The fallacies of modern medicine.

 


 The fallacies of modern medicine.

Disease is dynamic reflecting the dynamism that is characteristic of the force that rules the body. The brand of medicine prevalent today refuses to see and acknowledge this dynamism. It prefers to be mechanical in its approach. This is the most drastic fallacy it suffers from. Consequently doctors are not able to see the disease and remain busy with the symptoms mistaking the efforts of the body to establish health to be the disease they ought to eradicate.

Disease expresses itself in totality. It affects the individual physically, mentally, morally and spiritually. Instead of seeing the whole picture, the doctors concentrate on the parts thinking they are separate issues that require different strategies. Thus the treatment complicates matters and causes untold suffering on the unfortunate being. Chronic disease and organ failures are the direct result of this fallacy.

The body is the doctor and the healer. All its actions are directed towards maintaining health and prolonging life. It depends upon inputs like nutrition, exercise, following hunger and sleep cycle, exposure to elements, and a clean and enabling environment. The doctors duty is to ensure the inputs and facilitate the healing process. The modern doctor concentrates on treating the healing process as disease.

Disease is multi layered. Encouraged by faulty lifestyle, wrong mentality and actions, and disease suppression in the hands of allopaths, it forms layer upon layer and the disease dives inwards instead of using the body's own intelligence to unravel outwards towards a cure. The doctor fails to know this dynamism known to healers who encounters these layers in every sick individual. Medicines given without understanding these layers requires stronger and stronger doses and ultimately the body can tolerate them no longer. This is reflected in the "anti microbial resistance" that is now a global public health concern.

Treatment is about gently nudging the body towards health using the inputs the body requires. Heroic medicine with its array of drugs, injections, vaccines, devices, invasive tests and surgery and the cut-slash-burn approach is the antithesis of what is needed. It has emerged as the most potent threat to health. Known as iatrogenic disease (diseases caused due to medical interventions) it is the number one killer today as per medical statisticians who are recording the outcome and sounding the alarm for decades.

A doctors duty is to ensure health. Instead we have doctors chasing targets and commissions. The industry tells them that their foremost duty is to ensure that the pharmaceutical industry grows and profits. They follow this dictum unmindful of the consequences that are reflected in the alarming growth of disease conditions and their incidence. The industry conveniently uses the rising disease graph to expand its business. It excels in the art of feeding upon its own failures.

Medicine is an art; the art of observation, experience, and achieving cures. The present system has converted it to an engineering subject. The human being is a dynamic self healing biological construct and a consciousness driven multi faceted entity. He has been reduced to a machine that needs to be manipulated by an army of medical personnel who are supposed to wage a constant war against it.

The $ 9 - 14 trillion dollar pharmaceutical industry grows and prospers because of the fallacies that it is steeped in. It is not going to let go and ensure its own demise. The only way to ensure health and well being is to turn away from it.

I will urge people to study the healing sciences of naturopathy, ayurveda, homeopathy, and unani to understand the concept of health and healing and apply them to their lives. Health is about a clean body and mind that enables the healing energy to cruise unhindered throughout the body and mind complex. Detoxification, nourishment, restoration, rectification, and education are the tools required to end the prevalent disease epidemics and ensure a healthy population.
