The Beauty of Alternate Medicine
Part of the process of moving into a more compassionate world is understanding the implications of our medical system on our health and well being. England is extraordinary in the world of healthcare in that doctors are responsible for the patient's health.
In the light of the investment that the government has made in the NHS it does make sense that this is the attitude. The implications, though, for our health and well being is alarming. The tools of the trade for doctors is drugs. That is what they use to help make us healthy.
When you put this all together what do you get? Well, you have people who are not taking responsibility for their own health - because it isn't their job - relying on people who use drugs to help them- because it is their job. This is not an equation that will result in a healthy and happy population. Sound familiar?
Alternative medicine or therapy seems to still be a scary idea - odd practices carried out by disreputable people who have no qualifications - seems to be the big fear.
In actual fact, many therapies are being used by the NHS as they do start to recognise the limitations and the lack of genuine healing that occurs with drugs. The other benefit of these less radical procedures is that they are safe, they are not intrusive and they are designed to help the body heal itself.
Another way that drugs and surgery are being misused is in the area of plastic surgery and botox. This provides a temporary fix but if the inner being has not been touched, beauty will not be the lasting result.
Loving ourselves enough to take care of our spiritual, emotional, mental and physical well being is the best path to lasting beauty and excellent good health.
