Self Help Self Healing

Self healing in narrow terms would be strictly using your internal natural abilities to heal but in the broader sense would be using internal abilities plus both conventional and alternative therapies.

"In December 2008, the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) and the National Center for Health Statistics (part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) released new fndings on Americans’ use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). The fndings are from the 2007 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS), an annual in-person survey of Americans regarding their health and illness related experiences."

In general, alternative medicine makes much better use of the natural tools and is more affordable. The spectrum of alternative medical arts range from ancient systems such as Acupuncture, Ayurveda and Yoga to the younger Chiropractic, Homeopathic Remedies, as well as, many less known arts. Most of these arts were founded long before the advent of our technology so their cures are usually simpler, based in nature and less offensive to the body. You also have a body of non medical but very useful practices such as altered states, dreams, home remedies, folk medicine, energy and prayer healing. Hidden in these arts are many simple common sense techniques you can use to improve your health and speed your healing plus in some cases heal what technology could not. There is also an opportunity to grow mentally and spiritually from your experience. The more you participate in your wellness the more you will take away from the experience.

Knowledge is the key to discover new doors which lead to a better place. Knowing how you function enables you to accomplish healing well beyond the understanding of people in general. Hope then comes from feeling empowered and expecting to improve.

There is an almost unlimited amount of resources available for healing but first you must understand how things work, or you will wander lost in a sea of misunderstandings. A map, a chart or the right understanding, so to speak, can lead you quickly to the resources best matched to your needs which can produce the quickest healing. Discovering the right tools will make a dramatic difference in your healing process. Consistently using the right tools based in expectations of better experiences will produce the self help self healing experience.

Healthcare Reform

It would be good to see real reform however the present system is based upon a false premise. We pay doctors when we are sick so the entire medical model is built upon keeping us between sick but functional and death. It would make more sense to pay the doctors when we are well and stop paying them when we are sick then the incentive is to keep you well. Real reform must deal with this problem but I do not see this happening any time soon so I have moved my thoughts to My Page .
