Celebreties root for alternative medicine.

[Guest guest]

Dear Friends,

 

After Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar came out with the stunning statement

that, "I subject myself only to ayurveda. I don't take allopathic medicines", it

is now the turn of his alter-ego, Hollywood star Tom Cruise to air his own

views.

 

(Akshay Kumar. While shooting for Priyadarshan’s Garam Masala he banged his head

against a wooden cabinet, leading to profuse bleeding. Recalling the experience

Akshay says, “There was panic on the sets. The blood just wouldn’t stop.

Everyone thought it was far more serious than it actually was. I was advised

stitches. But I chose to use ayurvedic healing…I never take allopathic

medicines…

The ALTERNATIVE MENTAL HEALTH News

 

Only in America of 2005 would you find a celebrity like Tom Cruise

having to defend the idea that non-drug solutions like vitamins and

exercise are a healthier choice than antidepressants.

 

Unless you were on Mars this past month, you heard the media bashing

Cruise for suggesting that there are healthier alternatives for mental

problems than psychiatric drugs. Some reporters were positively

indignant, dragging out commentaries from the American Psychiatric

Association that Cruise's views were irresponsible and completely out

of synch with the rest of the modern world.

 

Well, not quite, guys.

 

Agreeing with Cruise would be...oh, about half a billion Chinese who

still rely on traditional Chinese medicine, practiced for thousands of

years, and would never dream of taking an anti-depressant. I guess we

should toss in those in Japan, Korea, and other Asian nations who feel

the same.

 

Then there are all the traditional healers in developing nations from

Colombia to Nigeria to the Sultanate of Oman, who have been treating

mental problems without drugs for centuries. Did you know that

schizophrenics recover far faster in Nigeria than in the US? The UN

was so shocked to discover this that they studied it twice and got the

same results.

 

And I suppose we should throw in the millions in India who, instead of

drugs, use Ayurvedic medicine. They, too, apparently join Cruise in

the dunce's corner, according to the media.

 

And, of course, there are the fundamentalist Christians who believe

that mind-altering drugs should not be used as a "crutch" (remember

that use of the word?), there are the Christian Scientists who use no

drugs, and there are the Scientologists (including Cruise).

 

And while we're at it, let's include about a few million American

grandparents who remember a time when you didn't drug kids for

misbehaving or adults who were depressed but you addressed the matters

with common sense solutions.

 

And gee whiz, I guess we'll have to include the thousands of

alternative physicians, holistic psychiatrists, nutritional

psychologists, naturopathic doctors, homeopaths, chiropractors,

nutritionists, herbalists, and other healers, in the U.S. alone, and

all of their faithful patients.

 

Supreme arrogance is when you believe that if you don't know about it,

it must not be important. With this Cruise controversy, the media and

the psychiatric community have really laid bare their ignorance of

healthy alternatives in mental health and their arrogance in believing

they have nothing to learn about alternatives.

 

Let's hope this fracas has brought a little more attention to the

healthy options that are out there.

I totally agree with Akshay kumar and Tom Cruise not

taking help of allopathy instead aurveda or other

drugless therapies.

 

I go further and say that No organism in the

universe take medicine and therefore medicines are not

required for a human body .Allopathy is couple of

hundred years old .some other therppies are also some

hundred years old.While Ayurveda is some thousands

years old .but human race existed even when no therapy

was avalable. if at all medicine is required for a

human to exist then at that time when no medicine was

avalable human race would have vanished like

dinasores.My above point clearly proves that body do

not need any outside medicine.

Every organism has a inside inteligence and that

inbuilt mechanism in all organisms animals take care

of ailments.Body intelligence know better about the

body than a allopathy M.D or any otheer practictiner

of other therpies.as per darwin human race evolved

from monkey .Monkey also do not need medicine.Now if

the human race suffers from ailments it is due to some

other causes and that causes should be found out and

medicine is not the right way .

I strongly belive that man do not need any kind of

medicine at all .I shall recomend allopathy only in

case of accidents and some immergencies such as

cesarean.

 

now one may come across some ailments but cause may

lie in his behaviour or life style or habitts.every

body requires fresh air , sunlight, exersise , proper

sleep and polution less mind and food.

Worries ,tension,enxiety,greed,

anger,jealousy,hatred,fear these are the real

bacterias and unless these are contro

led one can not have health.

now we the human do not have control on our

environment and may be even after following all these

things one may have ailments then atlest he may not

use outside drug and chemicals to fight the ailment

one may use urine therpy[it is the fluide from the

body andtherfore can not harm the body and inside

chemical is more sitable than outside chemicals],water

therpy that is drinking one liter water without

brushing that is ensuring that entire saliva goes

inside stomach with lot of quantity of water say one

liter.Now saliva inside chemical is far better than

any other chemical manufactured by industry.In

ayurveda

medicine are mostly plants and we in daily life we are

eating plants as vegitables and therefore they are

more suitable to human being.

 

So therefore i shall like to state that normaly one

should not take any medicine at all .he should look to

the nature for guidance .As for as possible he should

not deviate from natuere.and then if he requires

medicines then he should take drugless or chemicalless

therpies or noninvasive therpies.
