Just a passionate question.
First, I have to say that I understand the importance and role of science in our medical model. We are great at dianostic science, surgical techniques and life-saving methods. We have been on the receiving end of life saving drugs and methods and are grateful they are there. However, why is it we do not develop a more holistic method of care which includes reduction of stress, balance of the energy system, micronutrient managment, physical well-being programs, and care of the emotional self? With these things, a specific drug or treatment may have a much greater/quicker affect? Drugs may be required less or not at all....hmmm...
What I want to know from everyone is why do you think we do not look at the bigger picture of health and well-being like other cultures do? Why does a discovery like Terminalia Chebula or studies about glutathione, BITC, NAC and others get brushed aside and left unfunded and unstudied (understudied)? Why can a drug get pushed through quickly, fully funded, volunteers waiting, but not a natural substance which could have a far greater affect with less negatives?
Why will our insurance cover a $12,000 vest, but not acupunture, massage, Reiki, more indepth nutrition consultations which could very well prevent infections and create more health for our son, costing less down the road?
Why can't our children get trained in yogic breathing and receive beneficial acupucture treatments which keep mucus moving and relieve inflammation? What if our kids didn't need some of the drugs if a different approach was taken first.
Not trying to upset anyone...just really want to have research and more comprehensive options available for prevention and well-being. Wondering what others toss around in their heads as parents.
