The "Secret" About Health Secrets

Without health, life is not life; it is
only a state of languor and suffering.
—François Rabelais (16th century)

While we are physically alive on this earth, a certain amount of pain, suffering and sickness is unavoidable. Things over which we have little control such as bacteria, viruses and even accidents cause many illnesses. --BUT-- I also know an untold “secret”. WE cause many and probably most of our sickness and suffering. Look, for example at the number one cause of deaths in our country – heart attacks and strokes. We live our life gorging on a diet rich in chemical additives and dangerous trans-fats. Our environment is full of chemicals and toxins and as we eat foods grown in this wasteland we get “sick”. It has been proven that changing our diet alone could reduce the incidence of heart problems by nearly 75%!

Hypertension, high blood pressure, is rampant in all age groups now in America and it looks as if the cutting edge wonder drugs we use to treat it are dangerous all by themselves. Studies have shown that treating hypertension with diets like “The Mediterranean Diet” can cure a significant number of people in a relatively short time. The ironic part is we don’t seem to have the will power to stick with a diet of any kind. Instead we rely on the complex combinations of drugs that most Hypertensive patients require — usually five or six medications — as well as the serious complications associated with them.

I thought to myself: If a simple change in diet can cure significantly high blood pressure without the use of any drugs, why would doctors not explain this secret more forcibly to their patients? The Doctors are saying instead that “for most people, it is not practical,” implying that most people lack the discipline to follow a natural cure. Amazing!

Doctors know that natural cures can apply to many conditions — including atherosclerosis, heart attacks, strokes, neurodegenerative diseases, autoimmune disorders, eye diseases, childhood behavioral problems and many cancers.

In our site “Alternative Health Update” we hope to cover some of the most interesting and vexing Health problems and what we can do about them with and without “modern” medicine.

To many of us are overweight and on terrible diets. Many of us drink too much and use or abuse drugs and smoke, all in an effort to “feel” better. In this site we will also cover how we can all feel better naturally while avoiding the medical meltdown that the aforementioned behaviors will inevitable cause.

Many of the health “secrets” that can radically improve our health and lives are not based on hidden knowledge but rather nutritional advice that is simple to understand. Unfortunately, many medical schools simply do not teach doctors about these matters.
Why?

Our doctors are also subjected to the ever-increasing specter of “malpractice” if they go beyond the medical norms. Stay with us while we try to deliver the information you need to help your doctor manage your good health in the new millennium.

The “treat me if I get sick” mindset must change if we are to survive and thrive in today’s world. A new paradigm of health and sickness as being the end result of our daily habits is here. We can avoid a lot of pain, suffering and early death by what understanding that what we set in motion today really will remake our lives tomorrow.
