Dear Doctor:
I watched the video of Super Size Me, the Morgan Spurlock documentary that detailed his culinary experiment in which he ate nothing but McDonald’s for thirty days, calibrating his body’s descent into pathology as a result.
Remarkably, the doctors who monitored his physiologic responses did not anticipate that such a diet would cause grave danger, yet after they got to compile and evaluate the data, they were convinced that “fast food,” or rather the philosophy of trading convenience and cost for quality, was a primrose path we should avoid.
You may remember how Schopenhauer described the process of how truth is assimilated into public awareness – first, it is ridiculed. Next, it is violently opposed. Finally, it is accepted as self-evident.
More than ever, there is unrest and dissatisfaction with the status quo. The rules are now being challenged – vaccination, meat and potatoes, germ theory, all now being re-examined and reshaped into what will become the new way of looking at health and life.
And that, of course, is where we come in. The search for a unifying agent for the wellness professions would be over if we could see how to step up to our rightful role. Our focus on the nerve system and our grasp of things natural puts us in position to orchestrate the greatest leap forward ever in human potential. Wellness is that big.
In the last gasp of resistance to what is becoming a cultural juggernaut, expect to see scrambling for position – what do you think the rush on “lifestyle drugs” is all about? The drug houses read the trends away from treating disease with dangerous chemicals – so they are developing quality of life drugs that improve sex, reduce weight, expand intellect, etc., wishing to maintain their grip on your body chemistry and your wallet.
Is it paranoid to think that the food, medical, insurance and pharmaceutical industries have ganged up on us in a sophisticated conspiracy that keeps us fat, sick, dependant, and addicted? I’m not that cynical, but I confess that it makes me take my responsibility as an agent of positive change seriously – and I hope you’ll look at it the same way.
