Are You Paying Attention
Each day all of us are bombarded with drug advertising. Even your medical doctor can’t escape it, due to a constant parade of drug reps bringing free lunches and free samples. It is unprecedented. What I find so fascinating is how effective it is.
Lets look at the typical drug commercial on television. First you are warned about a certain condition and how will impact you life. Then you are alerted that there is a solution for this condition. The solution usually comes in the form of a colored pill.
It’s at this point in the commercial where most people become deaf. You know, the part where they talk about Side-Effects. I suggest the next time you listen. Listen Carefully! It’s interesting that the drug that suposedly gets rid of 1 symptom, may cause 5 or 6 new symptoms. Of course, the same company will have a drug for those symptoms also. What a business!
If someone came to me with neck pain, and I caused them to hurt somewhere else, I’d never see them again. Yet people will take a drug that has multiple-side-effects (in many instances worse than the symptom they are taking the drug for) and will go back for more. Now that is Amazing!
Are You Seeking a Drug-Free Aprroach
If so, you have to ask yourself the question… Do I want to continue treating the symptom or do I want to begin treating the cause. In the below video I talk about this difference.
Remember, you always have a choice in how you deal with your health challenge. Ask yourself the question am I treating the cause or the symptom? Don’t forget that pain is our body’s oil light. Don’t ignore it by masking it with a drug.
Yours in Health, Naturally.
