The Wellness
Method
|
The main
difference
between
wellness
care and
standard
medical care
is that
wellness
care seeks
to turn on
the natural
healing
ability.
Wellness
care does
not add
something to
the system,
instead it
removes
anything
that might
interfere
with normal
function.
Wellness
care trusts
that the
body would
know what to
do if
nothing were
interfering
with it.
Standard
medical
care, on the
other hand,
seeks to
treat a
symptom by
adding
something
from the
outside – a
medication,
a surgery or
procedure. |

If a patient has high blood pressure, a standard medical approach would be to choose a drug that lowers blood pressure, and ask the patient to take the drug. This may serve to lower the blood pressure, but ignores the underlying cause that is making the blood pressure high, and runs the risk of side effects complicating the person’s recovery. |
|
|
Whether
it’s
a
nutritional
issue,
faulty
control
by
the
nerve
system
or a
manifestation
of
stress,
the
medication
could
decrease
the
blood
pressure,
leaving
the
problem
causing
the
symptom
of
high
blood
pressure
unaddressed.
|
|
A
State
of
Wellness
|
|
Wellness
is a
state
of
optimal
conditions
for
normal
function,
and
then
some.
The
wellness
approach
is
to
look
for
underlying
causes
of
any
disturbance
or
disruption
(which
may
or
may
not
be
causing
symptoms
at
the
time)
and
make
whatever
interventions
and
lifestyle
adjustments
would
optimize
the
conditions
for
normal
function.
|
|
That
environment
encourages
natural
healing,
and
minimizes
the
need
for
invasive
treatment,
which
should
be
administered
only
when
absolutely
necessary.
When
the
body
is
working
properly,
it
tends
to
heal
effectively,
no
matter
what
the
condition.
When
the
body
heals
well
and
maintains
itself
well,
then
there
is
another
level
of
health
that
goes
beyond
“asymptomatic”
or
“pain-free”
which
reveals
an
open-ended
opportunity
for
vitality,
vibrant
health,
and
an
enhanced
experience
of
life. |
This is true for mental and emotional health as well as physical health. While some people may suffer psychological disorders, creating an atmosphere of mental and emotional wellness will address all but the most serious problems.
