Western culture seems to suffer from many forms of disease these days that didn't seem so common only a few decades ago. With modern medicine apparently so advanced that it appears to many to be beyond comprehension it feels strange that there is so much sickness.
With so much money being spent world wide on research and new treatments surely there must be some reason why we don't have universal good health. We have pills for just about everything these days from headaches to high blood pressure, if these treatments are so effective how come everyone seems to get headaches so regularly and high blood pressure seems now normal.
The approach to modern health care involves telling your doctor what your symptoms are and then being prescribed drugs to treat those symptoms. If indeed these drugs could cure these diseases you would need only one short course of these pharmaceuticals and you would never need to go back. Obviously something is amiss as a significant proportion of all medication comes in the form of repeat prescriptions.
It becomes painfully clear that were these drugs able to produce the results the drug companies claim you would be cured of your illness after a single course.
There is a simple truth behind the motivations of pharmaceutical enterprises, they exist to make a profit and as such will pursue the course the makes them the most money.
Treatment is a lot more profitable than curing people, a patient who comes back repeatedly for drugs that treat symptoms not causes is more valuable than a patient who is cured after one course. Typically headache pills treat the ache not the head, high blood pressure pills treat the pressure not the blood.
Its the equivalent of painting the leaves green on a sick plant, the plant gets no better but the superficial symptoms of its sickness are eased. This is obviously no help to the plant but great if you are a paint salesman.
Indigenous people have known what modern medicine seems to have left behind, that you must treat the person and the cause not merely the outward manifestations of symptoms. Natural remedies have always provided all we need to over come any illness, after all if there was a disease that required modern medicine to cure it at any time in human history we wouldn't be here.
Natural herbal products, particularly organic and wild harvested herbs, have much to offer and have the lowest recorded side effects. Side effects from pharmaceuticals are prevalent because there is no way to target specific chemical reactions within the human body. If a drug reacts with a certain protein it will do so in all circumstances regardless of weather that protein is in the liver or the brain.
Herbs are not foreign chemical compounds, they are broken down to their constituent digestive components in the same way food is. In fact the effect is very much the same, herbal medicine seeks to give your body exactly the resources it requires to repair and revitalize itself. Your body did not become diseased because it forgot how to heal itself, you lacked the nutrients to complete the repairs.
Improved resistance to sickness and higher energy levels are often reported by users of 'alternative medicine', the alternative being a shotgun approach to healing. Most pharmaceuticals aim to kill and poison any pathogens in the body with little heed to the effect on the overall well being of the patient. Education is your key ally in this struggle to find real benefits over quick fix profit driven enterprises. Seek within yourself to find the answers your body requires to give you optimum health and vitality.
