Alternative Medicine 1/ Conventional Medicine 0


I have read different posts defending the qualities of the Alternative medicine in this Blog and I completely agree with most of them since I strongly believe conventional medicine and drugs itself represent a potential problem to our heath. I’d like to expand the possibilities that have been presented by my classmates with a new discovery (at least for me) in the field of alternative medicine; I’m talking about Tibetan Mushrooms or Tibicos.
Dried Tibetan Mushrooms

According to the legend, it is believed that Mother Teresa of Calcutta spread these mushrooms around the world after obtained them from a group of Tibetan Monks; you are not supposed to sell them because the miracle of drinking the water comes from the "gift" of having them: once you have enough you should give a part of it to someone else.

The benefits of consuming Tibicos are infinite (including fighting against obesity, headaches, cholesterol, cancer, etc); for this reason, a friend tried to get them for such a long time. Finally he received some of them and now he has been drinking the product of their fermentation for a month. He drinks it every single day early in the morning and before go to bed and, according to his experience and some stories I read on the Internet, I can say that they actually work. Is healthier drinking this water to prevent some diseases than having pills to cure them (and become addict to them). I read a story about a woman who stopped her treatment against cancer and drank Tibicos; at the end, she was heal without facing the side effects of these treatments. As this story you can find more searching on the internet so, why not to try them?

Once you have your Tibicos, you just have to give them sugary water (you can use chancaca) every 24 or 48 hours. After that period of time, drain them and drink the water. Easy, isn’t it?

Had you heard about Tibetan Mushrooms before? Do you know any other Alternative Medicine?

  1. Great! I just asked my dad today and he could not answer. He told me to look it up haha. He has this big jar of tibicos and I couldn't help but wonder what they were.

    I had also heard about them before but I just didn't quite get what their benefits were.

    Now, about other kind of alternative medicine, I have heard that garlic is also amazing.
    You can eat it, make a paste or even juicing it. It helps lowering blood pressure and cholesterol.
    I just wish it didn't smell so bad haha.

    Great topic by the way!
