There is a Time and a Place

More often than not, it is suggested among my inner circle that I reject the medical model.

So, do I? Absolutely not!

However, I do reject the misuse of medicinal intervention. I do think that the overuse of some interventions can result in more complications. In my book, The Mother Consciousness, I state that I have “reserved it’s expertise for emergencies only”.

Is that true?

Of course it is. A broken arm, a stroke, a heart attack, a bacterial infection, pneumonia… all constitute an emergency. If I were to experience any of these conditions, you better get me to an emergency room or doctor. The medical model does have life saving procedures that must be initiated; procedures that you must obtain to prevent further complications or worse, death.

However, I also understand that man is fallible and that the institution of medicine has presented itself as knowing more than the phenomenal body the Creator orchestrated. And that there are times when we do over treat, over medicate, over inject, over cut, over remove... because someone dictates that this is what you should do. At times this over treatment, too, can cause more complications or worse, death.

I encourage everyone to become proactive in their physical health, but that does not mean completely ignoring the medical model. We should be taking mindful steps towards optimal health and prevention of disease through diet, exercise, meditation or prayer, energy work, chiropractic care, and other alternative means. But in a state of emergency, you better seek medical intervention. Only once your situation becomes stable it is then reasonable to obtain additional services from your other alternative health practitioners.

There is a delicate balance of knowing when to intervene and when to allow the body to heal thyself. Is there a right way to proceed? No, this is an individual choice and we all have claim to choose when intervention is in our best interest...
