A Holistic Approach to Health: Balancing Medical & Natural Means

I want to share an article, that was shared with me that just made me say...

... "WOW!"

We all know the medical system (among many others) in Canada are screwed up and needs fixing (it's complex for sure AND undeniable). Part of that complexity and issues is the complete BULL HEADEDNESS of both the MEDICAL and HOLISTIC communities and professions. (Once again, proving that ALL OR NOTHING mentality rules the modern world. 😤) I'm generalizing naturally. There are some practicitioners on both sides who SET THE EXAMPLE beautifully. Sadly, they're the minority STILL in 2025.

In BOTH professions (medical vs holistic), why do people choose that profession/career path? TO HELP OTHERS. So why do we then let STUBBORNNESS get in the way from working for the BETTER OF THE PATIENT/CLIENT. Work WITH each other for the BETTER of the patient/client!!!

Crap... I'm ranting. 🫣

I've had the wonderful opportunity this summer to begin working with a mother and daughter (both in different ways) after they were referred to me by a local physio colleague. We've only just begun, but a couple months into working together has been a pleasure. Not only because they're good humans, but seeing the resilience and effort in these two women! Both have had quite a journey in their individual health, but continue to work with their body to improve their overall deep health in realistic and do-able ways for them. 🥰

And I'm happy to be on their team!

This artcile from CHEO was shared with me yesterday and it absolutely BLEW MY MIND what our modern medical abilities / capabilities are, not to mention what, Camryn has been through! https://www.cheo.on.ca/en/news/how-cheo-s-inr-program-saved-a-teen-s-eyesight.aspx

Again I ask:

Why the HELL aren't we ALL working TOGETHER to HELP people WHEN it's necessary!?!?

No one person or profession knows it all. They all have their own experience, knowledge, views and approaches. Combined, you have a powerful formula to HELP people; Without question.

To me, this surgery is the work of science fiction. Without that surgery, Cam could not have come to work with myself, or continue with her physio and doctors to postively impact her health, wellbeing and lifestyle moving forward.

Please take the time to read this short and POWERFUL article about this young woman's surgery/experience and think about how utilizing tools and approaches from both MEDICAL and NATURAL/HOLISTIC professions and knowledge could help us ALL live better quality lives!

DO NOT get caught in the ONE SIDE VS THE OTHER battle.

Am I starting to rant again?... 🤣
