How to heal yourself naturally - I heard a vulgar story about what happened when all the parts of the body argued about which was most important. The truth is that every part affects every other part.
Hippocrates, the father of medicine, pointed out that to heal you should consider all of the body, the weather, nutrition, emotions. Of course, other forms of medicine existed long before Hippocrates and they knew what he taught.
The Ignoble Start of FDA
In the late 18 hundreds the conventional doctors or allopaths (meaning they use poisons that oppose the disease from the Greek allos meaning other and path meaning sickness) were failing miserably to treat diseases that homeopathy (using weakened poisons with the same symptoms as the disease, from Greek word homeo meaning same) treated successfully.
The allopaths got together to work out a way to combat the opposition and they came up with the idea of the FDA. Ever since then the FDA has had a stranglehold on healing, suppressing every successful form of competition as far as they can.
There have been so many scandals about corruption in the FDA that hopefully it will lose its stranglehold on ways to heal soon. You can heal your life but it will take some courage to heal yourself while your doctor is trying to browbeat you into buying prescription drugs.

Allopathy Concentrates On Just One Thing
Allopaths encouraged the idea since the late eighteen hundreds that you had to concentrate on one thing at a time. For instance if you get a headache they give you a pain killer instead of looking for the cause of the headache.
It reminds me of an incident in a dynamite factory in Scotland. The foreman was called away suddenly so he hurriedly told the apprentice not to let the thermometer get into the red. When he returned, the apprentice was frantically pouring cold water over the thermometer to keep it out of the red. The entire batch of dynamite had to be tipped outside so as to restrict the effects of an explosion.
Allopaths are doing the same thing when they give you a prescription for high blood pressure. They don't ask why your blood pressure has gone into the red, they just give you poisons that will lower it.
Holistic Medicine - The Whole Picture
My first experience of holistic medicine was when my Father used homeopathy to heal me. He considered everything about me - not just my body, but what forms my naughtiness took, what I liked to eat and so on.
It's so much more profitable to take the easy way out and heal with allopathy, but it's so much better to learn how to heal yourself as you consider the whole picture. A good example is wound healing, covered by the next page.
