Natural healing and remedies are often the best way to go for a variety of health and wellness issues. Unlike antibiotics or other pharmaceuticals or surgery, side effects are few to none. The cost is low by comparison with traditional medicine; significant results may be noticed rather quickly. And, of course, medical doctors,  drugs and technology play a valuable role in our overall health care also.

Whenever I am not feeling well, I turn to natural holistic healing options first. This fall I became quite ill with extreme fatigue, very weak muscle control, extremely elevated blood pressure, some abdominal pain and mental confusion,  memory loss and more. I got in to see my doctor as a “work in” patient. He wrote prescriptions for antibiotics and a muscle relaxant. I hadn’t taken either of these for many years and wasn’t about to start then.

I went home and considered  things I already had that could help me. I used a combination of intuition and muscle testing (applied kinesiology). From that, I discovered I had both a bacterial infection,  a viral infection and a parasite infestation. I began using organic oregano oil (an essential therapeutic oil) , colloidal silver  and a homeopathic for parasites. In a few days, I began feeling much better and continued to improve daily with no negative side effects.

With the prescriptions, I would have had a variety of debilitating side effects (based on past experience) including extreme fatigue and would have ended up in bed. Antibiotics always kill off the good bacteria in your digestive system and often create or escalate yeast infections in addition to having the potential for some really scary side effects and allergic reactions. Also, so many people are becoming resistant to antibiotics since these drugs are liberally used with cattle and other sources of meat.

And, yes, if I am in a serious accident, have appendicitis or some other potentially life threatening conditions, I’m going to get to a doctor as quickly as possible. I encourage you to do what you know to do to help yourself, identify one or more excellent natural health practitioners and find a highly skilled doctor you like and trust. Then learn which source of help to turn to for each health and wellness concern you have. Use your sense of inner knowing and power to choose what is best for your mind, body and spirit. You’ll feel better and be happier.
