As the debate rages on in Congress over health care reform, one fact remains crystal clear: real health care starts at home, not in the doctor’s office or emergency room.
You see, true health isn’t so much fixing what’s wrong as it is preventing illness and injury through healthy living. And that responsibility lies squarely on the shoulders of each and every one of us.
One fundamental tenant of natural medicine is the recognition of the body’s innate ability to heal itself. So when something goes wrong, we look at what we can do to help the body heal itself naturally as opposed to relying on synthetic drugs and invasive surgery whenever possible.
Every American deserves the right to choose their own healthcare option without governmental interference such as a requirement to visit a “qualified” doctor or to use only “standard” treatments — which may not even be as safe or effective as those offered through natural medicine.
Yes, it takes a bit more self education and a little more effort to take personal responsibility for your own healthcare as opposed to going to a conventional medical doctor, citing a list of symptoms, and driving to the pharmacy to pick up some prescription which only masks those symptoms instead of getting to the root of the problem. But the rewards in better health are worth the investment.
