Build Health: Think Differently Than Experts To Prevent Disease
Copyright 2004 William R. Quesnell
Did you know that all physicians and medical researchers have
been indoctrinated with a flawed model of thinking dating to
the 17th century?
These "experts" cling to a Cartesian model of thinking.
Cartesian refers to the philosopher Descartes who declared, "I
do not recognize any difference between the machines made by
craftsmen and various bodies nature alone composes."
All scientists, whether they were physicists, botanists, or
zoologists, soon adopted his concept that the subject of their
study was a machine.
Over time, however, every science but one opted out of that
belief. The mechanistic, reductionist, biomedical model of health
followed by our doctors and medical scientists still assumes our
body functions like a machine.
This antiquated theory says our body consists of a fixed number
of parts working together like a clock. Disease results from
their breakdown, and repair of the machine depends on a
doctor's intervention.
Intervention comes in three forms: Repair by surgery, treatment
with drugs, or the replacement of defective parts.
Nowadays the smallest defective parts are presumed to be
genes, human disease genes, found in our cells.
Are you comfortable with the premise that a single human cell
measuring 1/1000 of an inch across, containing instructions
within its DNA that would fill 1,000 books of 600 pages each, is
but part of a machine?
A life systems model of thinking provides a much better under-
standing of health and the prevention of disease.
All life forms are comprised of layers or tiers. Genes are
imbedded in chromosomes. We find the chromosomes in the
nucleus and the nucleus in the cell. The cell resides in an organ
and the organ functions within organ systems.
All these levels are dynamic, participating in mutual inter-
actions that influence the health of each organism. They are not
static parts of a machine, independent from nature.
For more than four million years, beginning when our ancestors
first stood erect, we have had a partnership with nature.
The success of this partnership, reflected in our individual
health, has much to do with nutrients derived from the exterior
environment in the food we eat and the water we drink.
All life forms require minerals from the external environment to
regulate the metabolic enzymes that run their internal environ-
ment.
When we consume food and water deficient in minerals, our
metabolic enzyme systems break down. That's when we begin
to lose immunity to degenerative disease.
Getting a handle on where health comes from and how to
prevent disease sure beats repair by surgery, treatment with
drugs, or the replacement of defective parts.
