Ignore Your Good Health And It Will Go Away
By Margaret Albright
In this day and age with vast amounts of information available online and off line, are you still relying on your doctor to make your health decisions? Or are you simply ignoring your declining health, accepting it as part of life?
I am about to let you in on a well kept secret. Getting sick is not normal and should not be expected! You don’t have to have a cold every winter. The ‘flu season’ does not have to affect you. You don’t have to accept declining health as part of getting older. These are lies that the manufactures of drugs want you to believe so they can stay in business.
Eating a decent diet, getting a little exercise, keeping up on your vitamins and using herbal treatments are all you should ever need. Echinacea, garlic and onion are all great immune system boosters. If your immune system is strong you can be in a room full of sneezing first graders and never get a cold.
Papaya will get rid of the worst stomach ache in a matter of seconds. Potassium will relieve your aching legs. Calcium taken daily will eliminate menstrual cramps. Your IBS is probably a combination of colon congestion and systemic yeast. A good colon cleansing herbal treatment and some acidophilus will end your ibs for good.
These are all readily available, very inexpensive and actually good for you.
There was a time when doctors were the only people who knew anything about medicine, medical procedures, how our bodies work and so on. Those days have long since past.
We now have available to us, all the information we need to make our own health decisions. Alternative herbal remedies are abundant. Health and fitness information is plentiful.
Are you letting the person who sees you for ten minutes once a year make your health choices? Who knows your body better than you? Who cares more about you?
Let’s look at a quick scenario:
You are having a health problem. You go to your doctor and tell him or her how you feel. According to the medical journals, most other people who had similar symptoms found some relief by using a particular drug. This is what your doctor decides will be best for you. He writes you a prescription and tells you if you aren’t feeling better in two weeks come back and see him again. Do you smell Guinea pig?
Wouldn’t you be better off looking into the situation before hand? Find out what other people are doing to get relief for your same, exact symptoms. If you think you can handle the problem without medical intervention, do it. If you feel better letting some stranger make your life decisions, at least you will go to the doctor with more information than a handful of general symptoms.
Now when he decides you need a particular drug you might be able to say, “Well, I heard about this alternative treatment. What do you think about it?” If your doctor is so closed minded that he will not even consider alternative or herbal treatments, you really need to find a new doctor. Yours is only looking for a paycheck.
I am not suggesting you never go to your doctor again. Some things can’t be done at home. Lab tests and bone setting, for instance, do require a medical professional. I am saying there are better ways to handle your health than packing your body full of chemicals and hoping for the best.
You are not ‘most people’ and ’similar symptoms’ could be many different things. Do the research and find out the truth about your health. If your situation is not life threatening, maybe you are willing to try something different. It is highly possible a little common sense and a good herbal remedy will solve your problem with no side effects at all.
Sometimes constipation is just constipation and a nice cup of senna tea will take care of it. It certainly can’t hurt to try.
Isn’t it time for you to get healthy and stay that way? It can be done. All you need is the right information and some occasional natural remedies. So make a decision today that you are going to start taking care of you. Start researching your health. Get well and stay well.
