Where it all begins | Part 2
If your health is not in line, how do you know where the problem lies? How can you treat a symptom without having the root cause of the problem addressed? How quickly does our medical community write prescriptions to treat symptoms WITHOUT TREATING THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE HEALTH ISSUE? How many side effects do prescriptive drugs have THAT ARE WORSE THAN THE PROBLEM ITSELF or ARE SO NUMEROUS THAT ITS NOT WORTH IT TO TAKE THEM? How many drugs are prescribed TO OFFSET THE BAD EFFECTS OF ANOTHER? Don't get me wrong, there are good pharmaceuticals. But how quickly do we jump to put some toxic or life destroying (antibiotics) pill in our mouth when we are too lazy and too stubborn to even get our basic nutrition in order? Slick ad campaigns, backwards medical training mindsets, etc. have led up to a social programming that has caused our group as a whole to jump first to the nearest pharmacy to solve our problems when the problems really result from what is in our refrigerator, pantry and cabinets. Have hope in this. You can change. You can change your mind. You can change your body. You can change your health. Let go of the crutch and take your body back from fast foods (empty calories), buffet lines (lack of portion control) and prescriptions (do the cons outweigh the pros? yes, often.). Others have done it. You can too.
