The more I think about it, the more I see our personal health is a confluence of our genetics, proteomics, epigenetics, and our microbiome with these external factors: our education (general education and education specific to our own health), socioeconomic status, stress, nutrition, sleep, exercise, beliefs, love, connections, support, and priorities. Date February 4, 2023 In relation to action Preventing / minimizing childhood traumas and relieving / minimizing socioeconomic determinants of poor health, would add more years of life, save more lives, and save societies more money, than all the high technology treatments used in modern, Western healthcare. Date April 18, 2023 In relation to childhood trauma MODERN MEDICATIONS, AND OTHER TECHNIQUES FOR TREATING MENTAL HEALTH CONDITIONS, ARE LIFE-SAVING FOR THE MOST SEVERE AND DISABLING CASES. THESE SAME MEDICATIONS ARE TOO LIMITED IN THEIR BENEFITS WHEN IT COMES TO THEIR ABILITY TO HELP, IF NOT COMBINED WITH A HOLISTIC APPROACH (exercise, diet, sleep, friendships, family, hope, goals, spirituality, relief from addictions, microbiome, epigenetics) IN ORDER TO RELIEVE ONE’S SUFFERING.
