Crown Point IN Chiropractor shares story

Traditional medicine practiced in many countries and particularly among indigenous communities, start from the assumption that the doctor or the healer only needs to facilitate the healing process. There the doctor himself is viewed as a facilitator, not as a miracle maker. There the doctor as well as the patient knows that most ailments get better by themselves; many by the next morning. You will understand the wisdom contained in their view if you take a look at the way indigenous people in the southern parts of India regarded even a severe attack of cold in the rainy season. They used to say that it will heal in a week if you take medicine, but the curing will take about seven days if you do not take medicine. While this can’t be said in the case of all diseases, it is true in several cases. We should also pay attention to the complete medicalization of life. It happened so unexpectedly and so suddenly that we didn’t even notice it coming. Most of you perhaps remember a time in your lives when you were not preoccupied with diseases and disease producing germs everywhere. Just think of the change that has happened. Now if a family with small kids plans a trip for a couple of days, an essential component of their luggage will be a huge medicine box containing all sorts of pills and ointments. Most probably expert advice from their physician would have been sought beforehand as to the precautions they have to take and the medicines they have to carry with them. It was not like this in the past. Has all the care made diseases any less frequent? Has all the care and panic made us healthier? On the contrary, they have mad us more susceptible to fear and tension.

Just reflect on the medicine cabinet in a typical modern household. It is a novelty. It had not been there a couple of decades ago. Now people have become so paranoiac that they have become subservient to a complete medicalization of their lives. What people hear from their childhood is about the need for constant care and about the potential dangers that lurk in the corner. When they grow up and advance through their youthhood they become worried about the need a periodic medical check-up and an occasional thorough medical check-up. Companies make provisions for that. I am not suggesting that medical check-ups are to be done away with. They have their utility and occasionally a person is identified to be suffering from this or that. But think of the constant dread. Think of the transformation that happens to a person’s life. While such constant vigil can’t protect us from most of the diseases, they keep us forever subject to fear.

There are any number of scientists, experts, researchers and medical practitioners who alert us to the dangers of a complete medicalization of our lives. They try to convince their readers that the human body has miraculous self-healing potential. The basic idea behind all such studies is to enlighten people about the self-healing potential of the body. One specialist has this to say about it: After studying the human body and mind from all different ‘angles’ for almost two decades, it became very clear to me that we all have an unlimited capacity to heal and change. However, most of us have not learned yet how to access this self-healing power or even trust in such potential” (Schaub). Professor Frank Emmrich, head of the Institute for Clinical Immunology and Transfusion Medicine at the University of Leipzig also stresses the point that “the human body can heal itself.” He assures us that “regenerative processes can take place in any organ, even the brain, throughout a person’s life. Fortunately, there doesn’t seem to be a particular age limit. The body has its own repair mechanisms, which we simply hadn’t noticed before”.
