Why Trainer J doesn't take medicine

Hello all, so why does Trainer J not take medicine? Before I get into that, I just want to point out that I am in no way telling any of you to stop taking your medication. I am simply stating my opinions about the use of medicine as it relates to your typical illnesses and diseases. I will try to keep it somewhat brief but this is something that I truly believe in based on personal experimentation which makes it hard just to say a few words about the topic.

Let's think for a second. The body is designed to naturally heal itself. When was the last time you had a cut that never healed and just continued to bleed every day? Or had a fractured bone that never fused back together? Or had a cold that just never went away? Chances are never, unless there was another underlying medical condition present. The point I'm trying to make is that most of our bodies are well equipped to take on the daily healthy challenges of life as long as it has all the ammo that it needs to do so. We don't expect our soldiers to go to war without the proper technology, guns, training etc. needed to defend our great country. If we did, I probably wouldn't be writing this blog post inside Barnes and Noble right now.

Think of your body as your great country that is being attacked daily by the enemy of life. It is up to you and you only to provide it with the nutrients, exercise, hydration, and positive emotional support to successfully defend your immune system day in and day out. So when you fail to do so, your body starts to lose the battle against life which develops into illness and sometimes even disease if you continue with that particular lifestyle.

It's very simple, if your body lacks something it will tell you. Lack of water influences headaches and other symptoms while lack of calcium could lead to osteoporosis. Yes these are two different extremes but still avoidable if we live healthier lifestyles. And most of you know this but still continue to live the sedentary lifestyle filled with processed food consumption along with other unhealthy habits. Then you wonder why you're constantly catching colds, the flu, and having headaches every week etc. It's because your body is sending out smoke signals every day for help but you continue to ignore them. You never even give your body a chance to defend itself. Meanwhile, in your opinion, the only thing left to do is go see the doctor just so that he or she can tell you to start eating right while giving you a prescription to temporarily put your symptoms at bay. When the truth of the matter is, if you focus on the root of the problem (poor diet and a unhealthy lifestyle), you could eliminate most if not all of your symptoms all together.

But in general, society is too lazy and would prefer to take medication just to continue down that road of unhealthy living because the medicine is taking up the slack. Almost every disease is reversible with clean eating, positive emotional and nutrient support to help revive the body's immune system so that it can fight off the unwanted bacteria. If anything, take the medication and then change your lifestyle around so that you can gradually ween yourself off the medicine at some point. Yes it's my opinion but I just don't believe that no one should have to take a pill for the rest of their life. Yes some medicine is definitely needed don't get me wrong. Perhaps when the illness has done so much damage to the body, a life filled with medicine may be plausible but in most cases when the damage hasn't been done, I beg to differ. Live healthier, eat cleaner,and become more positive emotionally. All I'm saying is give your body a fighting chance to prove itself in battle. It may just be all the medicine you need!
