We need to transition to holistic, adaptive natural health and more natural, earth-striving medicine. Medicine these days is too reactionary and focuses on people being sick instead of holistic well-being. I have noticed that reactionary medicine has become more like an industrial assembly line, waiting around for people to get sick. Instead, we need to focus on more holistic approaches to transition. We all ought to strive to be naturally healthy by engaging in strength training, fitness training, conditioning, eating well, reducing pollution, eating organic foods, and eliminating detrimental stress. We should then avoid the industrial assembly line altogether. I think it’s a natural condition for us to be healthy rather than sick. In fact, I often wonder how industrial reactionary medicine can deal with all of the side effects and medications. It appears as if sometimes the medicines make you sicker. In contrast, we should focus on the causes of illness and address them holistically. Too much research involves trying to find drugs to cure people who are already sick, when it makes more sense to try to find the cause and prevent that from occurring in the first place. Take, for example, tobacco. Tobacco is known to cause cancer among other health problems. Why do we still have tobacco? The same is true for Excess alcohol. Consequently, we need to understand what’s naturally healthy and what is not, which requires an understanding of nature.
Our current approach to healthcare urgently demands a fundamental re-evaluation. The prevailing paradigm, often characterized by its reactive nature, primarily focuses on intervention after illness has manifested. This disease-centric model frequently feels akin to an intricate assembly line, proficient at processing and managing symptoms once individuals are already unwell, rather than proactively cultivating enduring health.
We must pivot towards a truly holistic and preventive framework – one that champions natural well-being and empowers individuals to thrive. True health, I believe, is our intrinsic state, and maintaining it requires a concerted focus on the foundational elements of life. This includes prioritizing nutrient-dense whole foods, ensuring consistent physical activity, fostering clean environments free from harmful pollutants, and diligently mitigating chronic stress through mindful practices and balanced living. By embedding these principles into our daily lives, we can significantly reduce our reliance on the downstream interventions of conventional medicine.
It’s perplexing to observe the extent to which our system often grapples with the cascading effects of polypharmacy and adverse drug reactions, sometimes inadvertently worsening the very conditions it seeks to alleviate. Instead of merely managing illness, our collective endeavor should be directed towards identifying and neutralizing its root causes. Far too much research funding and clinical effort are dedicated to developing treatments for established diseases, when a more logical and impactful strategy would be to understand the genesis of these conditions and implement preventative measures.
Consider, for instance, substances like tobacco and excessive alcohol consumption. Their causal links to severe health complications are unequivocally established. Yet, despite this irrefutable evidence, their widespread availability and societal integration persist. This highlights a critical disconnect. We readily address the consequences while often sidestepping the uncomfortable truths about primary drivers of poor health. Shifting our focus to prevention isn’t merely an ideal; it’s an economic imperative and a moral obligation to foster a healthier, more vibrant society. Understanding nature is the key. Then, we should adopt an Earth ethic of striving for natural Earth, natural healthy living, and natural spirituality. It would also help to have a foundation of loving, caring, sharing, giving, forgiving, and genuine kindness, striving to bring about comfort, joy, love, hope, and sustainable striving happiness.
There is no alternative to reactionary medicine when you get injured or violently ill from natural causes or anthropogenic causes. I am amazed at the miraculous treatments and interventions in reactionary medicine these days.
