World Health and Homeopathy

So what are the issues that World Health Organisation WHO thinks are important today ? How healthy is the world ? Which countries are doing well and why ?

The good news is that Tuberculosis as a world problem has slipped from top 10. Still within top 15.And with it the era of infections. Infections are no longer looking problem even in the lower-middle income group countries.Now infections are a problem only in the low income group countries mainly due to the sanitation and other issues connected with infections.

The world is moving towards chronic diseases.The top 10 causes of death include -ischemic heart disease, stroke, HIV-AIDS, cancers, diabetes spread across countries of high income, middle income and higher-middle income. Chronic diseases are taking centre-satge.

What does this say about us ? Several things-for one that the body has been excessively taxed.If you dont have a family history of many illnesses(parents with diabetes,cancer,hypertention or similar) then the body is reasonably built to absorb insults.It will adjust to change of climate, stress-physical/mental, emotional loss or climate change, grief. Only if things go beyond (or there are family genes) then the body begins show signs of not being able to cope.It is now the disease sets in -raised BP or sugar etc.



Another thing is when you get the chronic diseases early in life you automatically are creating your genes which will be transferred to your child in a compromised way.So you are one in the chain of people.Hence in "Gita" the sacred hindu book it is said that each one of us is important and each one should strive to create goodness(read good genes).This is not so for infections.

Problem is solution lies with us.It would be so easy to pop some pills and get it over with.But there is no easy solution and we need to toil ourselves to bring results.Walk, run, exercise, control mind-desires,eat less, eat healthy...list is endless.Well some people do pop pills and what is the result ? Soon they are on injectables or pace-makers, or dialysis. There is no easy way.Thats life -there is really no free breakfast here. !

Infections on the other hand are far better.Generally occures for a short period of time, can pop some pills maybe at hospital for few days, more pills and you are done.Good as new-all genes intact.Imapct on health, body, genes is nil.

The impact on body of chronic diseases is more, long lasting, transfarable and depleting.Health becomes our focus and quality of life affected.Also pills become suddenly more important.And we become vulnerable.Steve Jobs tried homeopathy when diagnosed of liver ? cancer -out of frustration ?

A great spirit can fight all and chronic disease is no acception but I have still to see people who can keep their spirits up at such times. Health anxiety is pretty common and few can overcome.

The burden of chronic diseases is going to weigh heavily on the resources of govts of countries.It will affect productivity and per capita income.The healthcare costs are already spiralling and there is lack of good healthcare staff to say nothing of good doctors.These patients are going to advanced facilities when these illnesses will get complicated -all diabetics will need dialysis, stroke patients will need physiotherapy and skilled help, cancer will need follow -ups, investigations.

Homeopathy can be integrated into the healthcare system inorder to bring the costs down.It will also address the more serious problem of altering the genetic patterns that are getting formed.It influences the immune response of the body to trigger our bodys mechanism to set things right.After all conventional medicines only supress the illness and most diabetics on medications also land up for dialysis. Right ?

France has one of the best healthcare systems in the world-infact declared 1st by WHO and it has 40% of people using homeopathy.
