My Top-Ten List of Why Some
People are Hostile to Natural Medicine
Laziness
In this quick-fix,
instant-gratification society some people are too lazy and too
spoiled to do the actual work required to be healthy. It's so much
easier and so tempting to simply pop some pills hoping that that
will somehow deliver health.
Drug Addiction
Between Coffee, Chocolate,
Green Tea, Black Tea, Cola Drinks, Yerba Mate, Cigarettes and
Alcohol, some people don't go a day without some sort of stimulant
drug or alcohol. For the people already addicted to these legal
drugs embracing prescription or over-the-counter drugs is the
natural choice.
Racism
Herbal Medicine and most of
the holistic health modalities whether it is yoga, acupuncture,
tai-chi, qi-gong, meditation, etc. were developed by the non-White,
Non-European peoples of this world. Some people hostile to natural
medicine are simply hiding a racist attitude that if something isn't
validated by a white man in a white labcoat then somehow it's isn't
valid. I would much rather trust in the integrity of a Akan, Ibo,
Mayan, Aborigine, Cree or Tibetian Bush Doctor/Traditional Healer
than I would any scientist or drug company. Ironically the same
scientists and drug companies that discredit the knowledge of the
indigenous peoples of the world are the same ones dispatching
ethnobotanists to every remote corner of the world to learn the
secrets of Bush Doctors so they can patent them.
Sheep-ism
Some people are sheep and
usually will only follow and seldom lead. They are not independent
thinkers, and haven't spent the time and energy needed to challenge
the information being spoon-fed to them by the corporate media and
the scientific community. This society is very affluent and if you
don't ask too many questions or make any trouble there are vast
rewards available to you.
Unfortunately holistic
health isn't one of them. For holistic health you need to listen to
you body instead of authority figures. You need to connect to nature
and to some sort of spiritual core. You need to be the leader of
your own life.
Snake-Oil Salesmen
As written in my article "
The Natural Health Products Hustle", there are too many snake oil
salesmen in the natural health products market making false claims
and dubious products. For anyone with a natural tendency to be
skeptical of natural healing this provides all the excuse they need
to be hostile.
Godlessness
Some people just don't
believe. Some people don't believe in respecting nature, in
respecting their bodies, in experiencing the connectedness between
all things. For unbelievers such as these they will have a
challenging time suspending their negativity and disbelief towards
holistic healing and thus may never benefit from it fully.
The Anti-Christ Factor
Some people do believe. What
they choose to believe in are the Gods of Science and Industry. They
believe in the rape and pillaging of the environment, in factory
farming, in genetically modifying food, in pesticides and chemical
fertilizers. Their belief system compels them to see all things
natural as heresy.
Stubbornness
Like George Bush with his
Iraq War and Napoleon in his Russian Campaign, some people are too
stubborn to admit when they've made a mistake or are on the wrong
side of an issue. Forsaking Natural Medicine for synthetic factory
medicine was a mistake and is a mistake. There is a place in healing
for high tech equipment and synthetic drugs. In my opinion those
options are for emergency situations or in situations where natural
therapy has failed. They just have everything ass-backwards. Natural
medicine is the real medicine and Allopathic Medicine should be used
as "Alternative Medicine" and treated with the degree of skepticism
currently reserved for Natural Medicine by the mainstream.
Fear
Some people are afraid of
nature. They are afraid of anything untamed by man. If it isn't
slickly packaged, sterile, and dead, they are afraid. If it doesn't
come with the seal of approval of the government or the scientific
community they are also afraid. Their fear keeps them dis-empowered.
Factory People Need Factory
Medicine?
If you have lost your
individuality and become a mass-produced factory person, eating
mass-produced factory food, having mass-produced factory thoughts,
then perhaps only mass-produced factory medicine will resonate with
you. Perhaps it's wrong to even try to convince you to eat
organically or to heal yourself holistically. Maybe you have evolved
into some kind of Darwinian nightmare that can only live on
synthetic pleasures.
