Alternative Medicine vs Conventional Medicine - Part I
The term 'alternative medicine' that is so commonly used
today is somewhat unsuitable since that would seem to
indicate that it is a form of treatment departing from
so-called 'traditional' scientific practices and is just a
possibility for a new treatment of disease.
The truth is, so called 'alternative' medicine is the natural
treatment of disease that was in effect in ancient times long
before conventional medicine was ever introduced.
Alternative medicine is traditional, whereas conventional
medicine is relatively new and not traditional. So conventional
medicine should rightly be deemed 'alternative.'
Upon the introduction of conventional medicine, what is
now called alternative medicine was suppressed, insomuch
that many sufferers are very distrustful of the use of
ancient treatments because they have been made to believe
that such treatments are ineffectual or even dangerous.
Yet, many ancient practices as Chinese, water treatment,
herbal remedies, massage and Ayurveda (Indian medicine
believed to be the oldest and most complete medical system)
are still being practised with great results; and, in recent
times, other systems also based upon the ancient forms of
natural healing have emerged. These include such therapies
as homeopathy, osteopathy, chiropractic, aromatherapy,
nutritional medicine, naturopathic, and many other natural
therapies that have proved to support the natural healing
function of the body with excellent results.
In spite of this, there are persons who would prefer to suffer
than give such treatments a chance. However, when all else
fail, many of those same persons are now returning to such
therapies with the hope of finding relief.
Although there are different alternative therapies with
varying beliefs and techniques, there are common principles
under which they are all operating, some are:
1. The body can heal itself naturally and remain stable.
2. Health problems can be contributed to factors of mind,
body and emotions.
3. It is more important to get to the root cause
of an
illness and treat the whole person than to concentrate upon
symptoms only.
4. A person can contribute to his own healing if he pays more
attention to his health.
5. The same method of treatment cannot be suitable for
everyone since each person is unique in his physical, mental,
and spiritual build. This is why two persons may be diagnosed
with the same disease and the same level of illness, and one
survives and the other succumbs. Your mind can work wonders.
The main difference between so-called alternative medicine
and conventional medicine is that the latter is too concerned
with treating the symptoms of disease by scientific techniques
and technology instead of treating the whole person and the
cause of disease. On the other hand, alternative medicine
puts much emphasis upon the prevention of disease as mentioned above), and seeks to treat the whole person so as to strengthen the immune system to bring about a sustained healing.
Many diseases that have been deemed "incurable" are being
healed by natural 'alternative' means today but, unfortunately,
they have never been heard of by countless sufferers.
I enjoy making my own natural remedies from nature's herbs,
vitamins and nutrients. I have been doing this for years and
have always been quite healthy. You too can avoid the effects
of costly synthetic prescription drugs used as medicines. It
is up to you to stop poisoning yourself, maintain good health
and save.
This article is written for information only and is not
intended to suggest treatment of any disease. Information
contained herein is based on research I have done and just
want to share with interested persons. Anyone suffering from
a disease is advised to consult a recognized practitioner for
advice.
