Middle way to health

Recently I had a bad recurring headache. I decided that before going to the doctor I would do everything possible to heal myself. I drank more water with plenty of vitamin C. Went to the sauna for a long time, drinking plenty and plenty of water to help keep me rehydrated while I was detoxifying myself.

I ate even more fruits and vegetables to help in the detoxification process. I stopped using a hair dye – better to be healthy with gray hair. I drank more tea and in general did everything possible to detoxify myself.

Of course the most important detoxification was to get rid of stress through meditation and self hypnosis. Among the other thing I did to rid the effects of stress: the first day of healing myself was to watch some funny movies (A la Norman Cousins). This too helped a huge amount and I have not had that headache any more.

I had decided that if the headaches continued for a month or got worse I would go to my doctor. The reasons I wanted to avoid the doctor include:

  • We don’t have a single payer health system and most people who have insurance , like me, have a high deductible. And off course many Americans don’t have any insurance at all.
  • Because our society is so litigious, doctors have to order so many tests. These tests have their own dangers (radiation, being cut and so on).  Moreover, the tests give false positives leading to more unneeded tests and false negatives leading to false reassurance.
  • It would take me a few weeks to get an appointment with my doctor. It made sense to wait and see if I could heal myself and if not I would go and see my physician by just waiting without an appointment.

The point is that if I could not have healed myself through my detoxification of body/mind/soul/spirit I would have gone to my doctor and used all the wonderful power of Western medicine.
