Natural Cures are being sought for more and more. So how do you know what works and what doesn’t?
I have devoted this site to researching what is reliable and what is not, and to refer you to the most dependable information on Natural Cures.
My experience is that there are many sites devoted to selling their own products under the guise of providing independent information. Please don’t take my word for it, just do a Google Search and see for yourself. You will be drawn in to a world of advertising and product pushing. OK, we all have to make a living I guess, but whilst I can’t stop this completely, I encourage you to check out the rest of this site and see where it leads. I hope you will find exactly what you want.
If you know where to go, you can really find what you want.
Let me share a friend’s experience.
She suffered some symptoms of Arthritis and sought out a source of natural cures on the web. She took about three weeks of solid research and found something she trusted and tried out the recommendations. She discovered that essential fatty acids like Omega 3, 6 and 9 can help ease arthritic problems. She bought some plain seed oil and added others - like flaxseed oil- then took a tablespoon every morning as part of her breakfast.
After eight weeks she was a new woman. The pains had gone.
Now, I’m not saying that everyone will achieve the same results no matter what their problem. But, try and tell her that! We can all improve our own lives.
One highly regarded expert on Alternative medicines is Professor Edzard Ernst. He looks at complementary medicine and alternative therapies to discover what is useful, what is bogus and what is downright dangerous.
He has highlighted many so called “cures” as baseless and possibly dangerous.
Two examples of bogus cancer treatments were shark cartilage and laetrile, sometimes called vitamin B17, a chemical made from almonds or stones in soft fruit.
The point is, do not be sucked in to the easy “miracle cures” do your research and learn from the experts.
Believe it or not, some studies have shown that people believe what they see on the computer screen more readily than what they may hear from an expert. It may be that in our desperation to find a natural cure we adopt a distorted view of what is reliable.
Doctors at University College London reported that people suffering from a chronic condition such as diabetes who used the net to find out more were often in a worse condition than if they had listened to their doctor.
It seems an overload of information can give a false sense of security.
I repeat, don’t be fooled into thinking the internet can help you diagnose yourself or worse, treat yourself.
I have found the following to be sites you can trust:
