It is widely known that an increasing number of consumers are turning to alternative medicine for treatment for diseases like cancer, depression, diabetes, heart disease and so on. What are generally not known are the circumstances under which many consumers make this switch from conventional to alternative medicine.
The truth about that is rather surprising and, perhaps, even a bit frustrating because many consumers only switch to alternative medicine after conventional medicine has failed them. That's when many people begin investigating medicinal herbs, acupuncture, or chiropractic care. It is only after they have tried everything with conventional medicine -- drugs, surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy -- that they finally realize they are not getting any healthier and need to do something different.
It is interesting how conventional medicine can so strongly motivate people to check out alternatives because most of the therapies in conventional medicine simply do not work. Even worse, they actually cause tremendous harm to patients even while promising to help them.
During conventional cancer treatment with toxic chemotherapy drugs, for example, the patients are told they are getting help. They're told they are getting better. The American Medical Association, the FDA, and all the authorities in medicine tell them they are receiving a scientifically-validated form of treatment.
What they are not being told is the chemotherapy is destroying the normal, healthy functioning of vital organs, such as the liver, heart, brain, and kidneys. Yes, it might also be shrinking a tumor, but the point here is not simply to emerge from cancer treatment with only small tumors. The point is to emerge as a healthy human being with a strong immune system and cellular balance that prevents or eliminates tumors altogether. That kind of outcome is not at all offered by conventional medicine.
After cancer treatments nearly kill them, they reach out for alternativesWhen cancer patients finally make that decision to embrace alternative medicine, they often do so in a near-death state because they have been so utterly harmed by the treatments espoused by conventional, Western medicine. Then, even more frustratingly, they begin to take a few herbs or experience some kind of alternative treatment and end up dying from organ failure caused by the toxic chemotherapy given to them by their conventional medical doctors. That is why I tell people you have to make a choice sooner. Do not wait until you are at death's door to wake up and choose alternative medicine. By then it may be too late.
If you remain a prisoner of the conventional medical system and you allow all of these toxic drugs, chemicals and harmful procedures to maim your body and cause permanent damage to your vital organs (such as your liver), then you are handicapping all the support systems in your body that alternative medicine normally recruits to create a healing outcome.
You see, alternative medicine believes in supporting the body's own natural healing processes. That means helping the liver function better, not destroying liver function like pharmaceuticals do. It means allowing the body to regulate its own cholesterol, blood pressure, and brain chemistry in a healthy, supportive way. Not hijacking blood pressure, cholesterol, or brain chemistry with toxic chemicals that happen to be called "medication."
