A Pill for Every Ill

The Western World (not just the US as this indicates) tends to take a medication for every symptom. Your body's priority is to keep you alive, not to keep you comfortable. If something hurts, a prescription to stop the pain is not the solution to the illness. Find out what hurts and why, and work at fixing that.

Let's suppose the body is like a car. Your oil light comes on (you have a pain in your abdomen). If you take out a piece of black tape and put it over the light, then you can continue to drive the car without the awareness that your oil needs changing. You have not solved the problem by taking a pain med, you have only masked the boody's attempt to communicate with you that there is a problem.

Let's take a cancerous tumor as an example. If you cut out the tumor, in some cases that is a wise choice, but don't forget that the body built that tumor because of a breakdown in some process. Your body is building bad cells, perhaps in response to a breakdown in the toxin removal process, or free radicals, or cell communication issue. You can remove the tumor, or kill it, but you must also address the other issue to regain health indefinately.
