A woman stands in line at the post office waiting to send a wedding gift to her friend. The man behind her begins to sneeze, sometimes covering his face, sometimes not. Everyone in line becomes nervous, clearing questioning whether they should stay in line or escape from whatever germs the man is spraying into the room.
The most recent outbreak of Swine flu is another wake-up call to
pay careful attention to the choices we make... especially with regards to our bodies.
For years I've used natural, non-invasive healing modalities for myself and tried to convince others to do the same. The allopathic or Western medical approach often involves prescribing drugs to cure illness. The trouble is, these drugs may solve a short-term health problem and create the long-term nightmare called an antibiotic resistant superbug.
For example, in the article Promising Antibiotic Could Spawn the Next Superbug
(Discover Magazine, April 2009 by Jessica Ruvinsky)
the “next-generation antibiotic” called bacteriophages, bacteria destroying viruses, could spawn the next “superbug”. Superbug is a commonly used term for antibiotic resistant organism.
Hospitals worldwide are dealing with the human-made problem of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), a virulent strain of bacteria. Often, the improper use of biocides (bacteria killing chemicals such as those found in disinfectants) merely helps to spread the disease.
“In part, modern medicine is paying the price for its own success. “Antibiotics may be the most powerful evolutionary force seen on this planet in billions of years,” says Tufts University microbiologist Stuart Levy, author of The Antibiotic Paradox: How the Misuse of Antibiotics Destroys Their Curative Powers. By their nature, antibiotics support the rise of any bug that can shrug off their effects, by conveniently eliminating the susceptible competition.”
Karma is created by the choices we make. By making better choices about the drugs and medications we use to heal our bodies, we can lessen our harmful impact on the planet. Consider natural remedies to health issues and seek advice from a qualified naturopath or homeopath.
Is there a natural way to heal health issues? Given the choice, would natural ingredients or manufactured drugs be the best choice to heal the body?
We ALL need to wake-up and look at how we are
individually and collectively harming ourselves and the planet in the long term.
What did the woman standing in line at the Post Office do? She went outside for some fresh air and drove home to boost her immune system with garlic capsules.
Until next time, bliss & blessings to All,
Caryn
