I sometimes get requests for advice on how to approach medical problems. I am not the person to ask. Each person is unique and effective diagnosis and treatment can be highly complex.
Here are some thoughts on what I do for myself.
First, I believe that it is important to achieve intellectual mastery of any situation. I can seek help from a doctor, nurse practitioner or nutritionist. I can get advice or information on a wide number of recommended tests and other sources of intelligence. I can hear numerous options for treatments and therapies from medical professionals or people who have been through a similar situation. However, unless I am not able to function, I am responsible for where I invest my attention, time and money. What experts or experienced patients offer is input. I research, verify, decide. I get multiple opinions from multiple points of view. I invest the time and do as much legwork as possible.
When faced with a long list of conflicting options, I pray to help me sort through what is important, what I want to do. I once spent a decade generally unable to seek medical assistance. I was amazed to discover how many things sorted themselves out with a little help from old time recipes which I did because that was all I could do. I found that some of my physical problems were energetic problems and that healing at the energetic level was the solution. However, if I needed antibiotics or dislocated my shoulder, I headed into the local clinic as quickly as possible.
Finding the best doctor or other medical professional for me is important. How do I do it? Research, seeking references. It all takes leg work.
That is why it is so hard to figure out what to do when the problem is upon me. So I try to learn about health and establish sources as I go, before I need to turn to them for advice or help. I have found a rich supply of documentaries, newsletters and on line websites that inform if I will screen them carefully. Whether established institutions or online resources we are swimming in a sea of complexity with lots of disinformation. Sorting through it is a time consuming job. It can be done, particularly if you find the sources you can trust.
One of my favorite stories about the search to find the right doctor, is Suzanne Sommers Knockout.
Anything I can do to reduce general toxicity and build up my immune system helps my body address whatever specific problem is upon me. Taking continuous action to detox and strengthen my immune system is always on my calendar.
I have been a member of Samaritan Ministries for several years and have a catastrophic health care policy from AAA in the case of a car or travel accident.
One of the most amazing journeys of anyone I have ever heard of “trying everything” is Anita Moorjani Dying to be Me. Moorjani’s story is a good example of why I feel that fear of death is the first and most important disease to prevent.
In a sense, I believe that God is my doctor and everyone else is either trying to help or looking for a piece of the pie.
