The Basics 2 (Part 2): Take Care And...Beware..

People want to be and stay healthy, but global healthcare costs are soaring.   This has created a staggering number of people desperately seeking low-cost alternative treatment options. Alternative medicine has generated controversy in many medical academic circles.  Photo by  practicalowl  on  Foter.com  /  CC BY-NC For some people, the very word "alternative" conjures up images of risky, unproven experimental treatments that are potentially hazardous to the general public. The most common methods of alternative or complementary therapies include herbs, supplements, and fringe therapies found outside of conventional medical applications. Unusual concoctions come with the territory of "alternative treatments". However, some alternative methods unintentionally raise questions regarding their safety and effectiveness.

The Basics 2 (Part 1): Herbs In Your Home

Those of you that follow this blog regularly will probably recall my original "Basics Series". I brought that series out for the benefit of my new readers who may have been unfamiliar with herbal therapies. Here is the link to part 1.   The other parts, of course, are available via archives, table of contents (TOC), and internal blog search. Feel free to read and share them.  This brings me to my newest series which is simply titled "The Basics 2". My previous series was in three parts. I'm not sure if I'll make this series quite that long (or longer), but I wanted to provide you with some additional content on the subject. Once again, feel free to share and read....

To Cleanse Or Not To Cleanse...

Russian Nobel Prize Winning Biologist Elie Metchnikoff (1845-1916) is credited with the famous expression " Death Begins In The Colon ".  Photo credit: wikipedia I couldn't agree more with him.  Recently, I was asked about the best way to take off the pounds & improve your health overall. There is no easy answer to this question because there are literally thousands (even tens of thousands) of techniques and methods to achieve this goal. I decided to start off with one of the most elementary and ancient techniques available. What Exactly Is Colon Cleansing? Simply put, it is the process of cleaning the intestinal tract and the colon for removing the toxins. Some of the methods used for the colon cleansing are injecting water, dietary supplement, laxatives, and herbs. People resort to colon cleaning mainly because any accumulation of the toxins in the intestinal tract will lead to various diseases. In The Beginning... It is believed that the ancient

The "V" Word (Part Two)

Economic factors can greatly affect your ability to follow a healthy diet. Let's face it, eating a low fat, low carbohydrate diet can be costly. Food prices world wide are now at at an all time high. Organic farmers everywhere are feeling the pinch as they now find themselves having to pay more for feed and suitable natural soil treatments for planting. This equals into higher costs at the market for consumers globally. For example, what used to cost 15-20% of monthly wages has now gone up to an average of 40-60%. Believe it or not, these staggering figures are quickly becoming a reality for many people. It is solely up to the individual to make informed choices about their health in order to ensure longevity.

The Basics Series: Part Three

Modern Medicine vs Traditional Methods Physicians and other medical professionals are very beneficial to society as a whole, but what happens when trendy doctoring merely will not work? It is a known reality that antibiotics have saved many lives over the years. However, a recent resurgence of "classic" viruses and germs are proving to be extraordinarily resistant to applied medical therapies. Antibiotics are largely ineffective against them. Mainstream doctors are currently recommending natural therapies to treat both minor symptoms and chronic conditions. Dietary modification, for example, has become a key weapon against illnesses that would have needed in depth prescription drug treatment a generation ago.

Why Natural Therapies Work Natural therapies found in alternative medicine are considerably older than Western treatments such as invasive surgical techniques and antibiotics.

One of the principal goals of natural healing is to completely break the cycle of dependency and allow people to have more control over their lives. Physicians and other medical professionals are very beneficial to society as a whole, but what happens when modern doctoring simply does not work? It is a known fact that antibiotics have saved millions of lives over the years.

The Basics Series: Part One

Standard Treatment Regimen If you become ill, you'll naturally visit the doctor, get a diagnosis done and be given a prescription. You take the medication as prescribed, and hopefully, you will be cured. If additional symptoms develop, you'll be prescribed medication for those health issues as well. Each symptom gets its own medication and if those symptoms create additional issues...you get the idea. This is how modern health care works these days - an endless cycle of diagnosis and prescription. If it were suggested that you simply get garden herbs and roots for medicine, you may dismiss this recommendation as utter rubbish.
