Sudden Disease and Disorders are Nutritional Imbalance Breakdowns!

by: Paul Meynell, Editor of Research Nutrition

In an article written by Paul Meynell, it is noted that Chinese doctors used to be paid to keep their patients well. If a patient became sick, the doctor could not send in any little monthly reminder till the patient was again on his feet. Then times changed and doctors began to advise their patients on how to stay healthy and when they became sick they gave them medicine. Again today times have changed; now you can neither pay your doctor to keep you well or to restore your health if you have a breakdown. Mr. Meynell shares these two quotes below to refresh our memories as to what has taken place over the years and both most certainly have merit.

"By training and social tradition, medicine has to do with disease and not with health. Medicine dedicates itself to the patching up of sickly bodies in the hope that physicians can offer relief from pain, possibly stop infection, and thereby salvage a few more years of impaired living for the otherwise doomed body."

"Drugs are far more effective in the dramatic acute conditions which are relatively rare than in the countless chronic ailments that account for so much misery in everyday life."

The message I receive from these two quotes is that our contemporary medical practitioner runs a wayside repair shop where bodies can be patched up to run a little longer. If anything serious is wrong the practitioner in charge promises nothing. Our civilization has seemed to come upon a roadblock with regard to the management of non-health. Perhaps, it is time that we begin to reflect back and see how far and in what direction we have journeyed and what we actually can do about departures from quality health.
