what are your thoughts on holistic or natural medicine?

November 11th, 2009 | by admin |

I’ve been reading a few things here and there saying some pretty crazy stuff about the medications approved by the FDA. For example, did you know Coumadin contains arsenic?? Why aren’t people who are sick or who want to avoid sickness seeking out better healing measures??
helloo…is anybody out there??

I am a huge believer in naturopathic healing modalities and nutrition and herbs and such.

Herbs and natural cures go to the root cause of the illness that may be causing multiple diseases which are really all symptoms of the root cause which doctors term each a disease instead of the symptoms they really are. This is why herbs often fix a diverse number of various diseases as they fix the root cause of seemingly unrated illnesses.

They also ignore preventive medicine. this is due to effective brainwashing that doctors are the only ones who know anything, the idea that anyone not an MD is a quack as well as the poor quality of most herbal products which renders them ineffective (only use organic tinctures in most cases and do not use herbs that are standardized..learn to make you own herbal tinctures using at least 50-75% herbs and the rest menstrum (usually vodka) using bulk organic and wild crafted herbs at a strong strength. Take about 2 dropperfuls 3-5 times a day so use enough.

also people do not want to follow the innate voice in their head that tells them what to do but to instead rely on some expert who is not you and not innately connected with your case and who wishes to heal it far more than doctors do.you but you don’t think you can, but you really, really can..no matter how serious it is..do not give your power away..even incurable illnesses have been cured..

People need to trust themselves and learn things themselves in order to make good decisions.

Also we have a pill society viewpoint..I will live a decadent, unhealthy lifestyle (drink, smoke, take drugs, eat junk, stress out, hate people, do not relax or exercise, etc) and then when I get sick will look for and expect a pill to fix me..it is this desire for the quick fix..true health involves thought and time and effort.

It is all about money and therefore they now market drugs directly to consumers..they lock doctors hands not letting them practice alternative health much as they are the way the drug companies push their drugs by giving doctors perks..

Smart people break the get them rich and let them fix me thinking by researching alternative health, and knowing what they are doing..I rarely that their stuff and my health is pretty good. If I am ill, I immediately reach for an herb or nutrient or food said to help it and design a program of healing and do not visit doctors unless I need a diagnosis or in drastic cases. I do not take their drugs unless I thoroughly research weighing pros and cons..I rarely take drugs as I feel they often make you worst or carry too many dangers.

the natural way is the best way but one must siphon through all the "natural" products to find the ones that truly are and are not some marketing campaign.

Keep preaching natural healing and advising others..the more people that see it works, the more people will demand it..used to be one could not find any organic foods..the demand went up and now most places have at least some.

    I am a devout vegan and a very strong believer in hollistic remedies………..that being said, I would also like to that some drugs are a neccessary evil. For instance the drug you mentioned, coumadin, which is a very potent anticoagulant, is undoubtably one of those very much needed medications. Sometimes hollistic medicine is a lot of trial a error, and personally i do not think a clotting disorder is a situation in which a person should shun pharmaceuticals. A pulmonary embolism takes minutes possibly to form and do profound damage, where as it could take a single person years to find a hollistic cure for the disorder or fix the problem causing it. As far as why people do not seek better healing measures, I think we live in a fast fix society, people have a cold they want a anti-biotic (whether it works or not), people have back pain, they want pain killers (when a lot of time good ole fashioned cheap exercise will do the trick).

    Natural medicines generally avoid those often dreadful side effects that you get from prescription medications. Often you get no side effects at all from natural medications and if you do they are rarely as pronounced as those from prescription medications.

    Herbal medications treat the cause of health problems whereas prescription medications treat the symptoms only and our bodies regard them as foreign materials that are poisons and the side effects are actually a protest by our bodies against the invasion of these poisons.

    Coumadin DOES NOT contain arsenic. There is not a single atom of arsenic in the molecular formula of coumadin nor in the starch/dye additives necessary for coumadin to be made into tablet form. There are, however, trace amounts of arsenic in almost all vegetables.

    Coumadin is RAT poison.There have been 300 studies showing fish oil to be more effective but without the risk. so why don’t doctor give fish oil? Answer no profit for the big pharms. The pharm.Co. are interested in making money,not curing diseases. One of the top executive of one of the top ten Pharm. Co. stated ;Our prime responsibility is to our investors.In the”50’s" there was a major shift in medicine.About this time the main thrust of medicine became profit not healing. To add to this mess the FDA is funded now mostly by the Pharm. Co. All drugs have side effects .
    Look at CHEMO. does it make sense to make sick people sicker. And we can go on with this list.
    Far as I’m concerned natral medicine is the only way to go. allopathic medicine is the alternative to medicine!!!
    Natural medicine such as herbals work with the body to help the body heal its self.Drug don’t cure . Not one person been cured of high bloodpressure but they’re put on a drug for the rest of their life.

    Arsenic has also been used to treat certain illnesses in the past. (Please don’t eat rat poison because it will not cure what ails you). Arsenic attacks the liver and causes a severe case of yellow jaundice and also death. Your doctor knows how much you should take which is why Coumadin is by prescription only. Radiation also kills as in nuclear reactors but many cancers cannot be cured without it. I doubt you will get radiation from a holistic healer or natural medicine. If you can find something better, go for it.
