Although I do believe conventional doctors want to do everything they can to provide relief to their patients, they have been trained to mostly treat the physical symptoms of the issues. Medical professionals give you a diagnosis based on symptoms, then prescribe the matching treatment in hopes of alleviating them. They typically prescribe medication or may even suggest dietary changes, but none of these get to the root of “why” the problems first appeared to prevent them from persisting. The only way the body can heal is by addressing what started the issue in the first place. It is not the doctor’s job to resolve the underlying reasons for the issue.
Furthermore, the treatments being offered use harmful chemicals on some occasions with possible deadly side effects or invasive procedures. Treatments for cancer as an example include; chemo and radiation, which attempt to aggressively kill off cancer cells in the body, but these approaches kill off the good cells as well. Since we depend on these healthy cells for healing, the body is left weakened and defenseless. |

So, as you may have guessed, Tom found himself anxious quite a bit. When he started the medication, he was only taking one pill at a time. As life became more difficult, he still didn’t know how to cope with stress or find happiness, and therefore his doses increased. He had built up a tolerance over the years and somehow this was never questioned by his doctors. By age 30, Tom had gained a tremendous amount of weight, found himself deeply depressed, and was experiencing insomnia. Not only that, he was up to 18 doses of medication just to make it through the day.
It wasn’t until Tom moved to a different state and changed doctors that they became alarmed by the amount of medication he was on and immediately cut him down to three Xanax per day maximum. He was left feeling defenseless and ill-equipped to handle everyday life because he had never really learned how. Tom experienced withdrawal and started isolating himself more and more as a way of coping. He left his job due to the amount of social anxiety and stress he was under. He began to drink alcohol to compensate for pharmaceutical medication. It started with a few beers in the evenings to take the edge off, and his other family members drank most evenings, so it didn’t cause alarm with anyone. A short time later, he found he needed something stronger, and eventually turned to straight vodka. It was only a matter of time before he would hit rock bottom. He had been through a more traditional treatment program the previous year where he was given medication to ease his craving for alcohol (as if the alcohol was the problem). Not surprisingly, he went right back to drinking when he got out of treatment, because nothing had changed inside. |
