"Incurable Symptoms" Those of us who care about health are pretty good at handling an occasional sniffle or muscle spasm or other temporary illness. But what about those symptoms that we get that we never find out the cause of …or cure for. We go from one specialist to another, we try various "out of the box" alternative health solutions. But for too many of us, too often, and even too soon …we begin to accept that the symptom is just part of how our life is going to be from now on. The reason we give up on overcoming illnesses and instead just start living with the symptom permanently is that modern medicine today rests on a set of "proven facts." Scientifically-proven facts like the Germ Theory of Disease, or the concept of the so-called "selfish gene." Why go looking for a cure for MS when it's a medical "fact" that this condition is incurable? I'll tell you why. Because it's NOT a proven fact. There's no such thing as a proven fact! (Scientific or otherwise) But not understanding this, conventional medical approaches to diagnosis and care make 5 terrible mistakes: Assuming that if the cause isn't removable, the patient must switch her goal to "coping." The conventional approach is to give up on the goal of healing. Assuming that the health "condition" is a thing. Once it afflicts you, the treatment goal is to last as long as you can with this condition. Conventional care will have you increase treatment and decrease other activities in life. Assuming that our symptoms arise from strictly physical factors, such as anatomical defects including brain chemistry defects, which combine in a perfect storm with outside triggers. Conventional medicine says this is random, now that body part is damaged. Bad luck. Assuming that, since the environment is a "cause" or "trigger" of the symptom, the only way to control the symptom is to avoid the environmental triggers. Again, the conventional approach recommends that we avoid life to avoid our symptom. Assuming that if a symptom doesn't respond to treatment, it's simply an incurable condition and that's just life. The conventional response is to point out small possibilities that might make your condition a little more bearable. These mistakes come from a false dogma. Escaping that dogma is a huge step in the direction of finding a true cure, no matter the symptom. Listen to Episode 13 of the Mind Over Symptom Podcast to find out how religious dogma has created a massive bias in health care today …and also how a new scientific discovery spreading around the world today can overthrow that dogma and help you achieve a "medical miracle" today.

Is a good life something you get by avoiding disease for as long as possible? That's the undercurrent of conventional and alternative health alike: eat this, don't eat that, test this marker, and you get to postpone the bad thing a while longer. Avoidance, as a lifestyle. The Greeks had a word for what a good life really is: eudaimonia. Flourishing. The highest human good. But it comes with a paradox that I think undermines 21st-century civilization: the good life depends on getting your physical needs met, and focusing on getting your physical needs met pushes the good life away. Every advertisement you've ever seen runs on this paradox. So does most of religion, most self-improvement, and nearly all of the wellness industry. In this episode I show you the way out, which isn't a question of "how do I stop doing this," but, instead, "what am I getting out of this?" I tell you how my cigarette addiction fell away without willpower once the special biological program had nothing left to do. Then I give you the four questions, in the right order, so that you can get the good life, too. Listen now: https://mindtreehealth.co/blog/the-good-life-eudaimonia New here?

A woman wrote to me with a question that's more common than she thinks: "I don't feel sexual desire for my husband — how do I get it back?" The pop-psychology answer blames him, her hormones, or her technique. It's none of those. In this episode I walk through why desire runs on polarity — the masculine attracted to the feminine, the feminine attracted by the masculine — and what happens when a woman starts managing her husband instead of trusting him: she masculinizes, he emasculates, and without either of them doing anything wrong, he turns into her teenage son. I get into the biology (temporal-lobe conflicts, hormone status), tell you about the worst backseat driver I ever rode with, and lay out exactly how to hand the territory back so desire returns on its own.

There's an old move in logic: reductio ad absurdum. You don't attack an idea. You agree with it, let it be completely true, and follow it all the way to its final destination. If the destination is monstrous, the idea was rotten from the start.
A conversation I had on Here for the Truth with Joel Rafidi and Yerasimos that turned out to be a clear articulation of my whole framework. The root of every "problem" - every symptom, every pattern, every fear - is just one fracture: existential isolation, the severance from the source of your own being. From there: the identity conflict I call the feminine wound (and why most modern men carry it too), the era of "weak men" created by good times, the way the GNM and truth-seeker community smuggled the victim-rescuer drama into the very framework meant to free it, the cancer-screening industry that turns one in three of us into patients (and more than half of cancer patients terminal), and my twenty-two years raising a son with Down syndrome. Underneath it all is the one question: who do I want to be?

A talk about the meaning of life, delivered through your toilet bowl — and Lishui means that completely. Every gut has been running the same four-step routine for half a billion years: take it in, move it along, break it down, extract the change. Every tissue you have, including the brain doing your relationships and self-worth, is a specialized version of that one original organ.
