It is very empowering to realize that your health is really your own responsability! This way, you will do whatever is in your power to do what you know is good for your health. Our health is without a doubt our most important "posession". Whithout it, nothing matters!
We can certainly use help with our health from others, but ultimately, it is our decision what to do to stay healthy. If a doctor tells you to follow a certain prescription, be it medication, surgery, or any other treatment, you should analyze and decide for yourself based on research and logic, if that is the appropriate course. Don't be afraid to ask questions. This is your health we are talking about, after all!
Stay Healthy My Friends!
