I have come to realize that it is important not to get caught up in our
own self importance or the need to be always right as it clouds our
thinking , causes disharmony in our lives, alienates others toward us,
and limits clear thinking. The Tao talks about the philosophy of
self moderation which balances our lives leading on a path of
understanding, openness, love,and truth.
This blog is my way of exploring what I've learned the past four years from my wife, in her late 40's, passing on to almost dying myself and getting my left leg amputated, to striving to find a new life.

A View of Medical Treatment
I have learned through my journey since 1998, when my wife and I were hit by
a car, about the medical treatment we receive. Alot of it depends on the
medical model and point of view your doctor has. For example if your
doctor is allopathic ( conventional ) then he/she is focused on managing
symtoms and using drugs or surgery. While if your doctor is intergrative,
functional, or naturpathic then their focused on finding the cause of your
condition and looks for a cure using mostly natural treatments. Also your
doctor's point of view whether open or closed or somewhere in
between plays a big part in the treatment you will receive and the range
of knowledge your doctor has. For example all the treatments reversing
neuropathy are alternative which many allopaths have no knowledge of.
I believe you need to have this knowledge to get the best health outcome.
