Be Your Own Doctor - How and When to Be Your Own Doctor

I was a physically tough, happy-go-lucky fellow until I reached my late thirties. Then I began to experience more and more off days when I did not feel quite right. I thought I possessed an iron constitution. Although I grew a big food garden and ate mostly "vegetablitarian" I thought I should eat anything with impunity. I had been fond of drinking beer with my associates while nibbling on salty snacks or heavy foods late into the night. And until my wellbeing began to weaken I should still get up the next morning following several homebrewed beers, feeling good, and would put in a hard day's work.
When my wellbeing began to slip I went looking for a cure. Up to that time the merely use I'd had for doctors was to fix a few traumatic injuries. The merely preventative wellbeing care I concerned myself with was to take a multivitamin pill during the rare spells when I felt a bit run down and to eat lots of vegetables. So I'd not learned much about alternative wellbeing care.
