Just remember one thing: The health care industry is big business.
Introduction
While herbal remedy sellers and alternative health practitioners have helped millions of people, they are still only prescribers of potions and pills.
We hear that this alternative health method is good and that herbal remedy will fix up this and that ailment. And in many cases they do. They say it works because they list scores of testimonials of happy customers who have been healed from their ailments.
And it's all true! We have no reason to doubt that person who had one foot in the grave with the other foot on a banana peel and was miraculously restored to health.
What you never see on a product sales page is testimonials from people who had adverse affects from Herbal Remedies and Alternative Health practitioners.
So if you are taking something that worked for your friend, but is not working for you, maybe you should try something else. If you are getting worse, you should do some research on the Internet by searching dangers of .. whatever herb or potion you are taking.
In many cases, it can be only one ingredient in that potion that is causing the adverse affect. The tricky part is to discover which ingredient your body does not like.
One Size Does Not Fit All
Please understand that I believe in Alternative Health, in particular
Health and Wellness, but it must be understood that one size does not fit all. Just because something works for one, is no guarantee that it will work for another.
In his book Eat Right For/4 Your Type, Dr. Peter J.D'Adamo
explains why one size does not fit all. He also explains why some things don't work for certain people and can even cause them to get worse.
For example, I used to read lots about what herbs and remedies are good to take for this and that ailment. The books and articles would say that only a small percentage of people "could" have adverse affects. Mistakenly, I never thought I could be one of those small percentage of people who should not take Alfalfa for example.
The mistake we make is to substitute mainstream potions and pills for so called herbal potions, pills and foods. By doing this, we are still only treating the effect without ever looking at the cause of our ailments.
What if the cause of our ailment is some food item in our existing diet? If this was true, all we would have to do is eliminate that particular item from our diet.
Think About This
The next time you see one of those 100 Birthday Celebrations on the News, listen carefully to the person that just turned 100 when the journalist asks them:
"What is the secret to your longevity?" To date, every time I heard this question answered, they always say that they never worry about anything!
There is enough evidence around today that explains how worry is a major factor which contributes to stress. Likewise, there is evidence that proves how stress causes acid levels in the body to rise which in turn can cause your physical body to get sick.
Conclusion
Don't get brainwashed by just one book, article or author.
During your quest for health and wellness, you should read material from many different authors from many fields with an open mind. You will soon see that many contradict each other, and at the same time are arrogantly self opinionated with their one-size-fits-all attitude.
While undergoing any Alternative Heath Treatment, Mainstream Health treatment, or taking herbal remedies, it could also be a good idea to consider meditation to help you de-stress and relax.
Know This - Since the beginning of civilization, the health care industry has been big business!
