With the growing number of people being affected by newly
discovered chronic degenerative diseases such as AIDS and
chronic fatigue syndrome, Are you worried or wondering....
Is it possible to maintain good health?
What your body needs to function properly?
Why conventional medicine is becoming more complicated and
costly and in some cases simply ineffective?
A growing number of people are turning to alternative medicine and
natural healing--simple, traditional low-tech methods of preventing
illnesses and solving everyday health problems.
Do you have unanswered questions on....
Why are people flocking to health food stores, with their
lotions and potions, and what keeps them going back for more?
What to do if you or someone in your family falls ill?
Are these therapies really old wives tales or can they really
work?
Even mainstream doctors have begun to recommend natural drugless
therapies' to treat both everyday complaints and serious illnesses.
Dietary modifications, for instance, has become the weapons of
choice against a number of diseases that would have been treated
mainly with prescription drugs a generation ago.
It is now known that many conditions are caused by the wrong
diet and can be reversed by the right diet.
Heart disease, cancer, weight problems, arthritis, diabetes,
high blood pressure--they can all be treated to some degree
with foods.
Natural therapies found in alternative
medicine are actually much older than Western treatments such
as surgeries and antibiotics. Experts estimate that herbal remedies
and Ayurveda, the traditional medicine of India, has been around
for 5,000 years.
Many alternative medicine remedies began with scientific research
or clinical impressions reported by physicians working with safe,
natural substances.
But we live in a generation now that has been cut off from this
age-old tradition of self-reliance. Healing and health care
have become almost--the exclusive province of duly licensed
physicians. While doctors and other professionals-are indeed
great to have around, what is not so great is when you cannot
do anything without them.
Shouldn't we be able to do something to save our health--maybe
even our lives--without a doctor?
What happens when medical help is not so readily available?
What happens when doctoring simply does not work?
Some of us go to doctor after doctor, and still no help. Is
that the end of the line?
While antibiotics have saved millions of lives, they have not
really solved some resurgence of germs that are turning up in
new forms that do not respond to conventional therapies.
There has been a real shift in the way people think about their
health. Rising health care cost is a factor in the recent surge
of interest in alternative medicine.
Many people are attracted to the alternative physicians emphasis
on treating the whole person--body, mind and spirit. Most
importantly some physicians use intensive counseling to help
patients find out whether aspects of their daily lives, such
as job stress, marital problems diet or sleeping habits might
be behind their symptoms.
In this age of managed care and impersonal group practices patients
find this individualized approach of alternative medicine
particularly appealing.
One of the principal goals of natural healing is to break the
cycle of dependency and allow people to be more in control of
their own lives.
