Then again, I think that so very many people forget that cocaine is a "natural" product. I guess far too many people ignore the signs when they are upon them. But I honestly believe that far too many people take pills because they're told to and no other reason. Think Marilyn Manson summed it up best, "a pill to make you numb, a pill to make you dumb, a pill to make you anybody else... but all the pills in this world won't save you from yourself..." Think we really should just stop once in a while and listen ;) A lot easier said than done however. Ah… the “natural” products.

Terrible not to blame ... lol I do have a sad story about a very spiritual woman who though that she didn't even need modern medicine to the aid of a doctor ... what started as a simple headache did grow to her losing her life due to her refusal to either listen to her body or have any faith in modern medicine at all. I'm not one who shuns it in any way and trust me ... I'll be the first to be at a doctor when i know my body needs it! Just ask my x-rayed and scanned leg! I was also one of those people who had a near psychotic episode after taking the very natural 'st johns wart' ... so I'm not a great advocate for saying that things natural heal everything either ... I guess I'm just saying ... listen to your body, because it is you and no one should know you better than you ... right? Happy to say I'm on the mend ... besides the pesky sore tummy that won't let me forget about what not listening can do ... ouch! ;-) Hey Robbie

As for everyone and going to to the doctor. For some reason unknown to me, everyone else seems to think that by going to the doctor and then taking a pill or two that everything will be just fine. Should you not, the world will end. Truth is pain isn't always a bad thing. It tells us stop doing what ever it is that is paining us... (just wish it wasn't so effective at times). And believe it of not, most things will heal themselves without any intervention. I tend to believe that when you have one that won't you'll know to go to the doc. :D :P as said, sometimes you just need to take a little time out.
