How to decide what treatment to choose.
Our medical system is heavily biased toward chemically manipulating our bodies. Everything from pain medications, to antibiotics, to anti-hypertensives is anti anti anti!!! So how and why do these medications work? As science developed tools to explore the biochemistry of the body it was able to produce chemicals that either mimic or block existing pathways. So where am I heading? Only to say that the reason medications work is because of something the body already knows how to do but for some reason its intelligence has been blocked or weakened. There are some medication pharmacologists still don't understand, like Acetaminophen or Tylenol. However other pain medications like NSAIDS, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, are better understood by the medical community.

In addition, we should examine our relationships so that they are life supporting. Everyt
