Alternative Natural Medicine: What is it? by Madalyn Suozo, SF Natural Health Examiner

Alternative Natural Medicine can be explained in these examples:

Sally was depressed and had a lot of stress. She went to her doctor who gave her an anti-depressant. It helped. But not enough so the doctor added another mood altercation drug. That helped too but it didn't help Sally's anxiety. So she went back to her doctor and he gave her an anti-anxiety drug. Things seemed better except for Sally's inability to think clearly. What do you think she did? Went back to her doctor for Ritalin.

Since insomnia was also an issue, Sally's doctor gave her a drug to put her to sleep. And sleep she did. For the next 20 years Sally got through her day with the help of these pharmaceuticals. The anxiety, depression, insomnia, clouded thinking were always elements in her life. They never went away. But they were subdued and Sally, for the most part was also subdued. She barely held down a job and had no friends. Not too many people liked Sally.

Mary had the same depression, anxiety, foggy thinking and sleepless nights. But her approach was different. She felt there must be something inside herself that was missing that she could correct. Using emotional intelligence, Mary started researching her condition. She believed in the power of nature. She meditated, she prayed and got the right professional help.

What Mary found out was that many moods are connected to not enough catecholamines. Catecholamines are chemicals in the brain. Mary discovered that by making sure that she replenished certain amino acids in her nutritional intake and diet that her focus and concentration returned. With further investigation Mary more completely corrected her biochemistry by making sure she cut out artificial stimulants and many of the toxic elements found in junk food. She ate 3 good quality meals a day consisting of protein, vegetables, fruit with healthy snacks that began to normalize her moods and blood sugar even further.

Exercise creates good brain chemistry so off she went 3 times a week to the gym. Within 6 months Mary was a different person. Friends and family alike were happy to see her feeling so much better. Mary went on to enjoy a healthy marriage, good career and expansion of her accomplishments.

What was the difference between Sally and Mary? One had good quality information and the other did not.


Need I say more about the effectiveness and safety of alternative natural medicine as opposed to pharmaceuticals? Again, drugs just mask the symptoms, but they still remain and other symptoms and diseases might even crop up due to this. On the other hand, if you opt for alternative cures, the body totally eliminates the toxins as it cleanses and balances itself and the symptoms or illness disappear. Alternative medicine attacks the root cause of any disease.
