Alternatives To Conventional Medicine

Posted by admin on November 18, 2010 in Health with No Comments


Have you heard about alternative medicine? Well, it’s getting more and more popular as the health care industry keeps increasing prices while families are making less money.

Alternative medicine involves using techniques and ingredients that are not drugs or surgery to help prevent and even cure many of the ailments that plague our society. Sometimes alternative medicine involves techniques such as certain exercises or herbs with certain ingredients having medicinal qualities. The Chinese have used this kind of medicine for thousands of years. The American Indians used it too, and believe it or not, sometimes with great success.

When thinking about alternatives to the doctor’s office or the hospital, you might consider re-structuring your mindset on health care. Prevention is key to being healthy. We really don’t consistently do anything close to what we could do in order to prevent diseases, even some of the most deadly.

Alternative medicine starts with prevention which basically means eating more healthy. Fruits and vegetables are of course a good place to start but most of us can’t get fruits or vegetables that still have their vitamins and minerals. We need vitamin supplements.

Vitamin supplements are vital to a healthy body and unfortunately, the standard ‘one a day’ pills or paks don’t come anywhere near the needed quantities. You need high milligrams of vitamins: A, B, C, D and E. A good way to obtain these is to just do some research on line and compare vitamins. Pay attention to the milligrams of the actual vitamin. A good strong vitamin C supplement could be 1,000 ml or even 2,000 ml or higher. That’s a whole lot more than you’ll see in a ‘one a day’ pak.

Spend a little of your life researching vitamins and their effects. Sometimes they can, when taken in high quantities, cause adverse effects. For example, vitamin C can leach the calcium from your body. So, you’ll want to be sure to take calcium in addition to vitamin C. Whole milk can usually provide this.

Of course exercise is something that should be taken seriously. Many of us sit in an office all day. Our bodies were developed to do physical work so allowing your body to remain idle without exercising can cause problems. Exercise helps get the blood flowing which helps get all those medicinal ingredients to the places they need to be.

Do some research on the Internet and/or buy a few good books on alternative preventative measures, remedies and cures for the various ailments that lessen the quality of our lives. When you or someone you love is tormented by some physical ailment, unless it needs emergency attention, you might want to seek out an alternative remedy before just rushing off to the doctor.

In a nutshell, begin to consider alternative solutions as an inclusion into your overall health care plan. You are sure to be pleasantly surprised with the added quality of life you and your family are sure to enjoy.
