There Is Help With Health – And You Can Take It Back!
It is common today not to question the doctors and established medicine. Get a cold or headache and most will hardily endorse the idea of rushing to the doctor, or gulping down a handful of pills. It seems that the true cause of illness is so under-addressed these days. We live in a system that was designed, and profits by, the dealing with symptoms - not the causes. Healing comes in three basic types.
1. Allopathic Medicine: a method of treating disease by creating remedies that produce effects which differs from those of the disease itself.
2. Holistic medicine: is used to treat the person's whole state
3. Orthomolecular medicine: An alternative, but basic, system of "medicine" that prevents and promotes the body's curing of disease by with vitamins, amino acids, fatty acids, trace minerals, electrolytes, and other natural substances.
As to the first one: this describes the bast majority of what we see advertised on the main networks on TV. These are often contained in the "Ask your Doctor" type commercials which are so prevalent. This type of medicine is mainly masks the symptoms disease. Generally the diseases are "named" and "cClassified" and then a treatment is offered to handle the manifestations. (If you are interested you can download an excellent article, "the Disease Naming Game" - see below)
I, and many, prefer to handle my health by holistic and orthomolecular means.
There are, of course, life changes that we must do to reduce the dependence upon standard medicine. These can be done without much effort and if one makes these changes one will see some wonderful results. They are not always totally easy but I can tell you what my husband and I did. These changes have improved our health, measurably and substantially:
1. This was a BIG one, we changed what we ate at home. We went to eating mostly organic foods. We normally had been getting our food at the large discount houses. We ate the standard, inexpensive meats. Both of us, especially Ken, began to show signs of edema (swelling). Much of this was a result of the growth hormones which we were ingesting in the meat we ate. (There is so much to know - see other articles on eating meat, vegetarianism, carbs, etc.) We have found, in our research, that eating meat (good, healthy, lean meat) is the best source of essential proteins. So by changing our source of meat (a farm that produces naturally grown beef and other products) we completely changed our situation. Both of leaned out and lost the edema. When we started to make these changes I researched where to buy our food. Publix has a great area for organic vegetables. You will notice though that you can only get current fruits or vegetables when they are in season. Publix also has an organic meat section. The meat there doesn't have any hormones, pesticides or additives. But the meat is not from grass feed animals. Grass feed animals are the best source of meat to have. We also get meat from a farm that does have grass feed animals. If you want the best meat possible, find a local farm that has grass feed cows and chickens.
2. We started buying all organic shampoos, toothpaste, dish soap, laundry soap. Basically anything we put on our bodies we went organic. Skin is the biggest organ. Why put something on it you wouldn't put in your mouth?
3. After seeking and trying many vitamins and other nutrients to make up for the lackings in everyday food we found (actually stumbled upon almost by accident) a group of researchers which had researched and created their own formulas (based on Nobel Prize winning scientific (and undisputed) research). This group has a story which is beyond belief and is unique to any that I have ever seen. When I read of the success of these folks and began my own research, I was sold that this was a way to really take responsibility for our own health. These folks had given up on standardized medicine - and for good reason. Their diseases had been named and they had been placed on medicine and surgery protocols that made them sicker. Eventually, they found one another and banded together to find solutions to their various health issues - and began to learn of the commonality of cause. My husband and I joined this group in 2007 and have considered it a life changing move. There is much more data regarding this group which you can find on our website.
We take our vitamins and supplements in powered form - mixed in water. We've done this since 2007. This is the absolutely best way to fully absorb the ingredients.
Nobel Laureate winners such as Dr. Linus Pauling, Otto Warburg, Dr. Keith Brewer and others (including Louis Ignarro who found the direct link to high blood pressure and lack of N.O.) won their distinctive prices because what they found could not be disputed. It was, and still is today, true. The fact that it is undisputed mean much to us. You will not find AMA journals disputing it. The basis of their research is sound. Their research was, actually, the foundation of "Orthomolecular" medicine which is the study of health through nutrition at the cellular level. These protocols (and formulas) give the body what it needs to heal itself. We realized that becoming educated in this (not doing the research ourselves but learning from others who did) was the only way to take control over our own health.
After the 3 years taking these formulas (inexpensive and simple) we are leaner than ever, Ken's blood pressure has fallen well into normal ranges and we see evidence every day of how wonderful we feel. Actually, it almost becomes common place and we forget about it. No pains, no joint pains, non of the aging issues which creep into everyone's lives as their bodies loose the basic ingredients to health.
