Is North America Waking Up?

For centuries we have relied on Mother Earth to supply us the remedy for any physical condition that was presented. It's only been in the last 60-70 years that North American medicine along with pharmaceutical companies have persuaded us that something that's produced in a chemical lab is superior to anything the earth would provide naturally. We've seem to have "bought in" to the idea that there is a "magic pill" for anything that ails you.

Now we expect it. If we go to a doctor we always want them to prescribe "the pill". The amount of prescription drugs that are consumed globally is astronomical. Is taking these medicines the way to good health?

I believe that we are now examining that question as proven by the growth of the herbal remedy, natural treatment and alternative healing industries. I think that deep down we all know that there is another way to heal ourselves other than the poisoning, radiating, treating symptoms; the methods that are are used by modern medicine today. We are searching for alternatives and what better place to look than nature.

Aboriginal cultures believe that the earth will supply a remedy for any physical ailment. Others, like the Chinese have and still do share the same belief. North America right now is waking up or shall I say returning to the fact that this is the true secret to health. Using nature to help us through the times of dis-ease, giving the body an opportunity to heal itself. Natural and herbal remedies may be the "old way" to some but I believe that the reason they have been used for centuries is that they are the real aids to balance health.
