Be active in your learning process as you begin to explore the realms of balanced health, and learn what you can do to safeguard yourself in today’s tumultuous world. As a consumer, it is important to know safe and comprehensive resources so that you can remain informed about how natural modalities interact with the body, what side effects exist, and any precautionary measures you should be aware of for a particular treatment.

Several resources already exist that inform the consumer of cautions and choices with household purchases, food products, and sustainability issues. The following sites are a bit of a motley crew, but adequately, in their own unique way, offer a compass to consumers who are becoming aware of health and the desire for decision-making based upon conscious purchasing power and political policy.

Moreover, you can learn crucial skills involving the preparation of herbal compounds, tinctures and teas, so that you have to rely less upon health practitioners over the long term and keep your health expenses low. Your knowledge will also help to alleviate the tremendous burden taxing our current health care system. It’s really just that easy! Thanks for taking the initiative and becoming curious about your health!

Resources for clinicians:
iCaduceus is a site dedicated to improving “the health of people throughout the world by offering highly-disseminated medical information and education that supports integrative and holistic clinicians in creating successful and satisfying practices.”

Physicians for Social Responsibility calls itself “the medical and public health voice for policies to stop nuclear war and proliferation and to slow, stop and reverse global warming and toxic degradation of the environment.” And this organization is certainly cleaning up a lot of the environmental debris, making sure that our current situation never gets out of hand again.
