Allopathic Medicine looks to pathogens (bacteria, viruses, fungus, etc.) as the cause of disease and based upon this model develops drugs to kill the pathogens.
Chiropractors look at the cause of disease as mis-alignments or abnormal function of the bones of the spine, which creates an interference with nerve function. Thus, the cure is an adjustment or manipulation of the bones of the spine to correct the mis-alignment, opening the pathways for proper nerve function.
Every system of health care has its own model.
Dr.Kacera has certain basic questions.
Why? For instance, why do we become susceptible to the pathogens when we have an immune system that is supposed to keep us healthy? Why do the bones of the spine become dysfunctional? There must be answers. There must be deeper levels of cause. If so, then the pathogen causing an infection or the vertebrae causing nerve interference is only a symptom of some deeper underlying cause!
In his search for that underlying cause and it was in the science of Ayurveda that he claims to have found it.
Ayurveda means "the knowledge of living" or "the art of longevity."
Ayurveda teaches us that all disease begins when we are living out of harmony with our environment and the elements of nature: air, sun, water, soil and living and work space.
Models can be created both to prevent and to treat disease. If disharmony is the cause of disease then the re-creation of harmony is the cure. This is what the science of Ayurvedic herbalism is all about.
One realization of this model is that both the creation and the healing of disease are under our control.
Ayurveda takes health into the realm of personal responsibility, and once we enter that realm we are no longer victims of the multitude of ailments that afflict humankind. We become empowered to participate in our own healing process!
We do not have to be sick. Through healthy practices we can become physically vibrant and radiant individuals.
