Herbal medicines, acupressure, acupuncture, natural medication, and
healing are some of those. And we dance along because if things cannot
be explained by scientific methods, it cannot be true.
In my personal opinion:
Definition of health varies from person to person. To some it means that
nothing is really serious, for some it means not getting any worse, for
other it is the visit to the doctor every year to get a nod of “all clear”.
Seldom did it mean zero health problems. And so we get by with taking
aspirins and painkillers and live with aches and pains that we associate
with certain infective bug, overwork, or aging.
The problem with chemically formulated drugs and medicines is that:
One; it remedies a part of the body but destroys another, often the liver.
Two: it has questionable benefits that simple observation will tell you that
if the medication prescribed by the physician is not getting the desired result,
an alternative prescription will be given (a physician that has a reputation
for having a higher batting average will be called as “good” and so will the
physicians fees be).
Third: When a part of the body fails to function normally when taking the drug,
it will be termed as side effects.
Fourth: When the body acclimatizes to the drug prescribed, we are in effect
sentencing our body to a lifetime of medication.
Fifth: Behind the advances claimed, it does not really increase the average
lifespan. Like the rest of the world, we still are satisfied if we hit the magic
mark of seventy years.
For most of us, it has not been recognized that there is an alternative to
a life sentence of traditional medication.
That there are medications not only to cure whatever ails but to build the
reserves and boost the system so that ailments are reversed naturally.
When the system is made healthier and reserves are built, we could in
part avoid the doctor whose typical remedy is give us drugs.
In the ancient world, our forebears have already recognized that there are
only two kinds of plants, that which is good for food and that which is
better for healing.
Even animals know this. Our house pets like dogs, cats, and chickens will
forage for a particular grass of herb when they are not feeling well.
Sooner this is vomited and the animal heals. In eastern cultures, these
natural methods have been the BASIS for healing.
Test the process of relieving suffering and health anxiety naturally, that
you can enjoy more of life without chemical drugs – that give you only
temporary eight-hour solutions until the pain strikes again.
