Ask Your Doctor

Our perceptions of the world are not necessarily the reality, but are sometimes the view that someone wants us to see. In 1900, the United States was first in the world in health. In spite of current press to the contrary, our standing has now dropped in every area of health measured by the World Health Organization (WHO). Of the 33 industrialized countries included in a recent WHO study, the U.S. ranked as follows:

17th in longevity

23rd in survival of newborns during their first year

33rd/last in birth defects

Actually, animals in the U.S. are raised with higher health standards than us. Dog food has more minerals in it than baby food. We often aren't told the whole story because those in control don't want us to know.

The advertisements of the drug companies urge us to consult our doctors about taking medications for all kinds of symptoms. However, instead of replacing the chemicals manufactured by the body with external substitutes, we should be asking why the body isn't doing its job appropriately. The introduction of foreign substances in the body will cause reactions, both known and unknown.

The thyroid gland, a small gland located in the neck, offers a good example. The known symptoms of hypothyroidism are weight gain, dry skin and hair, hoarse voice, fatigue, cold intolerance, and puffy facial features. Since this is considered a fairly common condition, the doctor will probably diagnose it easily and prescribe medication, one that the drug companies have touted to the doctors. Recall the hammer and nail caveat.

By using a broader assessment of the symptoms, such as M.A.P., the relationship between the thyroid gland and the adrenal and pituitary glands will be taken into account since these could also be the source of the symptoms. If the thyroid does end up being imbalanced, then this broader perspective will be able to define the type of imbalance more precisely. This whole-person model of treating symptoms supports a return to health in contrast to the conventional model of disease management.

Doorway to Heaven

While genetics and environment play a significant role in health, personal choices and attitudes also play a powerful role. Our daily thoughts and activities create our health and, fortunately, can contribute to improving it at any time. Our choices also affect the marketplace, such as buying organic food and recycling packaging materials.

Choices are often quite unconscious, based on past experiences and fear of the unknown. Advertisers cater to this fear by saying that their product will provide what is needed to fill that gap. By making choices more conscious, we can ignore the manipulation of advertising and create healthier lives for ourselves.

The universe (the virtual realm) is a vast energy of potential that we use to create our lives. Our thoughts become intentions which, by giving them attention, become actions. We are typically only aware of about one-tenth of the information coming to our five senses but can learn to be aware of more. Choosing positive thoughts will improve our health, since thoughts influence our lifestyle choices and the workings of the physical and biochemical realm.

Many health conditions have their origin in the virtual realm. Acknowledging the emotions or thoughts causing the condition allows healing to occur. In this case, changing the diet or taking medication will not resolve the condition since these do not deal with the source of the imbalance. The virtual realm is the source of the physical and biochemical realms and must always be considered when restoring health.
