Natural Medicine vs. Man Made Medicine vs. Nurture

When I was a little girl growing up, I always hated doctors. The thing was I was stupid at that age and didn’t know that I could refuse to do stuff that others told me to do (like when mom made me go to the doctor, totally could have fought that). But I was dumb and let her take me even though I was felt literally scared to death and would rather die then go see the doctor. And it seemed like every time I had to go there I was forced to get a shot. Last time I ever went to a doctor was when I was 14 but we’ll get back to that later.

I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was 8 in 3rd grade. Honestly, I didn’t even know that I went to the clinic to get diagnosed because my parents wouldn’t tell me where we were going or why I was there and stuff. I hated that place. But I was too stupid to express my discomfort in places like that and for those reasons I believe I have a type of Autism as well (unable to express/communicate).

But to my point, I was forced on pills and my parents called them “my thinking pills”. I thought they were joking so I laughed with them at the time but now I think that’s an insult. The first symptom I got from the pills were headaches. Then I got dizziness combined with headaches when we’d ride in the car. Then I began to get severe acne and I was only 8 or 9. The next few years continued about the same way. But then in 6th grade when I was 11 I got the rare hair plucking disorder. My family knew about it but never took me to a doctor or anything, I guess they didn’t know that it was a disorder. I got the urge to pluck when I became bored which was quite a lot around that time. It got to the point where I looked balder and ugly because of it. But not real bad, just the lining of my hair was bald. It stopped for a while but then picked up again when I was in 7th grade. During that time I would pluck in just one spot, and I didn’t do it just because I was bored but because I was stressed and it took my mind away from class. I would pluck the back of my head and the side which did create bald spots and that really didn’t help the bullying and stress. I finally learned to stop myself but it wasn’t easy because it became an addiction. I still do it now once and a while but no where near like it used to be.

Then in 8th grade, I started noticing the effects of the pills that I was still on. My stomach would be growling but when it was lunch time I was so disoriented that I could hardly or couldn’t at all pick up my sandwich to eat it. Then when the end of the school day was nearing I could almost feel the effects wear off and I felt more “free”. I couldn’t wait to get home and feast on whatever was near.

9th grade came, that’s when things got bad. 9th grade was stressful enough on it’s own feeling the pressure of every assignment being counted for towards graduating or not. It was just too stressful. And every morning I’d have to get woken up an hour early just to swallow some stupid pills that made me sick to my stomach literally. My stomach would cramp and the acid would spurt. It felt like a fireball. I wanted to throw up because of the acid but I couldn’t because it was contacting.

I went to the doctor when I was 13. Absolutely hate the doctor. He had to check my vitals, weight, and ask questions. Call me a crybaby but I hate having that stuff checked out because it’s an invasion of privacy. I believe I should be in charge of my body not other people. I told the doctor that the pills were making me sick but he said, “that’s just a common side effect and I think you should take the pills for a few more years.” Totally disagree, big red flag.

So later when I was 14 in 9th grade I was so stressed and depressed that I couldn’t brush my hair or teeth or hardly shower or just take care of myself. Because things were that bad. All I wanted was to go home, stay home, eat, and sleep. Just to be away from reality. I wanted to tell my parents to stop forcing me on the pills but again the autism and stress was causing me to not want to talk to anyone or express myself and I also believed that they wouldn’t let me stay off them. There seemed to be no way for me to convince them.

So what happened? I pretended to take the pills for at least 4 months. I would put the pills under my tonge and just swallow the water. Then when my dad left I would spit out the pills. The problem was that the pills dissolved as soon as they contacted my saliva. So I still got sick from that. Then one day there was a late start and I left without taking the pills. And my parents found out but they decided to let me stay off them. Within a month I lost 15 pounds and became happier. I could laugh with the other students in class instead of being zip mouthed from the pills.

So life got better ever since then. (Somewhat yes and no). But then 12th grade came. In November 2008 I began to get Gall stones. At first I thought the pain was coming from the fact that I hunch way too much and crunch my internal organs which causes pain. So I tried sitting upright but that didn’t help at all. Usually that makes it feel better right away but it didn’t. In fact it felt worse when I did that at times. I noticed that the pain was mainly and very strongly under my right rib. Right where my gall bladder is. Which is when it occured to me that I might be having gall stones. I researched on the internet about this topic and sure enough my symptoms matched. The thing was, I was scared to death that I would have to go to the doctor for this. And maybe even have surgery from what I was reading. But I hated doctors, and hated spending money, escpecially on something that I hate. Then I found out that surgery isn’t necessary at all.

I had heard of natural remedies before and knew small stuff like garlic clearing up cold symtoms and experienced it. I had gotten into Wiccan stuff but was too lazy to perform any of the remedies cause I didn’t really need them. So I researched natural remedies for gall stones and immediatly found some that worked. I could cure my gall stones whenever I wanted. And it was nearly free.

But then I got appedicitis in April 2009. Which I knew from when I found out I had it (intense pain increasing by the hour) I knew that I would have to get my appendix surgically removed which I didn’t want to have happen. So I researched for a natural remedy for it and got cured the same day. Haven’t had any symptoms since then.

That’s still not the end of it. In May 2009 I got Lymes disease from not taking a wood tick off of me properly. As soon as I removed the tick I knew I did it wrong and was very likely to get Lymes and about 4 days later I did. I began to develope a bull’s eye rash and it grew bigger by the hour. I feared that I would have to go to a doctor for anti-bodies and I still didn’t want to waste money or time on that. So I found a natural anti-body and ate that. It worked better then the man-made medicine because it would have given me side effects but the natural stuff did nothing but purely heal me.

I’m very proud of myself for sticking with nature’s way of healing instead of giving in to what doctors say. The doctors are corrupted by the government. The US government is very greedy and wants to suck money out of their own citizens. Very much so in the health department. In most other countries they give out free medical care. Here they charge as much as they can for everything. I basically saved thousands of dollars by simply sticking with nature and refusing to go to doctors. It would have cost thousands to get all the surgery and treatment required for the illnesses I had. My parents could have just nurtured me instead of throwing the pills at me to “cure” the ADHD but it just masked it and made it worse. And because of that experience I couldn’t trust to tell my parents about the other illnesses I had so I went and naturally cured them on my own.

So there’s a lot of things in question here. Can we trust the medical system here in the US? My answer is no. Can we trust our own parents with decisions they make for us when we are too young to know better? My answer is they need to know more options first. There are always more options. If there is something you want to do but don’t know how it can be done, research on it. I stuck with what I wanted in my mind and didn’t give in to what others were demanding from me. And I got my personal reward from it. I say to all people that you should never just run like sheep with the herd. That sometimes it’s smarter to go you’re own direction. Most of the US citizens don’t even know that they don’t have to pay hundreds or thousands of dollars for stuff that’s unneccisary for their treatment. Of course the medical system and government don’t want them to know that because they would lose money that way. In fact, it’s illegal for someone now to say that you can take an orange a day to cure an illness unless that person is a licensed doctor. I think they are taking the corruption quite too far don’t you? I say that the average US citizen is very nieve and needs to educate themselves about the truth of what’s going on.

Here’s a few quick natural remedy foods that I’ve used and seen proof that they work well. All you have to do is eat them.
