Guest guest Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 I have to agree with Lori on this one, though it is not in every hospital, I am a nurse as well in a hospital and while it is very very slow in coming, natural medicine is not looked at favorably by most of the modern medical society, especially doctors. I am a master herbalist and I make lots of herbal products, and I have lots of people who use them and love them. I have been able to get a few of the doctors to use a few of the things that I make, but do they believe in them, not really, they just think they are an oddity. However, our wound care area is now using honey on wounds to help with the healing. Now, if they would just add the wheat germ oil and comfrey, lol! It appears to me that the more educated in the medical world that people become, the more resistant they become to natural holistic healing. When I get a doctor who tries bullying me for my beliefs, I just tell them.those who refuse to understand or believe in natural healing go to medical school to become doctors. And then I leave. It usually shuts them up. How sad that the arrogance of the medical profession reaches so deeply into the pockets and vitals of their very beings. Well, enough said. Doctors have their place, it is just not in the everyday flow of things IMHO. Cindy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 Fortunately many pharmacists are becoming quite savy. They can also legally recommend a natural supplement and suggest diffusing and visit with a patient about the properties. I just got a prescription I looked up which is bascially a super charged B6, B 12, Folate and that was presribed by my primary and he's coming around to alternative things. He forgot I was the one years ago to suggest the 'quaifenisin' theory. It failed me but did help others. He offered that about a year later and I laughed and told him 'I was the one who told YOU about that ' LOL! Things are changing and we are in a situation we will have to re-examine stuff that were assumed ineffective. Cancer Center's of America are implementing alternative measures to include Reiki and we simply will be FORCED to find alternatives to what we have been doing (gen society, gvt. programs and grants) to deal with mutating virus's and creating 'virus' unfriendly atmosphere'.....and I believe that to be the use of essentials oils. One for the principles the other environmental changes, promoting more calm, faster healing etc. They did do that with color with some good success. Whether or not they still do I don't know. How does that song go? 'Its a long time coming, but I know a change is gonna come, oh yes it is.....' I'm seeing more open minds with the younger doctors . The nurses however are generally the first to implement this practice in their own homes with their own family. This is where I make the majority of my sales...ER. West African Black soap is a constant seller , the hypallergenic soap is another and then the BBW type in a better base and safer fo if they want it or eo as well. And we are fortunate in that using aromatherapy that we will have multifaceted postive effects to include a nice personal scent (or soap collection) that is actually good for you and preventative at the same time. I'm one of those people who believes that everything we need to heal, cure and rebalance is already here in nature and it just makes me sick to see parts of the rainforrest stripped and wild life sanctuaries being made unstable. If any of my children end up in a hospital again, I will be bringing my eo's and my own antibacterial wipes. This also is excellent to use for everything from personal meditation to groups and I find no flaw in relgious practice with it or learning how to find that 'calm' place inside with the release of a scent. Clinically, soooooooooooo many ways this would work. This literally could encourage memories for those blocked who need help ,teaching one who is ill how to meditate using a scent as their cue and then back to the obvious benefits. I wish people understood how powerful this truly is. e , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 We were using honey and milk of mag on bed sores over 30 years ago and with the doc's approval. He just said tell me what you are using that's working and I'll write the order. Yes, we did it backwards. That's was over 30 years ago.

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 Hi All, Yes I agree, finding doctors to enlist natural medicine can be a rarity. My Family's personal physician after being in family practice for over 20 years just recently gave up her association with the clinic she had practiced in for that same length of time. When I spoke to the clinic they said she gave it up and went into 'Emergency Medicine'. Having known her for almost the whole 20 years I got to thinking why she would give up her 3 days a week at her practice (there are more than a dozen doctors at the clinic) and go into emergency medicine. I put two and two together. About 7 years ago she took a year sabatical to do a indepth study of nutrition. (You know - You are what you eat. An approach to preventative health.) In the 20 years we have known her she has ALWAYS been open to Aromatherapy, Herbs and supplements. All natural ways of healing. In fact, she was intrumental for us to introduce Aromatherapy into several nursing homes she worked at. Although I haven't spoken to her -to find out why she switched. It makes a lot of sense to me as - she wants to practice medicine - but not be dictated to by the 'clinics' policy. They do not believe in natural remedies and I'm sure she didn't " PUSH " enough drugs to satify their needs. By her having to deal with 'emergencies' she can practice medicine for accidents, injuries, critical care - without necessarily having to 'push' medicines she doesn't believe in. Yes, we now have to search for a new doctor. Hope we can find someone as open as her. That is hard here in Northeastern MN as most folks are still in the dark ages when it comes to Aromatherapy, Herbs and even supplements. When we hear a hospital or doctor is open for using essential oils (aromatherapy) we are more than happy to get them headed in the right direction, even if it first starts with the nursing and care staff (the real caretakers of the infirm).
