now my mom is 69 and heart-attack-free!\u00a0 No matter what we eat and how much we exercise, that genetic line has crazy cholesterol.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We all got to see the dark side of Western Medicine when Covid hit.\u00a0 All of a sudden, the word \u201cscience\u201d was being thrown around to enforce political will.\u00a0 The CDC was basing recommendations off of anecdotal events in barber shops.\u00a0 The FDA did whatever the White House told it to do while senior scientists resigned in protest.\u00a0 Families were prohibited from saying good-bye to their dying loved ones.\u00a0 It was inhuman, cold, and the \u201cscience\u201d was corrupted.\u00a0 Studies that editors didn\u2019t like weren\u2019t published, even if they were high quality research.\u00a0 Important voices were silenced.\u00a0 Doctors were punished by medical boards for dubious reasons.\u00a0 These things all distort that beautiful Truth that Western Medicine is supposed to be able to find.\u00a0 From my perspective on the ground, I have seen a huge uptick in distrust of Western Medicine over the past 3 years, but honestly there have been reasons for some mistrust throughout its entire history.\u00a0 The problem is, many people throw out the baby with the bathwater and don\u2019t want anything to do with anything in Western Medicine.\u00a0 That is just silly.\u00a0 Western Medicine practically eradicated both smallpox and polio.\u00a0 It has found cures for pneumonia and very effective treatments for diabetes and HIV.\u00a0 There is not room in this essay for all of the good it has accomplished.\u00a0 It continues to contain many useful tools for supporting health.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Camp 2:\u00a0 Natural and Holistic<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This camp is based on ancient wisdom.\u00a0 For thousands of years, people have discovered medicinal properties of various things in nature.\u00a0 I admit that I know the least about this topic, but I very much appreciate the enchantment.\u00a0 As a child, I loved walking through the forests in rural Oregon with my grandmother, who would stop and name every little plant and flower, and she knew which ones had special properties.\u00a0 The truth is, many Western medicines come from plants or minerals.\u00a0 The foxglove, a beautiful Oregon wildflower, is the source of Digitalis, a heart medication.\u00a0 Sennosides, an effective stimulant laxative, comes from senna plants, which are found along the banks of the Nile river in northern Africa.\u00a0 In addition, it is abundantly clear that patients who change their diets to include more fruits, vegetables, water, legumes, and whole grains, become healthier.\u00a0 God created the world full of little treasures for us to find.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The dark side of this camp is that there is a lot of\u2026 wishful thinking, placebo effects, imagination, psychological tricks, and straight up lies.\u00a0 Many of the products and treatments are not studied or regulated, people call themselves \u201cdoctor\u201d or \u201chealer\u201d and claim that their oxygen, light, ozone, IV infusion, vitamin, mineral, herbal, crystal, electromagnetic field, hyperthermia, stem cell, phytochemical, cupping, needle, proton, or other mystical or pseudoscientific treatment will resolve medical problems.\u00a0 They are not held to any standard of proof that any of the treatments work and are safe.\u00a0 They also do not have to prove that their ozone is really ozone or that their glutathione is really glutathione.\u00a0 There is no penalty if they make things up.\u00a0 Again, we shouldn\u2019t throw out babies with bathwater, but I don\u2019t know how one finds trustworthy practitioners or effective treatments in a field where there is not an objective process to weed out coincidence or deception from truth.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Camp 3:\u00a0 Faith<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This camp is by definition the most ethereal.\u00a0 It claims that God is almighty and good, and He might heal us if we ask him.\u00a0 Stories of God healing people, communities, and even the land are abundant in the Bible.\u00a0 Jesus\u2019 second most common activity was healing people.\u00a0 Each healing was unique and many were recorded in great detail.\u00a0 Additionally, many people today have experienced what they would call miracles.\u00a0 Many doctors have seen patients make unexplained recoveries &#8211; tumors have disappeared, patients with devastating strokes have gotten up and walked out of the hospital.\u00a0 For me, it\u2019s not so hard to believe that miracles happen, as I have seen them myself.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In fact, I believe the most thoroughly in this camp, but I am also wary of those who cling too exclusively to it.\u00a0 I have known patients who rely entirely on faith to heal them, and they refuse Western medical interventions that I know will help them.\u00a0 They see this as a badge of their faith, but I see it as unnecessary suffering.\u00a0 This is the dark side of this camp.\u00a0 There are also faith healers and pastors who promote this camp as an exclusive camp, suggesting that those who take medications are acting outside of God\u2019s will.\u00a0 I see this most frequently with psychiatric treatments, but it can extend to cancer, blood pressure, liver disease, anywhere.\u00a0 The other caveat with this camp is the simple reality that God is sovereign, He doesn\u2019t heal everyone we ask Him to heal, and death is not the end for God.\u00a0 Some people are healed and others are not healed.\u00a0 Ultimately, we don\u2019t get to order God around; all we can do is ask.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>The Healing Grove Way: An entirely different camp<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Could there be another way?\u00a0 At Healing Grove Health Center, we try to find a healthy mix of all three camps.\u00a0 We are firmly rooted in Western Medicine, and believe (most) scientific research is valid and true.\u00a0 We also are huge fans of God\u2019s creation, and encourage people to base their diets on plants as much as possible.\u00a0 Some of our appointments happen in our test kitchen where we find ways to put more vegetables in favorite recipes.\u00a0 We know exercise, fresh air, sunshine, and friends are essential for health, which is why we have sports programs, a youth group, men\u2019s and women\u2019s groups, and political advocacy around parks and recreation spaces.\u00a0 We are thrilled when we can take patients off of their medicines because of weight loss or healing.\u00a0 We also have a strong pastoral presence and offer prayer, pastoral counseling, Bible studies, and Celebrate Recovery for patients and community members who want to work on their spiritual health.\u00a0 We also frequently stop and pray during clinic to ask God for healing.\u00a0 We believe in eternal life and we want everyone to experience it, and because of that, we know that there are things that are worse than death.\u00a0 This informs the way we practice medicine and our understanding of what true healing is.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>The Healing Grove Solution!<\/h3>\n<p>At Healing Grove Health Center, we position ourselves outside of the broken medical system and keep our panel sizes low so that we can take excellent care of each of our patients.\u00a0 We offer concierge medicine services for a monthly fee, cutting out the middle man (insurance companies and their interests) and allowing us the luxury of focusing entirely on you, the patient.\u00a0 We answer the phone, we get to know you and your family, we understand your personality and your goals, and we can tailor your medical care to do what is right for you.\u00a0 We have same day appointments and even weekend and holiday appointments when needed, to keep our patients out of urgent cares, ERs, and hospitals as much as possible.\u00a0 We also have the flexibility to work within the system when needed for specialty care.<\/p>\n<p>Try Healing Grove out!\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/intakeq.com\/booking\/gbahkn?locationId=2\">Schedule an appointment today!<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Questions?\u00a0 Call or text us at 408.459.4443.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221;

We find the most affordable meds, radiology, and lab tests in the South Bay, which are often less expensive than health plan co-pays.[\/vc_column_text][nectar_btn size=&#8221;jumbo&#8221; open_new_tab=&#8221;true&#8221; button_style=&#8221;see-through-2&#8243; color_override=&#8221;#216869&#8243; hover_text_color_override=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; icon_family=&#8221;none&#8221; text=&#8221;Become a Member&#8221; url=&#8221;https:\/\/healinggrovehealthcenter.hint.com\/signup\/membership&#8221; margin_top=&#8221;30px&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; column_element_spacing=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/12&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; border_type=&#8221;simple&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_tablet=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_phone=&#8221;default&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; row_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; row_border_radius_applies=&#8221;bg&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; column_element_spacing=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; border_type=&#8221;simple&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][nectar_global_section id=&#8221;1781&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row type=&#8221;full_width_background&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; equal_height=&#8221;yes&#8221; content_placement=&#8221;bottom&#8221; column_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_tablet=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_phone=&#8221;default&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; top_padding=&#8221;200px&#8221; bottom_padding=&#8221;50px&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; row_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; row_border_radius_applies=&#8221;bg&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; shape_type=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; column_element_spacing=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221;&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":2378,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-2365","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-blog"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>How to handle a difficult medical diagnosis - Healing Grove Health Center<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Should you trust western medicine, faith or natural\/holistic medicine?
