Looking for an Alternative Health Magazine But Feel Confused by the Array?

People in their droves are turning their backs on the manipulative medical and pharmaceutical markets and are starting to take control of their own health. It’s a turning point for the world. As you take control of your own health, so you influence the greater world.

With the booming of the natural and alternative health market, you could be forgiven for being confused. There seem to be so many modalities. Some do this, some do that. Some are hands on (and so could be worrying for the nervous), some are hands off.

There’s homeopathy, massage, naturopathy, kinesiology, herbalism, flower essences, acupuncture, Chinese medicine, Bowan therapy, chiropractic, hypnotherapy, the list is endless.

You may never have heard of many of them. And some of them cross over.

By subscribing to an alternative health magazine, even if it does specialise, will mean that you’ll get a better understanding of what that modality can do and if you are attracted to it.

Knowledge is power! You can’t make up your mind about where to go with your health care, without knowing something about the various options.

So what should you look for in an informative alternative health magazine? Apart from the modality speciality of the author, wider areas should also be discussed, such as diet. And the emerging truth about some of the risks with conventional medical tests and treatments.

With medicine and drugs dominating the western health care system for decades, you have never been given options to explore. They ruled with an iron hand.

Now things are changing. It’s a new century, a new age, a new awareness. People are demanding to know the truth. And to their right to choose.

When you’re looking for an alternative health magazine which specialises, check out it also covers other areas of natural health, such as diet. It should sometimes bring in experts to discuss various options and what to avoid.

I have heard that some doctors don’t believe diet has a direct impact on health. Don’t, for one moment, believe them! Diet is all important. For example, Westin A. Price (1870-1948), a Cleveland dentist looked for the causes of dental decay and physical degeneration that he observed in his dental practice. He went searching for people with fine teeth and good health. He found them the world over in isolated human groups, including villages in Switzerland, Gaelic communities in the Outer Hebrides, Eskimos and Indians of North America, and other remote locations.

A good alternative health magazine will explore some of the common areas of conventional health care, particularly the controversial ones, such as vaccination. And will often give their speciality slant on them.

Many alternative health magazines are free to subscribe to and appear regularly. Regular magazines are a good idea, as it helps to keep you on track. With the best will in the world, you’ll be influenced by the media, your family, friends and colleagues, who may not yet have started to explore their health rights and options.

When you’re new to exploring something, you’re in a vulnerable position and can be easily influenced. Stay true to your feelings and keep looking and learning!
