I look at health slightly differently

 

People ask, how do we find a cure to obesity, how do we cure diabetes and how do we cure more serious things like heart disease and cancer.

My view is that we are sniffing up the wrong tree all together.

I believe we can all agree disease is a result of a dysfunction in the body, sure genetics play a part but honestly its much less than people really realise.

Over my personal journey of overcoming Ulcerative Colitis, a brain tumour and 3 major spinal surgeries before the age of 3 i noticed a lot about how health works.

Now i don’t believe i have ‘all’ the answers but i do believe that if we actually look at more underlying causes we actually have to worry less about ‘what’ disease is labelled.

Now, i know theres plenty of people that have lost loved ones and close friends to illness and it sucks.

What I’m championing here is an approach that is multifaceted and individualistic.

I was bounced from pillar to post in the conventional medicine world and it drove me crazy that none of the doctors really acknowledged the other ones expertise.

From the gastroenterologist who saw me for my gut, to being based to an endocrine specialist, then oncology etc.

No-one ever thought to ask ‘could all these issues be linked?’

in my eyes its CRAZY that people believe that your mind doesnt affect the body still.

literally 1000’s of studies show the link between chronic stress and the degeneration of the bodies tissues including the brain.

Its crazy that people hear the words ‘dementia’ or MS and just throw their hands up and accept their fate.

There are so many amazing people in this world that have done the ‘impossible’ with peoples health and i feel happy that i have met just a few.

So many are quick in the conventional world to shout ‘coincidence’, placebo or spontaneous remission.

Thats cool but does it actually help if you want to improve your own health.

Have we really become so disconnected from ourselves and nature that we don’t think that food, sleep, hydration and the right emotional environment can make even the smallest difference.

Im here because i questioned EVERYTHING i was told.

Conventional medicine kept me out of a wheelchair for my spine and saved my life with the tumour i had.

BUT being honest they were worse than bad when it come to the auto immune issue i had.

Following their advice i was 3 stone heavier than i am now, bone density was getting worse, my spleen and liver were suffering as a result of medication and i had zero energy.

Oh and i was told ill be on medication for life…

When i started to ASK different questions, i started to find different answers.

Fast forward and I’m 10 YEARS medication and symptom free and testing i run on myself shows no sign of illness.

I don’t say that to brag, i just want to raise the question of…

‘Are we just too trusting on a conventional medical system that being honest doesnt have great results.

Autoimmunity higher than ever
cancer going up
Depression going up
obesity going up
diabetes going up…

Not to forget, prescription drugs are the THIRD leading cause of death behind heart disease and cancer.

Something to consider.

TO wrap up, I’m not saying the healthcare system doesnt do a good job, it saved my life at least twice.

What I believe is that WE are using it in the wrong way.

If we take responsibility for our health and wellbeing instead of handing our power away to pills and potions, wed be much healthier in my eyes.

Just some evening thoughts.
