| | | | How Plumbing (Not Vaccines) Eradicated Disease
Vaccines get all the glory but history (and most plumbers) will tell you that it was sewage systems and clean water infrastructure that eradicated disease. For example, Smallpox continued to infect Europe’s population until plumbing infrastructure became commonplace. Yet, although sanitation ended this disease, the smallpox vaccine takes the credit. So, while the medical professionals and the pharmaceutical companies are quick to take credit for our increased life expectancy, are they the real heroes?

| | Have You Learned Helplessness as a Patient?
In my decades of experience working with patients as a physician, taking a passive approach to our health is not uncommon. Many patients take an auto mechanic approach to health, handing over their bodies to doctors they may not even screen as carefully as they choose their auto mechanics, never questioning what the doctor says, seeking clarity when they’re confused, asking for second opinions, or taking their bodies elsewhere when something doesn’t feel right. Essentially these patients, especially the ones who have been labeled with a “chronic,” “incurable,” or “terminal” illness, have been programmed to believe that Western medicine has done all it can do.

| | | | Four Planets – How Loud Does the Wake-Up Call Have To Be?
If the whole world were to consume energy and resources at the same rate as the USA, we would require approximately four planets to meet the demand. Clearly we do not have four planets, only one very overstretched planet. Some might therefore think it odd that we are constantly encouraged, by governments and companies, to consume more and more and more. It seems less odd when we remind ourselves that we inhabit an Alice in Wonderland world of topsy-turvy values, in which many of us over-provide for our material needs while under-providing for our spiritual needs. Is it not time to make well-being and genuine human development the central purposes of society?
