Naturopathic Doctor's Role in Our Community

What is naturopathic medicine and how important is the role of naturopathic doctors to our community nowadays?

Alternative medicine is not a new thing to us. Old folks use natural remedies to treat their patients by the time synthetic drugs are still unknown to existence. By the time synthetic drugs has been popular, there are still doctors who prefer to treat their patients using natural medicines and not resorting to artificial substances to treat the human body. Because of the harmful effects of taking synthetic drugs, lots of people nowadays resort to alternative medicine. Thanks to  alternative medicine schools that produce highly qualified professionals that caters patients needs.

People are in need  of naturopathic doctor’s service nowadays, doctors who has an aim of changing people’s lives to save them and use natural medicines to treat their patients. Naturopathic medicine is a branch of alternative medicine that is becoming more popular these days because naturopathic doctors do not focus on the effects of medicine as treatment, they look for the main source of the disease rather than treating it.

As for me and my family, going to a naturopathic doctor is the best thing to do rather than be treated with synthetic medications. Naturopathic doctors focus more on preventive medicine and nutrition.  They check the patients unhealthful habits because unhealthful habits have great contribution to health problems. They also encourage their patients to live a healthy lifestyle. Naturopathic doctors also emphasize good nutrition to their patients because natural foods has curative power. I myself have been a patient of a naturopathic doctor. I am thankful  and proud that because of him I learn to live with healthy lifestyle.

To the future naturopathic doctors, people need your best services, the first and most important step you can  do to give your excellent service to the people is to be trained by the best naturopathic college.

Water As An Alternative Medicine

water as an alternative medicine

Water as an alternative medicine is not new to us. It has been practiced by old folks before the time synthetic medicines have been discovered.

I have posted some articles here about water:

Water, how important is it to you?

Water, The Lubricant of Your Functionality

Water for Skin Rejuvenation and Beauty

A Daily Water Intake Reminder

Why am I doing this? Because I believe that being properly hydrated is one of the easiest and least expensive ways to stay healthy.

Did you know that water can even cure some health problems? People called it water therapy. As far as I know, there is no scientific evidence about it yet but, I firmly believe that water can help cure certain health problems because our body consists of more than 60 percent of water. And, water therapy is not new to me because since I was a kid, my family’s usual practice  is  to do water therapy first instead of instantly taking in some synthetic drugs as treatment for constipation, hyperacidity, cough, colds, headache and some kidney problems. Usually, those problems can be cured by adding few extra glasses of water from your usual daily intake.

Lately, I learned from a friend that aside from the common health problems I have mentioned earlier, water therapy lowers blood sugar level, blood pressure, and uric acid level. It helps a lot too in people suffering from acne problem; migraine; allergies; sinusitis; arthritis; rheumatism; some respiratory problems; obesity; anemia; leukemia; and certain CANCERS (please ask your physician if it is okay for you to drink plenty of water). Is it not amazing?

Lots of people have tried and found it helpful. Are you interested to give it a try? Here are the 3 simple steps:
1. As preparation, see to it that you have not taken any alcoholic drinks before retiring to bed.
2. Early in the morning, upon waking up, gargle to clean your mouth from accumulated bacteria while you were sleeping then, drink 1.5 liters of water. If you are not used to drink such plenty of water in one setting, just start with 2-3 glasses of water then gradually increase it until you are able to drink 1.5 liters upon waking up.
3. You may proceed to your usual schedule afterwards but NOTHING BY MOUTH (no food or drinks should be taken) should be implemented for 1-2 hours after drinking the 1.5 liters of water.

Note: It is not necessary that you should do it upon waking up, what is important here is you start and end up your water therapy session with an EMPTY stomach. You may start this therapy at least 2 hours after taking your breakfast or lunch.

Please remember that the 1.5 liters of water you will consume is for therapy or cleansing purposes and not part of your daily water intake which is 8 glasses a day. You may train your child as young as 3 years old to drink 2-3 glasses of water upon waking up and take 6 glasses of water everyday.
