One of the things I've become increasingly certain of (for me, at least) is that our current "mainstream" medical system has morphed into a highly complex, extremely expensive, and manipulative industry. After Deep State makes us afraid and fearful over EVERY little thing, we naturally turn to their learned, scientifically-proven "solutions" to make us feel better about these perceived problems and pay someone else DEARLY for them. Whether it's medications, vaccines, tests, or other supposed cures, I think they're all about masking our symptoms (while not actually CURING anything) in order to develop other, new symptoms so they can pump us full of (and become dependent upon) their many expensive chemical "cures".
I certainly don't wish to negatively influence anyone who believes in our medical systems, especially if these systems are helping in their particular case, so if what I'm saying here doesn't resonate with you, please just disregard it. For me, however, it's become abundantly clear that much of what we've been given is closely related to "The Placebo Effect". If we believe something will cure us, it likely will.
In my own experience, I've noticed an increasing willingness of my doctors to run ALL kinds of tests, discover ALL kinds of problems, and prescribe ALL kinds of medications. Let's "try" this. Let's "try" that. Well, that's not working well enough "for your (arbitrary) test numbers" so let's try something else.
I seriously feel that our current systems are intended to confuse, dazzle, and manipulate us. It's not for OUR benefit, either...it's for THE SYSTEMS.
For the past few years, I've been on a number of medications (as many as 6) for different supposed ailments including high cholesterol and gout. While my insurance covers much of the cost, the actual cost of the medications is quite high...and we all know that insurance is just a scam to s-p-r-e-a-d out the costs so that EVERYONE pays. We may think we're getting a bargain, but SOMEONE (all of us ultimately) pays for it. Big Pharma will ALWAYS gets its money--one way or another. So about a year ago, the doctor wanted me to come in and take an annual physical and do all the many blood tests, etc. in order to renew my prescriptions. I made an appointment, but they had to reschedule. I made another appointment, they had to reschedule that one too. During that time, my prescriptions ran out.
I was really getting fed up with the whole process, so I took the repeated cancellations as a sign to just ditch the whole thing. I just abandoned the whole effort entirely. Doctors. Tests. Medications. All of it. The only real result of that I've noticed is that I've become much more conscious of what my body is trying to tell me. If I start feeling stressed, I know I need to take a few moments to de-stress, rest, or meditate. If I have a negative thought about my health (and I have MANY throughout the day as a result of my previous Deep State/cultural/systematic "mental programming"), I immediately transmute it with conscious, intention-filled thoughts of perfect health, comfort, and youthfulness. I also have and express much greater appreciation for my body, the earth, and my natural processes (such as eating, processing food or energy, and elimination) many times every day.
On the rather infrequent occasions when I do experience a twinge, dis-ease, or pain somewhere (like I once experienced in my feet as "gout"), I immediately pause what I'm doing, acknowledge and appreciate it, and envision it bathed in a brilliant golden light of perfect health and comfort. I thank my body, the earth, and "Spirit" for the experience and release the situation to Spirit. I actually don't even like to think of the term "healing", as that implies that there's something wrong and in need of "fixing". Every time I've done this (perhaps a couple of dozen times over the past year or so), the noticeable condition disappears almost immediately.
The only exceptions to this have been a couple of bouts of stomach flu (or perhaps something "bad" I ate). In those cases, I simply used my "down time" as a way of finding patience, meditation, and rest. I figured I was going through the process for a reason and simply "rode it out" as patiently as I could.
I know this process may not be for everyone--and I would encourage anyone to follow their own way, whatever resonates or feels right for them. And sure, I may be completely nuts for turning my back on my doctors (actually, my grandmother did so many years ago and died as a result of a bowel obstruction that could have been easily taken care of), but as I see it, if I'm not feeling extremely ill and in need of medical "intervention", I'm not going to seek it out. They'll only find lots and lots of things that need "tweaking" or "fixing", and that's not anywhere near where I'm at at the moment!
So, my two cents...for what it's worth!
