Heal the Body Without Drugs

Healing is accomplished by nature, modern medicine may aid the healing process, but it is nature, the body itself, that accomplishes the healing task.

We assist the body to heal itself with various drugs. Antibiotics and antivirals are common. But at present, it seems there is a pill for modifing practally every function of the body. This makes me question the wisdom of using so many drugs to take control of impaired functions before we try a more natural approach.

If you have high blood pressure, before taking a drug, would it not be better to try losing weight, exercising and changing your diet first? Sure, popping a pill seems so easy, but you must remember that there are side effects to taking drugs. It takes work to heal the body in a more ntural way, but in the long run, it is worth it. You gain real health, rather than masking the symptoms of a deeper, underlying cause.
