Why Transform Hippocratic Medicine Again?

•  It Has Been Integral to Historic Paradigm Changes Over Two and a Half Millennia
• It Can Lead and Seed Post-Civilization Lifeways That Restore Evolution and Balance to What Remains of Life on Earth
• It Has Proven Realistic, Contextual, Self-Supporting, Scaleable, Portable and Sustainable
• It Can Be Become Antidotal to Life-Blind Industrialism Including Artificial Medical Systems
• It Can Readily Dispel Late Modern Psychological Errors Such as Human Exceptionalism, Illusion of Control, and Reliance on Artifice
• It Can Become Antidotal to Errors (e.g. Crimes and Sins) Against Creation
• It Can Revive Lost Common Sense with Other Forms of Naturalism
• Readily Synergizes with Indigenous and Shamanistic Wisdom
• Can Support Humanocracy with Hive Mind
• Can Join Evolved Human Abilities with Restoration Action
• A Substantial Proportion of Humans is Ready for a Better Form of Hippocratic Medicine
• It Isn’t Yet Extinct

Medicine for the Third Millennium

After deconstruction of medicine by the second industrial revolution following WWII, modern technophiles suffocated Hippocratic medicine, breaking its core of learning in real time from patients in the course of clinical care in the way of medical naturalists. While naturalism was kept alive as ecological naturalism by E.O Wilson and Richard Fortey, doctors were severed from life on earth in situ, and failed to see any of the new and insidious epidemics included under the label chronic ambient poisoning (a.k.a. Alderman syndrome).

It is long past time to restore medicine so that the habitat diseases that include humans today can be defined, and patients helped to protect themselves by elimination of artificial chemicals and radiation that the body did not evolve to process. These include conventional poisoned foods, home and yard products originally developed as agents of biological warfare, and other chemical and radiation products that are poisoning life on earth, including humans. Medicine has become dogma based on digitized junk science. Better to restore phenomenology in the clinics so that doctors are not driving the already out of control Sixth Extinction.

Since the 1970’s, doctors have become employees, have ceded the profession to insensate systems, and have lost even the memory of how to formulate new diagnoses in the context of emerging views, frames and constructs in which all lives are diagnosed and treated as the one entity they are: the biome.

What’s at stake is detailed below.

Why Now?

• Knowledge is Agency
• Direct Learning from Nature Can Become Wisdom
• Common Sense is Both Rare and Irreplaceable
• Grounding in Life and Orientation to Deep Time are Necessary to Reverse the Sixth Extinction
• Chronic Ambient Poisoning By Artificial Chemicals and Radiation Are Disabling Untold Humans
• It Isn’t Too Late to Restore Evolution Individually and Congregally

What Essential Skills Can Humans Recover from the Time of Hippocrates?

• Learning with and from Patients in their Ecosystems
• Defining and Solving New Heath Problems
• Recovering Evolved Abilities for Direct Sensory Learning and Mentoring
• Being Aways Aware of the Sacred Aspect of All Life
• Applying Antidotal Thinking
• Characterizing New, Dynamic Ailments Related to Human-Caused Deforestation, Wetlands Drainage, Desertification and Extinction since the Last Ice Age
• Resuming Trans-Generational Accretion of Wisdom

What Essential Skills Can Humans Recover from the Time of Maimonides?

• What Essential Skills Can Humans Recover from the Time of Maimonides?
• Integrating Medicine and Religion
• Recognizing Tangible and Intangible Aspects of Bodies as One

What Essential Skills Can We Recover from the Interventionism of the Scottish Enlightenment?

• Rejecting Pre-modern Fatalism, Stasis, and Complacency
• Assuming Agency and Responsibility for Individual as well as Population Cure
• Accepting that Team Medicine is Impossible in a Time of Specialist Fragmentation

What Can We Keep or Restore of Late Modern Medicine?

• Three-Level Responsive Emergency Services

• Etiogenetic Models For Primary, Secondary and Tertiary Prevention
• Embrace Complex, Human-Scale Causal and Mechanistic Constructs
• Clinical Learning and Problem Solving integral to Clinical Practice and Medical Training
• Emphasize Relief of Suffering with Integral Care

What Do We Need to Do Now?

• Aim for a Living Futur
• Implement Habitat Restoration Clinics and Communitie
• Implement the Construct of Chronic Ambient Poisoning in Direct Clinical Learning
• Contextualize Care and Cure of Each as All from the Human Sale Inward to the Microbiome, and from the Human Scale Outward to the Biome
• Care for Humans with All Evolved Life and with the Conditions of Evolution
• Begin and Sustain Continuous Learning and Adaptation with Embodied Experience, Curating Personal Knowledge Bases and Action Patterns without Ceasing
• Contextualize Decision-Making in Evolutionary and Geophysical Time
• Become Familiar with Human-Caused Threats to Human Life That Began with the Last Ice Age, Accelerated with the Anthropocene, and Amped Up after WWII, When War Toxins Became Drivers of our Present Death Economy
• Stop Referring Mysteries to Ungrounded Psychiatrists and Tunnel-Vision Specialists
• Stop Suppressing Warning Signs and Symptom that Can Teach You What to Do
• Stop Pursing False Efficiencies that Promote Extinction
