Nutrition vs Medicine

The first thing to reach to by many of us when we have a headache, is Panadol (or Paracetamol). When we have flu, we go for Panadol; when we have a temperature, we go for Panadol. Without knowing the source of our problem, we go for the DIY solution which is very much depending on the labels created by pharmaceutical companies.

It almost definitely releases you immediately from your problem; at least you think it is.

It is always important to know the reason why your body is sending you certain signals. We have to communicate with our body, knowing their language we know how to tackle the problem.

When I asked my colleagues to pop a few Bio Cs when they have headache, flu or a temperature, they just waived me off and say: How can vitamins treat problems like that. Oh yeah, it does because your problem is caused by the lack of it!

Medicine is a pharmaceutical drug that is chemically combined to treat diseases. However, it eliminates the disease but does not treat the root of the problem. Many patients who carry degenerative diseases such as high blood pressure, diabetes, migraines, hypertension, asthma, cramps, thyroid problems, depression or even cancer think they have to be treated with medicine. They do not know that we can reverse the problem by adding some nutrients that are insufficient from our daily food intake.

Why do you think the doctors ask their patients to change their lifestyle whenever they prescribe medication? Most of the diseases we have are all due to our poor lifestyle, not beause it 'just happened'!

Another difference between nutrition and medicine is that the former is natural and can be broken down by (enzyme-rich secretions) our body; whereas the later will leave by-products in our system because our body just cannot recognise the chemically put-together substance. Why do you think there are side effects from almost every kind of medicine?

Of course, if you have a severe illness that needs to be immediately treated then medicine will be the quickest solution. But in the meantime, changing your lifestyle by eating the right food allows your body to rebuild itself and improve the immune system in order to reverse the damage.

Nutrition takes a longer time but this is what we do every day, we eat and drink in order to live.

So eat the right food and drink clean water is the ultimate solution to not have to take drugs in the future. Who likes medicine? Even our children know that.
