Drugs
Although many indigenous cultures have used mind-altering substances for spiritual growth, I have had only negative experiences using them. There will be no guidance in this book regarding recreational drugs. In my experience, a slow and natural progress is more healthy than the sometimes traumatic leaps of change that drugs can cause. Many people have been helped with mental illness by medication. As far as prescription drugs, I have had more adverse effects than positive in my personal experience. They are often prescribed without consideration of lifestyle changes. Perhaps after the 30 Day Challenge it will be possible to wean yourself off of some of your medication, but I would only do this with the consultation of a therapist and physician whom you trust.
