Why Are Some People Against Natural Medicine?

The Top Ten Reasons Why Some People Oppose Natural Medicine

Laziness

Some people are too lazy and spoiled to do the hard work required to stay healthy in today's quick-fix, instant-gratification society. It's so much easier and more appealing to simply take some medications in the hopes of achieving wellness.

Addiction to drugs

Coffee, chocolate, green tea, black tea, cola drinks, yerba mate, cigarettes, and alcohol are among the stimulant drugs and alcoholic beverages consumed by some people. Prescription or over-the-counter medicines are the logical choices for those who are already addicted to these legal narcotics.

Racism

Herbal medicine, as well as the majority of holistic healing techniques such as yoga, acupuncture, tai-chi, qi-gong, meditation, and others, were established by non-white, non-European peoples around the world. Some opponents of natural medicine are merely concealing a racist belief that anything that isn't validated by a white man in a white labcoat isn't valid. I'd rather trust an Akan, Ibo, Mayan, Aborigine, Cree, or Tibetian Bush Doctor/Traditional Healer's integrity than any scientist or drug business. Ironically, the same scientists and medical firms that dismiss indigenous peoples' expertise are also dispatching ethnobotanists to every nook and cranny of the globe to discover the secrets of Bush Doctors so that they can patent them.

Sheep-ism

Some people are like sheep, and they prefer to follow rather than lead. They aren't independent thinkers who haven't put in the time or effort to question the material that has been spoon-fed to them by the corporate media and the scientific community. This is an extremely wealthy civilization, and if you don't ask too many questions or cause any trouble, you will be rewarded handsomely.

Unfortunately, one of them is holistic health. Instead of listening to authoritative people, you should listen to your body for holistic health. You must have a spiritual core and a connection to nature. You must take charge of your own life.

Snake-Oil Vendors

There are too many snake oil salesmen in the natural health goods sector, as I wrote in my essay, "The Natural Health Items Hustle." They make deceptive claims and sell dubious products. This gives anyone who has a natural propensity to be dubious about natural healing all the justification they need to be unfriendly.

Godlessness

Some folks simply refuse to believe it. Some people do not believe in the importance of respecting nature, their bodies, or experiencing the interconnectedness of all things. Unbelievers like these will find it difficult to suspend their negativity and disbelief in holistic healing, and hence may never fully benefit from it.

The Ant-Christ Attribute

Some people do have faith. The Gods of Science and Industry are what they choose to believe in. They believe in environmental rape and pillaging, factory farming, genetically modified foods, pesticides, and chemical fertilizers. Their religious beliefs force them to see all natural phenomena as heresy.

Stubbornness

Some people are too stubborn to admit when they've made a mistake or are on the wrong side of an issue, as George Bush was with his Iraq War and Napoleon was with his Russian Campaign. It was and continues to be a mistake to abandon natural medicine in favor of synthetic industrial medicine. High-tech equipment and synthetic medications have a place in healing. Those solutions, in my opinion, should only be used in emergency cases or when natural therapy has failed. It's just that they've got everything backwards. Natural medicine is the true medicine, and allopathic medicine should be considered as "Alternative Medicine" and with the same level of skepticism as natural medicine in the mainstream.

Fear

Some people are terrified by the natural world. They are terrified of everything that has not been domesticated by man. They are scared of anything that isn't slickly packaged, sterile, and dead. They are also concerned if it does not have the government's or scientific community's seal of approval. They are powerless because of their fear.

Do Factory Workers Require Factory Medicine?

If you've lost your uniqueness and turned into a mass-produced factory person who eats mass-produced factory food and thinks like a mass-produced factory, then perhaps only mass-produced factory medicine will speak to you. Maybe it's pointless to try to persuade you to eat organic or heal yourself holistically. Perhaps you've turned into a Darwinian nightmare that can only exist on synthetic delights.
