Whole Health is what I call my medical model as shown in the illustration. The causes (diet, exercise, etc. leading to imbalances (weak adrenals, congested liver, etc.) leading to symptoms (fatigue, pain, etc.) Standard medicine only treats the symptoms. I strive to address all three levels of chronic disease.
Body/Mind/Consciousness
I have taught Qigong for 20 years. Qigong is an exercise system much like Tai Ji where you are moving an meditation at the same time. Qigong is an excellent antidote to the stresses of modern life. Consciousness includes everything and judges nothing.
Bashing a computer
I just got an email from WDDTY – What Doctors Don’t Tell You – an excellent newsletter I have been getting for about 20 years now. Here is an excerpt I liked:
My Italian forebears correctly deduced that your doctor often doesn’t know what he’s doing – not because he isn’t a good person with good intentions, but because the equipment inside his black bag doesn’t work particularly well.
As sophisticated as it is in many regards, medical science utterly lacks any understanding whoatsoever of the extraordinary dynamics of the human body. With its emphasis on interrupting and often opposing your body’s own processes, medicine never takes into account exquisite mechanism of the organism it is trying to fix or the body’s extraordinary potential to operate beyond chemistry and a bit of electrical signaling.
This includes the power of faith, hope and the will to live – all long proven elements of so-called miracle cures or spontaneous healing. Without a true appreciation of this wondrous ability, medicine is a blunt and clumsy instrument, a pointless meddler, a caveman being called upon to fix a mainframe computer, whose solution is to bash it with a club. And even this metaphor is crudely inexact, because even the most complex computer system cannot begin to approximate the body’s mysterious ability to move from total disarray to order – in short, to heal itself.
