Why Alternative Medicine


By S. Gross

According to many surveys, millions of people are turning to alternative medicine for relief from their problems. But why? Billions of dollars have been spent on research into allopathic (regular) medicine.


And there have been many discoveries and cures for countless diseases, and cures continue to be discovered, so what is missing?

I think the answer lies, in the approach to finding a cure.

Allopathic medicine, seeks to either destroy the disease, get rid of the symptoms, or strengthen the organ in some manner. While the approach of many Alternative Medicines is, to deal with the life-force of the body, sometimes referred to as the immune system.

When a person is viewed from this perspective, their many problems will be seen as emanating from one cause, being a breakdown of the energy system. This weakness then allows different diseases to attack the body, and causes many problems.

If one takes the approach of allopathic medicine, then although the symptoms will hopefully eventually go away, yet the underling cause of the symptoms will still remain.

A sign of this breakdown is when one gets a cold, and instead of lasting two days it lasts two weeks. Then when one finally gets rid of the cold then they get a virus, which also takes many days to get rid of. Then they get streph throat, etc.


Everything eventually gets better but the person keeps getting sick and constantly feels run down.

This is why people are taking alternative approaches.

In our generation the body is under relentless attack. We eat food with innumerable ingredients, for taste and color. There are preservatives and emulsifiers, etc. It is full of sugar, salt, and flavorings.


We lead extremely stressful lives. The air is polluted. There are all kinds of radiation in the air, including TV, radio, cell phones, etc.

Although many people are strong enough not to be effected by all this, many are not. Especially sensitive, intuitive people who are more susceptible.

A lack of energy is one of the most common complaints, yet doctors will tell such a patient that this is too general of a symptom, and just take vitamins or something. Whereas from my viewpoint of Alternative Medicine, this is the main symptom that reflects that the vital force has weakened.

This is why there are so many complaints, because the source of the problem is not being addressed. The symptom may go away, but the person still feels out of sorts, weak, or worse.

You have probably heard about a person who was fairly young and seemingly healthy, but suddenly passes away for no reason. As a matter of fact, he may have just been to the doctor for a test and the doctor said he was fine. What went wrong?


Many times the answer is that this person’s organs were strong as testified to by the doctor, but on a deeper level his energy system was a walking disaster. His energy source was so weak that it was like thin ice, a little strain and it breaks through and he is no longer here.

An analogy would of a beautiful chandelier, made of strong brass and crystal; but even though the chandelier is brand new and working well, all of the sudden there is a black out and the chandeliers bright lights go out. But why did it happen if the chandelier was “healthy”?


Because somewhere in Niagara Falls the main power plant blew a fuse and the whole power plant stopped working. The light was fine, but the main generator broke down.

Through the right type of Alternative Medicine, a person’s power plant can be built up and run efficiently, for many years to come.

This type of approach is even beneficial for seemingly healthy people, because every person has a weak point in their makeup. And after years of stress, sickness, or age, eventually this weak point will be broken through.

In order to prevent this it must be strengthened, and then the weak point will become converted into a strong point.
