Your Body know

Book Summary by: alicemartins    

Original Author: Vernon Coleman
This abstract was translated from Seu Corpo Sabe
Vernon Coleman has written over 90 books, translated into 22 languages. Doctor is the author of Great Britain, world renowned
for animal rights and for its frankness in exposing the evils of modern medicine.
Since 1983, he has been collecting new evidence of the remarkable powers of the human body. There is evidence presented by scientists from around the world, showing that the power of body and mind is greater than one would dream of just a few years.
There is a blindness of the medical professionals in relation to the powers of the body. The body is perfectly capable of looking after itself. But few people take advantage of these mechanisms of self-healing and self protection capability.
Coleman calls the greatest tragedy of orthodox medicine the fact that doctors are suspicious of everything new and reluctant to accept the theories and ideas that contradict traditional acts.
The practice of traditional medicine is big business. Thousands of companies are interested in their disease. As there is so much commercial interest in health care, are commercial factors that influence the type and quality of treatment offered ...
Risks of conventional medicine, hospitals are a breeding ground for the spread of infectious organisms.
Today, there is evidence that if you are admitted to a hospital and contracted an infection, is likely to have contracted in the hospital. If an infected wound or a urinary tract infection, is almost certain that the contamination occurred in the hospital. There is evidence that even hospital coffee and canteens can be harmful. Patients may languish in the hospital for lack of adequate food and the risk of catching an infection due to food in the hospital is greater than in a restaurant!
Examinations and hospital treatment can also be dangerous. The risks are so great that doctors often use terms such as "idiopathic," cryptogenic, "iatrogenic" and "nosocomial" to hide the truth about the evolution of diseases.
Investigations potentially risky still being done even though the benefits are few or no. Few doctors who question whether a review is justified, if certain types of treatment are justified. If a patient has two sets of symptoms, it is likely that the second set was caused for the first.Quando to treat a patient does not receive medical care, he often live longer.
With the traditional treatment of internal defenses may be impaired. Be prescribing pills or using the scalpel, he is often fighting against the body''s own defenses. How to be powerful to fight effectively against the strong physiological reactions within the body, modern treatments cause significant side effects. Many times, there is an additional risk associated with this type of interventional therapy, the treatment can affect the body''s ability to deal with other threats.
Choose the best and discard the rest There is no doubt that a focus on "holistic" in health care is excellent for patients. When followed properly, means that each disease can be addressed through an "choice" and "mix" that is, selecting the aspects of conventional medicine and alternative medicine are more likely to be effective and cause fewer side effects, treating and observing carefully all aspects of the individual patient . In short, the word "holistic" was created to designate an attitude.
For many diseases, does not help address what is wrong with the body if not also address what is wrong with the mind. I find it incredible that a modern medical care of the body of a patient suffering from hypertension, intestinal disorders or asthma and ignore your mind when it is already more than proved that in the case of many diseases, the physical symptoms are produced by some kind of mental disorder. Likewise, it is strange and even non-scientific, an osteopath who treats the back of a patient ignoring his mind.
Unfortunately, most physicians learn little about alternative or complementary medicine. And many alternative therapists have never had an effective education about anatomy and physiology.
The result is that health care were divided into two areas: orthodox and unorthodox. Few professionals in any of these areas have learned enough about all aspects of medicine to be able to offer advice truly holistic, offering patients the best of all worlds. The advantages of a truly holistic approach are enormous, not only because holistic medicine offers the opportunity to enjoy the best and avoid the worst, but also because different types of treatment can, when used together, have an even greater effect.
The genuinely holistic approach can employ a modern medicine, a relaxation technique and a type of massage to treat a single set of symptoms. Practitioners of alternative medicine are not always the best choice you might think it would be better to use an alternative therapist. But many of these professionals are in your area, so arrogant and intellectually isolated as the doctors who were taught to prescribe pills.
Very acupuncturist, homeopath, herbalist and others claim that they offer their patients a holistic medicine when, in fact, do not offer anything like that. No matter how well trained it is, the alternative therapist who is dedicated to a single specialty is not holistic.
