Choosing A Natural Health Magazine Which is Unbiased

Natural health magazines abound, often giving you conflicting advice. Who should you believe?

I believe any good natural health magazine, like any good magazine, shouldn’t so much give you advice, rather they should give unbiased important pros and cons and leave you to work out the best solution for you.

After all you are unique. What is helpful to the magazine editor may be harmful to you. Only you can decide.

Being unbiased is hugely important. We’re all reading in the news how doctors have been paid to create unsubstantiated ‘scientific’ papers supporting some drug or other.

Natural health magazine editors are people too. Some good, some bad, some indifferent. If the editor only advocates items they receive a royalty form, they aren’t unbiased.

Sure, we all need to make our daily crust, but it’s best to be open about what we profit from.

A good natural health magazine should look at all aspects of health, not just focus on physical ailments. For example, diet is critical to good health.

I recently read of six people, all suffering with type 2 diabetes, on insulin and all obese. Within one week of a change of diet, most were off their insulin. Within one month, they all were.

Isn’t that awesome?

I find it extraordinary that doctors receive no nutritional training whatsoever.

Yet I doubt there is a natural health therapist who doesn’t understand the importance of diet.

Natural health covers every aspect of who you are. You aren’t just your body. You aren’t just your mind. You are a unique and complex unit. Your feelings and emotions are as important (actually more so) as your thoughts and creations.

So any natural health magazine worth its salt will cover aspects of your emotional health, as well as your physical health. When you ignore your emotional health, sooner or later you’ll suffer physical ill health.

Everyone knows that stress causes anxiety and that anxiety causes higher blood pressure and faster heart rate. While that’s fine for a short period, if you continually have these ‘anxiety attacks’, your physical health will deteriorate.

But you don’t have to resort to drugs. There are many effective, natural alternatives. And homeopathy can actually get to the cause of why you are suffering these attacks in the first place.

And fix it.

And lastly, your magazine should have a readers question area. Whilst the answer may not be specifically helpful for your ailment, they should be able to point you in the right direction. They should know what areas each natural health modality excels in and which has limited ability.

For example, you wouldn’t go to a masseuse if you had incontinence. And you probably wouldn’t go to a chiropractor if you had a torn ligament. It’s doubtful you’d see an acupuncturist if you had been abused as a child.

Yet all these health issues can be resolved using homeopathy.

Natural Health Products - Where, What, Why and How

If you’re new to natural health, you may be wondering what products to buy and where to purchase them, for the best quality and value. You’ll also probably like to know what they can do for your health and how to take them.

If you’re a seasoned natural health products user, you may be wondering how to extend your knowledge.

One of the best ways of getting your head around a new concept AND extending your knowledge is to subscribe to a good, regular ezine (online newsletter) which discusses various ailments, a multitude of the natural health products which will help resolve these symptoms, and the whereabouts of where you can purchase these, wherever you are in the world.

One of the best range of natural health products are homeopathic remedies. These are highly effective, low cost and easy to use. You can use the services of a professional homeopath to help deal with deep seated issues. And you can use some common remedies in the comfort of your own home, dealing with any ailments from a cold to a burn.

Homeopathy is a new concept to most people. You may not know what it is or how it works.

Learning anything new takes time. The best way is to learn a little at a time. This way, it becomes a part of live.

When I run classes on how to home prescribe, I encourage participants to practice on their families, in between classes. The following class always starts off with the excited chatter of how successful their efforts have been.

There’s nothing quite as exciting as having your own personal success!

There are already more than 4,000 homeopathic remedies available and this is added to daily as more remedies become known about. As a home prescriber, only about 40 are available to you, but that’s still a lot to get your head around when you don’t know much!

Of all the natural health products available, from herbs to food, homeopathy is probably the most difficult for a newbie, as the concepts are so different from mainstream thinking.

So it’s good to have a mentor, to help guide you through the maze.

Challenges are a great way to stretch your mind, but they can be overwhelming when you get stuck and don’t know where to go for help.

Of all the natural health products about, I know of no other than homeopathy which can do so much good when you select the correct remedy, and do no harm if you get it wrong.

That’s a mighty claim.

I just want to repeat it as it really is profound.

Do so much good...

... and do no harm.

What other natural health products can make that claim?

I know very little about herbs, aromatherapy, chiropractic (for example), other than they can be wonderful, and also harmful in the wrong hands.

What other health products can make that claim?

I know very little about medicine (and don’t want to), other than it is mostly suppressive and works against your body’s own innate healing powers. This means it comes at a price - twice.

Once as a high monetary cost, once in the harmful effect on your overall, long term health.

In my opinion, nothing comes close to homeopathy in the way it can resolve deep seated issues and long standing symptoms. The most difficult part is getting started. Once you’ve created that momentum, things click into place naturally.
