This site is all about trying to offer an alternative viewpoint. Nobody that write an article for this site is medically qualified, but we all are very concerned about our own health and above all we all love to write about it. So, we’re not “qualified” to give you any advice. What you see in these pages is purely our opinion and what works for us.
Personally, I’m not a believer in pharmaceuticals. I think the pharmaceutical industry is over powerful and does not have our/your best interests at heart. These businesses operate to make money. New diseases seem to be popping up all the time and I have to ask myself whether these new diseases are part and parcel of our modern life or part and parcel of the marketing mechanism of the pharmaceutical companies.
I am a firm believer in exercise and diet. I think that if can be bothered to get up off my arse and give myself a workout every single day then I am going to avoid a lot of the conditions that plague our society. If I eat the right foods and drink plenty of water then I am going to avoid a lot of the conditions that plague our society. I know this is a simplistic view point but I think it is a way of preventing rather than curing.
I am also a firm believer in alternative therapies. When I got to see my family medical doctor, I’m lucky if I get 10 minutes of his time and I always leave his office feeling no better and like I have just been on a conveyor belt, rushed in and out to see someone who is more stressed than I am.
When I go to see my acupuncturist I get over an hour of her time and I feel like I have been pampered, listened to, and above all I leave feeling better than when I walked in.
So, this website is all looking for solutions to real problems before they begin. In the process of giving information to others, I am also educating myself. By trying to set out an informational guide and helping myself and my family to lead a healthier lifestyle.
