Think Before You Medicate It is understandable when someone who is in pain reaches for medication to get relief. It is a mistake to believe that relief does not come with a price, and it is worthwhile to take a little extra effort to treat the pain naturally. Natural health care does not have side effects. Practitioners of natural health care seek to find and eliminate the cause of the pain and often get very good results. Science, Allergies and Natural Health One of the goals of this article is to reconcile scientific research with natural health approaches. It is sometimes a difficult task. All of the medical journals sell ads to drug companies and it should be obvious that economics help to determine what appears in the journals. But occasional natural health gems appear; they are usually small studies that can still be branded as “inconclusive”. The overall attitude of the journals seems to be, “My, isn’t this amusing. We will have to look into it someday.” More About Good Bacteria Normally you have between four and seven pounds of bacteria in your colon. Normal and well-balanced bacteria have many beneficial functions. Beneficial bacteria do the following: Produce vitamins like folic acid and B12. Nourish the lining of the colon by feeding on vegetable fiber and producing butyric acid. Adequate butyric acid levels reduce the chances for colon cancer. Inhibit harmful bacteria. Break down toxins. Headaches and Natural Health Care We know that there are side effects and dangers to drug therapy. Are there any safe alternatives to the medical approach to headaches? Safe, hands on therapies like chiropractic, acupuncture and even massage can offer the headache sufferer relief that is safe and free from side effects. But the Doctor Said My Thyroid Was Fine You’ve seen this patient; she (usually a she) is tubby, tired and depressed. Her hair is brittle, skin is dry and she can’t seem to lose weight no matter what she does. You look up hypothyroidism in the medical dictionary and her picture appears next to the two paragraph description of the condition. She cries for no reason, catches a lot of colds, her ankles swell and she is puffy under the eyes. You notice that the lateral third of her eyebrows is missing. She may or may not be taking antidepressants or statins. You suggest that her thyroid may the source of her problems and she says…well, you know what she says.
