If they claim that they are healing than why are there more disease now than ever before? Tell the believers in the modern medicine mix up to renounce this phony bilognie and take on the healing of the natural world. jahbless
OK, I'm not 100% sure what you just said.... But I have a friend that's interested in 'alternative' (or should I say 'traditional') medicine. She's licensed and practices aromatherapy and homeophy (SP), and has lots of contacts within the area.
There are more diseases than ever because we're getting better at finding them. In the same way hundreds of species of mammal havent randomly evolved in the past 2 hundred years, we went out and explored the world and found them. Secondly, and more specifically to humans, there are evolved diseases (MRSA being the most famous/infamous) that have come around as hybrids due to human activity. Bacteria also change faster than more complex species, though i guess that would make little difference as old ones probably die out at the same rate.
look at cancer for example. spending an ungodly amount trying to find the cure, but we neglect the causes. We are still destroying the Ozone, Polluting the air, poisoning our food and drinking water, increasing stress in our daily lives while decreasing relaxation and creative expression. I can't say for a fact thats what causes cancer but I feel in my heart that those things play a major role in it. I'm a certified massage therapist. When the body is touched it lights up, like a light bulb being plugged into a socket. There are huge healing benefits with massage. I am also a big advocate for yoga as prevention to disease. There are numerous way's it aides in that respect.
One of the major problems with "Western Medicine" is that it looks at treating the symptom rather than the cause. I am a perfect example of that. I work with computers. My wrist's started hurting often. I went to two doc's. Both said I was developing carpal tunnel and gave me a wrist brace and anti inflammatory's. Things got worse with my wrist's in the next few weeks. I went back. The next steps were cortizone shots, which is basically just for pain, like hitting your head against the wall until you get a headache, then taking an aspirin and continueing to hit your head (both doctors used this analagy, lol). And after that my option was surgery. SO . . . I did my own research. A quick look on amazon.com, google.com, and a trip to my local bookstore and less than 24 hours later I had a book on RSI for computer users (Repetetive Strain Injury). Basically I was right in that diagnosis. My muscles in my back have extreme tight spots from poor posture and ergonomics for so many years. these knotts in my muscles pinch nerves that originate in my spine and go all the way to my hands. Thus the pinching of the nerve causes the pain in the wrist, called pain deferral. So when I go to the doctor they immediately mis diagnose me -- thinking that I have problems in my wrist since thats where the pain is. Thats just one example. You find this reactive, treat the symptom not the cause philosophy in an array of other health issues. We need to look at the body as a whole, rather than as segmented, fragmented, seperate peices.
At least some of the increase in some diseases would (quite ironically) be due to the advances in medicine (and public sanitation) in modern times. When people used to die in their 40s, diseases of "old age" weren't all that common. Same for diseases with long latency periods, like heart disease and many cancers. Now that people aren't dying young from simple infections and such, they live long enough for other diseases to appear.
We are nothing more then a machine. Just as a brand new car out of a factory has the potention to break after 1 mile of driving, our bodies do as well...
I was a pharmacy tech for a few years and the scripts for anti-biotics flowing through was staggering. Continuous use of anti-biotics creates strains of infections that are immune to the properties of the medicine. Thus creating SUPER infectious strains. Extremly dangerous. And Yogi is correct in mis-diagnosis...there are more and more doctors being cranked out,who in turn spend less and less time with their patients and don't take the time to LEARN, they want to breeze you through then "NEXT"... Alot of our present day malady's can be traced to diet and back problems, inactivity, pollution and other numerous things that we can do something about. Living as naturally as you can, watching your diet, eatting the 14 super-foods as much as possible, getting rid of parisites,cutting out sugar and white flour, more fiber...are all things we can do to help ourselves. Not to mention enviroment... teepi
some guy from my town (stockton/lodi) just found a way to prevent premature birth. it was in the newspaper.
