I just watched a slide show on Medscape (medical website) :
The Year in Medicine 2010: Slideshow
that reviewed the 25 greatest medical highlights from 2010. I was really disappointed by the lack of true medical advancement we seemed to have made in the past year. I thought this was a golden age for medicine and new discoveries. It is interesting that I think medicine advanced a lot this year because of my personal experience with the new MS procedure-- the Liberation Procedure. The standard medical world does not even acknowledge this new procedure which gave me my body and life back. No mention in any standard medical journals. The Medscape survey included the new MS drug Fingolimod. They proclaimed this was a giant step forward because it is the first oral drug for MS (as opposed to injectable). It is not that it works better; it is just easier to take. Not very earth-shattering in my opinion.
It is interesting and a little disturbing how far I have drifted in my perceptions of health and healing as compared to the standard medical world. I still read and enjoy the standard medical journals but I am so much more invigorated by the beliefs and perceptions of non-standard healers. I believe I was part of an incredible medical breakthrough and the journals I value do not even mention it. I like thinking about and helping people with other tools besides just medicines. There is SOOO much else out there to help people! I guess I should quit hoping the standard medical world will change and just be happy I am no longer part of it.
