With Paul"s recent episode of being a pain in the neck the community came up with lots of suggestions on how he could take care of himself.
However the current so called "health care" system is realy sickness care. Sickness is therefore a commodity and health is an unprofitable drag on the industry.
The financial, agricultural, industrial consortium therefore has the incentive to allow and promote illness at all levels from soil through to the climate.
Though I try to share what I have learned since the 1950's that is now called permaculture I think it best to concentrate on my expertise which could be termed permanent human ergonomics.
Our minds and bodies are the primary tools of permaculture. Do we know how and actually do maintenance on these tools? When they need repair do we know how to put them in the repair shop and have them come out in working order?
Tested for aptitude teacher was highest on the list. There for I have taken classes organizing curriculum and imparting skill not just word knowledge. and observing what other instructors do well. So eventually I may be able to infect more minds with health by care instead of caring for sickness.

I'd like to hear more of what you think about healthcare, Hans. Have you written anything else since this that you can point me to? If not you'll have me as an audience if you want to write something here. : )

Thank you for bringing this back to the top.  I have two YouTube channels, one for my therapy still does not have anything in it but the plan is to produce short classes on how human reflexes work, how to monitor them for  balance and how to correct imbalance.
It would be fun to put some on the other channel with an introduction of doing some homestead activity that stopped due to pain and then show why and what to do about it.

The principle is taught; Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.
That doesn't translate very well into every day experience so lets express it as: Every action you take is counterbalanced by many and varied forces on your environment.
If you take a step forward you are pushing the earth back. That doesn't bother the earth because it is big and somewhere else someone is taking a step in the opposite direction.
If you take a step forward on ice and your foot slips back all the force has to be absorbed in your body which may cause your nervous system to stick in high alert and affect your walking for years afterward. when your walking is uneven it causes stress and wear on your joints [medical terminology: arthrose] this causes an irritation [medical suffix: itus] Legally I am not allowed to put them together because that is a diagnosis but hopefully you can so that the medical practitioners won't be able to talk over your head.

I have book marked this thread so that I can post more as I publish it.
 
I found a beautiful pie. And a tiny ad:
