This is not a weird site providing useless information. Chances are if you are browsing this site, you are Filipino and are seeking answers to dilemmas to questions like: "Why is the prevalence of Filipinos dying from cardiovascular disease greater than other Asian countries?", "Why is there a sharp rise in children with Autism and other delays?", "Why are medicines expensive in the Philippines?", "Are there alternatives to mainstream medicine?", "Is the Philippine medical scene prone from commercialization?", "Are Herbal preparations just scams without the evidence?", "Are pills the answer to a healthy population?"
The answers to these questions has been a life long quest for me. I do not, I repeat, do not have all the answers but there have been vital lessons that I have experienced from people, so called best practices that I have either tried on myself, or that have been tried by others on their patients. Let us grow together and study this gift called life and health.
There are always 2 sides to every coin. It is said that in architecture that one of the strongest structures is called a tetrahedron, having multiple sides which are bonded together so as to form a unit. Buckminster Fuller has proposed that a tetrahedron is one very strong unit. I believe that the health question needs to be answered using Tetrahedron solutions, not one sided but multiple-sided so as to arrive at a very viable solution. If it means combining Western and Eastern philosophies to arrive at that solution, then I guess it would not hurt the Northern and Southern traditions be included also. All cultures have something to contribute in answering this vital question and not be manipulated by Western thinking alone.
We cannot say that Evidence-based medicine is the be-all and end-all of health-care since that is only a part of the tetra structure. EBM or Evidence-based medicine is but part of the solution and will always be. This blog invites you to take a journey into wellness and to share it with other readers as well.
Come and let us raise healthy Filipinos!
