When we feel sick, we expect a cure and a pill. But doctors are looking to integrate more natural remedies into there treatment regimens. So is alternative medicine the cure?
unlike the posters aboves advice, many doctors are including alternative medicine and herbs into their practice and have for years. both my females doctors did..one over 20 years ago and both got a 4.0 in college, are very smart and sensitive to their patients needs. The poster is back in the dark ages saying to change doctors.
Unfortunately few doctors do this and many are afraid to as some have lost their licenses over this as the AMA does not wish to go this way except nominally and only because the consumer is demanding it.
The problem is because we do not believe we create our illnesses due to the decadent lifestyles we live (smoking, drugs, junk foods, too much salt, sugar, lack of exercise, worry, out of control stress and so forth, we expect the doctors to fix us back up with a pill..this requires very potent drugs which often require the use of other drugs and often does more harm than good in the long run.
Much alternative health works by working synergistically to help the body heal itself by stopping the bad habits and starting new ones.
Many people do not want to do this…they want to feel great and live however they want..
Alternative health is a very broad field encompasses many aura and types. some work great, some don’t and some work on one part of our health and some work on the whole person.
Herbs are in many cases superior as they are safe and designed to heal our bodies by nature or our creator while drugs are generally non-organic, man made chemicals the body accepts but at harm to it so herbs are safer..Just a tiny handful of people die from herbs while tens of thousands die from drugs and doctor errors etc.
Also drugs create the symptom but herbs go to the root cause that is causing diverse symptoms the doctor calls by various disease names, thus the herb tends to while slower in the long run fix more problems we have than just the one we took it for.
You can expect alternative health to not be as useful for emergency situations like a limb cut off in an accident or something like that but herbs to do better with chronic diseases
You can expect if you know what you are doing and do a comprehensive multi part program combing things like a vegan diet, exercise, detoxing., cleansing the elimination organs, improving water and air, getting sunshine, taking herbs, doing affirmations and stress reduction, hydrotherapy, stopping bad habits, getting counseling or learning to love and be happier, etc all done together in an intense health building program to cure things doctors cannot like AIDS, pancreatic and lung cancers, neurological disease like ms, heart and circulatory problems, diabetes and terminal illnesses.
Yes, natural health can certainly be a cure..that is not to say once in a while you won’t maybe need a doctor but most things I have found we can fix ourselves..when we discover we cause many of our illnesses with our lifestyles, we can be empowered to discover that if we can make our self sick by living badly, we can make ourselves better and heal by living good.
Generally, although doctors may be discovering the good things about alternative health and wanting to jump on the consumer bandwagon and thus incorporating alternative health into their stuff is good for them, it is not s good for you or alternative health as allopathic drugs etc can make it harder to recover naturally due to the harm of those things they often use.
IMO there is a place for both..I was in a car wreck a while back and feel in that case I needed doctors but generally I am able to cure myself with herbs etc better with herbs, supplements etc.
what is needed to make herbs and alternative health work better is education, people making their own organic tinctures (or finding a superior tincture supplier) and forgoing herbs in a capsule that are conventionally grown, understanding that herbs and foods work best in a comprehensive health building regime, doing most of their grocery shopping at natural food stores, farmer’s markets, from small organic farmers and their own gardens., doing different cleanses one a season, thinking more positively and loving themselves and others better and learning to stop hating and forgive.
this may be more complicated and difficult than going to a doctor and saying doctor heal me with a pill but it gains more long lasting results, saves lots of money and worry and gives us payoffs we can see and be proud of..also for every person who takes better care of themselves, health costs go down
It may not be a cure, but lots of natural remedies work just as well as or better than medicinal alternatives. I actually stopped taking pain medication, cold medicine, etc a few years ago, and I’ve been much healthier and happier, even through sickness, so it does help a little.

edit to address personal and insulting attack by the poster below who mentions my name and says "Janie can cure every major disease with herbs. My question is then, why isn’t she curing everyone with AIDS, cancer, or MS? I guess she wants people to die agonizingly painful deaths…"
I never once said herbs are sufficient to cure a major disease, I stress a comprehensive health building program that has worked for hundreds of thousands over a combined eight decades of the life’s work of two healers who actually have clinical experience working with many dying and incurable patients. Furthermore, it is not me or them who healed the sick person; it was the patient themselves by realizing they created their disease in most cases and thus they can reverse it with sufficient changes
When someone changes the equation (average American + disease = equals standard prognosis) by changing one of the variables and becoming not the average American but one with superior health, they can change the outcome/prognosis.
If they are the average person, the doctor’s prognosis will be right on target; however, if they become someone who is not living the average American lifestyle, they can change the outcome or prognosis to survival or no more symptoms and so forth.
They and not the alternative adviser/doctor heal themselves by giving the amazing human body created with the schemata to be self healing if we do not get in the way with our smoking, drinking, junk food eating, stress, hate, lack of exercise, etc and give the body the things it needs to heal itself (as mentioned in my original answer–herbs, hydrotherapy, love, exercise etc).
Personally, I believe more in the innate wisdom of the body, nature, and God’s modalities and designs than a man with a degree. Certainly god knows more than man. Not to say these men and their modalities and drugs cannot help the sick, sometimes they do certainly, but they also do harm and if anything, medical history has a habit of discovering years later that they were wrong as new discoveries become available on both their treatments and nature’s cures etc. time and again they reversed what they once recommended. If one will take profit out of the equation and do research, I believe things would change for the better.
After Daniel feigned civility by emailing me to extract more info on my personal history, he now comes on here and makes personal attacks against me saying I want people to die agonizing and horrific deaths. Having been told I have a heart of gold and am kind by literally hundreds of people I had personal (not email) contact with and always going beyond the call of duty to help anyone in any crisis, pain, or event whenever God puts them in my path, I am the last person who wants people to suffer. I believe God wants me doing this work as he knows my intelligence, curiosity, willingness to give freely of my time, priorities in life and compassionate heart. I believe He lead me to this purpose/mission.
My chosen area of interest was not medicine in fact the only part of medicine I found interesting was childbirth when I once considered changing my major from teaching to nursing as there were no jobs in my field at the time and tons to be found in nursing but I did not have that interest except for childbirth or perhaps as a certified nurse midwife but I did not want to lose the years of college I had already and take the additional 6 years as I have not the inclination, time and my children needed me.
My chosen desire of life was to be a full time mother until my kids were near grown and after divorce and volunteering a lot in the schools to go into elementary school teaching as I felt it best used my talents and desires and abilities and now since I have time, I help people online and otherwise often donating 50 or more hours to this for free a day.
How is that wanting people to die? Even if I had the money to become a naturopath which I do not or I might, in my state where my grown children live, there are limits on what naturopaths are permitted to do and say? They must tow the allowable line which often means sticking to the small stuff.
Even in the medical field, doctors who go outside the norm often lose their medical license. for example, one doctor lost his merely for given an unapproved by the AMA vitamin b shot to his patients that was helping them etc.
Most with these ills he mentioned, either do not know they can be healed, do not do enough, are afraid to trust themselves, are too brainwashed that it cannot be cured, have unsupportive relatives that sabotage their programs, leave important parts out and pick and chose, cheat on their programs, are not intense enough etc but for those who have what it takes many have astounded their doctors by bringing in coughed up black tarry strands that turned out on biopsy to be the lung cancer, stopping their shaking with Parkinson’s or epileptic seizures, not needing to have their legs cut off, healing disease after disease and just flooring their doctors who were stunned and called it a miracle. Many have outlived their doctors who by the way often die young.
It is the patient’s job to heal themselves by being diligent and changing and it is the doctor’s job to educate them in way to prevent and reverse disease and even though I am not degreed, I am knowledgeable though 30 years of intense study and interest in this field and , I am attempting to educate people. I find most people are not willing to do what it takes to be well as it is not easy…and certainly not generally done with just an herb or vitamin.
if they follow the recommendation I or Schulze, Christopher and many other healers and authors advise, then they can be healed provided they are using good quality food and herbs and doing all the rest.
Very few are not curable but for for all of us there is a time to die and for some that is their time but hundreds of thousands plus have far outlived their prognosis some by over 5 decades. Both schulze and Christopher outlived their early death prognosis’ by decades and then taught others how to do it.
It is because of my heart, compassion and empathy and wanting people to avoid horrific deaths and suffering that I donate my time freely getting nothing back from it to helping others. I have recently spent over 200 hours helping someone and when I post here or elsewhere to someone seeking help in alternative health section or forums comprehensively to give the person as much info as I can..I always give to each question, my absolute all and a very comprehensive reply often spending one, two, or three hours on a single person. I do unto others in this regard making sure I give them the best I can and think a lot something on my answers or reedit as I think of new things I left out I know few read my answers due to the length but I want to be sure they have the info they need if that is all the contact I have to best help them.
Having long answers means they are usually at the bottom and are missed by many but a few sentences is not enough to get the info in this brain to the one in needs. I save them research that would take hours and which often is known by just a few. even though this likely cuts down on getting points. My objective is not points but trying to relieve suffering. I believe in the golden rule of do unto others and that is why I did not treat you as other regulars on here might.
I have in my real life bought herbs for people even though I am very poor and went without to help another and devoted countless hours and zeroxes etc to them.
He has a lot of nerve saying this and someday he will answer for judging someone whose heart he knows nothing about. When he begged me to reply in personal email and not judge him, I treated him with utmost kindness unlike he has me I do not wish further contact with him as I am most insulted at his cruelty and deficit of the golden rule towards me.
I asked a doctor basically the same question a few months ago. Alternative medicine is a huge trend and its spreading into modern medicine, so I asked if that legitimized alternative medicine. In his opinion, it does not prove anything one way or another. It just means that health insurance companies, doctors, and hospitals have realized that people want some degree of alternative medicine or "integrative" medicine as they call it. They know they can make money off of it so they sell you the meditation classes along with your chemo.
If they didn’t do that, some people would go get meditation elsewhere, which the hospital would see as losing potential business. As far as I know, conclusive evidence does not exist to say alternative medicine is better than modern medicine, or that it even works at all. I agree with the doctor on this one. Just because they’re selling it does not mean it works. They just don’t want to lose the extra business. In their eyes, meditation, vitamin pills, herbs, etc. cannot harm the patient and even though none of it will make the patient cured, it will give the patient some peace of mind that they are receiving such comprehensive care.
Side note, be suspicious of anyone that claims everything can be cured with simple treatments and no side effects. If something sounds too good to be true, then it probably is. Janie can cure every major disease with herbs. My question is then, why isn’t she curing everyone with AIDS, cancer, or MS? I guess she wants people to die agonizingly painful deaths…

its not always the pill we shd look for dear,becoz evry drug must have a side effect too and nature itself cures almost all the diseases,as we all know the mothernature.
for every disease some care,some basics and medicine if needed can take us towards cure/atleast near the cure.like one example i give u is depression is a disease—-but can u cure it only with medicines??????????????
Pure essential oils derived from plant secretions are astringent, antibacterial, and highly concentrated (always dilute before using). The right mix can help you relax, recharge, or melt away fatigue, stress, and depression. Cost usually depends on how difficult a particular oil is to extract, but, fortunately, essential oils are so effective that a little goes a long way. Here’s how to try aromatherapy at home.
In the tub
What could be more relaxing on a winter day than a hot, fragrant bath? Place 9 or 10 drops of a gentle oil, such as lavender, in a full tub. The oil will pool on the water’s surface, intensifying the aroma, says Jade Shutes, founder of the East West School for Herbal and Aromatic Studies in Willow Springs, North Carolina, and author of the book Aromatherapy for Bodyworkers (Pearson Prentice Hall, 2007). If you prefer a mellower experience, add the drops to a dispersing agent–such as a tablespoon of honey, whole milk, or vegetable oil–before placing in the bath water. Oils can be added individually or in combination with other scents. To find a complimentary blend: Slowly waft two or more open bottles under your nose at the same time. They should smell balanced and not too pungent. Use less of the dominant scent.
Essentials: “Lavender sedates the nervous system and can calm stress,” says Shutes. It may also help induce sleep. For deep relaxation, Shutes recommends combining 5 drops lavender with 1 drop of Roman chamomile and 1 drop of comforting neroli. Although too cooling for use in a full bath, peppermint and rosemary essential oils have circulation-stimulating and pain-relieving qualities perfect for soothing tired, sore feet. Mix 4½-5½ drops of peppermint or 5½-8 drops of rosemary in a large, hot foot bath.
On your body
Instead of springing for a professional massage when muscles tighten up, work out knots at home with sedative essential oils that have a depressant effect on the nervous system. As long as it has very little scent, any light oil–such as vegetable, sunflower, or walnut oil–or professional oil-based massage lotion can make a good carrier. Don’t use over-the-counter lotions, however, which are typically water based and soak in too quickly. Start with 1 drop of essential oil for every teaspoon of carrier. “If you know your skin sensitivity, you can increase that slightly,” says Ingrid Martin, author of Aromatherapy for Massage Practitioners (Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins, 2006). “Using a strong blend, however, without assessing your skin sensitivity first can result in skin rashes and allergic reactions. But eventually you may want to add more essential oil to have a greater effect on physical injuries.”

Hi, i believe alternative medicine has a lot to offer and i have witnessed some cures.
I believe that a holistic approach gives the best chance of a cure.
Finding the RIGHT natural or herbal remedy for the cause of the problem may very well cure it. But it is finding exactly what alternative method suits the sufferer that may be the most difficult part. Patience and unfortunately money is involved too. What works for one doesn’t always work for another.
I always try to heal myself first. I also consult a doctor when i have to but i regret that i always always come away disappointed and disheartened… not to mention frustrated because i can sometimes see they are missing the point.
I think having faith in nature and taking responsibility for your own health is the best way forward.
Best of luck.

Natural health remedies are widely acknowledged to be preventive in nature.
But many people also use these natural health remedies in conjunction with Western medicine to cure ailments.

If a treatment works to cure a disease or manage the symptoms (like, say, asthma) then it is medicine. There is no ‘alternative’. That is basically a marketing concept. When a treatment works doctors use it. When it doesn’t they don’t.
Alt Med is really a dangerous movement. While it gives people a sense of control over their own health, this control is not real. It makes them ‘feel’ better, but the stars of the Alt Med movement just don’t work. Homeopathy: fail. Acupuncture: fail. Chiropractic: fail. "Traditional Chinese Medicine" (not actually traditional if you look at the history of it: first touted and called such by Chairman Mao): fail.
The only plausible ‘alternative medicine’ is herbs. But those are just drugs in an unrefined form. When a chemical in an herb has a beneficial effect we extract it, test it for efficacy and safety, find out what doses are best, then offer it up for sale. Sometimes when we modify the chemical it works differently or even better. Hence the pharmaceutical industry.
Alternative medicine is the disease, not the cure. Science has the cure. AltMed only has smoke, mirrors, self delusion, and outright fraud. AltMed practitioners are at best uninformed or self-delusional, and at worst they are con artists selling old time Snake Oil. This is truly the Golden Age of quackery, and we are at risk from it in various forms.
Notice how some people say that it cures diseases ‘alongside’ real medical care? Ever wonder what happens when you only use normal medical care? The same thing. It doesn’t cure anything. If a person goes on a regimen of chemo for cancer and is cured, but at the time was drinking green tea and doing coffee enemas, guess what gets the credit? Not science, you can bet on it.
Also you get this ‘nature is good’ thing. I don’t think any of them have ever seen nature before because they’d realize that there is nothing nature loves more than to devise new poisons and new ways to kill things. Nature is dangerous. Nature is violent and scary. Nature means constant struggle to avoid being killed. That is nature. Anyone who’s ever watched one episode of "Wild Kingdom" knows this. Nature gives us belladonna, malaria, pirahna, botulinin toxin, and arsenic. Those are ALL NATURAL. So by the many AltMed proponents logic these are all safe and good for you. I’d like to see them ingest some Campylobacter jejuni (an all natural bacteria!) and see how ‘in tune’ with nature they get.

My home business is all about health & wellness and the first step in being healthy and living a healthier life is prevention. Modern medicine is all about "finding a cure" which is a bunch of "bull" if you ask me. And we spend billions of dollars in research. And although there are natural remedies out there, that do work, and are much better not to mention safer versus modern medicine with all the steroids and side effects, for common ailments, I feel it is important not to misinterpret the two. My point being is we are all aware that we do not get all the vitamins and nutrients our bodies need consistently thru diet alone…..so before having to look for "cures" try "prevention" but in order to really do that you have to take several more things into consideration. Check out my website for more info and to answer your question, yes, natural is the way to go, as for actual cures? I don’t know. http://www.ahealthcafe.com/daydreamer
