I'd like for everyone to consider a few thoughts.

First let's look at western medicine and science relating to it. What do most physicians trained in western medicine do? When was the last time a doctor provided you with any answers that didn't involve medication, surgery, or another costly medical device or procedure? If you don't want drugs or surgery there isn't any reason to go to a western doctor other than to check for disease so they can give you medication or surgery. Get the point? Remember you live in a capitalistic society.

I recently got kidney stones. I passed the first one. There were several small ones I also passed. The urologist was in a great big rush to get me into surgery and remove the remaining 6mm stone. I opted not to have surgery. The doctor kept pushing for it. I asked the doctor numerous times what I could do to get rid of the stone. Drink lots of water he'd say, having an orgasm also helps move the stone. He probably laughed inside as he was saying it. The reason being is he knew I wasn't going to pass a 6mm stone without horrible pain and probably pleading with him to surgically remove it. Not so fast, doctor.

I educated myself on kidney stones. I found that most kidney stones can be dissolved easily, quickly and pain free with a $7 bottle of organic lemon juice. I heard that many places. The best source was from a urologist. A urologist that is very much disliked by his peers. Face facts, in today's society it's all about making money. For urologist, kidney stones are a cash cow. They aren't going to tell their patients to drink lemon juice and leave them alone. Makes no fucking sense to do that. If you had a local urologist do that the others in the area would be beyond pissed off at them and he/she would be ostracized. So as a society we are told if you get kidney stones you'll get them throughout your life and you can either opt for a painful passage of them or expensive surgery. Your choice buddy. Wrong! There's a 3rd choice and it's far better than the other two that we are told about. Does western medicine not know that lemon juice solves this problem? Of course they do. They simply don't want you to know. So that's how western medicine is set up.

Look at western medicine as compared to eastern medicine from China and India, for example. Yes they have all this energy business. Some skeptics say it's BS. To those skeptical I say consider several facts. 1) most people skeptical of it are also almost completely ignorant of it. 2) Western medicine has spent little if any time and effort on "energy" related aspects of health and wellbeing. Only in the last couple of decades has any eastern ideas really started to take root in western medicine. You mean to tell me that societies that existed for thousands upon thousands of years and spent that time studying "energy" is all nonsense? That fact that western medicine has ignored it means it doesn't exist? Really, so if something is starring you in the face so long as you don't believe in it then it doesn't exist? That's what those that refuse to understand eastern medicine are saying.

Western medicine isn't even close to figuring out what eastern medicine has known for centuries. In the last 30 years western science has only just discovered that there are such things as mirror neurons. In that 30 years we know more but frankly we don't know shit about them yet. What don't we know about them? What other things don't we know? A lot. What do the really smart people know that we don't? Simple, they accept they don't know shit and that's what drives them. When you've got it all figured out then you're a nincompoop just waiting to die.

Fact is if you have it figured out and you've stopped searching for answers then you've stopped growing and you're simply dying. You"ve grown comfortable in your foolish ignorance and refuse to take another step forward. Your ignorance is yours and yours alone. The fact you share it with others, well that's not anything new. Look around, most everyone does it. The only question is what level of ignorance are you and those you associate with at. You may be a deep thinker but if the only thing in your ocean (brain) is water (and not other knowledge) then that's all you'll see and all you know. If you lack some knowledge then you lack the ability to form thoughts that are based upon all reality and only based upon your perception of what reality is. Then of course we get into ego which is a whole other topic.

So yes western medicine is where it's at. Get sick, get pills, have surgery and enjoy life. Those thousands of years that easterners studied medicine, well that's just stupid shit.
