Our medical industry is incredible at emergency treatment that saves lives, pain management and replacing broken systems. But, they are not in the business of curing. Yes, you heard me right. Western medical doctors seek to replace the body's natural immune system activity. By providing either antibiotics to kill bacteria or chemotherapeutic agents that try to arrest aggressive cellular growth or with bioengineered molecules that simulate elements of our own immune system, they try to make up for the lack of a strong immune system.
Surgery, and it's related stress can also depresses the immune system. The greatest cause of death following a successful surgery is a secondary, or nosocomial infection (one picked up as a result of the hospital stay).
In contrast, traditional medical practitioners use botanicals and other natural substances to stimulate the body's own defense mechanisms rather than substitute for them. Many products that have been proven to improve our immune system, and have been used in Asia for hundreds of years. But companies in the US have mostly ignored them because they can't synthesize and patient them. That's because these products are natural, like the Coriolus Versicolor mushroom PSK/PSP.
This article is not to discredit the excellent work done by medical researchers in developing some effective medicines. However, we live in an ocean of bacteria and viruses. It is not the microorganisms that cause disease; it is our inefficient immune system. We see the evidence of this truth constantly around us. One person in an office gets a very bad cold. The one sitting next to him doesn't get a sniffle. Certainly both were exposed to the same microorganisms. What is the difference? It is in the differences between their immune system systems.
Among all the incredible features of our bodies, our immune system is perhaps one of the most amazing mechanisms. It is designed to defend you against millions of bacteria, microbes, viruses, toxins and parasites that would love to invade your body.
The immune system is the body's ultimate defense against infectious agents. So, it only makes sense that a healthy immune system has the best chance for defending the body.
