Throw the bottles and boxes
of drugs out of your house. A new theory suggests that medicine could be bad
for your health, which should at least come as good news to people who cannot
afford to buy expensive medicine. This new theory argues that healing is at our
fingertips: we can be healthy by doing Yoga on a regular basis.
Supporters of medical
treatment argue that medicine should be trusted since it is effective and scientifically
proven. They say that there is no need for spiritual methods such as Yoga.
These waste our time, something which is quite precious in our material world.
There is medicine that can kill our pain, x-rays that show us our bones or MRI
that scans our brain for tumors.
We must admit that these
methods are very effective in the examples that they provide. However, there
are some “everyday complaints” such as back pains, headaches, insomnia, which
are treated currently with medicine. When you have a headache, you take an
Aspirin; when you cannot sleep, you take Xanax without thinking of the side
effects of these. When you use these pills for a long period, you become
addicted to them; you cannot sleep without them. We pay huge amounts of money
and become addicted instead of getting better. How about a safer and more
economical way of healing? When doing Yoga, you do not need anything except
your energy so it is very economical. Its popularity has spread particularly
throughout America and Western Europe. In quantum (量子)
physics, energy is recognized as the fundamental substance which the universe
consists of. Yoga depends on the energy within our bodies. It is a simple and
effective way of restoring the energy flow. There are no side effects and it is
scientifically explained.
Opponents of alternative
healing methods also claim that serious illnesses such as HIV/AIDS and cancer
cannot be treated without drugs. They think so because these patients spend the
rest of their lives in the hospital taking medicine. How can Yoga make these
people healthy again? It is very unfortunate that these patients have to live
in the hospital losing their hair because of chemotherapy (化疗),
losing weight because of the side effects of the medicine they take. Actually,
it is common knowledge that except for when the cancer is recognized at an
early stage, drugs also cannot treat AIDS or cancer. Most of the medicines
these patients use are to ease their pain and their sufferings. Instead of
drugs which are expensive and have many side effects, you can use your energy
to overcome the hardships of life, find an emotional balance, leave the stress
of everyday life and let go of the everyday worries. We should definitely start
learning Yoga and avoid illnesses before it is too late.
