The pain is there to PROTECT you from a more severe injury or even DEATH.
Without pain, we could just keep doing really stupid and harmful things to our bodies and we would not even realise that we are hurting ourselves. Usually, with acute pain . . .
The WORST thing you can do is to take a drug to try to and stop the pain.
Unfortunately, when the cause of the pain is less obvious and it shows up as a headache, stomach pains, acne, skin problems, diabetes, persistent cough and other internal and external discomforts . . . most people (including doctors) get it completely wrong in my opinion.
Imagine . . . if someone suggested you go to a doctor and ask them to give you some strong pain killer or local aesthetic so that you can keep your hand on the stove, or stabbing or cutting themselves with a sharp knife, you’d think they are crazy. But that’s EXACTLY what happens in the other types of pain. What starts out as a small initial problem or pain, turns into something much more serious later . . . if you don’t fix the cause.
Basically, it’s the same as keeping you hand of the stove or cutting yourself over and over and asking for more and more pain killers instead of taking your hand off the hot stove. People just don’t see it as the same thing!!!
Because in both cases of pain, most people want to run to the doctor and tell them about their “pain” and/or want some sort of remedy, pill or injection to stop the immediate feeling of pain. The problem with this is that you are not addressing the REAL cause of the pain.
How to “CURE” a headache.
Take the most basic pain of all . . . a headache. Now first of all you can’t “CURE” anything by any drug. Only your body can heal. The things you eat, drink or think can either assist in the healing, or make it HARDER or even IMPOSSIBLE for your body to heal.
I haven’t taken a headache tablet for over 32 years now. Is that because I NEVER get headaches? Absolutely NOT. In fact, I had a HUGE, splitting, enormous . . . I just want to die kind of headache just the other day.
