Hospital vs. Wellness Center

[anonymous]

In some ways, today's medicine is more advanced than ever before. Technologically speaking, I suppose thats true. In some ways, however, we've gone so far back in time we might as well be paddling through the primordial ooze. Some of today's medicine treats symptoms, and some treats the problems directly. The main thing we've left out is treating the body and mind. Pills and shots can take away the pain, even take away the problem, but they cant give us the strength we need to heal. We rely on time for that, when there are things that can be done to help the psyche. What makes the body work? the mind.For those of you that read many books... Im sure ive screwed up the explanation pretty badly.Find and read the book by Aldous Huxley, called <b>Island</b>. Once you're less than half way through, you'll understand what I'm talking about. It is a very philosophical fiction book, with many very NON-fiction concepts and ideas. Read it. Im not trying to promote the book, I'm trying to promote the content of the book. If you dont want to buy it at a bookstore, go to a library.Inspired,Jason wCF

Thank you for sharing this info. I do agree with you and I would like to read this book too. There are many wellness wellbeing books out there. I feel Prayer and going to a place or worship is very important especially through tough times.The more healthy minded days the stronger we can weather the storms. We can be well balanced in our minds and that is half the battlePEACE

Jason ,I definitely agree w/ you. I wish that there more doctors (or any) that had a real clear understanding of both eastern and western medicine, wouldn't it be wonderful to have a real integrative cf doctor. I feel like my CF doctors simply give me the harsh antibiotics, and tell me to drink milkshakes and take ADEKs, but never give a thought to any kind of advances in alternative therapies, or even to any therapies that aren't straight antibiotics. For example whenever something exciting comes about, like the Curcumin thing, its like you are supposed be happy, but the "Doctors advise patients not to take curcumin until testing has been blah blah blah..." and when does that happen!There is so much more out there, and i truly believe that your health depends on every facet of your body working to its fullest potential, and most straight arrow cf docs only look at one aspect of the body....but the eastern docs or integrative docs dont know NEARLY enough about cf!!
