Can you get in trouble?
Is there an agency, association, parent or administration that could actually get you in trouble for doing what you believe is right for yourself, and your health?
Do you think for yourself?
Do you believe that you can make your own choices around your health?
Can this get you "in trouble?"
I was fascinated today when I was listening to a guest on a radio show I co-host with my wife. On our "Freedom For All" Blogtalk radio show, Jennifer and I listened in as our guest, a former RN and present proponent of Integrative Health, made a comment common for many close to the medical community.
She said that she could get "in trouble" for ever making claims of healing certain diseases.
This is true. I've heard it many times. Those of us in our society are not allowed to ever make claims of curing or healing anything, or else we will get in trouble with some invisible yet uber-power force in the medical community.
Yes, this would be the same community that pushes radiation and chemotherapy through our flesh and bone and medication through our bloodstream, perhaps not promising anything but alluding to a mainstream valid treatment, no matter how false and no matter how unsuccessful it has proven to be. I find it amazing and actually disgusting how this same medical power - faceless liars who protect their own interest over the interest of the people - would hold accountable anyone who doesn't cowtow to its authority, while the medical community itself is accountable to none.
Why can't they get "in trouble?" Yes, why can't they be held accountable to the countless deaths from poorly administered medication, the countless bodies destroyed by the only moneymaking option they provide for the likes of the big C - cancer? No, apparently they are too big to fail, having the ONLY answers for the public. And if the patient passes away or has a re-occurrence of a disease, then it's followed up with a collective-unconscious sigh, "Well, we did all we could."
This is unbelievable, when there exists this sliver of our society who does not buy into the Big-Pharma salute administered to a big-time pharmaceutical nation. This is unbelievable when compared to a whole other realm of our world that knows of complimentary solutions and alternative choices.
I have been privi to many such medical "miracles" ... though of course they aren't miracles as much as they are merely people who have taken their own health into their hands, looked to lifestyle changes in diet, detoxification and healing. Such people must be a menace to a medical community bent on having dulled and disillusioned sheep line up at the newest pill-pushing pharmacy on the block.
In my own story, a few years back I had a pinched nerve in my neck. Doesn't sound so bad, but imagine a constant shooting and stabbing pain that never went away for a month, even during sleep. I could imagine why some in pain do commit suicide. A life of constant pain is not liveable. I went to my doctor who wrote up a prescription for the pharmacy. Muscle relaxants mainly had me listless ... and still in pain. So the doctor considered the option being to create a bigger hole in the bone of my neck so the nerve didn't pinch as much. He gave me another prescription, with the stern "now you go get that prescription." I still remember his eyes. I looked through the doors of the pharmacy; I looked at the piece of paper on which he had scribbled some chemical name. I crumpled that piece of paper and threw it into the trash.
There must be another way. What makes this white-coat messiah the only option? With a mind opened for other answers, a friend suggested an alternative approach - network chiropractic. This simple technique, as gentle as a loving touch, sent messages to my central nervous system to relax the muscles, which in turn relieved the pinch of the nerve. A cause was found, and a symptom was eradicated.
I was HEALED. I was CURED.
Yes, ladies and gentlemen. I will say the unsayable. I will utter the unutterable. I will say the words no one else should be allowed to say. Healed and cured. Healed and cured. Never again has that nerve spoken up. Though I'm not promoting a certain type of modality here, nor destructing all of western medicine that does have its place in arenas such as post-emergency surgeries. I am, however, promoting a certain way of being. For all of us, we have the choices always. We can grab our power back from those who may not profit from us having it; we can know our bodies and listen for the solution that is sure and gentle; we can be centered in our truth.
And we can never be "in trouble" again.
