A Holistic Look at Life After 65

For so long we as Americans have been duped into believing that we need a pill for this and a pill for that. Many of us have a long list of medications that we take for various ailments. Do we know what all the medications are for? Do we know what the contraindications are? Do we know what the drug interactions of all the medications can be? Are we relying on our pharmacist’s and our MD’sto keep us healthy?

It is time for the people of our country to take the responsibility for their health care. We all have the ability to know when our bodies need our attention for one thing or another. The body gives off various clues as to what is going on with it. We need to be open to listening to these clues so that we can take care of the issues as soon as they present themselves. The best time to heal the body of what is ailing it is in the first 24 hours of onset of symptoms.

The main problem with AMA medicine is the fact that it treats the symptoms and not the cause of the symptoms. Prescription drugs are all toxic at some level. With homeopathic remedies you are using something that is toxic at no level. Homeopathic remedies don’t treat the symptoms they treat the root cause of the symptoms.

Go to your local health food store and look around. Read the ingredients, quite a few of the products can be made at home for much less money.
