Choosing between traditional or alternative healthcare can be quite difficult. When making the choice, it can be helpful to consider the modalities, tools, and organizations that support each option. Let’s take a look at each of these.
Modalities:
Traditional Healthcare
The traditional healthcare system offers drugs, vitamins, and minerals produced in labs. It also offers invasive surgeries. There are times when we need these modalities. For example, if you have a gunshot wound and are bleeding profusely, traditional health is the preferred approach. However, for long-term health issues, the unfortunate truth is that this system mainly allows the conditions to fester. This festering continues until the body gets bad enough to justify these drastic modalities. Why? Because the goal of these modalities is often just to manage the body’s ailments and not eliminate them. Scientists must prove a measure of safety for these modalities to prevent the regular killing of people. Also, scientists must demonstrate efficacy in great detail to ensure that the harm these modalities cause is outweighed by the benefits they offer.
Alternative or Natural Healthcare
Offers natural foods, herbs, and supplements. Many things can be do-it-yourself treatments. Beware that the practitioner is not using herbal medicines just to manage the body’s ailments. This is no different than what the traditional modalities do. Actually, the goal should be to spring into action long before the body’s developing ailment can be diagnosed. Once the ailment becomes diagnosable, the goal should be to eliminate it and not just manage it. The modalities used in alternative or natural healthcare tend not to be capable of killing people. Therefore, there is no need to prove their safety in great detail prior to recommending them. Their proof of safety and efficacy tends to emerge as large numbers of people use the modality and achieve consistent results with no harm.
Tools:
Traditional Healthcare
State-of-the-art medical fields diagnostic equipment. CT scans, MRI’s, etc., some of which are toxic, painful, and aggressive. Medicines with side effects. Many things are written in code & hard for the patient to understand.
Alternative or Natural Healthcare
Use hair analysis to help determine body toxicity levels and malnutrition. Symptom-based assessments, saliva and urine analysis are used to determine the body’s nutritional needs. Live Field microscopy to determine the condition of the client’s blood. Natural healthcare makes a major effort to ensure that clients can easily understand everything.
Support:
Traditional Healthcare
Backed by the AMA, which controls doctors, hospitals, and medical schools. Also backed by the FDA, which controls drug manufacturers, and other special interest groups. Finally, pharmaceutical companies back traditional methods that generate substantial revenue from medical drug sales. Since so much money is made in traditional healthcare, major advertising modalities such as television, magazines, and radio stations are affordable. These advertising campaigns mold people’s thinking, convincing them that traditional methods are necessary and the only way to address their ailments.
Alternative or Natural Healthcare
Primarily backed by courageous alternative thinkers and grassroots organizations that understand the need to try and help the body heal. As a result, very little money is made in comparison to traditional healthcare. Therefore, natural healthcare cannot afford to undertake major advertising campaigns to help people recognize the value of the modalities utilized. Further, the traditional healthcare system is taught to slander the alternative healthcare system as quackery.
