Prevent and Treat a Host of Ailments with Natural Remedies and Cures

This summer, the big story revolves around health care reform. Few would argue that the health care system in this country is broken; after all, Americans spend more per capita on health care than any other nation on earth. Despite our expenditures, however, there are 17 million uninsured Americans and countless other underinsured Americans. But even more shocking is that no matter how much money we spend on health care, as a whole Americans are less healthy than citizens of other industrialized nations. In fact, today's children and teens have a shorter life expectancy than there parents.

Although the health care reform debate revolves around making primary medical care more readily available, overhauling the fee-for-service system, and bringing down insurance costs, politicians and citizens alike may be tackling the wrong set of problems. After all, allopathic medicine - what we know as traditional Western medicine - is really a latecomer to the game. Natural remedies and cures for a variety of ailments have been around for millennia. Moreover, many of these natural approaches are effective in the prevention and treatment of a whole host of health issues, such as cancer, diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, and obesity. It's not a coincidence that these are precisely the problems that have reached epidemic proportions in the U.S.

For each of these conditions, doctors and pharmaceutical companies have an enormous financial stake in maintaining the status quo. Not counting end of life care, repeated doctors' visits and prescriptions for chronic conditions constitute the vast majority of health care expenditures in this country. But armed with the right information, as well as natural remedies and cures, Americans could prevent many chronic diseases, and effectively treat chronic conditions.

For example, there is a natural occurring mineral that kills single-celled viruses and bacteria. There are natural herbs that help the pancreas achieve optimal health, thus preventing and treating diabetes. There are natural techniques that are proven to promote and sustain weight loss. There are over 300 natural treatments for cancer that can be used in place of or with allopathic cancer therapies. In contrast to chemotherapy and radiation, these treatments are non-toxic. In other words, whereas traditional Western medicine offers a single path to wellness, there are a wealth of alternatives that will not only prevent disease, but cure it without the risks associated with pharmaceuticals.

The good news is that the tide is beginning to turn. There are an increasing number of health and wellness practitioners who rely on holistic, natural remedies and cures to treat their patients and clients. Moreover, more Americans than ever before are beginning to realize that the Western approach to medicine is costly, intrusive, and often ineffective.

With the debate about health care reform in full swing, it's important that the voices of health and wellness practitioners and the patients who have been helped are included in finding the right, results-oriented prevention and solutions to chronic conditions. We literally cannot afford the current path, and using natural remedies and cures for conditions such as cancer, diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, and obesity will increase both our prosperity and our well-being.
