For most sicknesses no Medicines are needed. Our bodies have their own defenses or ways to resist and fight disease. In most cases, these Natural defenses are far more important to our health than are Medicines.

To help the body fight off or overcome a sickness, often all that is needed is to:

• Keep clean
• Get plenty of rest
• Eat well and drink lots liquid

 

Even a case of more serious illness, when a medicine may be needed, it is the body that must overcome the disease; the medicine only helps. Cleanliness, rest, and nutritious foods are still very important.

Much of the art of health care does not-and should not-depend on use of medications. Even if you live in an area where there are no mordern Medicines, there's a great deal you can do to prevent and treat most common sicknesses-if you learn how.

How To Prevented Many Sicknesses With Or Without Medicines

If people simply learned how to use water correctly, this alone might do more to prevent and cure illness than all the medicines they now use......and misuse.

HEALING WITH WATER

Most of us could live without Medicines. But no one can live without water. In fact, over half (57%) of the human body is water. If everyone living in farms and villages made the best use of water, the amount of sickness and death--especially of children--could probably be cut in half.

For example, correct use of water is basic both in the prevention and treatment of diarrhea. In many areas, diarrhea is the most common cause of sickness and death in small children. Contaminated (unclean) water is the often part of the cause. (Read more: 4 SIGNS YOU ARE NOT DRINKING ENOUGH WATER)

To boil water in a pot, even for one minute, will kill the germs that cause diarrhea and make the water safe. Babies should always be breast-fed, but if a cup and spoon have to be used for additional feeds, the utensils should also be boiled in water. Try to avoid bottles and that's all together because it is never easy to keep them clean and safe enough for a baby, even with regular boiling. Washing ones hand with soap and water after a bowel movement and before eating or handling foods is just as important.

 

If gas is short, use the sun! A days supply of drinking water may be put in clear glass or plastic bottles, or plastic bags securely closed, and placed in the sun for several hours. The ultra-voilet Ray's in the sunlight will purify it even without boiling.

Overnight the containers can be cooled, and the water used for drinking next day.
