As someone who was once dependent on medications, frequently visiting hospitals since childhood, I've lived a life where powders, pills, and syrups were as common as meals. This routine stretched on for at least ten or twenty years. I became a regular at clinics—perhaps even their VIP customer. It wasn’t difficult for the doctors and nurses to recognize me. All it took was visiting once or twice a week, and as soon as I walked in, they’d ask, "What's bothering you this time?" or "Have you finished the medication from last time?" The whole process was so familiar that I knew every step by heart!
But after taking so many Western medicines and trying to exercise, did my health actually improve? If it did, would I still need to visit clinics and hospitals all the time? Something must have gone wrong somewhere. It must have been my mindset. Ever since the rise of modern medicine, people have relied on it to quickly fix discomfort. Our priority now is to recover as quickly as possible so we can return to school or work. Whether the illness is completely cured or not has become secondary. As long as we don’t feel discomfort, we assume we’re healed. But is it really cured, or are we just pretending it is? Sometimes we know the truth, but we deliberately ignore it, burying our heads in the sand. As long as we’re not facing death, we rarely have an epiphany. This is why so many people regret their choices only after being diagnosed with cancer. They fail to realize that their body has been signaling them countless times, and they’ve ignored every warning. When your body gives you a chance, and you don’t take it, how can you blame it for running out of time?
People can be foolish like that. We know what will make us healthy, and we know what will damage our health, yet we gamble that nothing bad will happen to us—until it does. And then comes the regret. This cycle repeats over and over because humans fail to learn from history or reflect on their mistakes.
Many people are now aware that Western medicine can’t provide a cure; it only addresses the immediate symptoms. It treats the problem we can see, but is the issue truly resolved by the medicine, or by your body's own healing powers? Ask yourself that question. Ultimately, we rely on our body’s natural self-healing ability. If you treat your body well and listen to its signals, it will reward you in ways you can't imagine.
Western medicine certainly has its value, but the control over your health lies within you. It all depends on how you treat your body. Its needs are simple: give it the right nutrition, don’t disrupt its rhythm, and provide it with enough rest and energy. Your body will naturally give you the health you desire. After all, if you need rest, how could your body need any less?
