How they got power the Alternative ones!

My medical formation was always guided by the allopathy, the researched medicines and the proven effects by national and international laboratories.
I had never interested me for medicinal herbs, for natural medicines and nor either for alternative treatments or complementals.

During one of my American seasons of studies a Colombian friend, my neighbor for 10 years in Brazil and who was living again in the United States spoke to me on those different roads for cures and preventions of diseases.In this epoch I was immediate in the answer: - I think those methodologies is the most complete enrolação.
I don't believe in them. I was never interested in any form of medical treatment that is not used by the alopatic medicine."
She insisted.
She didn't accepted my negative without show me before what was happening with patients treated, in big American medical centers.
This friend ended by convincing me. After all, know about those resources that were presenting surprising results, so much in Brazil as in North America, they would only increase my knowledge.But, I admit i didn't leave very confident.
Just curious.
This friend's first initiative was to introduced to me to a geneticist doctor , Wilfredo Manõn, a doctor borned in Santo Domingo, in América Central, with master's degree in Italy and who was working in New Jersey, in the United States.
The first part of my observation was to accompanying consultations, prescribed medicines and the behavior of the clientele assisted by him. He gave me several books to read.
I began to notice that i needed to learn a lot of alternatives and complemental treatments.
I was surprised with what i was seeing. I could not have more doubts; the patients' reaction of Dr. Manõn was the proof that i needed to convince me that something would change my medical certainties acquired until then.
I didn't let to want to know, more and more.
I participated in countless courses and promoted Congress and presided by him and for other doctors that adopted the same clinical line.
A few time later i could already verify that the traditional medicine was showing extremely aggressive for a lot of people and that, really, as a doctor, i needed to know yet about my patients' organic behavior before throwing hand of medicines that were able to, yes, cure a certain evil, but, at the same time to motivate or accelerate the emergence of other diseases.
I began there to take dimension of the calls side effects and their serious consequences.Starting from the deepness of my studies and researches about the body and the medicines arrived to the Holistic Medicine - I wanted to know how to treat the pacient as completely.
The whole treatment that, obligatorily, i would have to include the patient and his life home, in the work, in the leisure, in the affectionate life.
I needed to focus the cure of the disease and not to soften the symptom doing with that get disguised or even disappeared.
I didn't get no more seeing my patients without being under that new one look.
No that i had abandoned the alopatic medicine , in a way some.
I allied both: the alopatic and the alternative or complemental.I started to appeal to the alopatics medicines with more ceremony and the cares were and are very larger.
The new knowledge made me notice how efficient they can be, but they also showed me that we needed to respect them as saviors, yes, but that can worsen the health condition of any patient if they don't be well administered and dosed.
My consultations were reformulated.
I included a stretcher, in my clinic. In it I began to do a relaxation, an introspection in my patients.
Let them more calm, it started to be a routine in my work.I remember well that in 1993, when i spoke about medicinal herbs to the patients, with medical friends, many of them looked at me as if I was a witch speaking about magic potions done with toad eye and lizard leg.
In the beginning it was not easy.
It is really complicated for a patient arrive in a medical clinic and listen that he or she should take medicines done with herbs that he or she was accustomed to take in childhood, inside Brazil or then prescriptions written by a curious person of so many dispersed free markets for that country.
It was arduous the convincing process. But, today, I am not sorry.I have hundreds of surprising verifications.
They are exciting cures that never again allowed me to abandon the allopathy-alternative-complemental alliance.

My clinic started to be a medial office and the patients' reaction motivated me always to each satisfactory result. The speed of the progresses of the studies about alternative medicine in the United States took me to several trips, for several American states, always in search of improvements, of new methods and of different medicamentosas combinations.In 1999 the first reference book for herbs was published in the United States - the PDR for Herbal Remedies.
I recognized the importance of observing the longevity, the anti aging techniques,no as an aesthetic concern, but in the prevention of diseases that the age or the disinformation is bringing fewer until our bodies.In 1995 I returned to the University, this time in Brazil.
I went to do post graduation in Geriatrics and Gerontology in the Fluminense Federal University, Hospital Antônio Pedro.
They were not few the times that I had to answer that i was not stop being an Endocrinologist, but that i wanted to increase my knowledge in an area where, i believed, would only make increase more certainties to my conclusions in the hour of arriving to the diagnoses.
I finished the post graduation and my enthusiasm for the new knowledge was such big that i was the first place in the selection exam.I was feeling more stimulated than never.
I had found a new road for my work.
The reward could already be proven, for me and for the laboratories of clinical exams, in the results presented by my patients.
It was there, one of the most important impulses of my professional life. Where i found the base and the alicerce that i needed to go deepen even more in my studies and researches
Today, I don't have doubts.
All of the knowledge and progresses, as technological as scientific of medicine, they are always to our favor, since we know, exactly, what organisms will receive them and how they will react before chemistries or natural drugs.Don't never forget that treatments and medicines, understand the doctors.
For that they studied, they research and they are them who can make the correct evaluation that you can, must and how to take. Of what your body can receive.
Even if are medicines called naturals, it is necessary very carefull. Of course are naturals, but before anything else, have performance in your organism, are medicines, with all the own pros and contra of all drugs, being them chemistries or not.
Remember forever that your body doesn't have the same reaction of another body obligatorily, even if is the same of your mother, or your father, or sister.

Take care of him, like you and him deserve.
Don't abuse him.
Don't provoke him.
He is much more sensitive than you can imagine.
Don't play with him.
Your body can disobey and can answer very bravely.
