BODY IN CRISIS
Physicians, Holistic Health Practitioners and many other people know about this crisis. For years this crisis that the body goes through when illness occurs, before natural remedies for back pain are considered has waged war on our bodies. In an effort to fight off toxins and wastes the organs that eliminate these foreign substances get inflamed and congested. During this crisis the persons condition may seem to worsen. Often this is not a new or intensified disease, it is part of the healing process.
Ready For A Fight and natural remedies for back pain
During this healing crisis, the body uses fever to burn out the intruder (illness). Heavy perspiration, bumps, sores, colds and vomiting are some ways the body seeks to eliminate and expel the illness. Medicinal drugs prescribed by some physicians immediately stop this crisis i.e. the body stops fighting to rid itself of the very illness that is causing it harm and turns its attention to the medication, the new “invader”.
Picking the Wrong Fight
The body appears to be resting quietly now, with little or no symptoms but in actuality it is laid low by the medication. In picking a fight with this medication, the situation is now more complicated than if a natural remedy, which the body treats as a friend is used. In this situation the body does not heal itself naturally. Although relief from symptoms of illness may be relatively fast, often, negative side effects occur, as evidenced in the long disclaimers seen after advertisements for these medications.
