Western Medicine Plays Catch-up

A post by Blanche Scharf http://www.yourhealthupdates.com I have been studying natural healing modalities for the last 25 years. In that time I have had the privilege of working with some of the greatest minds in Natural Healing including Naturopaths, Scientists, and Energy Healers. I have seen people miraculously heal from all kinds of dis-ease thru non-invasive methods. Personally, I have experienced all kinds of diets from Macrobiotics to Raw Foods. Now is a very important time to start sharing this health information with as many people as possible, so people can make well informed decisions about their health and not fall victim to a sickcare system based on profit, rather than one of supporting wholeness, compassion and love To see more posts by Blanche Scharf, click here

While western medicine plays catch-up you can lose your battle with life threatening illnesses. Slash your chance of becoming a statistic. 

The Achilles’ Heel of Health Care

Big Pharma’s stranglehold may be a simplistic answer to a complex problem. It is a good starting point. Flushing out the reasons that standard care does little to alleviate and combat disease is a multi-pronged task. Western medicine adheres to a prescription mentality, without addressing the underlying causes. The biggest problem is one of arrogance. I call it the closed minded approach.

Troubleshooting

“Troubleshooting is the process of isolating the specific cause or causes of the symptom.” “The problem is initially described as symptoms of malfunction, and troubleshooting is the process of determining the cause of these symptoms.” This is from Wikipedia.

In medicine they do search for the condition, but forget to determine the cause. Yes, you heard me. When you tell someone they have diabetes, cancer, heart disease, the real cause is not known to the average medical professional. The more they isolate a condition without looking at the whole person the bigger the danger. This is a myopic approach.

Yet, it is abundantly clear that it can be in large part attributed to lifestyle. Everything that affects one system will have consequences through out the body. Nothing in our physical makeup is isolated. All systems are activated by their interplay with each other.

Why You Should Not Be Satisfied with Standard Care

The standard American diet leads to abnormalities, which usually leads to arterial dysfunction and occlusion. This way of eating is also implicated in a whole host of conditions. The way Medicine is practiced does not seem to be working for a vast majority of people.

Medical intervention using standard drugs is a beguiling approach that seems simple, though costly. The residual risks to this approach are enormous. Connecting the treatments to conditions that develop days, weeks, and years later is supported by powerful research. Most diseases are initiated by inflammation, nutritional deficiency, environmental factors, and stress. These occur in combination, and combined have a unique ability to stress the system.

The Better Approach

Alternative healers have for years offered some good approaches. There is a new revolution way of thinking. Thanks to the Internet all this information can be shared. There have been powerful advances in the understanding of natural prevention and treatment. Naturally occurring chemical agents are showing promise. Vegetable extracts have been shown to be powerful in both preventing and arresting disease.

There is persuasive evidence from large population based studies, that vegetables dramatically reduce risks, and combats disease. We know that insulin, and abdominal fat is correlated to our lifestyle. What is not as widely known is diabetics have a higher cancer rate. Every condition is multi-faceted, and that is why a single targeted treatment for a condition will not help the body become well.

Fighting Back

We are lead to believe that the problem developed primarily from risk factors such as either unfavorable genes, or abnormalities that exist in our bodies.

The American Association for Cancer Research has highlighted the following papers for the news media. I am listing just a few, but I hope everyone gets the idea, these studies don’t touch the surface of what nutrition can do for you.

– Hops Compound May Prevent Prostate Cancer

– Antioxidant Compound Reduced Incidence of Colorectal Metachronous Adenomas

– Exercise Reduces Death Rate in Prostate Cancer Patients

– Omega-3 Fatty Acids May Reduce Risk of Colon Cancer

– Coffee Consumption Associated with Reduced Risk of Advanced Prostate Cancer

– Pistachios May Reduce Lung Cancer Risk

The fact is they are missing the boat, most of the important research by integrative and so called alternative healers has show there are thousands of compounds that work synergistic to preserve our health.

In the entire field of medicine evidence-based dietary solutions are both unknown and ignored. Optimal health is dose related and determined on a day to day basis. It is desirable to consume nutrient dense food that will significantly impact your health for the better
