Solve it or medicate?
Better results with less time & effort

In this issue:

Vioxx or bodywork?

What's a person to do?  They've taken Vioxx off the market!

Worse yet, questions are being raised about other medications.  In fact, if you listen to the same sources I do, you've lately heard the entire FDA system for approving and monitoring prescription medication called into question.  Ouch!

At issue seem to be various "side effects" which, in truth, are simply additional "effects."

Don't get me wrong.  Modern medicine given at the right time to the right person saves lives.  Lots of them.  Not only that, medicine can dramatically improve quality of life.  I don't mean to pitch it all in the garbage!

But let's keep in mind what medicine can and can't do.

A substance like Vioxx is designed to address the effects of mechanical wear and tear on the body.  The after-effects.  A pill really can't do anything for the wear and tear itself.  Not even a "natural" alternative.

You can, though.  You can minimize the wear and tear on your body by optimizing your body alignment. 

You may need some help.  The muscles that control your body's alignment are often not under your conscious control.  They respond to factors like the after-effects of previous injuries or trauma and energy congestion from chronic stress.

You'll need to address those issues directly.  But you can.  They can be resolved, and your body can return to its proper alignment.  That will minimize the further wear and tear on your joints.  Much as aligning your car frame minimizes wear and tear on your tires.

Medicine at the right time and place — by all means.  But if you can solve a problem directly rather than simply managing symptoms, why not go for it?

Still shopping?  How about a gift of health?

Some of us are still finishing up our holiday shopping...  If you're in the same boat, take Santa's advice—pick up a copy of Word Cures!  Your gift will keep giving all year long as your friends and family become more resourceful and healthy in every area of their lives. 

Come to think of it, why not get one for yourself?  It'll help you keep your New Year's resolutions.

Word Cures is available on my website (just click the link), or pick up a copy at my office if you're in town.

Until next time —

Elizabeth
