Holistic VS Allopathic.

I choose Holistic everytime.

Most of you reading this will be like WTF is that? Well...

I will explain some of it, but first PLEASE go to this link, it will explain a lot. ESPECIALLY the chart at the bottom. http://www.holistic.com/holistic/learning.nsf/ed8732a8bed2f2a4872569060015ca74/6d6ad242c4e75c9c87256b8f00021919!OpenDocument

So as you hopefully just read, holistic health is a lot of natural healing and not using drugs, and pills to get better. Its a lot more spiritual in a sense, and less scientific.

I am very pro-holistic health. I never really knew what the word for it was until recently.

Anyways, I am pro-holistic because I believe that what there was originally on earth is all we need. We don't NEED laptops or pills. If we just had our resources we'd be fine. If we were happier and more calm and ate healthier and ran everywhere instead of driving, we wouldn't even have the holistic vs allopathic fight.

Frequently in my philosophy I reflect back upon the earth, before huge society's were formed, and my idea of what it was like then. That is what I wish for now. I wish that buildings and iPads were never invented. But of course, it is really cool and "helpful". But if we were still farming and gathering our own food then we'd be getting more excersize and healthier foods, and most things we take pills for, we wouldn't have to worry about.

There was a point in history when things were better, in my mind. Personally, my favourite point in history was sort of in between the hunting-gathering stage and the stage in which hominids discovered they could dig up a plant and move it, and use seeds to grow more, and to basically farm by containing animals. Its basically when humans first discovered how to harness nature so they didn't have to "hunt and gather". I would say right in there was where it was at, because at that point humans were eating a lot more healthier and it was slightly easier to have some resources gathered, but still with the daily struggle of harvesting or milking cows or hunting.

I find history really fascinating, and as I previously said, I put it into my philosophy a LOT.

So basically my point is, next time you have back pain, consider yoga, a massage or meditation before you pop a pill. Over time if you keep doing something like yoga the pain will go away. Its just something you have to PERSONALLY WORK AT. Taking a pill may give you a quick fix, but eventually your immune system may start building up an immunity to those pills and they won't even work. Unlike yoga, you don't "build up an immunity" you just get more flexible, more strong and healthier.

Although, I will say for things such as CANCER, GIVING BIRTH, GETTING A KIDNEY STONE REMOVEd, OF COURSE USE MEDICINE! That is better for that. Although, when you have something like cancer, of course you should take treatment if you wish, but also if you just do some meditation and stress-relieving activities, it will help a LOT psychologically throughout the entire process. If you are psychologically well then you have more of a reason to live, WHICH I believe if you use your psyche enough that it will eventually help you biologically.

And people who know me well, know that I am "afraid" of medication. Its really not a HUGE fear of any kind... but I just really hate it. When I give birth I will probably get drugged up (once I get pregnant that is). The form of medication I take is acetaminophen (tylenol, or advil) AND THE ONLY TIME I TAKE IT is when I have REALLY BAD period cramps. Which I honestly cannot do much about holistically besides massage and stretching which doesn't work for a long period of time. Sometimes I use heat patches (because I get cramps in my lower back) I haven't taken acetaminophen in probably at least 4 months though. I probably only do a few times a year.

So yeah, that is my opinion. Take it or leave it :)
