When Science Gets Dismissed As “Alternative”

~ admin ~ Leave a comment

“I have to remember that every revolutionary scientist was first dismissed by the mainstream as “cuckoo.” Then, when enough people came to realize that the revolutionary idea was simply truth, others came on board, and ideas like “the world is round” became mainstream. Note to self: “Lissa, these things take time. Patience, grasshopper.”” – L Rankin, MD

DoctorWithAppleI gave Grand Rounds at One Medical in San Francisco. For those of you not familiar with Grand Rounds, it’s a lecture where all the doctors gather in the hospital to learn about the latest research. The lectures tend to be dry- lots of data, lots of slides, lots of science- and it’s not the sort of format that lends itself to debate or discussion afterwards.

I’ve been speaking all over the country on my book tour for Mind Over Medicine, and most of the audiences are a mix of empowered patients, conscious doctors, alternative health care providers, and hospital staff. I’m also training very open-minded doctors in the Whole Health Medicine Institute, so I have some experience speaking to doctors.

But giving Grand Rounds is a whole different ball game. Frankly, I was terrified.

My talk was titled “How The Doctor Can Be The Medicine,” about how rather than simply prescribing drugs, as doctors, our presence can be a force for healing. I loaded these doctors up with scientific data from our most respected journal, The New England Journal of Medicine, to support my point, sharing the data that demonstrates that the doctor can be either the placebo or its evil twin opposite, the nocebo, depending on whether, as doctors, we are kind, compassionate, and optimistic versus rude, rushed, and pessimistic.

Ancient Chinese Remedy Tames Arthritis Pain

~ admin ~ Leave a comment

“Natural remedies often fill the void where pharmaceuticals don’t, and vice versa. TwHF isn’t currently prescribed in the United States for rheumatoid arthritis and pain relief, but it is in China.” D Juan

arthritisAre you finding that the drugs touted by big pharma and prescribed by most doctors aren’t helping your painful rheumatoid arthritis? You’re not alone. And what other options are there, really? It’s a tough pain to treat. But wait…there’s some news about a natural remedy from China that could actually outdo the most popular pharmaceutical.

The pharmaceutical industry is a billion-dollar industry and one of the biggest forces to be reckoned with in the United States. It has extreme political power and isn’t always motivated by the best intentions. Although the industry’s products are supposed to keep you feeling healthy, at the end of the day, it is all about generating profits. Big pharmacy is great at making money, and they do a great job controlling the healthcare and treatments most Americans receive.

Ancient and alternative treatments not offered by big pharma continue to prove they can hang with the most expensive and newest treatments. This is great news for those of you who choose to stay away from medications created in a lab, instead opting for healing techniques that have worked for centuries.

Tripterygium wilfordii Hook F (TwHF), also known as thunder god vine, is an ancient Chinese herbal remedy that has been used for centuries to relieve joint pain and treat inflammation. And you know what? It works just as well as the rheumatoid arthritis drug treatment that’s widely prescribed.

Results from a recent study published in the Annals of Rheumatoid Arthritis—a medical journal internationally recognized for its work on arthritis—show that TwHF is just as effective as the popular methotrexate for treating rheumatoid arthritis, a condition affecting roughly 1.5 million people in America.

Mike Adams ~ U.S. Government May Force Doctors To Accept Obamacare And Medicare Patients, Eventually At Gunpoint

~ admin ~ Leave a comment

NaturalNews  November 4 2013

Alternative medicineThe primary tool of socialism is force, and while that force usually begins with good intentions codified into law, it inevitably ends up with the kind of force used by Mao Zedong to murder millions of his own citizens. “Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun,” he famously stated, and Obama-supporting democrats are following in his footsteps.

Word from the street is that Kathleen Murphy, a democrat running for the House, wants to make it a legal requirement that doctors accept Medicare and Obamacare patients.

Many doctors, of course, have already announced that will not accept such patients because they would go bankrupt if they did. The government’s payout on medical services rendered to patients in these groups is a total joke, you see: doctors sometimes receive only 30% of what they actually billed. And they can’t negotiate, either. The government simply tells you what you “get” to receive in terms of payment, regardless of how much you actually billed as a doctor.

So forcing doctors to accept Medicare / Obamacare patients is the same as forcing them to work for free. Most doctors won’t work for free, as they have their own families to financially support, so they’ll simply quit the industry altogether. That, in turn, will cause a radical worsening of the existing doctor shortage across the USA, resulting in yet more people going without health care.

Force doctors to practice medicine at gunpoint

The reaction by democrats to all this, of course, will be to make it illegal for doctors to quit. And that will sooner or later be enforced at gunpoint, because force is the only tool that socialists really understand since they operate in total ignorance of the mechanisms of the free market and informed consumer choice. With Obama and the democrats, it’s always “Mandate! Mandate! Mandate!” even if it means assigning a government paramilitary worker to hold a pistol to the head of every doctor across America to make them see patients against their will.

Effective, Easy, And Inexpensive Heavy Metal Detox Agent

NaturalSociety  August 9 2013

If you’ve been tracking alternative health news here on Natural Society or elsewhere long enough, you should be well aware of how ubiquitous heavy metals are in our environment and foods. You should also know that they are toxic, and tend to get trapped in our body tissues. NaturalSociety has already unveiled numerous ways to detox heavy metals from the body, but let’s add another detox agent to the list – zeolite.

Eliminating Heavy Metal Toxins Safely, Effectively, and Cheaply

Mercury, aluminum, and lead all cause neurological damage. We are all exposed to them from medical and dental applications, processed foods, old paint coverings and plumbing, industrial waste pollutants, and even chemtrails. Heavy metal molecules tend to be stubbornly enmeshed in internal tissue matter or remain in the blood because they cannot be metabolized or filtered out easily by the liver and kidneys or eliminated through the skin with perspiration. This situation leads to long term bad health issues, DNA damage, and disease. It is essential to detox these heavy metals out to experience enhanced health.

Any kind of detoxification, even sweating, lifts some burden off of the body’s immune system and encourages internal organ homeostasis (balance) to occur and promote healing. People who are ill get well, and people who are not apparently ill feel younger, stronger, and happier.

But sweating alone is probably not enough. You may have heard of chelation therapy, which is pricey, a tad risky, and requires a medically trained person to administer. What about detoxing from heavy metals and other toxins at home cheaply? You can try consuming these 6 foods for heavy metal chelation, or you could try utilizing the inexpensive solution below.

4 Simple Steps To Claim Your Infinite Gifts Through Releasing Old Energies

Academy4InvincibleHealers July 6 2013

Do you find that past experiences haunt you and bring up old emotions you thought were released?

If the answer is YES, then I want to encourage you to dive into what is coming up for you.

Explore the new transformational healing that wants to happen through these old emotions.

I have found a lot of times that healers want to hide the old stuff from themselves, hoping that another simple white light healing (or something like it) easily takes care of the whole thing.

Instead, being in the ongoing process with old energies and exploring the gifts they have for you, allows you to step into your power as an invincible healer for yourself and others.

I guarantee the same part that “does not want to go there” is the same part that resists you from showing up more powerfully and helping more people as a healer.

What can you do to effectively navigate the gifts of “old energies” that keep coming back?
