In reply to why do we have to trade brain or body, posted by manic666 on April 7, 2009, at 13:46:08
Well if you don't mind an answer from someone who doesn't know much about medicine, I can only say that some types of alternative practictioners of medicine believe that ONLY the body has the ability to heal; drugs do not heal. The philosophy is to aid the body in healing ITSELF, rather than trying to heal our conditions and ailments. The body is a miracle; wasn't it designed to take care of itself?
Western medicine revolves around treating the symptoms, so I wouldn't expect to be healed from those techniques.
I also believe, in part, that by eliminating symptoms, we stifle our body's ability to heal itself. Oh, that's also why I never took cold medicines. lol
I guess the problem with that is that bacteria, parasites, and especially viruses may be more intelligent than humans in that they adapt to survive more efficiently and quickly than we do. Makes me wonder about evolution.
