The practice of medicine in the United States is presently in shambles. Our country spends more money on healthcare than any country in the world yet ranks as the 35th healthiest. What we are doing right is the management of emergency medicine cases. We are great at this because most care leading up to that point is designed to create high dollar care, diagnoses, and procedures. The “powers that be” in medicine don’t seem the least bit interested in changing status quo. Why? I believe it is because the system, as it presently stands, is working for them. Unfortunately, it is not working for the patient.
The chapters in this book outline many of the factors that have produced the shambles that is our present healthcare system. The biggest error conventional medicine makes in treating chronic illness is only treating the symptoms and not addressing the underlying cause(s). In my opinion, the main reason is greed.
Enter possibility. Possibility has a name, and that name is The Holy Spirit. Many years ago in an upstairs room on a Sunday night with the doors locked, the risen Jesus appeared to his friends. That night He blessed them with a gift, the magnitude of which cannot be quantified.
In this book I compare the Holy Spirit to The East Australian Current from the movie “Finding Nemo.” Nemo was physically so far away from his father and best friend, who were searching for him, that finding him was considered “impossible.” Enter Crush, an old sea turtle with wisdom who taught them about an ocean superhighway that could help them rescue Nemo. The Holy Spirit is the East Australian Current of our human existence. When all feels hopeless, it is a transformative superpower, as the miracles in this book attest.
The calamity that is American medicine can’t be fixed with more sophisticated equipment or yet more expensive drugs. The answer lies in detoxification and purification of mind and body, nutrition, hydration, prayer, meditation, love, and forgiveness. One of my favorite quotes is from the book “Power vs Force.” It says, “Love dissolves negativity by recontextualizing it rather than by attacking it.”
