Nature's Way

Never have I been big on polluting my body with lots of man-made chemicals and I am always on lookout for natural and organic ways to do things.  Taking drugs of any kind, even an aspirin, always seemed wrong to me maybe one of the reasons I always balked at going to the doctor!    Today going through all the medication I am prescribed is scary and maddening to me for a number of reasons.  In many cases, medication fights only the symptoms and does little if anything to actually fight the cause of the disease. 

Also, the exuberant profits made by big pharma companies.  Now it is not totally about the profit but the ways it is made, though lies and deceit.  Honest profit is one thing, 'cooking the books' to make it is another thing!  The Laws of Pharmaceutical Industtry by Dr. Matthias Rath describes greatly the purpose and intent of the pharmaceutical industry - it it not to cure and treat but for profit. Personally, I agree with Dr. Rath's writings on this.  Also,I am a strong advocate that God put everything on this earth for a reason!

Most everyone and every company seems these days to jump on the "Natural, Organic or Green" band wagon and seek their fortunes!  That is not to say that there isn't a need for manufacturers, vendors and producers etc.  but the profit should be in that!  Readily providing goods and services to consumers, not in taking something that all ready exists and works and modifying it merely to change the name and make it profitable!  (there are many examples and references to this).

The other night after receiving an email from one of friends over on http://strokesurvivors.org/ title 'High Blood Cholesterol,' I read the referenced article and launched myself into about five hours of research that night until about 2 a.m.  The reference was to the Mayo Clinic and I found the article informative and a great deal of additional information which I was happy to read!

Fueled and excited with the information I read on the Mayo Clinic website I continued on visiting dozens more websites before calling it a night.  The reading left me both stunned and mortified at some of what I read.  it was kind of like when I read on artificial sweeteners and quit drinking soda.  I felt better both in mind body not to mention I lost a ton of weight and saved bookus money!
