Important Health Update
Copyright 2005 Wayne McDonald

Staying healthy does NOT start when you get sick, when you
refill your prescriptions, when you are scheduled for
surgery or when your doctor says you have six months to
live. Your health is an important long-term investment and
it is wise to have the resources to stay educated and
healthy.

Although I do not know you personally, I really do care
quite deeply about your health and well being. Why?
Because I know there are answers and a lot of resources at
your disposal. I have been in the alternative therapy
industry for over 15 years and I work with hundreds of
experienced health practitioners. I have spoken to people
that have overcome mild health challenges to life
threatening health challenges. Unfortunately, most people
turn to alternative therapies, or complementary medicine,
after everything else fails.

I am not a medical doctor, but I do provide the resources
so visitors to my health site can find answers to many
health questions. Sometimes I receive an email and I am
just stumped on how to respond because the answer is so
blatantly obvious. For example, a woman inquired about a
liquid dietary supplement and how fast she would feel
healthy again. She explained that she was diabetic and in
an average day smoked four packs of cigarettes, drank a
couple of beers and ate a half-pound of bacon.

The best advice is moderation. To say that there is "one"
healthy path would be a lie. I tell my clients to become
"body aware" and listen to what it needs (or when it
hurts). Most people have one or more of the following body
complaints, but ignore the symptoms. Months or years later,
people go to their doctors for pain pills or other
treatments for the symptoms – I will repeat TREATMENT OF
SYMPTOMS. To get results you must treat the cause, not the
symptoms. The most common body complaints are lower back
pain, knee or hip problems, headaches, stress and pain in
the jaw, shooting pain down arms or legs, and the list goes
on.

If you experience any of these symptoms, I would recommend
that you log-in to the Internet and find a qualified health
practitioner. Read articles, get educated, ask questions
and try an acupuncturists, a massage therapists, a
chiropractor, a Reiki master, a medical intuitive, etc.

Although prescriptions can serve a purpose over a short
time, long time use may cause other health challenges. It
is important to be aware of the small health challenges as
well as the big health challenges. Some of your body aches,
or symptoms, may appear mild but that is usually because
you have tolerated it or ignored it for so long. Body aches
can set-in and become a health challenge like arthritis.
Your body is very smart at adapting and counterbalancing
itself. When your body (or muscle) tenses, it then counter
balances itself by tensing or relaxing another muscle.
Overtime your body can become unbalanced and twisted.

I would recommend working with a health practitioner on a
ongoing basis. Start with a few weekly sessions and
progress to a monthly schedule. Several sessions in a row
will help speed up your recovery.

Working with different alternative therapists overtime will
assist you in becoming more educated and familiar with the
many health benefits of complementary therapies. You'll
discover new ways to treat old health challenges and you
will have made a wise investment into your long-term health.
