NATURAL MEDICINE VS CHEMICALS – PART 2

November 12, 2019 by NEEL TRIVEDI

“Quiet down and listen to your own heartbeat. Quiet down and listen to your own pulse. Quiet down and pay attention to what your health is telling you. It’s the most accurate and cheapest diagnosis you’ll ever have.”
-Neel Trivedi (at a mental health seminar)

Yesterday, I explored some broad views about how people felt about natural medication both in place of as well as alternative to chemically based drugs. In today’s follow-up post, I’m quoting specific examples of how certain individuals feel and why.

Rosa, a fifty-six year old neighbor of mine, has been on prescription medication for various ailments including arthritis, diabetes and a heart condition for several years. Much like my own case, she tried replacing her medication with natural supplements but all efforts produced very little fruition.

NATURAL MEDICINE VS CHEMICALS – PART 1

November 11, 2019 by NEEL TRIVEDI

“My body is a temple and I would never pollute it with what some money-driven, corporate doctor tells me to take just to add an extra dish of caviar on HIS plate.”

-Volunteer at a mental health seminar

I heard the quote above a few years ago at a local mental health seminar I was invited to speak at. I wasn’t too surprised as over the years, being a mental health patient has exposed me to a diverse bunch of opinions, especially where medication is concerned.

BIG POSTS COMING

Dear Readers, Apologies for the lack of posts this week. I had some personal issues going on that needed immediate attention but thankfully, most of them are resolved now. I will resume regular posting on Monday and will start with the two-part post I alluded to at the beginning of this week. I thank every … Read more

RX VS HOLISTIC (PREVIEW)

November 4, 2019 by NEEL TRIVEDI

“Our bodies are our gardens. Our wills are our gardeners.” – William Shakespeare One of the more rapid endorsements that seem to be on the rise in recent years, especially in the midst of an opioid epidemic, is the use or at least inclusion of natural supplements in place of pharmaceutical drugs. While the actual … Read more

Patience and Optimism

November 1, 2019 by NEEL TRIVEDI

“Patience is not the ability to wait, but the ability to keep a good attitude.”
-Joyce Meyer

In a previous post I had talked about the importance of being patient and how what’s meant to be yours will eventually come to you even if it’s later than expected.

MASKS & COSTUMES

October 31, 2019 by NEEL TRIVEDI

“Your self-worth is determined by you. You don’t have to depend on someone telling you who are.”
-Beyonce

Happy Halloween, everyone! Today is the day to dress up and wear costumes and enjoy putting on a new identity.

Just make sure it’s ONLY for today.

Getting Older

October 29, 2019 by NEEL TRIVEDI

“Aging is not lost youth but a new stage of opportunity and strength.”
-Betty Friedan

We all dread it at some point. We try our best to stall it and when we can’t, we’d all like to pretend it’s not there by covering it up in any way possible.

I’m talking about aging.

Horoscopes

October 28, 2019 by NEEL TRIVEDI

“People generally see what they look for, and hear what they listen for.”
-Harper Lee in “To Kill A Mockingbird”

Some believe in them strongly, some read them strictly for amusement and some dismiss them out right. But we all read them.

I’m talking about horoscopes.

Abusive Relationships – Part 2 (Males)

June 11, 2020October 27, 2019 by NEEL TRIVEDI

“…Sexual abuse is no object to age, gender or sexual orientation.”
-Journalist Justina Bakutyte

In the first part of this post, I explored some possible reasons why people who are abused stay in those relationships longer than a person looking on from the outside might think they should.

In this part, it’s my intent to explore that subject further but with one difference. This post will focus on a lesser discussed topic; males who are abused.

Abuse – Part 2 coming tomorrow

October 26, 2019 by NEEL TRIVEDI

Dear friends, I was all set to upload the next part of yesterday’s post when there came a roadblock, albeit a postive one. A male friend of mine who was a victim of domestic violence agreed to tell his story anonymously. As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, the second part is exclusively focused on male … Read more

Abusive Relationships – Part 1

October 25, 2019October 25, 2019 by NEEL TRIVEDI

“It is better to break your own heart by leaving an abusive relationship rather than having that person break your heart every day.”
-Unknown

How many times have you either said or heard someone you know say:

“He/she hits me but really does love me.”
“That’s not him/her, that’s just the anger. It’ll get better soon”
“I should try to be a better person.”

October 24, 2019 by NEEL TRIVEDI

Dear readers, Thank you, as always, for taking the time to read my posts as well as tons of other wonderful content on this site. Because October is the month for domestic violence awareness, I am preparing a special two-part post for tomorrow and Saturday which will not only talk about this issue but also … Read more

I’m Listening

October 23, 2019 by NEEL TRIVEDI

“Most of the successful people I’ve known are the ones who do more listening than talking.”
-Bernard Baruch

I’ve often felt that sometimes it’s better to let someone know you’re there for them rather than try to be their savior (unless they specifically indicate otherwise).

Nuisances and Bad Days

October 22, 2019 by NEEL TRIVEDI

“When you have a bad day, a really bad day, try and treat the world better than it treated you.”
-Patrick Stump

We all have these days: Your alarm didn’t go off or you hit that snooze button one too many times. Your hot water’s off. The traffic while going to work is much busier than usual. In short, nothing seems to go right.

GRATITUDE FOR THE GRANTED

October 17, 2019 by NEEL TRIVEDI

“Reflect upon your present blessings, of which every man has plenty; not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some.”
-Charles Dickens

Do you express gratitude as often as you should?

Absence & Distance – REPOST

October 16, 2019 by NEEL TRIVEDI

“Distance gives us a reason to love harder.”
-Unknown

I had previously written a post about maintaining long-distance relationships.

Yesterday, while reading an article about it, I found some tips that friends family members use to get over distance.

To keep things in context, here’s the original post with the tips added in:

Loyalty

October 15, 2019 by NEEL TRIVEDI

“The older I get, the more I value loyalty. You can fool me with kindness, but loyalty speaks for itself.”
-Kristen Butler

What is loyalty? The textbook definition is giving firm and constant support to someone.

Taking the Right Advice

October 14, 2019 by NEEL TRIVEDI

“The people with the best advice are usually the ones who have been through the most.”
-Unknown

I’ve written several posts before about listening to your heart when it comes to major decisions. I’ve talked about how manu people will try to dictate your life path but ultimately, everything’s up to you.

Given that Samantha and I are starting an advice section on this site, I’ve recently asked myself when is it okay to listen to others? When do you finally throw in the towel and tell yourself you need help?

Opioid Epidemic – Part 2

October 10, 2019 by NEEL TRIVEDI

“Realizing and listening to what your body and mind is telling you — that’s most important.”
-Author Tianna G. Hansen

In yesterday’s post, I discussed a few but certainly not all, of the factors that may have contributed to the current opioid epidemic. In this part, it’s my hope and my goal to not only carry that conversation forward but to also give hope to people that there can be a life beyond dependancy on opioids and a positive one at that.

Before I go any further, a disclaimer here is necessary. I am not a doctor nor do I have any kind of expertise in medicine or mental health. What I do have to offer is my own experience as well as a few others who have spoken about their own experiences. It’s important to note while reading this post that every mind and body operates differently and uniquely and a single medical philosphy can never be universally applied. As today’s quote states, you have to listen to your own body and mind to decide what works for you.

Opioid Epidemic – Part 1

October 9, 2019 by NEEL TRIVEDI

“The worst thing about prescription medication is that sometimes it works too well.”
-Unknown

“A doctor was arrested for writing X number of prescriptions.”

In the past month alone, I’ve read about twelve or thirteen such headlines in the news.

I’ve also read countless accounts of people going bankrupt to fulfill the need of an addiction.

All of the above stems directly or indirectly from a topic that has everyone buzzing these days:

The opioid epidemic.
