Doctors are great when you are bleeding from the eye, or get run over by a truck,
but generally, when you have a disease or a symptom, they offer little understanding
of the human body as it operates, and can do little to help you except offer a drug or a test, or when it comes down to it, a knife.

The next time you feel something in your body that does not seem right, would it not make sense to meditate on it and try to understand a potential cause?

When you are constipated for a week, yes, you will have skin problems and mood problems and a headache. That is your body imploring you to do something smart.

The doctor may give you a laxative, but you are much better off fasting for a day with water, then eating a small amount of brown rice and miso soup for a couple of days, making sure to chew well, and get plenty of exercise and water.

The cost of these drugs and tests and surgeries to our economy and environment is immense. It is a big part of our current problems.

If you have a life threatening emergency, call 911. Otherwise, look within.
