Preventive Medicine and wellness
Prevention is always the best solution.
Conventional Western medicine is organized around the Theory of Diseases, which believes that a person becomes sick because he or she contracts a disease. In this model, each disease is seen as an independent entity which can be fully understood without regard to the person it afflicts or the environment in which it occurs. Conventional treatments are treatments of diseases, not of people.
All alternative systems of healing, ancient or modern, share one common characteristic which separates them from conventional Western medicine. They all approach sickness as a dynamic event in the life of an individual, a problem of balance and relationship, the result of disharmony between the sick person and his or her environment. This approach to understanding illness is called biographical.
Many of these disturbances originate, almost entirely, with dietary, environmental or social conditions. Although the media are full of stories about "cancer genes", for example, the scientific evidence is that greater than 80% of cancers are environmentally induced.
The most of all positive change starts with a collection of individuals who passionately understand that circumstances can be transformed for the good of many. Litter. Seat belts. Smoking. Women’s rights. Civil rights. No matter how petty or profound the cause, it takes a group of people who are willing to take action and stay the course until the culture advances. But also some academic rituality in considering what are relevant themes and methods, or some corporative actions by health operators and professionals may damage people health doing, or not doing, some things.
