Hippocratic medicine for the Third Millennium

In the confused commodification of medicine during the late modern era, two and a half millennia of medical learning were lost. On this page, you can see what was lost that you could regain–or gain–in your life to avoid genetic devolution, to restore evolution and its conditions, and to save our own DNA–and all evolved DNA–from extinction.

To do this, you have to transform yourself from the inside (religion) and the outside (science) as per the doctor rabbi Maimonides, who integrated these in Eurasia in medieval times.

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
  • Embodying the Tree of Life to Strengthen and Balance Character
  • Recovering Syncretic, Integrative, Global, Localist Thinking
  • Matching Habitat-Specific Ailments to Local Natural Medicines

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
  • Recovering Peak Clinical Acumen for Direct, Accurate (Valid) Learning
  • Rejecting Analysis and Returning to Syncresis
  • Returning to Cultural Expectation of and Responsibility for Unavoidable Uncertainty, Chance and Error
  • Eschewing Systematic Errors Imposed by Life-Blind Interferers
  • Recognizing that Uniformity and Conformity block Learning, Accuracy and Syncresis
  • Relying on Medical Records that express ignorance, uncertainty, and open questions
  • Expecting to Cure Toxicity Over Time with Continuity of Care

What Can We Keep or Restore of Late Modern Medicine?

  • Three-Level Responsive Emergency Services
  • Pathogenetic Models of Ailments, Complications, and Consequences
  • 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
