Alternative Therapies for Immune System Diseases

alternative therapiesThe problem with the massive and sudden downfall of society is that millions of Americans are going to be suddenly without their prescription medications and that’s going to leave those unfamiliar with alternative therapies in a world of hurt. For anyone who has been to the doctor lately, you know what we’re talking about. A handful of powerful prescriptions with sometimes yucky side effects is the standard medical response to any patient’s complaint.

Granted, modern drugs routinely alleviate symptoms of arthritis, heart ailments, diabetes, ear infections, toothaches, cancers, allergies, and more to an amazing degree. But what if they suddenly weren’t available? If you’re relying upon them completely for your health, you’re going to be in a world of hurt when they vanish.

For this reason, Holistic Survival thinks it’s a DARN good idea to familiarize yourself with alternative therapies, especially if you have a chronic health condition. While we could spend the rest of our lives arguing the relative merits of the various types of healing and still not arrive at a meeting of the minds, surely everyone could agree that a basically healthy immune system trumps a weak one any day. With such as diseases as arthritis, diabetes, and more being traced to a faulty immune system, why not take advantage of a couple thousand years of Eastern healing and research areas like aromatherapy, acupunture/acupressure, herbal formulas, etc?

Doesn’t mean you have to throw your half full bottle of Eradicade out the window immediately, but it’s a good idea to prepare yourself for the day when you drive up to your local pharmacy and they have nothing on the shelves. That is not the time to begin pondering alternative therapies.
