The Emerging Role of Nutritional Supplementation in Medicine Part 1- The Emerging Trends of “Natural” Medicine
How to embrace the New Evolution that is occuring in health care as more natural medicines gain acceptance
Interestingly, there is a whole new acceptance that is largely a result of increased scientific investigation and the public’s awareness of this article and research. It appears that medical researchers now have their possession the technology and understanding necessary to more fully appreciate the value of “natural” therapies. In essence, many natural therapies are being improved or refined through scientific investigation. Science is paving the way for the medicine of the future-a medicine that recognizes the healing power of nature. We use science to explain the nature of the human body and the environment and what we must keep in mind is that science is evolutionary, the underlying natural laws it tries to explain are constant. In other words, gravity existed long before Sir Isaac Newton was around to explain it. Brreakthrough developments in many areas are occuring at an incredible pace, particularly in the areas of medicine.
There is a future trend toward using substances found in nature, including compounds that are found in the human body- such as interferon, interleukin, insulin, and human growth hormone-as well as foods , food components, herbs, and herbal compounds. More and more researchers are discovering the tremendous healing properties of these natural compounds and their advantagesover synthetic medicines and surgery in the treatment of many health conditions. Through these scienctific investigtions, a trend towards natural medicines is emerging.
Most natural healing therapies are based upon scientific investigation. In most cases, the initial, investigation was of an empirical or observational nature. However, in the past 20 plus years there have been tremendous advances in the understanding of how many natural therapies work to promote health or treat disease. This increased understanding is a result of more strict scientific investigation. To conclude this article keep in mind that scientific studies and observations have have not only held up in validity of diet, nutritional supplementation, herbal remedies, chiropractic adjustments, and massage, but also some of the more esoteric natural healing treatments such as acupuncture, biofeedback, meditation, and homeopathy. Noy only has these natural cures and remedies held up in scientific investigation and been validated but the natural approach has led to signicant improvements. I hope to educate you on the reasons why Prevention is the Best Cure in this 4 part series of articles. Stay tuned for the 5 principles emerging the philosophy of medicine.
Have a happy and healthy day!
