Humans have been treating illnesses for hundreds of thousands of years using natural holistic medicine. Today's 100 year old biomedical healthcare system has as its main treatment protocol, pharmaceutical drugs and surgery and it has tried to banish the curative powers of nature from our minds and relegate it to the shadows . The problem is although modern medicine makes claims of wiping out diseases like small pox, diseases like high Blood pressure, diabetes and cancer are on the rise and are killing millions with no cure in sight. Statics show that 1 in 2 people will now get cancer and that those figures are set to rise by 75%. Iatronic illnesses and deaths (those caused by medical treaetment) were said in a report by the Independent newspaper as many as 22,000 deaths per year! The consequence of this is that we know less and less how to take care of our selves and our children, and leave our healthcare totally in the hands of an industry whose priority is profits.
