So many people in today's society trade long term health for the urge to feel good today! Simply put we sacrifice the long term functioning of our body, in order to find a way to be out of pain or to be comfortable today.As an example of this, think briefly about this series of questions.What do you do if you wake up with a fever? What about if you have a runny nose? Maybe you are vomiting from eating some bad sushi the night before.Or how about you have a headache from drinking too much the previous night? What would you do in all these situations? Chances are if you are like most people, you would take a pill to cover up these symptoms! The problem with this is your body is giving you a warning sign that something is going wrong and you are simply trying to cover up the body's cries for help.There is good reason all these things are happening in your body.A fever is an absolutely essential part of proper immune function.This is the way your body mounts up a defense and defeats foreign invaders such as viruses and bacteria that are coming against a properly functioning body.This is a necessary process in order for your body to be well and healthy.So often when we have a fever, we take an aspirin to lower the fever and feel more comfortable! This is working exactly opposite to what the body needs to be as healthy as possible.Let's look at the case of a runny nose.This is merely a defense against allergens, viruses, and bacteria.All foreign invaders, which try to attack the body.The mucus that your body forms keeps these microorganisms from entering your lungs, and later your systemic circulation.Most people in this case simply take an antihistamine and thus prevent the body of its natural and amazing defense system! When we take these drugs we lower our natural immunity and we allow these microorganisms and also allergens to enter into our body.Almost all of us think that when we are vomiting, we are sick.But is this really the case? When you are vomiting your body is often doing something that is very healthy.Vomiting is the process of your body trying purge itself of harmful contents.If you did not purge these contents they would often cause further harm to your body if they were digested further.There are numerous examples of these situations, all are situations where you feel terrible, yet are having a totally normal and healthy reaction.Think about this, headaches are absolutely not due to a lack of a pain killer!Very often headaches are a result of being dehydrated! This especially true in the case of hangover headaches! The answer is not to take a pill, but rather to drink more water.Other forms of headaches can result from low blood sugar, upper cervical biomechanical changes, caffeine, and so much more.We constantly are going after the symptom and as a result are always missing the problem! You body is screaming for help and you are just putting on the MUTE button.Today heart disease and cancer will kill 5 out of 6 Americans! These are killers that almost never show symptoms until it is far too late.In other words problems are growing in our bodies and we think that we are healthy until something creeps up "out of nowhere" and snuffs out our lives.The worst part about all of this is that these are all preventable diseases.Diseases that often if we would take care of our health, we will never have to suffer!Health is not just something that you stumble across.You have to work at it daily.Health is something you earn a day at a time.Remember that just because you feel good, does not mean you healthy.Just because you feel bad in the moment does not mean you need to open the medicine cabinet.Give you God created body a chance to heal without the use of man created drugs! Your body is very intelligent.It is the power that is in your body that has the power to heal your body!
