Medicines are associated with treating illnesses. When the main goal is health, I suggest putting this as the main goal:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you're healthy, you probably don't need drugs (or don't need them very much) and you know that they aren't essential to maintaining your health. Real health is based above all on good self-care and as many healthy lifestyle habits as possible (learn about them here: https:\/\/icaro.med.br\/15habitos\/<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those with symptoms and illnesses, however, a question arises: why, when most people fall ill, do they immediately think about \u201cwhat medicine to take to get well\u201d? Why do we already see medicines and treatments as necessary to recover our health, before we even try to understand where we might be going wrong? Exactly for whom can medicines do good and why do they so often \u201cdo harm\u201d?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before attending this lecture, it's important that you understand that when I talk about medicines, I want to emphasize that I don't condemn their effectiveness when the prescription is fundamental. I am against abuse and unnecessary use, where medicines are used without treating the cause, without changing behaviors and habits. Remembering that treating symptoms does not eliminate the \u2018disease\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So watch the trailer, which summarizes the main points of the lecture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
