It’s been said that “many drugs are escapes from which there is no escape”.
Using drugs to manage the demands placed upon us is about as effective as trying to fill a punctured tire with air. It works for awhile, but the tire will soon be flat again. Until you repair the tire, the problems remain. Most likely they’ll get worse.
Pain should be viewed as a warning or a symptom of a problem – not as the problem itself, to be eradicated at all costs. Pain medications only block the symptom, allowing the real health threat to worsen by neglect.
In America, drugs like aspirin have become big business. Media images tell us that pain is negative, that we need not experience it, that intelligent people don’t tolerate it, you haven’t got time for it, and that we must get rid of it immediately. One ad says, “Life got tougher, so we got stronger.”
Ads not only promote a product, they tell us that life without pain and discomfort is possible. We are barraged with “scientific” evidence, animated diagrams, and personal testimonials that tout the superiority of one painkiller over another. They tell us we don’t have to suffer the consequences of abusing our bodies and that health can be bought.
This is a lie. Never before has there been a society so subjected to such a consumption of poisonous substances. The effects could be catastrophic in the decades ahead.
