Naturopathic Remedies for your Ailments


Naturopathic remedies are a system of treatment of disease that avoids drugs and surgery. It emphasizes the use of natural agents (as air, water and herbs) and physical means (as tissue manipulation and electrotherapy)

Natural Healing Methods More Accepted Today

More and more people today are realizing how natural healing therapy is becoming more popular today than ever. They are beginning to realize that the conventional doctor is not solving their medical concerns.

Conventional doctors typically do not get to the prime root of their health problem. They are treating their symptoms instead. Since medical schools are influenced by the drug industry, doctors lack getting the proper education on nutrition or natural treatments.

So the general emphasis on treating illnesses and diseases is usually prescribing drugs or suggesting surgery. No prescription drug company product is likely to cure any illness or disease. Also surgery can be prevented many times with natural medicine healing.

The best health plan for sure is an alternative medicine program.

Either a naturopathic doctor or a conventional doctor educated in nutrition and natural healing therapy are qualified to set up some kind of a alternative medicine program.

There are many functions that could be included in this type of program. It could involve several lifestyle changes like diet, exercise, stress management, weight control and even vitamin and mineral supplementation. The one thing it will not involve is a prescription drug regimen. Even surgery is not likely unless it is the only alternative and even that would be rare.

Side effects of prescription drugs is a great concern

Here's the thing that most people seem to be concerned about when taking a prescription drug company product. They are now jittery about the side effects of prescription drugs. Some side effects can be highly dangerous. But how do you find out the hazards of your medications? (It's difficult)

These are medical concerns you should be aware of. When you hear about the side effects made known on TV commercials about certain drugs it sounds very frightening. However what is not revealed is even worse. So how to you get the true information?

Sometimes you may get a printed insert in the package containing your prescription by the pharmacist who filled your order. Other times the side effects may be listed on the bottle containing your prescription.

Here's the problem with the package insert. First of all, sometimes the printing is so small you may need a magnifying glass to read it. Another problem is the way it is written, in arcane medical language and a format specified by federal regulations.

The package insert’s catalog of side effects is hard to access. "Adverse Reactions," includes every side effect reported during the drug's clinical testing, and when appropriate the side effects of other drugs in the same class. Potential fatal adverse reactions may also be listed under "Warnings" or "Contraindications" or in a black box. (Surf the Internet for additional information)

Change your course of thinking

If you really want to refrain from this entire nonsense, become nutrition smart. Learn more about nutritional supplements and which particular vitamins and minerals will supply you with the proper nutrients you need. Ask me how you can find out which nutrients you really need. (I can provide you with a simple questionnaire that will give you a detailed report)

The American population is becoming more concerned about their recent health issues then ever and are not getting the right answers to correct their medical concerns. However even some of my best friends I have still remain patients of the same doctor for multiple years without ever learning how to get healthy and fit.

Their doctor still treats them with the same or more of the same prescription drug company products all these years. One friend in particular has had a major heart ailment for over 25 years but still has retained the same doctor for all those years.

If you truly want to know how to live healthy and learn ways to stay healthy it's not likely you are going to find out from the typical conventional doctor. So as mentioned earlier, you must seek out a doctor who is qualified to set up an alternative medicine program for you.

I found a very informative website of a naturopathic doctor that I advise you to look at. There's also a video where he was interviewed that is very informative also. Click here to go there. Get the true facts there and also on my website as well where you will find many wellness ideas to implement.
