Home Remedies –Do They Really Work?
There’s a huge debate that has been going on for the last 150 years or so that has increased with the advent of modern science and its contributions to the medical field. The debate is whether or not home and natural remedies work. On one side, many pharmaceutical companies and their supporters claim that home remedies are simply scams, while on the other side, people who have actually used the remedies claim that they work and that it’s the pharmaceutical companies themselves who are scamming the public. However, these lines are not as clear cut as it may seem at first. In fact, there are numerous scientists and independent and objective lab research that has shown that certain home remedies work. Of course not all home remedies work, but that doesn’t mean that all of them are bogus either.
One of the most widely verified home remedies is noni juice. In one study, conducted by the American Heart Association (AHA), noni juice significantly lowered cholesterol and triglycerides. The University of Hawaii conducted their own noni juice study on mice with cancer. The overwhelming result was that the mice treated with noni lived almost 5 times longer than those who didn’t have the noni treatment. In fact, clinical studies have shown that noni juice acts as an immune boosting agent, a tumor reducer, has strong anti-inflammatory properties, and acts as a powerful antioxidant.
Another well researched home remedy is St John’s Wort, which in clinical study after clinical study has been found to reduce depression in as much as 90% of the patients that take it. St John’s Wort is probably the exception to the norm in terms of the public perception, since virtually every independent study on the herb has found it quite effective at treating depression. Now the question arises in my mind, how can people dismiss all home remedies with such shining examples? Doesn’t each remedy deserve to be tested on its own accord by independent researchers?
So we’ve seen two examples of home remedies that have been scientifically proven time and time again to work effectively, and honestly there are many more. The problem is that these remedies and the people that promote them are not rich, and don’t have the finances to spread the word about these amazing cures. The pharmaceutical companies on the other hand have billions of dollars and a vested interest in you continuing to use their proprietary pills with their nasty side effects. Just remember, there are home remedies out there that science has proven works, so don’t discount them next time you get ill. They may save your life.
