| Outlook |
Proactive - helps you to feel healthier and
look better, slows the effects of aging, and helps prevent diseases from
developing in the first place. |
Reactive - helps you get better once you
are sick. |
| Approach |
Treats the cause of ailment to ensure
optimal long-term health. |
Treats the symptoms of ailment rather than
the cause. |
| Methodology |
Relies on herbs, diet and nutrition,
exercise, lifestyle changes, and mental and spiritual training for
treatment. |
Relies on drugs and surgery for treatment.
|
| Efficacy |
Each Ayurvedic
herb contains naturally occurring Phytonutrients which have many
positive antioxidant and immune system effects. Ayurveda relies on
herbal extracts (concentrated botanical compounds) which are especially
rich in Phytonutrients that work synergistically on the body
to promote natural healing and optimal health
long-term. Typical Ayurvedic remedies contain hundreds of
Phytonutrients. What nature has provided cannot be replicated in
laboratories. |
Western drugs
are produced synthetically with chemicals at pharmaceutical plants.
The active constituents of drugs are designed to target specific disease
symptoms. While they work well to alleviate symptoms, the potent
chemicals introduced into the body create imbalances and have negative
impact in other ways which leads to the need for other drugs to
counteract damage caused by the initial drugs. This cycle of
chemical dependency can lead to significant health
deterioration. Also once medication is stopped, symptoms
will return until the underlying cause of disease is addressed.
|
| Safety |
Herbal
supplements taken with proper nutrition give your body the encouragement
it needs to heal itself. The cures
take longer, but in the end your body heals itself without side effects.
It also becomes stronger and better able to resist disease
in the future. |
Whether the
doctor is using a drug or a knife, the goal of Western medicine is to
remove what's wrong quickly, either by killing invading microbes or
removing parts of your body that are diseased. Drugs by their
nature are controlled poisons. That's why they can only be
obtained with a doctor's prescription, on the assumption that a doctor's
training and careful evaluation of your condition will produce the best
possible results with minimal side-effects.
An amazing array of drugs have more side effects than the illnesses or
problems they were designed to address. |
| Cost |
Since Ayurvedic
Medicine is made from naturally occurring botanicals and supported by
5,000 years of clinical experience, it offers tremendous long-term
benefits with no side effects at a fraction of the
cost of pharmaceuticals. An investment of $40 per month
will provide you good long-term health by minimizing risk of major
diseases. You will feel better and better over time. |
The cost for
Western Medicine is exorbitant and rising annually. The cost of drugs
in the United States is so high that patients cannot afford to fill approximately
22 percent of the prescriptions written each year. Prescription
drugs now represent the single largest monthly
expense for most Americans over 65 - approximately $300 per
month. This expenditure does not buy good long-term health.
The longer you are on medication, the more unnatural you feel. |
