So. I’m going to say that I’m not a fan of western medicine. Going to give some examples. Feel free to agree or disagree, here goes.
There are lots of instances where a western doctor will prescribe a pill, with little to zero conversation with the patient about fixing the ROOT of the problem. Depression is a big one here but not the only one by any means. In my opinion the “there’s a pill to fix anything mentality leads to dependency.
Speaking of dependency, there has also been precedent of big pharmaceutical companies pedaling drugs through corrupt doctors like common drug dealers… Did you all hear about that small town lawyer going after big pharma because he got wind that there had been enough drugs (I think it was OxyContin) pushed through his town to supply every man woman and child, young or old, with some ridiculous number of pills. Like 700 a piece? Disgusting.
Another failing is how little they respect what the human body is capable of living through. I kind of feel like they’re more like skeezy car mechanics where you go in for an oil change and the guy tells you your car (that you drove up there just fine ffs) is about to fall apart on you. All of it seems like a big scam to get you paying them money to give you medication that’s really not fixing much.
Personally I’m a fan of just kind of being a Neanderthal. I’m not going to the doctor unless I’m literally in the process of actually dying. I’ve had so many injuries from Bmx that it’s hard to keep count, and you know what? My body has healed itself.. You know why? Because I didn’t lay down to rest after I got hurt. I let things heal in a way that tells my body, “ I’m not going to lay down and die so deal with it.” If I’m depressed, I know how to handle it, introspection and thoughtfulness. I’m hyper af most days, and if I let them tell me that’s a problem then I’d need adhd medicine, but it’s not a problem. It’s a gift. lol
(Ps if you give your child Ridalin you may just be a lazy parent…. What child isn’t hyper af? I’d be more worried if they weren’t!)
There are obviously times I’ve been to the doctor for things. I had strep throat that would have given me lock jaw as a child.
More often than not though your body is perfectly capable of handling sickness/injury on its own. Mother Nature crafted you to be a hardy specimen, and she has many more years experience than the local doctor. Js.
