Important Health Update

Copyright 2005 Wayne Mc

Staying healthy does NOT start when you get sick, when you

refill your prescriptions, when you are scheduled for

surgery or when your doctor says you have six months to

live. Your health is an important long-term investment and

it is wise to have the resources to stay educated and

healthy.

Although I do not know you personally, I really do care

quite deeply about your health and well being. Why?

Because I know there are answers and a lot of resources at

your disposal. I have been in the alternative therapy

industry for over 15 years and I work with hundreds of

experienced health practitioners. I have spoken to people

that have overcome mild health challenges to life

threatening health challenges. Unfortunately, most people

turn to alternative therapies, or complementary medicine,

after everything else fails.

I am not a medical doctor, but I do provide the resources

so visitors to my health site can find answers to many

health questions. Sometimes I receive an email and I am

just stumped on how to respond because the answer is so

blatantly obvious. For example, a woman inquired about a

liquid dietary supplement and how fast she would feel

healthy again. She explained that she was diabetic and in

an average day smoked four packs of cigarettes, drank a

couple of beers and ate a half-pound of bacon.

The best advice is moderation. To say that there is " one "

healthy path would be a lie. I tell my clients to become

" body aware " and listen to what it needs (or when it

hurts). Most people have one or more of the following body

complaints, but ignore the symptoms. Months or years later,

people go to their doctors for pain pills or other

treatments for the symptoms – I will repeat TREATMENT OF

SYMPTOMS. To get results you must treat the cause, not the

symptoms. The most common body complaints are lower back

pain, knee or hip problems, headaches, stress and pain in

the jaw, shooting pain down arms or legs, and the list goes

on.

If you experience any of these symptoms, I would recommend

that you log-in to the Internet and find a qualified health

practitioner. Read articles, get educated, ask questions

and try an acupuncturists, a massage therapists, a

chiropractor, a Reiki master, a medical intuitive, etc.

Although prescriptions can serve a purpose over a short

time, long time use may cause other health challenges. It

is important to be aware of the small health challenges as

well as the big health challenges. Some of your body aches,

or symptoms, may appear mild but that is usually because

you have tolerated it or ignored it for so long. Body aches

can set-in and become a health challenge like arthritis.

Your body is very smart at adapting and counterbalancing

itself. When your body (or muscle) tenses, it then counter

balances itself by tensing or relaxing another muscle.

Overtime your body can become unbalanced and twisted.

I would recommend working with a health practitioner on a

ongoing basis. Start with a few weekly sessions and

progress to a monthly schedule. Several sessions in a row

will help speed up your recovery.

Working with different alternative therapists overtime will

assist you in becoming more educated and familiar with the

many health benefits of complementary therapies. You'll

discover new ways to treat old health challenges and you

will have made a wise investment into your long-term health.
