Your Money or Your Health?
Let’sbe honest, the choice is not clear-cut or simple. If you have less cash you
will survive if you cut back on the latest gadgets, don’t change your car every
two years, and reduce the number of foreign holidays you take.
However,
when it’s your health at stake, cutting back, changing and reducing will have
significant effects for better or worse depending on what it is that you are
cutting, changing and reducing.
Without
health the rest of your life will be worse, and maybe a lot worse. Aiming for
the best of health lays the foundation for a fruitful and profitable life.
There are exceptions to every rule and it is not always
possible to achieve consistently positive outcomes. You must be realistic. But,
research confirms that small changes to your current lifestyle can cause
significant improvement to your health.

Prevention or Cure?
Not much choice here, either. Some experts espouse the
prevention route, others the curative pathway. It doesn’t need to be like that.
Picking one in favour of the other doesn’t cover all the bases.
There’s a lot to be said for prevention. You’ll be in
better health for longer. Your doctor will forget what you look like. You’ll be
able to do the things you want to more often.
Think about it for a moment –
·
Proper balanced diet with judicious top up supplements,
and no processed food.
·
Regular exercise at least three times a week.
·
Stress control using relaxation techniques and so on.
·
Restorative sleep up to eight hours a night.
·
Avoiding toxins and limiting negative external
influences.
·
Proper work-home balance.
Achieving these ideals is not easy. But if you know how to
move towards them, your health will improve.
Prevention is important, but so is finding the right
treatment for what ails you. It’s unlikely you will go through life without a
health problem of some kind. It could be anything from a cold to
life-threatening disease such as cancer.
Treatment becomes the priority. Prevention may limit the
severity of symptoms but won’t always prevent the illness. Then you need to
focus on how to sort things out.

Conventional or Alternative
Therapy?
You don’t need to choose. The Western world has come to
favour the conventional system with doctors, surgeons, drugs, radiotherapy and
so on. The Eastern countries have used complementary and alternative therapies
for centuries – acupuncture, herbs, massage, yoga, etc.
Practitioners in each of these specialities believe their
therapy is the best and the others are unsuccessful. That is entirely the wrong
way. They choose to ignore the benefits of other therapies. They run down what
the others say and do, and see it as competition. All of them have something to
offer.
Remember, you are unique. Your genes, temperament,
thinking, and beliefs combine to make you different from everyone else. Why is
it that we think there is some universal cure that will work for everyone? It
stands to reason that no single treatment works for all. Yet, you are surprised
that the tablets that helped a colleague did nothing for you.
You should look outside your first treatment choice if it
doesn’t work. It really doesn’t matter where you begin – conventional medicine
or alternative therapy. Look around to other therapies to see what they have to
offer as an alternative or an add-on to your treatment.
There are a great many therapies to treat all kinds of
illnesses and it’s a good bet that something will be for you. Get some
information on these therapies and talk to a suitable professional. Then you
can work out treatment aimed at the optimum outcome.

Education or Information?
You don’t have to choose. Education reminds me of school,
college and university where graduation depends of hours of study, writing
essays, preparing for exams and so on. It smacks of compulsion and there’s no
way you will be forced to learn any more than you want, if you are interested
in the subject.
Information gives you the means to shine a light into the
darkness of health options. It illuminates the truth, the faults and problems
as well as the undoubted benefits. It allows you to see the alternative
pathways that might lead to the solution.
It’s important that you make a judgement and ultimately a
choice, provided the information is presented as straightforward and clear.
Too often, professionals try to explain something using
jargon. Jargon keeps the two sides apart and helps perpetuate the divide. It
doesn’t allow you to understand properly or to choose the right thing.
Throughout my years in the pharmaceutical profession, my
aim is to banish jargon and major on everyday language. The information you’ll
get is clear and easy to understand.

Research or Marketing?
Not another choice. You probably don’t want either. At
least research gives an uncluttered view. Doesn’t it? Perhaps.
A major problem in health research is the power wielded by
the drug industry. It has vast wealth and its influence permeates through
governments and regulatory bodies. It creates bias in reporting. In years gone
by such influence appeared to be for the best. Best for the nation’s health.
Best for you and me. No more!
The pursuit of profit changes the focus of the drug
giants. It’s aim seems to be excluding and even destroying all competition. All
to generate even more dollars.
Research, too, is tainted by sponsorship and drug money.
Health research is very expensive. Few independent organisations can afford it.
So, guess who gives the cash to researchers? The drug companies.
Published research doesn’t tell you who paid for it. How
could you know whether the results are biased? Some research doesn’t see the
light of day if it shows the drug doesn’t work or has bad side effects.
You need to have unbiased information, and that’s what I
supply – independent, unbiased and clear.

Options?
Now the choice is very personal. You must look after your
own health first and foremost. It’s up to you to decide the next step. Even if
you’re not sure of how you can progress towards better health, you owe it to
yourself to become better informed. So sign up now. It’s free and there’s no
obligation.
The hardest part is that along with the duty to look after
your health come the consequences of your decision and actions. Do nothing,
ignore advice, hope for the best and the consequences include chronic disease
and premature death.
Start the process of prevention and joined-up treatment
and the consequences include feeling good, limiting illness and living longer
while enjoying life to the full. Is there a choice? I don’t think so.
Take a look at what we do. Read the newsletter and
articles on the site. Think about prevention and treatment options. Get more
information on what intrigues you. Get in touch with your questions, thoughts
and suggestions. You are the only one who can change your health for the
better. I can help, but you have to make the first move.
