Let’s take a look at many diseases that are really symptoms and are truly warnings to us to correct our habits.
Arthritis: Proven by Colon Dong, over 50 years ago, to be treatable with diet.
Colitis and/or Chrones: Many causes, but commonly bad diet, food sensitivities, and change in intestinal bacteria.
Acne: Many times caused by dairy products.
Depression and Anxiety: Poor sleep, bad diet, untreated stress.
Obesity: Poor sleep, candida dominance in the intestine, poor diet, poor lifestyle.
All of the above can be covered up with drugs to ignore the WARNING.
Much of Western medicine is a result of junk science, teaching doctors to treat symptoms, not patients. It appears that the current medical establishment has a goal of forcing drugs on us to feed the monstrous cash cow. I was just informed that some medical insurance companies will not pay physical therapists for the use of microcurrent therapy or white laser to treat pain. Why should a treatment option without side effects be replaced by drugs with sometimes horrible side effects?
That is the reason that I wrote my last book, WHY? The Question that Could Save Your Life. To have the best chance for a wonderful, healthy and productive life, you must take a strongly proactive part in your healthcare. We don’t have to experience the morbidity associated with aging. Before I woke up to this subject about ten years ago, I was, like many others, having the usual stays in the hospital and going under the knife for very preventable diseases. That is all in the past now and I am experiencing the best health of my life.
At AODTC, my holistic TMJ and sleep apnea practice, we take time on our initial exam to learn as much about the many factors contributing to the patient’s vitality as possible. I have taken the time to study physiology at Cal, acupuncture at UCLA, endocrinology (hormones) at the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine and many more. One example of how my patients benefit is in the case of migraines. My acupuncture training has helped me to find other potential reasons for the migraine symptoms rather than simply labeling it a migraine. I have had patients who were suffering for years, using prescriptions drugs with side effects for headaches, finally able to be free from this horrible pain, without medication!
When your body is crying out for help with warning symptoms, don’t let anyone say to it, “take this pill and stop crying”. You find out why it is crying and take away the cause. It could save your life. Alternative medicine, which includes ancient medicine, concentrates on the total body and mind. It is the future of healthcare.
