Drugs vs Healthy Living

by Arup Bhattacharya, PhD, HD(RHom), HMD

Conventional drug-based therapy is limited in its scope of delivering 'cures'. It focuses primarily on the mechanism/s of disease and in subverting the symptoms from expressing themselves as 'pain' and 'discomfort'. It is often contraindicated, leads to many side-effects, and can potentially cause iatrogenic illness - a major cause of death in the US.

Drugs target the mechanistic pathways and are generally not focused on the origin of disease, which tens to be non-linear, multi0faceted and a result of a complex mix of our mental health, emotional outlook and coping abilities for our life-situations. 

The human body is an ecosystem made of trillions of cells, a majroity of which consist of a eubiotic microbiome population that co-exists within us. The body has an incredible ability to regenerate and heal itself provided it is afforded the proper stimulus and the opportunity to re-balance itself. 

Various complementary and alternative medicines focus on maintaining the individual's ability to heal itself rather than subverting the symptoms of disease. Go for these medicines
