining your own garden might save your life, or at least, significantly improve the length and quality of it.
If you send us an email, we will reply with material that will allow you to explore the facts about diet and nutrition exemplified in this study, and your options when it comes to use gardening to change your diet. We have nothing to sell, we are simply a grass-root not-for-profit informal group of people dedicated to Research in Health through Organic and Sustainable Gardening and Farming.
