Why I Choose Alternative Medicine

In my life, I have worked with and for many doctors and am good friends with several of them. Through this I learned that doctors are just people. They have bad days when they don't really want to be at work, and they get so tired that they can't think straight. Why then does our culture put so much weight on their shoulders and so much stock in their opinions? I have heard people speak of doctors as though they were gods with absolute control over people's lives. I used to think that if a doctor says it, it must be true. I thought this until the day I wrote the following in my diary:

"Lord... its really starting to get to me. I am angry... I'm not mad at you or any of the doctors I've seen. I'm mad, furious, at myself. I am the one who knows what I am feeling. I've known that something wasn't right for years but brushed it off as paranoia. If I don't trust my senses and believe my intuition then who will? I have to stop being such a coward when it comes to what I believe. I'm very angry."

As much as I respect people who go into the medical field trying to help others, I've been told by many doctors that I didn't know what my own body was going through. It took me loosing all of my health to figure out that I knew my body better than any doctor did.

It was with this realization that I did research on my own and discovered how modern medicine doesn't have as many answers as I thought it did. Modern medicine is sick care, not health care in my and many other's opinions. It treats symptoms and can very seldom cure anything.

However, with the use of foods, chiropractic, and my favorite, Essential Oils, I was able to give my body the tools it needed to rebuild itself. The body is completely capable of healing itself, and every cell is replaced within nine months. So, I began giving my body the tools it needs to rebuild healthy cells in nine month intervals. I found that my body did more to heal me than any doctor ever did. All I had to do is supply it with what it was asking for. My body tells me everything that it needs through pain, fatigue, sleep troubles, and so many other signs. Instead of blocking those messages with drugs, I listen to them. Once I started listening, all I needed to do was learn what to do with what I'm told.

I found the answers I was looking for with the Weston A. Price diet, Essential Oils, and more. If you are to the point where you listen to your body, and you want to find out what you can do to support it, I'll be sharing what I learned, so follow this blog and learn how Alternative Medicine can help you give your body what it needs to fight Lyme disease and more.
