Re: [surfacehippy] Why so many young having implants??

Edith,
My view is that health care is not oriented to beig
preventative or educational; rather, health care as we
know it deals with the problems only after they are
symptomatic, acute or chronic, and not as part of a
WHOLE person, but a set of symptoms that have to be
"deleted".
Also, physiology and anatomy seem to have gone the way
of geography in our educational systems!
There is definitely a growng interest in gentle forms
of exercise, bodywork, intergrative medicice,
holisitic health approaches, inlcuding
clean/natural/non-indistrial nutrition-- I think the
demand exceeds the supply!!
Also, the last decade or so has evidenced an
extraordinary pressure on kids to specialize in one
sport or phyiscal activity (playing an instrument,
dance) at a very young age with very high rates of
frequency and intensity- not good for our bodies as
they were made!!
Hopefully, we will not just get better at the
solutions to these new body problems, but we will stop
having them even occur so much.
Your point of view is always welcome here, Edith.
Good luck with your happier hip (and body and soul),
jackie
