What is the most common reason you go to the doctor?

If you are like most people, you only go to the doctor to get rid of something that you don’t want. Pain is your biggest motivator. But is  pain your really the problem?
The truth is, pain is your body telling you that something is wrong. Lets face it, if something was wrong with your body, and you felt nothing, or even felt better, you would probably do nothing. (You might even do more of it!) Your nervous system knows exactly what its doing when you feel pain. Your nervous system is telling you to take action!

Most  “health care” is designed to minimize your symptoms

If you have pain you are prescribed a pain “killer”. If you have inflammation you are given an “anti”inflammatory drug. If your stomach is producing acid, you are told to take an “ant” acid. For depression, you need the ever popular “Anti”- depressant. This is called allopathic care. Allopathic means opposite of symptoms.
But since  pain is your body telling you that something is not working right, doesn’t it make more sense to look into whats causing the problem? When your “check engine” light comes on in your car, do you cover it with black  tape so you don’t see it? Of course not, you take it to a mechanic before the problem gets worse. You might even go on a regular maintenance schedule.  So why don’t you do that with your body?

Here is what you should do if you have pain
