So many people ask me:
"Are herbs really safe to use??"
"How about those 'crazy therapies' like
Ionic foot baths or ozone therapy or
hyperbaric oxygen?? I read on the internet
they don't really work!"
"What about this vegetarian stuff?
Don't you think we need to eat meat?"
I can fill a book with all the questions
people ask me about alternative medicine.
I think people are afraid.
Using therapies that are not 'proven' by
the FDA or medical establishment seems to
instill a fear in people that it's not safe.
However, there are more misdiagnoses and
side effects from medications than you can
shake a stick at!
The FDA and AMA stamp of approval does not
not mean it's safe for us!
I'm a strong believer that anyone can use
common sense to take care a large majority
of their health issues.
I've done it on myself.
I've raised my children that way (and yes,
they're all still alive and kicking in
their 20 something years). I ran my clinics
this way.
I'm also a strong believer in choice.
If YOU don't feel comfortable attempting to
fix your health issues, or you feel you need
a definite diagnoses from your physician, go
for it!
But there are many,many safe ways to get your
body strong and healthy using herbs, foods,
lifestyle, and safe therapies that don't
cause any side effects whatsoever.
The key point to remember is to use common
sense. Using herbs and foods are easy to do.
They've been used in healing for centuries.
Doing a bit of research on the internet can
easily tell you how to use them effectively.
It's not hard using the right healing tools.
What might be harder is standing firm on your
convictions. Co-workers...family members....
friends can be well meaning when they say
you need to get medication. But remember,
the buck stops with you. If you don't feel
comfortable taking medication, take a look
around at your options.
Can your migraines be taken care of using a
more natural approach? Absolutely!
Do you think you want to get a check up to
see if it can be something more serious?
Absolutely!
I just had this very scenario from a young
friend who had tremendous migraines come
on suddenly.
She smokes....
Under lots of stress at work....
Drinking alcohol while on asthma meds...
I encouraged her to make the lifestyle changes
but she was convinced 'something is seriously
wrong' so had an MRI done.
Nothing showed up.
Not surprised.
She then she worked on the lifestyle changes
and guess what? Yep! Headaches gone!
It's your body - you can find out what's wrong
with it, but most of the time you already know.
Take a re-evaluation of your situation then
look at your alternatives. It can save you a ton
of time and money!
Great health always,
Dr. Judy
