BellaOnline Forums Health and Fitness Alternative Medicine Miracles - alternative medicine

Anyone had a "miracle" occur in their lives, or know of anyone who has after practicing "alternative" health option.

As you can see, I am not sure how to word my question but for several years I have been hearing about people being cured without prescription drugs.

Do you think this is possible?
If yes, why?
If no, why?

Me, my answer is YES

It is not a miracle when alternative medicine cures, it is science..

The miracle happens when someone turns their backs on the pharmaceutical propaganda and the brainwashed medical doctors and then actively moves into a new paradigm of learning and experience.

Whether miracles occur depends on how you define miracles. If you mean that the laws of science are put to one side I don't believe in them. But if you mean "Do unexpected recoveries occur?" then I do. There are always some people who do much better than medically expected. One researcher looked into what miraculous survivors all had in common and published her findings in the Qualitative Health Journal in about 2008. She also has a website at www dot beat the medical odds dot com. Take out the spaces and replace the words "dot" with a .

I have some form of neuropathy which doctors can't seem to do anything about beyond offering drugs, which I don't want to take. I have done several alternatives such as acupuncture, exercise, hypnotherapy and drinking green smoothies.

None of these has provided a "miracle" but they are definitely helping my condition, both physically and mentally, allowing me not to take medications. For that it's well worth it to investigate alternatives for any condition you may have.

Hey, you are right here that alternative medicines are going more popular these days. The naturopathic approach to health care helps prevent disease and keeps minor illnesses from developing into more serious or chronic degenerative diseases.[url=http://www.naturalhormonebalanceforwomen.com/]Naturopath Sydney[/url] provides you best naturopathic care so that your body will stay fit and fine.

I agree Angela the mind is a powerful tool when dealing with pain and illness.

If you sit around feeling sorry for yourself, then you feel worse.

If you say to yourself...people far worse off than me... and get on with life, you get better.

I also believe in the miracle of prayer.

Positive thinking always helps. Negative thinking makes things worse.

Peace

hi angela there is a lot of cures with alternative medicine, i believe more in herbal remedies as the herbs are more safer, acupuncture can work in some people but not all, aromatherapy oils either inhaled or massaged into the skin is also a good therapy. regards lawrence.

My father has a blood platelet disorder (he's in his 80's) He's had it for 6 years and the usual course of the illness is blood transfusions after about 2 years and then people die with it in about 3 years.

As soon as he was diagnosed with it, my mom asked me about ways to improve his blood. He eats tons of blueberries, for one thing, plus other foods like raisins to build up his iron. He takes some different supplements too.

His most recent blood work showed his platelets count had gone up 20 points! This is like a miracle. He's gone from seeing the hematologist every 3 months to once a year.

He is like the poster child for this illness, yet his doctor has never one time asked if he is proactively doing anything to influence his results!

sorry to hear about your dad and his medical problem, eating plenty of eggs and green smoothies made from spinach and dark green cabbages and fuit would help to build his iron up? also lentils are a good source of iron. vitamin b 12 which is cyanocobalamin can also help him feel better its obtainable from all herbal outlets. at one time drinking a glass of guiness or stout with a meal was favoured in a lot of hospitals.

A friend of mine had hep C. She swears she got rid of it by eating water cress. She got a craving for it and ate it for months. She has not had hep C for over 5 years now.

Water cress contains Vits A and C, folic acid, iron and calcium.

A miracle cure?

Thanks everyone for the AWESOME responses to my post

I totally agree about your mind having a lot to do with how well any remedy works for you.

One of the alternatives I tried for my neuropathy was hypnotherapy and through hypnosis, she worked on taking away all stress and fear associated with my situation and boosted my subconscious belief in my own power to heal myself. Many of my symptoms lessed a great deal through those sessions.

Hi HealthyMom62:

Thanks for stopping by and responding to my post

Do you have any tips for "menopause" - I had no luck with posting in that site on this forum and the editor kept ignoring my post and deleting

I am hoping to stay away from having to get on estrogen and whatever else they suggest for "hot flashes" and "night sweats"...

I have heard of "Black Cohash"/not sure about the spelling. Any thoughts on this.

And lastly, does anyone know when the "hot flashes" and "night sweats" end

I am now 52, have not had a cycle for the required 12 months (1 year) to be considered in menopause. Am I now in "post" menopause? Once I get my finances in place, I would like to be able to go to a doctor and ask these questions - meanwhile, I have not had any luck with the famous Google Search

Ideally I would have liked to sit down and discuss this with my mom as I know the generations usually experience the same thing, but we are not close and she is not comfortable with these types of talks. And I think she had a "hysterectomy" like my grandma (her mom) did. I have made sure to share with my only child, age 24 so that she can have an idea of what she MAY experience. She thinks I have totally lost it when she sees me "fanning" wildly. I told her I use to "giggle" when I saw women doing this in real life or on TV - now it is so not funny... Dressing in layers really is wise as I take the city bus at the moment. Nothing like being able to remove a layer and add it back on when the "flash" passes. Any other tips to pass my way?

Other than that, I am so HAPPY to not have cycles again - but it is so hard at nights when you are sharing a bed with someone else - he is needing the heat and you are not needing it (lol).

Thanks,
