Preventative Care

Time to put a little physical thought on this blog.

Just learned about an acquainance who has ovarian cancer the size of a football inside. Wow. Sobering news as she is only in her 50's.

Our body talks to us every day of our lives. Have you tuned into it's frequency yet? I know a incredible radio announcer that would be the perfect voice inside to announce what needs our body has. His voice is incredibly energetic and forward speaking. It's a voice that this woman needed.

So many in her group of friends just shun off the thought and action of taking care of their body. Man it's the only one we have for now. Why don't people heed the holistic information out there in preventative care? Why do we continue to look the other way and not honor our body's requests.

One of my theories is that we are as a society addicted to the medical model of taking care of our body. Addicted to the co-pays, addicted to the almighty doctor who is fed information through a funnel that only treats the symptoms.

I believe my theory is in a large way true. Just on my way to the airport a young man driving the shuttle was verbalizing his frustration over the way medicine treats you. For example not educating the patients on the side effects of medicine. In his case he was suffering from constipation. The doctor gave him some fiber...not a bad joice. One mistake...didn't tell him to increase his water intake. Result more constipation more pain.

Is that the word to describe it all...constipated minds?
