Just the other day I was in the waiting room with a new patient
who told me she wanted to get rid of her Cholesterol. She
scrunched up her nose when she said it. “Cholesterol”, you know
that evil stuff that gives you heart disease.
The very word “CHOLESTEROL” is like a curse word in America
today.
It's funny to me because I'm a Doctor and I know that you cannot
live without Cholesterol.
Cholesterol is made by almost every cell in the body and is an
essential part of the healing process.
In fact your brain is mostly Cholesterol.
No Cholesterol = you're dead.
But it's not surprising that it has a bad rap. Most people are under the influence of the diet-heart myth.
It's not to say that diet isn't an essential part of overall
Health, but to isolate heart disease to diet as the predominate
single cause is ridiculous.
In Chinese medicine there is so much to heart health. Chinese
Medicine even bridges the emotional gap that Western Medicine
won't touch. To that school of medicine the heart is just a
pump of bodily fluids. We all know that it’s not that simple, but
the flash of technology and the latest and greatest medicine on
the market that some gigantic corporation wants you to swallow
wins out most of the time over common sense and listening to
your own body.
Consider how many people you know that take a medicine with a
serious adverse effect like nausea, diarrhea, or migraines but
they keep taking it because the doctor told them to.
I'm sure we all know at least one.
Do you realize that as a practitioner of Chinese Medicine in
America, if I was to give you a medicine that had a single side
effect, even if it was only bad breath, do you know how fast
that would be criticized by the popular medicine today.
And yet it's perfectly OK for other doctors to POISON my
patient's body and mind, leaving them even sicker and more
fearful, without any visible benefit.
What's worse is that these patients are too afraid to try
anything but what the Western physician prescribes because they
are held hostage by the fear of becoming even sicker or
even ‘deader’ if you try anything else. (Yes I said DEADER,
you'd think that was possible if you listened to these guys)
If having your life threatened wasn't enough, they really drive
the FEAR into you by telling you that your insurance coverage
will be gone if you don't do everything they say. Now it goes
beyond just killing you, they are going to stick you with an
even bigger bill and take your life savings or the food right
out of your children's mouths. Criminal.
I face this garbage every day. If you only knew how much of what
I do is to just reverse the “healing” done by other “Doctors”
with good intentions. Most of the time their “Good Intentions”
are only to fatten their own wallet by prescribing the
latest “Cholesterol Killer”. Insane!
Is it any wonder that a drug designed to affect the balance of
cholesterol in your body also makes you nauseous. That's like
taking the salt out of the ocean to make it taste better. That
won't work, it's not the way to find balance.
Balance comes from looking at the whole she-bang, you as a
person, a person that has habits and favorite foods or gets
excited at the football game. A physician MUST look at the
basic unit of health - the person - and bring that person into
balance to get any beneficial lasting result from any sort of
treatment.
Being a Healer means treating the person. What happens today is
that the doctors try to treat diseases that have people, it
doesn't work that way.
As a doctor I don't heal you. In truth, no doctor can heal you;
they can only work on behalf of that healing force that comes
from you by teaching you and showing you a different way.
Healing and staying healthy is what should be taught, education isn’t the key to everything. Without that basic knowledge of how to increase
the healing energy in your own body your life will fade
quickly and be cut tragically short.
