In point of fact, modern medicine problems are not new, they are as old as the field itself.
Some of us feel that medicine really should be something people do out of love and transcendent drive and not out of money. Certainly, success in any field means both money AND serving a larger group of people.
The problem, of course, is where do you draw the line? When is it more about money than individuals? Such a line should be carefully gaurded in medicine.
I recently read in The Atlanta Journal-Constitution (Oct. 10, 2007 ed.) about a concern over a doctor shortage in Georgia. This problem is not shared nation wide, actually many places have a ridiculous surplus, but some states are spending money to try to fix the problem of too few.
The concern is valid to the extent that you have decided that you are a victim of health problems and injuries just happening to you.
I have long challenged that anyone has to be such a victim, though. Even accidents are arguable, especially if you allow modern metaphysics to blend with ancient ideas of Karma.
In my course set, "Posture and Performance" the issue of "accidents" is soundly dealt with and certainly is not usually just an accident and frequently can be prevented.
As for medical dependence, really it is a matter of intrinsic responsibility to being born that you learn to care for your body. True, a professional who can help you in a harmonious way (when possible) to heal or recover from an injury should it occur is certainly prudent in every area of population.
Even so, natural healing always lends itself to the education of the patient so that they become self-reliant to some extent.
Most natural healers want to teach classes also and share what they can to help people become healers of themselves or even healers of others if they want to.
www.Kalsschool.com is certainly an effort that direction. The school that I originally studied under is also available for a very reasonable fee and is more rounded and less mentor-oriented than my school, but I am happy to recommend it to anyone. It is Dr. Christopher's School of Natural Healing, in Springville, UT.
The so-called shortage of doctors would not be a problem at all if individuals had a grasp on basic care and had to see the doctor a lot less often. I doubt that healing yourself is any more complicated than keeping your house and body clean and neat and keeping your computer working, it just is different information that we never learned.
Even with the alleged shortage that Georgia appears to be facing, there are still 2 doctors for every 1000 people. The modern doctor is not going to educate you like I or any decent natural healer will do, rather he is going to see you for maybe 5 minutes, allowing over an 8-hour day for about 96 patients per day, rounding down for breaks, lets say they can see 80 patients per day (average actual number is more like 100-150), that still allows them to see every one of their fair share of patients twice every 12 days or so.
Of course, the 2 doctors for every 1000 people in Georgia is not the whole story as many of these are specialists, but then I never go to a doctor and many people I know see a doctor less than one time per year.
The real issues that keep being promoted under the guise of medical problems is that people are not taking responsibility and would rather spend hundreds of thousands of dollars, suffer unspeakably and die an early, miserable death than do what it takes to live life to the fullest.
This is a problem that we continue to work on in the self-help field and my Freedom from Bondage courses certainly make a solid contribution there, if not answering the questions completely. People need a different kind of healing when they cannot responsibly make the kind of decisions that affect their life and health at this level. I believe my courses provide that.
If you cannot responsibly choose your diet, health maintenance or learn how to manage those things, pleas consider my courses. They are affordable and easy to listen to. They will change your life and help you get oriented the right direction. They will help you not just know "how" but to be the sort of person who "will" do the responsible thing and thus create a life of great joy and vitality.
Thank You.
