Traditionally, medicine has been seen as an aid to fighting the bugs and repairing the bones of our day to day lifestyle. But today the focus has changed. Today lifestyle choices are affecting our health, alarmingly changing our lifetime expectation.
With our modern day obsession for acquiring bigger houses , hotter autos, more exotic vacations we are giving up quality for quantity and what suffers the most is our own health. Our lifestyles is literally sapping our own natural resources and we are not replenishing these depleted reserves. Any form of natural immune system boosters is being ignored. The frightening consequence is, our health status is critically shortened.
Increasingly the same conditions are sapping away at our health; obesity, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, respiratory problems and cancer. They are all on the increase. We seem to have blind faith that medical science will ‘cure all’..
Unquestionably medicine has made huge strides in helping us regain our health but unfortunately this success is almost counter productive. Today we seem to want to pass over the responsibility of our health to anyone but ourselves. “Let science sort it out”.
We are not taking responsibility for our own actions. Perhaps it’s this attitude has given way to an extraordinary level of confidence by patients in the antibiotic treatments , and putting doctors are under ever increasing pressures to conjure up instant results.
Although the results are not as instantaneous as conventional medication the use of an herbal antibiotic should not be ignored. The advantages of this type of treatment is that they are designed to treat the ailment whilst at the same timeboosting the body’s immune system. Typically we can look at a tiredness remedy that also provides immune system boosters.
Herbs as a medicinal source are too easy to pass off in the critical food chain to support and strengthen the immune system. Yes, in the main their reputation is anecdotal obtained after years of use by our forefathers. But their continued use has shown herbs are capable of feeding the immune system as well as combating many of the ailments to which we are susceptible.
