Sometimes we need medications. Today I share a story about a family member who experienced sudden immobility and required medicine to regain it. However, the goal was to get off the medicine, especially one that carries so many risks and side effects. As a nation, however, we've become so comfortable with prescriptions and trust in the medications, that we often don't even bother to read the fine print of the side effects when we pick the medicines up from the pharmacy.

Shouldn't there be a goal to get off the medicine as soon as we can? That will likely require taking control and working on our health. Our bodies are resilient and can heal, but we need to work on ourselves to do that.
