I quit smoking with the help of a drug called Chantix and that caused me to really get sick. I ended up on 11 different medications to combat the side effects of each pill prescribed. I got so fed up that I threw out all medication except for hormone pills(which I intend to throw out eventually as well), and I turned to supplements in order to restore my health.
Believe it or not, I got so much better that I wished I could tell more people about this. I breathe better, I sleep better, I got rid of athritis pain, I got rid of an eczema, I got rid of bowel problems and I got rid of a kidney problem---all of that by taking a supplement.
Why are so many people afraid to use natural medicine instead of prescription drugs? I heard a report on tv this morning that ALL diseases are caused by a deficiency in nutrition and I also found out that a lot of nutrition needfed for the body to heal itself is not consumed in the western world. A friend of mine did combat diabetes naturally!!

I would suggest you go to a good reputable Homeopath, nothing cures you better then Homeopathy. Or post your symptoms here in detail, exactly the way you feel them. Remember Homeopathy treats the patient not the disease or disorder.
Take Care and God Bless You.

Unfortunately, it all boils down to money. We have been brainwashed as a society that if you get sick, you go to a doctor and doctors prescribe prescription dugs which usually have side effects that lead to . . . more prescription dugs! It is a vicious cycle! There is a very good website "www.NewsTarget.com" that is worth taking a look at. AND most people are not willing to do any research into alternative medicine. Even when people think they are taking the right "natural products" they can be mislead by deceptive labels because food companies can get away with using all sorts of non-natural processes and chemical ingredients in a food product that they claim is all natural. Here is the link to an article that I think you may enjoy: http://www.newstarget.com/021922.html
Congratulations on your effort! Keep telling people, there ARE alternatives to "western medicine" and only by teaching others will this cycle be stopped. Please feel free to email me with the results of your research :-)

Excellent, Anonym! I believe it all comes down to money and thus power. The FDA, physicians and the pharmaceutical companies have an unbelievable monopoly on our health care system. They are all in bed together so to speak. Drug sales reps make six figures. Doctors can accept bribes, gifts and paybacks from drug companies. Look around your doc's office. How many pens, clocks, brochures, notepads and nicknacks have a drug logo? Many FDA officials also have financial ties to the pharmaceutical companies. We're talking BIG money here.
Most physicians are very quick to discredit vitamins, holistic treatments, herbs and supplements. Because there is no profit for them to recommend such things! Think about it...a supplement company is not going to come into your doctor's office, buy them a catered lunch and give them cash for using their products.
What's more, most insurance companies give physicians a bonus for getting as many patients in and out of their office as quickly as possible. That makes it easier to just whip out the prescription pad, send you along and move on to the next guy.
I am not condemning all physicians. In an emergency situation I would want all western medicine has to offer. But for anything chronic, like the conditions that you mentioned I would turn to a more holistic approach.
I am so glad you discovered the true way to health, Anonym! I hope you continue on your healthy journey!

I was almost killed by chemo few years ago during treatment of lung cancer, later I tried alternative treatment that combines Western medicine and Chinese medicine. I have survived so far against the prediction of my western doctors.
I believe both western medicine and Chinese medicine have their limitation. But combining the two, we may find the solution to most of the diseases. I just wish the doctors and medical researchers can open up their minds.

Most people have been brainwashed to believe that doctors are God and know everything. Doctors know all about prescription drugs because that is the field in which they are qualified. However they are not knowledgeable in the field of natural medicine.
You are one of the few people who have learned that the hard way but most people will never ever learn that doctors are not infallible and that you are often better off without them.
If you try and educate people you are likely to be ridiculed because people are too brainwashed to change their belief that doctors are God.

Good question. I think the media and culture in this country just condition us to believe that we NEED medicine (while they're profiting off our sickness)
