The downside of running an online natural health magazine is often how distant we are from our readers. There is no way to sit down with all of you and brainstorm (something I love to do).
We’re often far apart in miles and time zones.
That’s why I love it when you leave a comment on our articles. I encourage you to tell us what you would like to hear.
And lately, we’ve been posting a weekly poll on the right hand side of this blog to get your input on pressing issues.
I’ll get right back to the poll and the surprising information it revealed a couple of weeks ago but first…
… I’ve a confession to make.
I grew up in a government-centered Scandinavian country where health care was free and nobody doubted the almighty doctors or the rules of the country. If mistakes were made, nobody was held accountable.
So what if they put a cast on my broken arm but did it wrong (when I was 10) so it was almost useless? Or if they overdosed me with antibiotic drugs at a young age – so when I really needed them, my body was resistant and they didn’t help any more- making me exposed to serious health problems?
As I matured, however, I began to wonder and search for alternative methods to improve my health. And over and over again, I found solutions that didn’t include serious side effects or high-risk surgeries. And I also realized there were others out there on the same quest.
But until a few days ago, I didn’t realize how many of us were skeptical about the government and medical system monitoring our medications and health.
Back to the poll…
According YOU, my dear readers, over 93% of those reading this blog said they did NOT trust the government to approve safe drugs.
This is an amazingly high number. More than 9 out of 10 people!
This doesn’t mean you and I won’t go to see a doctor. Or that we will not take medications when absolutely necessary. It simply means that we’re on the same quest to seek out natural methods whenever possible and be critical when it comes to which medications we take.
Don’t avoid visiting your doctor. But ask him/her tough questions. Research the drugs prescribed to you on the Internet and double-check that they are safe. Do your homework. Did you know that the average person will spend 15 times more effort and time researching what car to buy than what drug to take?
And most of all, research alternative methods. The Internet is a wonderful place to begin. Full of great information on everything under the sun to deal with natural health.
You can begin by checking out some of our Blue Heron natural health guides. Links are on the right hand side of this blog. These guides are written by me and other people on the same quest as you and me… for safe, healthy methods to gain natural health!
Hi

Thank you so much for your newsletter and well researched information. I do appreciate it so much. Personally, I believe that if we ate the perfect diet we would all be in great shape. But is that possible in this era? Not sure. It would probably cost a fortune. So – again, personally, I take supplements which will enhance my food intake. Such as Choline, Niacin, Calcium, etc., etc. I started about 20 years ago researching nutrients and their impact on the body. Amazing. I try to follow a carefully researched and calculated amount and when I run into a problem I am quick to “run” to my vitamin book. On the subject of healing – I believe that we do not really understand the power of our minds and how we actually heal. But, God knows and I believe that our minds affect our bodies in many ways that even scientists do not understand. What I LOVE hearing about is new research in areas because that is something I don’t read up enough on. So – for instance, if there is a new theory out about a certain vitamin – I would like to know about that. That is something that Drs. don’t tell you because if we knew enough about vitamins/minerals, would we need Dr.s? (I would just need a chiropractor.) Thank you, Carol A. H.
I like your site. You present many intelligent options. Keep up the great work!
I enjoy your information as I don’t like stat. drugs I’m looking for the miracle food to heal my husband, heart /fluid retention and low energy and so on.,
After trying 3 statin drugs for cholesterol and having nasty side effects from all 3, against my Dr.’s orders I started my own regime. It starts off with diet. oatmeal (large flake-not processed) every morning reduces cholesterol. Niacin has been proven to work very well but you must check to see if it will counter any other drugs you may be taking. Keep your blood pressure at a decent level or it will affect cholesterol, Walk instead of always taking the car and lastly, clear out your pantry and fridge of all high fat and processed foods. Good news, my cholesterol is now below what it was when I was taking medication.
My name is Christine Hall, and I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and severe depression when I was only 26 years of age and told that I would be in a wheelchair by the time I was 40 years old, I was prescribed Valium back then and would be confined to bed most days.
I am now 62 years of age and totally free of RA. When I was first diagnosed way back in the 1970s, I decided to embark on a program of natural or alternative medicine which included Acupuncture, Homoeopathy and herbal treatments.
In 1982 my husband David and I started studying Electro-Acupuncture and the first thing he treated me for, was my tinnitus and to our amazement it was totally cured.
I then embarked on further training in Homoeopathy and later Herbal therapy. In 1997 I became engrossed in the work of Dr Hulda Clark and her treatment methods, which had a dramatic change in the way I began treating patients. Since that time I have treated 1000s of people with all manner of illnesses and medical problems that cannot be resolved by using conventional medicine.
In 1998 we both realised that we needed to get to the root of peoples disorders so we began studying EAV (Bio Regulatory Medicine) which utilises a modern form of Electro Acupuncture along with Homeographic copies of substances that can detect and treat many illnesses. This system has become an incredible tool for me as I can detect the energetic signatures of parasites, bacteria, virus and other contaminants within the bodies eco system very quickly.
The EAV machine that I use is a German made unit and detects substances within the body in a similar way to the Hulda Clark designed Syncrometer. Both systems use a probe on the skin and take a while to master the technique used.
Therefore I know from first hand experience how parasites affect many peoples health, I have been using all of the herbal tinctures as recommended by Dr Hulda and have seen all manner of people re-gain their health and lives back.
So Blogs, Forums and sites like this are excellent ways of getting the truth out there.
