Why Some People Are Hostile To Natural Medicine
My Top-Ten List of Why Some People are Hostile to Natural MedicineLazinessIn this quick-fix, instant-gratification society some people are too lazy and too spoiled to do the actual work required to be https://josueixud020.theburnward.com/effective-alternatives-for-antibiotics-in-the-treatment-of-strep-throat healthy. Its so much easier and so tempting to simply pop some pills hoping that that will somehow deliver health.Drug AddictionBetween Coffee, Chocolate, Green Tea, Black Tea, Cola Drinks, Yerba Mate, Cigarettes and Alcohol, some people dont go a day without some sort of stimulant drug or alcohol. For the people already addicted to these legal drugs embracing prescription or over-the-counter drugs is the natural choice.RacismHerbal Medicine and most of the holistic health modalities whether it is yoga, acupuncture, tai-chi, qi-gong, meditation, etc. were developed by the non-White, Non-European peoples of this world. Some people hostile to natural medicine are simply hiding a racist attitude that if something isnt validated by a white man in a white labcoat then somehow its isnt valid. I would much rather trust in the integrity of a Akan, Ibo, Mayan, Aborigine, Cree or Tibetian Bush Doctor/Traditional Healer than I would any scientist or drug company. Ironically the same scientists and drug companies that discredit the knowledge of the indigenous peoples of the world are the same ones dispatching ethnobotanists to every remote corner of the world to learn the secrets of Bush Doctors so they can patent them.Sheep-ismSome people are sheep and usually will only follow and seldom lead. They are not independent thinkers, and havent spent the time and energy needed to challenge the information being spoon-fed to them by the corporate media and the scientific community. This society is very affluent and if you dont ask too many questions or make any trouble there are vast rewards available to you. Unfortunately holistic health isnt one of them. For holistic health you need to listen to you body instead of authority figures. You need to connect to nature and to some sort of spiritual core. You need to be the leader of your own life.Snake-Oil SalesmenAs written in my article The Natural Health Products Hustle, there are too many snake oil salesmen in the natural health products market making false claims and dubious products. For anyone with a natural tendency to be skeptical of natural healing this provides all the excuse they need to be hostile.GodlessnessSome people just dont believe. Some people dont believe in respecting nature, in respecting their bodies, in experiencing the connectedness between all things. For unbelievers such as these they will have a challenging time suspending their negativity and disbelief towards holistic healing and thus may never benefit from it fully.The Anti-Christ FactorSome people do believe. What they choose to believe in are the Gods of Science and Industry. They believe in the rape and pillaging of the environment, in factory farming, in genetically modifying food, in pesticides and chemical fertilizers. Their belief system compels them to see all things natural as heresy.Stubbornness
