I believe both sides here are correct. It is certain that I have health problems. I also find myself at times spending an unhealthy amount of time trying to improve my health. The purpose is to improve out lives but if we spend all of our lives planning and fixing and researching what's the point? Do I really want to spend my life behind a computer or thinking about HOW to live instead of getting out there and LIVE? We are all here for a legitimate reason, but like everything else in life too much of a good thing is bad and the search can become a problem in itself. Not that we need another syndrome or label, but Orthorexia is a similar problem dealing with diet. Some people get addicted to the internet. I have definitely tasted both sides of this topic, so I can say yes the search to cure the problem can be a problem in itself and in some cases I can imagine the search being more of a waste of life than the original problem.
