Default The Ancient “Doctrine of Signatures” Suppressed By The Establishment

Quote:
The Doctrine of Signatures is profound ancient wisdom that is purposely being suppressed. It states that every fruit and vegetable has a certain pattern that resembles a body organ, and that this pattern acts as a signal or sign as to that fruit or vegetable’s benefit to us. Modern science confirms that the ancient “Doctrine of Signatures” is astoundingly accurate. Why does this vital knowledge remain hidden?

The healing and nourishing properties of any fruit or vegetable reflected in, and ultimately revealed by, that fruit or vegetables’ outer physical shape, form, or “signature” in relation to the human body.

Kidney Beans actually heal and help maintain kidney function—and they look exactly like human kidneys:



A Walnut looks like a little brain, a left and right hemisphere, upper cerebrums and lower cerebellums. Even the wrinkles or folds on the nut are just like the neo-cortex. We now know walnuts help develop brain function:



The cross section of a Carrot looks like the human eye. The pupil, iris and radiating lines look just like the human eye. And science now shows carrots greatly enhance blood flow to the eyes and aid in the general function of the eyes:



Celery looks just like bones. Celery specifically target bone strength. Bones are 23 percent sodium and these foods are 23 percent sodium. If you don’t have enough sodium in your diet, the body pulls it from the bones, thus making them weak. Foods like celery replenish the skeletal needs of the body:



Avocadoes target the health and function of the womb and cervix of the female—they look just like these organs. Avocadoes help women balance hormones, shed unwanted birth weight, and deter cervical cancers. It takes exactly nine months to grow an avocado from blossom to ripened fruit:




Figs are full of seeds and hang in twos when they grow. Figs increase the mobility of male sperm and increase the numbers of Sperm as well to overcome male sterility:



Slice a Mushroom in half and it resembles a human ear. Mushrooms have been found to improve hearing, as mushrooms are one of the few foods that contain vitamin D. This particular vitamin is important for healthy bones, even the tiny ones in the ear that transmit sound to the brain:



Our lungs are made up of branches of ever-smaller airways that finish up with tiny bunches of tissue called alveoli. These structures, which resemble bunches of Grapes, allow oxygen to pass from the lungs to the blood stream. A diet high in fresh fruit, such as grapes, has been shown to reduce the risk of lung cancer and emphysema. Grape seeds also contain a chemical called proanthocyanidin, which appears to reduce the severity of asthma triggered by allergy:



Ginger, commonly sold in supermarkets, often looks just like the stomach. So its interesting that one of its biggest benefits is aiding digestion. The Chinese have been using it for over 2,000 years to calm the stomach and cure nausea, while it is also a popular remedy for motion sickness:



Sweet Potatoes look like the pancreas and actually balance the glycemic index of diabetics:



Olives assist the health and function of the ovaries:



The Doctrine of Signatures may sound strange to us, but its wisdom is ancient, rediscovered in modern times. Of course, in modern America we’ve been taught by the big corporations to buy “processed foods,” rather than to buy local fresh vegetables and cook them ourselves.

Americans have no time for cooking; most are busy working and consuming en masse, according to the messages drilled in by television, radio, newspaper, the news, culture, society. The resultant omnipresence of cheap, high-calorie, nutrient-poor processed foods (or “food like substances”) in homes, schools, government institutions and food programs, and on every street corner creates default food choices that drive obesity.

These subsidized, cheap, low-quality foods are heavily marketed and consumed by our ever-widening population with an obesity rate approaching three out of four Americans. The more Americans eat, the fatter they become. And the fatter they become the more they develop heart disease, diabetes, cancer and a myriad of other chronic ailments. This is a big score for big pharma. The sicker our population becomes, the more medications are sold for high cholesterol, diabetes, high blood pressure, depression, and many other lifestyle driven diseases. In essence, big food and big pharma profits by creating a nation of sick and fat citizens.

This structure is built into the very fabric of our economy and culture. It could be called the medical, agricultural, food industrial complex. It is nothing short of sheer violence against us—the social, political, economic and environmental conditions that foster and promote the development of disease. However, by using this wisdom of the Doctrine of Signatures we can take more of a proactive role regarding our health. We are our best own doctor and dietician, we just need to believe it.

The Doctrine of Signatures was made popular in modern times by a Swiss physician, alchemist and philosopher named Paracelsus (1493-1541) who scholars consider to be the father of modern chemistry. Paracelsus noted how the qualities of plants are often reflected in their appearance. He thus theorized that the inner nature of plants may be discovered by their outer forms or “signatures.” He applied this principle to food as well as medicine, remarking that “it is not in the quantity of food but in its quality that resides the Spirit of Life”—a belief familiar to those who choose to eat organic food while also being justifiably concerned over Genetically Modified substitutes that lack the “life force,” or spirit.

The “Doctrine of Signatures” enjoyed a revival in the 1600s after Jakob Böhme (1575-1624), a master shoemaker in the small town of Görlitz, Germany, began writing on the subject. At 25 years old, he experienced a sublime mystical vision where he saw the true relationship between man and his Creator—that man is both the Creator and the Created.

The doctrine of signatures is medieval foolishness - dumb as hell.

If a plant (say) looks like a kidney, and also is helpful in maintaining kidney function, that's a memory device to remember that that plant is useful for that function - not a sign that that plant has been moulded into that shape by a higher power in order to be useful to humans.

What if that higher power happened to be humans themselves?

Belyaev suspected that as the foxes became domesticated, they too might begin to show aspects of a domestication phenotype. He was right again: Selecting which foxes to breed based solely on how well they got along with humans seemed to alter their physical appearance along with their dispositions. After only nine generations, the researchers recorded fox kits born with floppier ears. Piebald patterns appeared on their coats. By this time the foxes were already whining and wagging their tails in response to a human presence, behaviors never seen in wild foxes
Keep in mind that all the fruit and vegetables noted by Breanna are nearly indistinguishable from their wild form. As we domesticate animals to a certain set of behaviour, do we also expect certain characteristics from vegetables and plants. Consciously, and subconsciously do humans (white, typically) forge their world around them. I am not at all surprised that vegetables react to human needs physically.

That doesn't even warrant a response, but I'll take a crack at it anyway.

The wild versions of a lot of 'domesticated' plants (that is, plants that have been grown by humans for humans for generations) have the same general form as a lot of the domesticated plants.

These plants grew (and still do grow) wild before people ever thought to deliberately grow them to use them in some way, let alone for medicine. So the idea of the existence of a natural doctrine of signatures is contradicted by that.

Not to mention, it is contradicted by the majority of drugs derived from different plants and natural sources having no resemblance to any part of the human body.

... basically, it's complete nonsense.

This is an awful, awful article for a number of reasons:

1: It assumes the existence of a 'doctrine of signatures' without establishing that such a doctrine actually exists.

2: It does not define which 'Establishment' it refers to.

3: It fails to demonstrate how the 'Establishment' are suppressing the natural doctrine of signatures.

If it was produced by a 13 year old schoolkid learning composition, it would have been failed - or, in modern terms, been stamped with a big 'NS'.

I favor your interpretation as well - the pattern recognition is likely just a human mnemonic. My point was simply that sometimes the argument does often make sense as seemingly traits that weren't selected for seem to appear , like in the case with the foxes and wagging at humans.

Last march or april I raised that question, to no response.

One sees it everywhere. My theory is there are sets of pre-existing, probably divine, concepts, their forms determined by some logical necessity, that inform the created world.
