“Most diseases are the result of medication, which has been prescribed to relieve and take away a beneficiate and warning symptom on the part of Nature.” – Elbert Hubbard
Symptoms
If you want to know what is going on with your health, just listen to your body. A little ache or pain is trying to tell you that something isn’t right. That’s how the brain communicates with you. Unfortunately too many people ignore the pain, think it will go away or take a drug to hide the flashing signal light.
What do you typically do when your kid calls out for you? Do you ignore them? What about when they stop crying out your name? Do you assume everything must be okay again? Of course not.
If you were in your car and the dashboard light comes on telling you to have your engine serviced or that you need oil, you have three options. You could ignore the light and keep on driving. Inevitably the car would break down and the repairs would cost much more when you had to fix it. Maybe a strategically placed piece of duct tape would solve your little problem. If you can’t see it, then it doesn’t exist. And of course you could always take it in to your mechanic to diagnose the problem and fix it before more trouble starts.
I have heard patients say “I don’t like doctors.” Doctors are there to help you. “If you have time to hurt, you have time to heal.” Not knowing if something is wrong is just a silly reason to not find out what ails you. Some people with family histories of cancer refuse to see a doctor for appropriate tests because they fear something may be wrong. It would be better to know you only have three months so you could tell everyone how much you care about them and maybe even visit the places you’ve always wanted to see. It might also be smart to find out early so there is a possibility something could be done to save your life.
HAVEN’T GOT TIME FOR THE PAIN
So when it comes to your body, what will you do? Is pain normal? No. So why hide it with a medication when your body is clearly crying out something is wrong? A medication may help decrease your back pain, allow a better night’s rest or get you through the day, but that pill isn’t going to correct any postural problems, misalignments, muscular imbalances or trigger points causing the pain in the first place.
I want to know why I have pain and where it is coming from. Medications don’t solve a problem they only pacify the symptom. I also don’t want to perceive I am feeling better so I can return to my normal abusive activity level only to collapse on the 4th hole after my chip shot.
