Educate yourself about medical resources available to you. This site is presented to help you research alternative medical treatments, natural and herbal remedies and different ways of thinking about how to solve specific medical problems.  Please read our disclaimer.

Alternative Medicine

Alternative medicine has been used by people in other cultures for many years.  Some treatments are very effective for some people.  Others may only work because the patient believes they will work, much like the way placebos sometimes work in medical experiments.  However, we believe that the more you know about the options, the more you will be able to make intelligent, informed decisions about the medical treatment, which may be right for you and your particular medical conditions.  Please read our disclaimer.

     Take a pill.

Do you have high blood pressure, are you constipated, do you suffer from skin problems or do you have other physical or mental ailments?
Don’t attribute any of these problems to your mental state, your eating or sleeping habits, your level of exercise, your level of stress or your physical environment.
     Just blame your problems on a chemical imbalance and take a pill.

SUMMARY:
No matter what your condition, disease, ailment or symptoms are, do not try to discover the root cause of your medical or emotional problem. Do not seek a second opinion or make an appointment with a chiropractor, an acupuncturist, a nutritionist, a massage or aroma therapist, a Yoga instructor, or others who practice treatments used by other cultures for thousands of years.

Just follow the “American Way” to medical treatment: Take a pill, have surgery, or simply ignore the problem. Or... if you have some doubts about whether that system benefits you or whether the benefits only go to the doctors and the drug industry, you may want to at least explore some alternatives.
