What a surprise when he tested level of sugar to discover that it had drastically dropped! After a few weeks, he stopped using insulin altogether. This was well over a year ago and to this day he has not resumed insulin therapy. His blood sugar is back to normal and he now uses natural treatment only for maintenance.

I am not saying this to suggest that you will have same results, or to suggest that you rush out and buy these items. This is only to support my confidence in natural remedies. If you have diabetes, you are well advised to consult your doctor.

Very often a simple massage is answer to a problem. I personally have not had a headache for many years. There was a time when I was headache-prone, and got into habit of using synthetic medicines to ease pain, but after I decided to try natural treatments and medicines, I changed my diet from eating 'junk' foods and tried to stop using those synthetic headache remedies.

I started to massage my head and shoulders whenever a headache came on. Then to my delight, I realised that headaches were few and far apart. Now they are virtually no more a part of my life.

Whenever I sense feeling that a headache is imminent (which is exceedingly rare), I just give myself a quick head and shoulder massage and I am OK again. No more headache remedies for me, like 'Oh-so-famous' ones that are so often advertised.

I have helped many, many persons to be rid of a headache by just simply giving them a massage as mentioned above. Many had headaches lingering for days, and after about 20 minutes of massage, they miraculously stopped.

Every person should find time to learn about natural treatments that could be taken to protect his/her own body and prevent or cure diseases. I do, do you? I have studied and read about hundreds of cures by natural means, and have experienced some myself.

Think of many thousands of persons who might have been alive today if only they had known, and had been encouraged, to use certain natural remedies to be healed.

It is not intention of this article to condemn use of conventional medicine which plays a wonderful role in case of surgery and other traumatic conditions. There have been countless such cases where, without administration of conventional medicine, many persons would not have survived.

However, it is my hope that conventional medicine in field of drugs will one day give way to alternative medicine, and conventional medicine retain its place in field of surgery and other traumatic conditions where it cannot be ignored. Many persons have begun to take charge of their health and have wisely shifted their preference to alternative medicine with satisfactory results. It is likely that this trend will continue and alternative medicine will one day regain recognition it so rightfully deserves, as greater emphasis will be put on prevention of disease and maintenance of health by natural means.

A word of caution. If you have decided to try alternative medicine, be sure to get in touch with a qualified practitioner.
