The Candy That Sooths

So I'm not big on hospitals, or doctors, or medicine.

I think it's all kind of a big hoax.

No offense to any predestine medicine men.

Or politically correct; medicine people.

I believe in my body.

God made it.

It's perfect and I wouldn't want to hinder it by putting questionable substances into it.

Our bodies are made to heal themselves, so even if it takes longer I'd rather take that route.

At times I have even been teased, and I quote, that "I'm scared of Flintstone vitamins."

The second reason I think medicine is bad is because my older brother, Ryan has convinced me that the government is trying to poison everyone and make us all complacent.

You didn't think I listened to you, big bro, did ya?

I find your views fascinating and interesting.

I can't eat at McDonalds now either...

Also I don't believe in ADD.

I think those people just have a lot of energy and they don't learn through sitting still and reading a book.

They learn more by being active.

I think this world puts everyone is a box and if you don't fit in it then they put you on drugs to be normal.

and to that I say HECK NO!!

I don't have to fit ANYONE's "definition" to be productive in this world.

I say to every person; embrace who you are, LOVE who you are, and don't ever change for this world.

How's that for sticking it to the man.

But now we are WAY off topic, I didn't plan on going that direction.

What I wanted to say is I don't believe in junk like medicine BUT

I discovered cough drops today.

I know. I'm 18 and this is my first time using the magical lozenge. Weird.

But I have a sore throat and these things are SOOOO soothing.

I was skeptical when Kenz gave them to me at first, but now I'm a believer.

They taste like dog breath, but I'm not complaining.

Three enthusiastic thumbs up for cough drops!

{ps I'm probably going to get a comment from Ryan telling me that cough drops have a chemical in them that will melt my brain in 2.7 seconds flat.}
