Alternative Medicine - The Healthy Choice
By Jem Bacchus
Alternative and Conventional Medicines are the two main
systems of healing in use today and the utmost caution
should be taken to choose wisely.
Being healthy is of crucial importance in the life of everyone.
I do not believe that there is anyone who relishes the
anguish of disease. Without health you cannot function
properly in any area of your life.
Whether enjoying the normal faculties of life or mentally
unbalanced, every person would rather be perfectly healthy
than endure the tortures of pain, sickness and disease, but
there comes a time when we must seek medical help.
It is unfortunate that instead of healing the sick, very often
some medicines interfere with the natural process of
healing, resulting in additional suffering and further
deterioration of health.
In ancient times, illness was cured by the use of herbs and
other natural therapies which always proved very effective.
Today, those same therapies as well as modern discoveres
based on those of ancient times are referred to as
alternative medicine and the public has been brainwashed
into believing that the treatments are worthless; yet, many
diseases that have been deemed 'incurable' are being
healed by alternative means but, unfortunately, these cures
have never been heard of by countless sufferers.
What is called conventional medicine (also referred to as
mainstream, standard, allopathic or orthodox medicine), is
man-made synthetic drugs that were not in existence in
ancient times. Interestingly, so many diseases were not
around in those days as there are today.
The main difference between the two systems is that
alternative medicine is concerned about the prevention of
disease and pays attention to and deals with the cause by
treating the body as a whole. It focuses on preventing
disease before it starts. It views the presence of disease as
an imbalance of the emotional, mental and physical state of
a person and endeavors to support and strengthen the
immune system by natural means.
Alternative medicine contends that the body is naturally
able to heal itself and remain stable - known in medicine as
homeostasis.
On the other hand, conventional medicine is not concerned
with preventing disease but rather with using synthetic
drugs to cure an already established ailment. It is more
interested in treating just the symptoms of disease by
scientific techniques and technology instead of treating the
whole person.
Many conventional drugs are said to have the potential to
damage the liver and kidneys, and cause mental
depression, heart falure, cancer and other adverse side
effects. Now, if that is so, why are they still being
manufactured and sold to the public? Where is the concern
for public health and safety?
Note that since the introduction of conventional medicine,
instead of there being greater relief from illness, there has
been an exponential surge of diseases wreaking havoc in
the lives of unsuspecting mortals. Why is this so?
If conventional medicine were the answer to health
problems, why are there so many more diseases prevalent
today? The interesting thing is that a name is readily given
to each new disease and some form of synthetic remedy is
quickly manufactured for sale!
Conventional medicine has been so well advertised that the
public is convinced that it is the only way they can get relief
from devastating illnesses. They jump at the announcement
of any new supposedly super healing conventional medicine
and with no hesitation embark upon treating themselves.
This is especially so in the case of weight loss.
The sad thing is that no real cure is realized from these,
whereas there are natural remedies that have been proven
to cure. I can personally attest to certain cures that I have
experienced through the use of natural remedies.
It is well known that some drug manufacturers have had to
withdraw their dangerous medication because of the
likelihood of patients suffering heart attack and stroke.
Most synthetic drugs, if not all, have dangerous side effects
of which the public is unaware. Some are very detrimental
to unborn babies. So why are these drugs still being sold
and at such exorbitant prices?
The general public is not sufficiently made aware of the
dangers of conventional drugs. For obvious reasons, no
attempt to do so is made by those who should educate the
unwary and encourage the use of alternative medicine.
Obviously, if disease is prevented by natural means before
resulting in the breakdown of the immune system which is
the body's mechanism of defence against illness, serious
diseases such as cancer and other so-called incurable
diseases would be revented, and so there would be little
need for the administration of expensive conventional
medicine since that would be necessary only in case of
surgery and other traumatic conditions.
Another point that I think worthy of note is about products
so readily put on the skin. Most of them are formulated with
harmful synthetic substances that get into the blood stream
and invariably cause dangerous side effects. As it is said,
what you would not eat, you should not put on your skin.
Remember that the skin absorbs and cannot differentiate
between synthetic chemicals and natural substances. You
may not see the adverse effects now, but years later your
skin would speak for itself. You do not want to look older
than your age, do you? Then do not poison yourself with
the topical application of toxic skin products.
No one should be so busy so as not be able to find time to
learn about the natural substances that they could take to
protect their own bodies and prevent diseases. Many
thousands of persons might have been alive today if only
they had known, and had been encouraged to use natural
remedies.
I enjoy reading to find out about ancient formulas and
treatments that have resurfaced today, as well as new
discoveries of natural healing methods and remedies that
are gaining momentum amongst health conscious persons.
? have collected lots of information on herbal remedies.
Among them are such topics as heart health the natural
way, aromatherapy essential oils, homeopathy, beautiful
skin care, skin diseases, healing for conditions such as
acne, hemorrhoids, eczema, etc., weightloss, and many
other natural health remedies and detailed information on
how to make your own from nature's herbs, vitamins and
nutrients.
Many persons seem to be convinced that natural remedies
made by God do not have the efficacy of the synthetic
remedies made by man!
God who made this world has said "the leaves of the trees
for healing of the nations." God is truth and cannot lie. Isn't
it time that we took Him at his word?
Why should we put our trust in Satan and his lies and put
no confidence in God and His truth?
Since there seems to be no confidence in what God has
made, Why don't we make our own water, sunshine, trees,
and fresh air? Why do we walk upon God's earth? We
should make our own basic items to concoct synthetic
remedies instead of corrupting the things that God has
made.
You can seek relief from disease either through natural
alternative medicine by which you can maintain good health
and save; or, through conventional medicine with its ill
effects of costly synthetic prescription drugs at the risk of
further deterioration of your health. It is up to you to
prevent poisoning yourself, avoid unnecessary pain and
suffering, and be healthy.
Keep this in mind:
If you really want to fight disease,
Natural Medicine is the Healthy Choice;
But, if you'd rather be deceased,
Synthetic Medicine might be the Deadly Choice!!
