Alternative & Complementary Medicine: Prevention Is Better Than Cure!!
Introduction
Many people today have a renewed interest in the whole area of Alternative and Complementary Medicine. This is a very good thing because Conventional Medicine cannot always provide a cure for any illness that comes along
You may have heard the saying “after [some illness] he or she was never the same again”! The patient may have received some kind of “cure” but it left their lives ruined by some combination of the experience and the drugs/ therapies involved
Illness Really Is Preventable
The single most important thing to understand about your own health is that illness is preventable Now I dont mean things like the common cold - although even this can be preventable to a certain point. I am talking about lifestyle changes, that can improve your health significantly and more important can prevent many of the deadly time bombs that are ticking away inside all of us
Now of course none of us can prevent every illness - all of us will become ill at some point or other. However we can all look after our bodies to such a point that we are in a condition to recover, when that illness strikes
Its a simple fact of life that if your body is kept in peak fitness, then you will always recover from any illness alot faster, than people who are basically unfit, overweight, living on junk food, not taking sufficient exercise, having a poor diet etc
In addition if you keep your body in a good condition, you will automatically be avoiding many of the illnesses that may strike
Its All In The Mind!!
Many medical tests have been done over many centuries to show that merely giving someone a pill, which they think has some wonderful healing properties, will have a noticable impact on someones health and their overall medical condition. This of course is well known as the “placebo” effect, but it illustrates very importantly the power of the “mind” in the physycology of wellness. If you really belive that you will get better then there is a good chance you will!!
Jesus The Master “Mind” Healer
Whether you have any religious belief or not, you cannot but be amazed by the power and hypnotism of a religious teacher telling people they will be healed if they can but believe it
We should all take on board this strong belief in the mind that we will be well, that we will avoid illness, that we will live a strong healthy lifestyle, good diet etc
You Have To Walk The Walk!!
To prevent illness you have to consider all the time your health and your lifestyle, your diet etc When you are hungry and away from home and thinking of getting a “bite to eat” - do you consider whether what you are about to eat, is healthy or not I believe you should always be thinking about your life, every day. This way you are alive to the fact that we all get old and that life is in fact very fragile
Conclusion - Yes You Can Prevent Illness!!
Always remember you are responsible for your own health Its not your parents fault you get ill or someone that just passed some illness on to you. In the end its your responsibility Use you mind to educate you body against illness, listen to what that voice in your head tells you. Maybe you need a break, maybe you just need to go and lie down for a while to help your body recover. Go on a Sabattical out in the middle of nowhere with no radio and no TV just to unwind, and allow your body to recover itself Be aware of the value of diet and exercise, always be asking yourself what the consequences for your body and your health are of what you are doing If you take these simple steps you will prevent much of the illness that may come your way. You will put your body in such a strong position that illness if it comes will not be able to rob you of your life and your enjoyment
