Western Medicine

Opioids, Pain Management and Natural Alternatives 

by 8 Comments

Western medicine strives to maintain the stranglehold it has built around the topic of health.  But the cracks in the foundation are becoming more and more apparent.  While there are many great aspects of Western medicine, there are also some very dark corners as well.

One area it shines in is with dealing with pain. For example, while we aimed for a natural, physiologic birth, my wife’s pregnancy involved back labor and after fighting through that for a while, she opted for taking pain medication. She made the right call for herself at the time. read more

When High Tech is Not Scientific

by 2 Comments

An insidious confusion of terms is what is preventing most people from having greater health and happiness. After noodling around this area for some time, I have finally figured out the root. It is the confusion between science and technology. While these two are certainly related, they are NOT the same thing.

Science is defined as: “the intellectual and practical activity encompassing the systematic study of the structure and behavior of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment.” Science is a methodology and how it is studied and used is called the scientific method. As a method, for understanding how things work, there may not be any better. (Though this doesn’t mean it isn’t without flaws). read more

Thorazine and Senile Agitation

by Leave a Comment

I stumbled across these old ads for thorazine, a tradename for the drug chlorpromazine.

From Wikipedia:

“It is primarily used to treat psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia. Other uses include the treatment of bipolar disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, nausea and vomiting, anxiety before surgery, and hiccups that do not improve following other measures.”

And if you look at old ads it wasn’t just for that, but also for senile agitation. read more

Orangutans Use Topical Medicinal Plants

by Leave a Comment

We’re not the only ones to use plants.

I came across this recent news story. The Sun described it as:

“CURE-IOUS GEORGE Orangutans may be secret medical geniuses as NEW footage reveals great apes applying their own mysterious medicine”

A little over the top, right?

They said that, “ORANGUTANS may have secret medical knowledge that most humans don’t know about, after great apes were filmed turning plants into ointment to soothe their aches and pains.” read more

Malaria Herbs (Artemisinin and Tongkat Ali)

by 1 Comment

As I was preparing for traveling to the Amazon there was a whole list of packing supplies and preliminary steps to follow.

One of these had to do with contracting malaria. Specifically, they said:

“The rainforest region we will be visiting has a history of malaria, and we recommend that each participant take preventative medicine. Prescription Malarone has proven most effective without strong side effects, and the herbal tincture Artemisia (Wormwood) is a good option.” read more

The Value of Western Medicine

by 1 Comment

As much as the Western Medical model is broken there are certainly some good aspects to it.

In broad generalizations I would say that:

1) Western Medicine is absolutely great in acute conditions and can be the best option for saving lives.

2) Western Medicine is pretty horrible in chronic conditions and, in my opinion, is often harming lives, sometimes killing people directly (i.e. iatrogenic deaths). read more

The Rise of Scientific Medicine

by 2 Comments

hermetic healingThere are many people these days that believe that the current medical paradigm has existed as is for many, many years before they themselves were conceived. It is true that the modern doctor and his healthcare cohorts have indeed been around for a few hundred years but to be the primary modality on the block only occurred about a century ago. Here is a short quip about the institutionalization of our modern medical system in the 20th Century (bolding added): read more

Immunity

by 12 Comments

virusWhat is Healthy Immunity?

We all long to be healthy. No one enjoys being sick or injured. Enjoyment is never the issue here. So it is of utmost importance to have an immune system working at the highest levels.

So what does a healthy one look like? Well, for starters it means sickness doesn’t take place, like ever. Our culture thinks that being sick is normal, it is not, it is actually the opposite. Being sick is falling out of normal operating parameters. The process and symptoms we experience in sickness are the body’s efforts to bring us back to those parameters. Mind you that these parameters are constantly changing depending on the environment (weather, activity, heat, cold, dryness, dampness, social interactions, plants, air quality, soil quality found in our food, types of food, time of day, etc.). But when viewed in that light, being sick is not a bad thing. It isa fallback mechanism to reorient ourselves with the environmental conditions we live it. Thinking otherwise can often hinder the process of healing. read more
