To Thine Own Self Be True
There are two ways of seeing the world. In the old paradigm nature is gone against and attacked. The world is seen only through the 5 senses and what appears solid is accepted with trepidation. Everything is dissected and seen as separate. It’s a dog eat dog world and conclusions are based in greed.
What's wrong with this picture?
Even though modern medicine hasn't, science has evolved. We now know that what appears solid is mostly space. We know that there is a quantum field of possibility to play in. And thanks to scientists like Bruce Lipton, we know that chemical reactions in the body are preceded by thoughts and emotions. We can expand, include and rely on greater awarenessess like intuition, feeling, and inspiration. We know everything is iinterconnected and that in most cases it makes more sense to work with nature rather than against it.
But even though many renowned researchers have done high quality, qualitative studies on how heart disease, diabetes, cancer can be reversed up to 70% by making lifestyle changes, in general doctors in America are still not recommending these tactics.
Ode magazine recently put out a great article entitled "Doctatorship: Military thinking in medicine, by local Berkeley Homeopath Dana Ullman. In it Dana writes, "To treat a patient, the doctor must provide a diagnosis that determines the existence of a “Western medical disease,” or WMD, even if this diagnosis is sometimes based on faulty medical intelligence or just selective intelligence.
Doctors usually choose to “shock and awe” the body. An elaborate attack ensues, utilizing our most sophisticated technological armamentarium, including the newest painkilling drugs, antibiotics and chemotherapeutic agents. This militaristic medical solution takes precedence over other strategies that strive to re-establish health through forces that augment the body’s defenses. While some doctors offer dissident opinions and propose less invasive treatment strategies, these voices are muted by the medical-industrial complex."
Acknowledgment addressing the patients’ skills about their own bodies, along with attention on community support will empower every living being to participate in their own health care and that of their surroundings. Improved understanding about maintaining wellness and personal bodily integrity using integrative medicine is the future of medicine. The mental, emotional and physical aspects of the healing process need to be much further reviewed and revered.
