Soapbox

What is it with society today that whenever people get sick or a skin rash or something physical happens we pop pills to get rid of the symptoms. All too quickly people seem to want to cure the symptom instead of finding out what the cause is. For example I have on my foot a slight rash and the second M & S see it, they say get the steriod cream, get rid of it!! Whereas I want to know what caused it not just get rid of it because how do I then avoid the cause or treat the cause - this is why I am a huge avocate for natural products and homeopathy. I feel that with these products you can find and treat the cause which will then treat the symptom. To me using chemical drugs is a way of masking the issue, like a quick band aid. I guess that's also what I have worked out that dieting is for me, instead of dealing with what causes me to turn to food and my overeating and I am only dealing with the band aid food problem - dieting to me is yes lost the weight but will probably gain it again as I haven't dealt with the cause of me being fat. Does this all sound like talking in circles.

I guess I have just got to a point with many things where I no longer want a band aid, a chemical drug, a diet to get rid of the symptom I really do think its time to figure out what the underlyng problem is and hey if I have to walking around with a rash on my foot for a month to find out what is causing it I will!!

What is society really covering up with all their chemical drugs and food band aids. Okay Bex time to fold up the soapbox and go and eat some organic fruit!
