What Ails You?
Dear Medicine Man,
- My stomach is nauseous.
- I drink too much coffee.
- I smoke cigarettes.
- I wake up with shoulder pains.
- I sleep on a mattress that’s too soft.
- I eat processed foods.
- I don’t always wash my hands after cutting up chicken.
I’ve stumbled across these alternative medicines on the web: Reiki. Aromatherapy. Oh, I see meditation and yoga are now mainstream?
And there are the blogs written by people who have mental illnesses. Apparently they are cured through writing? Me to (apparently, I mean)!
Plus there are the Wiccans. Except I hardly see them casting spells online. Not for what ails me, anyway.
What I’d like to know is this:
- Why is there disease in the first place?
- Why is “medicine” such big business?
- What is my disease, and…
- What is the cure?
- And what is the prognosis?
Thanks,
Patient
