"[Natural] medicine has a different effect on everyone," he says. "So, going by others, I had to test a variety of different supplements to see if my diseased kidneys could tolerate such unconventional substances. Luckily, it turned out to be a success."

However, you might still choose to take your daily health regimens in a rather old-fashioned direction. Instead of taking organic substances or making an appointment with a naturopathic health care provider, you may just decide to go on a regular diet.

Have you ever taken Tylenol, Bayer, or Motrin IB, and found out that neither drug improves you? Is the skyrocketing cost of filling prescription medications putting a hefty strain on your wallet? Do you think that just the thought of having major invasive surgery is too grotesque to begin with?

If you'd answered "yes" to these provocative health care questions, you might want to check out the non-invasive powers of naturopathic medicine. It dates as far back as ancient China and Greece.

And speaking of ancient China, their civilzation was primarily responsible for the "modern" development of acupuncture and acupressure. Acupuncture involves skin penetration with the use of thin, metallic needles manipulated by hand, whereas acupressure stimulates specific energy points on the body through a physician's fingertips or bare knuckles.

Dr. Christina Arvograsp, clinical director of the University of Bridgeport Naturopathic Medical Center in Bridgeport, CT, is well known for treating her patients with acupuncture and natural childbirth.

As far as her childbirth methodolgies are concerned, she knows just how important it is for expectant women to know what's best for their newborns. She said her pregnant patients spend less time in labor and have fewer complications from intensive pre- and post-natal care as a result.

"My family always tole me to manitain a strong, natural sense of well-being during your pregnancy so that you won't have to deal with postpartum depression after the fact," she points out.

Other popular modalities in this field are aromatherapy, physiotherapy, and orificial surgery, according to the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine. Aromatherapy allows patients to bathe in essential oils made from flowers, herbs, and trees. Physiotherapy, on the other hand, involves the massaging of the most painful muscles and bone densities. Orificial, or minor, surgery repairs warts, cysts, and larger superficial wounds with both local and general anesthesia.

Not all natural therapies benefit those who go for such treatment. However, you don't have to make an appointment with your primary naturopathic phyisican to reach your goals for optimal health.

A college friend of mine once had kidney failure a few years back and has since bought Vitamins B, C, and E from a natural foods store to treat his disease. He admitted that his overall approach to natural medicine does work, despite feeling some skeptism at first.

Eating fruits and vegetables daily may not entirely destroy any illnesses you may have. But a 2004 study conducted by the National Institutes of Health proves that eating foods low in saturated fat and calorie content can greatly minimize the symptoms of a chronic medical condition that can further develop over time.

No matter what natural modality you choose to discover for yourself, always remembrer that treating yourself naturally as opposed to more conventionally can have a profound effect on how your body functions altogether.
