Have you ever noticed how similar the cross section of a carrot looks to the very part of our body that we know carrots help; the human eye?

By now most everyone has grown accustomed to hearing about the Law of Attraction. A great many folks associated with the new age movement have been teaching about it and many have adopted it as an idea that resonates.  Recently I was talking with a homeopath in my area and he was telling me about one of the tenets of homeopathy; the Law of Similars. It struck me how similar (forgive the pun) the Law of Attraction is to the Law of Similars. Both strongly contend that like attracts like.  In fact, Esther and Jerry Hicks, authors of The Law of Attraction even purport that our clichés, such as “Birds of a feather flock together,” hint at our innate understanding of the idea of like attracts like.

Organic yogurt is abundant with probiotics.

Organic yogurt is abundant with probiotics.

Given the origins of their name (Pro-Latin for “in favor of”-and biotic-Greek for “pertaining to life”) we can deduce that these organisms are advocates of vitality.  Indeed, probiotics are our body’s tiny yet tremendously powerful balance boosters. For centuries probiotics were simply consumed by way of cultured foods.  The book Nourishing Traditions provides a thorough account of how foods such as yogurt, kefir, tempeh, kimchi and  sauerkraut were eaten regularly in their respective regions and thus supplied highly helpful bacteria to their consumers.
