RE: Let others go their own way.
Yeh sadly living a consciously healthy lifestyle (whatever that ends up translating into for you) is much harder work than swallowing some pills and hoping that it's the right kind that will fix whatever else problems are there :<
It’s a pretty convenient business model I guess...
Indeed. Although from the viewpoint of a conscientious health professional it's gotta be pretty heartbreaking to explain to your patient what they need to do to sort their health out but that all sounds like way too much hard work and they just want a magical pill to make it all better and if you won't provide them with one well then they'll just go to someone else.
I remember reading (fairly recently even, I just don't file things these days unless they're directly relevant to something I'm doing!) something about the psychological shifts that can happen as soon as someone becomes a "patient" with a "condition" where they seem to decide that they're helpless and at the mercy of whatever it is they've got rather than actively trying to fix/work around it.
Only so much you can do anyway :)
