Why are we surprised? Where is our common sense? How is it that man has survived wars, plagues, harsh environmental changes, droughts, pestilence, migrated all over the planet only to experience a growth in population that challenges the resources of the planet? Mankind survived because the human body is a miraculous machine designed to heal, adapt, survive, reproduce, and flourish. Healing is as natural today as it was thousands of years ago. Good food, healthy living, and positive beliefs still work as we still are living in human bodies.

“Traditional” medicine is not so traditional. It has only been around since the industrial revolution. The complete worship of science in medicine only began in the 1800’s. Before that time, healing was natural. Mankind looked to natural ways to heal. If mankind had needed chemicals foreign to the body to heal, mankind would have been extinct long before it was discovered making this whole debate a mute point.

How has mankind fared with this new traditional medicine? Well, it certainly true that people are technically living longer. Is this because of medical inventions or simply in better living conditions brought about by other inventions developed in the industrial revolution? It’s hard to know.

Are people today really living longer? People today die from much different causes than those prior to the early 1800’s. We no longer get run over by horses, or die from tribal attacks, or die from giving birth on a prairie somewhere. No, we start dying around 35 or 40 from chronic disease and just take 30 years to actually finish the process.

Does this traditional medicine actually heal disease? No, certainly not. It is not intended to. There is no cure for the cold, arthritis, diabetes, heart disease, warts, cancer or anything else. All we can expect is that the symptoms will be suppress, the cancer cells are killed, the blood sugar stabilized, or so on. There is no real attempt to allow the body to actually heal. The belief and trust placed in this traditional medicine is almost “blind”. Don’t think, don’t ask questions, and just “drink the kool-aid”. It doesn’t make sense.

How could a human body be so flawed that it cannot heal, and must rely on artificial suppression to resemble good health? It is not. The body IS designed to heal. The internal knowledge has been there since the beginning of time…. And that is how we are here today to debate this ridiculous argument about what is better for health: poison or good nutrition.
