Are The Ancient Healing Ways Still Valid?
There is a tension, much like the yin and the yang, that exists between the established big power medicinal industry and the old time natural ways of healing. No question about it, the balance of power is in favor of the big power house companies. They have lots of cash and lots of political influence too.
In ancient terms it is the tension and conflict that exists between the mechanists and the vitalists. Perhaps now the mechanists have become a bit too powerful. Some speculate that they have control even over government agencies that are designed to regulate such things. With such power, even questionable things can be officially ‘approved’. But is the research all that solid in the end?
Yet, the natural remedies that currently exist have no such champion with big purse strings. In fact, many of the big prescription drug remedies are nothing more than concentrated, synthetic copies of compounds that naturally exist in nature.
So, therefore, regular remedies that grow in the forest, desert or perhaps even in one’s backyard can’t get the stamp of approval from this unnamed government agency, as a substance that is proven to have this or that effect on health. It’s rather funny when you think about it. But then, nature was there before any government and nature will be there after. Interesting isn’t it? Nature doesn’t seem to require government approval.
The tighter the grip becomes the more slips through the fingers. The balance of power is definitely too far to one side. Yet, what is happening on the other side? Old books, alternative healers, folk wisdome, old remedies, oral traditions are all still there,even if they have been forced underground. But they must emerge. As the current greedy power structure gets more greedy, more people will be forced to turn to alternatives, simply because they cannot afford what has been forced upon them any longer. Today, the cost of treatment is growing beyond the capabilites of the average person.
On the other hand, there are folks who plain don’t realy care about the current power structure, they just plain believe in the old and natural way of doing things. Some are extremely well versed in these natural methods. They follow that way because it just makes sense to them!
