Confronted with a first exposure to alternative or new age medicine, many of us react with mistrust. Will these things really work? Are these heterodox medicines safe and useful? Isn't all that bollocks and charlatanerie? Honouring truth, we have to say that we have seen a lot of that while evaluating some websites; indeed, there are charlatans and tricksters all around; however, not everything labelled as medically alternative works only in your imagination. But first we have to make a clear distinction between what works in the realm of psychology, from what really has some sort of physiological effect.
In the case of alternative medicines, there are many placebos that seem to work, but only in the patient's mind; then, the problem is the mind of the patient that causes an illness or health problem. But if a given alternative product has some sort of physiological effect, it can actually work better than many synthetic products produced by pharmaceutical companies.
And even many serious and reputed professionals are now prescribing natural treatments and alternatives for their patients, either because those are generally easier on pockets or because they are plain and flatly better than what has been produced industrially in a laboratory. It is a fact that many active principles found on synthetic drugs were firstly obtained from nature, and nature is still there with its animals, plants, minerals, fungi and the rest of the universe, so the same active principles can in many cases still be found, in a pure state.
In our modern Western society we have become prisoners of a lifestyle based on credit and debt, which enslaves people, luring everyone with more comfort, and then taking them hostages with endless bills. Regarding medical treatments, we have to pay and wait more for the same that we got in the past.
Medicines are becoming increasingly ineffective because germs become resistant to those drugs, so we use them in ever increasingly stronger doses; as most doctors will tell you, that amounts to chronic intoxication. In other words, we are immersed in a vicious circle of slow poisoning of our bodies with unpredictable consequences.
We believe that the public should pay more attention to these ideas and make a return to nature in the realms of medicine, diet and other components of the lifestyle that every person has chosen. Our technological and scientific progress is undeniable; however, let's keep in mind that more is not necessarily better and perhaps it is time to find a new balance between the natural world and the technical reality that we have been constructing since the end of the Palaeolithic.
As we said, not necessarily all new age, shaman or alternative medicines really work, but indeed and in the same light, we should not flatly reject them altogether on the basis of the same prejudices that helped us built the dangerous and contaminated world that we suffer today.
