Thinking Outside of the Pill

Posted Jun 29 2009 4:27pm
By Carol Harblin (CHHC)

Ever look at a pill? Why do we think that Tylenol or a prescription medication is going to solve all our problems with one swallow? Why do we blindly take that pill and not even have concern about the dangers of it?

If it's given to you by a doctor on his little pad, then it has to be safe. This is the common thought of many Americans. Doctors have been our guidance and our rock. Why have they sold out to big pharma? More often than not, they see a symptom and jump at the chance to give a drug based on that symptom. This is not healing - it's masking.
Healing is actually sitting down and figuring out why a person feels the way they do and makes a step-wise plan to alleviate the condition of the person.

If those little pills really worked, then why are people feeling worse and why do they have to stay on them for the long haul? If those medications were actually a healing remedy, then the actual problem would be alleviated.

There are many people who take blood pressure medication. If those pills really helped to bring down the blood pressure, why do some people still struggle to maintain a normal reading?

People who take these prescription drugs only want to swallow a miracle pill and resume their normal routine. People don't want to change their behavioral patterns. The only time a person really wants to change their patterns is when they have been faced with a life or death situation. Why does a person have to wait until they've fallen to such a bottom before they want to get into a healthy lifestyle?

There are so many other ways of feeling better without swallowing a pill. Meditation, acupuncture, Reiki, reflexology, or even massage are just some ways that can help restore balance and heal yourself.

Take yourself back and think outside the pill.
