"The drug companies are setting the curriculum in the pharmacology courses of universities around the world. They are setting the standards for wellness with the Doctors as their testing systems. Today, we are finding that we need more and more of these expensive (need to have health insurance to afford them) pharmaceuticals‿ Your cholesterol is a few points too high† you need an anti-cholesterol drug† foreve⁲&.The same with blood pressure testing and medications? iam not even going to mention Headaches here as the medical community in total has NO CURE, but PLENTY of medication(that addicts you, causes rebound headaches on the second repeat of the prescriptionetc,etc) and rarely mentions physical therapies as treatment for headaches. What really gets me is ALL of us rarely question anything they say? They have SOOOO much power - even though i have completed the same sciences as a medical Doctor - i still have no real power in what i say as a therapist - i do not prescribe - i am not a \""real\"" Doctor? I treat people with my own two hands and succeed with 90% of them and have been doing that since 1981 but rarely get taken as an authority on pain management or wellbeing?
Hopefully, you have a doctor that is experienced and can read what the test results really mean – he knows your blood pressure will vary at different periods during your life and does NOT put you on lifetime medications at first consultation. He will have you change your eating and exercising habits, before prescribing these very potent medications.
Do you want to give the bulk of your retirement monies to Doctors and their Drug company managers?
Now more than ever there is proven scientific knowledge and standards of education in the Physical Therapies, so much so, most western countries will give you medical insurance cover for physical therapies including Osteopathy, Chiropractic, Acupuncture and Naturopathy.
Herbal remedies have been tested more and more and refined into potent, safe medicines.
The time to understand some important facts about self help and health management – WELLNESS, is NOW. The human body is FAR more adaptive and self healing than you would imagine and it WILL respond to physical therapy, much longer into life than people generally imagine, or are told by their Doctors. Push your body physically with exercise and physical training (in the right way) and it will respond – Put the correct things in(food) and the effort is almost always rewarded, even in illness where there will not be recovery – the effort of eating well and some form of exercise to get the blood going – will always make the person at least feel a little better – if not actually BE a little better!
We have all been around a lot longer than modern pharmacology and yes they have given us some amazing \""magic bullets\"" to heal ourselves with - but its like too much of a good thing - you become dependent and actually sickened by it!?! Remember that you are actually a part of nature and respond well to partaking of it.SOS Headache filtered.sosheadache.com"
