NATURAL HEALTH CARE |
Warnings Is Natural always safe ? No, natural is not always safe, nor is it always beneficial or positive or good. No matter how you put it, the result is the same. If you still think that because it is natural it is safe, then you have to turn back to the beginning of this chapter. You must have missed some of our concepts. Take a mushroom like the amanite phalloide for instance. It's totally natural, no doubt about it. But all those who have made a lunch out of it ended their journey on this planet. Take a clay mineral like asbestos as another example. It's totally natural too, but dreadful consequences if you are inhaling it or eating it. And many other examples exist. As a matter of facts, all known poisons are natural. And poisons are a necessity. They are the negative to the balance, and in order to be in balance, you definitely need the positive and the negative. It is therefore important to consider natural products for what they are and not for what they represent. A concept of highest importance in natural health care is the question of dosage. Nothing is toxic and everything is toxic. This means that within a certain dosage, a product may be beneficial, whereas above that level, it becomes detrimental. A good example is arsenic. Arsenic is a powerful poison, it is also a natural drug that is administered at precise dosage to certain patients.
