Why the western science & medical system doesn’t cut it anymore

Trust your intuition more than anything else!

We are misguided by our minds, logic, numbers & stats and disconnected from our intuition, gut feelings & emotions.  

It makes us sick and unwell.

Why? Because we are not just our mind & brain! We have a whole physical body! And also an emotional, mental & spiritual body. We cannot cut them off.

Feel free to look at the rising statistics in mental health issues, start truly listening to people, talking to them & you will notice something is completely off.

At the same time, look at how supposedly “advanced” we are, with technology developing faster than I can say my name, so many medications, pills, developments etc.

And yet, it is still often accepted to feel unwell at a job, be constantly stressed, burned out, unhappy, joy-less, in a rush. Or maybe, let’s say, we often resign to it, cos it seems “normal”

Its soooo great that now we can vape instead of smoking cigarettes & not stink like smoke…

Sure, a shower-beer after a work day is totally acceptable, no matter that alcohol is toxic…

And yes, lets constantly wear headphones & blast our ears & brain with sounds and EMF & destroy our hearing… because who doesn’t need the newest cable-less ear-&-brain-plugs…

The tides are turning

At the same time, I am very hopeful, because I see how humanity is realizing all this. People are so miserable, that they turn to so-called “alternative” or “integrative” medical approaches.

Guess where they come from? Often from the East, or from our grandma who managed to pass down some herbal knowledge gems & medical food recipes.

All these healing modalities like the TCM, ayurveda, meditation techniques, breathwork, yoga, reiki, acupuncture, osteopathy, homeopathy, massages, kinesiology etc look at the whole body, not just our mind.

They take into consideration that we are energetic beings & all the parts of our body are interconnected, communicate & need to be looked at holistically.

My perspective as a female, disabled scientist on all that

I am neither a TCM practitioner, nor a certified breathwork therapist, none of these things that I mentioned before.

I grew up with my mom giving us home-remedies when we were sick, homeopathy was part of that, we also got vaccinated, rarely got antibiotics and she made home-cooked meals every day. Oh and we drank warm tea every day too.

There was a general awareness at home about these things. We also were exposed to the classical medical system, cos my sister & me have ectrodactyly, this means we have differently formed fingers and toes.

My left and right hand, showing the physical diability I have: ectrodactyly

That led to several surgeries when we were younger, under full anesthesia, and weeks or months in casts on either our arms or legs. Most surgeries went well, one had no outcome and one was very destructive.

My parents went up to court to sue the doctor who destroyed the thumb of my sister, we didn’t win, the doctor was protected, showcasing the corrupted medical system back then.

I studied biology, did my PhD in plant physiology & I deliberately decided to not go into the medical field, because I did not want to work on rats, and I loved plants more either way.

Long story short:

I still know that a big part of medical studies are biased, corrupted, funded by pharmaceutical industries for profit gains, done on men more than on woman and generally speaking: many animal experimental setups are so below what is applicable to a human being, its crazy.

What does it mean to be a Scientist?

Being a scientist for me means more than laboratory experiments.

The Daria that I am and my experiences, my body & my emotions are my first & biggest experimental ground.

I do experiments on myself all the time.

Be it with the food I eat & how it affects me; be it by observing my emotions and feelings, how I feel when I am surrounded by certain people.

What does it do to my body when I do which exercise? How else can I ease my pain and suffering instead of taking a pill?

I tried all kinds of practices, I finally managed to meditate every day almost 4 years ago, I have done ice plunges, breathwork, I get myself energetic coaches regularly, tried homeopathy & more.

If I notice that something helps me, I stick with it and I don’t care what others say. I also don’t care that there might be no scientific publications out there about it.

I did my own experiment on myself and it worked. That is all that counts.

Because I know that most of the studies are manipulated & cherry-picked. & I know that science is often done by people with big egos & they tweak & twist their data & numbers as they wish.

At the same time, I do observe the scientific & medical field, I listen to experts & people with their own practical experiences of different healing modalities.

The most recent conversation I listened to was with a hypnosis-expert. I had no idea how powerful that is! & I know about how powerful our thoughts & emotions are & that they can make us sick.

Hypnosis was successfully used as anesthesia, it helps to rewire our brain & not feel pain, helps to stop smoking, eases depression, completely changes lifes that have been riddled with pain & suffering.

And if you ask about publications: that expert, Dr. Spiegel, has published the science 20 years ago. Now off to you: do you see hypnosis or self-hypnosis used everywhere? Nope.

The pharmaceutical system cannot make profit off of people who get healed. The only way is to sell pills, more pills, maybe some vaccines, other shots & more pills…

This is the reality we are living in right now; it also is shifting, people start noticing it & taking their wellbeing into their own hands, getting help from practitioners who want to help.

The Journey by Brandon Bays

I recently started to learn online writing & signed myself up to a Mastermind about it. In that setting, I got buddied up with Alison and we immediately clicked. Deeply!

I rarely had such a spontaneous deep encounter & while speaking with each other, she mentioned “The Journey” and Brandon. I noted it down & decided to check it out later.

And I did. I downloaded her book & read it within 2-3 evenings, cos I got completely hooked!

In short: she was, & still is, one of those amazing people with all kinds of integrative medicine backgrounds, helping others to heal all kinds of ailments, mental, emotional, physical.

Yet she got a basketball sized tumor in her end thirties & managed to heal it completely within six weeks.

Since then she developed a process & is sharing it all over the world, training people & institutions in it & spreading it to the world.

The scientist I am, I signed up for her intensive course this weekend & we just finished the second of three days.

I love it! I can already feel a difference & I am so grateful to have come across this process!

For those of you who are paid subscribers, I will share with you some more personal thoughts & experiences in a short voicerecording aboutt the first two days here below.

To al lyou others: feel free to become a paid subscriber to get access to it, to my whole post archive and a bi-weekly live Q&A, I will announce the next date soon!

You can ask me about science, art, business, personal development, scientific illustrations & whatever else comes up!

Love,
Daria
