their bodies will adapt and react as de- signed if given the support required to do so optimally. When a baby is born, the phrase “it’s a miracle” is often ex- pressed – and it is indeed miraculous – but the miracle of life continues until we expire and we have far more control over our health during the time in between the beginning and end than has been let on during the medicalization of health- care over the past forty some odd years. Interesting, is it not, that the gold
standard for contemporary preventative care mirrors a process that routinely takes place every single day of our lives, that being exposure to traces of microscopic foreign invaders that engage our immune systems into action, building immunity to a plethora of bacteria and viruses. Basic sciences, biology and physiology specifically, teach that the strength of the immune system, a reflection of health, determines both the degree of exposure and the ability to eradicate invaders. However, generations of people now believe that laboratory science is more important to immunity than the very im- mune system that, by comparative ratio of elephant to ant, constantly eliminates disease without artificial assistance. By no means, though, does advocat-
ing for a preventative model to take the reins of healthcare suggest that treat- ments are not necessary or that innova- tions like stem-cell therapy should not still be a major part of the system at large, but the pendulum has currently swung about as far toward the treatment-based model as it can and nothing is likely to change about the state of American healthcare until the pendulum swings significantly in the direction of preven- tion.
