Bio-Hacking

Last week I gave you one simple solution to solving all of your medical and health issues: Bio-Hack. What is Bio-Hacking, and how can you use it to champion a healthy lifestyle despite a system which may not necessarily be fighting on your side?

Here’s how.

Top 10 conditions that will require bio-hacking yourself and your surroundings to prevent and treat:

1. Neurodegeneration: Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Dementia
2. Diabetes
3. Autoimmune disease
4. Heart disease
5. Cancer
6. Scoliosis
7. Infertility
8. Obesity
9. Depression, Anxiety, Attention Deficit, Autism
10. Gastrointestinal disorders

Until recently, Bio-Hackers were a community of scientists, PhD biologists, tech junkies and entrepreneurs. This list has greatly expanded to include the healthcare, fitness and nutritional communities.

Over the years, I have had some of the most brilliant professors and mentors. I feel like I truly stand on the shoulders of giants. Dr. Carrick of the Carrick Institute has been my professor since 1994. I feel he was the original neuro bio-hacker.

Who are the Bio-hackers of today and the future?

Bio-hackers are doctors from multiple fields of study: chiropractors, medical doctors, dentists, optometrists, nutritionists, PhD’s, fitness and nutrition experts, acupuncturists, naturopaths, and many others.

Bio-hackers are well versed in reading and applying current research to support recommendations. Bio-hackers will respect and follow the laws of nature, as they impact us as an organism, not a set of current symptoms. Bio-hackers will be concerned with what works for the individual, and understand that sometimes the sample size in a study has to be One.

Bio-hackers will exist outside of the medical system. They will be people who live the life they preach and have personal experience and training in the art of coaching, mentoring and solving problems.

Bio-hackers are filling the void: The void was created by a system that has failed those who are interested in optimal performance, health restoration and disease reversal.

Bio-hackers will, as they do now, exist outside of the modern healthcare delivery system where people are currently taught to accept their fate, take their medicine and hope they can feel better one day.

The current medical model is saying to us, “Get used to feeling like ‘sh*t’ for a long time and when it’s necessary to take extreme surgical or chemotherapeutic measures, we will save your life, so you can have 5 more additional years feeling like ‘sh*t.’” This is the status quo that people are beginning to think is normal. Our politicians will keep telling the public that if we take more money from the rich, only then will they have enough money to pay for all of the medications and surgeries the public needs.

I hate to be the cynic but the cake is baked. As good of an idea as universal healthcare is, the end result will be, and already is, a system written and run by very few people with a very limited belief system of where health and disease come from. The very same people who stand to profit the most from a sick culture addicted to expensive medicine and surgery. These people are the politicians who make the promises and the business interests that support them.

I am an eternal optimist: We actually live in the best time and place to solve these problems.

After working with many patients overseas in Europe, the Middle East and Canada, I will tell you that the U.S. is still the best place to live if you want to be able to step out of this system. The reason is that you are still free to do so, while people in other nations do not have access to a free market system of diagnostics, healthcare products and services that are dropping in price due to advances in technology. Technology is what drives prices down for everything in a free market system. Traditional healthcare has not been a free market system for quite sometime, which is why insurance companies have been paying $1,200 for an MRI for 25 years. In every aspect of technology that involves computing power, Moore’s law dictates that computing power doubles in power and halves in price every 18 months.

Now that traditional health care and how it’s researched, delivered and paid for is much more centralised and under the control of fewer and fewer people (federal government, large hospital corporations, pharmaceutical companies, and just a handful of large insurance companies), the demand for a parallel system to exist outside of the traditional system is high and being met by brilliant minds who think differently and have the legal rights to deliver another form of healthcare. The traditional system will serve us well to treat crisis, manage disease long-term and avert crisis. There is great value in this traditional system.

The parallel system, however, is for those interested in health restoration, performance enhancement, disease reversal and overall optimal function and human experience. This is what you are interested and what this website is dedicated to.
