\"dictionary<\/a>When looking for a definition we are unsure of, we seek the answer in the dictionary.\u00a0\u00a0 We have learned, though, the dictionary is ever changing as we, the people, create new idioms or use words once considered “slang” and now considered common.\u00a0 Consider the correct use of the word; anxious.\u00a0 Many people use it as a form of expressing anticipation and eagerness for a meeting or event.\u00a0 i.e. I’m so anxious to meet you.\u00a0 However, the definition of anxious actually means;\u00a0 afraid, nervous, showing fear, or feeling anxiety.\u00a0 Thus the correct word for expressing happy anticipation is eager.\u00a0 i.e.\u00a0 I am eager to see you again.\u00a0 Interesting, right?<\/p>\n

Now consider the definition of pharmaceutical.\u00a0 We think of pharmaceutical as being related to drugs, medicines or pharmacy.\u00a0 However, just a few short years ago, that was not the Webster’s definition.\u00a0 In 1968, Websters defined pharmaceutical:\u00a0 to practice witchcraft or sorcery.\u00a0 In my parent’s 1979 Webster’s Dictionary (photo above) it is defined:\u00a0 to practice witchcraft or use medicine.\u00a0 The same dictionary defines pharmacon: poison.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 So, what’s changed?\u00a0 Certainly we cannot argue medicine or pharmaceuticals are improved such that we now have removed the definition poison and\/or witchcraft.\u00a0 Quite the contrary.\u00a0 We have an incredible number of class action lawsuits against many different pharmaceuticals and new suits arise every year.
\nWhat’s changed?\u00a0 It’s our acceptance and usage.\u00a0 As the percentage of American’s using pharmaceuticals increased year after year one could hardly ignore the definition no longer spoke to the masses, right?\u00a0 How many physicians would approve of Webster’s defining the majority of their practice as witchcraft and sorcery?\u00a0 How many patients seeking the latest and greatest pill for what ails them would approve of their prescription for poison?\u00a0 How many people would approve of the majority of our TV commercials advertising better ways to practice witchcraft with the best poison?\u00a0 Really….\u00a0\u00a0 think about it!
\nEvery pharmaceutical has a side effect (or six).\u00a0\u00a0 Often, the side effect is a worsening case of what you have initially.\u00a0 Sometimes, the side effect is the opposite of what you are seeking.\u00a0 Sometimes, the side effects are such that your body must be monitored for failure of another body system.\u00a0 Not because your original ailment would cause that other system to fail, but the medication will!!<\/p>\n

The body is designed to heal itself.\u00a0 When we fuel it with healthy foods full of wholesome enzymes meant to help the body restore itself…when we hydrate our cells, tissues, fluids and organs such that they perform as designed… and when we rest and refresh our bodies… our bodies will seek to heal and regain balance.\u00a0 An imbalance always has a root cause.\u00a0 Discovering the root cause enables a quicker and more successful pathway to wholeness and healing.\u00a0 Please… Take a few moments to think about pharmaceuticals (medication) and see if you can find one that actually cures a disease or illness.\u00a0 Not something that just masks the symptoms, but truly cures.\u00a0\u00a0 I’m pondering…..but so far…. not one!<\/p>\n
