Natural Health Works In Harmony With The Human Body (First Do No Harm)

The entire philosophy of natural health and healing contains some core principles. One of them entails working in harmony with the human body and not doing any harm to it, and this is discussed in the following article I first wrote and published on another website in 2008.

Natural Health Principle No. 4 – First Do No Harm – in harmony with how the human body works

Natural health and healing seeks to adhere to “first do no harm”, working in harmony WITH the body and not against it.

Say you have a pain or health problem today, which measures 5 out of 10 on the “how serious scale”. I now present you an option – you can press a certain button, and the problem will 100% go away, for now.

But in a year’s time, the problem, now measuring 6 out of 10 on the scale, will resurface. You can press the same button again, but the probably of the problem going away drops to 80%.

Suppose the problem does go away, but in another year’s time, the problem will again resurface, and this time it will measure 7 out of 10 on the “how serious scale”.
The magic button is again available, but the probability of it working now drops to 60%. And, of course, even if it does work, the problem will return once again, and become more serious.

This pattern will continue until you are stuck with a health problem measuring 10 out of 10.

Would you want to walk this road? Probably not; I know I wouldn’t.

But using chemical drugs and suppressing symptoms does precisely this – masking the problem while damaging one’s body more and more in the long run.

When you stop a cough or a runny nose, you are stemming your body’s attempt to clean itself. You are also harming your immune system, because in the long run, your body may forget or give up creating coughs and runny noses.
