Chronic issues are the driving force behind Me becoming a Holistic practitioner, with the specialization in mental issues.
I have known people who are extremely sick that do very well in a healthy, supportive environment.. Without drugs.
The drugs being pumped into theses people are killing them. {PERIOD}
The liver can only take so much abuse before it fails.
Medication has become a crutch for many people on them.. People just can't "deal" with every day life so they take these drugs to do the coping for them... & Yes, this is a sign of weakness.
I was weak for some time & Got help to be strong again... When I was better, I put down that crutch.
I'm not saying that everyone who takes Meds is abusing them, but most are.
----------------------------------------------------
While I'm ranting, it also disgusts me that these drugs are so accepted as "normal" and OK.. People are putting their children on them. Like people putting their teenagers on antidepressants.. WTF??
Teenagers get depressed, it's called hormones... Shit I have seen people put young children on Meds... Like Ritalin...
I'm sorry, but children are naturally distracted.. They are trying to take everything in, there is just more to take in the modern world. They need guidance & individualized attention. NOT drugs.
**Which supports my ongoing over-population rant**
We teach our children that drugs are bad, except if a Doctor gives them to you.
I just want people to know that there is an alternative..
Treat the body has a whole *Mind, Body, & Spirit*
Again I say, I am in no way saying that all who are on Meds are abusing them, they do have their place.
I just think more people need to recognize that their issues can be helped in other ways.. It seems society has just taken to answering their issues with a pill, and that makes Me very sad.
