Health & Wellness Through Botanicals

I read an article this morning in the newspaper about a guy who was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. His name is Tim and he lives in my current town of Carlsbad, CA. The Dr. doing what he knows best prescribed Tim some medication to make him feel better and return back to work, as the MS was causing him blindness and tremors. The worst part of the article was how Tim's wife's health insurance was refusing to pay for his prescription drugs, which were now costing him $7,000 per month. There is no other form of treatment for this type of MS, in Western Medicine which is now causing Tim huge financial hardship. All I can say is don't become a victim of Western Healthcare and this should never happen. Unfortunately, for most of us we are taught to put our health in the care of Dr's who push drugs and surgery to create wellness in our lives. Through my years of experience in health and wellness and having been a victim of The US Healthcare System how would one avoid such a catastrophy? Here are only my suggestions, but I believe them to be absolutely critical to avoid such a major problem.

* Exercise for 30 Minutes Per day (walking, jogging, gym, etc..)
* Pay attention to your diet (avoid gluten, preservatives, and processed foods as much as possible)
* See The Chiropractor (Weekly, or Monthly for regular adjustments)
* Yoga (Try and participate 1 time per week, great for organs, stress, and existing ailments)
* Botanicals (Find One Botanical that has proven to help people with your ailment, this could be acai berry, mangosteen, almalaki, etc..)

Regarding botanicals, be agreessive, and give them time to work. If you try one for 30 - 60 days and don't get any results move onto another one. What may work for one person may not work for another. Most importantly just get radical about your health and don't just shove drugs into your mouth because the Dr. says so.
