ADVICE...
Why is traditional health care not
recognizing the importance of combining alternative medicine to get results?
Have you ever gone to the doctor and been told that if you are taking
supplements or alternative medicine products that they won’t see you as a
patient? I have and have heard of this from other people too. Shocking to
say the least!
Our health care system is tremendously unsupportive if we don’t have the
freedom of choice in how we deal with our own health issues. Is this because
many doctors seem to feel threatened or closed off because they know little
about nutrition, herbs, vitamins and homeopathy? If we choose to go the
natural way and not take the pharmaceutical prescriptions loaded with side
effects, we should still have the right to utilize traditional health care
regardless.
My doctor stressed that he was pushing pharmaceuticals on me because he was
concerned about my health. Yet, when I told him my remedies solved the
health concerns of high blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar, he
literally ordered me out of his office. I asked him why he wouldn’t help
monitor me through blood tests, and his answer strongly reflected that since
I refused to take his prescribed drugs, he did not want me as a client
whatsoever.
If we want to go to Naturopathic doctors, they can’t order blood tests,
x-rays, cat scans, MRIs, ultrasounds or PET scans to help us to find out
what is wrong with us. I feel this is another strike against the health care
system, and it won’t improve until the medical schools start teaching new
programs other than drug therapy. The doctors of any modality are only as
good as what is being taught. Just because someone completes schooling for 4
to 7 years does not make them God -- there are good and bad doctors,
accountants. lawyers, mechanics, and natural healers.
What is also interesting to me is that many have completed their schooling
and then never go back to upgrade or continue learning about what is new.
Recently, I attended a seminar in Seattle on Neurological diseases and
repatterning the brain through nutrition and homeopathy, which is getting
amazing results working together with allopathic medicines on people with
disorders such as MS, ALS, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and Autism. I was the
only person there from Canada. How sad is that? If doctors were really
concerned about your health, would they not want to learn more about other
modalities other than pharmaceutical drugs? We need to take action. Write to
your Government and tell them how you feel.
