How mainstream medical screwed me

The mainstream medical system has a major fallacy.

One that, unfortunately, I'm intimately familiar with due to the nature of the little-known chronic health problems I started dealing with at age 18 and only truly beat about 2 years ago.

And that fallacy is this:

The entire paradigm is centered on treating symptoms instead of causes.

So, to use the most basic example possible... if you show up with a pain in your body, they'll give you some sort of painkiller, instead of figuring out what's causing the pain and helping you fix it without drugs.

To use a more personal example:

When I presented to the doctor with horrendous skin problems, they treated the external symptoms of dry, red, itchy skin that was covering nearly every part of my body by giving me topical creams (which actually made my situation much much worse later, but that's a story for another day...). Then, while treating the external symptoms, the underlying cause of the dysfunction my body was experiencing was actually getting worse.

Then, years later when I realized I'd been guided in the wrong direction by multiple supposedly world-class professionals, I had a long road to reverse the problems that had deeply taken root.

Why am I sharing this?

Because this is a horrendous mistake.

Not in my case specifically, although that's certainly true too.

But as a general principle.

If there's a problem, we shouldn't always be looking for a "quick fix."

We should be asking ourselves:

"What's causing this problem, and how can I fix it at the root?"

And before you grab your pitchforks and run me out of town for saying what amounts to blasphemy in the "instant-fix, take a pill and forget about it, we want it done yesterday" world we live in... hear me out.

If you treat a wound properly, it'll heal and you can move on.

And how nice is that?

To not have the problem anymore, and just move on?

Way better.

Obviously.

Of course, there's a deeper reason I share this today.

This is exactly the same dynamic that

ends up happening with people's bad habits,

and especially one as addictive as pornography.

They try to take the "quick fix" approach.

They say they're just going to stop.

They install some web blockers.

Maybe they use a friend for accountability and pray.

But they completely fail to address the deeper wounds that are pushing them towards pornography in the first place.

Things like, you know... the fact they're dissatisfied with their lifestyle, their lack of action in the bedroom, their career feels like it's stagnating, or their wife doesn't want to even touch them let alone touch them the way they want to be touched. Or the fact that they've learned to use this vice as a coping mechanism for the myriad stressors of life, and until they break that escapism pattern, it'll keep coming back to haunt them like the smell of rotting food drifting up out of a drain that ain't been cleaned in far too long.

If you want to fix that porn habit, or any other bad habit?

You've gotta dig deeper.

"What's causing this problem, and how can I fix it at the root?"

Ask yourself, and see what comes up.

Then when you're ready to take the next step, I want you to understand that this is exactly what I've specialized my career in over the past 5 years while helping over 140 high-performance professional type men quit porn.

I helped them fix the root, not the symptom.
