Usually we tend to just think about the standard medical treatments that we grew up with - and for most of us that means a few weird home remedies grandma insists on making us take and the usual trip to the doc. But it’s a kind of brain washing. For many problems there are other options that may be safer and more healthy than downing a bunch of synthetic chemicals and breeding bigger and badder germs or maybe getting addicted to one of those delightfully designed drugs the docs tend to hand out so freely. Now, I know that alternative medicine tends to bring to mind a picture of some kind of weirdo in funny clothes doing odd things, but the reality is that what’s called “alternative medicine” has been the most common source of treatment for ailments for most of human history. Big time western medicine has tried to eliminate alternative medical treatments and they did it pretty well with all their shiny instruments and flashy talk. But, people are waking up and today alternative and natural medical treatments are being sought by more people who are tired of an approach to treatment that ignores individual reality and relies, in many instances, on the use of dangerous chemicals that often will end up making a bad situation worse.
