"Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them humanity cannot survive."
- Dalai Lama
We all need love and compassion. Not only do we need to receive these essentials, but we also need to be able to give them to other people. Without love and compassion, humanity and humility is not possible. I think we as individuals take a lot for granted. Some individuals take other people for granted and some do not. This is the difference between those who GIVE and those who TAKE. Do you do more GIVING or TAKING? Have you ever thought of that? In my G.O.D. chosen profession I give to the best of my ability to my patients. I believe that is the art of medicine. It is not about writing a prescription or discussing their blood results. It is about talking to people. A physician must be a people person. You have to enjoy, NO--love talking to your patients. Love, care, humility and compassion are the best qualities in a good physician.
Be careful what you hold on to as truth or fact. The world is changing. There is definitely a paradigm shift. Why is there an increase in prevalence of certain diseases like autism, cardiovascular disease, asthma, cancer and diabetes?
For example there is a 42 year old male with high cholesterol, and a low Vitamin D3. He has this documented by blood analysis. He is on the appropriate conventional medication. He also has a high GGT (a liver enzyme). He does not drink. Other liver enzymes are in normal range. Yet his particle size for the LDL is small,dense and can cause a stroke or heart attack even while taking a statin drug. His body is responding to environmental (Xenobiotic) stress. Is a disease really a disease? Or is everything we call disease really a dysfunction of the body related to toxins in the environment? There are toxins in our food, water, soil, air and everything around us. Maybe this patient needs a true metabolic detoxification.
In the next nine years there will be a shift in medicine. It has been said by Jeffrey Bland, PhD that by 2020 there will be no hospitals. I will not even discuss the reimbursement issue and medical plans. Most of us assume that predisposition to disease is in the genes. Then why does one identical twin get cancer and the other twin does not? If is it in the genes (you get half your genes from mother and half from your father), then identical twins should have the same genes and the same diseases. It is NOT about the genes, but is it about the genes being turned on and off by the environmental toxins. We live in a toxic world. We need to spend more money, time and energy on saving Mother Earth. This includes turning to some plants for the answers. The composition of your diet determines your health NOT disease. Where did that fruit come from? Was it sprayed with pesticides? What hormones have been injected in our foods? Or what antibiotics? How much heavy metals are in tuna, swordfish, crabs, lobsters and sushi? What about our water supply?
This new field is called Epigenetics. It is fascinating and exciting to hear knowledgeable speakers such as Dr. Bland invite us to change our thinking from what we were taught.
It truly comes back to the honeybees. Both the Queen Bee and the workers have the same genes. If they have the same genes, why is there only one Queen? It has to do with how she is fed. There is only one queen because she is the only one fed Royal Jelly. It is epigenetics. This allows for her modification to become the queen bee. Fascinating!!
Until tomorrow...
