For all its limitations, I still have to admit that I am alive because of modern medicine. It may not be holistic and it may do some harm while doing good, but when it comes to saving lives, nothing works faster than modern medicine. From 2015 till now, I have been through four surgeries, many cycles of chemotherapy and radiation, taken countless injections and pills and here I am, still living and breathing, four years after a Stage 4 cancer diagnosis.
Sure, things like Big Pharma and the fact that many natural medicines are kept restricted and out of reach of people do bother me. A lot. But without the amazing technological advancement and extreme precision of medical science, I can't imagine if I would have lasted this long. I do hope that the diagnostic ability of modern science and the benefits of holistic modes of treatment come together, but I need to stay alive till I find that perfection.
So for now, I'll just focus on the healing part of it and continue to live. Happily.
