On the surface, the concepts behind terms such as mind-body-green, raw food, natural living, holistic medicine, organic, non-gmo, etc. seem like nothing more than ideas that promote a healthy body. I certainly agree with the common-sense advice to eat wholesome food, exercise, etc. but I often see a very disturbing agenda behind such innocent façades...
In essence, the influence of so many "natural living" websites and magazines is antithetical to the Christian faith. Interspersed with solid and long-proven principles of nutrition and health there are often a conglomeration of pseudoscience, mysticism and downright-but-popular lies. There's an emphasis on a metaphysical approach, where anything Eastern is good and anything Western is bad. Commonly, there's often a paranoid conspiracy-theory slant on food, medicine, the pharmacy industry, etc.
Although, spiritual health is usually touted as an important aspect of wellness, you'll never hear a mention of the Holy Spirit. You'll see many quotes from Buddha, Ghandi, psychologists, etc. but not from Billy Graham or any other Christian leader. In the guise of promoting a healthy planet, you'll find numerous articles about saving the planet, but nothing about saving a soul. And it's quite illuminating how any mention of political/cultural issues usually tows the liberal line.
The idea of healing yourself with food, herbs, mindset, affirmations, etc. promotes the idea that you don't really have to trust in anything other than yourself. It makes it easier to believe that you possess all the "divinity" needed to be healthy and whole. Again, I'm a big fan of positive thinking and doing my part to address my health issues, but there's just no substitute for faith in God. And I'm talking about the God of the Bible, not the generic build-your-own-higher-power-however-you-want "God". Even though the authors might not be attacking Christianity directly, they never present it as an important component of a healthy life. Buddhism, Hinduism, or just about any New Age spiritual perspective get tons of attention, but the God of the Bible? Not a word...
I don't get the impression that this bias by omission and/or favor of other spiritual perspectives/faith is typically driven by malicious intent. My guess is that most of the "natural living" proponents just simply don't consider Christ or the Bible as anything important to healthy living. But from what I've seen, even the most avid follower of the suggested advice of these Eastern-influenced healthy living gurus, is clearly not healthy spiritually, when they don't live their lives with the Holy Spirit as the driving component of their daily regimen.
And I often see even devout Christians being drawn into this insidious attempt by the enemy to use such appealing (but deceptive and untruthful) concepts to promote the nutritional equivalent of the New Age movement. At best, it pulls a believer into a place where they're providing validation and support of an environment that is counter to a faith in God...and at worst, to give the enemy a foothold to attack your beliefs and to become complicit in supporting the lies of the enemy...
