Guest guest Posted April 13, 2000 Report Share Posted April 13, 2000 Just a quick interesting little note here in regards Allopathic Medicine vs. Naturopathic. The Allopath will treat a headache with Aspirin. The headache goes away and everybody's happy right? The doctor gets $90 for the 3 minute office visit and $5 for the bottle of Aspirin and gets to play a lot of golf after his patients leave for the day. The person who is new to Herbalism may also think along these lines and think that all he needs to do is take some White Willow Bark and all his problems are solved. The big problem is, that the patient will be back again in 4 weeks (when his Aspirin or White Willow Bark runs out) and go through the whole procedure over and over again and yet still have his headaches. People rationalize this by saying to themselves, "Well, I'm just prone to headaches (or) I've suffered from Migraines all my life and it runs in the family". Or the classic dumb, dumb; "Sheesh, I must be suffering from an Aspirin deficiency". They go on living like this for years thinking that this is the way life is. A tried and true Naturopath realizes that there is a "Cause" behind these headaches and that if you handle the "Cause" the headaches will disappear for good = FOREVER!!! It has been my experience that 80% of all headaches (including Migraine) are cause by a clogged up bowel and bad nutrition. Also, that number rose to about 98% when the stress (suppression) factor was removed from their life. Interesting huh??? Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
