Are you going to take the vaccine?

I would also urge you stay away from pharmaceuticals like pain relievers, the function it is serving is a mask, and in your case, that may be it's true purpose. There is alot of energy spent to maintain the status quo.

I keep myself healthy without any pharmaceuticals. And I am very healthy. But I have to say that every once in a while a situation crops up where taking aspirin is the lesser of two evils—headache and misery, unable to do anything vs. getting pain relief. This I do accompany with looking at what created the headache, be it worry, tension, physical issue such as subluxation in the neck and if so, why—that sort of thing.

Pain relievers do function to mask what the actual issue is. But that is not a reason to suffer. When the pain is acknowledged, and then looked at and processed, I see no reason to avoid aspirin. When talking about morbidities like diabetes for example, I think it wise to adjust diet before taking medication if it is possible for a person. My mother was put on diabetic medication and after some years she developed kidney damage because of it. For some people this may be a trade-off that works for them. In her case when she—or rather my sister whom she lives with—adjusted her diet finally, the diabetes was essentially gone and even the doctor took her off the meds.

Belief systems are key to any healing or management of illness. The placebo effect proves that over and over. So it truly must be a personal decision. I would not undermine someone's belief in allopathic medicine or any other system. This in my opinion would be to take something from them, in an effort to push my opinions and control what they do.
