+Natural Healing vs Alternative Medicine...Re: Ashwagandha or Maca?

Lonefeather,

First, to answer your main question, I prefer Ashwagandha (organic root powder, NO isolated or standardized extracts) over Maca for Adrenal issues. I'm biased, because I personally have had fantastic results with Ashwagandha (and never tried the Maca)...but my initial research showed a 'bit of an edge' for Ashwagandha over Maca. I got the results I needed, and I never bothers to 'look back' :)

Before I address your other questions/concerns, I just went and scanned the majority of your past posts. You're very intelligent and I see you've done a lot of good research...into the world of 'alternative medicine'. This forum is totally different, it's about NATURAL healing and the methodologies & concepts are TOTALLY DIFFERENT, and the results are PHENOMENALLY SUPERIOR! So get ready, here it comes:

First, please read this post: //www.curezone.org/forums/fm.asp?i=1372970#i


...so that you have a good baseline about how "scientific medicine" got to be what it is today (using chemicals & procedures that are unnatural to the body to alter it's functions, putting a big piece of toxic duct tape over the symptoms, which makes us feel better for a time, but makes us sicker, so we need more drugs, that make us sicker, ad nauseum). We now call this "science" :::huge eyeroll:::
...and folks the results ARE in! WE WIN THE TROPHY! Using this method get us the prize for the sickest nation on the planet with the highest rates of degenerative disease. :::sigh:::

What is 'alternative medicine'? A method of bandaiding symptoms (based entirely upon 'scientific medicine'), using all KINDS of substances in a form that is TOTALLY unnatural to the body (many of which are only slightly less toxic than pharmaceutical drugs), in order to manipulate the body so that we feel better, and some times it does make us feel better for a time, but makes us sicker, so we need more/different substances to balance out the results of the other imbalancing substances we took months ago, that makes us sicker and more out of balance, ad nauseum). We now call this "alternative science".

...and folks the results are in again! IT DOESN'T WORK! It takes nothing more than 50 clicks on CZ to prove it...and the majority of posters know it - they just don't know what else to do.

The Difference Between Natural Healing and Medical Intervention by Dr Schulze

Oh dear, well then who DOES know how to heal and restore our body? The answer is kind of a "well duh" kind of thing...OUR BODY KNOWS EXACTLY HOW TO RESTORE ITSELF! It's hardwired with the schematics to keep us alive and healthy.

All we have to do? --

STOP putting totally unnatural substances, toxins & poisons in.
CLEANSE and restore are organs to their proper working order.
START giving our bodies everything they need to have the energy, nutrition, 'fuel' and assistance they need to do the restoration.

But Uny, I DID a colon cleanse; I've done some 'raw fooding' (it made me weak/sick/tired); I did a Liver Flush or two (yuck, and I didn't get much out; I tried juicing (I felt better for a few days); I did some hot/cold showers once (too brutal), etc., etc., etc.

But did you ever do it all at once? We can't restore a classic car that's been 'ridden hard' and improperly maintained for decades -one part at a time- (no matter HOW good the body looks on the outside). If you cleanse the exhaust you get some great results, but if you haven't changed/cleansed the oil filter & fuel lines, the exhaust'll clog back up. And then the carburetor needs cleaning & rebuilding, and the transmission is old, and the alternator is "iffy", and it ran on cheap fuel for SO many years, that it's a gunky mess.

Go ahead, try to restore that beauty "one part at a time", and you'll still be getting it right twenty years from now.

BUT, put that classic up on blocks, and overhaul it completely, give it nothing but TOP grade premium fuel...and she'll be back on the road, blowin' away ALL the 'youngsters', and pulling back into the driveway purring like a kitten in a couple of months.

Don't know how to do that kind of 'engine work'...that's why I'm here (and I learned it from the greatest & most successful healers that ever lived).

There's no need for me to 'give instructions', unless you're interested in learning more. If you want to continue to go 'alternative', then I truly do wish you the best of health...and hopefully before the dawn has broken, I will have posted the 'product list' of our entire Herbal Apothecary (which has fantastic herbal blends that will assist your body to heal itself WITHOUT throwing everything out of balance). There's a female hormone balancer (that's also very good for the endocrine system) that might just give you a world of relief....and of course, a whole range of things that will greatly assist with cleansing & healing.

Let me know if you want to know more.

Blessings -

P.S. I see you mentioned having hemochromatosis in a few of your past posts. Did you know? Vitamin C supplements release vast amounts of iron from tissues into the bloodstream, and then when one is tested for iron, their levels are artificially high (and also, it lowers copper levels). So if you're consistently testing high for iron when taking Vitamin C (or after you've taken Vitamin C), and then you take IP6 to lower iron? You could seriously and brutally deplete your body of much needed iron. I call that "Supplement Roulette"...I highly advise against playing!
