Illness is no longer something I'm used to. I enjoy good health and focus on maintaining my wellbeing.
So right now, I'm very sick and very conflicted. I believe that the human body is amazing and our ability to heal, regenerate and grow is so often underestimated or even ignored in favour of "quick fixes" - like antibiotics. My income and livelihood, however, depend on my wellness every single day.
Today I see the doctor, who will prescribe antibiotics. Should I take them, I will subsequently rebuild my body with probiotics, coconut oil, vital greens and an immune tonic... But I could do all that right now, without putting western drugs in my body and causing it toxic strain, and build my immunity so that I don't get sick again for a long time. I risk taking longer to heal and losing more money in the short term, and that poses a very big problem.
I'm opening this one up for discussion!

I say go with what your gut instinct is telling you. If it's not going to cause serious hardship (ie. it'll make things tricky rather than desperate), go with the natural cure you favour. If it's going to make things a total nightmare, go the evil antibiotics ;)
