Have similar experience re: questioning... am becoming more mindful about eating to nourish body rather than taking things for granted and mindlessly eating to satisfy hunger.
Western medicine treats one thing, while the treatment compromises other parts of body in my biased opinion. Even knowing the risks and alternatives people make choice to use this type of treatment. Was telling someone a story about this psychologist who had an intuitive sense that something was going on with his body (he experienced certain symptoms and having this nagging feeling). His doctor couldn't find anything, but this guy persisted, telling doc, there IS something going on here. They did more tests and found a late-stage cancer, terminal. The chances of successful treatment was low but this man had a feeling things would work out. Knowing chemo and radiation were harmful he used this form of treatment bc he believed it would help him. He listened to his 'heart' which instructed him on dosage of chemo and radiation. Luckily his doc was very open to feedback (kind of rare haha) and followed the guy's suggestions. His tumor went into remission and he lived to help people to see another type of intelligence - one that goes beyond the limited brain. The psychologist realized that we do indeed have internal knowingness of what is good for us, that others, such as doctors, may not be in touch with. He also was well-read on cancer treatments and such so he had good knowledge base about treatment and how it worked.
So I guess it's about listening to one self bc each person 'knows' what is best for their own health
