The true healers of disease
Saturday, February 3rd, 2007The man known as the father of medicine is quoted as saying, “Natural forces within us are the true healers of disease.” He also said, “It is more important to know what sort of person has a disease than to know what sort of disease a person has.”
That was Hippocrates, who walked upon the planet four or five hundred years before another famous healer named Jesus showed up. Jesus is said to have talked about healing forces of divine love inside every one of us that miraculously make us healthy. This kind of talk was apparently not popular with certain leaders of that era. I guess some things never change.
In the intervening two thousand years, physicians pretty much forgot Hippocrates’ advice about studying the person, replacing it with a fascination for disease. Disorders of every variety have been amply described, named, treated, defeated, rediscovered, renamed, and so on. The rationale behind it all is the notion that disease eradication is a noble and achievable goal that results in better health. Is this true? What would Hippocrates do?
If health is what we are after, perhaps we should build up our natural healing forces as a top priority. Battling disease in order to gain health is like flailing against the walls of a dark closet with a flashlight to defeat the darkness. Turn on the flashlight, the darkness disappears without a fight. Where to? It just vanishes. And what of so-called diseases in the body when health is powered up, do those vanish too? Yes, although some conspiracy theorists believe old diseases are loaded into black helicopters at midnight and flown to secret government laboratories in Maryland to be stored in freezers for possible future use.
Speaking of secrets, there is one secret about disease your doctor probably never told you. Perhaps because it was never properly explained in med school, or else it was buried by the memorization of a jillion symptoms and diseases. This is the secret: disease has only one cause. Just one. Wonder what it is? Abnormal cell function.
Chiropractors prepare for 2007 Van Halen tour with David Lee Roth
Friday, February 2nd, 2007Rumors have been circulating for quite some time now that Van Halen would be reuniting with David Lee Roth in the near future. As it turns out, the rumors are true. Van Halen officially announced on their web site yesterday (February 2, 2007) that the band would be reuniting with Diamond Dave (David Lee Roth) for a 2007 North American summer tour. This author has not attended a Van Halen concert since a Madison Square Garden appearance in New York City, back in the early 1980s. Van Halen’s announcement to reunite with David Lee Roth and tour America is a mammoth event, to say the least. Specific dates have not yet been named but the band is planning to do a 40 city tour of the country. It will be the first time since 1984 that David Lee Roth will be performing on the road with the band. Eddie Van Halen’s son Wolfgang (age 15) will be replacing original bass guitarist Michael Anthony. Van Halen is expected to be inducted into the Rock ‘n Roll Hall of Fame at a ceremony in New York on March 12, 2007.
