For the past 30 years I have not used any pharmaceutical medications (including Aspirin, Tylenol or birth control pills) with the exception of Tetanus shots and the medications my dentist used and on 3 occasions, where I found no alternative. I have gone to Medical Doctors for checkups, tests and diagnosis. For help with most health problems I use home remedies, manual therapies (I often use massage and bodywork techniques on myself), hydrotherapy (=water therapies), eat specific foods, do Self-Healing exercises, dance, practice yoga and/or Qigong, use journal writing, creative arts and/or nature, or go to Naturopathic Doctors, Chiropractors, Acupuncturists and/or Massage Therapists or Counselors. In my experiences as a Licensed Massage Therapist I’ve also grown to appreciate how surgeons can help people with certain health problems through stories related to me by some clients..
If you are taking pharmaceutical medications, please take into consideration that your body may react differently to various therapies, than those of people not taking medications.
If you want to quit taking some or all of your medications, please be careful, as some medications should not be stopped abruptly, and with some medications it may even be life-threatening to stop them (if you have Diabetes, for example)
If you have a story to share, how you have healed through natural therapies, please tell it by adding a comment!
