Rise in Use of Natural Products
• Natural and organic food products and “Alterna+ve” Medicines are one of the fastest growing industries today • People use natural products even if some of them are labeled with “no approved therapeu+c claims”.
• People trust tes+monies of friends about healing even if it is not recommended by ‘conven+onal’ scien+sts and doctors.
• Many are switching to natural, raw and organic • Fight for banning of GMOs or labeling
CRSF Principles to Live by:
Our Creator is the best! Man cannot improve on nature. Consume as close to natural as possible.
• Organic • Natural not synthe+c, not modified • Whole foods • Local • Seasonal • Raw foods • Cultural heritage foods
