A Modern History of Healing
Long before there were doctors or "medicine men" of any kind, our ancestors lived in a natural balance. Today, natural ways of living are so blurred by false beliefs and misinformation that we have to re-learn what was once basic. But now the vital need of a return to these ways is backed up by scientific, factual evidence and explanations.
The Ascent of Western Medicine
Did western medicine and the pharmaceutical corporations (“Big Pharma”) become the mainstream health system because of any proof that its better than other methods?
Notably, that’s not the case.
In the late 1800s there were many types of doctors and healing modalities in existence. Yet one man, John D. Rockefeller, became a primary owner in the medical industry, resolving to eliminate all competitors. His assistant, Abraham Flexner, submitted a report to Congress stating that there were too many doctors and medical schools in America, and that all but the drugging models (eg., natural healing, etc.) were unscientific quackery. He called for the standardizing of medical education, arranging things in such a way that only his favored organizations (the AMA) be allowed to grant licenses to health (doctoring) schools in the US. It worked. Rockefeller’s medicine became the standard, even though its main methods of treatment had been blood-letting, surgery and the injection of toxic heavy metals like lead and mercury.
Later, Rockefeller and Carnegie used their tax- exempt foundations to offer huge grants to medical schools on condition that they offered only a medically- based curriculum, while removing any mention of the natural healing power of the body, herbs, plants and other alternatives including the importance of diet to health. The story of medicine’s rise and hold on power is fraught with many, many more examples of how big money dictates health practices, overtly and subtly monopolizing that field with dire consequences that severely limit common consumer knowledge and choice.

Failures of our Education Deepen In the main,
the body does not fail us, our education does. |
Nature's Healing
Today increasing disillusionment with the medical establishment has led to a resurgence of interest in the methods of hygenic, natural wellness. Due to the knowledge now found on the internet, many wellness seekers have learned its rudiments and principles. However, the knowledge that's available is confusing and deficient. Indeed, few today have any kind of solid grasp on the most basic of foundations that give weight and meaning to the vital verities of hygenic (natural) health. With its underlying principles obscured, too many, casually educated or mis- educated, go back to the medical mentality when faced with crises or in daily life as its what they trust and know so well. Natural Healing Studies
The systematic study of the body’s own natural healing process began in the late 19th and early 20th century. However, the terminology that's used to describe it and its methods has become so muddied as to now be intermixed quite commonly with the ideas, ideals and modalities of medicine. Nature's Healing Movement
So goes the movement to restore nature's wellness. Sadly, the confusion engendered has moved health seekers far from the original intent of honoring and allowing for the ways of nature in the body. Now well- obscured, even would- be adherents and those who try to share this knowledge almost naturally default to common medical misnomers so ingrained since early childhood. Today money interests and promoters dominate the main stages of movements for health. Well ingrained medical mis-education runs deep within our psyches, confusing and distracting truths of health. Without aid and full re- education we easily fall prey to profiteering and promoters touting remedies, cures, symptom- treating and other erroneous health practices. Nature's health in its simplicity dictates that violating the laws of physiology results in sickness but nature provides and enacts the cure. The task before seekers of the ways of nature's health, then, is to allow the body to undertake its work without interference or heroics. From the human body to the gardens of the earth, natural health in its origins, along with biocology, looks at the physiology of life and its ecology, following nature closely as a guide to caring for organisms and systems. The methods of Biocology constitute the most natural, scientific and effective health system on the planet. The approach is systematic, biochemical and geared to utilize our natural dispositions.
Human intellect is no match for nature's infinite wisdom. By tapping into its flow and moving with it, we can reverse through addressing its the true causes. Biocology eschews most medical heroics and so- called cures. Instead, its practitioners are teachers who help clients restore body balance in the most natural way through the institution of healthy life conditions. Our clients are students learning to grasp, study and truths of natural physiology as revealed in science, the physical world and the human body. Observation, intelligence and common sense and the workings of our bodies teaches and directs us, leading us most kindly to the very best of health. |
Health is a totally do-it-yourself affair for humans,
just as it is for animals in nature.
Think of it-- No one else can:
+ Breathe for you . + Drink for you + Make food choices and eat for you
+ Sleep for you + Exercise for you + Be lovable or loving for you
+ Meet the needs of life for you + Say YES to Life
The principles of biocology have stood the test of time and the personal investigation of millions. Overcoming and preventing disease is no big mystery-- we simply learn the causes and discontinue them. Vibrant health and sickness-free living can be obtained through a natural, scientific, sensible and effective system.
