Someone stated on another thread and I can't remember who without returning to the thread, that menopause ins't natural.
There is nothing 'natural' about menopause, Connolly ........ how isn't menopause natural
Birth; death; periods; menopause; heart attacks; stroke; appendicitis; lumbar pain; alopecia - all natural. Everything that happens to the body in it's 'raw' state is natural. We might not like it but it's how we are designed, even to the point of being meat eaters with fruits and veg. thrown in when available. Probably hairy initially too
to keep warm.
Even some food stuffs might be natural from the Cave-man time, then someone put meat on to the fire ....... and it was decided that instead of being nomadic they would build fences and make fields in which to grow crops. All natural. Supposed progress? Until someone invented pesticides, anti-biotic therapy, pain relief, anaesthetic .......... razor blades, tooth brushes .......... then the human bean made choices
.
I like that in the UK we have on the whole a health service that can provide advice, even if that comes at a cost; either that the NHS won't support what is suggested or that the patient can't tolerate the medication. I hate the thought that however natural pain might be, in some parts of the World pain relieve isn't available
.
Most of the plants that we grow in our gardens are made by humans, initially taken from wild plants World wide and adapted to suit needs either as food stuffs [F1] or as herbs for healing. Synthesis [sp] came along ......... which may benefit some, not others.
