Health is a simple subject.
The
body and mind complex is designed to enjoy physical, mental and spiritual
health. It does not take truckloads of wealth or world destroying economic
development to achieve it. The wild animals in the forest are happy, the birds
flying in the sky are happy, the insects chirping on the ground are happy. They
will continue to be happy if we allow them to remain in their environment and
not destroy it.
What
medical science ought to do is study health and how it is maintained by the
body in the environment it is in. When the environment within the body and the
environment external to it are in sync the result is health. The doctor’s job
is not limited to prescriptions. The ayurveds, naturopaths and yoga teachers
know this very well. If you care to study what they have to say, they lay down
laws for the body, mind and environment; very simple laws. They are called
natural laws and in scientific terms the term circadian rhythms comes close.
Then
what is disease? Disease is about toxicity that results when these laws are
violated. Even the ordinary working of the body creates toxins that are
expelled through stools, urine and sweat. Often there still is accumulation of
toxic load that is periodically shed through the process of acute illnesses
like colds, coughs, fevers, diarrhoea, skin rashes and the like. Would you give
medicines to stop stools, urine and sweat? Foolish is it not? Similarly it is
not wise to not understand acute illnesses and suppress them. The toxins then
further accumulate and affect the person at physical, mental and emotional
levels creating chronic disease.
Then
there are moral laws which when broken lead to diseases like sexually transmitted
diseases. Suppressing these lead to even more serious diseases that can travel
generations. They can also be transferred through blood and serum transfusion.
I oppose vaccination. It tremendously
complicates matters and interferes with common childhood illnesses that are the
body's attempt to throw out the inherited disease load. That is why the infant
immune system is differently built. It is passive. Vaccines also deal with
extreme toxins and inject human, animal and avian serum. God alone knows what
kind of harm we have done through this procedure. What human and animal
diseases we have introduced into society besides the toxic impact.
The body can work and heal itself only if we
cease to interfere in vital growth and development periods like pregnancy,
childbirth, infancy, childhood and adolescence. Today's medicine however
profits from interventions in these very vital periods but we like to call it
scientific. The best of doctors, as Sir William Osler says is one who observes
a lot but interferes the least. There are many greats who understood the value
of compatibility with nature and condemned the battlefield approach against
disease and supposedly disease based pathogens like bacteria and viruses.
Today the microbiome project has proven the lie,
derived the fact that microbes and parasites are the most vital part of health,
and laid bare the consequences of interfering with them. The science of
epigenetics declares we are condemned to carry this damage for 14 generations
even if we stop today. We ourselves create the emergencies we then love to
treat in the name of "saving lives".
Unless we stop and allow the detoxification
process to begin anew by allowing the acute diseases to return chronic diseases
will be there to stay, complicating things more and more with each passing day.
The increasing rates of infertility and development of suicidal tendencies in
people are signs that the body is fast losing the capability to cope and seeks
to end the painful existence. When will these simple facts percolate to the
members of the profession? When will they stop the harm and start the healing
process?
