Conventional, modern medicine handles acute illness and physical trauma brilliantly. But it doesn’t always cut it when it comes to prevention of chronic disease. Many people who are in constant pain, or who are suffering in other ways, become frustrated with the mainstream medical industry’s tendency to treat symptoms rather than addressing root causes. As a result, more and more people are turning to natural approaches in complement to the mainstream medical model. Here are six helpful resources to get you started with utilizing the power of natural medicine on your own health journey.

The Annals of Internal Medicine has published what many are calling the “red meat papers”, advising Americans that there’s no need to cut down on consumption of red and processed meats. But in reality, the red-meat papers are not a breakthrough study. In fact, they didn’t study anything at all. They merely re-examined the data using a tool that was designed for measuring the efficacy of pharmaceutical drugs, not lifestyle interventions. Then they declared that decades of research, regulations by international bodies, and common sense were wrong. If you want the facts, here’s what you need to know.

But the times, they are a-changin'! Find out how medicine is evolving — fast — and what you can do to accelerate the transformation.
