In Walter Balfour’s work, “An Enquiry into the Meaning of the words, She oo, Hades, Gehenna, and Tartarus,” when speaking of misunderstandings in regards to one verse of scripture, the author states of this: “thus, error is render not only perpetual, but progressive.”

I think that may be at play here. From my (the being I am now and the beings I was) readings of the history of alternative health and diet over the past 100 years, there are a lot of things that have been misunderstood and are still beings.

The solutions, although different for each individual, are all out there, they have simply been buried or forgotten.

For example, Pemmican would have been and would be a great ration to send to people in affected areas. And as stupid as it may seem, Google translate has been improved and could be used to quickly augment a native language editor translator’s work in making a textbook available in a non English language.

Unfortunately, even when beings realize there is a problem, they may not realize the solution, and thus foist unworkable ones on others, including the ones I have suggested.

Each being must teach themselves, and for as long as this principle is ignored and moved away from, and perhaps even afterwards, I think you will continue to see these kinds of disconnects.

I also wanted to say I wanted to comment on your article about Vitamin C and Lysine for heart disease and I was sorry to see that the comment section is closed.

Thanks so much for your perspective, Kathleen. Those doctor-patient partnership articles reinforce what “good” patients do. Which is why I’m so impressed by Dr. Victor Montori and the Mayo Clinic-based team working on the unique concept of Minimally Disruptive Medicine – they really ‘get’ the overwhelming yet barely-acknowedged reality of what they call “the burden of treatment.

Blindness due to health and class privilege is not only social psychological, of course, unless that means systematically reinforced by every practice of every level of daily reality and institution. Scratch the surface of most “doctor-patient partnership” articles and you find a patient who does what he or she is told, perhaps after a humorous quip or two. And what too many of us find is doctors who simply do not listen.
