Just a Spoonful of Sugar… But is it Safe? - Mixing Food and Medicine is a Tricky Task, But FLAVORx has the Answer
Bethesda, MD (ContentDesk) November 5, 2005 -- Milkshakes, orange juice, and sometimes even chocolate pudding - at one point or another in our lives we have all tried some type of creative technique to mask the terrible taste of certain medicines. Sometimes it works, and sometimes you have a mouthful of prescription tasting milkshake, but the medicine is ingested and all is well. Or is it?

Why Blessing Your Food is So Important
Why Blessing Your Food is So Important
by Stephanie Relfe
If you want to maintain happy emotions it is very important to pray over your food and drink before consuming it. This is even more important to do if you want to grow spiritually.
Praying over your food and drink is especially important if you are eating food that has not been prepared yourself or at least by someone who has a good energy.
Food is made of energy. Your body, mind and spirit are energy. Energy can be transmitted by touch.
There are subtle invisible thought-forms that can pass from one person to another when one person prepares food and another eats it.
I will give a story to illustrate this. Like most people, I virtually never did bless my food. Then I met and married my husband Michael. He always prayed over his food and drink and blessed it in Jesus' name.
My food and drink received the same treatment, so I still didn...
