Alternative Medicine: Weighing The Risks
By Evelyn

Before you try alternative medicine for treatment, please ensure that you are well aware that there are certain risk areas. Read this article to find out!
Those of you who are considering alternative medicine for treatment, please ensure that you are well aware that there are certain risk areas. These areas of risks sprang from the many criticisms of alternative medicine. They range from mere sceptism that this form of medicine does not work to the more extreme warning that they are highly dangerous and can kill.

Here are 6 main criticisms and risks of alternative medicine:

1. Alternative Medicine is difficult to prove.

Some of the therapies used in alternative medicine are really difficult to prove. For instance, in the case of energy healing for the mind and spirit, proponents of alternative medicine may report increased sense of wellness after a treatment session; but really, how to really prove this result?

2. Results from testing Alternative Medicine are not “conclusive”.

Very often, skeptics say that there is no proof that alternative medicine works. Studies done so far are largely on a smaller scale and therefore, skeptics claim that results are inconclusive. This is compared to the randomized, double-blind studies on a large group basis usually done for new pharmaceutical products and surgery.

3. “Natural” does not equal “safe”.

Not many people realize that herbs are not necessarily non-toxic. They think that just because herbs are natural products, they are safe. However, this misconception is dangerous. Although natural, herbs can have very powerful effects. Take for instance, the Chinese herb Ginseng. While ginseng helps to build up immune system and helps to “warm” the body, it is not advisable to overdose on ginseng. An overdose can cause an imbalance to the body, which can result in illness.

4. Improper diagnosis by unqualified alternative medicine practitioners.

As alternative medicine is not properly regulated, there are many practitioners who are not suitably qualified or experienced enough to treat a patient. Improper diagnosis is dangerous especially if he or she is critically ill and needs the appropriate medical attention straight away.

5. Some patients of alternative medicine do not seek the right treatment until it is too late.

This has partly to do with improper diagnosis. In addition, overzealous patients of alternative medicine may postpone the decision to seek conventional medical treatment until it is too late for recovery.

6. Insufficient regulatory requirements by government bodies.

The case of nutritional supplements, which are not regulated by the US government, is often quoted as an example. As long as manufacturers do not make a claim about the ability to cure or treat a disease, nutritional supplements are considered “food products”. If these supplements are classified as food products, manufacturers do not have to prove that they are effective. What is only required is a basic safety test and a “truth in labeling” qualification – the bottle must contain what it says is in it.

This can have disastrous consequences. A prime example is Ephedra, a nutritional supplement sold as an energy booster and weight loss aid, but resulted in deaths.

Laying out the risks in this article is not meant to have the purpose of stopping you from seeking health and wellness solutions. Rather, because of the risk areas, it is to highlight to you that you have a responsibility to research and find out more about the particular alternative medicine treatment method that you are considering.

You also need to keep your doctor informed. There may be a need to adjust the dosages or timing of other medications based on any other supplements that you’re taking. Also, be aware that there is little or no regulation of the outrageous claims that can be made by practitioners of many alternative therapy methods. So, it is also important to choose a practitioner wisely.

There are benefits to alternative medicine. Although I can’t prove anything, I speak from first hand experience. Highly recommended, therefore, is to know enough of what you intend to do and weigh the risks.

Gout Remedy Secrets Your Grandma Knew About

1. Avoid Purines! – What? You should avoid excessive amounts of
animal protein found in foods with high purines. As we have seen
foods that are high in purines lead to higher uric acid levels in the
body which can lead to the onset or flare up of gout. Avoid high
purine foods and eat no more than 6 ounces of meat, fish, or
poultry daily.

2. Limit Alcohol! – Alcohol consumption inhibits the amount of uric
acid your body eliminates (cause of gout). If you are a man, drink
no more than 2 alcoholic beverages per day. For women, drink no
more than 1 alcoholic beverage per day. For those who
experience attacks frequently, you should eliminate alcohol
completely.

3. Lose Weight! – When you are overweight not only is there
more tissue for your body to convert into uric acid, there is also an
unnecessary amount of pressure being placed on your joints. If
you are overweight, reduce your weight gradually and not
drastically.

4. Drink Water! – Water and other fluids can help your body
process and dilute uric acid more efficiently. By drinking 10-12
eight ounce glasses of water a day, you are helping your body
dilute uric acid from your blood and remove it through urine.

Calcium Dissolving- Dissolving Calcium Based kidney stones With Acidic Remedies
Did you know that thousands of kidney sufferers search the
term ‘calcium dissolving’ each month? Why would such a term
be so popular?

Dissolving calcium has been the newest kidney stone natural
remedy that doctors are trying to hide from the public. If you
consider how many millions of dollars of forked over each year
to the medical industry just for kidney stones, it is no wonder
that hospitals are keeping natural acidic remedies ‘hush hush’.

And if you consider that 85% of kidney stones can be dissolved
naturally, you could imagine the financial loss of releasing these
effective remedies.

Maybe it is time you allow Natural Health and your body to treat
your kidney stones?

Calcium Based Kidney Stones

Fact! Calcium kidney stones account for almost 85 percent of all
kidney stones and are most likely to occur in men. The stones
are formed from built-up calcium, combining with oxalate,
phosphate or carbonate.

And the bad news is that any types of kidney stones are painful.
In fact, many women have said that they are as painful as child
birth! Sorry men.

The good news is that kidney stones will most likely always
flush by themselves. If you are currently suffering from the pain
of a kidney stone, chances are that you have already passed
numerous stones but have not realized it.

The second part of the good news is that calcium stones are the
easiest stone to dissolve. In most cases (85% of the time), a
calcium based stone can be dissolved with certain types of acids
or ingredients that contain acids.

But what natural kidney stone remedies work?

Calcium Dissolving Acidic Remedies

Why do acidic remedies work? First off, because acids typically
dissolve most things it is applied to. For instance, your tooth
enamel will erode after drinking too many acidic soft drinks.

And the same thing is applied to calcium based (a lot softer than
tooth enamel) kidney stones! The acids in certain beverages,
certain fruits and certain foods can actually work to naturally
dissolve the kidney stones. The body then will be able to flush
them out of your kidneys when the stones become crystals.

Here is a list of acidic remedies our natural health company
endorses.

1. Phosphoric Acid- Phosphoric acid has been around for
decades and is even used to keep soft drinks tangy. It is
thought that a high potency of phosphoric acid is all that is
needed to dissolve calcium stones as big as 1 cm in diameter.
We also recommend to chase the remedy with a high water-
soluble fiber puree to flush the kidneys.

2. Lemon Juice- Lemon juice is obviously acidic! The lemon juice
will break down the stones to passable levels. If consumed
with olive oil, you can actually lubricate the urinary tract to help
pass the stones after the dissolution process. This natural
remedy has been reported to work in less than 2 hours.

3. Cherry Remedy- Though this remedy is possibly the newest
remedy, it has been helpful to some of our customers. In the
1950s, a study by Dr. Ludwig W Blau showed that consuming 6-
8 cherries during a gout attack would relieve the symptoms.
However, new research has also shown that consuming cherries
because of their acidic levels could also dissolve kidney stones.

Now the Rest of the Story

Natural health can literally change your life! But it is important
not to treat remedies like your favorite recipe. In other words,
you should NOT play the ‘guessing game’ of what you should
take and what amount you should take.
