Our culture has allowed the health care industry to become so powerful and disproportionately lucrative that it is now in the business of illness rather than health. So many people are tired of going to the same doctor feeding them the same pills that keep them in the same cycle of illness medication repeat, it's sickening! It's almost as if we've been programmed to view our health this way when there are far better ways to do it.
Have you ever wondered why every time you take your medication or visit the doctor's office, your illnesses seem to be getting worse? Have you ever noticed that every time you stopped going to the doctor for a long period of time and were off the medications, your illness, although still there, does not get any worse? That's because these medications were specifically designed by private companies and doctors alike, whose common end goal is to profit off of your illness. Wouldn't it be much wiser not to put our entire faith and trust into these people?
Most medical schools don't teach disease prevention, proper diet or exercise as a part of health. Objective measures are emphasized - white blood cell counts, blood pressure readings, etc., instead of how the patient feels. Pain is treated as a powerful enemy, its symptoms assaulted with prescription drugs that mask it or drive it underground- a practice that usually means it will resurface later with increased intensity.
The twenty-first century finds many people using more natural, less drug-oriented therapies, sometimes as an alternative to conventional medicine, sometimes in a team approach along with it. As orthodox medicine becomes more invasive, and less in touch with the person who is ill, informed people are becoming more willing to take a measure of responsibility for their own health.
There are other approaches to complementary health that focus on a system, rather than just a single practice or remedy, such as massage. These systems center on a philosophy, such as the power of nature or the presence of energy in your body. Examples of these approaches include:
- Ancient healing systems. These healing systems arose long before conventional Western medicine and include Ayurveda from India and traditional Chinese medicine.
- Homeopathy. This approach uses very small doses of a drug that cause symptoms to stimulate the body's self-healing response.
- Naturopathy. This approach focuses on noninvasive treatments to help your body do its own healing and uses a variety of practices, such as massage, acupuncture, herbal remedies, exercise and lifestyle counseling.
The practices in alternative medicine make use of substances found in nature, like herbs, food, and vitamins, while modern medicine using synthetic opioids.
There is a reason a vast majority of people all over the world are beginning to shun Western medicine and are looking elsewhere, practicing alternative medicine and ingesting natural herbs due to the high epidemic of opioids going on especially in the United States of America. People all over the world are finding newer, healthier alternatives than the typical injection of pharmaceuticals which have often times been proven to do more harm than good in many cases throughout history. Follow me, and see why Billions of people worldwide are making the switch to clean, natural, organic herbs, as opposed to the usual synthetic material doctors have been force feeding us for years.
