Something that touched me: It's a fast paced society we live in...we need to be "on" all of the time, meeting our deadlines with a smile--at least, that's what we're told, no? In my office, we have a huge bottle of Ibuprofen that is used regularly by the staff. What do you do if you have a headache and a meeting? Dull the pain to a manageable level as quickly as possible. For minor aches and pains would stepping away for five minutes to sink into a relaxed, meditative state help? Perhaps for some things...perhaps alternative therapies that utilize natural foods, vitamins and herbs, massage, energy healing, and emotional release therapies are a great supplement to our quick-fix, numb-the- pain western medicine approach for long term healing. Wouldn't it be marvelous to be healthy and disciplined enough to increase your magnesium levels for chronic headaches or schedule an acupuncture appointment for your sinus infection instead of filling your body with something riddled with potential negative side-effects? this made me stop for a moment and question my own use of drugs for their analgesic effects:
Certainly there are very real conditions that warrant pain killers. Believe me -- I was in chronic pain for years and I know and remember clearly JUST how debilitating chronic pain can be. My message is finding agood doctor tht treats the whole u. PLEASE if you are ill or you know someone that is ill seek out other holistic treatments well. Make SURE you have a good doctor that isn't just labeling you and handing you pills. What OTHER pain management techniques can you learn so you can limit these medications? ASK your doctor! What work can you do on your emotional state that might help the physical feel better? Being in pain can cause depression and stress which worsens most conditions. Are you open to learning methods on the mind/body connection that even if they don't heal you 100% will undoubtedly make you feel significantly better? 99% of the information I found was free online. What do you have to lose?
