The other day I went and talked to some nurses and doctors. This was such an eye opening experience. I began my talk about 'holistic health' and how 'holistic nursing' is now accepted as a 'specialty area' of nursing. When I looked out into the audience, I realized they didn't have the faintest idea what holistic health is much less authentic health and wellness.

Authentic health and wellness is not just physical. It is not about symptoms and disease. First of all it is looking at the 'whole picture.' Holistically it is inclusive, integrative medicine that complements allopathic regimens. It is looking at the physical health and wellness being an 'end' byproduct of what is going on spiritually, mentally, and emotionally with someone.

The 'numb' looks I got from the doctors and nurses told me just how 'brain washed' we are into 'sickness consciousness.' And how healthcare is pretty much about the physicality of health. 'Wellness consciousness' and 'prevention' is actually foreign or unheard of in the minds of most people today as well as healthcare providers.

Wake up folks.............you can live a healthy and well life if you get into preventive therapies and modalities. If you pay attention to the holistic (wholeness) of your health you can also cure ailments you are perhaps experiencing.

The United States health care system is 'numbed' out. They aren't even aware of authentic, holistic, health and wellness modalities.....Inclusive therapies that can help patients prevent illness.

I am grateful to be a member of American Holistic Nursing Associaiton. These nurses understand and are educating about authentic, holistic, preventive, integrative, health and wellness. They want people to heal; not just stay sick and 'sick minded.'

You can change today, and you can demand that the healthcare systems of today include holistic health and authentic health and wellness modalities as a part of your health and wellness program. Demand prevention education and therapies.
