The future now of healthcare is the medical Spa. This is what hospitals need to become as a much needed upgrade. Let’s have a soothing retreat with the latest physically noninvasive / non-damaging modalities and regenerative therapies, instead of outdated institutional torture that treats people (and animals) like lifeless meat instead of sacred, sentient multi-scale soulful beings of the cosmos that we are.
It’s unnecessary to spend millions on invasive / non-symbiotic methods or series of appointments that are – let’s face it – designed to prolong sickness, when there can be a conversion to facilities like Switzerland’s Clinique La Prairie or a Grand Resort Bad Ragaz in your city for the same cost or less.
The Med Spa is still a business – however, much more beneficial in that it’s designed to heal. In a changing, broadening world, to heal is indeed better sustainable business. In my view, it’s highly desirable, and ethical, to have a healthier, more peaceful and prosperous society for everyone. It looks like a utopian future, and not dystopian – although the latter may make for entertaining science fiction.
It’s up to humanity as a whole to pursue the best possible outcomes, though; not the worst. Yet, there are some differing opinions and understandings about what that means, and what is possible. As I understand it, perhaps not everyone actively wants radically healthy longevity, yet probably want better healthcare.
For upgraded new era health, people must be respected as sentient beings with unlimited potential in healthy environments as desired, and not just ‘workers’ or the members of some class or sect. Rest and recovery have to be expected. What has been in my view a fixation on death should be minimized. The landscape is much different now. We know there’s probably hundreds of other habitable planets out there, with tech constantly driving forward. There’s other timescales.
With healthcare, many less invasive technologies and therapies are already in existence. Some of them have been around for centuries, like sauna and herbalism. The Med Spa integrates and updates the ancient and the modern. Expanded knowledge, synthetic biology (biocompatible designer proteins), precise targeting and sustainability are updates to herbalism, for example. And new, futuristic modalities include advanced light and sound, or optosonic therapies. Instead of invasive blood draws for example – which are a waste of precious material for the patient – there would be advanced non radioactive imaging and spectral analysis.
There would be an overall shift to maintenance and preventative actions, and regenerative ideology. The transformation is already in motion, yet can be more deliberately paced and implemented. A simple way to start is just making hospital environments more comfortable and welcoming through interior design. How about a water feature? Oftentimes the issue is as simple as de-stressing, reconnecting with nature, being in a kind and peaceful environment, and having fresh and nutrient dense foods.
When it comes to a significant paradigm shift – such as trusting the advanced human biology and by extension God, and working in symbiosis with rather than counter or destructive to biology – that kind of major shift doesn’t always happen easily or overnight. Yet, the world of information is certainly moving faster in the 21st century.
And so these are my views I have arrived at – healthcare doesn’t have to hurt or destroy and it’s far more effective when it doesn’t, when it’s body, cell and microorganism positive. Healthcare doesn’t have to be so industrial, as it has been in the US an awkward extension of the Industrial Revolutions. It can already be so much more nurturing, advanced and effective with existing technologies and knowledge of the library of earthly remedies that continues to grow.
At this point, it’s well known that regular alcoholic beverage consumption is carcinogenic, or toxic – it harms DNA. Let’s be real: Most people drink far more than 6 oz. at a time. Basically, any sort of ‘attack’ on or toxifying of the body would be potentially inflammatory.
From a cellular perspective, an attack on self is confusing – and thus, cancer may ensue as a chain reaction of persistently ignorant decisions or toxic exposures. In the US, alcohol consumption specifically could be considered one of the major causes of cancer and many other health issues, including mental health, because it has been such a rampant excessive behavior.
So in the playful and productive spirit of upgrades, aside from cultivating whole self worth and awareness, let’s convert that wine cellar or storage into a museum or display of fine, exotic waters from around the world – and one day perhaps, from around the galaxy. After all, there’s a lot of water out there in the Cosmos. Imagine seeing that the ‘Bottled at the Source’ comes from Enceladus.
More locally on Earth, there’s selections to enjoy from the common Saratoga, to the artesian Antipodes, and gorgeous locations like caves, mountain streams, fountains of youth, salt seas and bubblings from deep aquifers. There are so many waters, it can indeed be considered a fine beverage genre.
There’s a world, or rather many worlds, of indulgence that are actually good for us, and do no harm.
