I am a Registered Nurse who works in downtown Emergency Deptartment. I am often surprised at the passive approach people have toward their health. Often they do not know much about their health compromising conditions and why they are taking certain drugs. I usually instruct them to have a list of their meds and their conditions in their wallets. People must research their conditions and maintain full control of the wide spectrum of health choices. After much prayerful thought and discernment, everyone must make their own decisions, even if they may run in opposition to what the "experts think". I take my hat off to physicians who go against the mainstream to reveal their truths (Dr. Abraham Hoffer, Dr. Hyla Cass (psychiatrists), Dr. Sherry Rogers, Dr. Cass Ingram, Dr. Carl Reardon, etc.
Alternatively, I am pleased when patients tell me that they take vitamins and minerals in regards to their illnesses. I am a big believer in a naturopathic way of life which incorporates healthy eating & living which involves being true to oneself and a connection with God and all that he has created (fresh fruits and veggies) plus vitamins and minerals, exercise, reflection, meditation, etc.
I am so thankful that Alive provides me with such insightful information which I can use for myself and others. Keep up the good work. |
