In the realm of illness and medical treatments, in which sick people are encouraged to hand over their bodies, minds and rights to other people... referred to as "physicians" (definition) ...for the purpose of being helped or cured, a huge problem has become apparent: People are being hurt in the process. Sadly, in some cases, this damage is being accepted as "part of the deal." Many people seem to feel they have no choice but to do what they are told: They are well trained to 'believe', but they have not been well 'informed.' They have been deceived and damaged by 'omission' of information. They have been set up as future patients, instead of set on a path of better health and longer life. Instead of giving away all of our power, we can retain the power of choosing, and do the work to inform ourselves about our options: There are often several other ways to not only relieve the symptom, but to begin to change the body's ability to handle the next assault! It is a concious decision to take care of the body BEFORE it needs so much help that we run to someone with expensive drugs! Sounds a lot like prevention! Prevention of illness!...Prevention of symptoms! It's true! By repairing, and/ or, removing the root cause, and by strengthening the body's immune system, we can prevent many other illnesses and never experience many other symptoms! A happy case of knowing what you are missing! If this sounds to good to be true, don't read anymore of this page, because what is coming next is even more mind boggling! The long list of diseases we are constantly worried about, appear to be disconnected. However, their root causes are united by our abuse of our bodies through nutritional imbalances, deficiencies and toxins. It turns out that the gut has been a target of abuse, an area of development for disease and a deficient immune system response! We can "run our car into the ground" by poor maintenance, not enough oil changes, and scrimping on repairs, and then go buy another new one! Or, we can maintain and repair the only one we shall ever own! (A discussion of replacement of body parts isn't covered in this area!) :O) There are choices sometimes not offered to us in traditional medical environments. These offices and hospitals are populated by people educated in traditional medical environments, which are supported by pharmaceutical companies! It's an entire industry, and it has become so impressed upon our minds by advertising and large complexes, and even the terms used, like 'drug store,' that it is not surprising that we feel there is no other choice! Hopefully, this site, and others like it, will help us begin to learn about natural health support...Information that shows us how the natural world of plants, enzymes, vitamins and minerals, etc., can remove "blocks," support immune system strengthening, and increase the immune system's capability to heal the body! We need to forgive ourselves and those before us for having forgotten: They have been distracted, and so have we! Too often, people are not generally being given information that will empower them to take care of themselves by doing what will allow and support their own body full of amazing cells to cure them, and prevent future health problems! Fortunately, there are health care professionals, like chiropractic doctors and osteopaths, who have chosen to include the multitude of wellness practices in the care of patients. They choose to do only what doesn't carry harm along with the treatment! It may take a little (or a lot) more time, but the result is the elimination of the root cause, no harmful side effects to experience or deal with, and a much healthier body! Some also spend much time educating patients, as well as those who aren't, on how to go about getting better and staying well! Does your doctor do any of that? Ask your doctor. Listen to the response. Will you please let us know if your doctor is one of these special, caring informed people, as part of our encouragement mission? Email us at editor@thinkscapes.com. We will contact you about publishing the information on our site. The root cause of this apparent contradiction between purpose and result will be taken up in another article. But we should begin to admit that a large part of the problem is caused by symptom treatment instead of root cause treatment. Here's an example: A person feels nausea and a headache. After a 'decision tree' inspection, and perhaps a urine test, the symptoms and this data screens for inflammation and infection. If symptoms correlate with one or another large list of possibilities, rather than do an expensive set of tests,we may instead get a prescription for a broad spectrum antibiotic, based on the probabilities and the ease with which to generally treat the symptoms without looking for the specific set of causitive factors. We can become aware of these causitive factors, but we can't avoid all of them! What we can do is make much better choices of what we do to support our own body's immune system, and eliminate many of the choices that take the immune system down to a point where it has a lot of trouble not displaying symptoms, and takes a lot of time to come from behind to makes us function in the well zone again! The root cause could be much simpler, or it could be much more complicated. Sometimes, we can over-exert ourselves with exercise or work: Our busy day leads us to a candy machine, and we don't drink any water (coke is not water :O) )for 6 hours: It is winter or spring, and there are high levels of allergens in the air, not to mention the normal amount of pollution we are dealing with. We begin to feel rundown and tired, we eat comfort food, and basicallly forget how to even spell 'exercise' or 'fun activity!' This happens more than it doesn't, and we stress the system that would naturally like to keep us feeling well! It reacts to allergens in the air more strongly than when we are rested up and have eaten food that is supportive of our health.....We wonder if it's just allergies, or if we have a cold, or the beginnings of the flu! Appointments are made for two reasons: Symptoms make us miserable and we cannot afford to be sick. We may even have what we think of as "good medical coverage," although that term is an oxymoron in terms of what this visit can cost, financially and healthwise! More than likely, we have not the least bit trained ourselves to take a few minutes and assess our own situation for root cause scenarios, and we have little idea of how the body works for us as a whole! We have given our power away to those who too often have not been trained to help us without hurting us in the process, who definitely have a vested interest in our continuing to seek them out for help...and who therefore have no interest in educating us about how to stay away and be healthier! :O) If you identify with these statements, you know how common this is. It turns out that antibiotics (anti: against, bio: life) are killers of microorganisms, and they do not discriminate between the good ones and the bad ones! Our gut is full of healthy bacteria when support the development of a healthy immune system! Bacteria from dirty things and viruses from other people, all wind up in our gut, where they attempt to reproduce an take over! In a healthy gut, the battle is short, and the outcome is good for the gut owner! In an abused gut, the battle is long, there is much misery, work and money are lost! And there are those doctor bills and prescription costs because you have to pay for emergency measures to get you well and back to work! Oh, and unfortunately, your gut is worse than ever as far as it's ability to fend off the next attack from who know's where: Remember, the antibiotics killed the microorganisms, both the good ones, and the bad ones! How many news stories about older famous people have you read where they relapsed with pneumonia, that they got while they were in the hospital for something else? People get pneumonia in the hospital for a reason; It just seems like it's natural, because it is frequent. It's not natural. What IS natural is replacing the healthy bacteria with what are called pro-biotics (definition) ...Ask at the health food store: Many to pick from, all beneficial! Of course, the best case is to not use the anti-biotics unless it is an emergency! **************************************** Here are links to several famous researchers who have tried to contribute to human health, in spite of the backlash and repression they experienced: Dr. Matthias Rath's News and Activism web site Dr. Matthias Rath web site page about the pharmaceutical business with disease Dr. Linus Pauling's cardiovascular cure and prevention information Dr. Linus Pauling's cardiovascular cure and prevention The Burzynski Cancer Breakthrough **************************************** If you read the articles above, you now know that this is a battle...some say a war! You now know that air pollution, and adulterated food... (genetically modified)... or (highly questionable additives)... the ever presence of white sugar and white flour, and the flourided and chlorided public water supply... are a huge challenge to our health over the long term! We have been so poorly informed, for so long, in such an assault, we have come to think of it as normal: People expect to get sick, especially when they get older! This is avoidable but not through abusing prescription drugs! We have to find the excellent water sources, the local organic food sources, and drive 'clean' cars! We also need to clean and repair our bodies. and maintain them by making sure we take what we need in supplements to throw off these aggressive challengers until we can win the war with the corporations who pollute our environment. If you knew what some of us are finding out, you will if you read my site, you would see lots of evidence of this abuse by some of the powerful, multi-national corporations in this country. The government has not chosen to stop this. It's up to us. In a country where we think we are the government, this doesn't sound right, does it? Someone needs to be willing to make these difficult statements. Once you know more about how your body works for you, and how you can make choices that support those many activities, you can better treat, and even prevent problems of all kinds! More and more people have become aware of, and are interested in, educating themselves to understand more about their health, about where illness is from, and about how to treat... or better, prevent it! Click to Cartoons: Prevention vs. Emergency (Scroll down the cartoon page: Cute:O)) Want to know more about how to unwind yourself out of your health problems and maintain a healthy immune system? There are a number of clinical researchers with health breakthroughs which you can find online. Please don't be afraid to look into new information about health problems: The medical community at large is often lagging behind this research and information. We need to know all of the information, so we can be more than pawns to a system of power over the individual through the calculated withholding and meting out of vital information.
