Guest guest Posted February 6, 2004 Report Share Posted February 6, 2004 Doctor Yourself is one of the best health related websites on the net and completely noncommercial. If you have health problems and do not know what to do, you have an information problem. Information is plentifull on the internet and this site is one of the best. The majority of health problems are covered here. In our Alternative Medicine Forum we have a huge list of links to other sites which cover almost all aspects of alternative health care. We have over 18,000 searchable messages/articles in our archives that you can become self educated about almost anything that has to do with your health and what information is avalable. All of these articles that I posted from Doctoryourself.com are already in our archives along with hundreds more from this site. There is a link to this site on our links page. The problems usually is the person searching is really lacking in information that needs to be addressed by self education and that is what our group is set up for, self education. Read the postings, read the archives, read other sites listed on our links page. Read our new online message boards. The problem isn't what vitamin pill do I take for what condition it is how do I educate myself so that I will understand what is going on and how do I correct all of these things. That requires a journey into change. Change from relying on someone else to tell us what to do. Change in our own personal lifestyles. Changes in our diet. Changes in our knowledge about nutrients, vitamins, fatty acids, etc. Changes in the way we think. That cannot be corrected by a supplement. That can only be corrected by puttting into our brain the necessary things to give ourself knowledge to do all of those things. We have to read and not just ask questions and look for a short answer to everything.We all want the quick fix. Just take a pill and make it go away. Ah that is usually the real problem. We all want the benefits without the work. That is the human condition. That is what we first need to overcome. Then we need to read. Read the archives. Read the links which have sites like Dr. Saul's Doctor Yourself . Com. Read the files section. Read books from the library. Read what comes up on a search engine results. You usually first have to alter your thinking a little and then alter your approach to problem solving. Research instead of asking someone a question. That used to be difficult, but it is relatively easy today with the internet. When you run out of research, that is the time to ask questions. The choice is the difference between a poor fast solution and a good lasting solution. That is the first change necessary for the person to get healthy. Our groups is for the good lasting solution. For that it requires a choice into reading and self education and sharing that same information with the others.

" If we doctors threw all our medicines into the sea, it would be that much better for our patients and that much worse for the fishes. " Oliver Wendell Holmes, M.D. I have seen the foolishness of conventional disease care wisdom. I have seen hospitals feed white bread to patients with bowel cancer and hospitals feed " Jello " to leukemia patients. I have seen schools feed bright red " Slush Puppies " to 7 year olds for lunch and I have seen children vomit up a desk-top full of red crud afterwards. And, I have seen those same children later line up at the school nurse for hyperactivity drugs. I have seen hospital patients allowed to go two weeks without a bowel movement. I have seen patients told that they have six months to live when they might live sixty months. I have seen people recover from serious illness, only to have their physician berate them for having used natural healing methods to do so. I have seen infants spit up formula while their mothers were advised not to breast feed. I've seen better ingredients in dog food than in the average school or hospital lunch. And I have seen enough. Don't bother looking in the history books for what has slaughtered the most Americans. Look instead at your dinner table. There's an old saying: " One fourth of what you eat keeps you alive. The other three-fourths keep your doctor alive. " We eat too much of the wrong things and not enough of the right things. Scientific research continually indicates nationwide vitamin and mineral deficiencies in our country. We spend over one million million dollars (one trillion) each year on disease care in America. Is it any surprise that doctors consistently place among the very highest incomes? " And we have made of ourselves living cesspools, and driven doctors to invent names for our diseases. " Plato Nearly two-thirds of a million men died in the Civil War. All other U.S. wars put together add about another two-thirds of a million soldiers killed. That means that about 1,300,000 Americans have died, totally, in all the wars in U.S. history. That is a lot of deaths. Today, right now, we lose more than that number of Americans each year because of cancer and heart disease. So always remember that disease is the real enemy. About 10 million soldiers were killed in World War I, charging machine guns and getting mowed down month after month. There were nearly a million casualties at the Somme and another million at Verdun. A terrible slaughter went on for four years. Yet, in just the two years following the war, over 20 million people died from influenza. That is more than twice as many deaths from the flu in one-half the time it took the machine guns. During the American Civil War, three times as many soldiers died from disease as from battle. Today, alcohol and tobacco kill nearly as many Americans in one year as the entire Civil War did in four. Results are all that matter to me. Alternative medicine works. The natural treatment of illness can be accomplished safely, inexpensively, and effectively. We've all been taught that anything that is safe and inexpensive cannot possibly be really effective against " real diseases. " It is time to rethink that, and especially to see for yourself what works. My work is not prescription, but rather description. I'd like for us to be free to utilize any reasonable health care approach. To decide, we need education far more than medication. Each treatment regimen included here is not mine. I do not stay up late at night making all this up. These ideas are not original. They are generally not new, either. I have collected the safest and most effective healing approaches that I can find from physicians worldwide. I hope you find them to be as helpful as they have been for my family. Natural healing is not about avoiding doctors. It is about not needing to go to doctors. A dentist is not upset if you are cavity-free. A doctor should not be upset if you are healthy. The idea is to be well. The first step is wanting to be. The old Chinese saying is " When you are sick of sickness, you are no longer sick. " The second step is to do something to improve your health. Each of us is ultimately responsible for our own wellness. I think we should leave no stone unturned in our search for better health. I also believe that you get out of your body what you put into it. Your body will respond to your efforts to improve your health. The time to start is right now. Another old saying: " If not now, when? If not here, where? If not you, then who? " " It's supposed to be a secret, but I'll tell you anyway. We doctors do nothing. We only help and encourage the doctor within. " Albert Schweitzer, M.D. WARNING: This website contains controversial scientific ideas that may be of an offensive nature to some well-educated persons.
