Unless the situation necessitates the use of drugs, I typically shy away from using prescription or over-the-counter medicine because I hold the belief that the body can heal itself of illness and ailments. Rather than turn to a drug that “helps to reduce your cholesterol” (while, in fine print, also causes damage to your other very vital organs and causes mild to severe reactions I’d rather not ever have to deal with), my answer is: stop eating cholesterol-laden foods! If your doctor says you need more potassium, eat a flippin’ banana and include that piece of fruit and other potassium-rich foods in your daily diet.

Over the next few days, I’ll be posting information on what I’ve done and what products I’ve used, if any, to cure myself of common ailments, including headache, nausea, and the common cold.
