What Your Doctor Won’t Tell You

The battles between the bigwigs of the pharmaceutical industry and their insatiable lust for greater revenue had created a new age of witch hunt for all those little league players wanting to promote a natural remedy that has been useful even before the miracle pill was invented. And to make matters worst for all these businesses engaging in the art of selling natural remedies, they were regulated by the law to pass the ” No Therapeutic Claim ” label, like saying to us, the buying public, that you are free to choose this newfangled stuff that doesn’t really promise a cure. It’s like saying, ” You are free to buy at your own risk… and don’t ever tell us that we didn’t warn you..”

People in all walks of life have, at one time, experienced being sick. Most likely, the doctors have given them a list of prescription pills to buy at the nearest drug store. Sounds familiar? You just take the Pro’s word for it, as you pop those colorful bead-like stuff into your mouth, hoping that you’ll wake up feeling fine the next day. Sometimes, just for curiosity, you may even try researching the pros and cons of these medicines given to you. Not many of these Md’s will give you an ” alternative ” option unless you ask them to. The reason for this is that these natural remedies just lack scientific research and facts to back up its claim -or, so the proper authorities handling this issue would say.

There are various reasons for finding alternative remedies, which is especially rampant in third world countries where the cost of an over-the-counter pill would mean a day’s meal. Research might even tell you the ” placebo effect ” theory on taking medicines to feel well. In the end, it would come down to the psychological factor that makes a medicine effective. We even hear a lot of miracle stories where a patient is diagnosed to be dying from cancer and just got well, much to the utter fascination of the doctors who are supposed to treat this person in the first place.

Ever wondered why you’re supposed to be taking the ” right ” stuff and yet, still feeling like this very thing is poisoning your very body? Sometimes, you even wonder that perhaps, your doctor is keeping you sick than making you alright. In the end, does it just come down to business?

Take for example the simple dilemma of having a lower-back pain. A medical practitioner would prescribe you all those pain-relievers that you can buy to alleviate your ache. You might even be considered for follow-up checks, diagnostic tests, and physical therapies. You won’t be told at your first visit to give acupuncture a try, even if this ancient Chinese therapy really works, and that no one has really died from it. Pop this question up and you will be told of the risk of getting infections.. to some side effects of the process. It even could be pricey for you. Yet, this treatment has survived the ages and surely, it did wonder in balancing the ” QI ” ( chi ) or energy flowing in a person’s body. If it worked then, why not now?

The sad truth is that there are hundreds more of remedies without drugs which are deliberately being kept from us, or if not, we are being dissuaded to use them totally. You won’t even hear names making it big from those people researching and promoting natural remedies. Can you even name one famous Chiropractor? ( I guess none )

Reading an article on the 10 Things Your Doctor Won’t Tell You, item number one did shocked me. All my life, I haven’t encountered a doctor who will tell me that taking prescription medication can shorten my lifespan. After all those countless pill-popping, I wonder how many minuses do I already have on my lifeline.

In the end, health is not only a state of physical being, but of our mental, emotional and spiritual self. Surely, everything comes down to what we believe in and our faith in the choices we make. Your key to health is closer at nature and all you have to do is find the best, natural options to keep you living your life to the max.
