for me, the best cure for any of these ailments is through meditation. if you have a headache, don't reach for the aspirin; focus on it, discover why you have it, and will it away. taking drugs, no matter how extreme they may be, control your mind through chemical alterations. i know it sounds a little paranoid, and we all want to be fooled sometimes, but eventually, you must come to a conclusion, and for me, it was that taking drugs was a disturbing facade to make you forget what was really troubling you in the first place. making reference to that awful movie, tell yourself there is no spoon, there is no pain. things seem better when you do it to yourself.
