Organic vs Non Organic

People are always asking me if i only eat organic. I wish the answer was "yes", but its not. Often times when going to grocery store there isn't a good selection of organic produce or meat. I get what is available at that time. Price also plays a role in my selection and most of you know that organic food is much more expensive. So when working with a budget, its not always feasible. Now i do think its important to get the best quality food you can buy. You are what you eat and if you are eating junk, then you probably will feel like junk. I also think its important that you get the organic fruits and vegetables that are more exposed to the pesticides. Bottom Line is organic/clean food is important, but its not the end-all. Get what your budget allows you to get.

Do I "Cringe" at the thought of somebody using an Antibiotic

I was recently asked if i "cringe" at the thought of a person using an antibiotic. My answer was, "no!" There is a time and place that medical prescriptions are necessary and i am not blinded to that fact. 20 months ago, my wife was in a horrible 18 wheeler auto accident and spent 17 days in the hospital and then spent the next 17 months going to physical therapy and occupational therapy. That is definitely a time that somebody needs medical intervention. She still isn't well from that accident, but is better and independent. If somebody has bronchitis or pneumonia or maybe even severe case of strep, then an antibiotic is ok. I personally haven't been on an antibiotic in over 15 years even if i had a sickness. So just saying, its not my preference, but its also not the end of the world if somebody does need an antibiotic. The prescription medications that i "cringe" at are going to be the long term medications, ie diabetes, blood pressure, cholesterol, thyroid, arthritis, acid reflux, anxiety, depression etc... those cause more damage to you because you are on them for the rest of your life. The long term medications are the ones you need to try to avoid. This is where being more involved in wellness and being more educated can help you out.
