Listen to your Gut!

I hear it all the time, Ive watched it on a documentary recently - how we are all born with fight or flight and gut reactions. Babies are born with the sence to spit out anything that is bitter and like sweet things. Our bodies reject things, food - in my case a belly button piercing (2x's!) Think for one second - what happens when you drink too much alcohol - your body is telling you it has too much poison in it and we throw up! Alcohol poisoning.
YET Cannabis has the opposite effect - they give it to people who can not gain weight,  from personal experience - I would not say it gives me the munchies - but it does make what ever I am eating taste better so I can get it down. . It helps people from being sick. 
COMMON SENCE - Listen to your GUT! Never mind alcohol how about prescribed medications ! Read the label, almost everything can cause an upset stomach, bleedeing ulcers,  liver damage.... ALMOST every thing you take. 
DOES IT MAKE you feel better - truly? 
It should- that is the entire point is it not? My hubby would rather take a tylenol. O.K.  I can't force him - just as we should not be forced to use toxins over natural herbs. 
Listen to your gut! 
Thank yo to my friend Andrew who  suggested this cartoon. He is also LIVING PROOF.

In the United States, it's payola city for doctors when Big Pharma sales reps show up. They gift doctors with all kinds of snazzy gifts. You, the patient, take the medication trusting your doctor. Then you, the patient, are afraid to go to sleep at night in fear you might not wake up. This was an experience I had with a charming medication called guanfacine. I called the doctor the next day and she says I need to give it at least seven days. I didn't give it another seven seconds. You know, American TV shows in the 1970s built this mythology around doctors in the United States. Shows like "Marcus Welby" and "Emergency", for example. So, people trust their doctors implicitly. But when most of them are on the payroll of Big Pharma and we have a strictly for-profit medical system here, how can it be anything ethical? Over here, good and ethical doctors are rare.
