I’d like to offer some useful information to help our readers discern what good health care is about.

Health-care does not mean that every imbalance requires an MRI, expensive medications and surgery.  Conversly banishing all invasive procedures, medications and all physicians as some in the alternative health care field would have you believe isn’t the solution either. Holistic health-care does not mean that you become a Luddite, a tree hugger or rely solely on psychic powers.

An integrative medicinal approach to health means approaching health issues with the least invasive procedure and gradually progressing to more invasive procedures after careful assessment allowing for time. Integrative medicine uses all possible means available to assess and treat a person.  Assesment requires questioning, observation, intuition, and tests.  Treatment may begin with relaxation exercises through energy medicine, reiki, nutriments, medications and finally operations.

Did you know that Traditional Chinese Medicine works in this manner?  As a matter of fact, using accupuncture in TCM is one of the most invasive procedures a practioner can do .  A true practitioner begins with non-invasive procedures such as diet and exercise then continues on to herbs, massage and finally accupuncture.  Here in the west, we go “straight for the kill”.  We suffer from “getter dun syndrome”, which doesn’t account for the elegance of our biology and physiology.

We suffer from industrial age thinking.  When something falls apart, we break it down to its smallest pieces, fix the pieces or replace them, then put it back together again.  Henry Ford helped develop an efficient way to make cars, he also created the specialist. Now we have specialists for different parts of our bodies and lives.   Our thinking is wrong.  Our bodies are not machines.  They are biological intelligent organisms.  A machine may mimic the body, a computer may mimic the brain, not the other way around.  Our approach to health care shouldn’t mimic a body shop.  Unfortunately our current system of “disease-care” functions in this exact manner.

I recently read an excellent blog post by Dr. Andrew Weil about how our healthcare industrial complex has subverted the elegence of our biology and created high tech solutions with frightening names for common ailments that require simple lifestyle changes.

Integrative medicine allows for the elegance of our body/mind complex.  Your health and lack of health is a whole intelligent system.   Our disease care system would have you think otherwise.

First things first, we are not having a discussion about health-care in America, we are having a discussion about disease-care.

If you want health-care, the question is how empowered are you to take matters in to your own hands? The issue is health-care, not insurance, not bottom line, not how much it costs to have procedures done to you once you’ve gotten ill or had an accident.

What kind of insurance policy to you have in life to promote your own health-care?

These are the basic insurance policies you need for your health.

1. Education
Do you educate yourself about your body and its needs? Did you know that 75% of all Americans cannot name and locate their organs? Did you know that 43% of Americans suffer from common gastro-intestinal disorders? We are talking constipation, abdominal pain or discomfort and bloating. Did you know that most of these are easily rectified with simple dietary changes, yet are the beginning of many diseases?

2. Exercise
Do you actually take the time to exercise? You don’t need run marathons but you do need to move every day. Our bodies are built to move. We are not meant to be sedentary and automate every action. Throw away your remote controls America at least for turning on and off the TV and changing the channels. Don’t look for the closest spot, just park and walk. I know most of my readers are beyond the basics but this is the message we should be hearing about health-care, not about violence at town hall meetings.

3. Rest, Relaxation and Sleep
Did you know that sleep and sleep-related problems play a role in a large number of human disorders and affect almost every field of medicine? For example, problems like stroke and asthma attacks tend to occur more frequently during the night and early morning, perhaps due to changes in hormones, heart rate, and other characteristics associated with sleep. Sleep also affects some kinds of epilepsy in complex ways.

Overworking, over worrying and stressful lives help create sleep dis-functions. Create a practice during your day to dump, or download the problems and bring your mind to a still point.

4. Cleansing programs
You wash the outside of your body everyday but have you given thought to the insides?
How your body processes your food is more important than what you put into it. Yes it is important to provide your body with clean food, water and nutrients. But if your body is not processing the things you put in it, you might as well be adding clean water to mud. You still get mud.

These are the first 4 steps and there are many more.

Start with this type of insurance policy. This type of health-care will eliminate 75% of all diseases. Unfortunately this is not part of our political discussion. Demand of yourself that you will create your own health-care policy and stick to it. Perhaps if each of us as individuals maintain ourselves then we can say good bye to expensive treatments to treat simple issues. Our current disease-care system will shrink and become affordable.

Cassadega is a spiritualist camp in central Florida.  Last night I went to a healing service at the temple in Cassadega, where I witnessed a spontaneous healing.  A man who had been in a car accident and was completely skeptical received a healing.  He had walked in with a cane and it was obvious that he was in pain every time he moved.  The healer, who was conducting the service, layed his hands on this man.  Within 5 minutes the man was moving without pain.  He was able to touch his toes and walked away without the cane. Most of the people in the temple had seen or heard testimonials of spontaneous healings and had no doubts about it happening that night.  They had become members of the same tribe, with similar thought forms about healing.
Our latest thought form about disease is the role of DNA in healing and health.  As of this time, most people believe that if you have the genetic code for a disease then it becomes your destiny to have the disease.

Here’s what Dr. Dean Ornish has to say about this topic.  Followed by a Q & A about tribal thought forms and spontaneous healing.

Here are some of the most common questions about how quickly healing can happen.

Q. Is speed healing and spontaneous remission of any disease possible?

A. Yes it is possible.

Q. So why doesn’t it happen all the time and why do we still have people suffering?

A. You can only heal as quickly as the slowest member of your tribe.

Q. I don’t understand, what you mean by that?

A. You can only heal as quickly as the slowest member of your tribe, means that the belief system of your tribe moderates how quickly anyone can recover from any sort of disease.  If your tribe believes that certain viruses, such as herpes, will live in your body forever then only the rare individual will break that thought form and remove the virus from their blood stream.  Your belief system about health is given to you by your tribe.

Q.  What do you mean about tribe?  I thought we left tribal living ages ago.

A. As a human being there will always be a need for you to bond to a tribe. The tribe is needed for survival.  Remember the Simon & Garfunkle tune, “I am a rock, I am an island”?  A human being cannot thrive in that sort of environment.  Your tribe is your family, family of choice,  co-workers, church members, facebook friends & groups, twitter groups, volunteer causes.  You are a member of each of these tribes.  Each of these tribes has its own uniqe set of rules on how an individual within that tribe heals.

Q. Can you give any examples of healing and tribal thinking?

A. Of course, let’s say someone is a member of the Pentacostal Church or Pentacostal Tribe in my terminology.  Not only is that person a member of that tribe, but they work in the tribe offices, was educated at the tribe school and all their family and friends are members of that tribe.  They also limit their entertainment to only tribe approved entertainment.  That person has no doubt that healing can take place in an instant, with Divine Intervention.  This person probably knows more people who have had speed healings and spontaneous remissions than the average person.

Most of us belong to many different tribes with many different thoughts about how long it takes to heal from any given illness or disease. We gather information from other friends, ask for second opinions from physicians, learn the process of every disease before we decide how long it will take to cure whatever is ailing us.  So if someone within your tribe is completely convinced that it takes a long time to cure something then the tribe’s healing process slows down to that persons pace of healing.  Let’s say that there is another person in your tribe is absolutely certain that spontaneous remission is possible then the tribe’s healing process speeds up to their thinking.

Spontaneous remissions and speed healings are possible, I’ve seen it happen and so have members of my tribe.  Want to join it?
