Health is very important for all of us, members and non-members alike.  For this reason, we periodically have natural medicine courses as well as courses on home and community hygiene, because we know that prevention is the best cure.  Little by little, we have realized that cleanliness and medicinal plants are both curing and economical.

In this manner, we can maintain greater levels of health and cure ourselves with medicines that are neither dangerous or expensive, since the plants that our earth provides us are in abundance.  We have established a central committee to provide courses to health promoters and community committees, and to supply first-aid stations with the means necessary to prepare treatment.

In our communities, we have prepared the first-aid stations with the following:  capsules, 'tinctures'(traditional medicine in alcohol), micro-doses, ointments, etc.  We much prefer to use the treatments that our past generations used, and presently, pharmacies are being used much less frequently.  We have found chemical medicines to only "cure" the pockets of the wealthy, and to leave us sick and without a cent.

The following is the objective and goals developed for the health program by our health promoters and committees:

OBJECTIVE:

Develop a project of popular medicine to prevent sickness and to improve health and life, while taking advantage of natural resources and our knowledge of natural medicines.

GOALS :

1.  To have health promoters in each community so that they may provide a better service with the knowledge they have aquired.

2.  To form committees in each community, because the funcionality of the first-aid stations depends on the participation of all.

3. To organize the different zones to provide better training and to mutually enrich the health experience and improve availability of services. 

4.  For well-trained health promoters to share their knowledge and experiences with new promoters of community health.
