For any health condition, it is important for that individual to consider a whole-life approach. Many times an individual with a health condition will start feeling better and they stop their meds and/or go back to an unhealthy life-style. Example-poor diet, not exercising, not getting adequate sleep. Which can compromises the immune system, which than can aggravate a health condition (depression).
If a person is taking a prescription drug, herbs, supplement or incorporating an alternative therapy (reflexology, acupunctures, massage, yoga) it is very important that they continue a healthy life style if they want to feel the benefit from conventional medicine or an alternative therapy.
You can�t just take a supplement, and eat a poor diet and expect it to work. And when a person is taking a prescription drug- the doctor usually tells that patient that they need to eat a healthy diet, drink more water, ect or the meds wont work. It is the same with supplements, herbs, and homeopathic medicine; you can�t just take one thing and feel it is a cure all. A person has to incorporate a number of life-style changes to feel the benefits. That is why it is so important to be an active participant in your health care, research all information about the med�s, herbs, supplement you are taking.
In my article, the suggestions were not meant to advice a person to solely, take a supplement, or just an herb, and their symptoms would go away. I�m sure the readers understand that. <img src="/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
Lisa and Roni are examples that natural therapy can work or at least help. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
