“The Cure Lies Within”
Systems of medicine like bio-medicine, or western medicine, leave the
patient out of the model; discounting the individual, and instead
placing all the responsibility on the therapy/medication/surgery.
Even holistic systems of medicine, such as Chinese Medicine, Ayurvedic
medicine, and Native American Healing, that treat the patient instead of
the disease, symptom or complaint, may be practiced in such a way, as to
remove the patient from the center of focus. This happens when the
practitioner simply uses one or more natural methods, but
allopathically, or symptomatically.
It must be the intention of every practitioner, to see the whole
patient, and to look to the root(s) of their problem/imbalance. They
must also engage the patient in the treatment; making them take
responsibility for recognizing what they were and/or were not doing to
create the imbalance, and what they must do or not do to obtain
health/balance.
This is very important where chronic diseases/problems exist. As is in
any relationship, “it takes two to tango.” When patients are passively
awaiting a cure; looking for someone to fix them, they leave out one of
the most important components of cure…themselves.
Look at the growing number of therapies/treatments. Many of them are
valid in some respect; getting results to some degree. Unfortunately,
some are shams, but that is a topic for another show. The point is, with
an always-growing number of approaches, how can it be, that so many
different methods can be effective? The two things they have in common
is the patient, and the patient-practitioner relationship. More time
must be spent understanding this dynamic of the healing process.
Chinese medicine has understood for centuries, the power of the mind for
both the patient AND the practitioner. The patient must have a positive
attitude and outlook, and must employ principles to strengthen their
“righteous qi” to ward-off disease. The practitioner must understand the
patient’s imbalance and use their intention to change it. They must
desire or affect change…almost as if they are willing the patient to get
better. Why do you think that many of the wealthiest people are
positive, self-assured, and motivated or great motivators? Maybe your
healthcare practitioner should have these same attributes…and you should
too. Remember, health is wealth (and wealth is health).
In a future article, I will address the mind and how it can get in our
way where our success and health are concerned.
