Rule #7 in Dr. Ritchason’s Golden Rules of Health
Filed Under Herbalist |
“You must take responsibility for yourself and your health.” That is the 7th Golden Rule of Health. North Americans are pretty good at this rule. I’m 57 years old; when I was growing up, doctors made house calls and people didn’t have access to medical information, except through their physicians. This has changed with technology and the internet, and I think we have become more cynical – we don’t simply accept what we are told. Although doctors have their place, it is critical to take responsibility for your own health and the health of your family; you cannot leave it entirely up to others. I’m at the age where my friends are starting to have serious health issues, cancer etc. I notice that the ones who do the best are the ones who actively seek out different opinions, medical studies, and natural alternatives. Having been very sick, I can say that that’s what I did, and it made all the difference!
