Science, Policy, Messages, Messengers
Sometimes it’s the message that’s not to be trusted, sometimes it’s the messenger, sometimes it’s both. How can we tell the difference? What is confusing is that so many messages are a mixture of (best known) truths, (manipulative) falsehoods, (honest) mistakes, and (unstated) uncertainties. Life, death, disabilities, fear, hate, blame, loss of trust, disbelief, disgust,Continue reading “Science, Policy, Messages, Messengers”
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.
We may not have absolute free-will. It may be that certain biological forces sway our thoughts, perceptions, decisions, and actions much more than we realize. Charles Tadros, M.D. February 4, 2023 Saint Louis, Missouri
IS THE WAY THAT YOU THINK, SPEAK, AND ACT WHILE AWAY FROM WORK CONSISTENT WITH HOW YOU PERFORM THESE ACTIONS WHILE AT WORK? IF NOT, THEN YOU ARE NOT BEING INTERNALLY AND EXTERNALLY CONSISTENT. YOU ARE NOT WALKING YOUR PATH. THIS DISSONANCE CREATES TENSIONS WHICH, EVENTUALLY WEAR YOU DOWN, EITHER PHYSICALLY OR MENTALLY. EVENTUALLY, ALL THIS COMES CRASHING DOWN, AFFECTING YOUR PERSONAL LIFE AND YOUR FINANCIAL HEALTH. IT MAY TAKE YEARS, EVEN AS LONG AS DECADES, TO REACH THIS BREAKING POINT, BUT YOUR MIND’S NEED TO RESOLVE (or at least decrease) THESE INCONSISTENCIES IS UNRELENTING.

“WE SHOULD MEASURE THE PROSPERITY OF A NATION NOT BY THE NUMBER OF MILLIONAIRES, BUT BY THE ABSENCE OF POVERTY, THE PREVALENCE OF HEALTH, THE EFFICIENCY OF THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS, AND THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO CAN AND DO READ WORTHWHILE BOOKS.” (One does not have to believe or agree with every action or thoughtContinue reading “W.

FOR PEOPLE WITH SEVERE ADDICTIONS, THE ADDICTIONS, AND THEIR ASSOCIATED BEHAVIORS, FEEL LIKE BREATHING: AUTOMATIC, CYCLIC, THOUGHTLESS, NATURAL, AND NEEDED FOR LIFE. THIS IS WHY, WHEN AN ADDICT PROMISES THEMSELVES, AND OTHERS, THAT THEY CAN QUIT (and that they will quit, when they are, “good and ready”), IT IS AS IF THEY HAVE PROMISED TO HOLD THEIR BREATH. THEY MAY BE ABLE TO DO IT FOR A WHILE, BUT, EVENTUALLY, EVERY SEVERE ADDICT WILL RELAPSE. THEY HAVE TO BREATHE.
Severe addiction, heck, probably most addictions, require that sufferers ask for, receive, use, and follow through with professional help in order to decrease and cease the repetitive behavior(s). Many addictions often lead to financial, familial, work/career, health, and even legal problems. Addictions are medical illnesses (not just legal issues), with far reaching personal and socialContinue reading “FOR PEOPLE WITH SEVERE ADDICTIONS, THE ADDICTIONS, AND THEIR ASSOCIATED BEHAVIORS, FEEL LIKE BREATHING: AUTOMATIC, CYCLIC, THOUGHTLESS, NATURAL, AND NEEDED FOR LIFE.

WE NEED TO ITERATE, TEST, FAIL FAST, “MOVE FAST AND BREAK THINGS”, WHEN DEALING WITH SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE. THIS SAME PHILOSOPHY DOES NOT APPLY WHEN INVOLVING HUMAN EMOTIONS, HEALTH, LIFE, AND SUFFERING.

THE TRUTH IS THAT A CERTAIN LEVEL OF SOCIAL STABILITY (decreased stress), INCOME (cash flow), AND WEALTH (assets) DO MORE FOR QUALITY OF LIFE, PUBLIC HEALTH AND LONGEVITY THAN OUR NEWEST AND MOST EXPENSIVE MEDICINES OR OUR FANCIEST MEDICAL PROCEDURES.

SOME OF OUR MOST REWARDING AND MOST FRUITFUL DECISIONS TAKE YEARS, IF NOT DECADES, TO NURTURE AND DEVELOP: FINANCES, HEALTH, FAMILY, COMMUNITY, AND SPIRITUALITY.
This means it takes EXTREME patience and a small amount of work, frequently, over a long period of time. It is extremely difficult, but not impossible, to catch up if you have not put in the work and the time, starting early. Charles Tadros, M.D. July 28, 2021 Saint Louis, Missouri
IT IS OK TO BE SO HEALTHY THAT YOU PUT THE MEDICAL PROFESSION OUT OF BUSINESS.
