Traumatic Day - Part 1 The Background

In this 3 part series, I will be sharing my thoughts before the incident, the Traumatic Day and it's events, then what I am doing after to educate and help my daughter heal.

This last week was an opportunity for me to practice something that had been on my mind for quite some time.

In my line of work/thinking, there is a stereotype, and not such a positive one. It seems that if you are into alternative health, then you must hate the western medical world, and anyone involved with it. I get why that is, because a lot of people act that way. A majority of "naturalists" look down on those who use western medicine and create an attitude of self-righteousness. I know, I've been there. Mostly at the beginning of my education when I felt let down because no one told me there were options, and I was led to believe I had to depend on outside sources for my health.

But let me share a few things with you. 

I love doctors. They are amazing people who for the most part have the same desires I do - to help people be healthy and overcome things that might show up in their body. We are a  lot a like. In fact, I was going to be a nurse. In the course of time and my own health crisis, I was led down a different path. I've learned that I don't agree with all of the training and the systems in place for them. I wish they were able to be more free thinking in their profession, and a lot of them are doing it anyway!

Western Medicine failed me in my life. Was that their fault or mine? No ones actually, because of lack of proper education. What I was needing from them, was not what they excel at. What I was needing was to actually take care of my body. Feed it right. Western Medicine really thrives with emergency situations, not so much chronic (IMHO) If I had done better to take care of myself, and really known how to do it, then I wouldn't have been "failed" by them, because I wouldn't have needed them.

It comes down to there is a purpose. A purpose for everything. My goal is to help give people resources and education to empower them in taking care of their bodies right in the FIRST place. To keep a proper order and balance; feeding their body and how to do so, knowing how to take care of simple things at home, having confidence in ones self and abilities TO take care of themselves, to help people understand there are options, and options that better support the body than others. There is a time where a "doctor" is appropriate, and I help people understand what that time is - when the doctors will be of the biggest benefit to them.

Can everything be taken care of at home?

Yes, I do believe so. I know of many amazing experiences of people that came through things that you wouldn't believe! All by being at home and using food, herbs and other natural remedies. The real question is, does one know HOW to take care of everything at home? Some do - but not everyone. We are only as powerful as the knowledge and education we have - and using it is a big key too. If we are not educated or experienced with something, then we can't very well expect ourselves to deal with every situation. I do believe in inspiration, that goes two ways. Inspiration of what you can do to over come the situation - whether that is natural at home, or knowing it is time to seek assistance.

The bottom line is this - you are limited by what you do/don't know. Knowing when it is time to get assistance from the medical world is crucial. Sometimes it's what you need to get a jump start on whatever the issue is, and then you can educate yourself on what you can do alternatively. Slowly transitioning to a more natural method, if that is what you desire.
