how to cure anything

People come to me all the time asking the same general question.  Doctor Schierling.  Have you got anything natural for my high blood pressure?  What sort of natural supplement do you have that will let me loose about 70 pounds?  What about my heart problems —- anything natural for them?  Can you cure my digestive problems naturally?   What sort of natural treatment can you do for my hormones, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Fibro, Blood Sugar, Autoimmune Disease, or (________ insert your disease du jour here)?     

But read between the lines.  What is the question that most folks are really asking?  “Hey Doc, What have you got that will take care of my health problems, help me drop about 70 pounds, keep me active in the bedroom, but allow me to keep the same self destructive habits I have had my whole life?   I mean gosh darn it doc, it’s my parents fault!  I’m just one of the unlucky ones who has bad genes.”  Blaming others is easy.  It’s something we all do well — especially that GENETIC THING.  No one likes to admit that their health problems just might be their own fault.  After all; health is no longer our responsibility —- it’s what our doctors and government do for us. 

Doc, I have symptom “A”, so give me drug / supplement “B”.  I have a cold so give me an ANTIBIOTIC.  I have a pain, please prescribe me some PAIN MEDS.  It’s the easy way out.  It is the promise modern medicine has been making for decades.   Doctors are just doing what Ray Davies and The Kinks sang about back in the early 80’s —– they’re giving the people what they want.  After all; it doesn’t really require any effort from patients.  Just like putting a tithe in the offering plate is easier than getting down to the hard work of spreading the gospel person by person by person, it’s just plain easier to pay someone else to take care of our health.  That’s America today.  It’s not my fault doc.  It’s not my responsibility doc.  Do it for me.  And by golly, make sure it’s easy!   Oh no, no, no doc —- I hate vegetables.  Are you crazy doc, I could never give up my DIET SODAS — I just don’t like the taste of water.  You have to understand; I’m just way too tired to move when I come home from work.  I used to really like you doc when all you did was “pop” my back, but now you’re stepping on toes.

Doctor’s appointments, EXAMINATIONS, diagnostic testing, SCANS, procedures, drugs, more drugs, and still more drugs.  And then we start down a bit rougher path — only now it’s not just drugs; it’s surgeries.  People think that if they can just keep that MEDICAL MERRY GO ROUND spinning long enough, maybe one of their many doctors will finally figure out what’s wrong.  It’s comforting to believe that someone else can do it for us.  But the problem is, far too often; they can’t.   If you really search your souls, most of you will have to admit that far too many of the promises of modern medicine are hollow —- like a tree that looks good on the outside but is rotten in the middle.

So; what do you do?  Almost every single patient reading this, no matter what sort of health condition you are dealing with, could benefit from THIS basic get-back-to-health protocol.
