One of the core principles in medicine is the Hippocratic oath, which states “First, Do No Harm.” This is why we trust our doctors. Their first promise is not to hurt us.
However, the over reliance of drugs as the solution to our problems is in direct opposition to this oath. All drugs prescribed today have lists of side effects. Many times, these side effects can be worse than the symptoms we are originally suffering, up to and including death. And this is why I no longer trust the allopathic medical community. Too much harm comes from their first treatment options.
Alternative medicine is a different boat. That’s not to say all the methods are 100% harmless, but you have a much better prognosis through working with the body’s natural processes than you do by introducing some foreign agent the human body has never encountered before. Several of my favorite and most effective methods include chiropractic, homeopathy, whole food nutrition and active meditation. I’ve used these with great effectiveness and success, whereas I’ve been more hurt than healed through my experiences with allopathic meds.
This is meant to be longer, as the full story is not told, but I’ll be moving in 2 days, so I should probably be packing instead of typing. 🙂
Hope you’re happy, healthy and doing well!
Namaste,
Lina
