Health Is Vital

Health is taken for granted, until you can't any more. In this blog I hope to put down on paper some of the articles I come across and want to remember, about health. I will be personalizing these articles to apply to me. I am diabetic, over weight, have high blood pressure and tinnitus, so these are the things you will find here. I will include nutrition, exercise, and holistic health, and many other ideas. I work in the health profession, particularly mental health, and have an interest in suicide prevention; so these topics will also be covered in this blog. Please, if you are suffering reach out.

Documentary Review: Native American Healing in the 21st Century

 What is the place of Indian medicine today.  I know when I lived on the reservation, Indian Doctors were very much sought at and people would sometimes travel great distance to see and Indian Doctor.  there is something to be said for spiritual health helping with overall health.  I watched this documentary a few years ago.

Native American Healing in the 21st Century.  The movie presents Native American medicine as part of holistic health.  They also talk about other forms of alternative medicine.  Much of the medicine is based on herbal medicines; but it is combined with prayer and spiritual preparation.  A combination of health treatments (General medical and medicine an) is likely to be the most successful.  The Great Spirit and oneness with the earth and the spirit are important to treating people in a holistic way.  The presentation compares Native remedies with Eastern medicine.  And the importance of keeping energies in balance. 
A basic philosophy behind their remedies is gratitude for the Creator.  This combined with and absence of bias and prejudice will lead to peace, which is perfect healing. 
This movie presents a lot of practical advise, which herb or plant treats which illness.  Common natural band-aids and cures harvested from plants.
