An In-Depth Discussion On Natural Health And Healing

• Taking Personal Responsibility for Health – Conventional medicine / common opinion is of the view that a doctor is the one who knows his stuff, and he will tell you what to do, and you should obey him; in other words, the doctor is the healer. Doing otherwise is considered very foolish.

However, medical doctors are well-trained in disease control and management, but often know very little about healing itself.

Further, statistics show that medical doctors in the United States live much shorter lives than the average American; if they can’t help themselves, I really wonder how much they can help sick people.

On the other hand, natural health and healing is an educational experience – a person has to learn how to work with and help his or her own body heal itself.

In embracing natural health and healing, every person has to TAKE RESPONSIBILITY for his or her own health. Thus, in embracing natural health modalities, a person plays a very key role in his or her own healing.

This involves a certain degree of trial and error and experimentation, within reasonable limits. After all, there isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution to everything, and you are the one who knows your body the best.

Please do note, however, that taking personal responsibility does NOT mean doing everything alone, with no proper basis or method – it is always advisable to seek the advice and opinions of naturopathic doctors, herbalists, nutritionists, medical doctors who embrace natural health modalities, as well as other like-minded people; it is also definitely necessary to read up and learn as much as one can about natural health.

But do remember to take everything you read, hear or find out about with a pinch of salt. Bear in mind that nobody knows everything, and that everyone is biased and has their own vested interests.

Therefore, probably nobody is telling you the full truth – not doctors, not naturopaths, and especially not salesmen. Not even me!

Do your own research, use your common sense and intuition, and exercise your personal judgment. The ultimate choices have to be made by you, and only you.

Now, take a look around you. The healthiest people in this world – including cancer survivors – are almost always those who take responsibility for their own health, and live lives which are markedly different from the majority.
