“I don’t like to take drugs, but....” If you’ve ever spoken these words then you’re part of a growing number of people who see a disconnect between drug induced side-effects and the familiar words of Hippocrates for the treatment of disease: “First, do no harm.”
Does natural cure take longer than drug treatment? It’s a valid question from those of us who live in a hurry and want things to happen yesterday. But it’s a little like asking “Why don’t we just put a band aid on that broken arm?” Drug treatments often work like band-aids, covering symptoms and curing nothing. Maybe the question should not be which does the fastest job, but which does the best job.
Pharmaceuticals have a huge and important place in the medical care we’ve come to depend upon. They can alleviate symptoms, provide relief, control the growth of diseases, and prolong life. But these same drugs, which dominate the consumer psyche through highly targeted media saturation, often leave a legacy of harmful side-effects.
Cortisone, for example, is used to suppress inflammation. Unfortunately, in suppressing inflammation cortisone also suppresses the body’s ability to heal, detoxify, and protect itself. Even though cortisone is able to give pain relief from joint inflammation etc., it also breaks down the soft connective tissues which support the joints. So one can see how the use of cortisone is ultimately counterproductive for long lasting joint health. And that’s only part of the damage cortisone brings. Other side-effects include loss of bone calcium, water retention, suppression of the immune system and adrenal glands, increased risk of fungal, bacterial, and viral infections, and raised blood sugar levels, to name a few. So when you turn to cortisone injections for pain management you need to be aware of the larger health picture and the ways you are setting yourself up for more problems than you started out with.
Natural cures, by contrast, work quietly behind the scenes in harmony with your immune system, leaving behind a much different legacy... a smaller footprint, if you will. Increasingly, people are discovering the huge benefits of no drug side-effects as well as lasting cure through alternative treatments and home remedies.
Sometimes a combination of pharmaceuticals along with natural treatments is what is needed for optimum health, but sadly there are people who don’t know about natural cures and simply take the first drug which is placed before them, regardless of harmful side-effects. Don’t be that person! Arm yourself with information about all the healing modalities. Expand your horizons to embrace the many treatments available to you through natural means.
