Hippocrates, the father of medicine taught healers the basic principle to do no harm. Now part of the Hippocratic Oath, the words are eternal, they are that crucial.
How closely do you think it's actually followed in the twenty-first century?
Recently I took my son to a podiatrist after the pediatrician told me that's who I would have to see and wrote out a referral. He's 13 and has flat feet that point outwards when he walks.
The day arrived and we were ushered in. I'm sitting across from my boy when the doctor walks in, looks at him for less than a minute, and proceeds to tell me he will have to do a complicated surgery immediately. He won't be able to walk for a year and will have a steel plate for the rest of his life. Right in front of my son!
Do no harm? I could not believe it.
My 13 year old with a steel rod?
I was angry at that man for scaring my son, but I'm not so easily manipulated. My son is now doing daily exercises to correct the real issues.
Unfortunately, this is not an isolated case. People who are normally skeptical at sales presentations are much less so when they are being sold by a doctor. This was a $30,000 procedure (that the insurance would pay for and it doesn't pay for the much less expensive solution I found).
Look at the training the medical profession receives: it's all drug intervention and invasive surgeries.
I agree that there are times that these treatments are sometimes needed and save lives. But it shouldn't be the norm when other means aren't even considered.
For years I had been searching for a better way. In the process I found a very unique place, that is based on the crazy notion that the body is amazing and self-healing.
Rather than traumatic interventions, they teach people to give the body all the nutrition it needs and stop overworking it with processed "foods", and amazingly it will go into high gear in healing itself.
Named after the father of medicine, the Hippocrates Health Institute truly believes and practices "do no harm" as it teaches people how to create their own healing.
To me, the experience I had at Hippocrates Institute was a taste of heaven. It was so uniquely different.
They call it a miracle, the people who have healed themselves from fibromyalgia, diabetes, cancer and all manner of health conditions - by following what they learn. - 15343
