This was very enlightening to me. I’ve never really thought of “illness” in these terms, but it makes perfect, perfect sense! Our world has become so used to a one size fits all method of dealing with illness, which many of us realize is part of what is keeping us ill or actually making us ill. How often have I heard, the cure is worse than the disease? This essay also confirms to me the need for early intervention (or in some cases, none at all). It’s time we rethink our entire method of treating illness.
The information is floating around in my head and I'm always thinking about how to get the message across. This is a first attempt and I'll work at refining the presentation.
I see this concept as the missing link in people's desire to self medicate. Without an independent observer, monitoring how the overall picture is evolving, they at best maintain their diseased state, at worst, lower their level of health.
That is extraordinary. Will take a bit of thinking to understand. thanks Jayne
