NO MEDICINE WILL BRING YOU HEALTH: AT MOST IT WILL HELP TREAT YOUR ILLNESSES<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What category are you in? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2 - Those who \u201cthink\u201d they are healthy, but show symptoms, are often the ones who don't attach much importance to the subject and end up one day \u201cdoubled over with illness\u201d, which even seems to have appeared \u201covernight\u201d, 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 \u201cfacing it head on to resolve it\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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 \u201cappropriate\u201d remedy! But... If it exists, what result do you expect from it? Most would say \u201ccure\u201d, others would say \u201csymptom relief\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u2733\ufe0f 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 \u201cenvironment\u201d 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2733\ufe0f If medicines don't cure, then how come there is often \u201cimprovement\u201d after using them? Simple: while they \u201crelieve the symptoms\u201d, 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2733\ufe0f 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 \u201csymptom relief\u201d and hoping that your body \u201cdoes the work\u201d of treating itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
