I use this analogy to make a point.  To be a Good Allopath (MD), you must believe that the human body naturally produces Too Few Chemicals & grows Too many Organs on its own...as that is the only things they offer the public (excissions and chemicals).\n(Emergency Rooms are the exception*)\nI also find it False advertising when a Hospital calls itself a "Health Care Facility", as if you walked in and pronounced aloud "I feel GREAT", security officers would probably walk you to the front door.  Hospitals do NOT deal in HEalth...they Deal in sickness.  They should call them selves "Sick Care Centers", and when people leave with another "medically prescribed" drug (70% of our countries health care expenditure), they will have no disillusionment that they are in FACT SICK PEOPLE-WHO ARE TAKING CHEMICALS...NOT Healthy people because they are taking them.\n\nIf nothing changes...No doubt about it that we will become really OLD, unproductive sick people if this trend remains unchanged.

Yes, I think so! More fuel to feed our growing bodies-- mine isn't growing much anymore though! And plus, adults' metabolisms are usually slower than ours... :-)

Of course it will.\n\nCompare life today to life in the 1600s. Huge changes.\n\nThe amount of problems will stay the same. For every one solved, there will be a new one created. \nOn the other hand, the most serious of problems will go down. (Technology has helped bring down infant mortality rates, lowered deaths from disease, illness and injury, allows more food to grow with less effort in slmaller areas, extended lifespans, etc.)

Absolutely!\n\nI have a degree in "mind and body transformational psychology", and a lot illnesses are caused my mental, and emotional distress.  \n\nWhen you are not happy, you are out of balance, and it will cause minor medical conditions, that that can turn into major medical conditions.  \n\nObesity is one of the fastest growing medical diseases, and much of it is caused by stress, or abuse.

I don't know if I believe that. \nI still have a toaster. \nAnd I use it! Although it isn't much improved in the last 50 years, it has been such a good product that nothing has replaced it.\n\nWe keep adding more capabilities to the mix. There are a lot of things that can still be done with this technology, and the technology is always changing. \nI think we are not going to see the computer go away. I think we may call it something else eventually, but it will be a computer. We used to call a thing a computer when it had far less capabilities than it does now.\nI think the next step in it's evolution will be personal monitoring of our body and it's functions. A kind of intermediate medical care.\n\n(I never did buy a Toaster Oven. Wonder what that implies about my technological views today?)

I can't really see your problem, you are free to live your life as you see fit, if you want to live in some wilderness you can do it, if you want to live without technology, you can do it you have made no mention of the advantages that technology has brought us all, why not? \nI think the main clue is the 'Family' bit, living away from home etc.\nIf that is indeed the case, technology has enabled your family to reunite whenever they feel the need, no matter how many miles away they are!\nAs for the 'healthy' bit, I am sure that you know as well as I do that thanks to technology we are all living longer (fat or not)!\nAs for the TV that is a matter of choice watch it or not.\nAnd if it wasn't watched as you suggest what indeed could be accomplished, more technology?\nI think you have just got a weight off your chest by writing this question , it certainly helps doesn't it?\nGood look if you are really trying to send us back to the dark ages, but I don't think you really mean it ?

Well, as a doctor I would say that because of comfort foods and sedentary way of life style and cos of spending hours on watching computer tv  we are prone to have obesity and I can tell you there are at least 110 diseases which can be related to being obese and major ones are definitely , heart attack , angina , inc. serum cholesterol, for women who take inc, animal fat breast ca. and for those who are naughty and prosmicoious who smoke and begin sex life early cervical cancer , and cos of pollution and pl smoking around us lung ca. then these aerosols we use MSG we eat that is monosodium glutamate in snacks and all take away foods , artificial sweetners , industrial pollution all these are giving rise to novel cancers with i guess passing time newer diseases are eveolving cos of ths artificial life, i dunno what to say but we are deriving numerous benefits from these service too lots lots more .we can help cut these down by engaging our selves in more phycical activities not hi tech just walk aorund the corner daily and healthier diets , wih more natural stuff and a healthy choice of fruits and vegies , then our GRAND MOTHERS  they were basically prone to infectious diseases which are either now preventable or treatable but none of these threats we have was there then.

Science, just like every other area of human involvement has a good and bad side - it's a reflection of who we are as a nation, culture, or individual. In fact most human developments are, by themselves, neutral - neither good nor bad. It's their use that we judge one way or another.\n\nA case in point - the development of the science of electronics: semiconductors, transistors, computer technology and the WWW has led to countless benefits for many of us, but these technologies used to unconstitutionally spy on American citizens is unquestionably bad.\n\nAnother point: medical science has developed incredible technology to keep us healthy and cure our ailments, but keeping these advances only for the wealthy or only for the most profitable areas is shameless in the face of so much everyday human tragedy.

I work with people with various types and levels of mental illnesses and I think medication help reasonably normalize their living conditions, however, considering the long history of mental illness amongst us, and the advancement of our medical technology, I think we should have come up with a one stop gap medication that could help the condition without having to take over 15 different medications.

a hybrid between biological/electronic technology enabling our brains to communicate directly with implanted computers, eventually in our own language. \n\nI also think anti-ageing genetic modification is on the horizon, but i fear this development. The slower people age, the longer they are going to live & our resources, both natural & financial are going to be stretched to breaking point.

There is no two words about it:\nThe technology has helped us, but the only thing is everything has pros and cons. Without technology/scientific knowlege we wouldn't be answering these questions on internet. Technology/scientific knowledge made us realize that stars are not haning lanterns (as mentioned in some folk stories). Technology/scientific knowledge made us realize that the world is not flat and it is not a huge flat surface shouldered by 4 large elephants on a huge turtle that floats on the sea (this is a true mythical idea long time back). \nBut there are bad sides to it too. Golbal warming / wars / pollution and there are many too. It depends on the way people use it. \nBut the next generations will be more brainier than us. They shall tackle these issues too. It is our duty make the next generation brainier, to put them in the right track. \nDon't worry about technology, it is always for good.

Yes of course...\nif it was something I was extremely prone to get and it was something terminal...well then I know which organizations to donate money to for research :P.\nBut yeah, I really would even though ultimately it wouldn't change a thing.  I would still know that its good to live a healthy lifestyle.  I'd still try to eat healthy, get some exercise, meditate, etc.. Beyond this, there's really not a whole lot you can do, just pray :P

Maybe body improving, by exercises and healthy food.

It really depends.  Some people find that it gets better with age, while others seem to feel it gets worse.  I believe other factors, such as stress, contribute to the condition.  Good luck!

Meditate despite your condition and it will improve..

It could be PSYCHOLOGICAL.  If the doctors say you are healthy then you probably are.
