A Natural Healthcare Clinic<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n HOW IS ORIENTAL MEDICINE DIFFERENT FROM WESTERN MEDICINE?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n <\/strong>In the United States the main form of medicine is known as Western or Allopathic medicine. Western medicine is based on the belief that disease is a defect within the human body or a destructive process caused by a specific germ or pathogen.<\/p>\n In Oriental medicine the focus is on prevention and the balancing of the life force energy that flows through the body in specific meridians or channels. The belief is if there is harmony and balance, there will be good health.<\/p>\n Exploring the benefits of Eastern and Western medicine will help in understanding the strengths and weakness of each modality. Knowing when to use each modality, and when to combine both to achieve the greatest benefit.<\/p>\n EASTERN AND WESTERN MEDICINE HAVE VERY DIFFERENT\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>APPROACHES TO WELLNESS.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Eastern medicine<\/span><\/strong> is over 5,000 years old. It is the oldest, literate, continually practiced medicine in the world.<\/p>\n Western medicine<\/strong><\/span><\/span> as we know it has been developing over the last 200 years. It uses state-of-the-art technology for diagnosing disorders, pharmaceutical drugs and surgery.<\/p>\n Eastern medicine<\/span><\/span><\/strong> is focused on natural health-care, \u201cPrevention\u201d<\/strong>, wellness, balance and harmony.<\/p>\n Western<\/span>_<\/span>medicine<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span> is focused on <\/span>\u201cIntervention\u201d<\/strong> and utilizes specialists to reduce or eliminate symptoms.<\/span><\/p>\n Eastern_medicine<\/strong><\/span><\/span> uses the \u201cEmpirical\u201d<\/strong> approach which means; we may not understand why it works,<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n but the fact that it does work is more important than the explanation why.<\/p>\n Western medicine<\/strong><\/span> uses the “Rational”<\/strong> approach which views the universe as a constant and opposes anything it cannot understand by logic or deduction.<\/p>\n Eastern medicine<\/span><\/span><\/strong>\u00a0 uses \u201csimilars\u201d<\/strong> to\u00a0 gently stimulate a healing response to bring the body back into balance. The healing protocol is based on promoting health, rather than fighting disease.<\/p>\n Western_medicine<\/span><\/span><\/strong>\u00a0uses \u201copposites\u201d<\/strong> \u00a0it\u00a0 focuses on fighting disease (\u201callo\u201d means opposite from which the term allopathic medicine is derived). The healing protocol is based on fighting disease, rather than to promote health.<\/p>\n Eastern_medicine\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span>follows the \u201cInternal \u00a0 \u00a0 Environment Theory.\u201d<\/strong> which follows the principal that if our billions of cells each receives the nutrition and oxygen it needs and has its waste products removed, it will be healthy, therefore; TOTAL HEALTH CAN ONLY BE ACHIEVED BY FIRST ATTENDING TO INNER HEALTH.<\/p>\n Western_medicine<\/strong><\/span><\/span>\u00a0follows the \u201cGerm Theory\u201d<\/strong> which follows the principal that specific microbes (germs) produce a specific disease. In an attempt to destroy these germs it uses antibiotics, vaccines and medicines. The idea is, if there are no germs present there will be no disease.<\/p>\n Eastern_medicine<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>uses acupuncture, \u00a0manipulative therapy, food cures and herbology to move the natural life-force energy through \u201cmeridians\u201d or \u201cchannels\u201d to promote health and resolve the underlying dysfunction.<\/span><\/p>\n Western_medicine<\/span><\/span><\/strong> uses surgery, pharmaceuticals and chemicals to treat the symptoms of disease.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n ________________________________________\u00b7\u2022\u00b7________________________________________<\/p>\n \u00a0Do not wait until you are ill to seek health:<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n become proactive and take the steps necessary to maintain your health.<\/strong><\/p>\n If you are 40 or older you should be on a health regime that you understand and makes sense to you<\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n WHEN SHOULD I CONSIDER USING WESTERN MEDICINE?<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n David Darbo, M.D. explains it this way:<\/strong> \u201cTHE PROBLEM IS NOT HOW THE MEDICAL SYSTEM OPERATES IN ITS OWN CONTEXT<\/em><\/strong> YOU HAVE A CHOICE \u2013 YOU CAN \u00a0CHOOSE HEALTH, OR DISEASE,<\/span><\/em><\/strong> <\/em><\/strong> approach to cancer is surgery, chemotherapy and\/or radiation, all of which focus on eliminating the cancer, but in the process weakens your immune system.<\/p>\n Everyone has cancer cells, the difference between an active cancer and an inactive cancer is the state of the immune system. In Oriental medicine we know that by maintaining a strong immune system we can prevent and\/or facilitate a healing process.<\/p>\n Because Eastern and Western medicine are so different<\/p>\n WHEN SOMEONE TELLS YOU YOUR CONDITION IS INCURABLE<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n such as in the case of Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue, Lupus, Arthritis, Cancer, HIV\/AIDs, etc., what they are really saying is simply that they have reached the limits of their knowledge on that particular illness.<\/p>\n NEVER GIVE UP, STAY OPTIMISTIC, BE PROACTIVE<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n and understand the CONSIDER YOURSELF IN GOOD HEALTH?<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n According to the American Cancer Society;<\/span> Do you know that 70% or more of all cancers are produced as the result of dietary, nutritional or lifestyle factors?

\n \u201cI am NOT in any way criticizing the noble men and women who dedicate their lives to saving the lives of others. The hospitals in the U.S. are first-rate, equipped with state-of-the-art equipment and staffed with skilled technicians, nurses and physicians. In a medical emergency, there is nowhere on earth I\u2019d rather be. It is necessary to act dramatically in crisis situations and the medical profession is to be applauded for its skill in dealing with catastrophic illness. My hat is off to the established medical order within the context of crisis care.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n BUT HOW IT FAILS TO MAINTAIN HEALTH.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
\n YOU CAN CHOOSE PREVENTION OR INTERVENTION.<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
\n Prevention is unquestionably the highest form of medicine.<\/span><\/strong>

\n\u201cThe superior doctor cures that which is not yet an illness. * * * The average doctor cures only when an illness is present.\u201d<\/strong><\/span>
\nDr. Nakayama, a Japanese practitioner wrote:<\/span>
\n\u201cIt is not the microbe that is important, but the internal terrain. The illness is not the invasion itself but the weakness that attracts the invasion.\u201d<\/span><\/strong>
\nIf you smoke and don\u2019t think you can quit, at least take steps to protect your body from the damage being done. If you have been treated for cancer, don\u2019t simply wait for your next check-up to see if the cancer has returned. Become proactive, cleanse your body and strengthen your immune system.

\n\u201cThe probability that an individual, in the course of their lifetime, will develop cancer or die from it, is one out of every two men (50%), and one out of every three women (33%)\u201d.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
\nWith every five-year increase of age there is a doubling in the incidence of cancer because of the time you have been exposed to risk factors. As we age the gastrointestinal track is less efficient<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n Osteoporosis rates have quadrupled in only two generations. By your 20s and 30s you achieve peak bone mass. Women in their mid-thirties begin losing 1 to 2% of calcium per year. By age 40 your ability to replace lost calcium declines. Postmenopausal women lose 4 to 5% of calcium per year.<\/span>The United State has one of the highest intakes of calcium, but suffers one of the highest rates of osteoporosis. Excess calcium may contribute to kidney stones, arthritis, atherosclerosis and iron deficiency. Do you know that milk may actually cause, or contribute to osteoporosis? And, pharmaceutical medications may make your bones more brittle? \u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\n This disorder is more common in men than women. It most often affects persons over sixty years of age, although it can occur in younger people as well. The incidence of Parkinson\u2019s disease is rising.<\/span>In the mid-1970\u2019s, one person in 1,000 was diagnosed with Parkinson\u2019s disease.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/em>By the mid-1980\u2019s one person in 200 people,<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/em>And today, the estimate is one person in every 100 over the age of sixty is affected.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/div>\n
