How Do You Feel About The Natural Health Industry?
Dec 8th, 2006 by Raylen
I see a lot of people in the natural health industry saying the medical establishment is corrupt, and drug companies only care about money. I’m sure there’s some truth to it, but I don’t think it’s as bad as some people make it out to be.
I’m obviously a supporter of natural alternatives and have experienced the benefits first hand - that being said, some of the claims I see people making worry me.
I’m not going to say any names because these guys are notorious for suing people, but I cringe every time I see someone selling a natural cure for cancer or some other serious disease. It’s one thing to lead a healthy lifestyle to prevent serious diseases, but to say you can cure cancer with a vitamin or some other natural remedy I think is irresponsible.
That doesn’t mean natural alternatives don’t have a place in treating serious disease because they do. I seen a news story a few weeks ago about cancer patients receiving a high dose of vitamin c as part of their treatment, and it helped.
For preventing disease, and treating less serious ailments like fatigue, headaches, aches & pains, and for things like weight loss, clearing your skin, ect. I think natural health is the way to go. For anything life threatening I would see a doctor, and use natural treatments in addition to whatever my doctor prescribed.
Another thing you have to keep in mind is a lot of these natural health gurus are only in it for the money. Don’t get me wrong I don’t have a problem with people making money from natural health, but a lot of their claims (like a natural cure for cancer) are taking advantage of people who are in a vulnerable position and I think that’s wrong.
How do you feel about the current state of the natural health industry?
Well, all I have to say is that when I changed my diet, took a handful of vitamins and minerals and took a prescription medication for hypothyroidism, I felt tired almost all the time and was certainly starting to look my age(more wrinkles,dull looking skin, etc.)
Then 16 months ago I discovered an all natural product that you drink 1-2 oz./day. In these past 16 months my health dramatically changed for the better. For 14 months now I have not had to take my thyroid medication, my skin looks so much healthier, I feel so much healthier, my ph level in my body is normal(used to be very acidic,a breeding ground for cancer), my allergies are gone, no more hot flashes & night sweats, a circulation problem in my fingers cleared itself up. All of these health benefits were experienced within the first 5 months of drinking this health product. Overall I am so blessed by trying and staying with this product.
I have continued to eat healthy (an occasional treat does enter into the picture). Just want to let you know that all alternative health products are not fake, there are some that really “does a body good”. I have found it in the product I’ve been drinking and realize that it took me 5 years, trying this, trying that, to finally find something that works.

P.S. I did do the Master Cleanse about 4 months ago and drank the preparation for 17 days. During the time of the Master Cleanse I continued to drink my natural health product each day for added health benefits.
Actually I would like to put a question on here myself but do not know where to go to do it. Raylen sent me to this page to do so, but I do not see anything on here to do that. That is why I am writing this here. Anyone — HELP!
Thank you,
