I am a strong believer that almost everything that bothers/ afflicts us, on a physical level, can be traced back to something we're doing in our lives that is wrong for us. I am one who examines any physical issues I may have, and then I strive to pinpoint what is causing those issues.
Two examples: I was having bad pain in my elbow, to the point where I could not bend my arm, at times. I examined my daily routine, pouring over my comings and goings. Then, at 4 AM, I had one of my early morning revelations: The pocket door in my pantry was my problem. I often left it half open when I was getting things, and I often tapped my elbow on that door. Over time, those taps took their toll. I started opening the door all the way, and in a week's time, my elbow was good as new. Now, a new malady has popped up: Trigger finger in my left thumb. Why? At first, I was baffled. Then, as usual, I thought things out. I recently discovered the joys of bulk, peeled garlic, at the Asian grocery store. That has encouraged me to use more garlic than ever before. I examined my garlic press: Sure enough, the handle of that press presses right into the tendon that causes trigger finger. I bought a new press, and my thumb is on the mend.
I guarantee that 90% of the US public, given my episodes, as above, would have run to their doctors for meds. They put their health in the hands of individuals whose prime goal in life is to make mega-bucks off their captive clientele. Not a good way to go, folks. I view doctors exactly like I view car mechanics: Both are out to fleece you, if you haven't done your homework.
From all of the above I implore everyone: Listen to your body. Reflect on your daily habits/routines, and make changes for your good health. Best of luck to all!
