What is a Farmacist in the 21st Century?

A Farmacist is a modern day sage.  A Farmacist is a person filled with wisdom and knowledge and intuition in the art, science and method of health.  If you want to know about sickness, disease and death, study those things.  To understand life, vitality and health, study those things.  The FDR (Farmacist Desk Reference) is a study of the latter.  A Farmacist understands that ascension and clarity of human knowledge through time comes as an idea, or thesis.  That this thesis is almost always met along the way with an opposing view or idea, its anti-thesis, then what happens is that over time, the best parts of each (thesis and antithesis) tend to join together or combine into something new: a syn-thesis.  In all of this the synthesis becomes the new thesis.  Then it starts all over again.

It's time, not just for a synthesis of alchemy and chemistry, but it's time for an anti-thesis!  We need to stop raging against disease!  The new antithesis is the idea of embracing the principles of life and of health in the brilliant complexities of nature, disguised for us and presented to us as "simplicities".

May the FDR lead you gently into a bloodless, non-violent revolution of thought, deed, passion and magnified health.  May you stand as a twenty-first century Farmacist, a peaceful but firm iconoclast to "disease fighting".  May you be proud to proclaim yourself a twenty-first century Farmacist.  Not a wizard of popular drugs, nutritional chemicals and supplements, but rather a sage of the experience of whole foods and the principles of health.
