precoffee rant

​Random precoffee rant in three, two, one:
I'm neither hippie, nor zealot. Rather, I actually struggle with the tenants of my faith with respect to "healing". I'm inclined to desire the quick fix, the easy way and I respect those who've dedicated large portions of their lives and their money for education. But (insert expletive here) wow. I'm trying to conquer some chronic health issues here - and as I get one re-wrangled another probably transient issue pops up like a mole hill in a fresh cut lawn - and my medical professional says something to the effect of "this is good so keep taking this AND consider adding this - and this is NOT good so we want you to take this" not EVEN connecting the ugly dots that if I concede to ingesting the third "this" it can damage the very organ that is trying to wrest back control to continue to deal with the first "this" Enter stress in massive waves. I don't need fifty prescription meds so I can remain miserable, fat and chemically dependent. I need my body to work as it was designed to do. If that is the harder road - so be it. Big Pharma - I am not your science project. If one needs life saving medication - take it - but shoving a pill at a symptom based on a number and not listening to the person - I cannot trust that method
