In many previous articles, I have talked about our current Western Medical System as an “Interventive System.” In this article I will hopefully make clear what this means, why it presents problems to you, why you should want to change this and what you can do about it.
While we often describe the medical system we currently depend upon as “Modern,” “Modern Medicine,” our “Modern Western Medical System,” and as Allopathic medicine, our current Western medical system is far from modern and in fact it is actually hundreds of years old. The truth is while our technology may be “modern” the system it is based on is very old and very out of date.
While the above is true, it is also true that our current Western medical system has been modernized and has many “modern” elements within it, but it, in itself, is much the same system our Roman, Greek, and shaman ancestors used with a few basic changes. The greatest of these changes occur within four element of it, 1) our science base is much more sophisticated than our ancestors, 2) our surgery is actually much more sophisticated and in fact is “modern,” 3) our drug industry is much more sophisticated, especially in its ability to advertise what it can do and avoid dealing what it actually does and the harm it causes. 4) Lastly, our advertising is so much more sophisticated, in the old days physicians were not allowed to advertise, today advertising is everywhere. In the old days, we were not allowed to promise healing to day we have learned to suggest we heal in dozens of ways without ever mentioning the word ‘healing,’ hence giving the general public the implicit “belief” that we can and will heal them when in fact we can’t and we actually do exactly the opposite, cause more illness, pain and suffering then we resolve.
Tokays’ “Modern Medical System” is, otherwise, almost the exact same system Julius Caesar, William Shakespeare, George Washington and Madam Curie faced when they needed medical care. It is an Interventive System that is you still need to get sick BEFORE you can get any help from it. Worse today, our current “Modern” Western Medical System is a business, it is about money and it is about keeping “patients” sick so that the medical industry can maximize its profits and minimize its involvement with people. Okay, I am aware that right now you are likely saying to yourself, that I am over the top in what I just said, that I am wrong and that I have no idea what I am talking about. Right! Maybe I am, maybe I’m not. This does not make your problem with the current system any less of a problem for you, in fact simply supports and maintains the worst of problems associate with our current “Modern” Western Allopathic Medical System. It supports nat making essential changes and accepting the problems that leave our society growing old, ending up in nursing homes, convalescent hospitals, disabled and suffering from one or more chronic diseases and dying premature from a medical condition that was ignored or mistreated when it was curable.
The truth is any system which is designed to wait until you are already ill, until you are on deaths door step, or otherwise, is old and goes back to ancient times when we had no clear idea what illness was nor what we could do about it. Today, we have an amazing amount of information on how to prevent illness so, that most people should NEVER have to get sick in the first place and we and you, the current Western Medical System and general public chooses not to use this information and we offer many reasons to prove we are not interested in doing so and that we support a system that forces us to have to get sick when most illnesses are 100% preventable. We can’t heal our own medical system, because the system is not just broken, it is kept broken so it can make lots and lots of money.
So, who then do we blame? Everyone? No one? The fact is while there is plenty of blame to go around medical organizations such as the AMA, Medical Boards, State Licensing organizations, medical schools, insurance companies, medical service organizations, medical doctors, there is a simple way around this problem.
Start taking care of yourself. Become educated and learn how to live in prevention, create healing, establish wellness, and make sure you have positive longevity and you can and do live the highest quality of life possible. Find medical doctors that will work with you to help you, to teach you, to work with you to start making changes in your life beliefs, in your day-to-day thoughts and every action so that you clean up your life, create and positive life, a healthy lifestyle and live so that your every action has at its basis preventing illness, healing already existing illnesses, and building a healthy future. Your optimal health starts with you, your beliefs, your choices and your actions.
Scary, maybe but look at it in the following way, if you are 30-50 years of age right now your expected lifespan (assuming you are living a reasonable healthy life) for men is 75 years and for women is 82 years of age. Think about that if you’re a man, 30-50 years old right now you have on average, 25 and 45 more years of life to live as of today. If you are a woman of 30-50 years of age, you have on average, between 30 and 50 years of life to live. I know, most people don’t believe they will live their full life span (guilt because they know they are not living the life they know they should live.) But they will, the only question is at what level of quality will they live at. Sick with multiple medical and health problem or totally and fully well, a live and alert?
There is the rub…. these life spans statistics include all of the drug addicts that overdose die, all those individuals who commit suicide in one way or another, all Covid victims, and all war victims and injuries. Here is another rub…. it does not take into account that by the time you reach 75 years of age or 81 years of age, these life span numbers will more likely be closer to 105 to 125 years of age. Yes, each of our average life spans are steadily increasing because of the progress Western medicine and science makes in keeping us alive (with or without it being the highest quality of the life we could live). One last rub…. where will you be living, what will you be doing and how health will you be … what will be the quality of your life? While many men and women will reach 75 to 90 years of age, many will be living in nursing homes, will be invalids, disabled, suffering from dementia or dealing with a host of preventable chronic diseases, which were not prevented because they and their doctors waited until they were too ill to reverse or heal the chronic and even disabling illnesses and health disorders they suffered when they were younger. Even though the conditions they suffered were ultimately curable when they first started, the system didn’t prevent them from reaching that magic moment when they stopped being fully reversible. Curable is only meaningful if you understand what true prevention, healing and wellness mean for without understanding this, your life is currently destined to end with you in a facility of some sort, being taken care of, loss of your independence, and suffering from one or more chronic diseases which could have been cured, if they has been recognized early enough and appropriately taken care of.
