As a Registered Veterinary Technician for over 24 years, I can honestly say veterinary emergency and specialty medical staff have a much better understanding of medicine than human medical people. I have learned enough to know that natural medicine (herbs, vitamins, supplements and a healthy diet) is best in almost every case. There are somethings that do require conventional medical intervention, but there is usually a natural treatment that will work better without the side effect. (I had an infected splinter in my thumb which was causing redness, pain and swelling. I put a poultice of goldenseal on it overnight and by the next day the pain, swelling and redness was gone. A few days later the splinter fell out.) I experiment on my self with supplements and herbs to treat any symptoms I may be feeling and do my research. I have come to believe that "viruses" have never been isolated, purified,or proven to exist or cause disease. I have also come to understand that any and all "flu-like symptoms" are caused by 3 possible things:

1) Nutrient deficiencies - vitamins, minerals or other things found in herbs and plants

2) Allergies to various things but most significantly to certain foods like dairy (or anything that comes from cattle), wheat, latex-like proteins in fruits, etc.

3) Toxins - Glyphosate, aluminum, mercury, arsenic, vaccines, "medications" and a whole host of others that we aren't told about.

Just my opinion bases on several years of research and my own experience. People think I'm crazy until they start looking into these things.

I used to tell my patients not to believe anything any health professional (including me) said until they checked it out for themselves. Trouble is I don’t think any of them ever did. It’s great writing stacks like yours but you are probably preaching to the converted.

As a professional 'lab-rat' I can only agree, too many bought the lies, worse the commercial interests lies, and still cannot face the truth they were conned.

Thanks, this reminds me of a poem I wrote a while back.

-

There isn't a pill for every ill.

Or a potion for every commotion.

No single suture stitches every wound.

Or universal remedy - readily consumed.

Health is a habit,

Disease, a diagnosis.

Both play a part in the patient's prognosis.

But underpinning much of our suffering

Holding back healing.

Stress, Inflammation, Toxins and Fatigue.

The four pillars of modern metabolic disease.

Tame those woes and harmony flows,

The way nature truly intended it.

I love preventative medicine.

Because an ounce of prevention is worth a pound in cure.

If you can promote healthy habits, whilst minimizing exposure to toxins and stress etc, we would see an immense change throughout society.

It won't stop all disease processes.

It won't eliminate all suffering.

But it will reduce the strain on our healthcare system.

Promote community cohesion.

Improve moods and the quality of life.

Likely stimulate the economy (less sick days)

If only health promotion, coaching and other resources to help communities learn how to both cheaply and effectively, diet, move, declutter and prevent harm were more available.

We wouldn't have bandaids on top of bandaids, on top of bandaids. Forever and ever.
