SOCIAL: THE FUTURE OF HEALTH CARE

I think from now on, everytime I visit the doctor I will also visit the naturopathic doctor on that same day. And in this I can plan my action. I think doing it in this way is the future of medicine. We need to exhaust all naturopathic alternatives before subscribing to conventional medicine. This entire time people were only getting half treated by conventional medicine. The natural alternative medicine treats the other half. Also the strife or conflict has to come to an end. I think the problem here is that one is bigger business than the other. We, as a population need to realize that these two are complimentary to one another. I think annalyzing the conflict of these two in phases could shed light onto the future of health care. The first phase is discovery, this happened at the time of Kevin Trudeau in the early 2000's, the second phase is conflict, this is currently still happening. People are taking sides and attacking the opposite side. The third phase is mediation, where both sides come to realize the benefits of each side and the combining of philosophies from both sides. The last phase therefore is integration and government reform. I believe that the reason naturopathic medicine is handled the way it is in our current system is because it doesn't qualify in any of the categories of the levels of care that are expected of the establishment. We either need to create a new category or include it in one of these categories primary, secondary, tertiary or quaternery. Clearly naturopathic care is considered a luxury and is not currently deemed to be a need. In order for government reform to occor it requires to be a basic human right. If the naturopathic community can mobilize on this we can have a more robust health care for all.

SOCIAL: SEA WEED MAKES YOU FULL

There is a diet out there which makes people full.  This diet is called the, "appesat diet."  Appesat, is a seaweed which expands in the stomach upon ingestion.  This diet pill can expand once an individual eats.  This expansion in the stomach then triggers the brain that the individual is, "full."  This pill is not a drug but considered a supplement.  I believe third world countries can use this to enhance their ability to be able to feed their populations.  They can cultivate this crop and manufacture it for distribution in their country.  There are many nations out there that lack sufficient resources for food.  Using this pill in conjunction with rationed meals would aid in helping to solve the hunger crisis.  Furthermore, I believe that the Ministry of Social Development should consider giving these pills to supplement income assistance.  If we give these diet pills, we will empower our people to save money on their groceries which would then give them more money to spend on their job search.  I was not really a believer of giving people these funds as I didn't or have experience in their tribulations but, I now do believe that this system serves to protect the marginalized and that these people need the money they receive.
