Do you ever notice how the natural way to do things is presented as “dangerous” or scary? Like natural childbirth, choosing to abstain from a v-xine, using food as medicine, using natural supplements to address health, not treating food with harsh chemicals, schooling at home. Where does that come from?
Obviously this is not everyone’s story but before I learned a bunch of things and was going along the “conventional” health path, without much of a question or research on my part, no one paid me any mind. There wasn’t an influx of people coming to me with concerns about whether I had researched this or that or if I was doing the right thing going along with what the medical field said. But after I was fed up with not getting answers, not getting better, started to ask questions, do more research, then I ran into more concerns. More raised eyebrows and disbelieving looks. Like “are you sure”? It begs a question of what society believes that when an individual actually starts looking into things is when it’s deemed “dangerous”. Maybe we need to get back to the basics of nature. How God created us to be. And stop idolizing “science” and “experts” so much. Sure both can have value but they are not immune to mistakes and missteps.
“Experts” used to prescribe cocaine as a medicine as well, maybe we shouldn’t blindly follow someone merely because they’re an “expert”. Just food for thought. 💭 Perhaps the responsibility lies with us always, to check into things, look at actual ingredients, look at actual numbers and see for ourselves what’s going on. I blindly followed for a long time. When I started taking responsibility for my own health and questioning things… Well it set me on the path to get better, be more present, and make better decisions, and more freedom.
