All Medicine is Alternative Medicine – Some Approaches Are Just More Dangerous Than Others
If you have been living in America over the past 40-years, you have seen an interesting thing happen with medicine – it’s not about healing patients anymore. Medicine in the U.S. is completely a profit-driven affair with Insurance Companies, Pharmaceutical Companies, and Medical Establishments cutting the pie up in three-big slices – and you and I don’t get any! Unless you grew up in a rather enlightened environment, you -like me – have probably always thought that there is only one kind of “Real” medicine and everything else is simply some sort of sham that couldn’t really work because it’s just not scientific enough. Well, “modern” medicine is not all it’s cracked up to be – with high prices, dangerous and unpleasant side-effects, and marginal success. You have always had a number of alternatives for healing; and Western, corporate, pharmaceutical, allopathic, conventional medicine is only one of those alternatives – perhaps the least effective and most dangerous alternative of all.
The American Medical Association (AMA) is an association for doctors – not for the welfare of all the patients in the world. You might think that sounds crazy; but consider this and you’ll see what I mean. The AMA fights for practice protection laws – laws which protect the medical community from competition. These laws, though they seem to be aimed at protecting the patient from “sub-standard” medical care, are simply to protect the revenue stream that flows through doctors’ offices, drug stores, and insurance claims desks. Whenever someone comes up with a cancer cure that doesn’t involve the horrific methods used by Western medicine – poisoning and radiation burns as a do-or-die form of placebo – then they are pursued and prosecuted for practicing medicine without a license. There is never any investigation into the method or cure that the AMA found so problematic and dangerous. Some of these cures are ancient; and many of them are highly effective – much more effective at restoring health than Western methods. But it doesn’t matter that Western medicine is more dangerous and less effective than any form of healthcare ever practiced; it only matters who gets paid for treating you and your illness. It doesn’t even matter if you survive or not – as long as the bills are paid.

Types of Hemorrhoid Medicine & How Each Type Works
If you’ve tried many types of hemorrhoid medicine, then you probably understand the differences of how each is used. In this article, I’ll go over what each of them do for the body and how they intend to treat hemorrhoids or piles.
The first popular type is creams and ointments where a topical treatment is rubbed on your outer rectal area and aims to soothe blood vessels. This creates a relaxation of the tissue so that it does not bulge out so much. Once the tissue does not bulge, the hemorrhoid will be less likely to flare up. This is great for some relief in the temporal matter.

The Art of Medicine
Herodotus, the ancient Greek historian, tells the story of how the Babylonians in 500 B.C. diagnosed and treated their illnesses. The Babylonians did not have physicians. When they became ill, they went to the city square where they would tell anyone who came to the square about their symptoms. Their fellow citizen would then explain that they once had similar symptoms or that they knew someone who had similar symptoms. They would then offer advice about the remedy that they used to cure the illness. There were wild tales of miracle cures. Herodotus does not comment on how effective the treatments were, but the Babylonians believed in them and used the system for many years.
Modern-day medicine is based on scientific method which was developed in the eighteenth century during the Age of Reason. This method relies on the principle of proposing a hypothesis of how something works and then testing that hypothesis. Medicine is classified as a science because it is based on scientific principles, but medicine is as much an art as it is a science. One of my medical school professors taught me that the most effective way to learn medicine is to go from the textbook to the bedside and back to the textbook. In other words, the student physician should learn the basic science of medicine and then go to the patient with this textbook knowledge and then return to the textbook to learn more about the patient’s diagnosis and treatment. Physicians do not just plug in a list of symptoms into an algorithm and come up with a diagnosis. They use their knowledge and experience to create the art of medicine.
