Alternative-Medicine
Debate
(Part One)
Learn what is good
and avoid mistakes of others.
The wellness revolution industry promotes complementary alternative-medicine CAM.
Famous quotes;
"Let your food be your medicine and your medicine your food."
Also..." all we need for health and healing has been provided by God in Nature...".
Pharmaceuticals Only
Some argue against using complementary alternative medicine or anything other than what is prescribed by their traditional physician. But is that a fair evaluation of treatment?
It is always good to look at both sides of the debate.
A person should approach Alternative Medicine from an informed perspective. Many treatments and ideologies are well-known, while others are discoveries and new technologies.
There are some outstanding complementary medicines, but there are also questionable alternative medicines. Some are exotic, with possible adverse side effects that can be dangerous. But the good appears to far out weight the bad. It would be wise to do your due diligence. If you are taking pharmaceuticals, ask your doctor before mixing them.
On the other side of the debate are conventional therapies and pharmaceutical drugs, which have their own dangerous side effects. You have to weigh the benefits against the possible side effects. The fact is there are dangers on both sides.
God has provided for us in nature natural Holistic medicines herbs and plants of all kinds. I know God's will for all His children is to be healthy; however, God may bring this about in several different ways. The question is, Is Complementary Alternative Medicine a way for God to bring you health?
True Stories:
Real-life demonstrations of the debate;
Health issues can be a serious subject. Let me demonstrate these true stories.
A woman had a degenerating disease that was causing her to lose her eyesight slowly. The Mayo Clink told her there was nothing more they could do for her but possibly increase the strength of her glasses one more time.
The doctors told her that she would have to face her fate. They said that soon she would not be able to drive any longer. As her blindness progressed, she would slip into the dark world of blindness and lose her job.
The woman heard of a particular alternative medicine, a new technology made of natural ingredients, and that others were having a lot of success with it. She decided to try it. After taking this Alternative Medicine for a couple of months, she began to have headaches. At first, she thought it might be because her thick glasses were not strong enough anymore.
She made an appointment with the Mayo Clinic to see if they could adjust her prescription for the last time before losing sight altogether. After examining her eyes, they found that the headaches were not because her vision was getting worse, but to the doctor's astonishment, her vision was getting better! Yes, beyond the doctor's understanding, her eyes were getting better!
This woman has had a dramatic life-changing result! She continued to take the product and never did lose her eyesight. She received an answered prayer. God used complementary alternative medicine to bring it to her. I think it would be safe to say that she would support the debate on the side of alternative medicine. Doctors could not help her anymore, yet she did not give up. And someone cared enough about her that they told her about this product that was not a pharmaceutical. A doctor couldn't prescribe it, but she found great results from using it.
Now, on the other side of the Alternative Medicine Debate is another woman's story. She had a severe condition and chose not to seek a traditional doctor's treatment at all. Instead, she tried to cure herself by ONLY using alternative therapies. This situation is a rare case, but even one is too many... Unfortunately, She was not successful.
The bottom line is that it was too late by the time she did seek conventional help, and she died.
Now her doctor would likely be on the opposing side of the debate. These two examples are two extremes of what could happen.
It is always advisable to seek advice from your doctor and get more than one opinion. Traditional doctors are not trained in Naturopathic Medicine. You might want to hear from both sides, you may come to a balanced Care plan.
People Need to be First:
If you are an entrepreneur in the wellness industry, as a business person, always keep safety first and for most in mind.
Safety issues are not only good business practices, but they dictate the encouragement of both types of therapies. In the wellness revolution industry, your first concern can never be money. People need to be first. Their needs their concerns come before money. It makes for good business, but it's a fundamental Christian value. The stakes are too high. Always put their interests before your own. If you find a great product to share and someone comes to you with a severe health problem, encourage them to seek professional help alongside the alternative products so that they can be complementary to one another.
Only doctors can prescribe. But you will likely find some excellent products as an entrepreneur in this business or personal search for preventative health products. The good results may have even changed the life of someone near and dear to you. But a good rule of thumb is always to include your doctor where your health is concerned. Anyone in a wellness business should always advise people to see their doctors along with alternative therapies.
You could try to find a doctor that is at least familiar with some complementary alternative medicines. Both therapies give you many more options when dealing with your health. One treatment usually complements the other. Today, you can find doctors that have seen the good results that good Alternatives can produce. They are willing to work with both holistically.
Just because there is a debate about this subject, that should not discourage you from pursuing your search for good alternative medicines. There are many good products and a few great ones for maintaining your health. Both alternative and conventional therapies have their place in your overall health care.
(side note)
In the wellness revolution business arena, you must avoid the word "Cure."(No matter how many times you see good results.) Everyone, even Home Based entrepreneurs, should not forget to comply with the laws.
Take an active role in your health. And take good care of yourself. Complementary Alternative Medicine may be an avenue to consider for your health and to add to your economic prosperity.
But don't forget another Alternative Medicine called 'Prayer.' The Word of God is by far 'The Most Powerful One of them all.' It does Miracles for people! Literally! The Word of God can even bring someone back from the dead - You can't beat that one. And that has been medically proven in recent years, and it has a long history... thousands of years ago, they had similar results.
God's will is that you be healthy and prosper in all things. He wants you healed if only you would be willing to believe Him for it. According to what you believe, so it shall be done unto you.
Keep searching and keep following Jesus. It's exciting!
God Bless You
