Naturopathy

I have always said that medicine has forgotten to be what medicine is supposed to be. Meaning that conventional medicine no longer heals its patients, it only helps them feel better by covering up their symptoms with different forms of pain killers. Once they prescribe you some medication you are stuck taking it for life, because you think that that is the only option to help you keep living. But there is another option naturopathy:

"Naturopathic medicine is based on the belief that the human body has an innate healing ability. Naturopathic doctors (NDS) teach their patients to use diet, exercise, lifestyle changes, and cutting edge  natural therapies to enhance their bodies' ability to ward off an combat disease. NDs view the patient as a complex, interrelated system (a whole person), not as a clogged artery or tumor. Naturopathic physicians craft comprehensive treatment plans that blend the best of modern medical science and traditional natural medical approaches to not only treat disease, but also restore health."

 This is by no means a quick fix to any disease or illness, but it does give you a much better chance at living a longer and more fulfilling life. No longer limiting your self because of your disease or illness, or the side affect that your medication produces; with natural healing the only side affect is that you feel and  are actually better.
