Australia’s “drug problem” involves more than just our youth. We’re a society who has been taught that there’s a “pill for every ill”. Yet, recent headlines have shaken the public’s confidence in this belief. Vioxx, Celebrex, and Aleve have been implicated in an increased risk of heart attack and stroke. Hormone replacement therapy has been associated with increased cancer risk. Adderal, a drug for ADHD was linked to over 20 deaths in children. Ritalin and other drugs for ADHD may cause long term chromosomal damage which could increase cancer risk. Widespread overuse of antibiotics has been linked to immune deficiencies, asthma and allergies as well as causing resistant bacteria, such as MRSA. Aspirin kills over 16,000 people per year due to gastrointesti-nal side effects. A huge increase in autism in recent years has been traced to mercury in vaccines. Over 108,000 people per year die as a result of taking properly prescribed medications. Even more die from drug errors.


What do we do? Whom do we trust? The true heart of the problem is that we have been taught to look out-side for the answers to our problems. Our current model of healthcare says that when there’s a problem we need to take something or do something to alter the body, make the symptoms go away and bring things back to “normal”.

The problem with this line of thinking is that it never addresses the underlying cause of an imbalance or symp-tom. Our bodies are smart. They have an inner wisdom, an inner intelligence which knows exactly what we need to keep functioning at our best. Modern science understands only a tiny percentage of how our body really func-tions. So, when we go in and alter the body with very powerful chemicals, no one really know the full implica-tions of what we’re doing to the body. Medicine is an art. Studies that are done assess how a percentage of peo-ple will respond to a certain chemical. No one can predict with complete accuracy how you will respond to any drug. Plus, as soon as a person is taking more than one drug they are well beyond the realm of knowledge, since few studies are done to test drugs interactions with each other.

This is not to say that there is never a place for drugs. However, we really have to use them as a very last line of defense. Because, all drugs have side effects and no drug can return the body to a state of optimal health. They can merely help you survive at the lowered level of health you already have, while also contributing to fur-ther levels of lowered health.

The best way to avoid the dangerous effects of drugs is to stay as healthy as possible. A healthy body has no need of drugs in the first place. Keep your spine and nerve system working at their optimum. Have the best diet possible and supplement to make up for what you miss. Keep a positive mental attitude and a good spiritual con-nection. Exercise regularly. Look for the underlying cause of imbalances, rather than just covering up the symp-tom. Learn to trust the wisdom of the body first. After all, it’s gotten you this far.

There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action.

And, because there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique .

If you block it, it will never exist through any other medium & will be lost.

The world will not have it.

It is not your business to determine how good it is, nor how valuable, nor how it compares to other expressions.

It is your business to keep the channel open.

You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work.

You have to keep open and aware directly to the urges that activate you.

Keep the channel OPEN.
