Benefits
of Alternative Medicine |
by:

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.
