Friday, November 2nd, 2007Mainstream Medicine versus Alternative Medicine
Friday, October 19th, 2007This article will compare medical professionals from mainstream medicine to medical professionals in alternative medical practices so you can be the judge on which is best for you.
There are many doctors that care about their patients and they want to help them live a better life but mainstream medical schools do not provide them the education they need to do the job. Many practitioners of alternative medicines are taught to look at the patient as a whole and not just at the specific symptoms or ailment that’s being complained about.
Mainstream medical schools do a good job of teaching their students anatomy and recognizing different diseases. They also teach them how to treat the symptoms of the disease but there are very few, if any, classes that teach the importance of including the whole lifestyle and nutritional habits of their patients in the care plan. This type of teaching is disease oriented instead of prevention based.
In some areas of the Far East, medical professionals have their pay based on the health of their patients. If a patient becomes ill, the pay is reduced.
Practitioners of alternative medicine are often taught to work with nature and their patients to try to create a harmony that restores health and well being. This approach forces the professional to look at the person, their lifestyle, their nutritional habits and their total being.
Here are a few conditions that may be treated without prescription medicines with the right medical professional:
Heart disease - This is a growing problem in the world as more people adopt the western lifestyle of too much fat food and too little exercise. Mainstream medical doctors have a wide assortment of pills and surgical procedures available to them but they are just treating the symptoms. Dr. Robert D. Willix Jr., M.D. quit his practice of heart surgery at the height of his career because he was tired of treating the disease and wanted to move to the prevention and reversal of the problem. “How to Prevent or Even Reverse Heart disease - Without Drugs or Surgery†is one of the results of his switch.
Migraine headaches - In our article Is Magnesium a Miracle Mineral?, we discussed how a high percentage of migraine headaches are caused by a mineral deficiency. Since mainstream medicine doesn’t have enough nutrition classes for their doctors, many don’t have the skill set needed to recommend anything other than the pills presented by pharmaceutical companies.
High cholesterol or triglycerides - A friend of mine was recently told his triglyceride level was too high and he was given a prescription for a medicine that had a $130 price tag for a month’s supply. The doctor gave him enough samples to last about 2 weeks. During this 2 week period, he experienced pains in his legs every day as a side effect from the prescribed medication. This friend is currently studying alternative medical options and therapies and he asked the doctor if no flush niacin in a certain dosage would yield the same results and the doctor said yes. A 100 day supply of no flush niacin was purchased and delivered for less than $40. the pain vanished once the prescription medicine was stopped and the no flush niacin was started.
Acne - Studies are increasingly showing the root cause of acne is hormones out of balance. There is a whole industry surrounding the treatment of acne and many of the products use chemicals that leach toxins into your body through your skin. There are natural alternatives that work with your body to remove the pimples without adding poison to your body.
Cancer - Mainstream medicine has made great strides in treating cancer but the treatment often includes surgery followed by radiation, chemo therapy or both. I’m not advising anyone to ignore mainstream medicine but alternative medicine has been helping cancer patients for years with some amazing results. Natural Cancer Treatments is a resource you should read to inform yourself of options you may not otherwise hear about.
More mainstream medical professionals are choosing to learn about some of the alternative medical options available. You owe it to yourself and your loved ones to check out both mainstream and alternative options for your medical care to see which works best for you.
Why Distilled Water Should be Consumed
Saturday, October 13th, 2007Distilled water has taken water from an available source and heated it until it turns to steam which helps ensure you are receiving pure water with nothing extra.
A lot of the well water in the world has some chemical or mineral you do NOT want to add to your body. Many municipal water supplies add chemicals to water to purify it, fluoridate it or otherwise treat it then ship it through pipes that may be decades old.
- Life cannot exist without water. The water in your body carries the nutrients you need to live to your cells. Water carries waste away from the cells and out of your body. Your body temperature is regulated, in part, with water. Distilled water is the purest form of water available to most of us so it is the best choice for delivering the nutrients to our cells and removing toxins. If the water you drink already has toxins in it, your body will need to work harder to eliminate all toxins.
- If you fail to keep your body properly hydrated, your body will draw water from the blood making your heart work harder and reducing the efficiency of your vital organs. You are properly hydrated when your urine is a pale yellow. Darker yellows or cloudy urine indicates you are dehydrated and need to add water. (Many bottled waters are created from municipal water supplies and some have added flavoring and sugars which reduces the benefits you derive from pure distilled water. Coffee, soda and other beverages contain water but they need to be digested before they can be used and this makes them less effective.
Some other signs that you may have a problem with low hydration are muscle craps, fatigue, headaches, dryness in your nasal passages or skin problems.
The old adage that you need 8 glasses of water is a general guideline not a rule set in stone. How much water you need depends on your activity level, body type and size and the weather. You’ll need to consume a lot more water on a hot day than on a cool day. Let your urine color be your guide and KNOW that you’ll need to drink plenty of water when exercising or doing any strenuous activity if you want to help prevent cramps or worse.
You must decide whether you will get your water from beverages, bottled water or distilled water but do not underestimate your need for water when more than half your weight is from water.
