Is www.alternativehealth.co.nz Safe?

I have not read this sites info. in full - but one can not always ensure that the 'standard western medicine'/allopathic procedures and practices are appropriate for every form of disease profile, or chronic or acute condition. I have heard and experienced - albeit second-hand from friends, family and acquaintances who have taken their own health into their own hands, have had positive results in either 'healing/curing their health issue, or at the very least managing it to lessen its impact. Even some scientists and doctors have opted for 'alternative/complimentary' remedies and practices - including a profound change in their mindsets, lifestyles and in many cases, their diets. So yes I can understand your scepticism - but more and more people are realising that the ' western medical model' of medicine and invasive surgical procedures - are not the 'only way to go'. I myself have had a recent colorectal cancer operation and I am aware by the very need for such an operation that the 'only way to go', is down the 'preventative model' route of a change of mindset, more regular physical exertion and exercise , and of course a positive change in my diet and lifestyle. I recently watched a clip of a young man from the US of course, on YouTube, who like me had had a colorectal cancer operation - but he had his in his mid/late 20s - and, as he rightly pointed out - this form of cancer/operation normally happens to people in their mid/late 40s/50s/60s. He decided like me - maybe not for the same reasons - to forego chemotherapy - because like me and the doctor who spoke to me - she believed that the 'cell spread' that was evident - was yet too small to warrant 'poisoning the system' - the doctor agreed with me that at this point undergoing chemo would not only be 'a sledge hammer that cracked the nut, but also the plate that the nut sits on - and the table underneath'! This young man - now in his mid/late 30s, had decided - with support from his faith and an unexpected delivery of a book about eating a high 'plant based diet' - that he would forego chemo - obviously his doctors were not happy - but he assured them that he would take full responsibility for any outcome - good or not so good....... After changing his diet to a 100% plant based diet - and cutting out coffee, 'black' tea, and the processed foods of the increasingly discredited 'standard American diet' - he has been 'cancer free' for over ten years! Not bad, huh? So please recognise that with an increasingly 'ageing population' - allegedly - there needs to be serious consideration given, and changes in industrial and government policy, towards a more "preventative model of health", 'alternative/complimentary' medicine, and dietary and lifestyles practices and theories, will have to leave what is now seen as the 'fringe/quack' areas of medical practice to become more 'mainstream'. Yet again it will be down to proper and proven precise information being correctly disseminated by the media - to reach a more 'mainstream audience' - maybe it would need to be 'woven' into TV soap operas plots/stories, such as EastEnders, Hollyoaks, Emmmerdale, Coronation Street', and so forth - as well as weaving it into 'contrived reality' shows like 'Big Brother', 'TOWIE (The Only Way Is Essex)', and 'Made In Chelsea'; as well as having 'famous/popular' pop and sports stars and so forth, subtly weave it into their songs, videos, and interviews, such as 'how come you're looking so good/relaxed/calmed/chilled out, Beyonce/Wayne Rooney/'White' Dee(!)'...... So please give sites like this a chance - and people should be mature enough to do their own on and offline research, to ascertain what is best for their individual lives.

They try to recommend homeopathic remedies - which is sugar water with no active ingredient - to cancer patients, which is potentially dangerous, as cancer sufferers may reject cancer medication, and there do exist cases where cancer patients have died because of this. See: *****
