In Praise of the Pomegranate: The Phoenician apple symbolizing health, fertility & longevity
()
About this ebook
What’s the big deal about this immortalized fruit, revered by Pharaohs, kings, poets, and common people alike? Hardly any other fruit depicted in the arts and, for the past ten years or so, has garnered more scientific interest like the pomegranate. “In Praise of the Pomegranate” can best be described somewhat as where art and science collide, in the author’s attempt to show that art is but the application of scientific explanations.
An edifying read, indeed! How this sensuously depicted fruit in the arts, otherwise known as Phoenician apple – also claimed by some biblical scholars as the metaphoric fruit Eve gave to Adam – is likewise efficacious (among other anti-oxidative properties) in:
enhancing male erectile function and female fertility
promoting healthy and enjoyable (pain-free) coition for women post-menopause
inhibiting breast cancer, prostate cancer, colon cancer, leukemia, and in preventing vascular changes (relating to blood and lymph vessels) that promote tumor growth, in ensuring longevity
A must read for one who wishes to learn how in adding this miraculous fruit to your diet you may naturally:
reverse premature aging
overcome weight issues
improve mental health
super-charge cardiovascular functions
enhance personal magnetism (attraction)
Monica Palmer
I am from a tiny, rural district named Halifax, in the parish of Manchester, Jamaica. Born January 3, 1959, I migrated to Canada March 19, 1982, and shortly after found my calling as a mind-body, health practitioner. For the past 25 years, I have been coaching my clients, on how the correct choice of foods can help limit stress on the central nervous system. Allowing for an opening an ever-broader channel for their mind to experience fully and permanently the receptions inspirations that become lasting impressions is not the only reward. The possible heightening of one’s psychic state can give birth to a magnetic personality, which mystifies and captivates all who enter this radiating circle of glow. As a full-fledged writer and inspirational speaker, I draw on years of practical experiences, which make my works ever more so compelling. But I see myself more as a modern symbolist writer – with a twist. Earlier symbolists used suggestions and invested images or objects with indirect meanings. It is my position that truths, particularly when it comes to right living, should not be concealed in mystery. I write from the understanding that words are but seeds, which are non-operative unless the reader of my words can transform them into gainful activity. It would naturally follow why gardening is where I find my bliss. Far removed from the subsistence farm on which I had to toil a child, urban farming is my creative way of enjoying urban life with a country-kind-of-feeling. To experience Earth’s beauty – the breaking through the soil of seedlings, the blossoming and maturing stages, and the recycling of the refuge of my crops as compost back into the soil – is priceless! Not to mention to be able to invigorate the nerve endings of my bare feet standing on sharp pebbles, and to look around my garden and yield myself to whatever feelings naturally arise. The buoyant, jubilant, exhilarating, and ecstatic feeling is my definition of RADIANT HEALTH. Which explains why no other pleasures can compete with, or pull me away from, writing like gardening!
