So here's my question, how do you vet the natural cures and the people suggesting them. There are a million things out there and people pushing them that are totally fake and cure nothing but over crowding of your wallet. Some of the stuff out there can be dangerous. I'm not against natural cures but am hesitant to trust many of them. I have never had a serious reaction to a drug but know people who have. I take HBP medication and it's under control without any inside effects that I have noticed. On the other hand my doc wanted me on a statin because my cholesterol was a bit high from 1 year to the next. I chose to do some lifestyle changes and that worked but it's hard to maintain especially as I get older. I'd like to get off the BP meds too even though I haven't had problems and they aren't expensive. Heart disease is very prevalent in my family.
Well, I have been in this field of study for 20 years. "Natural Cures" exist in nature, but 95% of stuff being peddled is garbage. I only know of one food brand in Health stores that hasn't been sold to Big AG, and that's Nature's Path.
Statins are wickedly ineffective, and they CAUSE Heart Disease... Medical experts agree though that the perfect Total Cholesterol for Adult Males is 200. Remember that a Pill pushing Doctor gets a kickback, he or she is a Drug Dealer.

The BEST method for Health by far in all my research is a Diet with little to no Sugar such as Paleo or Mediterranean, ZERO Seed Oils, ZERO fast food or processed food... Plenty of Olive Oil and Coconut Oil, the Rainbow of fresh Vegetables and plenty of Lean Meats... Everything Organic if possible. ZERO Drugs of course, which might take a Functional Medicine MD to get off them... Exercise of course...
Beef and Chicken are for Building / Maintaining Muscle, while Lamb and Turkey are for Detoxing. If you are doing a Detox program, you should eat a Pear before Bed, as it helps Move waste and is a Detox fruit.
There is Spices in your Kitchen right now that eviscerate the effectiveness of RX Drugs... You will find constant examples of that on the Green Med Info site I linked. The bottom line is we weren't put here to fail, everything we need is growing outside, but of course in this World, we can't just snag a Dandelion or Burdock Root and eat it, we have to get it Organically from trusted Sources.
I trust Frontier Organic for spices... Oh... "Almond Milk" is probably about 2% Almonds and the rest is Water and additives. Pure garbage... make your own, lots of Videos on Youtube...
