NO MEDICINE WILL BRING YOU HEALTH: AT MOST IT WILL HELP TREAT YOUR ILLNESSES
Understand the difference between health and illness, you'll never get it or cure it; health is physical, mental, spiritual and social well-being, and illness is a set of symptoms. Between health and illness there are many people out there who say they have no symptoms but simply don't feel well.
What category are you in?
1 - Those who think they're really healthy curiously always think they can improve their health, but they usually make an effort to maintain it: they simply do their part, focusing above all on prevention, to prevent the disease from even happening.
2 - Those who “think” they are healthy, but show symptoms, are often the ones who don't attach much importance to the subject and end up one day “doubled over with illness”, which even seems to have appeared “overnight”, but in fact has been developing for years, mainly due to carelessness with oneself; after all, denying something doesn't make it a lie or something that doesn't exist: it just postpones the necessary measures in relation to it, the “facing it head on to resolve it”.
3 - Anyone who admits they have a disease has already taken the first step towards resolving it: accepting its existence - after all, no one acts on something they don't even recognize exists. The problem is that recognizing that something bad is real, but doing nothing to eliminate it, is useless - after all, only attitudes bring results. And when faced with an illness, what do most people do? They look for the most “appropriate” remedy! But... If it exists, what result do you expect from it? Most would say “cure”, others would say “symptom relief”.
✳️ Healing means eliminating the causes of the disorders that cause the symptoms, and most drugs simply don't do that. Doubt it? I'll explain: when you take an antibiotic for an infection, it kills the bacteria involved, but it doesn't solve the whole “environment” that made it possible for it to grow, and then another one comes along. When you take an anti-inflammatory drug, it reduces the inflammation, but it doesn't act on its causes and, if the body doesn't resolve them, the inflammation comes back in full force after the drug stops, even if sometimes in different places. When you undergo chemotherapy or radiotherapy to treat cancer, it may kill the tumor in various parts of the body, but it doesn't resolve the set of factors that led you to develop it, and you often end up developing another one.
✳️ If medicines don't cure, then how come there is often “improvement” after using them? Simple: while they “relieve the symptoms”, your body is working on the causes, with the resources it has available. This is why, on so many occasions, there are failures: when the focus is solely on the medicine, the body often doesn't have the conditions or resources to eradicate the causes. If these continue to worsen, so does the disease.
✳️ Got the point? Medicines are substances foreign to the body and, as such, can only help to treat (and cure when possible) if they are administered together with the supply of the necessary resources for your body's repair mechanisms to function; otherwise, the most that can be achieved is “symptom relief” and hoping that your body “does the work” of treating itself.
WARNING: Medicines can be essential in urgent/emergency situations, where the set of symptoms requires rapid and resolute action due to the risk of sequelae or death.
PART 2:
Every time you experience the “return” of symptoms or illnesses when you stop using the drugs that were apparently treating them, understand that they have not been cured: they were only, at most, “controlled” by the drugs in use.
Complementing the previous post on the subject mentioned above (in https://www.instagram.com/p/BcbELuankBs), understand:
1 - Whenever you take a medicine, it has been prescribed for a very specific purpose, but in the vast majority of cases, to alleviate or relieve symptoms while your body treats the causes and tries to resolve them. If your body is unable to do this, you will become “dependent” on the medicine in question so that you don't feel the consequences of the symptoms or illnesses it was acting on. However, at the same time, the causes will often be evolving, getting worse inside you, which will often lead you to need stronger doses or even to change the medicine because it simply can no longer control the cause (when it gets more serious) or even to associate more medicines to get some relief.
2 - So the solution is not to take medication? Not always: they may be necessary in urgent/emergency situations (temporarily) or to reduce the strength of symptoms/diseases so that the body can be able to fight them; but they will never solve, cure, on their own! Every time you “have” to take a drug chronically, ask yourself: what am I really doing to combat the causes of this disorder that the drug is treating? Those who investigate the causes properly and resolve them (where possible) are often surprised when, over time, they start to need smaller doses of medication or can even withdraw them, without harming their health (and often with benefits).
3 - Some may ask: “But what's the harm in taking medication chronically”? I answer: they are substances that are foreign to the body and will be metabolized (especially by the liver and kidneys), generating some degree of organic overload for this and thus producing residues, other substances, which are not always desired, healthy and which can often generate accumulations, even toxic, dangerous ones. Others may ask: “But aren't there remedies for life”? Only when the causes aren't resolved (when this isn't possible or when those who have the symptoms/diseases don't do this or don't do it properly): for example, those who have had their thyroid removed need to take T4 (and often also T3) for life, because the gland that produced it no longer exists; those who have hypertension but don't drink water properly or exercise will need antihypertensive medication “all their lives” because they aren't resolving all the factors that lead to high blood pressure; and so on.
So what can you do to resolve the causes? Study, get to know the basics and put them into practice in your life, ideally with competent medical supervision (and that of other health professionals who may also be needed), discussing, planning and applying the best possible therapeutic plan for your case (which doesn't just depend on medication!). Where to study? This material will certainly help you (take the time to access it):
If, in the end, you don't want to learn from all this material, I know your category... Just be careful because, in life, “We reap what we sow” and those who sow symptoms will never reap health, even with all the remedies in the world.
