In healthcare today, there are more choices than ever before. Are you open to alternative health options, or do you stick with what you grew up with (North America) and have come to know as Western Medicine?
My opinion is that our health care system should be called "sick care." There is little to no focus on prevention. We have been trained to go for check ups so that they can look for illness and disease, and if such is found we are prescribed medications for it. Or we wait until there is a problem and then seek out medical advice. A band-aide solution in my opinion. Why does it seem like people are not getting better after a diagnosis? All that seems to happen are just more interventions. Surgery, drugs, and tests...
What do you think would happen if suddenly everyone on the planet stopped taking their medication? It should be no surprise that their health problems and symptoms would still be there. We are drowning out the messages the body is giving us, kind of like throwing a mat over a hole in your living room floor. The body tells us that something is not right because it wants and needs to heal. In order for that to happen, we need to provide the correct ingredients or materials the body needs. The problem? Most people aren't even aware that there is a choice, and that other options are available!
The most helpful solution is to identify what is causing the issue(s) in the first place. Are you getting optimal nutrition? Are you mainly eating a well balanced diet or processed, nutrient-poor food? Are you stressed out, or happy and fulfilled? Consider the things the body requires in order to be healthy.
After all, we are made up of trillions of cells. Those cells need the right fuel (i.e., nutrients) in order to perform their daily functions. At the cellular level your body DOES know what to do. But your cells can't do their jobs if their energy supply is blocked and their fuel source is poor. So in this case it is your health that suffers the consequences.
What would happen with your car if you were putting water in your gas tank instead of fuel? What about if your battery was only partially connected? Your body is no different! Are you getting optimal levels of nutrients? Junk food and processed foods are lacking nutrients (that is why it has a long shelf life in many cases) and are the wrong fuel source for your cells. Nature has it right - consume natural foods more. And, your stress levels and emotions are the two things that block your energy flow. What are you doing for management of that?
Our body performs amazing functions on a daily basis all on it's own without our needing to think about it. Miraculous, really, when you think about it. Here's a thought - what happens when you cut yourself? You don't need to plan the healing of that cut because your body knows exactly what to do to take care of it.
Once healing is under way, what would happen if you picked that scab every day? Would you heal then? When we cover our symptoms with drugs, and surgery, etc. it is similar to picking a scab. Why? Because we are not changing what we are doing, and if we don't change what we are doing we are going to keep getting the same results. It is time for us to realize that maybe our Western doctors don't have all the answers. Many of them are admitting that. We NEED to look at doing something different. We must find what it is that is preventing us from healing.
Did you know that Type II Diabetes and Heart Disease are reversible? I didn't know that until a few years ago. Nothing is irreversible in the body so long as it is living. It simply needs the right means to be able to heal. Your role as your body's rightful owner is to find those solutions! To find what your body is lacking or needing - whatever the case is for you as an individual.
Dr. Ray Strand, author of Healthy for Life has over 50 documented cases of reversing Type II Diabetes simply by eating a Low Glycemic diet. Dr. Dean Ornish, author of The Spectrum, has helped people reverse their heart disease and given people who were sent home to die new leases on their lives. Three simple steps 1. meditate daily, 2. exercise 30 min/day, and 3. dietary changes (fruits/veggies). Other results are a return to normal blood pressure, increased energy levels, and more.
Please do yourself a favour and don't listen if you are told your condition is incurable. Incurable simply means curable from within. Most people today want it easy! Right? That is, to go and get their diagnosis, get their medication so they can sit back and say "This is my life." I want to tell you that is a cop-out, and that you have a bigger purpose here.
We have bought in and listened to Western medicine and the media and it has disempowered us. I am here to tell you that there is a solution to every problem, but you must be looking for it in order to find it! I am not here to tell you that it is always easy, and that it will happen over night (you didn't get sick over night - in most cases it happened over many years). It may take some time, persistence and trying this and trying that until you get it right for you. One step leads to the next, and you must start somewhere if you want to make any type of progress!
The biggest piece that has been left out of the equation in Western Medicine is the fact that everything is energy! If science has already proven this, why are we not looking here? The focus is on the physical and physiology of the body. What about the mind-body connection? There is getting to be more and more research on stress and the ill effects on the body, but there is still the old-school thinking that you come for a diagnosis and they give you your medicine and you are supposed to go away and get better.
Well, it isn't working and it is time for us to wake up to reality. It is OUR responsibility as individuals to find what works for us.
There are so many options out there! You can check them out and see if they work for you. EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique,) an amazing therapy and form of stress relief gets results quickly and effectively. BodyTalk is another holistic therapy that takes into account the energy systems of the body. Acupuncture is Chinese Medicine that works with chi (energy) and the channels in the body. If there are blockages in the chi there will be health issues.
Lacking in Western Medicine is the focus on prevention. How about looking at the root cause of disease and starting there? Do you realize that research has proven that 95-98% of all disease is caused by stress? Interesting fact isn't it?
I recently have discovered that I have food intolerances, and have had to avoid certain foods as they cause severe intestinal discomfort. I am totally open to alternative therapies and have seen amazing results which I wasn't getting through Western Medicine.
Conclusion:
If you want:
- total health
- healthy body weight
- youthful vitality,
they will come naturally if you live a balanced life unique to you. Your Relationships, Finances, Career, and Health must all be balanced. Your Truth is within you. You must seek out what works for you and what makes sense to you. The other thing that I must tell you, is you must seek out what your purpose is - to find what makes you happy, fulfilled, and what makes your heart sing! When each of us perfects our own individual piece of the puzzle true health, happiness, and fulfilment is the result.
