We need a more natural medicine!

[Guest guest]

Thanks for your note.

In Angola, Sudan and Somalia we used a kit with 25 GENERIC medicines

provided by UNICEF.

With those were more than enough to treat almost 95% of all common

illnesses in the refugee camps, those that we cannot cure sent by

plane to the closest hospital.

If you want we can interchange useful medicines made at home to treat

the most common ailments.

Please don't think wrong about my philosophy: I believe and I think

that advanced technological medicine is important and effective in

the most serious cases, and is also important in research.

BUT we expend so much money treating regular and common diseases that

don't require advanced technological concepts to cure. Most of the

diseases don't require all the " manipulation " (handling) that most

current doctors / hospitals use. In fact most of those diseases get

worst using prescription " drugs " with considerable side effects. Many

diseases have a cycle of curation, without " drugs " just with good

food, rest and homeopathy or extract of plants.

Remember many years ago when illnesses were treated in a different

manner and doctors didn't make " an obscene quantity of money " ; they

just wanted to cure people and it was their " call " . Doctors in that

times made home visits, went to see pregnant women several miles from

their towns at horse back in the middle of the night and many times

they were paid with goods, chickens, corn, etc. Medical universities

were not " money machines " , like now. In this moment of history there

is not charity, not faith, not ethics, there is nothing, except the

call of the money.

My grand-grandfather studied in " Institute Pasteur " in Paris, when

Paris was " The City of Lights " and France had the hegemony of culture

and Science in the world. I read the books of my grand-grandfather

and I am surprised to find so many natural and easy cures that were

based in the natural healing powers of our bodies and minds. Those

original remedies were very good! And the most important thing to

remember is that many of those substances didn't get resistance from

bacteria, like it is happening now.

We are changing a valuable ancient medical system based in sound

proved medical practices, for things so new that we don't know

anything about the side effects. How many drugs are now in the market

that has been not proved enough about secondary effects? You don't

need to go far.... how about PROZAC???? Do we really know something

about the lateral effects of PROZAC????, nooooooooooooo! Because it

was marketed before we knew something additional about the long term

effects, and I can mentions dozens of new medicines, antibiotics,

pain killers that we don't know anything about them. PROZAC, for

example is one of those medicines that sell billions every year!!

Marketing is everything!! Isn't true? We sold our souls to the

devil!!!

So let's go to the basics of medicine: having a more natural life,

eating right and balanced, resting enough, sharing time with family

and friends and STOPPING filling our bodies with pills. Just eat more

fruits and vegetables, eat the skin of fruits with the natural

phytochemicals and make some exercise.

And please don't be so gullible thinking that all those " exotic

diets' are going to make something good for you. If you buy and

follow those diets they are going to make something VERY GOOD FOR THE

POCKETS AND BANK ACCOUNTS of those self-proclaimed gurus, that never

went to university or read a book, but they are good in scams and

convincing the people in need that they are the answer to their

health problems.

Let's research and exchange information about effective-natural forms

of diagnose, treat and prevent common illness.
