Physicians and other medical professionals are very beneficial to society as a whole, but what happens when medically accepted treatments don't work?
Modern Medicine vs Traditional Methods
It is a known fact that antibiotics have saved many lives over the years. However, a recent resurgence of familiar viruses and germs are proving to be highly resistant to applied medical therapies.
In some cases, antibiotics are largely ineffective against them. Some medical professionals are beginning to recommend natural therapies to treat both minor symptoms and chronic conditions.
Dietary modifications have emerged as a powerful tool in combating illnesses that would have necessitated prescription medication just a generation ago.
Worldwide, a growing number of people are turning to unique, natural, and ancient healing strategies to prevent illnesses and to resolve minor health issues.
Some medical academics have dismissed these therapies as unproven "old wives tales" or standard folklore and that is (in many cases) fully expected. Some of these treatments only have anecdotal or experience-based evidence for scientific review.
At the same time it's also known that many health conditions are caused by improper diet and can be reversed using food therapies.
Food As Medicine
Heart disease, cancer, weight issues, arthritis, diabetes, and high blood pressure can all be treated to a point with foods.
Imagine the concept of treating a cold or flu solely with specific meal plans and dietary modifications.
Chicken soup has been a prescribed food-based treatment for years and still many medical professionals have yet to make the correlation that it too is based on "alternative treatment" methods.
Ironically, many of these same medical professionals were given chicken soup as children to aid in recovery from colds and flu.
Heal Thyself
The human body possesses the power to trigger healing through correct diet and herbal treatment strategies. Sadly, we now live in an age where self-reliance is largely ridiculed and we have a tendency to look beyond our own healing capabilities for treatment solutions.
Health care has now become the exclusive province of licensed medical professionals.
Again the question must be asked: What happens when medical help is not so readily accessible?
For this reason alone many are exploring the option of using alternative practitioners techniques for treating the entire person or "holistic healing".
A New Hope?
Recently, numerous physicians have begun to incorporate naturopathic counseling techniques to help patients identify elements of their daily routines that could significantly influence their symptoms.
While modern technological advancements have greatly advanced the field of medicine, they also come with certain limitations. Physicians are discovering that a holistic approach can swiftly address the underlying issues and enhance the patient's overall lifestyle.
In this age of managed care and highly impersonal medical employees, it has been determined that patients tend to overwhelmingly appreciate a holistic medicine approach.
