An odd title for a prepper medical tip . But a real one. We humans tend to pick one item from all others and use it for everything. Let's use Purple Oregano or PO for short.
By Gum I LOVE PO. Did you know it will cure EVERYTHING from Acne to Halitosis to Zombie Germ infections. In fact you know it cleared up the bad infection that my wife had on her best friends 2nd cousins next door neighbors dog? And we take 3 tablespoons of it whenever we feel the tickle of a cold.
That is human nature. We find something that works well for us for one thing and then try it on something else and it helps somewhat with that then we are caught. Hook Line and Sinker. It is no different than a gun owner. Or pickup truck owner. An owner that was let down by a bad feed ramp in a 1911 or a Chevy with a bad coil pack. Said person picks up a new Glock or a Ford and then the world is green the sky is blue and everything is hunky dory.
This happens in alternative medicine. Someone finds the miracle herb. The one that cures Cancer Acne Impotence and bad breath. This little item shows that the mind has a lot to do with healing as does medicine.
But this is dangerous also. By ignoring the huge pharmacopeia that we have at our disposal can put people at risk for NOT treating properly a illness that caught early Say Strep Throat and allows it to evolve into Scarlet Fever. I see it all the time at work. People see a thing on TV. They buy said magic herb and self treat themselves without consulting a health care pro or herbal medicine professional, and end up in my lab.
And die.
Yes they die.
They die because they found the miracle herb that will cure everything from Cancer Acne Impotence and bad breath.
But not heart disease.
A PROFESSIONAL medical person. Be they western, eastern or alternative. Will NEVER tell a patient that this drug herb, root or oil WILL cure ANYTHING. It MAY help. We know enough of the science behind the herbs, medicines and oils when prescribed that they will help with a lot of different illnesses. And used correctly and to the letter of the instructions we write will help to cure a lot of common maladies.
This is a battle that alternative practitioners have fought for hundreds of years. The Charlatan. The MLM that is only interested in gross and net profits not the well being of their patients.
This tip of the week is not so much a tip as it is a plea to our readers of this letter to not follow the will of the Interwebs. To do their own research and not to be afraid to ask the advice of a healthcare professional. We may not always agree on specific treatment. But we, the professionals, will always put YOU the patient first over anything else and do the best we can for you.
