Today my husband had an appointment with his cardiologist. He has been on blood pressure medication, heart medication (which he will have to take for the rest of his life) and cholesterol lowering medication.
I recently have read many articles where people taking even 10 milligrams of cholesterol medications can have memory loss ranging from light to severe. My husband's memory loss falls somewhere in the range in between. It is disturbing to me that his cardiologist would raise the milligrams to 40 a day of one type of medication when he is also taking another medication that is 500 mgs. To me this is one milligram to many.
I understand doctors trying to keep people healthy but sometimes common sense and quality of life seems to me to be of great importance also.
Spiritual beings are inherently healthy by reason of the fact that the Spirit of you knows nothing about unhealthy. As spiritual beings, we have power and once we have trained ourselves to use that power, there will be no more need for medications of any kind, because we will all experience the wholeness that we already are.
Are we brainwashed? Each and every day we are bombarded with information about everything. If a new product comes on the market, whether a new health product, new shampoo, detergent, medication, we are bombarded continuously with information that tells us we have to have it or we have IT and need the medication.
Has the computer and TV age overwhelmed us with so much information that any ache, pain or other discomfort makes us run to our physicians to find out if we have THAT and can we have that new medication I read or heard about on television.
Our ancestors didn't have fancy medications so they did what they were taught to do by generations before them or by Native Americans they lived side by side with. Roots, herbs, plants, hell even saliva were used back in the day to keep people healthy (preventative medicine) or when they did come down with an ailment, most could be easily cured by digging up the nearest root or mashing the berries on the bush out in the yard.
We believe that progress has made us smarter. Yes it has, and no it hasn't. Our foods are over processed, we ingest animals as food that have been pumped full or antibiotics and other things that may be good for the animals but harmful to us.
The pharmaceutical companies will not rest until every human on the planet is taking a product that they created. Just like the oil tit, we must get off the medicine tit.
Andrew Weil and many others who have a background in medicine or were doctors themselves are beginning to turn to what our ancestors knew from the beginning. If we take care of ourselves and do things that keep us healthy, yoga, Qi Gong, pilates and many others, we won't may be able to wean ourselves off the medications that we all seem to be taking.
As healthy Spiritual Beings, we owe it to ourselves to visualize ourselves healthy, to find foods that aren't processed, to get out in nature and appreciate the green trees, the blue skies, smelling flowers and just letting nature know that we appreciate it. If we did more of these things, we would all become keepers of our planet.
Our Native American friends and indiginous tribes all knew that protecting the planet and only using what we need was the key to keeping our planet pure so that our children would have a planet to enjoy.
Both our health and that of the place we call home are in dire need of a change in attitude; a being different in the world so that we don't suddenly have to figure out if there is some place else to go because we have treated this place where we are right now so badly that it can no longer sustain us.
We have all seen the end of the world movies and maybe they have it mostly right. Anything that you appreciate and love will thrive and grow, that which you treat badly will fight back and since everything we do has consequences, we owe it to ourselves and future generations to take care of our home, our bodies and each other.
We are all in this together; we are one humongous family and it's time to treat each other with respect.
Happy Traveling
