BellaOnline Forums Health and Fitness Holistic Health Natural Cures Versus Pharmaceuticals

If you knew there was a herbal cure for cancer would you take it? Why does the medical profession hide the truth from us about natural cures?

I agree with you. The good thing about natural cures is that they typically do not harm the healthy cells the way both radiation and chemo therapies do.

Depending upon the stage of a cancer, I would opt for natural remedies like the Breuss method.

The best prevention is more important than the cure. Eat a diet high in veggies and fruits every day of your life. Avoid processed foods. Whole raw foods are the best way to go in preventing cancer. The popular high fat diet of today is feeding a diabetes and heart disease problem that is now out of control.

I have been doing things naturally and avoiding medications for any health issues that come up for about 10 years now and although I'm over 60, I have none of the usual "old age" health problems many face.

One issue I do have I use yoga, tai chi and chiropractics to help with. I am lucky to have found a holistic chiropractor who also offers nutritional help. She does muscle testing to find issues like food sensitivities, etc and if I avoid those, I feel much better.

For almost every health situation there are natural remedies, even if it's meditation. If natural remedies won't cure you, they certainly won't hurt.

It's amazing that with all the millions poured into medical research, we still have any diseases at all! Of course pharmaceuticals are fueling many of the problems people fact so they are, in effect creating more problems for people, which means taking more drugs.

Of course! But like [b]EatingVeggies[/b] said, prevention through diet is ideal and definitely the way to go about it. I do know that Yerba Mate tea and turmeric is very effective in preventing cancer, though. I firmly believe the reason the truth is hidden from us is because the Government makes loads of money off of prescription drugs. People will continuously go to their doctor, complain about their situation and receive a drug. That drug in turn creates more problems in the long run and they end up having to go back for more drugs. Whereas if people KNEW the damage they were doing and went to see a naturopath instead, they would end up curing themselves for life and realizing what they need to do in order to stay healthy. It's pretty vile.
