Re: Herbs Are Not Effective and Quite Dangerous

>>"I don't want to sound like a pessimist, but I truly believe and from experience find that herbs\alternative healing\energy healing to be not as effective as allopathic medicines."<<

You need to be more specific. Herbs, spices and foods are only as good as the conditions and soils they are grown in... so if you chose to use cheap whatever, and not the best and healthiest biodynamic or organic stuff you could find, AND you were self treating with little herbal education and quite possibly using herbs that were contraindicated at the same time, you likely would have come to that conclusion/opinion.

>>"Actually, I find that allot of people are being mislead and misguided in taking herbal remdedies that have not been studied in treating certain illnesses and conditions."<<

Most of the herbal information that H presents is based upon thousands of years of use and proof. IMO it is very accurate as well. In addition, most herbs used specifically for any condition are the very same herbs pharmaceutical companies have isolated, synthesized and patented their compounds from.

>>"I have tried allot of herbal treatments and found that they did not work on the flip side I took the allopathic and within a short period of time I was back on my feet and continuing with my daily life."<<

Sure, drugs mask symptoms in most cases, especially those drugs that one must take for the rest of their lives... that is not what we want here... we want resolution of the cause if at all possible - a problem realized since birth being the most difficult to resolve. Herbs can be used to resolve and even mask symptoms if need be, but ameliorating the root cause should be the goal if at all possible.

>>"Now, some may argue that well allopathic treats merely the symptom and herbal treats the root of the problem, but what a load of crap!"<<

You are entitled to your opinion...

>>"I think we all want to the symptoms to go away so we can go on with our daily life. Who has the time nowadays to wait for months or years in order to relieve their symptoms."<<

That is a fundamental societal problem that is counter productive IMO. Most problems can be resolved in about 6 months tops... Dr. Ornish has proven one can change their DNA expression of over 500 genes in as little as 6 months with diet alone... no herbs, however food spices of which some are very potent such as turmeric.

>>"I truly believe after wasting so much time and money on herbs that I'm confident that they don't work, and it's a shame to see innocent people suffering by given false hopes."<<

See my address above on quality of product... also realize that these things are individually dose specific... different people needing different doses... weight, height and physical condition all play a part in dosing.

>>"I am now way directing this thread to any particular person, but as I said the title of this forum is, "The Truth In Medicine". and hopefully users are being told the truth about herbs/medicines."<<

The truth is thousands of years old in every culture from the beginning of time... Allopathy is a baby, perhaps 80 to 100 years old (with its barbaric roots going back a few hundred years before that) that has not found the right direction yet... other than to set or stitch traumatic injury such as broken bones, etc.

The truth I suspect is a matter of opinion and belief system.

I trust God and his gift of plants to man... not man made, what I would describe as poisons. That said, man did, in the beginnings of allopathy use friendly bacteria such as HSOs and SBOs before the advent of cheap and highly profitable Antibiotics ... they also used a plethora of mineral based "drugs" that actually did help remediate root causes, however left them behind also for highly profitable synthetic/chemical patented symptom relievers and manipulator type drugs.

To each their own... you choose your road, and allow myself and others the "freedom" to chose ours whether you see our light or not.
