Recently I have been surrounded by people in pain, in body and mind. One person in pain, currently, is my wife who has had a terrible pain in her side for some time. Hopefully, the pain will be healed by a hospital procedure tomorrow. Others in pain now are family and friends suffering from loss of a loved one, or illnesses of body and mind. In fact, after I take my wife to a hospital/clinic to relieve her pain in the morning, in the afternoon I am taking a friend to the same place to see a pain doctor about relief from a pain she has been suffering from for over three years. Both my wife and my friend, although they have good health insurance plans, are battling insurance companies for health care. In helping my wife get care I discovered from the insurance company that there has been a change of ‘networks’ in our health care. This means I can no longer, without great cost, see my own personal doctor of the last fourteen years. Pain of body and mind is hard enough, let alone with the need to battle with insurance companies for health care.

How to be compassionate and sympathetic to persons in pain without allowing the other person’s pain to affect you is a difficult struggle. Here, I believe, we can learn from nature. If a plant gets sick and dies, others ones will live and grow if the sick plant does not have a contagious diseases. When trees feel winter coming on they shed their leaves so they can survive better with reduced sunlight. Some trees need to be pruned so the branches left can grow. Certain insects and plants protect other plants from being affected. I am told that the marigolds that surround my front lawn garden deter some insects. When fires naturally burn forests they leave ashes that revitalize the soil for more trees to grow. When a plant, animal or insect affects nature there is usually something else to counteract it and restore the balance. Parts of nature works together to heal the whole.

In all this talk about health care reform I believe we can learn from nature. I believe if making profit off of someone’s illness were removed from the health care system, doctors, hospitals, patients, and health insurance companies could come up with effective and affordable health care system for all.

Profit is like the insect brought in from outside or the carp brought into the waterways from foreign lands: it destroys the balance of Nature’s Cure.

When I was in India on Pilgrimage of Peace the first place we were taken was to the Nature Cure center in Hyderabad. There massage, yoga, baths, healthy foods and drinks were used with other natural means to cure persons of illnesses and diseases. Nature cures.
