so surely we can't abandon drugs. western medicine only been around a few hundreds of years..compared to native american indians, to china, treatment of herbs and long needles..ect...bottom line is..our bodies created by GOD..has it own nature to fix/heal itself. so when something isn't function like it ought, it logical to see..sickness or disease to manifest, from a dysfunctional organ...let not leave out intake of nutrtition or harmful chemical (toxic).
anyway, kevin had mention about these things.
i myself had notice, certain sugar in cerals or pastry, made my joints aches..so void the food..no pain, anymore.

I agree that there are many natural things that are helpful, and the modern western diet causes many diseases, however, if I have cancer I am not looking at an herb to cure me. There must be a balance. God gave us the things that can be used for treatment, but he also gave us a mind to find better things.

Drugs and pharmacology derives from the study of naturally occurring compounds in plants. Those who say herbs are ineffective are simply uneducated.
Herbology was supplanted due to higher profits from patented medicine. It has never been about being more effective.
However Trudeau is not someone I follow in this industry. What he's all about has been proven in a court of law.

I definitely think there's alot of truth in the whole argument for herbs. I do believe in their healing power and have used them myself & for my children many times. I think as with alot of things man always try to out-do God. Not to say that some modern medicines are not of God. I believe He also gives us the wisdom to be able to do some incredible things: reattach limbs, reconstructive surgery, all kinds of transplants, to only name a few. I believe that everyone needs to use the good sense God gave them in making wise choices. If we would eat and exercise the way we should we wouldnt have as many problems as we do as a whole. I always believe that what God created is best. I believe real eggs are better than the fake ones; real butter is better than margerine, real sugar is better than the imitations..but all things within measure. But God also created us to be able to study, learn, and invent some pretty amazing things! Just be careful, read the labels, and learn to make educated decisions! If it causes more harmful side effects than what you had wrong to begin with - I probably wouldnt take it! I laugh at the commercials for the medicines you can take for something not life threatening with life threatening side effects...and I say to myself, who would take that stuff?

Don't know who Kevin Trudeau is, but in the Bible, it says there is a tree that has Healing in it's Leaves.
Yes, Medicine is of GOD.
GOD gives us Doctors, and Pretty Nurses too (all of them!).
If it wasn't for Doc.'s alot of Children of GOD would go home early!!!
And, Doc.'s and Nurses are sometimes more righteous when it comes to Healing then we are.
GOD Hates evil and wickedness, sickness and disease.
Jesus took all of that too, By HIS Stripes we are Healed---but sometimes it is hard to RECIEVE your Healing by FAITH--so Recieve what you can by Faith and go see a Doctor too!!!
Did you know that alot of Miracles of GOD in the Healing Area, is just GOD manipulating TIME and causing the Body to just Heal Faster?
Yep!
Hope this helps, herbs are good, aspirin comes from tree bark, GOD is Good and put GOOD THINGS in the Earth.
Ditto.........there are Tree's on Planet Heaven with Healing in Their Leaves too!! (not physical healing either)
Imagine that!

Modern medicines would not exist if they weren't superior to herbs and "natural" medicines. If those things actually worked, there wouldn't have been any impetus to even find newer medicines.

I don't trust Kevin Trudeau.
But from my own experience: natural medicine and modern medicine can do more together than either alone. I don't know why doctors don't see that, and use BOTH.

True, but our world isn't pristine like it was in Biblical times. Our soils are depleted, our food is full of pesticides, the oceans, rivers and streams are polluted, and our poultry and livestock are fed hormones.

Kevin is a huckster and scam artist. I like his books, and think he is about half right. Half right is good enough for me.
