The Path Ahead for Humanity
Beyond Vaccinations, Fear and Helplessness

While the virus continues to slowly destroy humanity, taking human lives, putting a magnificent pressure on the health and infrastructure, bringing society down to their knees scrambling for oxygen to sustain human life, scrambling for bed space, doctors, and medication, that too for the second time in a span of a year, what are we learning from this? Or, is society proudly going to talk about being resilient and bouncing back with a strong face like we always do when faced with adversity?

Yes, it’s a great attitude to be resilient, but the time has come to be resilient and smart to take action that we have failed to take as human beings for the longest time because we put our faith wholly into a medical system and science which is great, needed as it saves lives, sustains living, but now has to be looked at more closely and beyond.

Humans’ faith in the medical system was shaken once last year when people were furious and angry with the system. “How can we have nothing to treat this virus at a time and age that we live in right now?” People stuck in chronic illness with lifestyle diseases like diabetes, COPD, and heart issues, woke up to a rude shock and horror to see how they were more vulnerable to the virus and death. Till then they believed as the community made them believe, “Take your pill and don’t worry. You can have a drink, enjoy life, diet doesn’t matter, there is no research that sugar is bad, enjoy your life.” There was zero focus on lifestyle. Just prescription after prescription with no focus on addressing the root cause and addressing a change in lifestyle so people could actually have a chance at recovery and healing.

What has happened has happened. Whilst we sit back and watch the news, social media for more and more fear to fill us up, we need to now start to take a couple of steps back to reflect on how we are living. Why is it that some people are asymptomatic, some people suffer terribly with the virus, some are able to heal from the comfort of their own homes as advised by their doctors and some need a ventilator and oxygen?

Of course, everyone is different but its so clear that your innate and adaptive immune system, how you have lived your life - health-wise, lifestyle wise, plays a major role in your well-being and recovery through this dark time. While the world may sell us ideas from medicines, turmeric, ginger, garlic, superfoods, steam inhalation, saltwater gargles, home remedies, etc, the important fact is –

What change are we going to make to build a strong immune system in our community and world?

We have pollution on one side putting a tremendous toll on the lung health of kids, adults, and the elderly, and the other side we have people disabling their own immune systems with the poorest lifestyle choices. While is it clinically and scientifically recorded and documented in several journals of medicine about the importance of diet, exercise, sleep, emotional wellness with the functioning or the suppression of the immune system, we continue to ignore these powerful tools and live without using them to their full capacity. We forget that all of us have an intelligence within us which is designed to work for us every second of the day and night to protect, repair, heal, regenerate, detoxify, reduce inflammation and rebuild us. We compromise this through our poor lifestyle, self-medication and immense stress that we put our body and mind through not allowing our intelligence to work the way it was designed. We are constantly being sold quick fixes to make us feel happy and to allow us to move quickly through life without having to rest, take a day off, take some time off to allow the adaptive immune system to work its brilliance. We have compromised our own mechanisms and yes, while we will need the vaccines and medical treatments, it's time the world wakes up to - “What am I doing over and above medicine, to prevent, build a strong system, and thrive?”

After all, I am responsible for me, I am responsible to respect and nurture this sacred vehicle, the body, heart, and mind. Many of us have outsourced our health along with our responsibility because we don’t care or we are too busy, and of course, we take it for granted thinking there will be a pill of treatment for everything that breaks down in the human body. Unfortunately, the data is different. At a time in the world where we have so much medicine, technology, advancements in the pharma and medical field, the numbers and deaths of people with chronic lifestyle disease and other ailments, including depression, emotional and mental illness is at the highest. Does this make sense? Cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and diabetes plague the world today. Does this mean the medical treatments and the medicines are not working the right way? Or does it mean that it’s not enough and we also have to address root causes and changes in lifestyle to really get better?
For the longest time, we were sold that a lie, and today it’s taken a virus to shake up the world and open our eyes to see the mess we are in. Now, the only way forward is of course your medicines, IF YOU NEED IT, your doctors, and your LIFESTYLE.

We have been sold the lie to drown in science but, that’s all a brainwash and a distraction from focusing on what really is needed. We need science and we need to respect it, but we don’t need it to blind us from common sense and action. After all, there is good science and bad science like there is good nutrition and bad nutrition. The same science that told us things that are good for our heart, brain, and cancer is the same science today that tells us the opposite. Science and research can also be rigged, controlled, purchased, and sold for profit and private benefit, remember that. So yes, we need science, but we also need common sense and a mind of our own to break stuff down and then take action.
We are at a point in life where I predict preventive medicine and health will become the center of attention and action because people are getting fed up, angry, tired of losing loved ones, and being sold lies. The truth is and will always be the fact that we are products of nature and so we must operate within biological, physical, chemical parameters that best define us. We must operate in alignment with nature and circadian rhythm. When we move away from nature, we create disharmony. When we realign, we create harmony at a cellular level and achieve homeostasis naturally.

You expect a body and mind burned out with the hustle and grind to really support your immune system?

You expect a sleep-deprived body to have a sufficient amount of energy to drive the complex immune system?

You expect a body riddled with inflammation and lifestyle ailments to really support your immunity the way you expect it to?

You expect lungs burdened with smoking and substance abuse, to really support you in crisis?

You expect a liver abused with alcohol to kick in to save you when required?

You expect a stressed-out mind to have a positive impact on the physical self?

You expect forgiveness when you can’t forgive and the same with love, appreciation and respect?

You expect a sedentary body to be physically fit?

It’s time we introspect to see how our expectations and beliefs are false, built on false platforms, and then take the required action and make the required lifestyle changes.

While we will always need medicine, the time has come to holistically look at and assess our lives and lifestyles and wake up to the truth and fact that medicine, nutrition, exercise, meditation, etc all have their limitations and pros and cons, but when integrated and combined together with the way it was meant to be, it becomes the most powerful preventive and recovery tool.

The future of prescriptions will no longer just be medicines and drugs, but also food, exercise, sleep, emotional wellness tools, spirituality, and nature. These will be the prescriptions of the future that will bring about a change. And, the prescriptions that just continue to prescribe pills and nothing else will result in the breakdown of human health, health care, and society. This model has always failed to work in isolation. It’s great at keeping people sick and in chronic suffering. Now, the time to change is NOW and we must rise above our egos and first respect and take responsibility for our health and then use a holistic and integrative approach towards prevention and recovery.

Fear and anxiety solve no problem for us.

Wear your masks.
Stay at home.
Social distance.

When your time comes for the vaccination, take it with an open mind and heart, with faith that it will work and serve you in the best way possible.

Ask all your questions to your doctors to help you reduce your fear.
And, start to change your lifestyle. Today it’s this virus. Next year, it could be a different one. Don’t go back to that poor life of poor lifestyle choices and don’t let history repeat itself because we didn’t do the basics that we are meant to do. Build your lifestyle and planet. They go hand in hand to create an ecosystem that protects us.

The human body doesn’t demand that much to do its best job.

All we need is:
• To address and be aware of the root causes of our pain, ailments, and disease.
• Nutrition that is wholesome, in balance and that suits our body type
• Exercise and movement
• Quality sleep
• Solid emotional health
• If we are on medicine, then managing the side effect of those meds

And also, a focus on beyond medicine, which consists of -
• Faith
• Prayer
• Belief
• Using the power of our subconscious mind
• Love
• Togetherness
• Forgiveness
• Nature
Maybe it’s about time humans started to optimize all of this to build a stronger us and community.
Remember, most of the money to be made is in things, services, and entertainment that actually leads us to live a poor lifestyle, and hence poor health. It’s a vicious cycle which only we can change.
