HEALTH
The Virtual Scanner
By Graham Ewing W
e live in a world in which there are powerful vested interests. Almost everyone, or so it seems, has a vested interest in
persuading you that they are the person to cure you, that they have the treatment to cure you, or that they work for a company that has the product that can cure you. We are bombarded daily with the latest claims for drugs and vaccines yet few people get “cured.” Moreover the demand for healthcare has increased by a factor of ten in the last thirty years and continues to rise inexorably. If vaccines and drugs did what was claimed, then we should have expected the incidence of disease to decrease instead of to increase by such a huge margin. Something is seriously amiss.
The Context of Medicine Today The fact is that techniques of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) are used more widely in the world than are those of orthodox biomedicine. Indeed, this would not be so and could not be so unless those who used such techniques found some benefi t. This statistic

confounds many in medical research who fail to consider why this could be so. They recognise that both genotype and phenotype are factors in disease, yet medical research is almost completely devoted to—even obsessed with—the prevailing genetic paradigm. Doctors assess the health of a patient by their medical diagnosis and by the results of histopathology and scanning tests, and then usually prescribe medication. Yet according to the available statistics, a general practitioner gets his diagnosis right only about 25% to 50% of the time, the accuracy of histopathology tests varies typically from 25% to 90%, scanning tests cannot reliably differentiate between morphological states, and in 90% of cases drugs are only about 50% effective. So we have a conventional medical paradigm which appears at best to be about 50% of 50% effective. Why is this so?
Most medical conditions have multiple origins. For example, the onset of diabetes is infl uenced by genetic context, that is, whether the patient’s physiology was designed for their climate, their diet, what they drink, their sleeping patterns, and so on. These factors infl uence the body’s
