The Best Doctor!

                                    

On the one hand there was Hippocrates, who was certainly the precursor of medicine, in the 5th century BC.

But 700 years later, it was Galen who understood, propagated and transmitted to the world the knowledge of the Greek scholar.

Galen left an immense body of work which established him as the founder of Western medicine.

And it was Galen who said that the best doctor is nature, because it cures three quarters of all our illnesses.

And on the other hand, there is a whole continent!

This is what scientists have revealed about a continent equipped with sophisticated and rapid means of information.

Its abundant and populated biodiversity, its connections, its trails and its networks.

The magazine Science et Avenir made the front page of one of its issues, alerting its readers to the existence of this “second brain”, which is none other than our good belly, containing 200 million neurons, which communicate constantly with the guardian of our well-being called the brain installed under our skull.

And since then, this expression has flourished and specialists are talking more and more about this continent and it is no longer a taboo, it is the intestines, which have become a very popular destination for new invaders eager for scientific knowledge.

This dense forest of 40 trillion bacteria, many with unpronounceable names like Lachnospiraceae or Bacteroides, could actually generate big profits.

Like an El Dorado, our intestinal flora today offers an enormous amount of basic knowledge in biology, as well as numerous weapons to fight serious illnesses such as cancer or epilepsy or depression or even autism etc.

In the age of low-calorie diets, abundance of protein and so-called miraculous superfood powders, natural eating calls us back to the sources without miracles, but with beneficial effects.

While information about the food industry abounds on television, YouTube and social media and in supermarkets, processed or prepared products are increasingly losing their popularity.

And one might ask: if we can't trust fad diets and processed foods, what should we eat to maintain our health and our body?

And the answer is quite simple: eat natural foods.

Because today, without going out to cultivate your field, you must adopt a healthy diet, based on a maximum of raw, unprocessed or minimally processed foods, rich in nutrients and well distributed in meals.

Our salvation therefore lies in the return to a diet closer to our ancestors, far from factories and petrochemicals.

And we are going to talk about it in this article in a new and innovative way.

To do this, let us first ask ourselves the following question: do we seek food because it is natural or because it is beneficial to health?

Knowing at first glance that the purpose of food is to provide nutrients to our body, and any other contribution is neither beneficial nor harmful.

Food should contribute to the maintenance of life and health, but a natural product is not necessarily suitable for life and well-being.

Let's take, as an extreme example, the Amanita phalloides mushroom, which is a very natural product, but we cannot say that it is a food!

It is a product that can kill. And the foods that contribute to health and life are organic foods (organic = life).

Organic food is obtained through a growing method that improves life and excludes the addition of any artificial chemicals, whether in the form of fertilizers, fungicides, herbicides, insecticides, etc.

Not all food products sold under the “natural” label are always from organic farming. Far from there.

The healthiest thing is to stay healthy by treating yourself, using natural methods.

And these are simple and natural ideas that allow us to stay in shape, live or regain good health and trust nature and its treasures.

By remaining more vigilant and more responsible for our balance, avoiding the risks of certain illnesses, and helping ourselves to heal in the event of imbalance or illness by providing our body with natural products that stimulate our immune defenses and the treatments that Nature offers us.

It is the effective remedy for most of our illnesses.

All the chemistry that invades our daily life and our food turns out to be not at all necessary

Most of us have understood and are returning to natural practices and alternative medicines to relieve our repetitive ailments.

Because they know that the main thing is to eat healthily and be physically active, to better manage daily stress gently, to allow time to rest and enjoy a good night's sleep.

And Because the benefit of a healthy life, to maintain or acquire a state of physical and mental well-being, is the basic solution.

Besides the environment, food is the main source of our diseases. Whether it is diseases caused by biological agents, diseases caused by chemical (toxic) agents, and even diseases caused by the intrinsic nutrients in our foods; Many people have little information about this phenomenon and do not care much about it. There is a saying that “eating well is living better”.

Naturopathy, which draws on practices from many cultures, emerged as a formal health system in a number of developed countries at the beginning of the last century.

It is based on the concept of natural healing power and emphasizes the following points:

• Prevent and treat diseases by following a healthy lifestyle
• Treat the person as a whole
• Use the body's innate healing abilities, which means self-healing.

Naturopathy also focuses on finding the cause of illness rather than just treating its symptoms. But some principles of this system do not differ from traditional healing systems, such as traditional Chinese medicine for example.

As it involves the philosophy of the whole system and the whole person, and can benefit people with heart disease, pain, type 2 diabetes, mental health disorders and chronic health conditions.

Physiotherapy uses a combination of treatments, including diets and natural diets.

Like taking nutritional supplements, often by infusionMedical herbs.Natural physical therapies such as heat or cold therapy, ultrasound or massages or even thalassotherapy, Hydrotherapy etc....Exercise and sports therapy.

But some practitioners oppose therapies not verified by science, just as they also oppose childhood vaccinations, even though studies have shown that vaccines protect against disease and death, and that the benefits of vaccination far exceed the risks.
