Is it time to ask: Is Western Medicine, really medicine?
When family is involved, is when the most fire is lit within me. Forgive me in advance for my anger that comes through here. I promise I end this with light. In transparency, anger was in part the fuel for what I do. Witnessing unnecessary suffering. Some of you know my story and how my father’s stroke a decade ago was my “Wake-Up” call, that put me on my own path to healing eczema, from which I had suffered badly for 30 years. A whole new career path in holistic health was initiated, that was accompanied by doors opening up to me that never existed before.
And now, another family member is contemplating what I would call, a barbaric, antiquated Western Medical treatment. A barbaric solution to a severe problem / symptom in her heart that was created by the medical industry itself. A perfect example of how this industry works. In other words, a highly toxic “something” was the cause (mentioning no names or I’ll get shadow banned), and now a “burning in her heart” is the solution in order to install a pace maker.
REALLY? I MEAN….REALLY?!
A wise chap called Albert Einstein once said: “No problem can be solved with the same level of consciousness that created it.”
Isn’t it time to switch gears, to a new level of consciousness, of thinking? It’s 2023 after all. And energy medicine is resurfacing. FAST.
My backstory: What was Western Medicine’s approach with my eczema? Steroid creams that have left permanent pigmentation on my skin, prescription moisturisers (containing toxic ingredients that should never applied to skin), and antibiotics when it got particularly bad, which destroy your gut microbiome, the very organ you want to heal with a skin condition – or any chronic inflammatory condition for that matter. (Antibiotics are useful in emergencies of course.) All of these treatments were short-term, harmful, toxic, and near-on useless.
And all ignore ENTIRELY the CAUSE of the eczema.
Holistic approach to eczema? Reduce / eradicate chronic inflammation, address the cause, heal the gut, clean the liver. => LONGTERM RESULTS.
Getting rid of my own eczema with an anti-inflammatory protocol put me on the path to become a health coach / mentor / author / speaker – with a focus on chronic inflammation. Or rather, ridding the body of it – across every pathway. Not just nutrition, but addressing all kinds of toxins the body becomes subjected to. That is what chronic inflammation is – toxicity and/or chronic stress. (Simply.) It’s your immune system’s reaction to a physical or perceived threat.
Chronic inflammation underlies chronic illness – including cancer.
Why isn’t every doctor testing for chronic inflammation, and determining the root cause of symptoms, as functional / naturopathic medicine does?
For 11 years now, I’ve been investigating, researching, interviewing pioneers in holistic health along with those who reverse the “irreversible” and cure the “incurable,” revealing what it took for them to do it. And I help people with this.
The human body is a phenomenally powerful self-healing machine.
On my own journey, I also uncovered the “root cause” if you will, of the origins of Western Medicine. It’s not pretty. Not enough space here. For another day. But it’s a very useful history to anyone if you are to be the end user of the medical system. Let’s just say, prior to 1910 there existed a myriad of natural approaches to medicine – all of which powered up the body’s innate healing abilities. These approaches to medicine were eradicated, on purpose, and the course material was changed that was taught to doctors and it has remained that way for over a century.
More examples other than eczema, of how Western “Medicine” approaches “diseases” aka chronic symptoms of an underlying cause. Consider symptoms as warning lights on your car dashboard. Would you take your car to a mechanic to address the cause, or to an electrician to have the light rewired so it stops flashing? Not understanding why symptoms are presented to as is, in my opinion, a MAJOR flaw in the conventional system, and is missing the entire point as to why the body has become sick.
“Graves Disease” aka overactive thyroid: Standard of care in Western “Medicine”: Irradiate (destroy!!) the thyroid and prescribe hormones for the remainder of one’s life – that also cause harm. Function Medicine approach: Detoxify the body, determine and address the cause, heal the gut, refuel the body across every angle. (Simply put). No removal of thyroid, no reason to destroy. Back to balance. Result? Vitality.
(Important) side note: The SCIENCE of Epigenetics tells us that it’s the ENVIRONMENT in the body that signals the health of our cells, not the genes that trigger illness – in 95-98% of the population. AND the body will heal anything provided we create an environment conducive to healing. Less than 5% of the population are born with “defective” genes. This puts us in the driving seat. This is actual science.
Cancer.
I researched this subject thoroughly in 2015 when I lost 3 friends to cancer in the space of a year. Much like my father’s easily avoidable stroke, I knew my friends didn’t have to die. I followed my intuition, my “inner knowing.”
Western Medicine approach: Chemotherapy (derived from mustard gas in the 1st and 2nd world wars, known to cause cancer and annihilate the immune system), radiation (known to cause cancer and annihilate the immune system) and/or surgery (known to weaken the immune system). Do any of these even consider the root cause? No. Even the latest immunotherapy still doesn’t address the cause, although significantly better.
Naturopathic / Functional / Holistic Medicine: (Providing there is time): Determine and address cause, allow the body to heal itself. Detoxify the body across every possible pathway, and refuel with every essential cell fuel. Sounds simple doesn’t it? Research people who reverse cancer holistically and you’ll discover a whole new definition of cancer. Some say it is a “Toxicity & Deficiency of essential cell fuels.” This is a different level of thinking – of consciousness. My friend Mark Restivo has been sharing his recent journey of reversing cancer, and he, too, has a very different definition. I will be interviewing him soon, he is an inspiration to many and I am excited to share.
Cancer is an INDUSTRY. And a highly profitable one at that. And now we have a surge of “turbo cancers” due to the same reason my family member’s heart is now ..broken, physically.
The body does not get sick because of a chemotherapy deficiency nor any kind of pharmaceutical drug deficiency. It’s not that shit.
Some say “cancer saved my life.” A different level of thinking.
In Western “Medicine” every chronic illness is a recurring revenue stream for Pharma – with a “pill for an ill.” Leading to a “pill for a pill” – after new symptoms are created from the harm of the first drugs prescribed. Western Medicine is a business. Entangled with conflicts of interest with 3 letter organisations in America, and Europe, governments. It’s not about health. It’s a sick-care / disease and symptoms maintenance monopolised business – and extraordinarily profitable and powerful. Phenomenal and virtually unbeatable in emergencies and traumatic injury recovery, of course.
On a LIGHTER note: I continue to quite simply AMAZED at how incredible the human body is at healing itself. When I witness the seemingly miraculous – I am reminded how powerful we are.
Whether it’s done with one’s own healing path of exploring every angle of healing and natural medicine with trial and error, or maybe in one fell swoop by attending a Dr Joe Dispenza retreat where people are quite literally eradicating the most advanced cancers and a myriad of other serious “incurable illnesses” near-on spontaneously.
How? By tapping into their true power. The power we all have. By connecting with the quantum field. To become pure consciousness. Pure love. Does Dr Joe heal people? Absolutely not. Everyone who attends and embodies the principles, and goes deep into meditation – they do it themselves. And we can all do that. I’ve written up on two retreats on my site and also here.
And we have incredible advances in certain forms of technology such as quantum devices, energy medicine, bio-resonance, vibrational healing, kinesiology, phenomenal supplements, even stem cell patches I mentioned last week – and SO MUCH MORE!!
Can we all collectively decide to call Western Medicine, Emergency Medicine, and other forms of natural medicine, Medicine? (NOT alternative – that term is a misnomer.)
If necessary, why not use Western Medicine to stay alive as we investigate the cause and rebalance? Functional medicine and naturopathic medicine does this so well. We all know what happens with chronic use of drugs => Deterioration of health and it’s not unusual to end up on a cocktail of drugs in a care home spending 5,000 pounds a month to stay alive. More personal exposure there.
We are so much better than that. So. Much. Better.
