New “Wonder Drug” for Chronic Conditions: Homeopathy
HOMEOPATHY
Frank King
Diseases that claim the most lives worldwide are not infectious diseases but chronic ones, including heart disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes, lung disease, obesity, and arthritis. Conventional medicine has no cure, but researchers have now chosen lifestyle as the likely culprit.
They say 80% of chronic disease is related to lifestyle. This puts all the blame back on people (“It’s all your fault for making poor lifestyle choices”). I agree and disagree. I agree that lifestyle is a huge paid of the chronic disease equation, and chiropractors have long been champions of educating and encouraging people to adopt healthier lifestyles. I also disagree because lifestyle is not the whole story. Toxicity is a huge paid of the problem, and the biggest culprit is the chemical-pharmaceuticalmedical industry itself.
The elephant in the room that the medical industry doesn’t want to mention is that the leading cause of death in this country is due to drags prescribed by doctors. Perhaps the reason for shifting all of the blame to the people is because conventional medicine’s “wonder drags” offer no cure for chronic disease. Of course, the heroic measures that Western medicine utilizes in acute cases, such as injuries and car accidents, is impressive. However, they have no answers for chronic conditions. They have tried attacking chronic conditions the same way they do acute care, with drags and surgery—“suppress and slash.” It doesn’t work, and conventional pharmaceutical drags ai e paît of the problem.
Take a look at the 2013 annual death rates1 for the United States and their causes:
• Heart disease: 611,105 • Cancer: 584,881 • Conventional medicine2: 783,936
For example, properly dosed acetaminophen (Tylenol) sends more people to the emergency room with acute liver failure than any other cause. Even the FDA recognizes the danger in people assuming these drags aie harmless. They’re not. In July of 2015, the FDA issued its strongest warning measures to be placed on the labels of NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drags) such as Advil. These drags can and do lead to heart failure, heart attacks, stroke, liver damage, and internal bleeding.
Many pharmaceutical drags contain toxic heavy metals such as aluminum and mercury.
Toxins enter our systems from the environment (indoor and outdoor), but also from pharmaceutical drags (both Rx and OTC), agricultural and food processing chemicals, body care products, and water. In the past 70 years, the chemical industry has bombarded our population with thousands of manmade chemicals, with hundreds present even before birth.3
The good news is that homeopathy offers hope for chronic conditions. As chiropractors, one chronic condition we often see is arthritis. It is the most common cause of disability4, and 53 million Americans have been diagnosed with it.
Conventional medicine offers NSAIDs. We have already covered the dangers of that class of drags. Homeopathic medicine is unique because the FDA has classified it as a pharmaceutical drag, but it carries no negative side effects. A nontoxic, natural medicine—what a concept!
Homeopathic medicine has been used worldwide for more than 200 years with a stellar track record of safety. Herbal and nutritional supplements aie not classified as medicines and cannot make health claims. Homeopathic medicine can, though, based on thousands of provings (research studies) done on the roughly 1,300 substances listed in the HPUS,5 which is recognized by the FDA.
For example, here aie a few homeopathic remedies that help arthritic joint pain:
• Arnica montana - body aches
• Bellis perennis - muscular soreness
• Calcarea fluorica - backache
• Formicum acidum - stiff joints
• Hypericum perforatum - joint discomfort
• Salicylicum acidum - knee discomfort
The ingredients aie written hi Latin for accurate worldwide recognition since many plants have multiple species.
Conventional medicine’s wonder drags have led us away from nature. It’s time we came back to natural medicine that truly offers help.
Homeopathic medicine not only helps relieve pain, but it is also more curative and gets to the core causes behind the symptoms. It helps con ect health issues at deep levels, especially when used in multiple potencies at the higher LM potencies.
The medical industry ignored lifestyle for 100 years because it can’t be patented. In my 40 years of experience practicing natural health care, we always kept the focus on educating our patients. We taught our patients everything about how to take care of themselves, from healthy lifestyle to natural healing techniques.
In my book, The Healing Revolution, we share the most powerful tools that made the greatest difference in the lives of our patients and turned them from victims into victors over disease. And nearly all of these empowering tools aie free!
By applying a combination of education about right lifestyle, homeopathy, nutrition, and chiropractic, you will be equipped with the most powerful armamentarium to stop the chronic disease pandemic plaguing our world.
The practitioners who step up and address these health issues will be the most successful, sought-after doctors of the future.
Enjoy the journey.
