Modern Medicine and Natural Medicine Both Are Good

As some of you may know I work in a long term care facility, and I have seen our seniors come in and they are on so much medicines it is unreal. Granted they need some of it, but I wonder if they need it all. When they get an infection, they usually can not take antibiotics like we do, instead most of the time they get very strong antibiotics through an intravenous drip.

Why is this? Simply it is because they have grown a tolerance to everything less potent. I think that is so sad, that we have grown to use to modern medicine that we have to resort to that sort of thing. So what is the alternative? It's all natural herbs, which have been around since the days when this world first began turning.It is rare to reach the non-tolerant level to which natural meds will not work

Thomas Edison once said. "The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease."

Now if Thomas Edison believed this way back then, it was a big thing for people to seek out natural remedies to what ever ailed them back in the day. There were few doctors so people had to rely on word of mouth and home remedies to get themselves through the hard times.

That is the approach I take in regards to my migraines well in a way I do. I use feverfew which is an all natural supplement for any migraines that begin at home, but for those that rarely strike at work I have to use my combination of Tylenol, aspirin and caffeine. How ever no matter where I am I use natural things such as cold or heat to help it along. I also know what triggers my migraines so I limit my intake of those food items but I can't really control the environmental causes as much as I'd like too. I believe the herbs work better, my body tolerates them better but sometimes I need the readily availability of modern medicine.
